"What are you looking at?"

The sudden voice startled Cheng Yunchuan. He looked up suddenly and saw Li Shufen standing at the door of the study with a trace of panic and guilt on her face.

"Nothing, just taking a look." Cheng Yunchuan calmly hid the diary behind him, and his usual warm smile returned to his face.

Li Shufen obviously didn't believe his words. She walked forward, glanced at the desk behind him, and said meaningfully: "Yunchuan, some things should be left in the past. Why do you have to be obsessed with them?"

Cheng Yunchuan sneered in his heart. Was she warning him? He pretended not to understand and smiled faintly: "I'm just curious about why my mother chose to leave the Qin family."

Li Shufen's face changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. She walked to Cheng Yunchuan and reached out to pat his shoulder, but Cheng Yunchuan dodged her hand calmly.

"Your mother...she was just too depressed back then, that's why..." Li Shufen paused, as if she was organizing her words.

"Why? Why would you choose to commit suicide?" Cheng Yunchuan stood up suddenly, approached Li Shufen, and stared at her sharply.

Li Shufen was frightened by his eyes and took a step back, her face pale: "Yunchuan, you!"

"Me what? Do you know something? Is my mother's death related to you?" Cheng Yunchuan pressed on.

"You're talking nonsense! Your mother's death has nothing to do with me!" Li Shufen flatly denied it.

"Is it really irrelevant? I think this thing should be able to prove whether what you said is true or false?" Cheng Yunchuan sneered, took out a recorder from his pocket and put it on the table.

Li Shufen's face changed drastically. She looked at the recorder on the table in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice, "You...when did you?"

Cheng Yunchuan did not answer her question, but just looked at her coldly, his eyes full of ridicule and disgust.

Li Shufen's voice could be clearly heard from the recorder. It was the content of her phone call with a strange man. Her words were full of malice and calculation. It was the whole story of how she framed Cheng Yunchuan's mother and eventually caused her to commit suicide!

“You…you actually…” Li Shufen’s face turned pale and she collapsed to the ground.

Cheng Yunchuan looked down at her, with no mercy in his eyes, only cold hatred.

"Li Shufen, you owe my mother, I will make you pay the price!"

Cheng Yunchuan sat alone in the study, his fingertips gently stroking the cover of the diary, his eyes filled with an indissoluble haze. Li Shufen's words were still echoing in his ears, but they seemed so pale and powerless.

The contents of the recorder were like a knife that cut off the last bit of warmth in his heart. Over the years, he had deliberately avoided investigating the cause of his mother's death, thinking that time could heal all the pain. However, he did not expect the truth to be so cruel, shattering his last fantasy.

"Achuan, are you okay?" A crisp voice sounded outside the door, with some hesitation and worry.

Cheng Yunchuan quickly put away his diary and recorder, took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, and then opened the door.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Jiang Mubai standing at the door, Cheng Yunchuan's eyes flashed with surprise, followed by an unconcealable tenderness.

Jiang Mubai wore a simple white T-shirt today, paired with a pair of light blue jeans. Her long black hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Her face was not made up, but her beautiful and charming temperament could not be concealed.

She was supposed to be filming on the set, but now she appeared here. A warm feeling surged in Cheng Yunchuan's heart.

"Your phone has been turned off, and I'm a little worried about you. I heard from the housekeeper that you have been locking yourself in the study since you came back. Did something happen?" There was a hint of fatigue between Jiang Mubai's eyebrows, but he could not hide his concern.

Cheng Yunchuan looked at the considerate woman in front of him with mixed feelings. He wanted to tell her everything, but was worried about dragging her into this chaotic vortex.

"It's nothing serious, just dealing with some personal matters. You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some food." Cheng Yunchuan answered evasively, stretched out his hand to pull her into the study, and asked with concern.

Jiang Mubai grabbed his wrist with her backhand to stop him. She stared at Cheng Yunchuan with burning eyes and said firmly: "Brother Yunchuan, you don't have to hide it from me, I know everything."

Cheng Yunchuan was stunned: "What do you know?"

Jiang Mubai didn't say anything, but took out a yellowed diary from his bag, which was the one Cheng Yunchuan had just hidden.

"I went to your apartment to see you today and found it by accident. Brother Yunchuan, you must be feeling very uncomfortable. You can tell me anything. I am willing to face it with you." Jiang Mubai put the diary in his hands.

Cheng Yunchuan looked at the diary in his hand, struggled for a moment, and finally told her everything.

From the tragic love story between his mother and Qin Xiong, to Li Shufen's conspiracy, to the horrifying conversation in the recorder, he did not hide a single thing.

Jiang Mubai listened quietly without interrupting, but just held his hand tighter and tighter.

After Cheng Yunchuan finished speaking, the study fell into a long silence. He leaned back in his chair tiredly, his eyes full of pain and confusion.

"Brother Yunchuan, don't be like this. You still have me. I will always be with you." Jiang Mubai looked at him with heartache.

Cheng Yunchuan laughed at himself: "I am really useless. I didn't find out the truth until now. For so many years, I have been living in their lies."

Jiang Mubai stood up and walked behind him, hugging him gently: "Silly boy, this is not your fault. Your mother's spirit in heaven would definitely not want you to live in hatred."

Cheng Yunchuan closed his eyes, feeling the warmth and strength coming from her.

"Mu Bai, thank you. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do." His voice was a little hoarse.

Jiang Mubai stroked his hair gently: "Let's go together to find out the truth and seek justice for your mother."

Cheng Yunchuan suddenly opened his eyes, with a flash of determination in his eyes: "Yes, we must find out the truth and cannot let them get away with it!"

"I will help you. If we work together, we can definitely uncover their true identities." Jiang Mubai said in a firm tone.

The two smiled at each other, their eyes burning with anger. In this study room full of secrets, they relied on each other and supported each other, as if they had found the courage to fight the whole world.

However, they didn't know that a bigger conspiracy was quietly approaching.

Cheng Yunchuan's slender fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, lines of code flowed down like a waterfall, reflected in his deep eyes.

The study was quiet, with only the sound of typing on the keyboard and the occasional sound of electricity, as if foreshadowing a coming storm.

Jiang Mubai sat beside him, watching him operate quietly, her eyes full of worry and heartache. She knew that what Cheng Yunchuan was doing at the moment was a very dangerous thing, invading the Qin family's surveillance system.
