The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

“I don’t believe they’re dead. As long as I haven’t found them, I believe they’re still alive.”

Mu Ya'an looked at Guo Zijun with an extremely serious expression. After saying these words, she glanced at Guo Zijun indifferently and said in a deep voice.

"The reason I came to see you today is to tell you that with your current strength, you have no way to go against Gong Juncheng. Gong Juncheng's friends are all rich and powerful people."

“Zijun, we grew up together. I don’t want anything to happen to you, nor do I want anything to happen to Gong Juncheng.”

As Guo Zijun listened to Mu Ya'an's words, he suddenly clenched his hand holding the water glass.

His expression immediately darkened, becoming gloomy and unpleasant.

The aura emanating from him was extremely gloomy.

Mu Ya'an was startled by Guo Zijun's current state and paused for a moment.

When Guo Zijun saw that Mu Ya'an looked at him with a hint of fear in her eyes, he said in a low voice.

"Ya'an, are you afraid I'll get hurt, or are you afraid something will happen to Gong Juncheng?"

Mu Ya'an frowned slightly upon hearing this.

She was afraid that something would happen to Gong Juncheng, and she didn't want anything to happen to him. She also didn't want Guo Zijun to do anything extreme.

Guo Zijun's current state made Mu Ya'an feel very unfamiliar, as if he might do something rash at any moment.

Seeing that Mu Ya'an did not answer, Guo Zijun did not force Mu Ya'an to answer his question. He simply glanced at Mu Ya'an quietly and then put down his water glass heavily.

“You’re right, I’m no match for Gong Juncheng on my own right now, but Ya’an, since I’ve been abroad for so many years, I certainly won’t be coming back alone.”

He gave Mu Ya'an a cold glance, his eyes filled with a strong warning.

"Ya'an, I don't care how far your relationship with Gong Juncheng has progressed in the past three years, but if I have any problems, you must cooperate with me, for the sake of your parents and the Mu family."

Mu Ya'an frowned upon hearing this.

Seeing that Mu Ya'an's expression was not so willing, Guo Zijun's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said in a stern voice.

"Ya'an, you and I are the ones who are engaged. You and Gong Juncheng have long since lost all ties. The Mu family and the Guo family are the only true family."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an paused for a moment and said in a low voice.

“I didn’t agree to our engagement at the time. You also said that we could continue to be friends and that you wouldn’t force me to do anything.”

Guo Zijun looked at Mu Ya'an and smiled coldly, his smile full of mockery.

"Ya'an, when I said these words, neither your Mu family nor our Guo family had experienced any changes. Now it's different. We must stand on the same side."

“I know that your relationship with Gong Juncheng hasn’t been that good over the past three years.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Mu Ya'an.

"I think you've already witnessed the depth of Gong Juncheng's hatred for the Mu and Guo families over the past three years."

"If you want to know the whereabouts of your parents, you will not get any information from Gong Juncheng."

"Ya'an, at a time like this, you still have to rely on me."

As soon as Guo Zijun finished speaking, a waiter came to serve the dishes.

He then dropped the subject.

After all the dishes were arranged, Guo Zijun placed a pair of chopsticks in front of Mu Ya'an.

"Over the years, I've gotten used to living a hard life abroad, so I like to eat at these down-to-earth restaurants."

"Ya'an, you haven't suffered too much while you've been by Gong Juncheng's side all these years, so don't complain."

Mu Ya'an glanced at the chopsticks Guo Zijun handed her, then reached out and took them.

However, after she took the chopsticks, she did not use them to pick up any food. Throughout the entire process, she did not eat anything, and she did not even touch the water on the table.

Guo Zijun knew what Mu Ya'an was thinking, and he didn't force her.

He ate by himself, oblivious to everything else.

He tried all the dishes, then glanced at Mu Ya'an and said in a low voice.

"Ya'an, I know you're being affected because of Gong Juncheng, but it's okay, I won't force you to do anything."

"If you want to know about 'Chiba,' I won't lie to you."

As Guo Zijun spoke, he took out a file folder from the side and showed the photos inside to Mu Ya'an.

When Mu Ya'an saw the contents of the photo, his expression was one of shock.

In one of the photos, Chiba is being held in someone's hand.

She became extremely emotional when she saw the hand in the photo.

These are her mother's hands.

"When were these photos taken? Where did you get them?"

The person who took these photos must know where her parents are now.

Seeing Mu Ya'an's current emotional state, Guo Zijun remained remarkably calm.

He took the photo from Mu Ya'an's hand, his tone calm and natural.

"That's all I know so far. If I know anything else, I will definitely tell you in advance."

"During this time, all you need to do is keep in touch with me."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an nodded quickly.

Seeing that Mu Ya'an still cared deeply about the lives of Master Mu and Madam Mu, a cold glint flashed in Guo Zijun's eyes.

Seeing Mu Ya'an's obedient appearance, Guo Zijun reached out and stroked her hair, a smile on his face, and said softly.

"You're still the same as before, not much has changed."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an paused for a moment, and instinctively flinched when Guo Zijun reached out his hand.

However, Guo Zijun still managed to grab her hair.

Her hair slipped gently from his fingertips. When Guo Zijun withdrew his hand, he brought the hand that had just stroked Mu Ya'an's hair to his nose and sniffed it.

"It still smells great, just like before."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an took a deep breath and clenched her fists slightly.

"Wanwan isn't as lucky as you. But thankfully, she's been fortunate enough to enter the entertainment industry recently, though she hasn't really become famous yet. At least she doesn't have to suffer."

Mu Ya'an was stunned when she heard the voice.

Mu Wanwan is her cousin.

When the Mu family ran into trouble, they were among the first to leave H City for overseas.

The funds they took with them should be enough for them to use for a long time.

If it weren't for these people fleeing, the Mu family wouldn't have collapsed so quickly in such a short period of time.

"Have you been with Wanwan these past few years?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Zijun gently shook his head and said in a low voice.

"Of course not, but I know about them. The money they took with them was swindled away within a month. In a foreign country where they know no one, they have nowhere to seek justice."

"So, Ya'an, your life is actually not too bad. Whether meeting Gong Juncheng was your good fortune or your misfortune is hard to say."
