Mu Ya'an looked at the man's cold and stern face, paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and said softly.

"I've investigated some things, but I don't know who to ask for help, so I can only come to you."

She spoke softly, her eyes filled with a heavy expression.

Upon hearing Mu Ya'an's words, Gong Juncheng's eyes flashed with mockery, and he said coldly.

"Mu Ya'an, you really don't come to me unless you need something. You never think of me normally, but you only think of me when there's a problem?"

Upon hearing Gong Juncheng's words, Mu Ya'an paused for a moment, then quickly explained.

"No, I'd love to see you at other times too, but don't you want to see me?"

Upon hearing Mu Ya'an's urgent explanation, Gong Juncheng's expression changed, becoming slightly cold and somber.

After Mu Ya'an finished speaking, she fell silent.

The atmosphere between the two gradually cooled down. Gong Juncheng looked at Mu Ya'an, who was sitting to the side with her head down, frowned, and finally asked.

"What did you say you investigated?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an turned her gaze to Gong Juncheng and said softly.

"Chiba" is now in Huo Ye's hands.

Gong Juncheng's face darkened upon hearing this.

"What did you say?"

He has been investigating this matter for the past three years, but the information he has is completely different from what Mu Ya'an knows.

He frowned, his face darkening.

Mu Ya'an pursed her red lips, her eyes showing a hint of heaviness, and said softly.

"I don't know why all the news eventually pointed to Huo Ye. It's as if someone was deliberately directing it."

"I don't know how to handle this right now, so I can only come and tell you this news first."

Upon hearing Mu Ya'an's words, Gong Juncheng's expression became more somber.

He looked at Mu Ya'an indifferently and said in a cold voice.

"You don't need to investigate this matter any further."

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

She had finally managed to get this information, and it was very likely that she would find out what her parents had gone through. But now Gong Juncheng was telling her not to investigate any further, which Mu Ya'an found hard to accept.

She thought that Gong Juncheng would help her in this matter, no matter what.

She took a deep breath, looked intently at Gong Juncheng, and said in a low voice.

"I just want to know the truth."

Gong Juncheng glanced indifferently at Mu Ya'an and said in a cold voice.

"Mu Ya'an, some truths are actually not important."

Mu Ya'an frowned upon hearing this.

She stared at Gong Juncheng for a while, and seeing the serious expression on his face, she took a deep breath.

She didn't want to argue with Gong Juncheng, so she looked at him and gave in.

"I see."

Regardless of whether Gong Juncheng helps her or not, she will continue her investigation.

Gong Juncheng gave Mu Ya'an a cold glance before looking away.

Sometimes, the truth is far more cruel than it seems.

Gong Juncheng knew some things about the Mu family, including how Mu Ya'an's parents got into trouble.

However, he felt that it was best for Mu Ya'an not to know about this matter.

However, the fact that "Chiba" was in Huo Ye's hands was something Gong Juncheng had never expected.

He could say he had absolutely no connection between the recent events and Huo Ye.

Now that I think about it, Huo Ye is indeed worth investigating.

When Gong Juncheng's assistant returned after finishing his business, he saw Mu Ya'an in Gong Juncheng's hospital room. Mu Ya'an was sitting quietly in the chair next to Gong Juncheng, and the atmosphere between the two was unusually harmonious. He paused for a moment.

When Gong Juncheng saw his assistant return, his gaze immediately fell on Mu Ya'an, and he said in a cold voice.

"We don't need you here anymore, you can leave."

Mu Ya'an was taken aback when she heard the voice.

She looked up and saw her assistant walking into the ward.

"Miss Mu, leave this to me."

Mu Ya'an nodded slightly upon hearing this.

She glanced at her assistant, then looked down at the time. She had to go to the photo studio for a shoot soon, so she had to leave from there.

“I will still come tomorrow. Miss Sheng asked me to take care of you, so I will take care of you until you are discharged from the hospital.”

Gong Juncheng frowned upon hearing Mu Ya'an's words, his expression darkening, but he did not refuse.

Mu Ya'an left Gong Juncheng's side directly, entered the elevator, and went down.

Mu Ya'an arrived at the hospital lobby and saw Lin Hao helping "Zhao Xiang" walk towards the pharmacy. Her expression was one of extreme surprise.

It had only been half a month since Lin Xiaoruo and Shen Huai got engaged. Mu Ya'an had no idea what had happened in such a short period of time.

When Mu Ya'an saw Lin Hao and "Zhao Xiang", she thought she was seeing things. But when she saw Sheng Xia walking towards them, Mu Ya'an was almost certain that she was not mistaken.

When she walked into Gong Juncheng's ward, she could tell that Sheng Xia's mood seemed off and her complexion wasn't as good as before.

It's probably because there are problems with their relationship.

After all, Zhao Xiang is the eldest daughter of the Zhao family and also a person in politics.

If Lin Hao were to get together with "Zhao Xiang", it would greatly boost and benefit Lin Hao's career.

But......

Lin Hao was someone who was willing to give up his career for Sheng Xia, but such a huge change occurred in just half a month, which is really unbelievable.

She glanced at it quickly and then immediately looked away, not wanting to stay there any longer.

Gong Juncheng already has a lot of complaints about her. If she gets involved in Shengxia's emotional turmoil at this time, it will only make Gong Juncheng more dissatisfied with her.

So Mu Ya'an chose to go blind and leave directly.

After leaving the hospital, she hailed a taxi. As soon as she got in, she noticed that the taxi driver was wearing a baseball cap, and his back view seemed somewhat familiar.

"Guo Zijun?"

She spoke softly, her expression subtly changing.

When Guo Zijun saw that Mu Ya'an recognized her, his expression changed, and he said in a low voice.

"Ya'an, you must leave from the North City now. If you don't leave, I can't protect you anymore."

Upon hearing Guo Zijun's words, Mu Ya'an's expression changed, and she said in a deep voice.

"What do you mean?"

Guo Zijun took a deep breath and said sternly.

"Do you really think you can find out those things? Someone deliberately leaked the information to you. And now, you've become the bait."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an's expression changed slightly.

When Guo Zijun said this, she looked blank, completely unaware of what he meant.

Seeing Mu Ya'an's blank expression, Guo Zijun said sternly.

"Listen to me, don't get involved in these things anymore, and don't investigate your parents anymore, otherwise... I really won't be able to protect you."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

"I don't need you to protect me. If you really want to protect me, tell me your plan."

Upon hearing Mu Ya'an's words, Guo Zijun's expression changed, and he said in a slightly helpless tone.

"Ya'an, you know perfectly well that it's impossible."

How could he possibly tell Muya'an about their plans?

Telling Mu Ya'an means telling Gong Juncheng.

Guo Zijun knew that Mu Ya'an had always been on Gong Juncheng's side.
