Miss Shen ran away after finishing her meal, which angered her short-lived uncle to the point of res

Shen Feiwan did not answer Chen Youen's question; her gaze was fixed on her phone screen.

The next second, Lin Xiaoyan sent another text message.

"What a coincidence! I thought you were here too. My dear wife, it's been so long."

Shen Feiwan's fingertip paused on the screen for a few seconds before she quickly replied.

What do you mean by posting this photo?

Lin Xiaoyan replied almost instantly.

"It's nothing special, I just ran into someone I knew, that's all."

Shen Feiwan's brows furrowed more and more, so she simply exited the chat interface and dialed Bo Junxing's number.

But all she got in return was a long busy tone on the receiver, until the call ended automatically.

In the past, Shen Feiwan would have chosen to call after a while, but today was different. She made more than ten calls in a row, but all of them went unanswered.

Chen Youen also sensed something was wrong. "Why don't you call his assistant? Do you have his assistant's number?"

"Yes." Shen Feiwan quickly switched to her contacts, but the result was the same: no one answered.

"Where is he going on a business trip? Who is he meeting?" Chen Youen asked again.

Shen Feiwan had already walked quickly towards the study. "Turn on the computer and talk."

Half an hour later, Shen Feiwan looked away from the computer screen.

She rubbed her slightly sore eyes and said thoughtfully, "The situation is quite serious. I hadn't paid much attention to these things before."

Chen You'en scrolled through the webpage, the information scrolling by line by line. Without looking up, she answered the question, her tone tinged with worry.

"Bo Junxing's chip project is gaining momentum, which inevitably attracts envy. Foreign countries have always been holding us back in the technology field, and recently they have changed leadership and are making things difficult for us in terms of international trade rules. As the group president, Bo Junxing is going abroad on a business trip for a month or two. Has the Bo Group not assessed these risks?"

Shen Feiwan frowned. "I heard him mention that this trip has been delayed for a long time. I didn't ask for details, but the company can't possibly not conduct a risk assessment."

She paused, her voice deepening, "If Lin Xiaoyan hadn't sent that kind of text message, I wouldn't have even considered this possibility. The most crucial thing is that I can't get in touch with him now, which just feels a bit suspicious."

Chen Youen sighed, "Then we can only ask our friends over there. I'll contact C. You rest for a while."

As she spoke, she picked up her phone.

Shen Feiwan replied with an "okay," saying she was going to pour water for Chen Youen, but her hands were busy dialing Bo Junxing's number.

When I got to the fourth one, it suddenly went through.

Shen Feiwan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but before the other person could speak, she anxiously asked, "Where did you go just now? Why didn't you answer my calls?"

There was a two-second silence, but instead of Bo Junxing's voice, a mocking voice came from the other end of the phone, sending a chill down her spine instantly—

"It's me." Lin Xiaoyan's voice came through the electricity, laced with undisguised mockery. "So this is what you're like when you're genuinely worried about someone. Compared to this, everything you did to me before was obviously an act."

Shen Feiwan's heart skipped a beat. "Why is his phone in your hands?"

A soft scoff came from the other end of the phone. Lin Xiaoyan's tone was nonchalant, yet chillingly cold: "If I said I found it, would you believe me?"

Shen Feiwan gripped the phone tightly, her voice icy, "Do you think I'd believe such nonsense?"

Lin Xiaoyan chuckled softly on the other end of the line, his laughter tinged with an indescribable mockery. "Whether you believe it or not is your business."

"What exactly do you want?" Shen Feiwan asked patiently.

Lin Xiaoyan's voice suddenly tightened, "Someone told me a joke a few days ago, do you want to hear it?"

"I don't want to hear it!" Shen Feiwan was losing patience, her tone filled with suppressed anger.

"That's not up to you." Lin Xiaoyan's voice suddenly turned cold, carrying an unyielding force. "You have to listen whether you want to or not!"

He said, word by word, "You should remember Zou Xinyi, right? She came to me a couple of days ago and said she was pregnant with my child—don't you think that's ridiculous?"

Shen Feiwan frowned, her fingertips unconsciously curling up, and a silence lingered in the air for a few seconds.

Is Zou Xinyi pregnant? Didn't she say she would take birth control pills on time?

"What, have you gone mute?" Seeing that Shen Feiwan remained silent, Lin Xiaoyan sneered, "Does your silence mean you agree with what Zou Xinyi said? So you really did conspire with her to drug me? Hmm?"

Lin Xiaoyan sneered, the last word laced with furious gritted teeth.

Shen Feiwan swallowed hard. Reason told her that she couldn't provoke Lin Xiaoyan right now; it wasn't the right time.

But the facts are there: since Zou Xinyi dared to come to him, she must have already made things clear, so even if she made up some elaborate story, Lin Xiaoyan wouldn't believe her.

Seeing that she remained silent, Lin Xiaoyan suddenly laughed, "It seems... it's all true. Shen Feiwan, you really are a 'good wife,' using such dirty tricks to push your man to another woman. You disgust me!"

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Feiwan heard a loud crash, like a phone being slammed against a wall and then falling heavily to the ground.

The call was immediately disconnected.
