Chapter 96 Hu Zhou, Nonsense
[A celebration party turns into a murder scene; a talented woman becomes a suspect!]
[The Yun Yao and Xue Qing incident.]
[Imperial University announces: Yun Yao has been expelled.]
One trending topic after another exploded, making Yun Yao famous, but not for a good reason.
"Tsk, I think this adopted daughter of the Yun family has the look of a vixen. She's a leopard can't change its spots; a country bumpkin is a country bumpkin!"
Such comments could be heard every step Yun Yao took on the street, and overnight she was condemned by thousands.
A talented woman in the field of archaeology becomes a murderer; no matter how high her previous honors were, she will inevitably fall to the bottom.
As soon as Su Yuchen entered the company, he heard the receptionist whispering, especially those two words, which he was particularly sensitive to.
"Are you all very free?" Su Yuchen's slightly cold gaze swept towards the front desk.
The two receptionists appeared nervous, keeping their heads down and not daring to speak.
Seeing this, Su Yuchen didn't say anything and strode away with his long legs.
Chen Dong followed behind him, glaring at them with exasperation.
The master hates people who don't work properly and gossip behind people's backs the most. It's fine normally, but he had to do it today!
When I went to pick up my master today, his face was more gloomy than I'd ever seen before. I didn't need to guess why; it was probably because of Miss Yun.
Inside the elevator, Chen Dong felt suffocated.
The already cramped space felt even smaller under the master's imposing presence.
"Master, if you are truly worried about Miss Yun, why don't you go and see her?"
As soon as Chen Dong finished speaking, he felt the air around him freeze, so cold that he almost shivered.
"master……"
"A country has its laws, a family has its rules, and murderers must pay with their lives." Su Yuchen's voice was like a thousand-year-old ice.
"Master, do you really believe Miss Yun would kill someone?" Chen Dong asked.
No sooner had Chen Dong finished speaking than Su Yuchen answered without hesitation, "Why wouldn't I believe you? She's a person with an eccentric personality and ruthless methods. Is there anything she wouldn't do?"
Chen Dong didn't say anything more, but just looked at Su Yuchen's somewhat lonely back and muttered to himself.
Master, if you truly don't care about Miss Yun, why are you so out of control? This isn't like you.
……
Mo Peichen rushed up to the sixty-sixth floor, panting heavily as he ran.
Chen Dong looked up at the person who was leaning on his knees and panting heavily, and asked, "Vice President Mo, you're here so early today?"
Mo Peichen waved his hand, and it took him a moment to recover.
"Chen Dong, who is this woman?" Mo Peichen asked, pointing at his phone.
Chen Dong glanced at his phone, then looked at Mo Peichen.
"Vice President Mo, this is Miss Yun."
Miss Yun? What a load of rubbish! Isn't her surname Hu?
"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you." Mo Peichen rushed into Su Yuchen's office in a hurry.
When Mo Peichen entered, Su Yuchen closed the computer page related to law, his expression remaining normal.
"Don't you know how to knock?" Su Yuchen picked up the contract beside him and flipped through it without even looking up.
Mo Peichen didn't care about these formalities and hurriedly placed his phone in front of Su Yuchen.
"Su Yuchen, who is this woman?"
The photo Mo Peichen showed captured three or four points of Yun Yao's beauty, and Su Yuchen couldn't help but take another look.
"Speak up, brother, who is this woman?"
Su Yuchen then came to his senses and glanced at Mo Peichen indifferently.
"Can't you read?" Can't you see the words "Yun Yao, the illegitimate daughter of the Yun family" written on it?
Mo Peichen was already somewhat incoherent. He pointed at Yun Yao's photo and said, "Yun Yao? Her name is Yun Yao?"
"Ah."
"Su Yuchen, what the hell is Yun Yao? What's her name again? Hu... Hu Zhou! She's a... a vixen!"
Mo Peichen realized he couldn't speak, so he patted Su Yuchen in a flustered manner and pointed to his own mouth.
"Su Yuchen, she's the...uh...uh!" the female demon who kidnapped me on Yuling Island!
Su Yuchen looked at him coldly, his words displeased: "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Mo Peichen pointed to his mouth, unable to express his suffering. After struggling for a long time, he still lost his voice at the crucial moment.
Mo Peichen took the paper and pen and wrote a few words in a flourish.
[Hu Zhou kidnapped me, and Yun Yao is Hu Zhou!]
Su Yuchen glanced at the contents of the paper, then at Mo Peichen's anxious and flustered appearance.
"Are you saying that Yun Yao is the one who kidnapped you on Yuling Island?"
Mo Peichen nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
Su Yuchen's eyes darkened slightly as he traced the two characters "Yun Yao" on the paper with his fingers.
“Hu Zhou, nonsense, didn’t you realize that?” Su Yuchen asked.
Mo Peichen was stunned for a second before he realized what was happening. He slapped his forehead, furious.
"Did she deceive me?" Mo Peichen said angrily.
Su Yuchen nodded, a smile playing on his lips.
"But I'm curious, how did you offend her?"
Mo Peichen was furious when he saw Su Yuchen's amused expression.
"You have the nerve to say that? If it weren't for you, this wicked capitalist, driving a business genius like me to that godforsaken place, Yuancheng, would I have even set my sights on Yuling Island?"
Mo Peichen started rambling on and on, and whenever he was silenced at a crucial moment, he would pick up a pen and write it down on paper.
Ten minutes later, Su Yuchen had almost figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
“Su Yuchen, I’ve been deceived by this woman from beginning to end! I must take back Yuling Island! You have no idea how many…”
“Since she says the things on this island belong to her, then they are hers. It’s just an island; give it to her,” Su Yuchen interrupted Mo Peichen, speaking casually.
Mo Peichen's eyes widened as if he had heard something horrifying.
Is this still the same Su Yuchen who wouldn't get up early for nothing and who would hold a grudge for every little thing?
“It’s not Su Yuchen, you didn’t see those medicinal herbs up there? They’re priceless on the market! If we develop this island, I wonder how much we could earn!” Mo Peichen said, somewhat unwilling.
Su Yuchen looked up at him, his fingers tapping absently on the armrest.
"Do you have any objection?"
Mo Peichen felt uneasy under his gaze, and just as he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, a sudden inspiration struck him.
Yun Yao? Yun Yao!
How could he not have thought of that!
"Su Yuchen, could this Yun Yao be your little darling wife whom you've been keeping hidden away?" Mo Peichen's tone suddenly rose.
Seeing that Su Yuchen didn't speak, it meant he acquiesced.
After the initial shock, Mo Peichen was filled with horror. He finally understood why Su Yuchen's reaction upon returning was so strange. Could it be that the female demon had bewitched him?
"Su Yuchen, are you alright?" Mo Peichen asked with some concern as he approached him.
Seeing Mo Peichen's temper change faster than flipping through a book, Su Yuchen was speechless.
"Alright, let's leave the matter of Yuling Island as it is. Don't mention Yun Yao to anyone again, including her identity."
Mo Peichen was puzzled. If Yun Yao really was a demon, wouldn't Su Yuchen be in danger?
"Su Yuchen, you're not really smitten with her, are you? This is terrible! She's not human! Why did you have to fall for her of all people?"
“I know she’s not human,” Su Yuchen said, looking into Mo Peichen’s eyes.
Mo Peichen felt that the words stuck in his throat were neither up nor down.
"You...you knew she wasn't human and you still contacted her!"
Su Yuchen didn't respond to his words this time, but his heart was filled with panic...
