Munni rolled her eyes and stopped paying attention to Yisen’s antics. She turned the doorknob, quickly slipped into the room, and swiftly closed the door.
Her cautious expression, fearing someone might break in, left Yisen amused.
He stared at the tightly closed door, a faint smile on his face, and did not linger longer. He turned around and went home.
After returning home, Munni took a bath in the bathroom. As she came out, her phone on the bed was ringing.
She bent over and picked up the phone. The screen displayed Yuan Chengmo’s name and photo, and she hastily reached out to swipe the screen and answer the call.
"Hey, Munni, have you finished work?"
"Yes, done for the day, planning to go to sleep soon."
Yuan Chengmo paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you remember last time we went to River Village to investigate the anonymous person sending you messages?"
"Yes, I remember." Munni nodded, feeling a bit anxious because of Yuan Chengmo suddenly bringing up this topic. "Is there any new information?"
The event she thought had no leads suddenly had new information, which made Munni pleasantly surprised. "What is it?"
"One of my friends coincidentally has a subordinate from River Village. After asking the subordinate to investigate, we found out that the household is indeed as the neighbors say. Their surname is Chen. Mr. Chen had a car accident early in life and died unexpectedly, leaving behind Mrs. Chen and their six-year-old daughter.
Half a year after Mr. Chen’s death, Mrs. Chen married a man with the surname Xia, whom she had known for many years, and moved to G City.
After they got married, Mrs. Chen changed her daughter’s surname to follow her stepfather’s, from Chen Yuge to Xia Yuge."
The news was so shocking that Munni couldn’t help but part her lips slightly in surprise, taking a moment to react.
Indeed, the ones who could constantly capture photos of Xia Yuge with Yisen must be either Xia Yuge herself or the people around her.
Xia Yuge’s purpose in doing this might be to break up Munni and Yisen so that she could take the position of Yisen’s wife after their divorce.
Even with Yuan Chengmo’s confirmation and understanding of Xia Yuge’s motive,
Munni somehow still didn’t believe the anonymous person was Xia Yuge.
Not because she thought Xia Yuge wouldn’t be so cruel to her, but simply because... she didn’t believe Xia Yuge had that kind of capability.
After pondering for a few seconds, Munni spoke confidently, "Although Xia Yuge has a bit of scheming, she’s not the anonymous person playing hide and seek with you."
Yuan Chengmo thought for a moment and speculated, "Maybe she spent money to hire someone to do this?"
"But even if she spent money to hire someone, she wouldn’t be stupid enough to let her hometown’s IP address be traced by us."
Munni had a valid point; Xia Yuge wouldn’t be foolish to such an extent.
Yuan Chengmo hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I’ll help you look into it further."
"Alright, thank you, Senior. By the way, how’s the blind date going?"
"It’s boring. I’d rather go feasting with my junior sister."
"You’re not that young anymore; it’s about time you settle down."
Her sudden serious tone made Yuan Chengmo chuckle, and he teased, "That sounds just like my mom. You’re not old yet, but you’re starting to nag."
"I’m serious too. Alright, go get some rest. I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll contact you when I have news." Read full story at n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
"Okay, thank you, Senior. Have a good rest, goodnight."
