"What? Someone was following me before you?"
Before I could even lay a hand on them, those two had already confessed. They are from the Chi family.
Du Hengyan's tone was calm, as if he were discussing something trivial.
Upon hearing this, Chi Mujiu immediately thought of Chi Qiyun. It must be her! No wonder she knew so much about my affairs abroad! I thought I could temporarily escape from that mother-daughter duo by going overseas, but it seems I was too naive back then.
"However, I wouldn’t call it stalking; I’d say it was covert protection," Du Hengyan continued to tease.
"Such a smooth talker! So those extra invitations to the auction, and the encounters with Zhu Chen and Ye Jue, including the contract worth billions, were all your doing?"
Chi Mujiu's eyes were filled with curiosity; she desperately wanted to know the answers.
Du Hengyan nodded slightly and continued, "Well, sort of. But it’s not entirely my doing; after all, they organized the auction themselves. I merely suggested that Ye Jue include an additional item."
Chi Mujiu was taken aback; the amount of information was overwhelming, leaving her a bit dazed once again.
"So the rumors circulating in the business circles are true! The mysterious big shot behind the Ye family is you?!"
Chi Mujiu exclaimed in surprise.
So that’s how it is! No wonder when she mentioned the Ye family in front of Du Hengyan earlier, his reaction had been so intense and he had sulked. It made sense now—she had praised his subordinates for being wealthy and influential right in his ear; it was no wonder he got upset.
Well, it seems Du Hengyan indeed has a good temper towards her.
But speaking of which, such a big shot willingly took care of her at home for several months?
Du Hengyan affectionately ruffled her hair. "What are you thinking about now?"
"But it's not just the Ye family; all the so-called top figures in every district are working for me."
Chi Mujiu felt her mind racing as she absorbed the explosive information Du Hengyan was providing. Ever since meeting him, everything had started to go smoothly—not without reason; it was all Du Hengyan pulling strings behind the scenes to help her quickly obtain what she desired.
"I planned to tell you everything when I returned home this time, but you secretly came here without telling me and even with another man—"
"Wait! That’s unfair! It’s truly unfair! If I had known you were this capable, I wouldn’t have gotten caught by Pei Si!"
She mumbled in a small voice, feeling wronged.
"Did he threaten you?"
"Yes, and what's even more absurd is that he used you to threaten me."
Du Hengyan's eyes flashed with a hint of danger.
"Don't worry, sweetheart. Soon you'll get to experience what it's like to threaten him."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Chi Mu Jiu was somewhat puzzled by this statement. Wasn't the person already under his control? Where did the idea of a threat come from?
Du Hengyan merely smiled mysteriously.
"So, Du Hengyan, how do you know it's mine?"
Chi Mu Jiu truly didn't think she could be recognized so easily, even with a full face mask on.
"Phone location. Did you forget?"
"What?!"
She couldn't believe she had forgotten about that!
Back then, she had been the one clinging to him, reluctant to let him go. To ease her worries, Du Hengyan had installed a location system on both their phones.
"Alright, now that we've cleared things up, let's get out of the car and I'll show you my world here. I think you'll really like it."
"Why are you so sure?"
Someone feigned nonchalance.
"Because I like you."
