When Shi Mo heard what his assistant had reported, his expression darkened.
He asked coldly, “Which direction did they go?”
Mu Ye had returned, yet he had not received any news about it. It seemed like he had returned secretly.
He had immediately come to look for Fang Mo’er the moment he had returned. Fang Mo’er was usually not someone who would act rashly, but now, she had gone with him. There must be some reason behind it.
“Strange, but Madam has turned on her GPS. President Shi, should we follow and check it out?” As expected of the assistant who had followed Shi Mo for so long, he knew what his President wanted the most.
Without waiting for him to ask, he immediately sent the information about Fang Mo’er’s location to Shi Mo.
Go over? He thought about what Fang Mo’er had said before she left.
Shi Mo lowered his head and looked at the shoulder that had been bitten. His gaze was heavy and his body seemed to be surrounded by a thick chill.
The business circle of the imperial capital was always bustling with activity. There was always a steady flow of cars and people on the road.
At this moment, an ordinary black car was perfectly hidden in the traffic. The cars in front were either fast or slow.
This kind of simple car was everywhere on the streets and would not attract anyone’s attention.
Fang Mo’er and Mu Ye sat in the back seat of the car. Looking at the narrow interior of the car, she joked, “I didn’t expect President Mu to be so low-key.”
Mu Ye smiled and replied, “If I were to look for you too conspicuously, I would definitely be noticed by others before I could even pick you up. This way, it would be normal. We can have a quiet gathering together, right?”
“President Mu, why are you looking for me? How did you know about Xue Ni?”
Mu Ye’s words always made her feel a little strange. Fang Mo’er did not want to make idle chit-chat with him anymore and got straight to the point.
Mu Ye said mysteriously, “Miss Fang, what’s the rush? Wouldn’t it be better if we had a good talk while we’re eating?”
Seeing that Mu Ye had no intention of saying anything for the time being, Fang Mo’er stopped asking and quietly turned her head to look out of the car window.
The greenery on both sides of the road had been designed and maintained very well. It was lush and there were also large patches of various flowers. Looking at them, Fang Mo’er felt a lot better.
Seeing that Fang Mo’er had tilted her head and did not want to speak anymore, Mu Ye did not speak anymore either. Instead, he quietly kept his eyes on Fang Mo’er.
The restaurant was not far away and was only a twenty-minute drive away.
Fang Mo’er followed Mu Ye into the restaurant and looked around. The people walking around were all socialites or rich young masters in branded clothes. Even the waiters were dressed in extraordinary clothes. This was as expected of a place where rich people patronized.
The restaurant’s decor was elegant and it was done in a Chinese style. Every table was covered by an embroidered screen, making it look like a private room. It was both elegant and private.
Mu Ye led Fang Mo’er to a table by the window. She could see the scenery outside and could also see the interior of the restaurant through the screen. It made Fang Mo’er feel much more comfortable.
The dishes had been ordered long ago. As soon as they sat down, the waiters served up the dishes. They were all exquisite Chinese dishes.
“Try them. These are all the signature dishes of this restaurant. I believe you like Chinese food the most.” Mu Ye passed a pair of chopsticks to Fang Mo’er and invited her to try the food.
Fang Mo’er took the chopsticks but did not eat them. Instead, she looked at Mu Ye and asked, “President Mu, can you tell me what this is about now?”
Mu Ye said unhurriedly, “What’s the rush? Miss Fang, Try these dishes first. They took three hours to prepare.”
Fang Mo’er frowned. What was Mu Ye up to?
If it was not for their business relationship, Fang Mo’er would have told him off for being crazy. However, she had no choice. After all, he was her benefactor.
Fang Mo’er could only suppress her temper and said, “If it’s alright with President Mu, I’ll be taking my leave then.”
Mu Ye used his chopsticks to place some food on the plate in front of Fang Mo’er. He then said slowly, “Miss Fang, you’ve changed a lot recently. In the past, you weren’t so anxious. Is it because you were kidnapped by Xue Ni?”
“How did you know about this?” Fang Mo’er was puzzled. Could it be that Xue Ni and Mu Ye were in cahoots, or was he spying on her?
After thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be no reason for him to do so. Mu Ye was a businessman, and it would not benefit him. There could only be one reason, and that was that he had been bribed by Xue Ni.
Mu Ye covered his forehead before crossing his arms as he looked at Fang Mo’er. His tone was no longer as relaxed as before. Instead, he said in a serious tone, “Shi Mo still doesn’t know that you were kidnapped by Xue Ni, right?”
Fang Mo’er lowered her gaze and did not reply. Things had happened too quickly and due to certain reasons that she could not resist, she did not intend on telling Shi Mo about it.
Seeing Fang Mo’er’s expression, Mu Ye realized that she really did not know.
He continued, “I’m not spying on you. My people just happened to find out by accident. The fact is, your husband, Shi Mo doesn’t even know about this. It seems like he doesn’t have the ability to protect you. Or is it because he does not want to fall out with Xue Ni by protecting you?”
