When Cheng Che saw the news on his phone, he was stunned. Due to his perceptiveness brought about by his profession, he could sense that something was amiss. Hence, he called Mu Chen immediately.

“Brother, Vice Mayor Fu’s daughter was involved in a car accident. Moreover, I heard that a piece of scandalous news is about to be leaked…”

Mu Chen frowned. “Scandalous news? Where’s Ye Cheng?”

“Ye Cheng isn’t in the city. I heard he went to N City for a business trip two days ago. Miss Fu and Ye Cheng have already publicly disclosed their relationship so Vice Mayor Fu attaches great importance to Ye Cheng. He’s also doing very well in the Public Security Bureau. It’s unfortunate that he’s absent when such a thing happened…”

Mu Chen said in a deep voice, “Miss Fu isn’t a simple person; she’s not easy to get along with. Ye Cheng looks gentle and amicable on the surface, but deep down, he’s vicious. If Miss Fu is having an affair, do you think Ye Cheng would be unaware of it? Since he’s aware of it, do you think he’d be able to endure it? He might not like Miss Fu, but he definitely likes Vice Mayor Fu’s power…”

Cheng Che nodded. “I think him being in N City is also just a cover-up. However, I just don’t know what he’s up to…”

“It doesn’t matter. Get someone to keep an eye on him. He won’t choose to go to N City randomly even if it’s just a cover-up. He must have dealings there as well. Investigate this matter.”

“Okay. I’ll also inspect our company in city N. I’ll use this as an excuse as well to bring people to sister-in-law’s maternal grandmother’s house to have a look…” Cheng Che said.

Mu Chen’s heart ached when he heard these words. Originally, he and Song Ning had planned to return to her maternal grandmother’s house after she graduated. The old house was still standing. He was going to bring Song Ning and their child back this summer. However, life had always been unpredictable. He never expected such a strange thing would happen to them. Sadness surged in his heart as he thought to himself, ‘Song Ning, will you be there at the old house?’

…

When Mu Chen went downstairs, he happened to see that impostor’s back as she left the house. He subconsciously looked at the time; it was already seven in the evening.

When he entered his grandmother’s room, the baby was still not asleep. He was playing with their newly selected helper, A Nuan, as his grandmother and Sister watched happily.

Jiang Jin gestured for him to take a seat next to her before she pointed at A Nuan. “She’s chosen by Yu. She’s really good with the baby. I don’t know what they’re babbling about, but both of them are really happy…”

A Nuan seemed a little afraid of Mu Chen when she saw him.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Jin quickly said, “Don’t be afraid. The Young Master just looks scary because of his cold expression. Look after the Little Master well, and the Young Master will give you a huge red packet during the new year!”

Upon hearing this, A Nuan smiled and bowed. Then, she turned to play with the baby again.

Sister Yu said with a smile, “Since she’s already bowed, Young Master, you can’t be stingy with her red packet.”

Mu Chen could not help but smile at Sister Yu’s words.

Sister Yu sighed before she said in a soft voice, “This child’s father is a distant relative of mine. He lives in a very remote village in N City. The conditions there are very bad. The girls there aren’t given proper education. Apart from getting married at a young age, there aren’t many options for them to choose from. However, her father is very determined. He worked hard outside the village for many years. When he saw the girls outside the village living better lives, he wanted to bring his daughter away… However, before she graduated from junior high school, he was seriously injured at the construction site. Before he died, he asked someone to look for me and requested for me to bring her out of the village.. Since I’m childless and she was really pitiful, I brought her home.”
