"Not bad, not bad, it seems your level of understanding has improved, you've made progress compared to before!"

Liu Ying was slightly taken aback, but her expression returned to calm. With a giggle, she said, "Since you think that way, I don't have to worry anymore! I hope you can get along harmoniously with Miaochan. If I find out you're bullying her, I won't just stand by."

To this, Lin Tong just gave a faint smile without saying much, and changed the topic, "It's almost lunch time. You guys chat for a while, I'll go call someone to arrange lunch."

As soon as she finished speaking, she gracefully walked out of the room, leaving Liu Ying and the other three women chatting on the sofa in the suite's living room.

Ring ring ring!

The women hadn't been chatting for long before a phone rang, coming from Wei Xiaosu's jacket pocket.

She took out the cellphone and saw it was a call from Captain Sun. Wei Xiaosu made a gesture to silence the phone before answering, "Captain Sun, do you have any information?"

"Reporting to the officer, after a search, we found the missing target vehicle in the mountains, right at the foot of Changlong Mountain! However, there's no trace of the car owner. Officer, should we proceed to the next step of the search?" Captain Sun's loud voice came through the phone.

"No need, just keep an eye on the car and find a place to eat. Wait for my next instructions." Wei Xiaosu ordered.

"Yes, officer!"

Captain Sun finished reporting and then hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, Wei Xiaosu turned to the other three women and said, "Just got word, Ye Xuan's car has been found, it's at the foot of a mountain nearby."

"From what you're saying, he didn't drive away and is still in the mountain?" Liu Ying analyzed.

"Yes, that's likely the case!"

Wei Xiaosu nodded, "Brother Xuan went into the mountain to collect herbs, he might not have come out yet! I'll lead a team into the mountain this afternoon to search, see if we can find him."

"We want to go take a look too, after all, Ye Xuan must be in the mountain. We few might as well go in for a tour." Liu Ying said.

"You can go, but you can't just enter the mountain like that, because it's undeveloped and there's a significant risk! Unpredictable dangers could occur at any time, even life-threatening ones! So, you'd better stay outside the mountain, we'll handle the going in."

Wei Xiaosu thought for a moment and said.

"No problem, then we won't go in, it saves us from the danger and dragging you all down." Liu Ying agreed promptly.

Then, she looked at Murong Wanwan and Lu Miaochan, asking, "What about you two?"

"Then...we won't go in either!"

The two women nodded in understanding.

"Okay, don't worry, Brother Xuan has great abilities, he definitely won't get into trouble in the mountain! No need to worry!" Wei Xiaosu reassured.

"Hmph, who cares about him? That guy is such a playboy, he might even be hanging out with a pretty village girl in the mountains right now!"

Liu Ying pouted and snorted, then her eyes twinkled with interest as she plopped down next to Wei Xiaosu with a big smile, "Susu, enough about that annoying guy, let's talk about you! Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Ah? I...I don't..."

Wei Xiaosu was slightly stunned, shyly lowering her head, "I don't have one."

"Really don't have one?" Liu Ying skeptically looked at her.

"I really don't!"

"Then what's your relationship with Ye Xuan?"

"I...I'm his sister."

"Sister? Just a sister?"

"Really..."

"I don't believe it! But I think it's not that simple between you two, there must be some special relationship that's not known! Fess up!" Liu Ying eyed her up and down confidently.

Ah?

Stared at by Liu Ying, Wei Xiaosu showed a slightly unnatural expression.

However, she quickly realized the situation and suppressed that unnatural emotion, shaking her head to deny, "No, Sister Liu Ying, don't guess randomly, there's nothing special between Brother Xuan and me. We're clean."

"Hehe, you say there's nothing, but you've already given yourself away!" Liu Ying said with a smile, intelligence flashing in her eyes.

"What do you mean gave myself away... Ah! Sister Liu Ying, you're so bad, trying to bait me into it, I'm not playing with you anymore!"

Wei Xiaosu instantly realized, lightly spat, stamped her foot and turned away, pretending to be angry and ignoring him.

However, her cheeks were indeed flushed, full of shyness!

Keke...

Seeing this scene, Liu Ying covered her mouth, laughing softly, making Wei Xiaosu feel even more embarrassed.

Murong Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stood up, holding Lu Miaochan's hand and going into the room, gently closing the door.

"Wanwan, what are you doing?" Lu Miaochan asked, not understanding.

"Sister Miaochan, there's something I want to say to you." Murong Wanwan bit her lip, looking earnest.

"Wanwan, what do you want to talk about?" Lu Miaochan asked curiously.

"I'm sorry, Sister Miaochan, I've lied to you before!" Murong Wanwan lowered her head, full of guilt.

"Lied to me? What do you mean, why would you say that?"

Lu Miaochan asked, puzzled.

"Sister Miaochan, actually... I've known Brother Ye Xuan for a long time now! And our relationship is not purely friendship. Um... I'm basically half his woman, but I haven't told you any of this."

Murong Wanwan revealed the truth she had been hiding: "Of course, our feelings weren't there from the beginning. When we met, it was only unrequited love from my side, he didn't accept me. Because of this, I wanted to gain his recognition as soon as possible, so I intentionally got close to you, hoping it would give me more opportunities to be with him! I don't care if he has other women, as long as I can be with him and hold a place in his heart, even if it means being a little lover, I'm already very satisfied!"

After Murong Wanwan finished speaking, she felt a sense of relief in her heart.

These words had been bottled up inside her for a long time, and finally saying them and facing the situation openly provided some comfort to her heart.

However, after finishing, she waited a while without seeing any reaction from Lu Miaochan, so Murong Wanwan curiously looked up.

She was met with Lu Miaochan's vacant stare, her mouth slightly agape, as if someone had cast a Transformation Technique on her, utterly stunned by what she just heard.

Murong Wanwan suddenly panicked, "Sister Miaochan, don't be mad at me, even though I got close to you because of Brother Ye Xuan, I didn't have any ill intentions, please believe me!"

"Also, I didn't intend to ruin your feelings with Brother Ye Xuan, I just wanted some affection from him! I know that's a selfish wish, but I can't help it because I really like him too much! I... I have no other motives..."
