The mysterious man in the car suddenly spoke out to ask his men to stand down .
The man in the black suit nodded to the thugs, and they then stood aside quietly .
“I don't have the mood to play your little guessing game . I suppose you guys have been onto me for quite some time . What do you want?” said Xi Xiaye coldly as she looked at the man in the car .
The man in the car chuckled . “Miss Xi, you're really brave . I thought you'd go speechless in fear . It seems that Mu Yuchen has good taste . That's right . My people have been following you for a while . In fact, we've been watching you ever since you parted with Mu Yuchen at the entrance . ”
“Why? I don't remember there being any conflict between us . Why are you blocking my way?” Xi Xiaye demanded, “Moreover, you haven't told me who you are!”
She was alarmed . This man must know Mu Yuchen since he mentioned his name .
“You can call me Mr . Wen . We've been keeping an eye on you since a long time ago, Miss Xi! I'm surprised to find out that you are the woman who married Mu Yuchen . Would you believe me if I say I wanted to see just how special you are?” the man replied calmly .
Mr . Wen?
Mr . Wen who?
Xi Xiaye was sure that she did not know anyone called Mr . Wen, or anyone with the surname Wen either .
“I don't know you! If you just wanted to see me, can I leave now?” Xi Xiaye stared at him as she asked coldly .
The man flipped a page as his deep voice reached her once again . “Don't worry, Miss Xi . We'll let you leave safely . However, I'd like you to pass a few words to Mu Yuchen for me . I believe you're definitely willing to do so!”
“I don't know you, so why should I help you . Do you have any conflict with Mu Yuchen?” Xi Xiaye made a bold assumption .
This man probably had some issues with her husband!
“You're smart, but not very bright . Don't you think Mu Yuchen would be worried sick if we trapped you here all night long? Of course, we know that you're a director of Glory World . It's been a long time since I've wanted to meet you, and today was a really good opportunity . I think you wouldn't want anything to happen to you so that you can head back earlier, don't you?”
The man put on a wry smile while his sharp eyes behind the pair of sunglasses stared right into Xi Xiaye's eyes . He seemed to be satisfied with her reaction .
“Just what happened between you two for you to do this?”
“There are many people holding grudges against him . If he continues to do things his way and ignores everyone's advice, it won't just be stopping you somewhere the next time . He doesn't control the whole of City Z alone . People will eventually come to him sooner or later . If he wants to play a game of chess, he'll need his pieces to obey him willingly . What do you think, Miss Xi?”
Xi Xiaye was startled by his words . She stared at him with her icy-cold gaze for some time . “So, you're saying that the accident in City B and the snake that appeared at the hotel was your doing? Are you working for Qi Qiming?” Her tone was cold as she stared right at the man .
The man chortled again . “I told you . You can call me Mr . Wen . As for who I am, you'll find out soon . I'm only here today to take a look at you, Miss Xi . ”
The man suddenly paused and closed the newspaper in his hand as he glanced at her quietly . He then smiled . “Miss Xi, regarding the incident with Yueying, you guys won flawlessly . However, your luck ends here . It's payback time . ”
The man laughed before Xi Xiaye could reply . The car in front took a turn and swiftly drove past her, retreating . The other guys quickly got into their car and left as well .
She was left alone in the cold and empty tunnel .
Xi Xiaye was still holding onto the baseball bat, her body trembling slightly as she realized that a layer of cold sweat was covering her back . She quickly turned her head around and watched the cars drive away . Soon, they all vanished into the night .
He had not answered her question at all!
He seemed to hold a huge grudge against Mu Yuchen based on his tone of voice . Was he behind the accident in City B and the hotel? He did not answer her .
Did they make such intricate plans to follow her to just leave a few words for Mu Yuchen?
Was that person working for Qi Qiming?
Countless questions hovered in Xi Xiaye's mind . After some time, she came back to her senses . She suppressed her curiosity at that moment and got into her car .
She drove out of the tunnel and went straight into the city . When she arrived, her phone started ringing, and the man's anxious voice reached her ears . “Xiaye? Why couldn't I get to your phone just now?”
“The signal might've been weird inside the tunnel . Come out now . I'm already downstairs . ” Xi Xiaye hung up on the call after a brief reply .
Soon, Mu Yuchen appeared at the entrance . He entered the car swiftly when he saw her parked by the side .
Xi Xiaye did not say anything and focused on driving . However, she seemed to be in deep thought, and she had no idea that Mu Yuchen had called out to her multiple times .
“Do you know someone called Mr . Wen?” Xi Xiaye finally asked as she drove into the Grand Waves Villa area .
“Mr . Wen?” Mu Yuchen glanced at Xi Xiaye in confusion . “Who is Mr . Wen?”
He gave it some thought, unable to remember anyone with the surname Wen .
“What's wrong? You seem to be lost in your thoughts the whole way back . Did something happen?” He looked at her with concern .
Xi Xiaye took a deep breath and shook her head . “Nothing, I'm just curious . I spoke a lot with Ah Shi . She told me something about Aunty . It's been so many years that she's been suffering . ”
