Chapter 630 A Hidden Message

"This matter concerns not only you but me too. We are in this together, so I must investigate it," Ziyue replied insistently.

She resolved to investigate Gricy. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Muchen sighed softly and said, "You're tired. You should rest."

He did not argue with Ziyue but left right after saying that.

Ziyue watched him leave before leaving the bathroom to put on her clothes. Her phone suddenly beeped with a notification.

She unlocked the screen and found a new notification. She tapped on it without thinking and realized it was a notification for a new email.

Moreover, it was a personal email address she rarely used.

Ziyue frowned as she pondered. She could not figure out who could have sent it.

She did not bother to blow dry her hair but put down her phone and turned on her computer to check the new email.

She had not logged into that email for a long time, so she needed to enter an authentication code. Thus, she had no choice but to grab her phone again.

After logging in, she saw a new email but could not see who had sent it. It was probably sent through some software to conceal the sender's information.

Ziyue was puzzled by the secretiveness of the sender.

She clicked on the email and widened her eyes when she saw its content, but she soon narrowed her eyes again.

It was a short email, but the words it contained carried severe repercussions.

'I forgot to tell you. Gu Hanyan is a member of Gricy. You must beware of her.'

The sentence style was undeniably Shichu's.

Ziyue had wondered about this previously. Still, she could not help but be shocked to receive confirmation that Hanyan belonged to Gricy.

It seemed people close to her and those who bore a grudge against her were all involved with Gricy.

The realization sent a chill down her spine.

She clenched her fists and forced herself to calm down.

Hanyan must have had the help of someone powerful to escape Mogwin Castle successfully. There's no other way.

Although she became a famous international film star two years ago, an actress can't have that much authority.

Once she offended the Mogwin family, her future was doomed.

Still, she refused to accept it and had no choice but to seek help. There were few people powerful enough to rescue her from Mogwin Castle.

While Gricy is a criminal organization and has done many evil things, one cannot deny that it has endless wealth and influence. Those are what everyone hungers for.

Hanyan must have considered this carefully. She likely did not care that she would be involved with a shady organization as long as she could enjoy endless wealth and prominence.

But what did Hanyan have that made Gricy willing to help her?

Ziyue could not figure it out. She pushed the thought away and planned to shut down the computer.

However, she glanced at the screen and discovered the email was gone.

How did it disappear?

Ziyue searched through the inbox but could not find it.

Shichu sent her that email to warn her about Hanyan. However, he was worried that someone would use the email against him, so he not only sent it anonymously but added a mechanism to automatically delete it sometime after Ziyue opened it, leaving no trace.

Whenever Shichu decided to be cautious, he would leave nothing behind.

But Ziyue could not help but wonder why she could track his IP address from the email he had sent previously.

Was it to create a misunderstanding between Muchen and me, or did he feel sudden remorse?

However, it was all in the past, so Ziyue decided not to ask him about it.

The matter was long over. It did not mean anything to her anymore.

…

Shichu turned off the computer and headed out. He walked along the corridor and stopped before the window at the end.

The window had a view of the villa's back door.

He used to stand there and wait for ages for Ziyue to come over daily.

Today, he happened to be standing here when Ziyue visited.

He thought he would be disappointed as usual and did not expect Ziyue to appear in his sight suddenly.

He recalled holding her when she was a baby and watching her grow.

Today would likely be the last time she came to him.

Therefore, he chose to return to the room and did not go down to welcome her.

He had told her everything he knew. That was the last thing he could do to help her.

"What's so nice about this view? You always stand here whenever I come by."

A female voice sounded nonchalantly behind him. It was sultry and charming to anyone who heard.

However, Shichu did not hesitate to turn around and leave for the attic.

"I'm talking to you. Why are you ignoring me?" The woman was indignant and stepped forward to block his way.

Shichu's eyes flashed with impatience. "Ms. Gu, I believe the higher-ups did not tell you to utter this much nonsense when they gave you their order."

The woman was none other than Hanyan.

Her expression turned cold when she heard Shichu. "The organization ordered you to return to K7 Pharmaceutical Team. You have not completed your orders, so don't even think of leaving the organization soon."

After hearing her, Shichu walked past her and headed to the attic. He behaved like even the sight of her disgusted him.

Hanyan's expression darkened at being ignored. She could not help but raise her voice and chase after him. "Did you hear what I said?"

Still, Shichu quickened his steps and replied coldly, "We have worked together for so long. Can't you tell that I can hear perfectly fine?"

"You…" Shichu's insult left Hanyan too furious to speak.

However, she refused to let it slide and was determined to strike back at his weakness.

Hanyan narrowed her eyes and sneered before saying deliberately, "Don't be so proud of yourself. I've helped you so much, but you can't win Ziyue's heart. What use is a man like you?"

The word 'Ziyue' was like a paralyzing curse that forced Shichu to stand still.

Hanyan's eyes gleamed with delight, thinking that her insult worked.

However, Shichu turned around a second later and looked at her murderously. "Gu Hanyan. Do you think the organization will do anything to me if I murder you now?"

His tone was stern. It sounded like he was genuinely asking her a question yet threatening her simultaneously.

Hanyan's face blanched. She knew Shichu's words were not a mere threat. He truly wanted to kill her.

Is it because of Ziyue?

Why does he risk disobeying the organization's order and threatening to kill me over a girl who loves someone else?
