Ye Moxuan lost his cool and grabbed both her hands, pinning her against the stone-cold wall.
The group of employees, who were following them from behind, stared wide-eyed in shock when they saw that. They stopped dead in their tracks and lost the courage to approach them. It seems like Han Muzi is not only acquainted with our Young Master; in fact, they seem to have a rather special relationship?
This commotion was happening right in front of the employees and many people were affected, so several people stuck their heads out of their offices to check out what was happening. Their eyes bulged wide in surprise when they saw the scene before them.
“What is happening? Who is this woman? Why is Young Master…”
“Wow, they seem to have a special relationship… Is our Young Master falling for someone?”
Someone answered after a pause, “That’s impossible. How could a cold Devil fall in love? You must be joking.”
Many people were watching them and discussing in hushed tones. Ye Moxuan had pinned both of Han Muzi’s arms against the wall, putting her in a very humiliating position. Han Muzi’s cheeks flushed red and she glared at Ye Moxuan in anger. “What do you want? Does it excite you to humiliate me in front of a crowd?”
Her gaze was calm and detached, and it made Ye Moxuan realize the crowd that had gathered around them. He was so irritated by her that he lost his rationality. He scanned his surroundings sharply before bellowing at the top of his lungs, “Get lost!”
The icy-cold aura which shrouded him exploded in every direction. Employees who had their heads poked out of the offices and those who were standing in the corridor all flinched involuntarily as a result of this. They instantly vanished without another word. In the next second, the crowded corridor became incredibly quiet because everyone had disappeared.
Han Muzi was panting lightly while glaring at Ye Moxuan who was inches away from her.
“Is this fine now?” Ye Moxuan stared at her steely eyes unblinkingly. He squinted at her menacingly and continued, “You told me to take it up with your lawyer. Did you even check if your lawyer is qualified?”
Han Muzi kept quiet.
Although he instructed his employees to disappear, the scene earlier had happened anyway. She bit her lower lip and exclaimed in frustration, “Mr. Ye, if you think that my lawyer is not qualified for this, you are free to let your assistant discuss matters with my lawyer then. I’m sure that would be fine, right? I am busy, and I don’t have time to waste over here now!” With that, she struggled violently. She wanted to shake Ye Moxuan off, but her strength couldn’t match his. Instead, Ye Moxuan subdued her single-handedly and pinched her chin up with his free hand.
“Why did you come here out of the blue?”
“That’s none of your business! Let me go!” Han Muzi yelled at him in anger as she was in pain from the pinching of her cheeks.
“Did you come to check the surveillance footage?” Ye Moxuan changed the topic suddenly. Han Muzi was confused by that, and before she could respond, the hand that was gripping onto her wrist slid down and held onto her hand. After that, he walked straight into the building. He dragged her along.
Once they were gone, the employees started poking their heads out again.
Over here, Ye Moxuan was regarded as the cold Devil. As he dragged Han Muzi into the control room from earlier, the group of employees inside regarded him in fear while standing up abruptly. “Y-Young Master Ye.”
Han Muzi was planning to ignore him, but judging by his current actions, it appeared as if he was willing to show her the recordings.
In that case, would I be able to watch the footage I missed earlier? Han Muzi stopped resisting and instead, glanced at Ye Moxuan. “Can I watch the surveillance footage?”
“Why not?” Ye Moxuan asked rhetorically. What is there that my woman isn’t allowed to do? “Show me all the surveillance videos,” he instructed coldly.
The employees were stumped for a while, but they pulled out all the footage hastily.
After that, Ye Moxuan lowered his gaze to Han Muzi who was standing right beside him. His tone was surprisingly gentle. “Is there a particular time stamp you’d like to watch?”
Han Muzi was astounded, but she lowered her eyes and processed her thoughts. She then gave a time period and several locations.
“Pull those footages out now.”
“Yes, Young Master Ye!”
Soon, the videos with the specific time stamps requested by Han Muzi were displayed on the screen. Han Muzi took a couple of steps forward instinctively since she wanted to get closer to get a better view. However, there was a sudden tug on her arm after she took a few steps forward.
It turned out that Ye Moxuan was still holding her hand.
Han Muzi lowered her head and the look in her eyes changed. He is… holding onto my hand. Our fingers are intertwined. This man…
Han Muzi bit her lip while a surge of emotions overwhelmed her. Didn’t he say that he is married? Why is he always showing up in front of me? Besides, why is he always so shameless around me? What is going on in his mind? Doesn’t his wife care about him?
Ye Moxuan took a couple of steps forward, and his voice came from above. “Why are you spacing out? Didn’t you want to see this footage?”
Han Muzi snapped back to reality. Forget it. I shouldn’t care about it so much. I should just watch the surveillance recordings first. Hence, Han Muzi turned around to focus and watch the surveillance footage. She stopped considering whether Ye Moxuan was still holding onto her hand.
She was watching the surveillance recordings seriously, whereas Ye Moxuan was staring intently at her. This woman has changed so much. Right now, she is mature and charming. She might be colder than before, but she is even prettier now. Time has not left a mark on her face; in fact, her face is as wonderful as before.
“Stop!” Han Muzi cried out suddenly. “Please replay that one.”
Ye Moxuan shot his employee a steely glare. He didn’t even have to say anything for them to carry out his instructions.
Han Muzi stared at the screen, and she finally spotted the suspicious figure she saw in the previous video. “This must be the person.”
Ye Moxuan glanced at the screen upon hearing her say that. He instructed straight away without a second thought, “Send the message out to search for this person. Bring that person to me before midnight tonight.”
Han Muzi was astounded when she asked him hesitantly, “I don’t think this is any of your concern though?”
Ye Moxuan scowled at her. How could she have the audacity to say that in front of my employees? He laughed mirthlessly without replying to her. He wrapped an arm around her waist to make a point. “None of my concern, you say? You do know that not any Tom, Dick, and Harry is allowed in this room, right?”
“You brought me in here. I didn’t ask you to.” Han Muzi then took her cell phone out and took a picture of the person on the screen after announcing that. Then, she turned around to leave.
“Are you leaving just like that?” Ye Moxuan held onto her.
She paused and frowned slightly before thanking him, “Mr. Ye, thank you very much for today. I shall forgive you for your rudeness when we were outside earlier since you helped me with this matter. However, there won’t be a second time.” With that, she shook Ye Moxuan’s hand off aggressively and marched out of the room.
Initially, she thought Ye Moxuan wouldn’t come after her. However, when she got outside, she realized with a start that Ye Moxuan had been following her all along.
“Stop following me.”
“I don’t agree to terminate our contract.”
