Normally, Mu Xiaoyu wouldn't have been interested in listening to Xu Sulin reveal his feelings, but this time she had plenty of patience.
No matter what, they were rivals in love. Xu Sulin had always wanted to get rid of her, and now he was suddenly offering to "help" her. If it were Mu Xiaoyu herself, she probably wouldn't have been able to accept it so easily.
Therefore, Mu Xiaoyu was unusually patient at this moment, and no matter what Xu Sulin said, she always had a smiling face.
"Mu Xiaoyu! Aren't you feeling smug right now?!"
"how come."
Mu Xiaoyu immediately denied it. Although she wasn't exactly smug, seeing Xu Sulin like this still made her somewhat happy. However, she certainly couldn't say this in front of Xu Sulin; if she did, given his temper, who knows how angry he would get.
Fortunately, Xu Sulin was able to distinguish between what was urgent and what was not. Even though she was a little angry, she held back.
She took a deep breath, stopped talking about her feelings for Li Chenxu, and began to talk about Mu Pengzheng: "After Mu Pengzheng left the prison, he immediately went abroad. Although it is difficult for people abroad to track down Mu Pengzheng, he is not completely out of the loop."
"Wait, when did you first find out that Mu Pengzheng had escaped from prison?"
At this moment, Mu Xiaoyu suddenly remembered what Bai Ye had told her before. Originally, they all thought that Mu Pengzheng left the prison during the fire, but later events proved that Mu Pengzheng had already left the prison before the fire.
So now Mu Xiaoyu wants to confirm whether the Mu Pengzheng that Xu Sulin mentioned is the real Mu Pengzheng.
Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's question, Xu Sulin paused, looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a knowing expression, and continued, "Don't worry, the person I'm talking about is the real Mu Pengzheng, not the fake Mu Pengzheng from that fire."
Upon hearing Xu Sulin's words, Mu Xiaoyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
They don't have many clues right now. It's clear that what Xu Sulin has is the most wanted and perhaps the most useful clue they have so far. She's worried that the Mu Pengzheng that Xu Sulin mentioned is a fake Mu Pengzheng, and then everything might really be in vain.
Xu Sulin still disliked Mu Xiaoyu and didn't want to waste any more time talking to her. After explaining, he continued, "After Mu Pengzheng went abroad, he started associating with people overseas. It seems that Mu Pengzheng and those people had been in contact for a long time. They were very secretive. My people lost track of Mu Pengzheng when he left the country. Until a few months ago..."
Xu Sulin's men monitored Mu Pengzheng for so long but found nothing that could harm Mu Xiaoyu. By then, the trail to Mu Pengzheng had gone cold, so Xu Sulin had already decided to give up on Mu Pengzheng.
However, one unexpected thing after another happened to Mu Xiaoyu, and all of these things pointed directly at Mu Pengzheng, so Xu Sulin ordered people to continue investigating Mu Pengzheng.
Sure enough, a few months ago, when checking the entry and exit records, Mu Pengzheng's name was among them. Mu Pengzheng had already returned to China about three months ago.
Moreover, it seemed that Mu Pengzheng always knew that Xu Sulin was investigating and following him. After returning to China, he kept leaking his whereabouts, but no matter how much he leaked, Xu Sulin was unable to find Mu Pengzheng's exact location.
"So everything you know now was deliberately leaked to you by Mu Pengzheng?"
Mu Xiaoyu felt that something was wrong. As Mu Pengzheng's biological daughter, Mu Xiaoyu knew Mu Pengzheng's cautious and cunning nature all too well, but for Mu Pengzheng to deliberately leak information to Xu Sulin was too out of character for him.
Upon hearing this, Xu Sulin frowned, as if she had thought of something. Her face suddenly darkened, and she stared intently at Xu Sulin, saying, "Are you doubting that I'm lying?"
"Don't be so alarmed. I'm just wondering why Mu Pengzheng would do this, not that I suspect you."
Xu Sulin snorted coldly upon hearing this and said in a cold voice, "What else could it be? We are rivals in love. I hate you to the bone and have been planning something to hurt you. Mu Peng knows this and naturally wants to team up with me to deal with you."
"But he never contacted you, did he? Since you have no connection whatsoever, how can you talk about being partners?"
What Xu Sulin could think of, Mu Xiaoyu certainly couldn't have imagined. Now they knew some of the clues Xu Sulin had given them, but all of this had been deliberately leaked by Mu Pengzheng, which made the situation seem even stranger.
Xu Sulin seemed to understand the meaning behind Mu Xiaoyu's words and fell silent.
"Did Mu Peng deliberately leak the information to you? Did he leave any way to contact him?"
After a long silence between them, Mu Xiaoyu finally spoke. Their most important task right now was to find Mu Pengzheng. What Xu Sulin had said earlier was indeed helpful, but it was far from enough for them at this point.
Xu Sulin did not answer immediately upon hearing this, seemingly pondering Mu Xiaoyu's question.
"It seems not. You should know that Mu Pengzheng is a very cautious person. He would not usually leave his contact information unless necessary. Actually, we can do this: pretend that I am still dealing with you, and then let Mu Pengzheng contact me. Then we will know Mu Pengzheng's whereabouts."
After Xu Sulin finished speaking, Mu Xiaoyu remained silent, and her gaze towards Xu Sulin became somewhat strange.
Xu Sulin felt uncomfortable under Mu Xiaoyu's gaze and couldn't help but mutter, "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"
"No, you're not wrong. I just find it strange. Logically speaking, if you hate me to the core, you shouldn't be the one to say such things."
As soon as Mu Xiaoyu said that, Xu Sulin instantly understood what she meant.
Xu Sulin's face immediately turned ugly. She gritted her teeth and looked at Mu Xiaoyu, saying with a gloomy expression, "Mu Xiaoyu, don't forget, everything I'm doing now isn't for you, but for Brother Shenxu. Once Mu Pengzheng's matter is resolved and Brother Shenxu is no longer in danger, I'll settle the score between us slowly. This isn't over between us!"
