Chapter 678 Covering for Loved Ones

Yunan remained expressionless when Ziyue explained. Then, he frowned and tapped his knuckle on the table. "Why do you look like you don't trust the authority?"
Yunan remained expressionless when Ziyue explained. Then, he frowned and tapped his knuckle on the table. "Why do you look like you don't trust the authority?"

Although Ziyue was also reluctant to meet him previously, she would never guard her expression such as to appear emotionless.

Yunan was still puzzled about something. Every woman would try to seduce him to climb the social ladder if they knew his identity. Even if they did not have such an intention, they would still be friendly to get on his good side.

On the other hand, Ziyue seemed to dislike him.

"I do trust the authority. Otherwise, I wouldn't have decided to meet you."

"Is that so?"

Ziyue was puzzled by his question. She pursed her lips and wondered why he said so many pointless things today.

Seeing Ziyue's slight annoyance, he arched his eyebrows and nodded, "That's good."

"Enyang has a sister called Lin Enxue. He cared about her very much. However, Enyang is sly and skilled at scheming. He caused the Gong family to go bankrupt and played a huge role in how Su Group eventually fell to my hand."

Ziyue had lived alongside Enyang for two years. No one knew how lost and betrayed she felt when Muchen exposed everything.

She thought Enyang was her savior and family. In reality, he was a ravenous wolf and had no blood relation with her.

Yunan widened his eyes. He did not expect there was so much more beneath the surface.

Suppose he were to gather relevant information and investigate one by one. Who knew how long it would take?

Moreover, Gricy would have wiped out all traces while his team was still investigating. That would plunge them into an endless and fruitless cycle.

Ziyue told him everything she knew about Enyang and provided many details.

Yunan listened earnestly. Then, he pondered briefly before asking, "What do you know about K7 Pharmaceutical Team?"

K7 Pharmaceutical Team recruited many of the world's top medical talents. It had the most advanced medical facilities. Besides investigating human trafficking, Yunan was tasked with finding out about K7 Pharmaceutical Team.

It was an invaluable team connected to every breakthrough in the medical field. Their achievements could contribute tremendously to the nation and society.

Yunan had always succeeded in his missions from the moment he joined the team.

He rose through the ranks quickly, not due to his connection to the Bai family but due to his military experience and hard work. He was strict with himself.

Although the higher-up did not give a concrete order to subdue K7 Pharmaceutical Team, Yunan was confident he could do it.

Ziyue raised the glass to take a sip of water, but Yunan's question caused her hand to pause briefly. She casually replied, "They are mysterious."

"And?" Yunan narrowed his eyes. He did not believe she did not know anything about K7 Pharmaceutical Team.

Ziyue refused to give in and appeared calm. "Muchen was infected with the virus they researched. You have seen his condition. I don't know anything else."

While Shichu made mistakes, Ziyue would not let it erase the friendship they had since childhood.

Moreover, Ziyue sensed he was not fully bad. That was one of the reasons that infuriated her. If he had been thoroughly evil, she would have abandoned him.

It was human nature to cover up for a loved one.

It was the same for Ziyue.

Shichu was currently in Country J, but his parents were still in Yunzhou City.

They had always been nice to her.

If Yunan discovered Shichu was the leader of K7, Ziyue feared he would seek out Shichu's parents since Shichu was not in the country.

Yunan's tone grew more intimidating. "How did Muchen recover from the virus?"

He believed Ziyue knew a lot more than he imagined.

"His doctor sought help from a friend and obtained the formula for the virus. Then, he created a vaccine based on the formula and cured Muchen." Ziyue noticed the impatience on Yunan's face and added, "That doctor joined MSF. Even I am not sure where he is now."

Yunan stared at her as if assessing the veracity of her words. Ziyue felt a little guilty but was careful not to let it show.

Seeing her stern expression, Yunan had nothing to say.

"Sure. Thank you for telling me all this, Mrs. Qin." Yunan took a deep breath and finished the iced coffee in a gulp.

Ziyue could finally relax.

…

LK Group's share value continued to decline day by day.

Many people waited to see what Ziyue would do.

However, apart from the press conference, she did nothing after taking charge of the company.

Ziyue worked with Feng Xingyan for two years before becoming Muchen's secretary. Although she still found it challenging to deal with company matters, Ke's assistance calmed her considerably.

However, it meant she became busy with work and spent much time dealing with company matters.

The company's share value was declining, but with Chuan handling the matters in Country J and Ziyue taking the helm in Yunzhou City, the company was still operating normally.

Yunan would occasionally call to update her on the investigation's progress. Unfortunately, there was still no news about Muchen.

Yunan mentioned that Muchen could be dead.

"Sorry, I need to deal with an urgent matter," Ziyue responded instinctively and hung up.

She could not understand why Yunan kept calling her. Previously, she had told him that she only wanted to know news about Muchen. Yet, he kept calling to tell her information utterly unrelated to Muchen.

After Ziyue hung up another of his call, Yunan tossed the phone onto the table. His expression was cold and unreadable.

Jingshu sat opposite him, playing with a string of rosary beads. He asked casually, "Who angered you?"

Yunan answered sullenly, "No one."

He proceeded to ignore Jingshu.

Jingshu's expression turned solemn. He seemed a little dazed as he fiddled with the beads in his hand.

He had noticed Yunan's strange gaze when he looked at Ziyue.

A few days ago, Xia casually mentioned that Yunan was not as unapproachable as others thought.

He pressed her for details and discovered Yunan called Ziyue frequently.

Although Yunan called with the excuse of updating her on the investigation against Gricy, Jingshu knew his elder brother was never that kind.
