Chapter 700 Mr Qin, How Have You Been?
As Yunan exited the Lumiere Jade House, a woman with gorgeous blue eyes blocked him.
The woman was beautiful and had a stunning figure.
She was tall, wearing high heels, and tilted her head slightly to meet Yunan's gaze. "Hello, Mr. Bai. Im Bessalyn."
She spoke in English, and Yunan quickly discerned that she spoke in a Country J accent.
A beautiful woman with an exceptional demeanor and, on top of that, a country J citizen. Narrowing his eyes, Bai Yunan realized that her identity was anything but ordinary.
Suppressing his impatience, Yunan asked, "What can I do for you?"
Bessalyn felt a hint of satisfaction. She and Qin Muchen had been tracking Yunan all along. She had gained some understanding of Yunan from their tireless search.
She was confident that Yunan wouldn't ignore her. So without beating around the bush, she said, "I won't take up much of your time. I want to talk about Su Ziyue."
In the second half of her sentence, she spoke in the language of country Z, although her accent was a bit peculiar. Nevertheless, Yunan quickly caught the three words "Su Ziyue."
His expression turned serious, and he carefully scrutinized Bessalyn before taking a step forward. "Follow me."
He led Bessalyn back to his car.
"Go ahead," he said.
Bessalyn raised an eyebrow and smiled, looking gorgeously enchanting, but Yunan was not fazed by her beauty. Perhaps it was due to his military background and family that he didn't favor Western women who were exuberant and passionate. He preferred women of country Z who appeared delicate but possessed extraordinary strength deep down.
Women of country Z were known for their gentleness and grace, yet they could also be strong-willed. It was a contradiction that many men found appealing.
Bessalyn's expression remained unchanged but was slightly shaken deep inside. She knew that Yunan was no ordinary person. In some aspects, he was even more challenging to handle than Muchen.
Muchen was undoubtedly a businessman who weighed his interests and possessed formidable means. However, he was extremely persistent when it came to romantic relationships, to the point of being somewhat obsessive.
Yunan, on the other hand, came from a prestigious family and possessed the iron will and pride of a soldier. Regarding romantic relationships, however, he wasn't as persistent or clear-cut as Muchen, at least not to their understanding.
Bessalyn was bright and had a keen sense of judgment from a young age. Even when dealing with Muchen, she could quickly rein in her feelings when necessary, displaying reason and sensibility.
Although Yunan was challenging to deal with, she knew she couldn't afford to provoke him.
Without beating around the bush, she looked at Yunan and said, "Qin Muchen and Su Ziyue have already divorced."
"Divorced?" Yunan repeated, not believing what she had said.
Bessalyn raised a hand and said earnestly, "Absolutely true, I swear to God. What I'm telling you is the truth."
Yunan's expression quickly darkened. "How do you know, and why are you telling me this?"
Hearing Bessalyn's revelation about the divorce between Ziyue and Muchen, Yunan finally felt a tremble in his heart.
However, he did not take his guard off this woman. He did not want to underestimate this woman who came out of nowhere.
"I am from country J. My father is Marni, a partner of LK Group for almost ten years. Qin Muchen and Su Ziyue divorced when they were in Country J. As you know, partners in cooperative relationships tend to pay attention to each other's movements. My father happened to find out about their divorce unintentionally," Bessalyn explained.
Seeing how attentive Yunan was, Bessalyn paused momentarily and continued, "Shortly after their divorce, Qin Muchen encountered an incident. I believe there may be some connection between the two."
She knew Yunan was cautious, so she couldn't reveal that Muchen was still alive.
All she needed to disclose to Yunan was the divorce between Muchen and Ziyue. Given Yunan's character, he wouldn't easily give up once he had his eyes on a woman. She felt somewhat relieved thinking about Muchen having to deal with this formidable rival.
Little did she know, she had underestimated Yunan.
Observing Bessalyn momentarily, he suddenly pulled out a gun and pressed it against her head. "Take me to see Qin Muchen," he demanded.
"What?" Bessalyn was caught entirely off guard. This was different from what she had anticipated.
"Don't make me say it a second time. I don't care how wealthy your family is, or whether it is within the territory of country Z, I can make you disappear without a trace."
Yunan's face darkened as he stared at her, the gun tightly pressed against Bessalyn's head.
Feeling the chilling sensation of the gun against her temple, she knew she was in immense danger.
"I don't know where he is," she admitted regretfully. Finally, at this moment, she realized that she couldn't handle either Muchen or Yunan. She should have thought it through before hastily going after him.
With more force, he pressed the gun further into her temple and warned, "Since you know who I am, you know you can't fool me."
"You…" It turned out that Yunan had seen through her from the very beginning.
Muchen opened the apartment door and brought in the items he had bought at the market. Then, he took them out individually and placed them in the refrigerator leisurely.
After returning to Yunzhou City, the place he settled in was the small apartment Ziyue had bought with her own money.
It was the same apartment they lived in after getting engaged.
Every nook and corner here held memories of him and Ziyue. Where else would he live if not here?
The apartment had been vacant for a long time and wasn't in an upscale neighborhood, making it difficult to attract attention.
Safe?
He furrowed his brows, closed the refrigerator, and walked to the window to look down.
Looking down from the seventh floor, he could vaguely see a few men in black suits lurking by the flowerbed.
They appeared a few days ago, but he had been avoiding them, so he hadn't noticed them until now.
They would probably leave after waiting for another two days.
By then, he would return to Cloud Bay. The thought of returning to the Cloud Bay villa soon gave him something to look forward to.
He turned around to get a cigarette and was about to light it when the doorbell rang.
The only person who would come to see him now was Bessalyn.
Hadn't he already made it clear to her not to come?
She had been giving treatments to him for so long without any results, and besides, he had a strong endurance. He had never acted abnormally in front of Ziyue.
So he believed his condition wasn't that serious.
The doorbell wouldn't stop ringing. He had no choice but to walk towards the door.
Looking through the peephole, it was indeed Bessalyn.
Mustering up his patience, Muchen opened the door and asked, "What are you doing here again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yunan's tall figure emerged from the side, "Mr. Qin, long time no see."
As he recognized the person, Qin Muchen's face immediately darkened.
He glanced at Bessalyn, his gaze piercing like daggers.
Bessalyn couldn't help but shiver. She shouldn't have been so foolish to save Muchen in the first place, and she shouldn't have gone after Yunan.
Now, she has offended both sides and couldn't even afford to assure her own safety.
Muchen let go of the doorknob. "Mr. Bai," he said indifferently, as though everything was normal.
"Won't you invite me in to sit down, Mr. Qin?" Yunan smugly smiled.
Without saying a word, Qin Muchen turned and walked inside, with Yunan following behind him. Neither of them paid any attention to Bessalyn.
Bessalyn was never foolish but couldn't calculate as flawlessly as Muchen. She was in a difficult situation, with her life at stake. If she were to escape back to Country J, Muchen might come after her later to settle the score. Her only choice now was to find Ziyue.
