Fu Yan Ting did not ask Yan Xi; his gaze was fixed on Liu Yuan.
Although Liu Yuan was an elder, Fu Yan Ting’s stare was so intense that it made her afraid to meet his eyes.
Liu Yuan hadn't expected Yan Xi to find a way to send for help, leading Fu Yan Ting to this place.
Liu Yuan cautiously asked, "Mr. Fu, why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known my woman was being bullied to this extent by you all."
Fu Yan Ting's tone was indifferent, but Liu Yuan felt a chill run down her spine.
Fu Yan Ting left with Yan Xi directly, without saying a word. However, Fu Yan Ting's expression left Liu Yuan with a sense of unease. She felt as though something was about to happen.
Liu Yuan comforted herself, telling herself she was overthinking. She had no connection to the Mu family anymore. If Fu Yan Ting were to take action against the Mu family, that would be their problem, not hers.
Even if Yan Xi knew she had killed Mu Jing Shen, Yan Xi had no proof. Without evidence, the police wouldn't believe Yan Xi.
With this thought, Liu Yuan reassured herself.
On the way back, Yan Xi saw that Fu Yan Ting's expression was still grim. Yan Xi began to explain, "Husband, I didn't mean to. I never thought this woman would be so deranged as to impersonate someone from Yi Yi’s school to call me, saying Yan Yi was in trouble at school. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen for it."
"I know."
Fu Yan Ting didn't tell Yan Xi that there were surveillance cameras at home.
Yan Xi had asked Xin Yi to go to the company to protect Fu Yan Ting. Fu Yan Ting knew Yan Xi was worried about his safety.
But he was also worried about Yan Xi.
He was afraid Yan Xi might get into an accident.
So, after Xin Yi went to the company, Fu Yan Ting monitored Yan Xi's every move through the surveillance system.
When he saw Yan Xi receive a call and leave the Fu residence, Fu Yan Ting hurried to put down his work to find Yan Xi.
However, Fu Yan Ting didn't expect that Yan Xi had already left by the time he arrived home. Fu Yan Ting had no choice but to activate the GPS system and track Yan Xi.
When Fu Yan Ting reached his destination, he realized it was a cemetery.
In the cemetery in Yan Cheng, it must be to see Mu Jing Shen.
Fu Yan Ting was worried that Yan Xi might get into trouble and couldn't afford to wait, so he rushed to find Yan Xi.
When he saw Yan Xi injured before him, Fu Yan Ting was filled with regret. If he had taken Yan Xi to the company with him, she wouldn't have gotten hurt.
With this thought, Fu Yan Ting regretted it even more.
Seeing Fu Yan Ting's grim expression, Yan Xi thought he misunderstood her relationship with Mu Jing Shen.
Yan Xi explained, "Husband, I didn't intend to come to the cemetery to see Mu Jing Shen. Liu Yuan brought me here."
"Mm."
"Then don't be angry, okay? You look so glum, you're not handsome at all. It's like the whole world owes you money."
Fu Yan Ting wasn't angry with Yan Xi to begin with, but when he heard Yan Xi say that, he suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
Yan Xi actually said he wasn't handsome at all.
Fu Yan Ting was incredibly heartbroken. He looked at Yan Xi and asked sternly, "What did you just say?"
Yan Xi realized she had said the wrong thing. She linked her arm through Fu Yan Ting's and said softly, "Husband, I know I was wrong. I'm sorry."
"If I hadn't arrived in time, would you have agreed to Liu Yuan's request and had a posthumous marriage with Mu Jing Shen?"
"No, I never thought of marrying Mu Jing Shen. I didn't even consider it when he was alive, and I certainly wouldn't now that he's dead. However, Liu Yuan told me that she knew about Elder Mr. Yao's connection to that mysterious organization. She also told me that she was working with Elder Mr. Yao. To gain his trust, she knew he was already suspicious of Mu Jing Shen, so she took action against Mu Jing Shen first."
Hearing Yan Xi's words, Fu Yan Ting fell into thought.
Seeing Fu Yan Ting not responding, Yan Xi couldn't help but ask, "Husband, what are you thinking about? Why aren't you talking?"
Fu Yan Ting had been lost in thought. Hearing Yan Xi's voice now, he didn't want to frighten her. He said, "It's nothing. Don't mention Liu Yuan killing Mu Jing Shen to anyone. It might put you in danger. I'll investigate it secretly."
Yan Xi instinctively wanted to object, but after hearing Fu Yan Ting's words, she obediently nodded and replied, "I understand, husband. Don't worry, I'll listen to you."
After Yan Xi mentioned Liu Yuan's murder to Fu Yan Ting, Fu Yan Ting did not tell anyone else, not even Xin Yi. He began investigating the matter alone.
Three days later, Fu Yan Ting went to the Mu family. Seeing Fu Yan Ting, Elder Mr. Mu awkwardly explained, "Today is Mu Jing Shen's seventh day of mourning. Mu Jing Shen is, after all, a member of my Mu family. As his mother, Liu Yuan is only here to burn offerings for him. Mr. Fu, don't worry, I will have Liu Yuan leave after the offerings are burned. I will not let Liu Yuan continue to stay in my Mu family."
Fu Yan Ting, however, was indifferent.
He was not interested in the Mu family's affairs.
But at this moment, seeing Liu Yuan's panicked reaction, Fu Yan Ting suddenly became interested. He looked at Elder Mr. Mu and said indifferently, "As you said, Mu Jing Shen is a member of your Mu family. Now, my wife has suffered injustice because of Mu Jing Shen, and I must stand up for her."
"That is for sure, Mr. Fu. I would like to know who harmed Mrs. Fu. Tell me, and as long as they are from my Mu family, I will definitely ensure justice for Mrs. Fu."
Fu Yan Ting's gaze fell on Liu Yuan, but he did not speak.
Elder Mr. Mu immediately understood and said indifferently to Liu Yuan, "Liu Yuan, you were never a member of my Mu family. Although you bore me a child, you were only a mistress. You may leave now. My Mu family does not welcome you."
Liu Yuan hadn't expected that Elder Mr. Mu had been so warm to her before, but now, with just a few words from Fu Yan Ting, Elder Mr. Mu was driving her out of the house once again.
"I am innocent. This has nothing to do with me."
Liu Yuan looked at Elder Mr. Mu, wanting to defend herself, but Elder Mr. Mu gave her no opportunity. He directly called in bodyguards to throw Liu Yuan out.
Liu Yuan had never been so humiliated. This was all Fu Yan Ting and Yan Xi's fault. Liu Yuan vowed that she would have revenge and would not let them have their way.
After Liu Yuan was thrown out, Fu Yan Ting also left the Mu family. Seeing this, Elder Mr. Mu knew that Fu Yan Ting had come to the Mu family specifically to avenge Yan Xi.
He wanted to stop him but knew Fu Yan Ting's temperament. He was afraid that if he wasn't careful and angered Fu Yan Ting, it would backfire.
