CHAPTER 689: CHAPTER 689: MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT

As soon as Chi Yue entered, she saw Fu Rongyin lounging comfortably on the sofa with Zhan Youyou sitting beside him, her eyes smiling as she spoke to him.

The moment she walked in, both of them turned to look at her. Fu Rongyin’s gaze swept past her, seemingly indifferent to her presence.

It was Zhan Youyou who greeted her, "Miss Chi, the fiancée of Fu Xingchuan?"

Jiang Ruan didn’t quite like this niece and frowned, "You’er, she is a guest."

Zhan Youyou laughed, "Auntie, don’t be nervous. I won’t do anything to her. Right, Miss Chi?"

The latter half of her sentence was directed at Chi Yue.

Chi Yue nodded lightly, her words indeed meant for Jiang Ruan, "Madam, thank you for your care these past days. My friend has come from Nancheng, so I won’t impose on you any longer. If there is any news of Xiao Yan, please contact me."

Jiang Ruan expressed surprise, "You’re leaving? Where will you stay?"

"We’ll stay at a hotel for a few days, it’s not a problem."

Jiang Ruan furrowed her brow but said nothing; she couldn’t really ask Chi Yue to bring outsiders into her home.

Having received Jiang Ruan’s consent, Chi Yue then said to Lin Wanyun, "Miss Lin, may I have a word with you?"

"Of course."

As soon as Chi Yue and Lin Wanyun left, Zhan Youyou turned to Fu Rongyin.

"Qi Yizhou, what do you think of Miss Chi?"

Fu Rongyin lifted his eyelids slightly, "What aspect are you asking about?"

"About her as a person, what’s your first impression?"

"What do you want me to say?"

Seeing Fu Rongyin throw the question back at her, Zhan Youyou laughed again, "Everyone says you’re foolish, but I think you’re wise beyond measure. I don’t know how the fools in the Zhan Family could possibly think you have no influence over them."

Fu Rongyin lowered his gaze, "That’s something you should say less often in the future."

"Fine. I’m going out to sea tomorrow. Will you accompany me?"

"Sure."

——

After leaving the Zhan Family house, Chi Yue went straight to the airport, just in time for Nan Yuan’s flight to land.

Chi Yue hadn’t told Nan Yuan about Fu Hanyan’s disappearance before this, but now she couldn’t conceal it anymore.

"Nan Yuan, there’s something I’ve kept from you. You must stay calm," she said.

Chi Yue took a deep breath and continued, "Xiao Yan might have been taken by the Qi family’s people, but I have no evidence to prove they took her."

Seeing Nan Yuan’s expression change, Chi Yue quickly added, "Don’t worry, I’ve already asked the Zhan Family to keep an eye on the situation there. They will contact us as soon as there is any news."

Without a word, Nan Yuan got into the car. Chi Yue couldn’t gauge his thoughts, opened the car door, but then heard him tell the driver, "Go to the Qi family."

"No!" Chi Yue immediately rejected the idea, "You can’t even get through the door if you go there now. I went to the Qi family yesterday; it’s very large, hiding a person there would be easy."

Nan Yuan fell silent again.

Worried that the driver might overhear something, Chi Yue had the driver change the destination and then remained quiet.

It wasn’t until they arrived at the hotel that Chi Yue spoke to him, "I met Fu Rongyin yesterday. I have a way to find Xiao Yan."

"What way?"

"He sees me as a woman trying to seduce him. I’ll just follow his thoughts and approach him, it’s the only way I can get close to him."

Fu Xingchuan said that Zhan Youyou was cruel and portrayed her as intelligent, but no matter how smart she was, could she really compare to a man who had established a large company in three years?

"No," Nan Yuan disagreed, "Fu Rongyin has just returned to the Qi family, he may not be able to protect you. I’ve heard Zhan Youyou is not to be trifled with; she even plots against her own cousins."
