“Miss Shen?”
Shen Yunsi hesitated briefly, following the voice to its source. The man standing before her was handsome, with a magnetic yet noble aura.
“Count Allen?”
She stopped, startled.
By this time, Murong Si had already made his way towards her, his hand extended in a gentlemanly gesture.
Shen Yunsi reached out for a handshake, and then she greeted him with a charming smile, “I didn’t expect to see you in Hua Country. What a pleasant surprise.”
“Aren’t you a local, Miss Shen? Why don’t you stay at home but opt for a hotel?”
Murong Si glanced at her suitcase, asking with a smile.
Shen Yunsi laughed and replied, “Does Count Allen not know that this hotel belongs to my family? There is a suite here specifically for me. I stay here often.”
“I chose to stay at the most recommended hotel during my first visit to Hua Country, and it turns out that it belongs to Miss Shen. Indeed, this must be fate.”
Murong Si said politely, and then continued, “Unfortunately, I have an errand to run. Otherwise, I would ask for your company over an afternoon tea.”
“Haha, I will be in Capital City these days. Feel free to call me anytime.”
“Good!”
After exchanging pleasantries, they went their separate ways.
Shen Yunsi carried her suitcase directly to the top floor.
This floor of the hotel, not open for business, was all transformed into her personal residence.
With thousands of square meters of extravagant, elegant, spacious, and bright interiors, the place was a reflection of Shen Yunsi’s high-end taste.
After taking a bath, she lounged comfortably on the sofa wearing a bathrobe.
Just as she picked up a book, the doorbell rang.
Knowing who it was, she narrowed her eyes, striding over to open the door.
“Hello, Miss Shen!”
It was certainly Yi Bing.
Shen Yunsi paused for a moment, then stepped aside, “Come in.”
“Yes.”
Yi Bing bowed respectfully before stepping inside.
Closing the door behind him, Shen Yunsi promptly asked, “Did you bring the thing?”
“Mmm, here it is.”
Yi Bing quickly took out a thin plastic bag from her pocket and handed it over.
Upon receiving the bag, Shen Yunsi hinted at a mysterious smile, “Thanks for your effort, Yi Bing.”
“Miss Shen, you’re being too polite. If there’s anything I could assist further, please let me know.”
Yi Bing bowed again.
A flash of contempt flickered in Shen Yunsi’s eyes, hidden beneath her smile, “We are friends, so don’t hesitate to ask for a favor. Please, don’t be too formal.”
“Okay, thank you, Miss Yunsi.”
Yi Bing wore a grateful expression.
“Please take a seat. Let’s chat about what Gu Li has been up to lately.”
“Alright.”
Yi Bing followed Shen Yunsi to the couch, spilling everything she knew about Gu Li’s recent activities.
“What? You’re saying Song Yunque partnered up with Gu Li?”
Shen Yunsi’s countenance faltered a bit upon learning that even Song Yunque had been won over by Gu Li.
Song Yunque was the youngest boy of the Song family, the most cherished grand-nephew of the elderly matriarch. If even he has sided with Gu Li, perhaps…
No, that’s not right!
Song Yunque was actually seduced by Gu Li into the entertainment industry?
Huh?
The matriarch would have a stroke if she found out!
However, now wasn’t the best time to spill the beans to the matriarch, she’d wait for a bit.
Regaining her composure, Shen Yunsi asked, “Does Mo Shiting know about this?”
“I’m not sure,” Yi Bing answered honestly, “Gu Li and Young Master Mo seldom discuss business matters in front of me.”
“Then what do they talk about?” Shen Yunsi was curious.
“They…”
Yi Bing couldn’t help but glance at Shen Yunsi, hesitating to continue.
What could a couple talk about when they’re together? It’s nothing but sweet nothings, after all.
However, she didn’t have the heart to tell Shen Yunsi. It would be too cruel.
Shen Yunsi immediately understood, forcing a self-deprecating laugh: “I’m such a fool, asking such a stupid question, haha.”
“Miss Yunsi–”
Just when Yi Bing was about to comfort her, Shen Yunsi interrupted, “I’m fine, don’t worry.”
At that, she rose and took an exquisite box from the drawer, presenting it to Yi Bing: “This is a perfume and lipstick I bought for you at the duty-free shop, I hope you like it.”
When one needs a favor, certain gratitudes are to be expected. Shen Yunsi was never stingy in showing her appreciation.
After all, with her financial means, splurging a few thousand was like a drop in the ocean.
Yi Bing was touched by Shen Yunsi’ s surprise present. She profusely expressed her gratitude.
“Alright, you should get going if you’re busy. We’ll stay in touch.”
Shen Yunsi dismissed her.
Yi Bing nodded, “Yes.”
“Remember not to disclose my return to anyone.”
She stressed this over and over again until Yi Bing promised, then only allowed her to leave.
As soon as Yi Bing left, Shen Yunsi picked up her cell phone and dialed the contact for a certain organization: “The hair, I got it.”
“Is that so? You’re amazing. It’snot easy to get close to Gu Li. I owe it all to you.”
“Before I give you the thing, I want to know who wants the DNA test.”
“Sorry, this is a client’s privacy, I shouldn’t be telling you.”
The other party refused.
Shen Yunsi put on a sly smile: “Can’t you even tell me in the name of our long cooperation? Besides, I won’t tell Gu Li. Trust me, I have no reason to betray.”
“I, Shen Yunsi, am not someone who would owe someone a favor lightly.”
“Okay, as long as you promise to keep it to yourself, I’ll tell you.”
In the end, the other party indeed sold out Qin Shurong.
However, he’d only traded with Qin Shurong online and didn’t know anything about her other than she was a woman and very wealthy. She always made generous offers.
“Do you have her IP address?” Shen Yunsi asked.
“Yes.”
The other side readily provided several IP addresses.
Qin Shurong was extremely cautious about her privacy, and they had tried tracking these addresses but found no leads. A top-tier hacker might be needed to trace anything.
“Alright, thank you. I’m a bit busy today, will deliver the hair personally tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yunsi’s eyes suddenly darkened.
She bit her lip, picked up the phone again, and sent a message to one of the top ten hackers from the international hackers list, asking him to locate the person within a day.
Well, she wanted to see who wanted to have a DNA test with Gu Li.
Riverside Creative Park.
After lunch, Gu Li began discussing business matters with Da Ha: “By the way, did you find out anything about the things I asked you to investigate on GE Entertainment?”
Da Ha shook his head: “Nothing yet. They’ve been very secretive. It’s difficult to gather evidence.”
Song Yunque blinked, slightly confused: “GE Entertainment has shady dealings? Really? Do you know who is financing GE Entertainment?”
“Who?”
Both Da Ha and Gu Li asked in unison.
