Chapter 170
Su Ziyue abruptly turned her head and saw that the girl looked away quietly.
Coming out of the room, Su Ziyue felt a little perplexed. Why was that girl looking at me?
She went to the room alone, so after she came out, she walked straight to the room where Qin Muchen and the
others were.
Everyone was waiting for her, but she was a little absent-minded while eating.
Although Qin Muchen spoke to Bai Jingshu and the others from time to time, most of his attention was on Su Ziyue.
He took a piece of squid for Su Ziyue and asked her casually, “Why didn’t you chat longer with your colleagues?”
He guessed that she was like this because of something the people in the room had said when she was there.
“There was nothing much to talk about.” Su Ziyue didn’t understand what he was implying, so she merely shook her
head and thought about that girl.
She had an unsettling feeling that the girl was quite strange.
…
In the evening, Qin Muchen was going to take a bath after they returned to the room. As he walked to the door of
the bathroom, he asked her in a cheeky manner, “Together?”
“I’m going out for a walk.” Instead of glaring at him, Su Ziyue got up and headed out after speaking.
“I’ll go with you.” Qin Muchen had already pushed open the bathroom door with one hand, but he immediately
withdrew his hand after hearing what she said.
Su Ziyue shook her head. “No, I’ll go with An Xia.”
After speaking, she opened the door and went straight out. Qin Muchen didn’t insist on following her after hearing
that she was going to find An Xia.
There was always something between the girls that they didn’t want to talk to the men.
When Qin Muchen thought about it this way, he felt like he was raising a daughter.
Daughter?
A daughter that looks like Su Ziyue…

This doesn’t sound too bad.
However…
Thinking of something, Qin Muchen’s face turned gloomy.
…
After Su Ziyue came out of her room, she didn’t look for An Xia; instead, she took the elevator directly to the first
floor.
As the hot spring spa was in the suburbs, the night view was good; one could even see a few stars while looking up.
Su Ziyue exhaled, and her breath turned into a cloud of white mist as soon as it left her mouth.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard approaching her.
Someone was coming over here. The footsteps were light, so it should be a girl.
Su Ziyue turned around and saw the girl who had charged into the elevator and bumped into her that day.
There was a flash of surprise on Su Ziyue’s face. “It’s you?”
At this, an obvious trace of surprise flashed across the girl’s face as she said in a higher-pitched voice, “Do you
know me?”
Su Ziyue explained, “During the day, you were the one who charged into the elevator, right? And also, in the room
earlier…”
Su Ziyue paused slightly. The surprise on the girl’s face gradually faded as she nodded and said softly, “Yeah, it’s
me.”
She sounded disappointed, and the smile on her face was a little unconvincing. “I still have something to do, so I
should go now.”
She turned around to leave after finishing her sentence, but after taking a step, she looked back at Su Ziyue and
said, “Actually, I know you from before.”
Before Su Ziyue could smile and ask her, she had already turned and left in a hurry.
When Su Ziyue tried to catch up, she couldn’t see the girl anymore.
Su Ziyue had no choice but to go back to her room. She thought about it all the way, but couldn’t remember where
she had seen this girl before.
…
The next morning, Su Ziyue was awakened by the noise from the corridor outside.
There were sounds of footsteps, voices, and quarrels, making Su Ziyue feel annoyed.
She buried herself deep into Qin Muchen’s arms, while Qin Muchen gently patted her shoulder to comfort her. She
soon fell asleep again.
While she slept soundly, Qin Muchen got up and changed before he pushed the door open and closed the door
quietly behind him.
Everyone in the corridor was talking, and he vaguely made out what was going on.
Qin Muchen looked up and saw Nan Chuan talking to a woman, so he stood there waiting for him to come.
After a while, Nan Chuan came over.
Qin Muchen asked him, “What happened?”
Nan Chuan told him what he had heard. “There has been a murder case. The police have cordoned off the entire
hot spring spa, and they will begin to inspect everyone.”
Today was the weekend, and many people were eager to go back to the city. Now that this kind of thing happened,
and everyone had to be inspected, so everyone was not happy with it.
Qin Muchen thought of this as well and frowned slightly. “Let’s get ready to go back.”
“Alright,” Nanchuan responded and turned to go back to his room.
When Qin Muchen returned to the room, Su Ziyue had already gotten up and just came out of the bathroom after
washing up.
“What happened? There’s so much noise outside early in the morning, and it has disturbed our sleep. I will never
come to this hot spring club again.”
Hearing Su Ziyue complain, Qin Muchen just responded in agreement.
He sat on the sofa with an absent look on his face, lost in thought.
After talking, Su Ziyue ignored him and went into the bathroom to change.
Qin Muchen didn’t mind that either. After watching her enter the bathroom, he began to pack their things.

When Su Ziyue came out, Qin Muchen was almost done packing.
Su Ziyue asked in surprise, “Are we going back in the morning?”
I thought we could stay until the afternoon before going back.
Qin Mu said curtly, “We’ll leave after breakfast.”
Originally, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision to come here with her this time; Qin Muchen didn’t expect to
encounter such a thing at all. Although it had nothing to do with them, he didn’t like being caught up in irrelevant
things.
…
When they went to the restaurant together, they happened to meet people from the Su Group.
They occupied several tables, making it very obvious that it was a company gathering.
Su Ziyue and her group found a place that was relatively far away from them to sit down.
Across the crowds and the empty table, Su Ziyue locked eyes with Zhou Lingyu as she was talking on the phone.
Zhou Lingyu turned her gaze away with disdain. After listening to the person on the phone, she smiled happily.
Su Ziyue retracted her gaze and stopped looking at the group of people after ordering breakfast.
However, before they were done having breakfast, the police walked up to them.
“We’re the police!” The police went straight to Su Ziyue’s table, flashed their ID cards and ordered, “Su Ziyue,
please come with us.”
Their faces were so serious that Su Ziyue frowned slightly. “Officer, what did I do?”
Without waiting for the officers’ reply, Qin Muchen spoke first, “Can my wife finish her breakfast first?”
His voice was cold and deep with a certain indescribable yet considerable authority in it. Obviously, the police did
not like Qin Muchen’s attitude very much.
“Su Ziyue was the last person Xu Youran met with before her murder, so Su Ziyue is one of the suspects!”
“Even a suspect needs to eat.” Qin Muchen raised his eyes and looked at the police coldly, exuding a chilling
presence.
Su Ziyue vaguely understood something and asked, “Who is Xu Youran?”
A policeman hurled a photo to her with doubts written all over his face. “Don’t you know her?”
