Mu Anan stuttered as soon as she opened her mouth. She immediately suppressed the nervousness and panic in her heart and repeated her question, “The matter about Zhong Ting.”

When Zong Zhengyu first heard Mu Anan mention the matter, he was a little surprised. After hearing her recount, his face had already regained its calmness.

As he played with the wine in his hand, he said, “Why are you so sure that person is Zhong Ting?”

“Didn’t they say so?” Mu Anan looked calm. “Auntie Zhong wanted her daughter to marry into a wealthy family, so she deliberately got her daughter to dress up as me when Seventh Master’s illness acted up. She took advantage of the situation.”

Mu Anan was determined to talk about this matter.

The fact that Seventh Master had rejected her intimacy twice tonight made her feel flustered.

She couldn’t calm down for the entire night.

After considering it carefully, she thought it was the only reason that could change the two of them.

Mu Anan added, “Later, 1 heard that Auntie Zhong ran away. I think you were probably planning to lure Zhong Ting out, which is why you let Auntie Zhong go. However, Auntie Zhong went back to her hometown without any abnormalities.”

After she finished speaking, Mu Anan could finally stare at Seventh Master openly.

He was leaning on the sofa with his legs crossed, the whiskey in his hand shaking slightly.

The knot in his throat rolled as he tilted his head and downed his drink in one go. Mu Anan felt her throat burn a little.

Zong Zhengyu placed the wine cup on the table. “Do you have any good suggestions?”

“What?” Mu Anan was surprised.

She was waiting for Zong Zhengyu’s response, but she didn’t expect to get another question.

“What’s your suggestion for catching Zhong Ting?” asked Zong Zhengyu.

“It’s what you do best, cunning girl.”

Mu Anan’s expression was a little stiff.

She wanted to tell Zong Zhengyu that she had no idea.

Even if she had any ideas, she wouldn’t have come up with them.

If they caught Zhong Ting, she would be exposed.

But she couldn’t say that, or she’d be exposed now.

Thus, Mu Anan put on a contemplative look and asked, “So how much evidence do you have now?”

“She is now in hiding in the Xing Yun Kingdom.” Zong Zhengyu stared at Mu Anan and said.

Mu Anan’s heart suddenly felt a heavy blow, and she almost could not speak.

After a while, Mu Anan said, “Since we’ve confirmed that she’s in Xing Yun Kingdom, send someone to search. Since she had to live in the Xing Yun Kingdom, she was definitely present at the working place.”

Zong Zhengyu leaned back on the sofa and played with his wine glass.”

She may change her name.”

“The name will change, but the essence will not change, for example, her face. She wouldn’t go so far as to change that face.”

“I thought you would give me clues to the school.”

Zong Zhengyu’s sudden change in tone made Mu Anan’s heart skip a beat.

For some reason, she felt that Zong Zhengyu was testing her.

Mu Anan remained calm. “1 don’t think she can go to school with that much peace of mind. Moreover, once she sensed that someone was looking for her, they would definitely stop going to school immediately. But working is a necessity for survival and cannot be stopped.”

“If she has a sum of money to guarantee her life.”

“That’s not much. Although the salary offered by Yuyuan Estate is very reasonable, Auntie Zhong lost her husband a long time ago. She had to provide for her daughter on her own, so she didn’t have much savings.”

“Your thoughts are excellent.”

“It’s because you taught me well, Seventh Master.”

Between this back and forth, Mu Anan managed to brace herself for the all confrontation with Zong Zhengyu.

She had basically concluded that the Seventh Master’s men were already searching for Zhong Ting in the Xing Yun Kingdom.

Zhong Ting was a smart and sensitive person. She probably sensed it already and hid.

After all, the Xing Yun Kingdom was too far away for Zong Zhengyu to reach.

In addition, Mu Anan had already arranged for someone to change Zhong Ting’s name and identity. She even changed Zhong Ting’s background.

“There’s one more thing.”Zong Zhengyu spoke again and glanced at Mu Anan, “The Zong Family’s second base camp is in Xing Yun Kingdom.”

“Hmm?”Mu Anan was shocked and stunned.

“I’ve got more people set up over there, and it supposedly won’t be long to get some news.”

Mu Anan grabbed the hand on the sofa and restrained her emotions, “What? The second base camp of the Zong family?”

“Yes.”

Mu Anan had known about the Zong family since a long time ago.

It was a mysterious family from the last century. At its peak, the wealth of a family could be compared to the entire Europe.

At that time, there were rumors that there were only two states, that was the Zong family and other countries.

If such a vast family wanted to find Zhong Ting, they would be able to catch her even if she was hidden in a rat’s nest.

“Well, it’s late. It’s time for you to go to bed.” Zong Zhengyu placed the wine glass on the table and stood up from the sofa.

Mu Anan blinked and snapped back to her senses.

Her heart was still impacted by Zong Zhengyu’s words.

She almost got up from the sofa and headed out with instinct.

But after three steps, Mu Anan suddenly turned back and rushed to the table, downing the glass of wine that Zong Zhengyu had not drunk.

The spiciness immediately numbed the tip of her tongue, and it went down her throat like a flame.

“What are you doing?”

“I just want to ask you a question, Seventh Master!”

The alcohol gave Mu Anan the courage to ask the question she had been holding in her heart, “Have you never thought about getting married?”

“Hmm?”Zong Zhengyu frowned, his eyes filled with shock.

Mu Anan thought for a moment and felt that she could not put it that way. She changed her tone. “I mean, Have you never thought of finding a partner, or a girlfriend that treated as the mistress of the Yuyuan Estate?”

All these years, he had never had any woman by his side.

Was this because that lady had offended him?

Or something else?

“Seventh Master, can you answer me?”

Mu Anan stared at Zong Zhengyu, stubbornly waiting for an answer.

Seventh Master did not answer immediately, instead, he looked at her silently.

After a while, he said, “Anan.”

“What?”

“That woman is provoking me.” Zong Zhengyu’s eyes emitted an extremely dangerous signal, “Those who provoke me could never live in this world.”

Mu Anan’s heart suddenly tightened.

“Will you catch that woman and deal with her?”Mu Anan asked.

Zong Zhengyu didn’t answer, but the killing intent in his eyes was very obvious.

As God’s favored one, he had always been at the top of the pyramid.

No one had ever dared to provoke him.

But this woman, however, had openly provoked him.

Then she was just courting death.

Mu Anan gulped.

She didn’t dare to say that the person who really provoked him wasn’t Zhong Ting.

It was her.

“It’s very late. You should go back.” Zong Zhengyu pulled her out.

He did not intend to continue this topic.

“Seventh Master.” When Mu Anan reached the door, she suddenly stopped walking, “If 1 provoke you one day, will you deal with me?”

“Haven’t you provoked enough?” Zong Zhengyu raised his eyebrows and pinched Mu Anan’s earlobe harder, “The more 1 do not allow you to do something, the more you will do it.”

Mu Anan chuckled, “That’s because you dote on me.”

But the issue of sleeping with Seventh Master could not simply be treated as an ordinary prank.

“1 have another question, Seventh Master.” “Why do you have so many questions today?”
