Chapter 1407: How To Trust Again
Yun Xi was rather relaxed about Han Qin. The two people she had kidnapped had vanished overnight, and the kidnappers had disappeared without a trace. Knowing her patience, if Han Qin was one behind this, she would have changed her plans. Han Qin was not as composed as Han Hongbin was.
There was a possibility that someone else could have been the mastermind so if Han Qin had escaped with Yun Chuhan, they could try to bury this under the carpet as if nothing had happened.
Regardless, Yun Xi planned to use this opportunity to test her hypothesis.
The Han family had remained a looming and unpredictable threat. If the Han family could not be used as a tool against the Prime Minister and the Qiao family, Yun Xi would have ended them a long time ago.
“Inform the investigation unit to keep an eye on the Han family. Update me immediately if there is any movement.”
“I have arranged for Team Leader A to handle this. Han Hongbin is a sly old fox. You may have used your voice recording to land him in jail and get some Han family shares on your hands with Director Mu’s help, but being on the shareholder’s board does not give you the upper hand. The old man is sly and the Han family is all about business, after all. The shares you bought came from the smaller shareholders, and most of them did not approve of Han Yaotian being the new director. If they could take the shares back from you, then the power over the Han family will be restored to the Han family themselves. And when that happens, you will have to watch your back.”
“I…” Yi Qianmo’s words made Yun Xi’s heart skip a beat as she had considered this possibility.
“But Mu Feichi is smart! He should have already guessed that Han Hongbin would try this!”
“That’s why their shares are under your name, right? You are the most loyal to this cause as the Han family is your enemy. You would not let the opportunity you have fall into another’s hands, right?”
Yi Qianmo’s lips curled into a smile, “He only trusts the ones who trust him, and your trust in him is always a hundred per cent so he trusts you the same.”
Yun Xi looked down and her fingers pressed hard onto the chopsticks. She did not say another word, but there was a faint sweetness on the back of her tongue.
Yi Qianmo was right, Mu Feichi trusted Yun Xi the most. The level of trust would have required years and years of interaction and mutual exchanges to form, but Mu Feichi had given it to her without hesitation.
At that moment, Yun Xi could see into her future and the thousands of years that would come after that. She could see that Mu Feichi’s trust in her had not faltered once, and never once had he doubted her.

She thought that it was a strange feeling to be trusted and be able to wholeheartedly trust. She had never experienced this in her last life.
Back when she had been betrayed by Han Yaotian and manipulated by Qiao Ximin, the two she had placed her trust in were the ones who had ruined her belief in trust, and she vowed to never trust anyone else.
Yet, Mu Feichi had changed all of that. He had changed it all without even doing much, and he had taught Yun Xi how to trust again.
“Anyway, I’ll ask Baifan to impose as many sanctions as he can on the Han family. They would then have less time to target you under all the pressure, or at least they would not have the time to target you until Director Mu returns. You can stay at Mount Tianyu or the lab—this will make their advances even more difficult. If there’s anything else, we can discuss it once Director Mu returns. We only move when the enemy moves.” Yi Qianmo paused and added, “Besides, the longer you keep a low profile, the harder it will be for Han Hongbin to guess your next move, and the more he scrambles, the easier it is to see through him.”
Yi Qianmo was unwilling to face the wrath if Yun Xi got into more danger than being kidnapped. If it was not for her ability to free herself, a kidnapping would have been almost fatal for anyone else.
“Got it. I will be more careful.”
