Chapter 369 Foreign Forces
Song Yunxuan had a feeling of sloth the next day and slept till eleven o’clock after having woken up at six o’clock.
When Chu Mochen left in the morning, he tucked in the quilt for her and told the family servants to take good care of her. After these, he returned to the Chu’s.
The housekeeper presented the Yuncheng Morning Post to Song Yunxuan while she was having lunch.
Just after Song Yunxuan had unfolded the newspaper and taken a look at it, she saw the news about Shao Tianze.
She frowned slightly and turned to ask the housekeeper, “Call Shao Xue.”
“OK.” The housekeeper acted on Song Yunxuan’s instructions and immediately called Shao Xue.
Then, she presented the phone to Song Yunxuan respectfully.
Song Yunxuan reached for it and waited for the other end to answer the call.
Yet her eyes were still fixed on the newspaper in front of her.
The headline of the Yuncheng Morning Post was about Shao Tianze’s return to the Shao Family with Jiang Minjing, a famous gynecologist in Yuncheng.
Such gossip had drawn the attention of the public opinion of Yuncheng.
She furrowed her brow while reading the comments under the headline.
Shao Xue quickly answered the phone.
It seemed that she had already read the Yuncheng Morning Post, so she asked directly on the phone, “Yunxuan, do you call me because of the Yuncheng Morning Post?”
Song Yunxuan didn’t beat around the bush either, “I have no idea who spilled the beans.”
“Fanxing Magazine didn’t issue anything about the Shao Family, as you ordered. However, Yuncheng Morning Post had received anonymous contributions, one of which was about the thing that Shao Tianze’s return to the Shao Family with Jiang Minjing.”
Song Yunxuan pressed her lips and frowned.
She couldn’t understand it.
According to reason, the ones that had been focusing on the matters of the Shao Family should only be her and the Chu Family. Except this, no one should be paying attention to it.
The Chu’s must have never made their move on Shao Tianze without her permission.
Since this was the fact, who was the person who contributed the photos to Yuncheng Morning Post anonymously today?
She couldn’t figure it out and could not think of anyone else who might have done this.
Shao Xue was very vigilant, “If the news on Yuncheng Morning Post were confirmed, then what happens in Shao Family would not develop as you expect.”
Song Yunxuan nodded, “I understand what you said.”
“So, what’s your plan, Yunxuan?”
Song Yunxuan took a breath, “Currently, the only thing we can and must do is to find out the anonymous contributor as soon as possible. Moreover, I suspect that there might be a third party involved in this matter.”
Shao Xue frowned, “The third party? You mean the….”
“No, it’s neither the Shao Family nor my people. It’s someone that even the Shao Family and we didn’t consider a possible suspect.”
Song Yunxuan’s idea silenced Shao Xue.
She couldn’t picture a suspect in her mind.
Song Yunjia didn’t continue her talk with Shao Xue. She just relieved her after having raised the question, “I’ll investigate it, don’t worry. You just need to keep an eye on the matters in the Shao Family.”
“I see.”
After hearing Shao Xue’s reply, Song Yunxuan couldn’t help asking, “How are Miaomiao and Gu Yi doing in the Shao Family?”
As soon as Song Yunxuan said it, Shao Xue went stupefied and asked, “Are you saying Miaomiao and Gu Yi?”
“Yep.”
“Were they found by Shao Tianze?” Shao Xue’s words were full of astonishment.
And it even struck Song Yunxuan a little bit, and then she was alarmed, “Aren’t Miaomiao and Gu Yi at the Shao Family?”
“No, they are not.”
Shao Xue’s definite answer silenced Song Yunxuan instantly.
“But Shao Tianze brought Gu Yi and Miaomiao back. How could it be possible?”
Shao Xue knew nothing about these.
However, Song Yunxuan couldn’t help doubting Shao Tianze’s purpose when knowing that Shao Xue had no idea about Gu Yi and Miaomiao’s whereabouts.
After having been in shock for a while, Shao Xue immediately began to ease her mind, “Shao Tianze values the two kids so much that he will certainly keep them away from Gu Changle in case that she might hurt them at her will. Since he has found the two kids and hasn’t sent them back to the Shao Family yet, it probably means that he wants to conceal it from Gu Changle.”
Song Yunxuan nodded, “Yeah, that’s the only possibility, and I hope it’ll be true.”
“And Yunxuan, as you see, the Shao Family had already declared that Miaomiao and Gu Yi were missing, which proved indirectly that Gu Yi and Miaomiao had already died. But now, as Shao Tianze had found Gu Yi and Miaomiao, he should have been very happy to declare the news to Yuncheng. However, he did not do it, which indicated that he didn’t want anyone to know that Gu Yi and Miaomiao had been found.”
Shao Xue’s a.n.a.lysis was exactly the same as what Song Yunxuan thought.
She thought so, too.
She didn’t know why she had mixed feelings about Shao Tianze’s care and love towards the two kids.
Shao Tianze murdered the two kids’ mother while still protecting the two kids.
What had Shao Tianze got up in his sleeve?
“Please figure out a way and find out where the two kids are.”
Shao Xue nodded, “OK. I think I should be able to help in this matter.”
Shao Xue was Shao Tianze’s younger sister. When she was in the Shao Family, she showed much affection to the two kids, which Shao Tianze could see in the eye.
Since he knew that Shao Xue liked the two kids, then he surely would not hold back too much information about the two kids from Shao Xue.
The only people that Shao Tianze chose to conceal information from were just Gu Changle and Song Yunjia.
“Shao Xue, how is Gu Changle doing now?”
Shao Xue heard that Song Yunxuan was asking her something about Gu Changle.
She couldn’t help wearing a sarcastic smile, “I’m afraid that Song Yunjia will not be able to fight against Gu Changle this time.”
Shao Xue’s words silenced Song Yunxuan.
In her plan, the winner should have been Song Yunjia.
However, she had to change the plan flexibly because Gu Yi and Miaomiao were taken away from the airport.
And just because of this change, Song Yunjia, who was supposed to be a winner, became a total loser.
But even though Song Yunjia now became a loser, it didn’t mean that she was of no value at all.
In the end, she would be exerting her own value.
Shao Xue continued, “Jiang Minjing has found out the drug that Song Yunjia used on Gu Changle, and Shao Tianze has confirmed it. Now Shao Tianze has lost trust in Song Yunjia and is planning to drive Song Yunjia out of the Champs-Elysea.”
“That’ll be too bad.”
Though Song Yunxuan seemed to pity Song Yunjia, yet in the meantime, she had thought out a scheme while tapping the table.
After having said something else about Gu Changle, Shao Xue hung up the phone.
Song Yunxuan called Mei Qi right after Shao Xue had hung up the phone.
When Mei Qi received her call, he realized that she was going to urge him to investigate the matter she mentioned yesterday.
So he said hastily, “Manager Song, I drew a blank in the investigation you asked me to make.”
“You’ve found nothing?” The news made Song Yunxuan’s heart sink.
Yesterday, she dispatched Mei Qi to find out who leaked out the news about Gu Yi and Miaomiao to Shao Tianze and a.s.sumed that it would have been an easy job.
But now, even Mei Qi, her best man, did not gain anything.
So, what on earth was the man who leaked out the message to Shao Tianze?
She began to have a sense of crisis.
Yet Mei Qi said over there, “There is something I want to tell you in person.”
“Can’t you say it on the phone?”
“No, I can’t make myself clear on the phone. I have to tell you about it in person.”
Song Yunxuan had no idea what Mei Qi wanted to tell her. But from the way he spoke, she could sense that it was no trivial matter.
She was very concerned about who leaked out the news about Miaomiao and Gu Yi.
Actually, she was so close to successfully send the two kids abroad.
As long as these two kids had been sent abroad, she would have had no one to be wary of in Yuncheng, which meant that she would have been able to teach Gu Changle and Song Yunjia a good lesson while being free from worries.
But now unexpectedly, such a matter came up, which made her give up the plan concerning Gu Yi and Miaomiao.
What’s worse, she had to do everything possible to urge Song Yunjia and Gu Changle to stay and let them get on with each other. Because only in this way could she protect Gu Yi and Miaomiao from being killed.
She and Mei Qi arranged to meet in the Manager’s Office in the Song enterprise.
They heard that there was a knock on the door soon after she had entered the office.
Song Yunxuan said “come in”, then Mei Qi pushed open the door of the office and entered.
“You’d better take a look at these.”
There was a kraft paper bag in Mei Qi’s hand, which contained a thick pile of files.
After Mei Qi had handed over the pile of files, Song Yunxuan opened the kraft paper bag and took a look at the contents.
Inside were some pieces of A4 paper filled with information.
Only after having given a few pages a cursory reading, she wrinkled her comely brows and looked up at Mei Qi, “Are you suspecting Lu Xia?”
Mei Qi nodded slightly.
Seeing that Mei Qi nodded, Song Yunxuan soon frowned, recalling the last time she saw Lu Xia.
“We were in Roume the last time we saw Lu Xia, right?”
“Yes, Manager Song.”
Mei Qi did not deny it.
Yet Song Yunxuan pressed her lips to a line and slightly wrinkled her brows, “I sensed something was wrong when I saw her then.”
“You didn’t tell me about it.”
A lot of things came to Song Yunxuan’s mind instantly. The reason that she could find Miaomiao and Gu Yi so quickly was totally because Family Sophia gave her a hand.
Yet at that time, the master of Family Sophia was George, who was the white a.s.sistant beside Lu Xia.
Lu Xia had a deep affection for the Lu Family, and she did everything possible to stabilize the position of the Lu Family in Harbor City.
So she had been single all these years and devoted herself to the Lu enterprise.
And she put her whole heart into it.
Normally, she would have never left Harbor City, where the Lu enterprise took roots. However, when they went to Roume, they saw that Lu Xia was actually in the main house of Family Sophia.
Besides, when she recalled what Lu Xia had said to her, an astonishing and bold guess slowly came to her mind.
“Mei Qi, I suddenly have a suspect.”
“Manager Song, have you figured out who placed obstacles in our way?” Mei Qi had taken every man around Song Yunxuan into consideration, yet he still could not think of a possible suspect.
Yet now Song Yunxuan took the initiative to say that she had a suspect.
So this suspect might probably be the real one.
Mei Qi had full trust in Song Yunxuan.
Song Yunxuan felt relieved to see that Mei Qi trusted her so much.
Then she took a breath and then slowly asked him, “Do you think that it was pulled off by foreign forces?”
Mei Qi was also smart, and he was quite intelligent, “You mean… Family Sophia?”
