"No."

Zhan Mochen knew what Gu Shiyuan wanted to say.

He told Gu Shiyuan the truth with a solemn look in his eyes: "In fact, the murderer's target was not Yanyan. Yanyan took the bullet for her mother."

"You mean, the murderer's real target is Yu Xin?"

"From the angle of the sniper's aim and the timing of his shooting, it is indeed the case. China is not Country M. It is not easy to find a suitable sniper to shoot in public. Mom has never had any grudges against anyone, and now she has lived in Country M for a long time. Who would go to such great lengths to attack her?"

"This……"

Gu Shiyuan was silent for a moment before he tentatively guessed, "Could it be that someone has a grudge against the Bai family and is taking their anger out on Yuxin?"

"Not very likely."

Zhan Mochen directly denied it and listed the doubts one by one.

"Even if the Bai family has made enemies outside, wouldn't it be easier for the murderer to target the old lady and Chongbu? Why would they go to the trouble of hurting a pregnant woman who is married to a man from the United States and has many bodyguards around her? Unless this pregnant woman, or the baby in her belly, poses a threat to the murderer, the murderer would take the risk to get rid of this pregnant woman."

Every analysis of Zhan Mochen made sense, and Gu Shiyuan's expression also changed slightly for a moment.

Who will Yuxin, or the baby in Yuxin's belly, pose a threat to?
Currently, only a few people know that Yuxin is pregnant.

An unbelievable thought flashed through his mind, and Gu Shiyuan vaguely guessed something.

"I……"

He opened his mouth with difficulty, his voice hoarse.

It seemed like he wanted to say something to Zhan Mo Chen, but in the end he said nothing.

After a moment, Gu Shiyuan stiffly looked away and looked outside the hall.

"I'll have someone conduct a thorough investigation."

He never spoke again after that.

Zhan Mochen glanced at Gu Shiyuan's gloomy face and knew that he must have guessed something.

He looked away and mentioned another matter expressionlessly.

"By the way, Si Yejing's tablet suddenly crashed last night. When Chenchen helped him fix it, he found a bug in the computer program. Is it the tradition of the Si family to monitor the heir?"

"A bug?"

Gu Shiyuan was shocked. He really didn't know anything about this matter. "I never knew that Ye Jing had any eavesdropping devices around him. This could be..."

Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly.

Zhan Mochen already knew what he was going to say next.

Seeing Gu Shiyuan's solemn expression, Zhan Mochen didn't want to make the matter too embarrassing, so he stopped there.

"No matter who installed this eavesdropping device, you must be more careful over there in the future. Also, no matter who is the murderer behind this, I will definitely investigate this matter. I will not let anyone who hurt Yanyan go easily."

"It's natural."

Gu Shiyuan could sense the coldness in Zhan Mochen's tone, and nodded, "The murderer must be found, otherwise, Xiaoyan and your mother will be in danger sooner or later."

"Well, they won't give up easily until they achieve their goal. I will send more people to protect them in the future. If you have any clues, remember to tell me in time."

"Ah."

Gu Shiyuan responded solemnly and fell silent again.

Just then, Zhan Mochen's phone rang.

It was Ding Hao calling, and there seemed to be some important news. Zhan Mochen turned and went to the corridor to answer the phone, leaving Gu Shiyuan alone waiting there.

The oppressive feeling that lingered around Gu Shiyuan also dissipated, but Gu Shiyuan's expression became more solemn.

He walked to the windowsill at the end of the corridor, lit a cigarette, faced the snow-white wall, and slowly sorted out his messy thoughts.

Before he came to China, although Madam Si did not show any obvious displeasure, she could never be happy in her heart.

Si Yejing wanted to come to China with him. Although Madam Si agreed, she must have been unhappy.

And yesterday, Madam Si suddenly ordered people to forcibly take Si Yejing away, which showed that Madam Si's attitude towards him was no longer the same as before.

When he called Old Madam Si that day to tell her the news that Bai Yuxin was pregnant, Old Madam Si's initial reaction was definitely not to be happy for him.

The reason why Madam Si asked him to swear an oath never to return to the Zhan family was simply because she wanted him to be completely loyal and devote himself to the Si family until his death.

At first he did think so.

But things are beyond one's control. He met Yu Xin, and in the blink of an eye, he went from being a lonely man to having a wife and children.

If there is anyone who is most reluctant to see this situation, it must be Madam Si.

Thinking about what happened before and after, it is not difficult to guess that the ambush that Bai Yuxin encountered was related to Madam Si.

but……

He has been loyal to the Si family for so many years, and Old Madam Si has never expressed any dissatisfaction with him. Could she really be so cruel as to take the lives of his wife and children?
For more than 30 years, he has devoted all his energy to the Si family and has never complained when he was seriously injured several times. If it was really Madam Si who did it, how would he feel?

How should he face Si Yejing in the future, and how should he face his hurt family members?
Gu Shiyuan's hand holding the cigarette couldn't help but tremble, and his whole body was plunged into bottomless pain and contradiction.

It was not until the cigarette burned out and the sparks burned his fingers that Gu Shiyuan suddenly woke up from the pain.

No, he couldn't draw any conclusions yet.

We should investigate, or find clues first, and then verify these speculations.

Gu Shiyuan put out the cigarette in his hand, strode back to the door of the emergency room, and called his people.

"No matter what the cost, find out who has used guns in Haicheng recently. Don't let any of them go."

"no problem."

The person on the other end of the phone agreed readily.

Not far away, Zhan Mochen had ended the call and walked back.

Gu Shiyuan hung up the phone and looked at Zhan Mochen: "Any clues?"

"Well, the murderer has been found, but..."

Zhan Mochen's expression became even uglier than before. He raised his hand and pointed at the east exit of the building. "The murderer jumped directly from the third floor over there and escaped. He rode an unlicensed motorcycle and fled to the suburbs, where he was killed."

Gu Shiyuan's eyes, which had just risen with a glimmer of hope, dimmed again in an instant: "Killed? Killed to silence the witness?"

"It should be. The murderer's body was found in the suburbs five minutes ago. Judging from the weapon in his hand and the scratches on his body, he was the sniper who did it himself. But the person who silenced him should be from a professional assassination organization. Not only did he silence him, but all the clues left on the murderer were also destroyed. There is no identification and no electronic products."

"Did you call the police? What did the police say?"

"The police were at the scene at the time and did not find any clues."

Zhan Mochen's tone was heavy, and the suspicion deep in his eyes was even stronger.

He asked Gu Shiyuan with a hint of meaning: "Who do you think is behind this?" (End of this chapter)
