Meanwhile, on the other side, Xie Youlin and Mo Qingyun were secretly discussing something.
Xie Youlin closed the office door, not allowing anyone to disturb them.
Xie Youlin: "Do you believe Ou Yunchen's words?"
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "No, but I can't prove he's not telling the truth either."
Xie Youlin: "Look at what he did to me, can't you tell he's not a good person?"
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "I don't understand those things, but he's been decent to me at least."
Xie Youlin: "If he were truly decent to you, he wouldn't have opened the file bag given to you! You say he didn't intentionally lose those important things, I don't believe it at all!"
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "It's lost now, nothing can be done by saying anything..."
Xie Youlin: "Xiao Yun, you should leave him. I always have a feeling he's using you."
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "Using me for what? I'm just a poor mute, with no money or power. He seems more likely to be using Su Ruiyi."
Xie Youlin: "It's possible that among those important documents he lost, there was something that could prove your true identity!"
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "It could only prove my mother was a murdered business spy..."
Xie Youlin: "Could it be that..."
Mo Qingyun stared curiously at Xie Youlin, what was he going to say?
Xie Youlin: "Maybe I'm overthinking it, but you said he seemed to have many scars?"
Mo Qingyun nodded, but Ou Yunchen had explained it was due to childhood abuse.
Xie Youlin: "Then you should still be extra careful. Childhood trauma usually affects a person's entire life. What if he has violent tendencies..."
Mo Qingyun shook her head, she still firmly believed Ou Yunchen would not harm her.
But those scars couldn't help but make Mo Qingyun doubt. She remembered accidentally encountering the injured Ou Yunchen at the socialite's ball!
His excuse was being stabbed by a client with a bad temper, but Mo Qingyun didn't believe he was telling the truth. Would one endure being stabbed for business?!
And even stranger was Ou Yunchen's appearance, which was also accompanied by the name...
Xie Youlin: "Xiao Yun, I won't allow anyone to hurt you, not even Ou Yunchen."
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "Thank you, I believe Ou Yunchen won't hurt me."

Finally, it was time to get off work, but Mo Qingyun proactively asked Ou Yunchen out.
—Mo Qingyun and Ou Yunchen's WeChat—
Mr. Dinosaur: "You want to go to the night market?"
Mo Qingyun: "Pleeeeease."
Mr. Dinosaur: "But it's getting a bit cold for the night market..."
Mo Qingyun: "Just wear more layers."
Mr. Dinosaur: "Alright, I'll pick you up later."
—End of WeChat—
As Mo Qingyun was packing up to leave, a girl suddenly rushed up to her.
It was Shen Yuxuan!!!
She grabbed Mo Qingyun's arm, looking extremely anxious.
Shen Yuxuan: "I remember you! We've met! At Young Master Lan's! Can you help me?"
Mo Qingyun had no impression of this girl at all. She had already seen Ou Yunchen's car parked below the stairs.
Shen Yuxuan: "Xie Youlin refused to see me. Tell him to send the medicine to Mrs. Xie, and ask him why he froze all the cards for Mrs. Xie!!!"
Ou Yunchen honked his car horn and then called Mo Qingyun's name in her direction.
Mo Qingyun took out a pen and paper and wrote: "Xie Youlin has already left work. You can come find him tomorrow."
Shen Yuxuan: "Please, Mrs. Xie is out of medicine..."
Ou Yunchen walked to Mo Qingyun's side, looking at Shen Yuxuan holding Mo Qingyun's arm, then at Mo Qingyun who seemed to be shaking her head at him, indicating she didn't know this girl.
Ou Yunchen: "You..."
But before he could finish, Shen Yuxuan ran away, leaving Mo Qingyun and Ou Yunchen bewildered.
Ou Yunchen: "What did she say?"
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "She spoke too quickly. I only heard that she seemed to be looking for Xie Youlin. I told her to come back tomorrow."
Ou Yunchen: "She looks a bit familiar."
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "Oh, right. She said she saw me before, at Young Master Lan's. I only went there once."
Ou Yunchen immediately recalled. At that time, Sister Lan did say there was a girl who was on a blind date with Xie Youlin. Could it be her?
But why did she come to Xie's Media? Did Xie Youlin have something going on with this girl?!
The two of them looked in the direction Shen Yuxuan ran off, and both their minds conjured up the image of a 'strange person'.

By the time they reached the night market, they were eating snacks that puffed steam with each bite, searching for the next delicious stall.
As they passed a game booth, Mo Qingyun stopped. She pointed at the largest plush toy, her expression full of longing.
Ou Yunchen: "Boss, how do I play?"
Vendor: "Twenty yuan for ten bullets. Hit all ten, and you can take home the biggest plush toy."
Ou Yunchen: "Do you like it?"
Mo Qingyun nodded vigorously, but she didn't truly like it. She was testing Ou Yunchen.
If he was as she suspected, then it would explain why Ou Yunchen was so good at fighting! Why he had so many scars! And why he had no past hidden in Athena!!!
