The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 120: Is She Really My Child?

Mu Lianshen, expressionless, finished reading the documents and said coldly, "Is there nothing else?"

Chen Ye looked helpless. "Delving deeper would be hard to keep undetected."

Mu Lianshen gave him a sidelong glance, his tone icy. "And what if it's discovered?"

He couldn't allow her to get through tomorrow unscathed...

He gathered the documents, stood up, and pushed open the study door.

Fu Xiao looked towards the study door as it opened. Mu Lianshen, catching her gaze, looked back at her with a softened expression.

He walked over to her, his face trying to appear gentle, and noticed her gaze falling on the documents he held.

He directly handed the documents to her.

Fu Xiao glanced through the documents, noting a few key pieces of information before calmly returning them to him.

If this person weren't her enemy, she might admire her.

Although the people listed had relatively low positions, they were somewhat useful, and their wide range resembled fish in a pond.

It was evident that her ambitions were vast.

Her meticulousness in managing this kind of operation was impressive; no wonder she had managed so much behind the scenes without detection.

Fu Xiao looked up at him, her eyes calm and steady. "Was there nothing else found?"

Mu Lianshen's eyes darkened with swirling emotions. "The people are already under control. I'll make sure she clarifies everything."

It had been too long. Investigations would take considerable time. He clearly had lost patience, and with things being clear, a direct confrontation was better. He wasn't afraid she wouldn't tell the truth; after all, she still had things she cared about.

"Would you come back to the Mu family with me?"

Fu Xiao met his gaze steadily. "I will go, but not with you. I am Fu Xiao, and that will never change."

Mu Lianshen's expression was desolate as he forced a bitter smile. "I understand..."

Chen Ye, observing through the study window, spoke in surprise, "Now that's a true father and daughter resemblance, they are so similar."

Wei Xuezhe glanced at him. "It's a pity that so much enmity separates them."

Chen Ye didn't respond but looked at the girl with a nuanced expression, feeling a bit sentimental. Lianshen's daughter was truly exceptional.

His own child, at that age, could barely do anything but cry and be pampered.

If this girl had grown up in a grand estate, she might have been even more remarkable.

Fu Xiao turned and left.

Mu Lianshen watched her retreating figure before returning to the study.

Chen Ye noticed his indifferent expression and mused, "Lianshen, while investigating, I encountered someone from Zhai Jiu's side. Have you asked him? He seems to know quite a bit."

Mu Lianshen's eyes flickered, but he remained silent.

Fu Xiao arrived in the front hall where Fu Yue and Shen Xingzhou were, and sat down to chat casually with them.

Shen Xingzhou turned to Fu Xiao. "Ninth Uncle will send someone to pick you up later. What's your plan?"

Fu Xiao paused, her hand holding the teacup trembling slightly before she responded softly, "We'll follow you."
