Surrounded By My Yandere Ex-Girlfriend On The Romance Reality Show!-Chapter 493 - I Found Fang Zhou’s Trail

“In such a vast forest, isn’t it reasonable to go mushroom picking?”

“The villa security overreacted; it was all a misunderstanding.”

The lawyer Qin Yun hired was very professional. Within an hour of entering the police station, she was released.

Her friend, called to pick her up, glanced at Qin Yun while waiting at a red light, murmuring, “Wow, since when do you like mushroom soup?”

“If you want some, we can go to a restaurant! I recently found a place specializing in matsutake mushrooms; it’s delicious. Want to go now?”

Qin Yun had changed into clothes her friend brought, her face and hands freshly washed, showing no trace of her earlier fence-climbing.

Except for the bandaged cuts on her palms, concealing the damage.

Watching the red numbers counting down, a stubborn glint appeared in Qin Yun’s eyes.

“I wasn’t there for mushrooms.”

It was just an excuse, and her friend believed it?

Her friend exclaimed, noticing the light turned green, stepping on the gas to pass the intersection.

“Then what were you doing in the wilderness?”

Surely she wasn’t just bored!

Scenery flashed by, but Qin Yun recalled what she saw inside.

The villa route was indirect, but she glimpsed part of the house.

White walls and a pointed roof, a common European style, surrounded by cameras, as if guarding against someone.

The more she saw, the more suspicious it seemed.

She had to investigate!

“Looking for a man.”

“Whoa!”

Qin Yun’s bluntness startled her friend, causing her to instinctively brake, slowing down.

Good thing it wasn’t the gas pedal; otherwise, they’d be in trouble!

“You’re joking, right?”

If she remembered correctly, Qin Yun’s boyfriend Fang Zhou had been missing for a month.

So quickly moving on?

As a friend, she didn’t want Qin Yun dwelling on someone gone, but this was fast.

Too fast for Qin Yun, who loved Fang Zhou for so long.

But if she had a new interest, she’d support it!

Her friend’s shocked look told Qin Yun what she was thinking.

She rubbed her forehead, trying to dispel her sleepiness.

Waking early left her tired.

“I’m not joking; I’m looking for Fang Zhou.”

Her friend was more confused.

“Wasn’t he lost at sea? Why look in the forest?”

Qin Yun never stopped searching for Fang Zhou, hiring a search team still at sea.

But the two places were unrelated!

Her friend wondered if Qin Yun was delusional, acting out of deep obsession.

If so, a psychological test might be needed to check for delusions.

Qin Yun nodded, texting her team while answering, “Someone said they saw someone resembling Fang Zhou, so I went to verify.”

“I see, but no need to climb fences!”

Qin Yun sighed; she didn’t want to.

“They wouldn’t let me in, so I took the last resort.”

Now, she had another plan to enter the villa.

Her fingers typed on her phone, sending a message to her family contact.

‘Find out who owns the villa on XX Mountain and their business.’

Surprisingly, the reply was brief, not as detailed as Qin Yun expected.

‘Daughter of XX Jewelry Company chairman, Guo Zhu.’

Guo Zhu.

The name rang no bells for Qin Yun.

The Qin family wasn’t in business, connecting with her seemed impossible.

Businesspeople were cunning, one of the Qin family’s least favorite contacts.

How to connect with Guo Zhu?

A face appeared in Qin Yun’s mind.

At dusk, the sun set, casting a golden glow over the city.

In a bustling downtown café, the warm lighting created a peaceful atmosphere.

Yet, tension filled a private booth.

Two women sat across from each other.

By the window, one wore a simple white dress, graceful like a blooming lily.

Her face was delicate, skin pale as snow, eyes bright but tired.

She sat quietly, gazing out, lost in thought.

The other woman was elegant, but dark circles betrayed her anxious life.

The booth’s oppressive air was broken only by soft background music.

“Why did you invite me here?”

Chu Xinran placed her phone on the table, wanted to be direct.

She disliked beating around the bush, especially with this woman, having important matters to attend to.

Since Fang Zhou escaped the grasslands, she’d been searching for him.

But the black SUV’s information was tampered with, leaving no trace.

Even using advanced tech, Fang Zhou’s public transport use couldn’t be found.

How did he escape?

The answer was simple: someone helped him.

Likely someone he knew.

Possibly the woman before her.

Qin Yun.

Chu Xinran’s intense gaze made Qin Yun feel unwarranted hostility.

When Fang Zhou was around, it was understandable.

But now, with him missing, why the animosity? freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Qin Yun didn’t understand, but it was trivial, so she didn’t care.

She warmed her hands on her coffee cup.

Then spoke, “I found Fang Zhou’s trail.”

Chu Xinran’s eyes widened in shock, exclaiming, “What?!”

A genuine reaction.

She couldn’t believe Qin Yun would share news of Fang Zhou.

Logically, Qin Yun would want her to never know.

Yet, Qin Yun’s firm gaze and serious tone repeated.

“I said, I found Fang Zhou’s trail.”

Chu Xinran’s mind raced through possibilities, settling on one question.

“Where is he?”

Her hand gripped Qin Yun’s arm, trembling with excitement.

Qin Yun smiled; Fang Zhou’s matters intrigued her.

“Getting there is tricky; I need your help to confirm.”

Chu Xinran’s expression cooled, withdrawing her hand.

“So you’re not sure.”

Now she knew why Qin Yun sought her—she needed assistance.

If Qin Yun could go alone, she’d never tell her.

“Why should I help you?”

Qin Yun remained calm, sipping her coffee, savoring its bitterness.

“Because you want to find Fang Zhou too.”

Her voice was gentle, like winter sunlight, but to Chu Xinran, it was cold and hard.

She’d hit Chu Xinran’s weak spot.

After a pause, Chu Xinran spoke.

“Explain the situation.”

Qin Yun smiled, confident.

Interest meant negotiation was possible.
