Chapter 150 Have you been in the hospital the whole time?
In the quiet of the study, Huo Muchen was focused on processing the documents at hand, unaware of the occasional ringing of his phone.
However, as information continued to pour in, the continuous notification sounds finally broke the tranquility of the study and caught Huo Muchen's attention.
He temporarily put down his work, picked up his phone to check, and frowned slightly when he saw that the sender was an unknown number. He opened the photos and browsed through them one by one.
In the photo, Liu Shiyin and Zhao Zixun are smiling at each other. Her smile is as bright as a flower. Then there is a picture of Liu Shiyin eating with her head down, while Zhao Zixun is gazing at her affectionately. What irritates him the most is the picture of Zhao Zixun wiping Liu Shiyin's mouth with utmost affection.
He immediately dialed the phone number shown in the photo, only to find it was not in service. He then dialed another number.
"Find out the location and user information of this phone number."
Huo Muchen's tone was low and made it impossible to guess his inner thoughts.
After hanging up the phone, he picked up his phone again and looked at the photos repeatedly. Every detail in the photos was irritating to him, especially Zhao Zixun's seemingly doting behavior, which made him feel a surge of inexplicable anger.
He couldn't help but wonder if Liu Shiyin had really betrayed him. But then he remembered Liu Shiyin's usual care and affection for him, and his doubts lessened a little.
The phone rang suddenly, interrupting his thoughts. Huo Muchen picked it up casually, and his subordinate's voice came through the receiver:
"Mr. Huo, this number is an online number, and we cannot find any specific information about it at the moment."
Huo Muchen frowned, but his voice remained calm:
"Okay, I see."
Huo Muchen frowned upon hearing the message on the phone. The internet number meant the other party was intentionally concealing their identity, making it difficult for him to track them down.
Just as Huo Muchen picked up his phone, ready to dial Liu Shiyin's number, her familiar voice came from outside the door:
"Mu Chen, are you there?"
He paused for a moment, then regained his composure and spoke calmly:
"Enter."
Liu Shiyin pushed open the door and entered, only to see Huo Muchen sitting at his desk. He looked at her coldly as she came in, but she didn't notice his unusual behavior, and simply said softly:
"It's so late, why are you still working? Go get some rest."
She walked behind Huo Muchen and gently massaged his shoulders, trying to relieve his fatigue from the day. However, Huo Muchen did not respond to her gentleness as usual; his once warm gaze was now as cold as ice.
"You know it's late?"
Liu Shiyin's hand paused slightly. She sensed the coldness and distance in Huo Muchen's tone, and a strange unease welled up in her heart, but she still forced herself to remain calm and asked:
"What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"
Huo Muchen did not answer, but silently continued with his work.
Seeing this, Liu Shiyin's unease deepened, but she knew it was not the right time to ask more questions, so she said softly:
"Are you angry because I came back too late? My mother wasn't feeling well today, and I was taking care of her at the hospital, so I came back a little late. I'll come back earlier next time."
Have you been in the hospital the whole time?
Looking at Huo Muchen's cold gaze, Liu Shiyin, to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, didn't mention her encounter with Zhao Zixun. She nodded and said...
"yes,"
Huo Muchen looked at her like this, his eyes filled with disappointment.
