Without giving her son a chance to stop her, Madam Yun rushed to Yun Xuan's apartment.

Alas, Yun Xuan was not there. No one opened the door even after she rung the doorbell incessantly for half an hour.

She had left in a hurry and forgotten to bring her phone with her.

She leaned against the wall at the side. Yun Xuan would usually spend most of her time indoors and would not leave the house unless she really had to. She couldn't have gone far away.

Decisively, she continued leaning against the wall and blinked the minutes away.

Half an hour passed, then an hour.

It was only then that she heard a door open. However, it was not Yun Xuan's.

An extremely cute lolita walked out of the unit next to Yun Xuan's and was surprised when she saw a middle aged woman leaning against the wall, looking like she would faint if a gush of wind blew by.

"Aunty, are you looking for the sister who lives in this unit? She is not here."

Madam Yun was lost in thought and took a while to process her words. "Not here? What do you mean not here?"

"I don't know when she left but about a week ago, I saw two men carrying boxes out of her unit. Perhaps she moved out. You should give her a call." The lolita left after filling her in.

"Great... just great." Madam Yun chuckled, her tone filled with bitterness. "She moved out a week ago and a few days later, something happened to my son. What a coincidence!"

If she didn't do anything, why would she run away? It was obviously because she knew that if she ran away after killing him, it would be obvious. So she left before doing it.

How could she?

She had to find her... she had to make her pay!

She slid her body against the wall and slumped to the floor, waiting until the cute lolita from before passed by again. "Do you know anything about where she could have gone? Anyone she was with before she left?"

The lolita fell into thought. She didn't want to divulge private information about other people. However, this middle aged woman looked too pitiful.

Besides, if her memory was correct, she had seen this woman here before. Perhaps she wasn't a bad person. "The last time I saw her, she was with a middle-aged woman who's a bit famous in the fashion industry... erm... I don't know what her name is." She scratched her head, trying to remember.

That hint was more than enough. Famous woman in the fashion industry...

She knew all of Yun Xuan's friends and now that she had fewer of them, it was even easier to guess. There were very few people from the fashion industry who were on familiar terms with Yun Xuan.

Since it was a middle aged woman, it couldn't possibly be Wan Jia. Was it Xia Rou then?

"Could you lend me your phone?" Madam Yun asked the lolita who instinctively took out her pink phone and gave to her.

Madam Yun made a quick search. "Does this woman resemble the one you saw?"

"Right!" The lolita exclaimed when she saw the woman on the screen then narrowed her eyes. "Not exactly. They look alike but this one is much younger."

Madam Yun left without saying anything else.

"What do you mean Yun Feiwen is dead?"

In the Lin residence, Yun Xuan was not just shocked. She was confused as well.

No one told her if her suspicions about that man were right. Nonetheless, she strongly believed in her own instincts.

If Yun Feiwen was really the person who tried to kidnap her... wasn't this timing too weird?

Xia Rou sat beside the shocked Yun Xuan, holding the little devil on her lap with one hand supporting his back and the other holding a milk bottle, feeding it to him. "Why do you sound like you're worried about him? You should be happy that he will not bother you anymore."

Yun Xuan played with her own fingers. "I wouldn't be worried about a murderer. It's just... I don't know if mother will be able to take it. I have an ominous premonition about this."

And she did not finish her explanation before someone charged in.

Even though she was shocked, she kept her calm and stood to greet her. "Mother, you..."

Pa!

Before Yun Xuan could say anything, a tight slap resounded in the air. Yun Xuan held her chin that had rapidly turned red.

"You little bastard! I brought you up! Is this how you repay me?"

Yun Xuan rubbed her cheek gently but kept her calm. "Mother, what are you talking about? What have I done wrong?"

Her words triggered aggression. Madam Yun grabbed her hair. "Are you still trying to pretend? You killed my son! You b*tch! You're the only one who could have done it!"

She loved Yun Xuan alright, since she had brought her up after all. However, she wouldn't stand it if she killed her son. All the love she had for Yun Xuan evaporated in a puff. She had no right to kill her Feiwen! Who gave her the right?!

Xia Rou was taken aback by the sudden attack. She gave the little boy over to a maid so he would be taken away from this scene before facing the fuming haggard woman. "I understand how you feel right now but will you calm down?"

"Who are you telling to calm down? Who do you think you are?! I will tear this b*tch into pieces today!"

Yun Xuan had been shoved to a sofa, her face now swollen and red. She raised her eyebrows when her mind registered what was going on.

The only way Madam Yun would think she had killed Yun Feiwen was if she knew that her son had tried to kill her.

She stared at the fuming woman. "....!!!"

She was right. Madam Yun knew what Yun Feiwen tried to do. But so what? He was still her beloved son even if he plotted to murder someone. Yun Xuan should have brought the matter to court if she wanted to.

In this moment, rationality had flown far away from Madam Yun's mind. She caught a glimpse of Yun Feng who was being brought away.

"Bring that kid here! I wanna kill him for revenge."

The calm Yun Xuan flared in an instant. She bolted from the sofa and rushed to shield the maid, growling like an awakened devil "Come at me all you want. DON'T YOU DARE LAY A FINGER ON MY SON."
