“Okay! Let’s go,” Sally said, brimming with happiness.

After exiting the office, the trio descended into the elevator and strolled toward the parking lot.

Meanwhile, You Luan exited his car, heading toward the office building. Upon spotting the three approaching, particularly the person in the middle, he was taken aback, nearly halting in surprise and losing balance.

That… that… Isn’t that… Madam?

She appeared thinner yet undeniably more elegant. Her attire and accessories exuded a heightened sense of fashion.

Upon regaining composure, You Luan discreetly retreated, hiding beside a car, wary of Lin Wan catching sight of him.

Puzzled and intrigued, You Luan watched as Lin Wan and her companions entered a car.

Madam… When does she return?

What brings her here?

After Lin Wan’s departure, You Luan informed Xiao Yichen about this development.

While mentioning Lin Wan had been strictly forbidden for the past five years, the circumstances seemed different now. Lin Wan was back. This might be a positive turn of events for Xiao Yichen.

You Luan dialed Xiao Yichen’s number, eager to share the information.

In a high-end restaurant, Xiao Yichen dined with Bai Lu. Upon receiving You Luan’s call, he glanced at the screen and answered.

“What is it?” Xiao Yichen’s voice was direct, his demeanor icy.

“Mr. Xiao, I-1 have something to report to you,” You Luan stammered.

“Speak.” Xiao Yichen’s response was curt, his gaze cold.

“I, I, I… saw… Madam. She seems to be back,” You Luan nervously told him the news.

In an instant, Xiao Yichen’s expression shifted. Anger flickered in his eyes, but a mix of excitement, surprise, and turmoil lay beneath it.

She’s back?

Is Lu Hao back, too?

How dare they come back?

Without uttering a word, Xiao Yichen hung up and stood abruptly. After addressing Bai Lu, he stated, “I’ll be leaving.”

Bai Lu, bewildered, asked about her return route, but Xiao Yichen, showing no inclination to respond, departed without looking back.

“Yichen, how do I get back?” Bai Lu inquired urgently, but Xiao Yichen strode away, seemingly oblivious to her.

Bai Lu’s anger flared. She wondered, ‘What kind of call could trigger such a drastic change in him?’

En route to the city, Xiao Yichen instructed You Luan to have Shen Qing investigate Lin Wan and Lu Hao’s whereabouts.

“Okay.” Upon recognizing the tension in Xiao Yichen’s voice, You Luan complied without further comment.

Upon returning to the East Mansion, Xiao Yichen awaited You Luan and Shen Qing’s report.

It was past seven in the evening when they arrived to deliver the findings.

“Mr. Xiao,” Shen Qing greeted.

“Speak,” Xiao Yichen’s terse response carried an ominous edge.

“Lin Wan is back. She’s working at a jewelry company called Elite Jewelry. Lin Wan is staying at her mother’s house, but…” Shen Qing reported.

Xiao Yichen’s piercing gaze prompted Shen Qing to lower her head, sensing the impending storm.

Shen Qing was so frightened that she immediately lowered her head. She understood what he meant and hurriedly continued, “Lu Hao hadn’t returned. We found no information about his entry.”

Xiao Yichen’s brow furrowed briefly, a flicker of contemplation crossing his face before resuming his sinister demeanor.

Lu Hao doesn’t return? Isn’t he with that woman?

What happened between them?
