    Chapter 186 She's Leftovers

    After Huo Tingying and Yun Mu left the casino, they first went to a restaurant for a meal before returning to the old residence.

    After Yun Mu finished washing up and changed into a new outfit, he saw that Huo Tingying was still in the study dealing with documents, so he walked in.

    "Still working?"

    He smiled gently, walked behind Huo Tingying, wrapped his arms around his neck, and glanced at the documents on the desk.

    "Yun Shumo's information. You even dug up his kindergarten records. But why hasn't this kid returned to Huaguo much in recent years? What has he been up to?"

    Huo Tingying said sternly, "That's precisely the problem. All of his information is available except for the past few years abroad—it's a complete blank."

    This Yun Shumo is definitely not as simple as he seems on the surface.

    Yun Mu briefly scanned the information in the documents, and his hesitation grew.

    "I think there's someone who might know."

    "Yun Heshu?" Huo Tingying nodded. "I'll meet him tomorrow."

    Yun Mu nodded. "I'll go with you."

    Just then, Yun Mu's phone received a text message.

    "I've found some clues about the forces behind Yun Shuiyao. If you want to know more, come to my room within ten minutes."

    It was from Huo Jinzhou.

    "Let's meet in the living room."

    Going to his room late at night—does he really think I'm stupid?

    Soon, Huo Jinzhou replied.

    "The living room is too crowded. Let's meet in the backyard greenhouse instead."

    Yun Mu thought for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Okay, five minutes."

    Huo Tingying glanced at him. "Who's the message from?"

    Yun Mu put away his phone, blinked, and smiled mysteriously. "I'm going to take care of something important."

    He frowned. "What is it?"

    "It's not certain yet. Just watch quietly from the window."

    Seeing his mysterious demeanor, Huo Tingying didn't ask further.

    Yun Mu returned to his room and changed into a simple white lace dress, then walked through the moonlight and street lamps to the backyard.

    It was early spring, a warm March evening.

    The white flowers bloomed under the night sky, exuding a fragrant aroma.

    The girl in her white dress, with her hair dancing in the breeze, looked like an ethereal fairy under the moonlight.

    "Tell me what you've discovered."

    The moment Yun Mu stepped into the greenhouse, his pupils constricted, and a glint flashed in his eyes.

    He glanced at the flowers and decorations inside, feigning interest in the various blooms.

    Huo Jinzhou observed his expression, noticing no abnormality, and relaxed slightly.

    "The organization behind her is called END. As far as I know, Yun Shuiyao has never met the head of the organization; she communicates using passwords. However, her level seems quite high, and I'm not sure how many resources she can mobilize. But based on what I've seen, neither you nor Huo Tingying can match her power."

    To be able to mobilize the END organization with just a password indicates that Yun Shuiyao indeed holds significant authority within the organization.

    I didn't expect the organization to become so lax after her "death." Even the passwords have leaked out!

    I don't believe Yun Shuiyao could obtain the password herself. It must be related to the man I encountered at the hospital that day.

    "Yun Shuiyao cannot truly mobilize the power of the END organization, even if she has the password," Yun Mu said calmly.

    Huo Jinzhou was slightly surprised. "So sure?"

    He scrutinized Yun Mu closely and suddenly remarked, "You seem to know a lot about this organization."

    Yun Mu's alluring eyes flickered, and he evaded the question. "Did you install surveillance equipment in Yun Shuiyao's room? Is this all you've found out? Tell me something useful!"

    How did this woman know?

    Huo Jinzhou's eyes darkened. "If I tell you, what benefit will you give me?"

    Yun Mu stared at him intently and directly stated what he wanted. "Yun Shuiyao killed your child, didn't she? I can help you turn everything she has now into yours."

    The power and wealth behind Yun Shuiyao...

    Huo Jinzhou nodded, satisfied. "She sent people from the END organization to kill the patriarch of the Yun family."

    She's really persistent!

    A cold, eerie light flashed in Yun Mu's eyes.

    Huo Jinzhou studied the girl under the lamplight and suddenly changed his plan.

    Even if he slept with Yun Mu tonight, he wouldn't truly get this woman. It would be better to reveal Yun Shuiyao's scheme and slowly gain her trust.

    "Actually, Yun Shuiyao has another plan, which is to make me and you..."

    However, before he could finish his words, he felt extremely exhausted, and his eyes began to lose focus.

    He struggled to see the woman in front of him but only heard her cold voice.

    "Now it's too late!"

    With a bang, his tall figure swayed and fell straight onto the floor of the flower room, falling asleep.

    Yun Mu chuckled, stood up, and went over to kick him hard a few times on his back.

    Then she walked to the pot of tulips nearby, where the rich fragrance clearly carried a scent that didn't belong to tulips.

    Despite being well concealed by the various floral scents in the flower room, Yun Mu could still clearly identify the smell of "March Dream."

    To speak of it, "March Dream" was initially her creation, specifically provided for members of the END organization to use on missions.

    The fragrance was sweet and smelled no different from ordinary perfume. However, without an antidote, one would be hypnotized within ten minutes.

    Of course, someone with strong mental fortitude like Yun Mu wouldn't be so easily hypnotized.

    When she entered earlier, she had intensified the effects of "March Dream" while admiring the flowers. Huo Jinzhou's antidote was far from enough.

    He lasted ten minutes and promptly collapsed.

    Yun Mu also discovered a hidden mini camera beneath the flowers, indicating that Huo Jinzhou had planned something lewd after she was knocked out...

    Yun Mu removed the camera and turned to leave the flower room.

    Just then, Xiao Lan, Li Yunlan's personal maid, passed by. Xiao Lan was one of Li Yunlan's confidants and often caused trouble for her.

    Yun Mu approached and knocked Xiao Lan unconscious, dragging her into the flower room and placing her beside Huo Jinzhou.

    Then she thoughtfully closed the door behind them.

    At that moment, a cold voice came from behind her.

    "Did you sneak out in the middle of the night just to do this?"

    Yun Mu jumped in surprise.

    "When did you get here? How do you walk without making any sound?"

    Huo Tingying glanced at her, his gaze serene.

    "I've been following you all along."

    "What are you following me for? Do you really think I'd have anything to do with that scumbag inside?"

    Huo Tingying pinched his brow. "I was worried you might fall for his tricks."

    "That's impossible!" Yun Mu looked around and quickly took his hand, pulling him away. "Let's leave here; there might be some drama soon."

    Huo Tingying let her lead him away, smiling helplessly. "Wherever you are, there's never a lack of drama."

    Yun Mu was not pleased.

    "You mean Yun Shuiyao, right? She's the one who always causes trouble wherever she goes. She's stupid and likes to play tricks. Of course, Huo Jinzhou isn't much smarter."
