Chapter 89: Chapter 89: There’s a Traitor Among Us

Upon hearing this, Gu Yizhou’s brow furrowed slightly.

He didn’t say much, though.

And just as the two were talking, Yan Luoxi, who was on the living room sofa, also noticed the situation at the door.

When she saw her own mother standing at the door, she first froze.

The next second,

her azure eyes shot wide open in disbelief.

’Mom?’

’What is she doing here?’

’Can someone please tell me what’s going on???’

Yan Luoxi was utterly bewildered, unable to make heads or tails of the situation.

Meanwhile, at the door, as Gu Yizhou frowned, Tang Wanfang was also quietly sizing him up.

’This young man is quite tall and handsome!’

’Could he be the boyfriend that darn girl Xixi has been hiding?’

Snapping back to his senses, Gu Yizhou noticed Tang Wanfang staring at him, and her gaze seemed a little odd.

He was filled with confusion, but after the last incident with that older woman, Gu Yizhou had learned to be cautious.

"Ahem."

He faked a cough and then said, "Um... Ma’am, I won’t disturb your search. I’m just going downstairs to take out the trash."

"Ah?"

"Oh, oh, go right ahead, young man."

Tang Wanfang said, snapping back to reality upon hearing his voice.

Gu Yizhou nodded, said nothing more, and casually closed the door before hurrying toward the stairwell.

Tang Wanfang watched Gu Yizhou’s retreating back, lost in thought.

After a moment, she shook her head, stepped to the side, and dialed Roy’s number.

Meanwhile, a storm was raging in Yan Luoxi’s heart as she sat in the living room.

’Why is my mom here?’

’Is she looking for me?’

’But! How does she know I live here?’

’Only Assistant Bai and I know I live here. Not even that girl Roy knows.’

The more Yan Luoxi thought about it, the more something felt wrong.

’Could it be... that she found out I can turn into a cat?’

’No, that’s not right!’

’If she really knew, my mom wouldn’t react like this.’

’So... there’s only one answer!’

’My mom hired someone to follow me!’

Suddenly, Yan Luoxi remembered how Roy had stammered and hesitated when she called her the other day.

In an instant, a flood of possibilities came to mind.

After a moment’s thought, she leaped off the sofa, scurried to the cat flap on the door, and poked her little head out to survey the hallway.

’Huh?’

’My mom left?’

Yan Luoxi was a little surprised.

Just as she was about to squeeze through to check, she heard her mother’s voice coming from nearby.

Yan Luoxi’s movements paused for a second, and then she pulled her head back in.

’Who is my mom talking to on the phone?’

"Yiyi, which apartment was it that you told me that girl Xixi bought?"

Tang Wanfang asked Roy on the other end of the line.

The moment she heard that, Yan Luoxi understood everything!

’Just as I thought!’

’There’s a mole in my own camp!’

’And that mole is my own best friend, Roy!’

’There’s a traitor among the ranks!’

’But... how did that darn girl Roy know I bought a place here?’

’Did Assistant Bai sell me out?’

’No, that can’t be right!’

’Assistant Bai would never say anything, unless she didn’t want her job anymore.’

’Otherwise, she would never dare leak this information without my permission.’

’So how did my mom and Roy find out I live here?’

Yan Luoxi was confused, but she soon figured it out.

’The first time I changed back from a cat to a human, she came to this very district to pick me up.’

’On top of that, I’ve been unreachable at night recently and haven’t been staying at the villa. They must have started getting suspicious.’

’And then there was that time my mom suspected I had a boyfriend!’

’All the signs pointed to me being up to something.’

’They’ve probably been secretly investigating me this whole time.’

’After all, you can’t keep a secret forever. And with the power of money, it’s no surprise they found out I was living here in the Binjiang No. 1 Mansion District.’

From that one snippet of conversation between her mom and Roy, Yan Luoxi pieced things together and got pretty close to the truth.

...

"Oh, apartment 306!"

"Okay, I got it."

Tang Wanfang thought for a moment and said, "By the way, it’s the weekend. Yiyi, can you give the Cuihu Villa Estate a call for me and see if that girl Xixi is there?"

"Okay, Aunt Fang. Don’t hang up, give me a second. I’ll call right now to check."

Roy replied from the other end of the line.

"Okay!"

Tang Wanfang nodded.

A little while later.

Roy finished her calls. She had even tried the landline at the Cuihu Villa Estate, but every call went unanswered.

"Aunt Fang, I just called, but no one picked up. Not even the home phone!"

Roy said.

"Alright, I know!"

Tang Wanfang said with a nod.

"Hey, Aunt Fang, you’re asking about this... does that mean you’re at the Binjiang No. 1 Mansion District right now?"

Roy suddenly realized and asked.

"Yes!"

"I’m on the third floor of Building 7, Unit 3 right now!"

"I’m about to go knock and see if that darn girl is here and what the hell she’s been up to lately!"

Tang Wanfang said.

Roy: "..."

’We agreed we’d find a time to corner her and catch her in the act together! Why did you go off and act alone?’

’If you spook her, how are we supposed to catch her in the act later?’

’Most importantly, with that girl Xixi’s intelligence, she’ll definitely guess that I had a hand in investigating her...’

’Sigh...’

’I’m definitely going to take the fall for this, aren’t I???’

’Aunt Fang, you’re too impulsive!’

Roy thought helplessly.

But while she thought this, she would never dare say it out loud.

After all, Tang Wanfang was her elder, someone who had watched her grow up. If she said it, she’d definitely get an earful!

’Oh, well!’

’I can only pray that Aunt Fang doesn’t spook her, or that she manages to catch her in the act!’

"Alright, Yiyi, I’m not going to talk anymore. That’s all for now!"

Seeing that Roy had suddenly gone silent, Tang Wanfang said, "I’m going to knock on the door and see if that girl Xixi is here first!"

"Ah?"

Snapping back to her senses, Roy quickly stammered, "Oh, oh... okay!"

With that, the two hung up the phone.

Tucking the phone into her purse, Tang Wanfang turned and walked toward the door of 306.

As she passed the door to 305, she noticed a little white cat had suddenly appeared there, and it was staring intently at her.

’Huh?’

’A kitty??’

Tang Wanfang paused, taken aback.

’This cat must belong to that young man from just now. It’s surprisingly cute!’

’I wouldn’t have thought a grown man would have the heart to keep a pet. He must be a caring young man!’

Without giving it much more thought, she walked directly to the door of 306.
