Mrs. Fu, please be mindful of the appropriate boundaries.

Yu Shinan glanced at her, a very indifferent glance, and said nothing, but Lin Yuanqing was startled.

"You know Si Chen is pregnant?" Yu Shinan asked her, his voice flat and devoid of any emotion.

Lin Yuanqing felt as if she had been hit hard in the head with a hammer, but only for a moment. She immediately said, "It's all being said in the videos online, I saw it too."

Yu Shinan also saw those videos.

The rumors were all over the place because of the security guards' questioning, but they didn't involve any issues related to miscarriage or pregnancy preservation.

He looked up at Lin Yuanqing. "Did the video mention that she might have a miscarriage?"

Lin Yuanqing's expression changed several times, but she forced herself to say, "She had a stomachache, so I guessed that's how it was based on the connection between the events."

Yu Shinan looked at her without saying a word, but his gaze sent chills down her spine. What people fear most is not being able to fully control an event; the unknown will generate many variables.

But she believed she had done everything perfectly and would not leave any evidence. She could answer any questions Yu Shinan had to ask and explain everything clearly to him.

But as he stared at her like that, Lin Yuanqing's heart pounded, wondering if something unpredictable had happened.

Or did Fu Sichen say that the child was his?

Lin Yuanqing felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about this, but looking at Yu Shinan's appearance, she felt it was impossible.

She secretly cheered herself up, telling herself not to panic. If Fu Sichen admitted it, then she would be a mistress, a third party, shameless, and a widow who broke up someone else's engagement. Lin Yuanqing would tear her to shreds.

But the most crucial thing is that if Yu Shinan knew that the person that day was Fu Sichen, she wouldn't be able to hide her pregnancy anymore.

Without intimate relations, she couldn't possibly have a child on her own, no matter how skilled she was.

Lin Yuanqing waited anxiously for Yu Shinan to speak, her mind conjuring up a dramatic scene that terrified her.

Yu Shinan sat on a single sofa to the side, leaning back with his eyes lightly closed, silent and quiet like a secluded cave.

"Shi Nan?" Lin Yuanqing called out to him tentatively.

Yu Shinan didn't even blink, uttering just one word: "Speak."

"If there's nothing else, I'll go home first. I still have..."

Before Lin Yuanqing could finish speaking, Yu Shinan suddenly opened his eyes. He sat up straight, his sharp gaze fixed on her. "Wait a minute, I have something to ask you."

"Ask me what? You can ask me now." Lin Yuanqing was puzzled.

Yu Shinan took out a cigarette from his pocket, tapped the cigarette butt on the back of his hand, and instead of asking questions, he bit the cigarette and lit it.

In the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, a commotion suddenly broke out in the hall. A man with a neat buzz cut walked in, dressed in a smart shirt and trousers, a typical member of the elite class.

"Brother Nan." Cui Wenxuan stood respectfully beside Yu Shinan. Although he was nearly five years older than Yu Shinan, he still addressed him as Brother Nan.

After the Yu family fell from power, everyone scattered, and only a few remained, Cui Wenxuan being one of them.

This person was unassuming and didn't show off much. Lin Yuanqing didn't really have a deep impression of him. It was only later that she learned that he was the one managing the Silver Bay Hotel for Yu Shinan.

"Conclusion." Yu Shinan looked up at him, without wasting any words.

"The hotel has a requirement to retain samples, and all samples from the kitchen have been tested regularly, and there were no problems. Therefore, there is no problem with the food in the kitchen," Cui Wenxuan said, handing the report to Yu Shinan.

Yu Shinan glanced at it, said nothing, and waited for him to continue.

"But we detected abortion pills in the kitchen waste." Cui Wenxuan handed another test report to Yu Shinan.

When the words "abortion pills" were mentioned, Lin Yuanqing's head buzzed. However, before she could ask any questions, Cui Wenxuan continued.

"I reviewed all the CCTV footage here today. Ms. Lin only appeared in one segment during the meal service; the rest of the time, the waiters served her without ever letting go of her hands."

"Cui Wenxuan, what do you mean by that?" Lin Yuanqing's voice suddenly became sharp upon hearing this.

Cui Wenxuan glanced at her sideways. "Miss Fu's blood tested positive for abortion pills. She got drugged at the Silver Bay Hotel; she's got some nerve. So far, besides all the staff I've contacted, the only other person I've seen is Miss Lin."

"You mean I gave Fu Sichen abortion pills?" Lin Yuanqing was speechless. "I didn't even know she was pregnant, why would I give her abortion pills?"

Lin Yuanqing's gaze suddenly shifted to Yu Shinan. "You made me wait just to hear this? You can ask me any questions you have now! But Fu Sichen's miscarriage has absolutely nothing to do with me. Let's not even talk about how I didn't know she was pregnant. Even if I did know she was pregnant, why would I drug her to prevent her from giving birth?"

Yu Shinan looked up at Lin Yuanqing, his dark eyes deep and his brows slightly furrowed.

There is no direct stake in the matter.

Indeed, as Lin Yuanqing said, Fu Sichen's pregnancy has nothing to do with Lin Yuanqing!

The man pressed his finger to his brow. "I didn't say it had anything to do with you. Adding drugs to the hotel's food is a big no-no."

"That doesn't necessarily mean someone else put it there. Maybe she didn't want the child and took the pill to abort it herself." Lin Yuanqing pursed her lips, looking particularly aggrieved.

Yu Shinan didn't want to continue this discussion.

Stepping out of the Silver Bay Hotel, Lin Yuanqing took a deep breath, her palms sweating. She was truly glad that she had done everything so decisively, leaving no trace.

It's fortunate that Fu Sichen didn't tell the truth, otherwise it would have been too easy for him to be exposed.

Lin Yuanqing looked down at Fu Sichen's phone in her hand, gritted her teeth, and put it away.

Yu Shinan looked at Cui Wenxuan, "Si Chen said she didn't take abortion pills herself."

"But the hotel staff really didn't know about Miss Fu's pregnancy and had no motive to do so," Cui Wenxuan stated truthfully.

Yu Shinan nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Find out the situation of the Han family in recent years and report back to me in detail."

Cui Wenxuan nodded, then remembered something before leaving, "Brother Nan, you saved Chen Da last time. There are no secrets that can be kept forever; the news has already reached Wei Jingwu's ears. He already doesn't trust you, and he'll probably use Chen Da's matter to cause you trouble."

"Wei Jingwu wants to cause me trouble, but he always manages to find a reason." Yu Shinan rubbed his temples. "Be careful and try not to cause trouble. But keep a close eye on Chen Da and see whose people, besides Wei Jingwu's, are going to bother him."

……

Fu Sichen called Han Yi that evening to apologize.

"What's the use of an apology? Just tell the truth and clarify. I'm not going to be a sucker." Han Yi snorted. "Fu Sichen, do you think I was born with a green hat on my head?"

"Han Yi, if you help me this time, I'll help you in the future if you ever encounter difficulties, okay?" Fu Sichen pleaded. "I won't give birth to this child, so naturally I won't let you become a father for no reason. After this is over, you are you, and I am me, and our lives will not be affected in any way."

"You're determined not to reveal who it is, right?" Han Yi asked curiously. "Tell me who it is, and I'll consider whether to help you."

"I can't say. I really can't say."

"Okay, goodbye then."

"Han Yi!" Fu Sichen called out to him, "Don't rush to reject me. Think about it yourself, what is it that you need me to do for you? We can benefit each other, right?"
