Chapter 329

The meeting ended quickly.

When she left, Shen Feiwan was preoccupied and did not respond even when Lin Xiaoyan called her.

Lin Xiaoyan strode forward and grabbed her wrist. "I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"

Shen Feiwan was forced to stop, coldly raising her eyes, "Didn't you see my expression that says I don't want to talk? Or do you want to discuss your shady plans here?"

"Shen Feiwan!" Lin Xiaoyan suddenly lowered his voice and shouted sharply, "Keep your voice down, don't say things you shouldn't say."

"Then shut up." Shen Feiwan shook off his hand and walked out without looking back.

Lin Xiaoyan frowned as he stared at her back, then suddenly quickened his pace and overtook her, arriving at the car first.

Shen Feiwan deliberately slowed down her pace, and it took her several minutes to reach the car.

She noticed that Lin Xiaoyan hadn't gotten into the car, but was standing outside the door waiting.

She reached for the back door, but Lin Xiaoyan grabbed her arm and pressed it down.

“Sit in the front.” Lin Xiaoyan’s tone left no room for argument.

Shen Feiwan knew she couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she expressionlessly opened the passenger door and got in. Lin Xiaoyan then walked around to the driver's seat.

Even after the car drove away, Lin Xiaoyan's tightly furrowed brows remained unchanged. "What did he say?"

Shen Feiwan kept her eyes fixed ahead, never looking at him, and said, “Seven words: Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.”

The air in the car froze instantly.

Lin Xiaoyan's hands gripping the steering wheel bulged with veins, and the car unconsciously sped up.

Shen Feiwan gazed at the fleeting scenery outside the window, a barely perceptible cold smile playing on her lips.

The red light ahead turned on, and Lin Xiaoyan slammed on the brakes.

He turned his head to look at Shen Feiwan, his eyes sharp, "Did you try to persuade him at all?"

Shen Feiwan met his gaze without backing down, "Of course I tried to persuade him. I genuinely want him to come home, unlike you, who are just going through the motions."

She sneered, "You two used to be friends, don't you really understand his personality at all?"

Lin Xiaoyan stared at Shen Feiwan in silence for several seconds, his eyes gradually turning cold. "He has no chance."

Shen Feiwan frowned, abruptly turned her head to look out the window, and stopped speaking.

A suffocating silence fell inside the car.

Lin Xiaoyan didn't speak until the car stopped in front of his house, "We're here, let's go home."

Shen Feiwan pushed open the car door without saying a word and walked into the house without looking back.

Lin Xiaoyan stared at her resolute back and suddenly honked the horn twice.

Shen Feiwan paused, then slowly turned around.

"I might not be back tonight," Lin Xiaoyan said, leaning out of the car window.

"Okay." Shen Feiwan replied coldly, then turned and went inside.

She only stayed in the bedroom for less than five minutes before rushing downstairs.

The nanny saw her carrying a bag and holding car keys and quickly came forward, "Madam, where are you going?"

"I'm going out for a bit." Shen Feiwan kept walking.

“But…” the nanny hesitated, “President Lin instructed that you are pregnant now and should stay at home to rest and recuperate, and let me take good care of you.”

Shen Feiwan stopped and looked coldly at the nanny. "So you're stopping me now?" Her voice was calm but carried a sense of pressure. "Am I living in prison here?"

The nanny's expression changed. "Madam, you're joking. This is your home, how could it be a prison..."

Shen Feiwan said no more and went straight to the garage.

As she started the car, she saw in the rearview mirror that the nanny was frantically making a phone call.

It's obvious who it was called without even guessing.

She quickly looked away and sped off.

Shen Feiwan returned to the Shen family home, retrieved the book "Dark Matter and Cosmic Strings" that Shen Xubai had mentioned, and had a leisurely lunch with her parents before taking the book to Chen Youen's place.

As soon as Chen Youen saw her enter, she immediately put the tablet on the table. "I found the sheet music for the third section of the second chapter of 'Deep Sea Song.' It's so long! Is this really it?"

Shen Feiwan had already turned to Chapter Seven of the book, and lightly tapped the page with her fingertip. "Try it and you'll see."

Her tone was calm, yet with a hint of certainty, as she explained to her close friend, "This is a puzzle game my siblings and I used to play when we were little. The seventh number in each line of the musical score corresponds to the corresponding text in the same line of a text. After deducing those texts, then..."

"That's great!" Chen Youen said impatiently. "Hurry up, stop dawdling."

Shen Feiwan looked up at her, raising an eyebrow slightly, "You seem even more anxious than I am."

"Hurry up!" Chen Youen urged.

Shen Feiwan said no more, lowered her head to compare the sheet music and the pages of the book, and gently slid her fingers across the paper.

Soon, she whispered the decoded text: "Do not doubt, you will eventually escape unscathed."

She frowned slightly, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the pages of the book, and murmured softly, "To escape unscathed... He was just as certain when we talked face to face."

Chen Youen's eyes lit up. "This means he knew exactly what was going on! He must have come up with this riddle a long time ago, definitely before his accident!"

She became more and more excited as she spoke, "Wanwan, Shen Xubai had long expected this day to come, but he just hadn't had the chance to tell you this mystery! He'll be alright!"

She finished speaking to herself, only to find that Shen Feiwan still had a sullen face and an unfathomable look in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Chen You'en was taken aback, then asked hesitantly, "Don't you believe him? Or... do you think you got the answer wrong?"
