Chapter 2178

After finishing the meal and waiting for Zimo to return to rest, Wen Yu went to the hall.

The hall was still empty, with only the male servant hiding in the corner, wiping the floor.

Wen Yu’s heart tightened, and her gaze fell on the tightly closed study door.

At this moment, Mu Xuri and Ning Anran were not present, and there was no one else in the hall, making it an ideal time to investigate.

Wen Yu quietly walked over, reached for the doorknob, and twisted it a few times; the door was locked.

Mu Xuri was indeed cautious; he would always lock the door upon leaving the study.

She pulled out a card from her pocket, imitating the way others unlock doors, and slid it along the door edge.

When she moved the card to the lock position, she sensed something blocking it.

She pushed hard, and with a clicking sound, the lock surprisingly opened.

Wen Yu quickly slipped inside and closed the door behind her.

Inside the study, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

She walked swiftly to Mu Xuri’s desk and began flipping through the documents placed there.

However, all the documents were basically information about Mu Corporation, even the confidential ones were only related to the company.

After searching through the desk and drawers, Wen Yu didn’t find anything she wanted.

Finally, her gaze fell on the computer with a black screen.

Mu Xuri’s computer wasn’t turned off, and Wen Yu’s heartbeat quickened in an instant.

She picked up the mouse, moved it a few times, and the password input interface appeared on the computer.

Indeed, Mu Xuri was still very careful.

She lifted her hand and lightly tapped on the keyboard, entering Mu Xuri’s birthday.

Password incorrect…

She tried entering Mu Xuri’s name, but the password was still incorrect.

Wen Yu tried a dozen possible characters, but none of them were correct.

After so many years, it seemed Mu Xuri had always been guarding against her.

Even the password setup wasn’t something she could think of.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t a computer expert and didn’t know how to access the computer without a password to check it.

She felt a bit frustrated; it was such a rare opportunity and she ended up empty-handed.

Suddenly, she heard murmurings outside the study.

Wen Yu was startled and quickly walked quietly to the door, pressing her ear against it to listen.

“Do you know where Lady Wen Yu is?” a girl asked.

“I don’t know.” The voice sounded like that of the male servant.

“Did she come down from her room?” the girl asked again.

“Didn’t notice.”

There was no more speaking outside, and from the sound of it, the girl seemed to be stepping up the stairs to the second floor.

Wen Yu dared not linger; she grasped the door handle and gently twisted it.

The door opened a crack, and she peeked; indeed, the girl was not outside.

Without much thought, she immediately walked out.

With a snap behind her, the study door locked completely.

Fortunately, she heard the sound, or she might have been discovered.

She breathed a sigh of relief and walked toward the yard.

“Madam.”

Wen Yu had just taken two steps when she heard a voice call from behind.

She looked back and saw Tian walking down from the second floor.

It seemed it was Tian who had been inquiring with the male servant in the hall earlier.

Wen Yu glanced at the male servant; he was still busily working, his mind not on this side at all.

She understood that this male servant belonged to Jiu, otherwise, he wouldn’t have helped her.

“Madam, where did you go just now?”

Tian came to Wen Yu’s side, looking at her with puzzled eyes.

Wen Yu, unruffled, casually said, “Just now, I was in the kitchen, planning to go out for a walk.”

Tian acknowledged with a hum, but the doubt on her face didn’t diminish at all.
