Chapter 180 -180: Call Log
Tang Yu came back to her senses, reached out, and took Li Xue’s phone in front of her.
Besides lowering the screen, the screen brightened, displaying a digital unlock.
The screen could switch the unlocking method, and she tapped on the bottom right corner, changing it to gesture unlock.
Tang Yu looked at the pattern on the screen, her finger poised to unlock it, then hesitated, as if contemplating.
“Don’t know?” Standing in front of her, Ye Sihan watched her intently, his presence overwhelmingly oppressive from above.
“I know, but I’ve never unlocked it, so my hand feels unfamiliar,” said Tang Yu calmly, frowning slightly as she continued to stare at the screen.
Just as Tang Yu’s finger was about to start swiping, Xibao with a bang collided into the cabinet next to her and rolled out several circles, then sat on the ground looking dazed.
At first, she was stunned, then she burst into loud wails.
“Xibao!” Tang Yu stood up worriedly.
Ye Sihan was quicker than her, and in one swift motion, he picked up Xibao, holding her chubby little body with one arm, and with his other hand, he touched her head, “Did you hit here?”
Xibao cried with sobs, “Mm!”
Ye Sihan saw the redness on her forehead, which seemed like just a bump, not serious enough for a concussion.
He rubbed it for her, “It’s okay, all better now.”
At this point, Tang Yu could no longer focus on her daughter and quickly unlocked the phone.
When she saw Ye Sihan turning around, her heart nearly stopped, her nerves strung to their utmost limit, panic written all over her face.
Junjun timely threw herself at Xibao, “Xibao needs a ‘huff huff,’ the pain will go poof poof.”
Ye Sihan slightly furrowed his brows, the normally astute man feeling clumsy for the first time.
“Like this!” Zhengzheng ran in front of Haohao, puckered his little mouth in front of Haohao’s forehead, and blew out two breaths. “The pain will fly away now!”
Ye Sihan had never done such a thing, but seeing Xibao’s pitiful, teary eyes, it seemed if he didn’t, she would continue to wail loudly.
So he could only resign himself to “huff huff” twice on her forehead.
“You have to say the pain has flown away!” insisted Junjun.
Ye Sihan gave Junjun a cold glance, then blew out another breath and said, “The pain has flown away.”
“Mmm!” Xibao stopped crying, her eyes sparkling, then she planted a kiss on Ye Sihan’s face.
The kiss left Ye Sihan’s face wet with saliva and tears. He froze, looking at Xibao, who had stopped crying and was now smiling, his feelings so complex that he couldn’t fathom them himself.
What was that fleeting moment of distraction about?
Was it because of the child he had lost?
Ye Sihan collected his thoughts. After all, she wasn’t his child; there was no need to think so much.
He couldn’t help but look back to see Tang Yu standing there, her eyes clear, the tiny flecks of light within them twinkling, making his black pupils grow even deeper.
Before Ye Sihan turned around, Tang Yu had just put down the phone, so at this moment, her heart was in turmoil. Fortunately, she masked it well and asked, “What is it?”
“Don’t you like them very much? The child got hurt, and you had no reaction?” asked Ye Sihan.
These weren’t words of reprimand but of suspicion.
“I… saw you consoling her, I got lost in the moment, seeing you like that for the first time,” Tang Yu’s voice was filled with emotion.
Ye Sihan’s dark eyes were profound, and his face impassive, it was unclear what he was thinking.
The four children looked here and there, curious yet serious.
Just as Tang Yu’s fervently calmed heartbeat was about to become chaotic again in this tense and oppressive atmosphere, she saw Ye Sihan put down the child in his arms.
“Unlocked?” he asked.
“Ah, I remember now.” Tang Yu held the phone, entered the digital code, “Couldn’t think of the gesture, but I remembered the numbers.”
After unlocking it, she didn’t look at the content but directly handed the phone to Ye Sihan.
Ye Sihan checked the phone’s private content, then his dark pupils shook, his facial lines turning cold and hard.
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” asked Tang Yu, perplexed.
“Nothing at all,” Ye Sihan said in a deep voice, his dark eyes deep.
Tang Yu’s face showed surprise and shock, “What?”
“The phone was reset to factory settings.”
“Did you do this?” asked Tang Yu.
Only the murderer would do such a thing.
She could only wrong someone like this, after all, she had always thought that Ye Sihan was the murderer.
Ye Sihan’s expression turned cold, “Do you have a brain?”
Though Tang Yu didn’t speak, her face was ugly with anger.
To say she had no brain!
Watching as Ye Sihan turned and left, exiting the room.
It indeed was illogical.
A murderer giving her the phone to unlock, wasn’t he afraid of any incriminating evidence inside?
There was no time to destroy the evidence!
However, from another perspective, the murderer Ye Sihan was overly confident, believing that he left no trace behind, which is why he purposely let Tang Yu unlock it.
Tang Yu believed the latter.
Because Ye Sihan’s power was too great, destroying evidence would be extremely easy for him!
“Mommy?”
Tang Yu turned around to see the four little ones in front of her, crouched down, and rubbed their little cheeks, “It’s all right now. You all did great just now!”
The four little ones, praised by mommy, immediately had stars in their eyes, thrilled to the core.
Tang Yu had quickly unlocked the phone while the four little ones were distracting Ye Sihan, and immediately reset it to factory settings.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to delete all the photos and videos in such a short time.
But, with the traces of the four little ones’ existence gone, everything else was gone too.

What if there were evidence of the murderer’s crime?
No, even if there was, Ye Sihan would make it disappear.
Unless all was done behind the scenes, then there might be a slim chance.
However, more than an hour later, a knock sounded, “Miss Tang, Mr. Ye invites you to his study.”
Tang Yu felt uneasy, what did he want her to do in the study?
She stood up and walked towards the door, Xibao put down the paintbrush, while Junjun, Zhengzheng, and Haohao laid aside their toys and quickly followed.
Like personal bodyguards.
“Stay in the room, I’ll be back soon,” Tang Yu stopped the four little ones, then left the room.
On the way to the study, Tang Yu speculated about the purpose of Ye Sihan’s summons.
Could it be he had discovered other clues?
Standing in front of the study door, she knocked twice, and after being granted permission, pushed the door open and entered.
The spacious study was brightly lit, and a dark figure sat imposingly on the large sofa, exuding an aura that was deep and inviolable, intimidating those around him.
Tang Yu steadied her mind and approached, “What did you want to see me for?”
“What time is it? How long do you plan to stay with them?” Ye Sihan’s sharp gaze pierced her, carrying the pressure of someone in command.
“My heart is heavy, and I want to sleep with them tonight. May I?” Tang Yu requested.
Ye Sihan’s dark pupils stared at her unblinkingly.
“I’m upset because of Sister Xue. And besides, I can’t share a bed with the man who killed Sister Xue. I hope you can understand,” Tang Yu reasoned, believing her emotions to be quite stable and her demeanor to be agreeable.
She was, of course, devastated about the loss of a child, and she phrased her words cautiously to avoid Ye Sihan bringing up the matter of having children again.
Although she had no intention of bearing children for him, it was best to avoid the topic if possible.
Ye Sihan looked at her, his silent presence immensely suffocating.
Tang Yu held her gaze downward, her demeanor resolute.
After a moment, Ye Sihan’s deep voice broke the silence, “These are Li Xue’s recent call records, check if there are any issues.”
