Chapter 179 Ye Mu En Fakes His Death
Ye Mu En, however, was considering the dangers of this trip. In his past life, due to his identity, he had never been abroad. Language wouldn't be an issue, but the dangers of the journey were.
"How do I get out?"
Zi Yi Sheng touched his nose, feeling guilty.
"Smuggle myself out."
"Go to hell, you're throwing me into a fire."
Zi Yi Sheng knew he was making things difficult for his elder brother-in-law, but neither he nor anyone around him could leave. If they were discovered, they would be charged with numerous capital offenses, giving the opposition more opportunities to strike.
"I have no choice. The Bai family excels at everything except having children. So, they keep one visible heir domestically, while the real heir is trained in secret abroad. I need this person to completely uproot them in the future. Only you, my elder brother-in-law, have the capability. But you'll need to fake your death first, to erase your current identity. Then, you can use your new identity to go to Bai Rong Xiang upon your return."
Ye Mu En ran his fingers through his hair. He knew he had to go this time because his father was tied to the old man. If Zi Yi Sheng failed, his father and even the Bai family wouldn't fare well.
"Fine, how many people can I bring?"
"Including you, there are five spots. I will prepare money and weapons for you. After you complete the mission, someone will arrange your return."
"I can't hide this mission from my family, especially Sheng Ge. If I fake my death without telling her, she won't be able to handle it."
Zi Yi Sheng's heart ached again, but he understood the importance of the mission.
"I understand. I will arrange for some members of the Bai family to fake their deaths and leave soon."
"Then let my mother come and stay with Sheng Ge. She won't be used to it if I'm not around."
Zi Yi Sheng felt like attacking his elder brother-in-law, who was blatantly showing off his importance in the little girl's heart.
"Aunt Bai can't come back yet. Your fourth uncle also needs to go abroad, so you'll need to escort him safely out of the country this time."
"I didn't know Fourth Uncle was also going abroad?"
"He will stay abroad permanently. After all, the Bai family's overseas industries need to be managed by their own people."
Ye Mu En nodded. He had only met a few members of the Bai family since waking up, and his feelings for them weren't deep.
"Han Yu Yan cannot be among those leaving this time."
"I know."
After all, the Han family was also a clan. No matter how close they were privately, they couldn't know too much.
They returned very late. Zi Yi Sheng couldn't resist sneaking into the little girl's room. He watched her sleep soundly, sitting by her bedside, captivated. He only returned to his own room when dawn was breaking.
Ye Sheng Ge slept until noon the next day. When she opened her eyes, she saw her elder brother sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.
"You're awake. You sure can sleep."
Ye Sheng Ge sat up and stretched, wondering why her brother was in her room.
"Did something happen?"
Ye Mu En, weary of his sister's sensitivity, understood why he didn't want to hide anything from her.
"Yes, I have to go out for a while."
Ye Mu En told his sister everything from the previous night, without any concealment.
Ye Sheng Ge stared for a long moment, needing her young brain to process the information. Ye Mu En didn't disturb her. He got up and went downstairs to bring up some food.
Ye Sheng Ge was a little unhappy, and a little angry with Zi Yi Sheng. But her brother had already explained the reasons why he had to go, so what else could she do? She had to accept it.
Ye Mu En sighed, watching his sister eat with little appetite.
"I will definitely come back safely. I'll bring you lots of gifts when I return, okay?"
"I don't need any gifts. You have to swear that you'll return safely."
Ye Sheng Ge hated this world sometimes. Why were there so many troubles? Couldn't they just live peacefully? She cursed the bad people in her heart, wishing they would die and be reborn quickly.
Ye Mu En quickly reached out and swore. He would definitely return safely, no matter what.
"I'm going into my space to prepare some things for you. Why didn't you prepare any weapons back then? The most powerful thing in my space now is a stun gun. No, I need to ask Master to prepare some healing medicine for you. I'll make more sleeping pills and poisons for you."
Ye Mu En watched the little girl disappear in front of him, feeling helpless. She had prepared too much, and he couldn't possibly take it all.
Indeed, when Ye Sheng Ge came out, she had prepared two large bags of things, even some jerky. She had also prepared five large pots of well water. Ye Mu En scratched his head in helplessness, unable to bear refusing his sister's kindness.
"Alright, Big Brother will take all of it."
Ye Sheng Ge also prepared ten mini stun guns that wouldn't be noticeable when carried. She felt a little more at ease after personally watching her brother hide two of them on his person.
"I wish you had a space, so you could hide in it like me if there was any danger."
Ye Mu En hugged his sister and patted her back.
"It's lucky we have one in our family. We can't be greedy."
"Yes, be sure to stay safe."
"I will."
Seeing the little girl and her elder brother come downstairs, Zi Yi Sheng rushed to help them, only to be disdainfully rejected by the little girl. Zi Yi Sheng, knowing he was in the wrong, could only try to appease her subserviently.
That day, Mother Ye learned that her son was leaving. She accepted it readily after a three-second silence, even reminding her son to check on her overseas businesses and to use the profits to acquire more property. Thus, her son was the least valuable in the Ye family, at most a tool.
"So, do I have to pretend to cry myself to death in a few days? No, no, my acting skills are bad. I need to prepare some chili water in advance."
Ye Mu En's mouth twitched on the other end of the phone. Couldn't his mother focus on something more normal?
"Fortunately, Sheng Ge didn't return to the Ye family. Otherwise, she would have had to cry, and I wouldn't bear that."
Ye Mu En no longer wanted to listen.
"Yes, Mom, take care of yourself. Don't act too real, you might hurt yourself."
The next day, Ming Cheng reported that Ye Mu En of the Ye family had heroically sacrificed himself while apprehending criminals. Many lamented the loss of such a valiant figure from the battlefield. Mother Ye collapsed and was admitted to the hospital, in a private room where no visitors were allowed. However, she was secretly munching on spicy chicken feet, a snack brought to her by her beloved daughter.
Three days later, Ye Mu En left with the four best fighters he had chosen, accompanied by the fourth son of the Bai family, a weakling who would only hold them back.
Ye Sheng Ge was dispirited at home for several days. Zi Yi Sheng acted meek and subservient for days before finally earning the little girl's forgiveness. He was once again certain that he could never anger the little girl, as she was too difficult to appease. The wounds on Ye Sheng Ge's hands had scabbed over. Her feet, treated with medicine from Master, were completely unswollen but still couldn't bear much weight. The bruises on her feet were frightening to look at.
