Chapter 104 The Foolish Fool Acts Foolishly
By the time the siblings emerged from the secret passage, it was past ten in the evening. Han Yuyan, who had been lying on the ground, had also woken up and was struggling desperately against the zip ties binding his hands and feet, utterly bewildered as to how such a narrow and short plastic strap could be so strong.
Ye Shengyue watched him wriggle on the ground like a caterpillar with amusement. She felt a sense of accomplishment that she could even subdue the former soldier like this; it was truly remarkable. Su Dan Novel Net.
Ye Mu'en pulled a small knife from his pocket and, with a couple of swift cuts, severed the zip ties on Han Yuyan’s limbs.
“If you’re not dead, get up quickly.”
Upon seeing that it was Mu Zi, Han Yuyan sat up, ripped off the tape from his mouth, and began to curse.
“Damn it, Mu Zi, you’re the one who knocked me out! You’re heartless! I came all this way looking for you.”
However, as he vaguely made out the person behind Mu Zi, he immediately stood up and quickly tidied his disheveled appearance.
“Pretty girl, is that you?”
Ye Shengyue rolled her eyes dramatically. She couldn't believe this man had such a name for himself. Why not call himself "Pretty Flower Girl" while he was at it?
“Ahem, what pretty girl? Think before you speak.”
Ye Mu'en gave Han Yuyan a smack on the head. How dare this fellow have designs on his sister! He had to put a stop to it.
“Ouch, Mu Zi, I haven’t even settled accounts with you yet. Why did you knock me out!”
“Um, I’m sorry, I was the one who knocked you out.”
Ye Shengyue felt no guilt whatsoever for electrocuting Han Yuyan. He was just unlucky to have crossed her path.
Han Yuyan was stunned. Was the pretty girl this capable?
“Um, hehe, it’s okay, it’s okay. You must not have meant to.”
‘I absolutely meant to,’ Ye Shengyue grumbled inwardly.
Ye Mu'en couldn’t stand to see Han Yuyan’s foolish demeanor any longer.
“You go back to the guesthouse first. I’ll take Shengyue home.”
“She’s Ye Shengyue! The person you were looking for is the pretty girl!”
Ye Mu'en clenched his fist, contemplating whether to knock this imbecile out again. Furthermore, Ye Mu'en had deliberately not referred to her as his sister in front of Han Yuyan; the guy was already this dumb, he couldn't let him know anything.
The most crucial point was the dangerous path ahead. His overt search for his sister had already been a grave mistake. He just hadn't been aware of the conspiracies at first, only driven by the desire to find her.
Han Yuyan, for once, tried to retort to Mu Zi. He had finally gotten a chance to explain himself to the pretty girl, how could he possibly miss it?
“Why don’t we go together? It’s a good opportunity for me to explain the misunderstanding from last time to Shengyue.”
“Explain what? People like you staying up late at night, just get lost quickly.”
Ye Shengyue chuckled behind her elder brother. This Han Yuyan seemed different in front of her brother, like a little fool.
Han Yuyan, feeling wronged, was kicked again and quickly scaled the wall to leave. He didn’t want to continue embarrassing himself in front of the pretty girl. Mu Zi was really something, why couldn't he save him some face?
Ye Shengyue watched Han Yuyan’s agile escape and shook her head.
“Brother, is he an idiot? Why climb over the wall when there’s a door?”
Ye Mu'en ruffled his sister’s hair.
“Don’t mind him. He just likes acting foolish when he has nothing else to do. Let’s go, staying up too late isn’t good for your health.”
As the two approached Mo Lin’s house, there was still some commotion in the courtyard.
Ye Shengyue gently knocked on the door, which was immediately opened.
“Sister, why are you back so late today? I…”
Mo Lin saw someone behind Ye Shengyue and immediately stopped speaking, looking at the newcomer defensively. Luo Hansheng also walked over, his gaze fixed intently on Ye Mu'en.
