Chapter 541 The Broken-Legged Rat
Ye Mama's whole body turned cold. She didn't even dare to think about it.
"Are you suspecting the two masters?"
Ye Shenge shook her head. Both masters were so old, what reason would they have to fight or compete for anything?
"It shouldn't be them, but it's definitely someone very, very close to us. Someone who can at least hear the discussions between me and the two masters."
"Don't overthink it for now. Let Zi Yisheng and the others handle it."
Ye Mama was afraid her daughter would get too anxious.
"I'm worried about the children now. What if that person is right beside them?"
"Don't worry, don't worry. The children have many people around them now. If there's a hidden person, won't they be discovered?"
Actually, Ye Mama's words were not reassuring even to herself.
Soon, Ouyang personally returned to get the documents. Ye Shenge told her everything she had discovered. Ouyang didn't dare to say anything and left with the items.
Ye Shenge slumped onto the sofa, silent. She was truly fed up with this kind of life. She felt that if it continued, she would die from this matter sooner or later.
When Zi Yisheng saw the content his wife had written, he directly threw the documents. He smiled self-deprecatingly. How unpopular was he to be betrayed again and again?
"Young Master Zi, do you want to screen them again?"
"Investigate. I want to see who this deeply hidden person is. Also, investigate the origin of this document and see who was so kind as to obtain all of this."
Just then, the office phone rang. Ouyang answered it and quickly covered the receiver.
"Young Master Zi, it's old man Baili."
Zi Yisheng was quite surprised. Was this considered starting a frontal war?
"Young Master Zi, how have you been lately?"
"Thanks to you, I'm quite well. I just don't know how you are, old man?"
"Hahahaha, you little rascal, you've always been a sly one since you started making a name for yourself in Mingcheng. I've fallen hard on you over the years."
Zi Yisheng took a sip of tea and leaned back in his chair, relaxing naturally. The old fellow sounded quite energetic.
"Not at all, I've always respected you. After all, you're a prominent figure in Mingcheng."
"I'm old, old. The future belongs to you young people."
Zi Yisheng's eyes narrowed, and his tone changed.
"Since you know it's our generation's world, why are you still wandering around? With crippled legs, you should just be a broken-legged rat in a corner."
"Hmph, Zi Yisheng, Zi Yisheng, you're not pretending anymore. I really don't know why you've always been against me. This is my struggle with the higher-ups, why are you involved?"
"It's everyone's duty to fight against you. You've earned public indignation by how you've lived."
"How about we make a deal? You stop now, and when I get what I want, you can still stay in your position. It won't affect you in any way."
"Not a good deal. This rightfully belongs to me. You don't have the ability to bring me down."
"So, you're unwilling to negotiate? If that's the case, you'll have to prepare to face the consequences. I wonder how much longer your wife's body can hold up."
Zi Yisheng couldn't stand anyone threatening him with his wife. This war had to be won by him, and he would personally kill this old man.
"You truly deserve to die."
"No, no, no, I don't deserve to die. Rather, your wife should have died years ago. Are you sure the problems behind her have been resolved? Hahahaha."
The phone was hung up. Zi Yisheng could no longer sit still. The poisonous刺 (thorn) behind his wife had been completely removed years ago, and three doctors had dealt with it.
"Ouyang, do you remember Dr. Wei who detoxified Shenge back then? Is he still alive?"
"I remember him. He was an old expert who was abandoned by Young Master Zi because of his granddaughter. After more than ten years, it's uncertain if he's still alive. Shall I inquire?"
"As long as he's alive, I need to see him. He's very crucial. We need to find his daughter and granddaughter as well, among the three people from back then."
"Yes, I'll go immediately."
"Wait, check on Old Fan and Old Dang."
Ouyang was surprised because these two elders would never harm Ye Shenge; they cherished her more than anything.
"I know what you're thinking, but now we must eliminate everyone close to us."
"Yes, by eliminating all possibilities, the truth will remain."
"Also, contact the exclusive doctors from above. I want Shenge to have a comprehensive examination."
Ye Muen and Ye Huaijin also received the news immediately. The Ye Shenge incident had escalated further.
"I've found at least two poison production sites belonging to old man Baili. The raw materials inside are what we intercepted before."
"Very good. The analysis of all the drugs here will be out tonight. Cutting them off at the source is the most important thing."
Without raw materials, what kind of poison could be manufactured? Wasn't he afraid that old man Baili would be pushed to a corner?
"Yisheng, why haven't we been able to catch the crippled old man Baili until now? Even if he disguises himself, it doesn't change his legs."
Zi Yisheng rubbed his aching head. The Baili family could never be judged by common sense; they always followed a "wicked" path.
"Then let's change the way we search. This time, we'll not only look for those with crippled legs but also in the darkest places. After all, he's a broken-legged rat."
"Dark places? Like secret rooms or hidden passages?"
As far as Ye Muen knew, their people had searched even the underground tunnels.
"For example, beggars, homeless people, those who sit there sorting through trash every day."
Ye Shenge was surprised when her husband brought several strangers home. Moreover, these people were clearly carrying medical equipment. It seemed something was wrong with her.
"Yisheng, what's wrong?"
"Mom, it's nothing. We're just giving Shenge a routine check-up. You should do one too."
He had no choice but to let his mother-in-law go through some trouble as well, otherwise, he couldn't hide it from his wife.
"Oh, okay. Did the house find anything poisonous?"
"Mom, you know my position. Protecting myself and my family's safety is the top priority, and this is their duty."
Ye Shenge observed her husband's expression from the side. They had been together for over ten years; how could she be fooled? Especially after seeing her mother's blood drawn, Ye Shenge voluntarily rolled up her sleeves.
"Madam, have you felt anything unusual recently?"
"No. My heart condition is an old problem. As long as I control my emotions well, there won't be any issues."
Clearly, this elderly man in his sixties or seventies was in charge. He first took her pulse, then examined any exposed skin for conditions.
"Does it hurt where I'm pressing?"
"No."
"What about here?"
"Hiss~~"
The old doctor pressed a spot near Ye Shenge's carotid artery and noticed an unusual reaction. He glanced at Zi Yisheng discreetly.
"Madam's body appears fine for now. Once the blood test results are out, we'll be able to rule out any contact with toxic substances."
"Thank you for your trouble. Please eliminate all possibilities."
Ye Shenge didn't speak again and didn't even change her expression.
