Chapter 631 Waiting for the Mastermind
Ye Mu'en arrived quickly, almost at the same time as the other person. Neither of them brought anyone this time. As soon as they got out of the car, they saw a strange woman being dragged out.
"What's going on? Who is she?"
The estate had passed its harvest season, and these few days were considered a holiday, with only a caretaker left.
"Let's talk inside."
This estate was a gift from Uncle Bai to his wife. It was vast, and the residential house was built quite exquisitely. However, his wife had not visited it even once.
They brought the woman inside and threw her in the hallway, then sat down.
"This woman threatened Chen Xi, telling him to find out Sheng Ge's secret and hand it over to her..."
Ye Mu'en's face grew more somber as he listened, his mind constantly pondering how they could have been noticed.
"Except for when Sheng Ge was a bit conspicuous while hiding from the flood on the mountain, I've rarely used it otherwise."
"Let's question her first and see who is behind her."
Ye Mu'en took the medicine bag and pried open the mouth of the person on the ground, not letting a drop spill outside.
Meng Wanwan slowly woke up, but her eyes quickly became vacant.
"Who instructed you to approach Bai Chen Xi?"
"Mr. Feng."
"Tell me more."
"I don't know. Mr. Feng only appeared the first time I met him; the rest of the time, we communicated by phone."
Zi Yi Sheng felt somewhat dejected. It was inconvenient for them to investigate domestic matters while abroad, and they would also attract the attention of special departments, escalating the issue.
Ye Mu'en continued to question her, knowing she couldn't know nothing.
"He just wants to know Ye Sheng Ge's secret. Is it necessary to go through all this trouble? Why target Bai Chen Xi instead of Ye Sheng Ge directly, which would be more convenient?"
"Mr. Feng said that Ye Sheng Ge values her family and children the most. If she were threatened with her children, she might reveal the secret. Nothing else would be a sufficient threat. Bai Chen Xi was the best candidate; other Bai family members didn't interact much with women. Ye Mu'en was even less suitable, though in fact, he was the best choice."
"Did he give any hint about the secret? What if Ye Sheng Ge gave you a false secret and deceived you?"
"That's what angers me the most. However, he did mention something, 'Sleeve Hidden Universe'."
Ye Mu'en and Zi Yi Sheng felt disheartened, having previously wondered if they were overthinking things.
"How do you contact him now that you are abroad?"
"Mr. Feng seems to be abroad. Since I arrived in Mong Kon, he has called my hotel room several times. I saw the number was local."
Zi Yi Sheng adjusted his glasses. As long as he was abroad, it was manageable.
"Where is Mu Mu's birth mother?"
"She is with Mr. Feng. He said he would release that woman once the mission was completed."
"Do you have any way to contact him if you have an urgent matter?"
"No, I didn't have any urgent matters before."
Ye Mu'en stood up, and Zi Yi Sheng followed.
"You go and guard Sheng Ge. This person might lash out in desperation and abduct her. I'll handle the rest. We'll keep in touch by phone."
"Alright, I'll have Ah Hong bring people to assist you. Be careful."
Ye Mu'en picked up the woman and left, while Zi Yi Sheng rushed back to the hospital.
Ye Mu'en first disguised them, helping the woman, who appeared drunk, towards the hotel rooms, uncertain if anyone was monitoring them.
Ah Hong quickly led a team to the hotel and subtly blended into various corners.
Upon entering the room, Ye Mu'en placed the woman on the floor and first checked for any listening devices. He found one under the coffee table. It seemed that person was not entirely trusting of Meng Wanwan.
Ye Mu'en didn't touch the listening device but quietly opened the door and left. He called Ah Hong in the stairwell to give him some instructions.
Returning, he knocked the person on the ground unconscious, dragged her into the bathroom, bound her, gagged her, and left her there.
Not long after, A Ning arrived in men's clothing. The door was unlocked, so he quickly entered.
While waiting, Ye Mu'en had already drafted several plans. After A Ning read them, he nodded and stayed by the phone.
Zi Yi Sheng returned to the hospital just in time for dinner. Ye Ma and Qu Huan Huan were there, engaged in a lively conversation.
"Yi Sheng, have you eaten?"
"Not yet. Is there still some for me?"
"Yes, today we made fish porridge and steamed shrimp dumplings, all of Sheng Ge's favorites. She's been craving seafood lately, so we have to satisfy her first."
"Is Mrs. Zi satisfied?"
"Very satisfied."
Zi Yi Sheng leaned in and kissed his wife first. Ye Ma and Qu Huan Huan were long accustomed to it.
Especially Qu Huan Huan, she understood what true love was. If she and Ye Mu'en could have one percent of their affection, it would be enough, but she was already content.
"Hurry and wash your hands. You've been out, so it's not hygienic."
Ye Ma was now worried about her daughter catching an infection. Every time she entered the ward, she washed her hands several times. If it weren't for the inconvenience, she would change her clothes on the spot before contacting her daughter.
After washing his hands, Zi Yi Sheng took the porridge from his sister-in-law and ate heartily. Since his wife couldn't have an extra meal at night, he finished his portion completely.
"Mom, can you look after the children for me tonight?"
"You're staying overnight?"
"Yes, I haven't chatted with Sheng Ge in a long time. I want to talk with her more tonight."
Ye Ma was a bit puzzled, as he had already spent the entire day with her. What else was there to talk about?
"Alright, I'll have the driver take me home later, and I'll take the children to school tomorrow."
"Little Mi'er will definitely complain to you tonight. Her language talent is really poor."
"It's not poor, she just hasn't put her heart into learning. She's the smartest among the children. The smarter they are, the more mischievous they become."
Ye Sheng Ge giggled. Even her mother was now finding ways to talk about Little Mi'er's shortcomings. It seemed she had angered her grandmother recently.
Ye Ma didn't stay long and left with her daughter-in-law, not wanting to disturb the couple's affection. Although her daughter had endured much physical suffering, she had found a rare love in this world.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw the person waiting outside. Ye Ma frowned and glanced back at Zi Yi Sheng. He nodded at her, indicating something had happened again.
Her son-in-law didn't say anything on the spot, meaning it was inconvenient. She could only leave with a stomach full of questions.
"Mom, why are there extra security guards tonight?"
"Who knows? Perhaps it's because Yi Sheng is here tonight, so they've increased security."
It was clearly for her daughter's protection. Oh, it was making her anxious. Who would dare to harm her daughter!
"How is it? Did you find anything out?"
Ye Sheng Ge had also been holding her breath. As soon as the others left, she asked in a low voice.
Zi Yi Sheng wanted to hold her, but he had been out and was likely dirty.
"She doesn't know much, only mentioning a Mr. Feng who instructed her and something called 'Sleeve Hidden Universe'. Big Brother is at the hotel waiting for contact. I'll go take a shower and change, then I'll tell you the details."
"Okay, go ahead."
Ye Sheng Ge lay on the bed, thinking about the man named Feng and his knowledge of her spatial secret. Those who knew her secret either saw her use it or heard about it from someone.
