Chapter 524 Chen Tangtang, Like a Mountain
Pang Pu Ce arrogantly walked into the Bai Tai Hotel with one person in each hand, startling the security guards who rushed over.
"Don't block the way, I'm here to find someone on the thirteenth floor, I've been here before."
No one dared to stop him after that. If they were truly bad guys, they wouldn't have even been able to reach the corridor. The security measures upstairs were extremely strict.
"Mr. Pang has arrived."
"Mm, is Zi Yi Sheng here? I've brought him two little shrimps."
A Hong quickly had the two half-dead people dragged away and smiled as he ushered Pang Pu Ce and his wife inside.
"Mr. Pang, you can speak freely in the room, but not in the corridor."
"Why?"
"There are listening devices."
Pang Pu Ce was about to curse when his wife pinched his face.
"I know, I know, don't be too rough, wifey."
"Oh right, prepare a room for us, we'll be staying here recently."
"No problem, Mr. Pang, please come in."
As Pang Pu Ce entered, he saw Zi Yi Sheng standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, exuding a suffocating aura.
"Tone down the aura, so you don't scare my wife."
Zi Yi Sheng turned and nodded at Fu Cun Xue first, then shot an annoyed glance at old Pang.
"Sheng Ge is in the bedroom. Sister-in-law, why don't you go in and chat with her?"
"Okay, how is her health?"
"Your Master's arrival can help control it, but her body is very weak."
Just then, the bedroom door opened, and Ye Ma walked out with a smile.
"Sheng Ge said she heard the voice of a new friend she made. Looking at how beautiful you are now, you must be Fu Cun Xue, right? Hello, I'm Sheng Ge's mother."
"Hello Auntie, I'm Fu Cun Xue. No wonder Sheng Ge is so beautiful, she takes after you."
"Hello Auntie, I'm Zi Yi Sheng's good friend Pang Pu Ce. Auntie can call me A Ce."
"Hello A Ce, you two chat, I'll take Cun Xue in."
After the bedroom door closed, old Pang sidled up to Zi Yi Sheng.
"Tsk tsk tsk, tell me, did you find your sister-in-law to change the Zi family's looks? Is your entire family blessed with superior looks?"
"Hmph, you're just stating the obvious. Apart from my father-in-law, who's a bit less impressive than me, even my brother-in-law is enviable, and I have six cousins, each more dashing than the last."
"Hahaha, I'm already looking forward to meeting the two children. With parents as stunning as you two, they must be incredibly beautiful."
"Hmph hmph, don't worry, your future children will definitely not be as good. The main thing is that you'll be holding your wife back."
After bickering for a while, they talked about the previous events. Especially when they learned that Ye Sheng Ge had almost died, old Pang volunteered to help.
"Forget it, you just accompany me now. There are some things that perhaps I, as an outsider, can see more clearly than you."
Inside the room, Fu Cun Xue was also furious. Her temper was not much better than old Pang's.
"Look, Sheng Ge never had this kind of spirit."
Ye Sheng Ge was speechless. With her current physical condition, she wouldn't have survived for three days if she had any spirit.
Ye Ma smiled beside them. Three out of their family of four had fiery tempers; only their daughter was the most gentle.
"Young Master Zi, the two people Mr. Pang captured are from the He family in Chenghai. They are confirmed to have participated in this series of operations."
"The He family, Zhao Jia Da's father-in-law. Well done, this is really something. Just how capable are they to have infiltrated so many influential families in our country?"
"I've already sent people to the He family. We should be able to uncover some more figures."
"Dig them all out!"
He had no need to be polite to these traitors. If they dared to do it, they had to bear his punishment.
Zi Yi Sheng picked up the phone and called the Bai family. It was Ye Mu En who answered.
"Brother, I've already discovered that the other party has infiltrated many areas of influence. You need to increase your efforts to investigate the situation in Chenghai. I want to see how many more people are willing to risk their lives for money."
"I've already sent people to investigate. Since I have your orders, I can let go completely."
"Don't hold back. Your task orders will be sent to you soon. Arrest anyone who resists."
Old Pang sat listening to Zi Yi Sheng make call after call, realizing at that moment what Zi Yi Sheng was enduring.
"Leader Zi, twenty locations of dangerous materials have been found in Chenghai City. Most are in deserted areas, but two are in densely populated areas. An explosion would result in hundreds of casualties at least."
"Good, very good. Increase police presence and search the entire city for strangers in the past six months, with priority given to those entering from abroad. Conduct three more sweeps for dangerous materials. I want every single one found."
"Yes. Also, it's been found that the newspapers in the dangerous materials are from a certain unit, but many people have access to newspapers, so we are still screening."
"I'll have someone interrogate them. Your task is the most crucial."
Chenghai City descended into chaos within an hour. Many people dared not go out onto the streets as numerous police cars with sirens blaring sped through the city.
Ren Xu Sheng was also in a frantic state. Even people from his unit were being investigated, and those with ties to the Zhao family and the He family were primary targets.
The hotel staff watched the comings and goings of people with bated breath, while also trying to calm the hotel's regular guests.
At this moment, Guyen was found, covered in dirt and with injuries on his face.
"I want to complain to the embassy. I have been treated inhumanely in your country. I protest."
Ouyang stood smiling in front of Guyen, his gentle demeanor carrying an oppressive force.
"Mr. Guyen, it is reasonable for you to complain to the embassy. In fact, I also wish to meet with your ambassador. After all, your wife has been confirmed to be a spy and has committed acts of terrorism in our country."
Guyen froze instantly, looking at Ouyang with disbelief.
"What are you talking about? My wife is nobility. Her family has been a prominent family in our country for hundreds of years. How could she possibly do something like this? Have you investigated thoroughly?"
Ouyang's smile never wavered as he took a document from someone nearby, all in English so Guyen could understand.
"How can this be? Impossible. Was I being used?"
"Whether you were used will be known after the investigation. Of course, we will notify the embassy to attend as observers."
"How could this be? I'm being framed."
Guyen was then taken away. Of course, such an interrogation was not something Ouyang could participate in.
"Whew~~~ These past few days have been brutal."
Ouyang wiped the sweat from his forehead and called home to report that he was safe.
"Ouyang Li, you're quite bold, not calling me for a few days. Are you only thinking about eating delicious food and forgetting about us poor souls at home?"
Ouyang chuckled, hearing his wife's increasingly demanding tone. What could he do? He spoiled her himself, so he had to bear the consequences.
"No, your husband is almost dead from exhaustion. Instead of caring about me, you only remember food."
"Oh, you're being exploited. Comrade Ouyang Li, your awareness is lacking. When the leader exploits you, it's a sign of trust and care. For my best friend's health, you should work harder."
Ouyang Li really wanted to put his plump wife on the bed and give her a good spanking right now. Truly, if she wasn't disciplined for three days, she'd start climbing the roof.
"By the way, is Sheng Ge having fun?"
"She's doing quite well. There's a lot of good food here, and Sheng Ge runs around every day looking for delicious things."
"Oh, you're making me so jealous. Sheng Ge is too disloyal, not bringing me along when she goes out to play. I'll call her later to scold her. If she doesn't bring me a box of good food, we're breaking off our friendship."
Ouyang felt a headache coming on. He shouldn't have made this call. His wife needed to rest. Once his wife started talking on the phone, it wouldn't be over for at least an hour. By the time Young Master Zi blamed him, it would surely be him suffering.
"Sheng Ge isn't at the hotel right now. I'll have her call you back later."
"She's that busy? But that's not right. Sheng Ge promised to call me as soon as she tasted anything delicious. It's been several days, and I haven't received her call. Could something have happened to her? Knock on wood, knock on wood, I'm jinxing it."
Ouyang finally understood. All of his wife's cleverness was focused on Ye Sheng Ge.
"Don't talk nonsense, everyone is fine. Alright, I have to go back to work. I won't be able to contact you for the next few days. Remember to eat less snacks."
"Hey, Ouyang, you bastard, I'm not done talking yet."
The busy tone of the phone made Chen Tang Tang even more convinced that her friend was in trouble. However, she was still clear-headed enough to know not to call Sheng Ge directly.
"Mom, I'm going out. If I come back late, you can pick up the kids."
"Okay, just don't be reckless when you go out."
Xia Hong shook her head helplessly as she watched her daughter-in-law rush out in a hurry. If she kept eating like this, the front door would be too small to let her in.
Chen Tang Tang went straight to the Bai family. Her son had said that Xiao You You hadn't gone to school. If there wasn't a problem, why would he skip school?
Ye Mu En was just driving away from the Bai family when he saw a "cannonball" the size of a mountain charging towards his car. He slammed on the brakes, fearing that he and the mountain would both be destroyed.
"Brother Mu En, did something happen? Did Sheng Ge have an accident? Where are the children? Why isn't Xiao You You going to school?"
Ye Mu En covered his face, who could tell him that someone as large as a mountain was Chen Tang Tang, whom he hadn't seen in half a year.
"Let's go inside and talk."
"Okay, okay, let's go in quickly."
When Chen Tang Tang learned about the suffering her friend had endured these past few days, she hugged Xiao Mi Er and cried.
"Damn it, how dare they harm children? I'm going to kill them."
Ye Mu En couldn't stand women crying, and none of the women in his family were prone to crying, so he avoided Chen Tang Tang whenever she cried.
"Alright, this all needs to be kept secret. Don't tell anyone at home when you go back, especially the children. I have things to do, so I'll be leaving now. Be aware of the pedestrians around you when you leave."
"Oh, you go busy, I'll stay with the children for a while."
Xiao Mi Er thoughtfully handed a tissue to Aunt Tang Tang to wipe her tears, a perfect little cotton-padded jacket.
"Xiao Mi Er, you've been through so much. Tomorrow, Aunt Tang Tang will make you delicious food. Look how thin you've gotten."
Xiao You You subtly took a few steps back. He didn't want to be squeezed and tormented in his aunt's arms.
"Old Madam, someone has delivered a box from outside again."
Old Madam Bai immediately clutched her chest, but her face was filled with rage.
"Apprehend the person outside. I want to see how arrogant they are."
"They've already been apprehended."
Chen Tang Tang immediately understood who was outside. She quickly told Xiao Mi Er to hide upstairs and then charged out like a cannonball again.
The person who had been subdued by the Bai family's bodyguards was directly pinned to the ground by Chen Tang Tang.
"I'll make you pay for messing with me. You like sending things, don't you? I'll send you to the west first."
"Ouch! Cough, cough, help!"
Xiao Mi Er and Xiao You You watched from the second-floor window.
"Brother, isn't Aunt Tang Tang an incredibly powerful person? She can beat boys."
"That's because she's overweight. The opponent failed because they were too thin."
"I want to eat until I'm plump too. Then, when someone bullies me again, I'll crush them."
Xiao You You's eyes went black. He immediately imagined his sister a few times fatter and shivered uncontrollably.
"You're still prettier when you're thin."
"Really? Brother, you finally see my beauty."
Xiao You You moved away from the window with dead fish eyes, but the moment he turned, his eyes flashed. Without any thought, he yanked his sister down forcefully, and both of them fell heavily to the ground.
At the same time, the glass of the window shattered, and shards of glass rained down on the two of them.
"Alert, alert, someone fired a gun!"
"Children, hurry upstairs and check on the children!"
Chen Tang Tang, startled by the shouts, was covered in cold sweat. With bloodshot eyes, she slammed the man beneath her head against the ground repeatedly.
The Bai family members had almost all rushed to the second floor, but they still knew to duck into the rooms.
"Xiao You You, are you alright?"
"We're fine. Don't go near the window."
Bai Chu Fan crawled to the window. Because the bed was blocking the entrance, he couldn't see the children's condition. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were unharmed.
"Crawl over to Uncle, be careful of the glass shards on the ground."
The people Ye Mu En had left behind immediately rushed out. They were professionals and immediately determined the direction of the gunshot.
The shooter hadn't retreated yet and was kicked flying, with their hands broken and mouths gagged to prevent suicide.
Ye Mu En received the news while visiting Ah Long and Min Xing in the hospital. Ah Long had narrowly escaped death this time, but due to his severe injuries, he hadn't recovered yet.
"Damn it, who are these people? Why are they relentlessly pursuing the children?"
Ah Long struggled to sit up. Hearing that the children had been attacked, he couldn't lie down any longer.
"Alright, all of you hurry up and recover. There will be plenty for you to do in the future."
Ye Mu En hurried home. It seemed that the villains would attack the Bai family again, and perhaps this was an opportunity.
Xiao Mi Er was so frightened that she refused to come out of her ancestor's embrace, only burying her head and crying mournfully.
"Good girl, Xiao Mi Er, don't be afraid. Ancestor will definitely get justice for you."
Grandma Bai was pale with anger. How audacious! She had lived for decades and had never encountered such vicious villains.
"All of you patrol carefully. Send more people to guard the area opposite the Bai family. I refuse to believe anyone can still do evil."
Grandpa Bai gently patted Xiao You You, but his trembling body showed his anger to everyone.
Ye Mu En jumped out of the car without even turning off the engine. As he entered the courtyard, he saw the unconscious man lying on the ground. He walked into the living room and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two unharmed children.
"Uncle, you're finally back. If Brother hadn't pulled me down, you would never have seen Xiao Mi Er again."
Ye Mu En caught the little calico cat that pounced at him, patting her as he walked to comfort her.
"Uncle won't go out again. After we catch the bad guys, let Xiao Mi Er hit them with a stick to vent her anger, okay?"
"Mm, they're too bad. Xiao Mi Er didn't do anything wrong."
"Uncle knows, Xiao Mi Er has always been a good child."
The phone call ended with a busy tone, making Chen Tang Tang even more convinced that her friend was in trouble. However, she was still clear-headed enough to know not to call Sheng Ge directly.
"Mom, I'm going out. If I come back late, you can pick up the kids."
"Okay, just don't be reckless when you go out."
Xia Hong shook her head helplessly as she watched her daughter-in-law rush out in a hurry. If she kept eating like this, the front door would be too small to let her in.
