"You're vouching for him?" Yang Chen raised an eyebrow at Night Fire.
Night Fire gave a bitter smile and said to Yang Chen, "When it cos to feelings, who can really vouch for anything?"
Yang Chen imdiately glared and said, "Then what are you guaranteeing ?"
Night Fire said dejectedly, "If they truly have feelings, of course I support Jianfeng; but if he dares hurt our sister, forget about you, I won't spare him! At the very least, I'll make him the first eunuch of the new era!"
Yang Chen snorted coldly without saying a word.
Actually, he already had a plan in mind, just not easy to reveal.
Afternoon.
Before getting off work, Mastiff delivered the things he had prepared.
Zika Red Wine, a collector's edition that Yang Chen usually can't bear to drink.
Another album, carefully crafted by Mastiff following Yang Chen's instructions, was quite thoughtful.
Looking at the photos of Ye Xin from childhood and now, Yang Chen couldn't help but show a gentle smile.
Little Ye Xin was very cute, with double ponytails, a proud deanor, like a little girl who could charm everyone.
Yang Chen thought that wherever Ye Xin went in her childhood, she must have been a troublemaker.
"Beauty can be a disaster," there's truth in that; being too pretty is indeed a disaster.
At this mont, Wei Xueqing entered and asked, "Yang Chen, do you have ti tonight?"
Yang Chen thought for a mont and asked, "What's up?"
"Nothing." Wei Xueqing hesitated a bit, "Just... if you're free, I'd like to discuss so developnt matters and have dinner with you."
"Let's talk about this tomorrow at work." Yang Chen said.
Wei Xueqing's face showed a hint of disappointnt.
But the following words made Wei Xueqing brighten up.
"Tonight, accompany to an event." Yang Chen said.
"An event? What kind of event?" Wei Xueqing seed a bit excited.
Yang Chen smiled slightly, "Dress up nicely; you'll find out tonight."
Seeing Yang Chen still trying to keep it mysterious, Wei Xueqing couldn't help but feel even more expectant.
...
Cloud Mist Mountain Villa.
Bang!
Seventh Young Master furiously smashed a vase on the ground, shattering it into pieces.
Housekeeper Zhang hid to the side, trembling, not daring to make a sound.
"Damn it!" The usually elegant Seventh Young Master couldn't help but curse.
Originally preparing to enter, Left Envoy Yang frowned and chose to leave.
"That Yang Chen, I want to tear him to pieces!" Seventh Young Master said through gritted teeth.
Housekeeper Zhang nodded repeatedly, as if finally understanding his feelings.
However, seeing Housekeeper Zhang only made Seventh Young Master even angrier, and he shouted, "And you! What did you investigate? Huh? What is this? Not enough money, they take out fifty billion to slap in the face! What have you done? Just let be humiliated like this?"
Housekeeper Zhang kept his head down, not daring to say a word.
Seventh Young Master glared at Housekeeper Zhang viciously, stewing in anger on his chair.
After a long while, Seventh Young Master looked at Housekeeper Zhang and coldly asked, "I ask you, why did Left Envoy Yang gather the major families today?"
"It seems... possibly to discuss consolidation matters. I don't know the specifics, just overheard Left Envoy Yang ntion it briefly. You know, Nine Venerables exist, but they don't have much significance. You know, this ti Left Envoy Yang ca for..."
"I understand!" Seventh Young Master nodded.
He pondered for a mont and asked, "Will Yang Chen be there?"
Housekeeper Zhang nodded, "Yes, he specifically ca to find Left Envoy Yang yesterday; he will definitely be there tonight."
A sinister look flashed in Seventh Young Master's eyes as he coldly said, "Tonight, I'll make sure he cos but never leaves!"
"Understood!" Housekeeper Zhang quickly nodded.
"Understood?" Seventh Young Master sneered, glaring at Housekeeper Zhang, "What did you understand?"
Housekeeper Zhang shivered with fear and hurriedly said, "I'll do whatever you instruct."
"Humph!" Seventh Young Master snorted coldly, finally letting Housekeeper Zhang off.
...
Jin Chen.
The Ye family.
Ye Xin's mother cried nearly every day, after all, Ye Xin was her only daughter.
Ye Liangcai returned ho and saw her this way, sighing as he comforted her, "Try to think positively; our Ye family has always been guards, sacrificing for the country is quite normal. Our daughter doing sothing so significant is our pride, don't linger in grief, or else Xinxin's spirit won't rest in peace."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xin's mother only cried harder.
Originally, she only had this one daughter, always raising her as a little princess, expecting a happy life, carefree, like a princess, to find a man who truly loves her.
But she was born into a family of guards, not loving pretty dresses but armor, diving headlong into the ard forces without looking back.
Since Ye Xin joined the Guard, she constantly worried, always anxious.
Eventually, her greatest fear ca true.
Ye Xin's mother pushed Ye Liangcai away, crying, "It's all your fault, letting her beco a special agent, joining the military, and now our only daughter is gone! Why do I need you! My daughter, oh!"
Ye Liangcai listened, his eyes reddening as he lowered his head, unsure of what to say.
Ever since this incident, senior leaders and officials have, overtly and subtly, been promoting him, strengthening the Ye family's power, increasing his status and authority.
But he wasn't happy at all, knowing these were exchanged for his daughter's life. If he could, he'd rather not have them!
After a while, Ye Xin's mother slowed her crying, asking Ye Liangcai, "Why does Yang Chen want our daughter's past photos?"
Ye Liangcai shook his head slightly, unsure of the situation. When Mastiff ca earlier, he had asked but received no valuable information.
Ye Xin's mother suddenly tugged at Ye Liangcai, "Brother Ye! Do you think Yang Chen disappeared for a day, suddenly let Mastiff co here to get photos, could it be because he found Xinxin?"
Upon saying this, a hopeful light flickered in her eyes.
Ye Liangcai was taken aback, moved by the idea, a touch of hope passing through his mind.
Yet, Ye Liangcai remained more rational, feeling the likelihood was small, almost impossible.
But seeing his partner sparked with hope, he didn't want to extinguish it, so he said, "This matter... I'll look into it, but don't hold too much hope; we can only hope for the best outco."
"I understand! I understand! But Brother Ye, this is our only hope, you must help investigate, can you? Find Yang Chen and ask him what's really going on?" Ye Xin's mother pleaded while holding Ye Liangcai.
Ye Liangcai nodded slowly, "Don't worry, I will investigate it thoroughly!"
