Ch. 321..325: Mr CEO Ex-wife Escapes Again Chapter 321-325
Chapter 321: Chapter 321 She is also a madwoman
Yin Beixiao appeared before Yin Hehe, and she almost burst into tears.
"Brother, he’s in trouble!"
"I know, that’s why I rushed over from Jiangbei. Don’t panic, I’m going to take you out of here right now, and then we’ll find him together."
Yin Beixiao tenderly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then quickly completed the procedures and paid the bail money, swiftly getting Yin Hehe out of the detention center.
"Brother, this money..."
"It’s from Old Master Sheng," Yin Beixiao, now in the car, didn’t hide the origin of the funds and told her straight out.
When Yin Hehe heard this, warmth flooded her heart, and her eyes reddened again.
She knew that no matter how big the trouble was, the old master wouldn’t just sit back and do nothing.
But what about the company?
"Things are bad. After today’s incident was exposed, Shengshi Group’s stocks plummeted. Therefore, what we must do now is to find Sheng Siyuan before the stock market opens tomorrow morning to clarify this matter, or else it will be very troublesome!"
Yin Beixiao once again recounted the impact that the incident had in Jiangbei.
On the spot, Yin Hehe’s face turned pale upon hearing this.
Thus, the two left the detention center and headed straight to the hotel where Sheng Siyuan had encountered the incident.
But their hearts sank when, after arriving at the hotel and using their connections to have the hotel manager show them the surveillance footage from the entrance, they discovered nothing.
"Mrs. Sheng, actually, we felt there was something odd about the whole situation at the hotel. This morning, we only had a very small banquet on the top floor, but after President Sheng arrived, suddenly many people came. And I also noticed that the reporters arrived with them," recounted the person in charge of the Siberia Hotel, seeing that Mrs. Sheng from Shengshi Group had finally come, and he took the initiative to share the uneasy feelings he had about that day’s events.
They were all businessmen.
In reality, many of the country’s successful entrepreneurs held Shengshi Group in high esteem, partly because Sheng Siyuan conducted business openly and honorably.
Furthermore, the presence and rise of Sheng Siyuan internationally allowed all domestic businessman to hold their heads high and deal confidently with their international counterparts.
Naturally, at this time, they too were willing to help this business tycoon.
Yin Hehe, with her sharp intelligence, realized immediately upon hearing this that this was a conspiracy which had been carefully planned in advance.
"Brother, do you have someone?"
"What do you mean...?" Yin Beixiao looked at her perplexed.
But he realized that in just a second’s time, this woman was enveloped in a layer of chilling frost, exuding a bone-chilling aura of killing intent that even made his skin crawl!
"Naturally, we’re going to bring him back!" She ground out each word between clenched teeth.
Yin Beixiao: "..."
So, the meaning of her words... was she already knew where he was, right?
"How many people do you need? I can ask some friends in the capital."
He immediately offered.
Yin Hehe: "..."
She was about to say that ordinary people might not be able to handle this affair, but just then, her phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Madam, this is Cheng Chi, waiting for you downstairs at the hotel!"
She never expected to hear a familiar voice on the line.
A warmth surged in the depths of Yin Hehe’s heart once again.
Cheng Chi, the leader of the Sheng Family’s Blood Eagle, had now come over, and without a doubt, it was arranged by the old master.
Yin Hehe immediately left the hotel.
Indeed, as soon as she reached the downstairs, she saw several dozen black top-tier SUVs lined up in front of the hotel, a sight so spectacular that even the hotel staff ran out to watch.
It was astounding!
"Madam, I have brought the Blood Eagle. The old master said that starting from now, everyone is at your disposal!" said Cheng Chi with sunglasses, as he approached Yin Hehe and bowed his head.
Yin Hehe: "..."
It took her more than ten seconds to suppress the surging emotions in her chest.
Minutes later, she led those people and set off.
They charged mightily toward a high-end club, and after speeding all the way to its entrance, Yin Hehe got out of the car, looked up at the name of the club, and waved her hand.
"Charge in!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, the black-clad figures that had uniformly disembarked behind her rushed into the place.
"Bang!"
No one dared to describe the scene.
Because, right at the heart of the Imperial City, at the foot of the emperor’s domain, such wild and rampant fighting was unheard of, not even the four major families had ever witnessed such a scene.
Gunshots, explosions, cries, and screams...
All of these noises burst forth as a mushroom cloud rose above the club, shaking the entire capital, including the four major families!
"What did you say? The Royal Club was bombed?"
The first to receive the news was the Duan Family. Duan Jiu’s eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets in shock.
"Who did it? That’s Shen Family’s property, who had the guts to bomb it?"
He asked in both shock and anger.
Duan Yongning stammered his reply, "It seems... it was a woman."
"A woman?" Hearing this, Duan Jiu was even more stunned.
"What woman? Which family has lost their desire to live? Can’t they even keep their wench in check?"
"I heard... it’s Xiahou Yi’s daughter-in-law. Ever since his son went missing this morning, that woman has come out of the detention center, and nobody knows how. She just suspected it was the Shen Family’s doing, and it just so happened that Shen Weihuai’s youngest son was leisurely at their club, so she led her people straight over!"
"..."
"It seems... that he’s already been stripped naked and is hanging from the rooftop, just waiting for Shen Weihuai to come for an exchange!"
Duan Yongning said shakily, sweating coldly down his back when mentioning Shen Weihuai’s youngest son being stripped naked and hung outside the club, as if he was afraid such a fate would befall him.
Duan Jiu was left slack-jawed by the news!
In fact, after the incident with Sheng Siyuan broke out that morning, Xiahou Yi visited both the Shen Family and Duan Jiu, but the old man simply issued warnings and threats in a proper manner. After both families denied any involvement, he took his people and left.
Until now, there had been no further developments.
But little did anyone expect that his daughter-in-law would go so berserk. The first thing she did upon taking action was to blow up the Shen Family’s club and stripped his son naked to hang out in the open!
Could she be that ruthless?
Duan Jiu couldn’t suppress a shiver.
"And your brother? Where did that damned fool go? Call him back here at once!"
All of a sudden, he remembered this issue.
At the mention, Duan Yongning suddenly paled even more.
"Oh no, that damned fool has his birthday today. He was originally hosting a party at the Siberia Hotel, but after the mess with Sheng Siyuan, he’s now at the Royal Club!"
"You imbecile!" Duan Jiu cursed, hopping mad!
It was at that moment that Duan Yongning’s wife rushed in frantically.
"It’s terrible, Dad! Someone just called, saying that Zhiping has also been stripped naked at the Royal Club. They’re waiting for your word now, and if you don’t reveal where Xiahou’s little madman is, they’re going to hang him out too!"
"!!!!!"
Duan Jiu was about to explode with anger.
"How would I know where that little madman is? I didn’t do this!!"
The thunderous roar of his furious bellow echoed from the Duan house, causing it to vibrate for a long time.
Chapter 322: Chapter 322 Distance
Royal Club.
In the messy hall, Yin Hehe sat emotionless on the sofa while Cheng Chi stepped on the wailing young master of the Duan Family beneath his feet.
"Madam, the police have surrounded us outside!"
After waiting for about four or five minutes, finally, someone ran over with some unwelcome news.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Chi’s face immediately darkened.
"Madam?"
"No need to panic. These matters, Xiahou Yi will handle for us. As for that useless old bastard, all we need to do now is wait for news from the Duan Family!"
Yin Hehe cursed Xiahou Yi unceremoniously.
As expected, about ten minutes later, the police, who had already rushed over upon hearing the news, withdrew one after the other.
Instead, an olive green jeep arrived at the entrance. When the old man who got out of the jeep saw a person hanging naked from the wall of the top floor of the club, his face turned green with rage!
This damn girl, he must thrash her to death!
Xiahou Yi stormed in, furious.
Just then, in the hall, Yin Hehe also received news from the Duan Family.
"Hello?"
She held her phone, her expression still very cold.
On the other end of the phone, Duan Yongning couldn’t contain his anger.
"Yin Hehe, our Duan Family truly had no hand in your husband’s disappearance. However, I can tell you that Shen Nanming indeed had plans to avenge his wife!"
Finally, Duan Yongning revealed something.
Yin Hehe, upon hearing this, immediately stood up from the sofa.
"Tell me more!" she demanded, her tone extremely icy and sharp.
Duan Yongning: "Haven’t you recently found new fatal evidence on his wife’s body? If so, he feels his wife died in vain and is certainly furious!"
This man spoke very bluntly.
Probably, the Duan Family’s relationship with the Shen Family was purely for mutual benefit, or perhaps, he was too simple-minded to realize that there were certain things that should not be said.
A gleam flashed in Yin Hehe’s eyes.
"So, do you know what his plan is, or where he’s going to strike?"
"I don’t know that, but since I’ve told you this much, don’t you think it’s clear who’s at fault and whom you should hold accountable? Shouldn’t you go to the Shen Family?"
Duan Yongning said again, angrily.
Yin Hehe raised an eyebrow.
She, of course, understood this principle, but she had hoped to pry a bit more information from him.
Yin Hehe then signaled Cheng Chi to let go of his foot, ready to throw the young Duan Family master out.
Just then, Xiahou Yi came in and saw the scene, his forehead veins popping with anger!
"Yin Hehe, what the hell are you doing? This is the capital, who gave you permission to act so recklessly?"
He lunged forward in a fury and roared at Yin Hehe.
Seeing this, Cheng Chi immediately stepped in front of Yin Hehe.
Xiahou Yi: "..."
In an instant, the old man’s eyes blazed with anger as he glared at the hostile crowd gathered in the hall, waiting for him.
At the critical moment, it was Yin Hehe who pushed Cheng Chi aside.
"If I don’t act recklessly, can I expect anything from you?"
"You—"
"Xiahou Yi, I’ve always thought of you as a formidable figure; everyone in the imperial city bows to your power. But now it seems I’ve overestimated you," said Yin Hehe, her final words giving no face to the old man at all; she outright berated him.
Xiahou Yi’s fingers creaked with rage.
If he hadn’t been forcibly holding himself back, he might have struck out!
In his long life, no one had ever dared to speak to him like that.
"So, you think causing such a scene is going to rescue anyone? Do you believe Shen Weihuai is currently hiding at home, laughing? Sheng Siyuan is a madman, and his wife too. What a golden opportunity for Shen Weihuai!"
"..."
"He finally has a reason to incite the world, claiming that my Xiahou Family is filled with lunatics. When my reputation, Xiahou Yi, plummets, and the supreme power no longer revolves around me, do you think that will be good for you?"
Unexpectedly, after the old man suppressed his rage with great restraint, he actually began to question Yin Hehe about the pros and cons this incident brought to them.
On the spot, Yin Hehe was silenced.
Not having grown up at the center of power, she wasn’t so sensitive to these matters. She only knew to start from historical experience: What methods were most effective? What could make the adversary hand over the person the fastest?
So, she really hadn’t thought that much.
"General Xiahou, our lady hasn’t thought that much. She just urgently wants to rescue our CEO; he’s been missing for over five hours now!" Cheng Chi spoke up at last, also defending Yin Hehe.
Xiahou Yi glanced at him, "Haven’t I been searching for him? I know you’re anxious, and I’m worried too, but Shen Weihuai, that old fox, isn’t so easily fooled. Look how long you’ve been hanging around; has he shown any reaction?"
Cheng Chi: "..."
Xiahou Yi: "Let me tell you, people like him, for the sake of power, will never take anyone seriously, be it his son or his family. His wife is the best proof!"
"..."
Another silence fell over the scene.
After realizing her mistake, Yin Hehe’s face, initially pale, became even whiter.
"Alright, you don’t need to worry. Although we can’t find him right now, we can be sure that he’s not in danger. Shen Weihuai doesn’t have the guts to touch my son!"
Xiahou Yi had also calmed down. Seeing the woman before him looking so defeated, he reassured her again.
Upon hearing this, Yin Hehe immediately looked at him, "Really?"
"Of course it’s true. He wouldn’t dare to openly challenge me. He’s very aware that even if my power, Xiahou Yi, has somewhat declined, it would still be easy for me to wipe out the Shen Family!"
"..."
Yin Hehe said no more.
Before long, a group of people left the upscale club they had thrown into chaos; indeed, Yin Hehe noticed the old man didn’t even bother to see to the aftermath, leaving with long, steady strides.
And the police and Shen Family members who rushed to the scene thereafter, didn’t dare utter a single word of complaint.
Her heart finally settled down.
Indeed, she should not have doubted the old man, let alone be so impulsive.
Yin Hehe and Cheng Chi returned to the Xiahou Royal Mansion together.
"So what do we do now? How can we make Shen Weihuai hand over the person?"
"There’s no need to rush. I’ve already given him two departments. This is the carrot before the stick approach. If I haven’t seen him by tomorrow morning, then it will be time for the Shen Family to disappear!"
Back at the mansion, the old man washed his hands in a golden basin handed to him by the butler, then picked up some incense and lit it at the shrine.
The curling sandalwood smoke rose from his hands, matching the prayer beads on his wrist, making him seem like a true ascetic.
Even though he muttered the words "disappear"...
Yin Hehe felt a sudden chill, a shiver running up her spine.
That was the distance between her and the old man!
Chapter 323: Chapter 323 He looks at her dominantly: "Come here!
That night, Yin Hehe slept soundly, and even had a pleasant dream.
In the dream, she saw her family of five returning to Jiangbei, including her three treasures and the man who had always been by her side.
They lived in Shengfei Bay, and every day couldn’t have been happier.
"Madam, are you awake?"
She was awakened by the knocking on the door from Cheng Chi outside.
Only then did she open her eyes.
"Morning, Cheng Chi, any news?"
"Yes!" Cheng Chi standing at the door immediately nodded.
Yin Hehe was immediately overjoyed, "Where is he? Has he been brought here?"
She immediately came out of the inner chamber and was about to run out.
Cheng Chi quickly stopped her, "Madam, don’t be in a hurry. Here’s the thing: just now someone called the old butler, saying the president is in Willow District."
"Willow District? What place is that?"
Hearing this unfamiliar name, Yin Hehe asked in confusion.
"Willow District is the ancestral home of the Shen Family, located beside Willow Lake in the capital."
Unexpectedly, Xiahou Yi also came over in person.
Willow Lake?
Upon hearing this name, Yin Hehe knew it, as she had roughly familiarized herself with the Xiahou Family’s situation in the capital at that time.
Willow Lake was indeed the center lake of this metropolis, with its beautiful and tranquil scenery. Legend had it that it was once a royal garden and viewing lake, which later was bought by the business-minded Shen Family and became their ancestral home.
This lake and the current Xiahou Royal Mansion were known as the two true historical relics of the capital.
No wonder they hadn’t found anyone after searching all day yesterday; it turned out that Shen Weihuai had hidden him there.
"Then why didn’t he send him over? If we go to pick him up, wouldn’t that directly expose them as the perpetrators behind this?"
Yin Hehe asked, not understanding.
Xiahou Yi raised an eyebrow, "I’m not very clear about this situation either. Let’s go take a look first."
Then he turned and left.
Seeing this, Yin Hehe quickly changed her clothes and followed closely behind.
——
Willow Lake.
In the depths of winter, the scenery of this lake, known as the capital’s number one garden lake, was still breathtaking.
Its surface was covered with a thin layer of ice that glistened translucently, like a large mirror veiled in gauze. The willow trees on both sides had shed their leaves, but this did not detract from their beauty. Their withered branches hung down like rows of fences, enclosing the entire lake.
Yin Hehe admired the beautiful scenery as she rode in the car all the way there.
But when she arrived at Willow District and saw the ancient and elegant garden architecture, she was utterly captivated.
The properties of the capital’s four great families were indeed impressive.
Yin Hehe got out of the car.
"General Xiahou, you’ve finally come. I only heard from the servants this morning that your young master ran to my place. I hurried to send him over to you, but he just wouldn’t agree!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as they reached the gate of Willow District, Shen Weihuai came out to greet them in person.
He only found out this morning that he ran over here?
Yin Hehe almost laughed at this nonsense, but Xiahou Yi remained calm.
"Where is he now?"
"He’s inside watching fish. Come with me!"
Shen Weihuai then hurriedly led Yin Hehe and the others inside.
Indeed, after letting them in and circling around a huge screen, they saw a man lying on a Taishi Chair beside a pond full of water lilies. He was covered with thick satin and surrounded by various pastries and fruits, leisurely watching the fish in the pond.
Yin Hehe: "..."
Xiahou Yi: "..."
Cheng Chi: "..."
Everyone was stunned for several seconds by the scene before them.
Because, in their eyes, a person who had gone foolish, suddenly left familiar people, and stayed in an unfamiliar environment for an entire night, should have had a very rough time.
So, they were all prepared to face his potential breakdown.
But what was this scenario now?
He seemed to be in quite a good state, even enjoying himself.
Had he been pacified by now?
Suddenly thinking of this, Yin Hehe took a swift step and rushed in front of the man.
"Honey, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
She knelt down in front of him and lifted the blanket to check on him.
The man, who had been looking at the fish, was startled for a moment, but as soon as he realized what was happening, he immediately grabbed the lifted blanket and pulled it over himself. He glared at the woman in front of him and angrily turned his head away.
"Humph!"
Yin Hehe was perplexed.
Was he... angry?
He reacted so quickly, was in such a good mental state, and even knew to get angry. It was obvious he hadn’t suffered any grievances or harm.
Yin Hehe was completely bewildered.
At that moment, Xiahou Yi also walked over, sizing the man up. After observing that there didn’t appear to be anything wrong with him, he frowned and turned his scrutiny towards Shen Weihuai.
Shen Weihuai hastily raised his hand and swore, "Old General, believe me, the servants in my residence took very good care of him last night. You can check thoroughly if you don’t believe me!"
"..."
So, what exactly had this man done? What could have made this old fox, Shen Weihuai, treat him with such courtesy?
Knowing that you couldn’t lay a finger on someone from the Xiaho Family, but with the man now foolish and in Shen Weihuai’s hands, he could have easily done something to him in secret.
Yin Hehe also fell into contemplation.
However, just then, the man who had turned his back on her for a few minutes, seemed to be even angrier upon seeing that she hadn’t come to coax him. He threw off the blanket and jumped down from the Taishi Chair.
"Husband, where are you going?"
It was only then that Yin Hehe snapped back to reality.
But by that time, the man had already stormed off. He rushed into the main house of Willow District, grabbed a vase and smashed it on the floor.
"Clang!"
Yin Hehe, who had followed him in, saw Shen Weihuai’s face twitch with pain at the sight.
"Young master, please stop smashing things. Look, your father and your wife are both here. Please go home with them," he pleaded pitifully.
But just as he finished speaking, the man sneered coldly and sat down on the Taishi Chair in the main house.
"This is mine, you get out!"
He actually spoke!!
And his first words were to tell Shen Weihuai to leave, leaving everyone utterly dumbstruck.
Of course, except for Shen Weihuai.
Because he had already heard these words last night, and not just these, but some even more frightening things that those who had just arrived had not yet heard.
"Old General, I think you should try coaxing him yourself, I’m really out of options here," he said, eager to leave.
But he barely managed to take half a step before that ghostly voice started up again.
"All of you listen well, don’t let this person appear before me again. From today on, this place is mine. Without my permission, no one is allowed to step in!"
"..."
"Except for you!"
His eyes, brimming with a chilling coldness, finally fixed on Yin Hehe!
Chapter 324: Chapter 324: This is the True Overlord!
Everyone was stunned once again.
Yin Hehe’s heart skipped a beat upon seeing this.
Such an expression, such a tone, exactly like he used to be, could it be that he’s already back to normal?
What’s more, he had spoken so much at once, something he hadn’t done since he awoke.
For a long time, Yin Hehe stayed in the main house, unable to say a word out of excitement as she watched the man before her.
However, after hearing this, Xiahou Yi calmly looked at the man and asked, "Do you like it here?"
Sheng Siyuan raised his eyebrows: "Yes!"
Xiahou Yi then turned to look at Shen Weihuai behind him.
"Shen Weihuai, my son says he likes it here, what do you say? Shall you give up this place, or shall I blow your son’s brains out with a single shot?"
He actually went straight to the point with this remark.
Shen Weihuai immediately turned pale, while Yin Hehe and Cheng Chi both stared at the old man, their expressions as shocked as could be!
"Xiahou Yi, what do you mean? Threatening my son out of the blue? Do you really think no one in the capital can control you? Don’t forget, due to your mad son, your prestige is no longer what it once was."
Shen Weihuai retorted in shock and anger.
However, no sooner had he spoken than the old man let out a cold laugh: "So what? Even if you’ve outsmarted me again, as of now, destorying your Shen Family is still well within my means!"
"..."
With that one sentence, Shen Weihuai no longer dared to utter another word, leaving only his pale and ashen face.
At this moment, as Xiahou Yi waved his hand, the old butler came in, bringing out a stack of photos, which caused Shen Weihuai to take several steps backward after seeing them.
Those were the photos taken after Sheng Siyuan’s disappearance.
And on them, it was clearly captured that the prime instigator behind it all was Shen Weihuai’s eldest son, Shen Nanming.
"How about it? One mansion in exchange for your son’s life, I think it’s worth it."
Seeing that the old man had no reply, Xiahou Yi asked again, this time with a clearly sarcastic tone.
Shen Weihuai was so angry he almost crushed his teeth.
But in the end, he had to swallow his rage and agreed to the conditions that spelled "national disgrace."
"Fine, then this place is yours, Xiahou Yi, I hope you live a long and prosperous life here!"
As he left, the man who had fully shown his true colors did not forget to curse viciously.
Xiahou Yi simply said, "This is for my son to live in, rest assured, he’s so young. If nobody from your Shen family is left to attend a funeral, he can take care of it."
"You—"
Shen Weihuai nearly fainted from anger on the spot.
It was then that Yin Hehe finally realized that the man’s sharp tongue was hereditary.
It came from his biological father.
Shen Weihuai left, spitting blood.
Seeing this, Xiahou Yi then turned to Yin Hehe: "Then you will live here from now on; I’ll arrange for some servants to come over later."
"...Okay."
At this point, Yin Hehe had no choice but to agree obediently, having no other opinion.
And so, that day, Yin Hehe and Sheng Siyuan settled down in Willow District.
When the news got out, the entire capital was once again shaken like an earthquake!
Because, just yesterday news had spread that the Xiaho Family had been forced to cede two major divisions to the Shen Family, but in a blink of an eye, the Shen Family had ceded the ancestral home to the Xiahou Family.
Who had won in the end?
The outcome spoke for itself.
--
"Slap!"
At that moment in the Shen Family residence, Shen Weihuai slapped his eldest son, Shen Nanming, furiously to the ground.
His bloodshot eyes were filled with a hatred so deep, he might as well have strangled him with his bare hands!
"Is this the mess you’ve made? Look at it! My carefully laid plans, ruined by your meddling. Not only did we gain no advantage, but we even lost our ancestors’ possessions. You are a curse!"
He pointed at Shen Nanming’s nose and cursed vehemently.
Shen Nanming, holding his face, collapsed onto the sofa, not daring to make a single sound.
When he received the news yesterday that the little lunatic from the Xiahou Family had escaped, he had actually wanted to avenge his wife.
His wife had died in the process of trying to kill that little lunatic.
So, when he heard there had been a change, and that it was very likely the little lunatic would be unharmed, the hatred in his heart grew wildly like vines.
Then, he had his younger brother find a way to lure the foolish girl from the Xiahou Family to bring Sheng Siyuan to the hotel through their classmate group. What followed was the appearance of arranged reporters, waiting for Sheng Siyuan to flee in panic.
He had already stationed the fisherman waiting there to take him away.
But no one could have anticipated that what he thought was a foolproof plan would end up bringing an even greater disaster upon the Shen Family.
"I’m telling you, Shen Nanming, do you really think Xiahou Yi is so easy to deal with? In the capital, as long as he lives, no one will ever defeat him!"
Shen Weihuai said again, filled with resentment.
Hearing this, Shen Nanming’s hatred surged, and he lifted his head once more.
"Then why don’t we just kill him first?"
"Kill him?" Upon hearing these words, Shen Weihuai became even more furious, delivering a vicious kick to his rebellious son.
"What dream are you having? You think you can kill him with your capabilities?"
"Why not?"
Unexpectedly, this time, Shen Nanming didn’t back down; he stubbornly got up from the ground again.
"Dad, don’t forget, he is already over eighty years old now. The Xiahou Family is fragmented, and ever since Xiahou Maolin was crippled and his two sons died, they have all been eyeing the position of heir. Don’t you think this is the perfect time to get rid of the old man?"
"..."
Shen Weihuai fell silent.
Looking at his son, who had attempted to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it, he suddenly thought there was a rationale in his words.
"Then what good suggestions do you have?"
"This very incident!" Shen Nanming immediately said.
"The trouble this time was caused by Xiahou Maoqing’s young daughter. I believe that once Xiahou Yi returns, he will surely punish this little girl severely."
"And then?"
"Then we can exaggerate the story, make the incident even bigger. You have to understand, after Xiahou Maolin was crippled, and with Sheng Siyuan becoming an idiot, the hottest candidate for successor should be Xiahou Jingmu."
One had to admit, Shen Nanming truly had some brains.
Shen Weihuai listened quietly, and after a moment, a sinister gleam burst forth from his eyes.
Indeed, they should start from Xiahou Maoqing’s proud household!
--
Willow District.
Yin Hehe had spent the entire day with the servants getting several bedrooms and the living room in order.
By the time she had finished, the sun was already setting in the west.
"You know, this place actually has a nice view. Even though that guy is stupid now, he still knew to pick a good place to live," Yin Beixiao hadn’t left yet. He came with some household items to this place, and seeing the beauty of Willow Lake, which looked like a painting created by a master artist, couldn’t help but exclaim with admiration.
Chapter 325: Chapter 325: To Share a Quilt with My Wife
"Yeah, he’s quite selective."
Yin Hehe came out to greet him and couldn’t help but agree after hearing the teasing.
Yin Beixiao handed her what he was holding, and as they were about to step inside, suddenly, a stone was thrown at them.
"Watch out!"
Yin Beixiao, quick as lightning, promptly pulled Yin Hehe out of harm’s way.
Yin Hehe was shocked, and once the stone hit the ground, she immediately looked towards the direction from which it was thrown.
It turned out to be the very man they were just discussing.
At that moment, he stood by the screen, his whole body emanating a cold hostility toward the two of them.
No, not at both, but at Yin Beixiao!
Yin Beixiao: "???"
Yin Hehe: "..."
"No, no, Mr. Sheng, have you lost your mind? Why are you throwing stones at me? Do you know who I am?"
Yin Beixiao couldn’t hold back and started cursing at the bastard.
The moment his words dropped, he saw another layer of murderous intent flare up in the man’s eyes, and he even picked up a nearby potted plant!
"Holy shit, this bastard!" Yin Beixiao was fuming.
In the end, it was Yin Hehe who quickly rushed over and intercepted the weapon in the man’s hand.
"Husband, what are you doing? He’s my brother!"
She explained, both angry and annoyed.
Brother?
Upon hearing this word, the hostility in the man’s eyes finally eased a bit, yet his handsome face remained unpleasant.
"I have said it, without my permission, no one is allowed to come in!"
"But..."
"Alright, alright, I won’t go in; happy now? This good-for-nothing, his brain must be broken, not even recognizing me anymore."
Hearing this, Yin Beixiao immediately stopped his sister from explaining further and obediently backed away from the entrance.
This left Yin Hehe feeling rather guilty.
"Brother, he..."
"It’s okay, he must be jealous, haha~~" The unrefined Yin Beixiao actually managed to decipher the crazed man’s intentions this time.
Yin Hehe’s eyes widened in surprise.
No way, when did her brother start to catch on to these things? Could it be... he and Auntie Jinxiu?
"Alright, I should get going. I’ve been here all day, and only Jinxiu is watching over things in Jiangbei."
"Okay, you go on then." Yin Hehe also smiled.
She was actually very happy to see the two come together—her brother, who loved her the most, and a kind girl sponsored by her mother.
Yin Hehe saw her brother off.
Back at the house, she found a tall figure still standing behind the screen.
However, probably to save face after being discovered, he pretended to examine the potted plants, stealing glances at Yin Hehe while he did so.
"Pfft!" Yin Hehe couldn’t help laughing when she saw this scene.
He had not recovered.
But for Yin Hehe, seeing him like this was a form of happiness.
"Okay, he’s gone now, let’s go back. It’s getting dark, and it’s time to cook."
"Hmph!" He snorted very coldly as expected.
Then he let himself be dragged along by Yin Hehe, pretending to be reluctant.
That evening, Yin Hehe prepared a big table of delicious dishes; as soon as they were served, the man, who had been waiting obediently like a child, immediately brightened up and started to eat eagerly.
"Don’t rush, there’s plenty; don’t choke."
Seeing this, Yin Hehe felt both happy and guilty.
She wondered how he had managed the night before and how frightened and panicked he must have felt when he was taken away.
But she knew very well that this was all caused by her not taking good care of him.
"Husband, I’m sorry, it’s all because of me this time, making you suffer so much. I won’t leave you behind again."
She sat beside him, watching him wolf down his food before choking up and speaking.
As her words fell, the man who had been devouring his meal suddenly stopped.
He turned his head, quietly looked at her for a while, and suddenly, he placed the large chicken leg from his bowl into Yin Hehe’s bowl.
"It’s okay," he said softly.
Yin Hehe: "..."
In an instant, a surge of emotion welled up like a tide, rapidly filling her eyes, and she could no longer hold back; she hugged the man and burst into tears.
Nothing made her happier than these words.
No matter how many hardships she suffered, as long as he could remember her and say such words to her.
She would die without regrets.
That evening, the two of them ate until their bellies were round and full.
After dinner came the man’s favorite bathing activity, with Yin Hehe patiently accompanying him to splash around.
Only after becoming tired from playing did the two of them get ready to sleep.
"Husband, we didn’t manage to buy the small bed today, so can you sleep here by yourself tonight, and I’ll come to join you tomorrow?"
Because the move here during the day was so rushed, they hadn’t had time to prepare many things, so before Yin Hehe went to sleep in the next room, she gently reminded the man.
The man lay in bed without saying a word.
Thinking he had agreed, Yin Hehe covered him with the blanket and turned off the light before she went next door.
But not even ten minutes after she lay down, suddenly, a tall figure slipped in.
Before she had time to react to what was happening, the person had climbed into her bed, lifted the covers, and slipped in.
"Hus...band, you..." Yin Hehe immediately tensed up all over.
"Let’s sleep together!"
The man who had successfully lain down next to her, mumbled a phrase and then hugged her tightly like an octopus.
Yin Hehe: "!!!!"
In the darkness, her face was burning, and her heart thumped as if leaping out of her chest.
That night, Yin Hehe dared not move for a long time, and likewise, she dared not close her eyes.
The feeling of intimacy had been absent for too long; the last time they had slept together was in the Drug Rehabilitation Center in Y City.
Yin Hehe fell asleep.
The next morning, when she woke up, she opened her eyes to find herself nestled in the crook of a strong, powerful arm.
In her ears was the sound of the man’s loud heartbeat.
Yin Hehe: "..."
"Buzz... Buzz..."
It took her a good while to collect her thoughts before she wriggled out of the man’s embrace and took the mobile phone from the bedside table.
"Hello?"
"Hehe, it’s Dad." Unexpectedly, the call that came in early in the morning was from Jiangbei’s Sheng Family patriarch.
Yin Hehe immediately felt a jolt that dispelled all drowsiness.
"Dad, good... good morning..." She hurriedly climbed up, intending to get out of bed to answer the call.
But feeling the emptiness beside him, the man in bed, discontented, reached out blindly with his hand...
"Ah—"
Yin Hehe, having tumbled back down, let out a startled cry.
Sheng patriarch: "What happened? Is there an issue?"
Yin Hehe: "No... nothing."
It was enough to make her want to crawl into a hole.
Having no choice, Yin Hehe had to wrap herself in the man’s embrace to continue the conversation with the elder.
"The thing is, Hehe, the company still needs that rascal to show his face; otherwise, the situation is hard to control."
Indeed, this was why the Sheng patriarch had called so early; the situation at the company had been urgent yesterday, but since they had just found the man, it wasn’t suitable to arrange a public appearance out of concern that his unstable emotions might provoke more speculation and doubt from the outside world.
That’s why the patriarch had not called the day before.
Yin Hehe immediately agreed to the request.
