Chapter 551: His Tricks

"What about you? Why are you here?" NovelFire

"Oh, Zixi has a classmate who lives in this neighborhood. I sent Zixi to attend her classmate’s birthday party."

Ming Yu!

Ye Zixi greeted Lu Mingyu sweetly.

"Hello, Zixi!"

Lu Mingyu waved at him." Why is our Zixi so handsome today? Let me guess, it must be a female classmate’s birthday today, right?"

Ye Zixi snorted in protest.

"Uncle Mingyu, are you thinking of something strange again? If Uncle Mingyu isn’t in a hurry, he can wait for our female classmates to grow up."

"Zixi!"

Ye Qingwan reprimanded.

Ye Zixi playfully stuck out her tongue and hid behind her.

Lu Mingyu wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"This is bad, this is bad. Children nowadays are really not to be trifled with."

Isn’t that so? The little wimp now might be his future love rival.

"Ah, right, Ming Yu, didn’t you say that you had something to talk to Miss Ye about?"

Ji Tianheng coughed lightly and winked at Lu Mingyu.

Lu Mingyu glanced at Ji Tianheng and then at Ye Qingwan. A flash of inspiration came to his mind.

"Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. Wanwan, is it inconvenient for me to treat you to a meal now?"

Ye Qingwan saw the two of them making eyes at each other and said,"

"It’s not that it’s inconvenient. I originally planned to go to Teacher Jiang’s house with Zixi to attend the child’s birthday party."

Ji Tianheng volunteered,"If Miss Ye doesn’t mind, I can help send Zixi to Teacher Jiang’s house.""

Before Ye Qingwan could answer, he glanced behind her.

He summoned Ye Zixi and asked,"

"Zixi, your mother and Uncle Lu have something to talk about. Shall I send you to Jiang Mianmian’s house? Our Zixi is already a manly man. Even if Mommy isn’t by your side, you’re not afraid, right?"

Ye Zixi looked up at Ye Qingwan."

"Mom, who is this uncle? Can I trust him and follow him?"

Ye Qingwan glanced at Ji Tianheng and saw the sincerity in the latter’s eyes. She smiled innocently.

It was very different from his usual fierce and fierce lawyer style.

Ye Qingwan turned to Lu Mingyu, who nodded at her.

Although she didn’t know if it was right for her to do so, Lu Mingyu had already asked her to do so. It wouldn’t make sense if she didn’t cooperate.

"Zixi, this uncle is Uncle Mingyu’s good friend. He even helped Mom before."

Ye Qingwan squatted down and tidied Ye Zixi’s clothes."

"If I don’t accompany you to Teacher Jiang’s house and let Uncle Ji take you there, will you be able to do it?"

Hearing Ye Qingwan say that Ji Tianheng was a reliable person, Ye Zixi nodded and said,"

"I can do it, Mom. You don’t have to stay behind to take care of me. Since Uncle Mingyu is looking for you, you can go ahead and do your work."

"Alright then!"

Ye Qingwan held Ye Zixi’s hand and handed her over to Ji Tianheng.

"Then I’ll have to trouble you to take care of my son."

"Leave it to me!"

Ji Tianheng had his wish fulfilled and smiled brightly.

Ji Tianheng held Ye Zixi’s hand and walked into Jiang Mianmian’s apartment.

Lu Mingyu watched their figures disappear into the corridor and could not help but laugh.

He said,

"So this is what this guy was planning. Even I was kept in the dark! No wonder they all said that the longest path in the world was Lawyer Ji’s trick. He was also good at scamming his friends!"

Ye Qingwan looked at him and smiled knowingly.

"You still think you have a bargain, don’t you? Was this the legendary tactic of selling you and counting the money for him?"

Lu Mingyu had a sad look on his face. He placed his hand on his chest and pretended to be injured.

"I received a critical hit of 10,000 points. I can’t take it anymore. I won’t feel balanced if I don’t let him bleed today. Let’s go, Wanwan. Let’s go to a high-class restaurant and order the most expensive food. I’ll ask him to reimburse us." NovelFire

Ye Qingwan couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Lu Mingyu’s pitiful look and his harsh words.

"That’s a good suggestion. Look around and see if there are any expensive restaurants nearby."

 

Chapter 552: Reuniting After A Long Time

Lu Mingyu smiled and said,

"I know a Japanese restaurant nearby that’s not bad. The shop isn’t big, and everything is air-shipped in the same day. It’s very fresh and not cheap. Therefore, there were not many people, it was very quiet, and the service was good."

"Brother Mingyu’s recommendation must be good. Let’s go there then. It’s not far, right?"

"Not far, within three kilometers."

"Alright, then I’ll go and avenge you."

Lu Mingyu drove while Ye Qingwan sat in the passenger seat. The two of them went to the Japanese restaurant that Lu Mingyu mentioned.

"I really didn’t expect that Teacher Jiang and Ji Tianheng were fated to be like this."

In the car, Ye Qingwan couldn’t help but sigh.

"I only know that he broke up with his ex-girlfriend, but I didn’t hear him say that Zixi went to the same school. This kid was becoming more and more secretive."

Ten minutes later, the car arrived at the Japanese restaurant that Lu Mingyu had mentioned.

As Lu Mingyu had said, the environment inside was quiet and there were almost no guests. View the correct content at NovelFire

Looking at the menu, the prices were frighteningly expensive, but the food was indeed very fresh.

Salmon sashimi, Kobe Wagyu beef, foie gras caviar...

Lu Mingyu really didn’t stand on ceremony and pointed at the most expensive dishes.

He threatened to eat Ji Tianheng until he went bankrupt to relieve the hatred in his heart.

At this moment, Ji Tianheng and Ye Zixi, who didn’t know that someone had already hated them, arrived at Jiang Mianmian’s house together.

Ji Tianheng, who had always been calm and self-contained, had fought hundreds of lawsuits, and had never changed his expression in a verbal battle with various elite lawyers and inspectors.

However, when she rang the doorbell, she was so nervous that her palms were sweating.

Hearing the doorbell ring, Jiang Mianmian, who was wearing a crown and a princess dress, opened the door.

Everyone came to attend her birthday party, which made Jiang Mianmian, who had always been a tomboy, suddenly become reserved.

She obediently allowed her mother to do whatever she wanted. She combed her beautiful hair and wore a beautiful dress.

He spent a wonderful day with his friends in a gentle and friendly manner.

"Ye Zixi!"

Jiang Mianmian’s eyes lit up when she saw Ye Zixi. The smile on her face was so bright that it almost revealed her true colors.

"Welcome, Ye Zixi. Come on in!"

Jiang Mianmian opened the door and invited Ye Zixi and his guardian in.

"But, Ye Zixi, who is this uncle? He doesn’t seem to be your father."

Only then did Jiang Mianmian notice.

Ye Zixi and Ye Zixi appeared together. It was not a man with the same face as Ye Zixi, but a strange face.

" Oh, he’s my mom’s friend." By the way, uncle, what’s your name? Come and introduce yourself!"

Ye Zixi looked up at Ji Tianheng, who was standing beside her.

Looking at the doll-like little angel in front of him, Ji Tianheng subconsciously squatted down.

"My name is Ji Tianheng. Is today your birthday? Happy birthday, baby."

Jiang Mianmian saw that this strange uncle was looking at her with a strange gaze.

She subconsciously took a step back and said,

"Welcome, the wind is strong at the door, come in quickly!"

Although it was freezing outside, the room was air-conditioned.

In addition, there were many children with them, and the carbon dioxide they exhaled was intertwined.

Jiang Mianmian only dared to wear a princess dress after making the room as warm as spring.

"Jiang Mianmian, this is a gift for you."

Ye Zixi quickly handed over the gift box that she had been holding in her arms.

Just now in the elevator, Ji Tianheng wanted to help him hold it, but Ye Zixi didn’t even let him touch it.

Ji Tianheng and Ye Zixi entered the room, took off their coats and shoes, changed into slippers, and entered the living room.

Jiang Luan, who was calling the other guests to prepare food, turned around.

Her eyes instantly met Ji Tianheng’s, and the smile on her face froze for a moment. Then, she looked at Jiang Mianmian in panic.

Seeing that Jiang Mianmian had already pulled Ye Zixi along to play with the other children, she was slightly relieved.

However, why was he here?

What was the purpose of his sudden appearance?

Their gazes met across the air. The hot air roasted Jiang Luan’s face, and her heart unexpectedly accelerated and beat wildly.

After not seeing him for a few years, Ji Tianheng had not become greasy. Instead, he had become more and more evolved, and his expression was confident and calm.

Separated by this group of lively and noisy children, she was right in front of him, but it felt like a lifetime ago.

 

Chapter 553: Destined

In the Japanese restaurant.

Ye Qingwan, who was supposed to eat less tonight, had two plates of A4 grade Wagyu beef.

When roasting, she only needed to sprinkle a little salt. The fragrant beef was tender and juicy, and it melted in her mouth. It was so delicious that she almost swallowed her tongue.

A plate of beef was sold for nearly 1,000 yuan. If it was not delicious, it would not be worth the price.

"I should have called Leng Xiaoduan along!"Ye Qingwan, who didn’t dare to eat too much, looked at the high-end dishes in front of her and said regretfully.

It is the so-called, eat your own sad tears, eat other people’s sweat.

Since he was going to eat the rich, he should release his super strong combat power and eat the rich until their faces turned pale.

Unfortunately, Ye Qingwan was too self-disciplined.

Eating two plates of Wagyu beef in a row was already his limit. He could only look at the various delicacies on the table and sigh.

Her phone rang. Ye Qingwan picked it up and saw that it was Mrs. Lu.

She glanced at Lu Mingyu, turned her body slightly, and picked up the call.

"Godmother?"

"Wanwan, are you busy now? Will I disturb you?"

"No need to disturb me. I just finished eating and was resting. Has Godmother eaten?"

"I just ate a little too. I don’t have much of an appetite."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mother Lu made her intentions clear.

"Wanwan, I’ve been so worried these past two days."

"Godmother, what are you worried about?"

"A few days ago, I saw Mingyu talking and laughing on the phone with a girl. I thought he had a chance, so I ignored him. He has not done anything for the past two days. What do you think he lacks?"

".."

"He’s good-looking, has a good character, and has a stable job. He’s in his prime. How did he manage to stay at home two days a day?"

If he really agreed with that sentence, the emperor would not be anxious, but the eunuch would be.

In the entire A Country, parents were the ones who were worried about their children’s marriage.

While discussing this with Mama Lu in front of the person involved, Ye Qingwan stole a few glances at Lu Mingyu from time to time.

On the other end of the phone, Mother Lu, who was starting to talk, felt wronged and depressed.

He was scolding his son, who was disappointed in Ye Qingwan.

"Previously, I was planning to introduce him to a few girls with good family backgrounds and good looks."

".."

"At that time, I thought he had a girl he liked, so I temporarily put it aside. Now, he gets impatient whenever I mention this topic to him. I’m afraid that only when you talk to him can he be a little more pleasant."

"Wanwan, why don’t you help me ask him if he’s dating anyone? I’ll have a plan then." freeNovelFire.c o(m)

"I got it, Godma. I’ll help you say hi, okay?"

Ye Qingwan comforted Mother Lu and agreed to help her ask Lu Mingyu about it before ending the call.

"My mom called?"

Lu Mingyu, who was observing Ye Qingwan’s expression while enjoying the delicious food, vaguely recognized his mother’s voice.

Ye Qingwan nodded.

"Godmother asked me to ask if you have a boyfriend. She’s so anxious."

Lu Mingyu glanced at her, and the sashimi dragon in front of him no longer smelled good.

He asked calmly," Did she ask you to persuade me to go on a blind date?"

"Actually, blind dates are also a way to meet people."

" I don’t think there’s a need to deny it." Ye Qingwan tried to persuade him tactfully. Through the screening of the elders, they could at least avoid the risks of their background. As long as they understood the other party’s character, it would be fine."

Lu Mingyu smiled bitterly.

"How can I not know what you’re saying?"

It’s hard to find water in the vast sea, but it’s hard to find clouds in Wushan Mountain.

She had seen the most beautiful scenery and her heart had been moved by this most beautiful scenery.

How could he be interested in anything else?

"I just don’t want to go on blind dates with the intention of getting married. It’s best to let nature take its course. I’m lucky to get it. If not, it’s my fate."

".."

"Actually, I believe in fate now. Do you believe in fate? There were many things in this world that were already predestined."

For example, You and My

 

Chapter 554: Grave Robbing

A few days later, Gu Shimo suddenly received a call from Manager Meng of the cemetery management office.

"Mr. Gu, I’m sorry. I really don’t have the face to see you."

On the phone, Manager Meng was anxious and angry. He was about to cry.

"What happened?"

Gu Shimo’s gaze changed slightly, and an ominous feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

His tone remained calm.

"Your mother’s grave has been robbed. I don’t know what kind of person would do such a wicked thing. Mr. Gu, can you come over now?"

Gu Shimo’s voice sank." When did this happen?"

"It should have been stolen last night because I go to patrol every day. It was fine yesterday, but I realized that something was wrong today...I’ve already called the police."

"I’ll go over immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Shimo drove straight to Qingshan Cemetery.

When Gu Shimo rushed to Qingshan Cemetery, there were already patrol officers who had received a report and had come to check the scene. They were interrogating the management staff and recording their statements.

In recent years, the whole country had begun to implement the Safe City Sky Eye Cover Operation.

Green Mountain Cemetery was included in the coverage area because it was attached to South City. Last year, surveillance cameras had been installed at the entrance.

However, there were only people in the cemetery during the day. Who would stay here at night?

Moreover, it was different from the past. Who would be buried with some funerary objects?

Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any public security or criminal cases in the graveyard area at night. Grave robbing was even more unthinkable.

Therefore, the cemetery area was basically unguarded at night.

Last time.

Gu Shimo activated his ability to earn money and told Manager Meng that he was preparing to move the tomb.

Manager Meng was a little more attentive. He would go to the back of the mountain every day to take a look at Tang Ying’s grave.

Otherwise, why would he spend time doing such a boring thing?

It was also because of this that he found out about Tang Ying’s tomb being robbed in time.

In fact, he had a moment of hesitation, thinking that the ashes were the same.

He could just casually get an urn and put some ashes inside. Was Gu Shimo going to open the urn and check it when he moved the grave?

However, the traces of the old coffin sealing the cave were obviously different from the traces of the recently sealed cave.

This was very difficult to fool.

Manager Meng finally gave up on the idea of trying to be smart.

After calling the police, she immediately called Gu Shimo to explain the situation.

He had done what he was supposed to do, and the other unexpected situations could not be blamed on him.

The police came to check the scene.

Take photos and seal off the scene.

When he was about to retrieve the surveillance cameras, he realized that the surveillance cameras at the entrance had been destroyed.

The last scene in the monitoring room was also pitch black. NovelFire

Because no one went in or out at night, there were no street lamps installed here.

There was no way to know what happened last night.

When Manager Meng saw Gu Shimo, he immediately informed the police officers at the scene of his identity.

"Are you the son of the tomb owner?"

The police officer asked.

The policeman did not know Gu Shimo.

Although he felt that this matter was quite ridiculous.

However, since the police had already received the call and arrived at the scene, they still had to do what they had to do.

"My name is Gu Shimo. This is my name card."

Gu Shimo’s expression darkened.

He took out his name card and handed it to the policeman.

The policeman glanced at his business card and his expression changed.

When he opened his mouth again, his attitude was very respectful, completely different from when he was acting like a traitor just now. Correct content is on NovelFire.

"Mr. Gu, I’m sorry. I want to ask, who was the one who buried your mother? I want to verify if there is anything else in the coffin other than the urn."

If it wasn’t for the benefits, who would risk their lives to rob a tomb on a dark and windy night? It wasn’t like the tombs of ancient kings and marquises.

"The person who was buried should have already passed away, but I guess there shouldn’t be anything else in the coffin other than an urn."

"Can Mr. Gu provide any clues?"

Since he didn’t come for profit, then he came for revenge?

"Not yet. I’ll go back and sort it out. I’ll contact you if I have any clues."

" Alright, that’s good. I’ll leave a police contact card for you, Mr. Gu.""

After the police officer handed him the card, he left the cemetery in a hurry.

Gu Shimo did not want to waste police resources. He could guess that this must have been committed by an acquaintance.

What was there to steal from an unrepaired nameless tomb?

 

Chapter 555: Confrontation

The most ridiculous thing was that he did not steal early or late.

It was stolen when Gu Shimo was about to move the tomb.

This was too obvious.

The first suspect that popped out of Gu Shimo’s mind was Tang Baiyong.

Because, Tang Baiyong’s motive was the most sufficient.

Gu Shimo immediately called Zuo Zhi and told him what had happened at the cemetery.

He then told the Left Hand about his suspicions.

"Although there is no evidence to prove that he did it. However, before the truth was revealed, he could not let go of any suspect."

Gu Shimo ordered Zuo Zhi to find this grave robber. Correct content is on NovelFire.

He wanted to see what kind of person could do such a thing.

"Got it, grandpa! Then I’ll immediately send someone to monitor Tang Bai Yong, and report back to master once I see his movements."

"Yes."

Gu Shimo’s eyes darkened as he looked ahead.

On the way back, Gu Shimo was still guessing who the second and third suspects were.

An hour later.

When Gu Shimo was about to reach the company, he received a call from Zuo Zhi.

"Master, Tang Baiyong left Tang Yiheng’s house. I sent someone to follow him for a while and found that they were heading towards the airport."

Airport?

Was he preparing to return to Hillford?

Tang Baiyong had been in the south city for more than half a month, and he had only met him once and talked to him once. Was he going to return empty-handed like this?

Gu Shimo had thought that he would learn from Zhuge Liang and visit the thatched cottage three times.

No matter what, she should at least try to meet him again to negotiate. Why did he suddenly want to leave?

It was difficult for Gu Shimo not to associate his actions with the grave robbing incident.

Actually, when the negotiations between the two sides had collapsed, Gu Shimo had also deliberately resisted with a rebellious mentality.

Since he, Tang Bai Yong, wanted him to acknowledge his ancestors, he should have at least some respect and sincerity, right?

Even if they didn’t put up a show, they had to at least have a grand occasion where both parties would talk formally.

This old fellow didn’t care about martial ethics.

Without saying a word, he ran straight to the cemetery and prepared to move Tang Ying’s grave away.

Wasn’t this a show of strength for Gu Shimo?

Gu Shimo was such a proud person. How could he succumb to the other party’s tyranny?

He didn’t give Tang Bai Yong a chance, and he had embarrassed Tang Bai Yong.

In that case, it was not impossible for Tang Baiyong to dig up Tang Ying’s grave and take away her ashes in a fit of anger, making Gu Shimo refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit.

From the last incident, it could be seen that Tang Baiyong’s bandit methods of striking first to gain the upper hand had long been practiced to perfection.

Gu Shimo’s suspicion of him was not considered unjust!

In addition, Tang Baiyong was heading straight to the airport, preparing to return to the capital!

Gu Shimo’s anger rose.

Tang Baiyong doesn’t care about his face, he cares about his age, he cares about his time and ink, he has a bottom line!

"Let them continue to follow me. I’ll turn around and go to the airport immediately!"

Gu Shimo took off his Bluetooth earpiece and turned on the turn signal. He immediately turned around at the intersection and chased after the airport.

Gu Shimo hurried over and finally arrived before Tang Baiyong and the others could check in their luggage.

"Gu Shimo?

It was Tang Yiheng who saw him off first, and his expression was slightly surprised.

"Are you here to send my grandfather off?"

Gu Shimo did not answer directly. He only looked at Tang Baiyong, who was waiting at the side with his hands behind his back.

"Elder Tang, can I have a chat with you?"

When Tang Baiyong turned his head and saw him, he was originally delighted, thinking that he had thought things through and changed his mind.

When she focused again, she noticed that there was something wrong with Gu Shimo’s expression.

"Looks like I’m going to be happy for a while."

Tang Baiyong laughed at himself, and walked toward the empty space on the side.

Gu Shimo followed him and asked him directly,"

"Why did the old master suddenly say that he wanted to go back? Could it be to hide something shameful?"

Tang Baiyong looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze. Gu Shimo’s tone made him feel uncomfortable.

"Gu Shimo, even if you don’t want to acknowledge me as your grandfather, you don’t have to be so sarcastic, right?

Although I’m old and muddle-headed, I’m not so muddle-headed that I don’t know what’s good for me. We are all sensible people, so there is no need to beat around the bush. Tell me, which part of me has offended you?"

 

Chapter 556: Grave Robber

Tang Baiyong had been in a high position for a long time, and the prestige he had accumulated over the decades was not to be trifled with.

As soon as he took it seriously, this imposing aura immediately appeared.

However, Gu Shimo was the same kind of person as him.

The cold and powerful aura in his bones was released, and it instantly became a battlefield without smoke.

The air froze for a few seconds.

"Last night, my mother’s grave was robbed, and her urn was missing."

Gu Shimo’s tone was cold as he taunted Tang Ying’s ashes.

" What?!"

Tang Baiyong was also shocked.

"Which bastard did this?"

In an instant, he suddenly realized why Gu Shimo had rushed to the airport to send him off.

"Gu Shimo, you don’t think that I did it, do you?"

Tang Baiyong pointed his right index finger at himself and looked at Gu Shimo with a look of disbelief and indignation.

Since he had already said that, Gu Shimo did not need to care about his reputation anymore.

"Elder Tang, have you forgotten your previous criminal record? Last time, if I hadn’t stopped you in time, didn’t you also directly dig up the grave and take away my mother’s urn?"

"Impudent!"

Tang Bai Yong berated him, his eyes wide open like copper bells.

"I was just bluffing last time to lure you out to meet me. You actually... Gu Shimo, in your eyes, am I such a despicable and shameless person?"

Tang Baiyong’s heart ached a little. At the same time, he was angry and disappointed with Gu Shimo.

"Humph!"

Gu Shimo snorted coldly.

Tang Baiyong was so angry that his face turned ashen.

"Gu Shimo, use your shrewd brain to think about it! Even if I really want to move Xiao Ying’s tomb, I can go through the process openly.

I’m her father. Her name is still on the Tang family’s household register!

But you, how can you prove that you’re her mother?!

It’s easy for me to take Xiao Ying away. Do I have to be so sneaky?"

Gu Shimo was also worried and confused.

Tang Bai Yong had given him such a preconceived impression.

In addition, he was already against the Tang family, and Tang Baiyong had suddenly returned to the capital.

It was reasonable for Gu Shimo to list Tang Baiyong as the number one suspect in a moment of desperation.

Seeing that Old Master Tang had lost his temper and hearing that what he said was not unreasonable, Gu Shimo hesitated for a moment and did not know what to say.

Tang Baiyong saw that he was silent and thought that he was still stubborn, insisting that he was a grave robber robber.

He flew into a rage.

"Alright, alright, alright. Gu Mo, you’re really something! I’ll get them to pull out the luggage and open them all for you to check one by one! I, Tang Baiyong, have been unhindered throughout my life. I don’t want to lose my integrity in my later years before I die!"

"No need!"

Gu Shimo reached out to stop him.

It was a little awkward, but at the same time, she felt relieved.

Fortunately, it wasn’t Tang Baiyong.

Even if he had no feelings for anyone in the Tang family, in the end, he still hoped that Tang Bai would never be such a sinister and despicable person.

"I was reckless." View the correct content at NovelFire

Gu Shimo straightened his attitude and faced his mistake.

"Then I’ll go back first. I wish you a safe journey, Old Master!"

After saying that, he nodded at Tang Baiyong and left the airport in big strides.

Although it was now confirmed that Tang Baiyong wasn’t the one who did this.

However, Gu Shimo had a feeling that this matter would more or less have something to do with Tang Baiyong.

What kind of person would be so hostile to someone who had passed away thirty years ago and would do something so despicable as to dig up the grave of an old friend?

Tang Ying had been buried on the mountain for so many years, and no one cared about her.

How could it make sense if he wasn’t someone he knew?

As Gu Shimo walked towards the parking lot, he called Zuo Zhi.

"I’ve already rushed to the airport to see Tang Baiyong."

"What was the result?"

"He probably didn’t do it."

Gu Shimo briefly explained his deduction and said,

"What kind of value does the ashes of a person who has passed away for many years have to make someone do such a crazy thing?

The people who will be affected and angry because of this are me and Tang Baiyong.

And there are only two or three people who are related to us at the same time."

Chapter 557: The Blood of the Tang Family

Gu Shimo entered the parking lot of the terminal building, found his car, and met up with Zuo Zhi, who was waiting there.

He analyzed coldly.

"Regardless of whether you provoke me or Tang Bai Yong, the other party will always benefit.

This was a trap set by the other party, a conspiracy. Zuo Zhi, buy a ticket immediately and go to the capital to investigate Tang Songkang."

"Master, are you suspecting...?"

"Let’s investigate first."

"Alright, Master!"

——

At this moment, in the Tang family in Beijing.

In the study, Tang Songkang was flipping through the new quarter’s financial report when there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

"Eldest Young Master!"

The person who came in was Tang Songkang’s confidant.

"What is it?"

Tang Songkang didn’t even raise his head and asked casually.

The confidant smiled and said,"

"I just received a call. The thing you wanted has arrived in Hillford."

Tang Songkang raised his head. His eyebrows twitched imperceptibly, but his tone was calm and natural.

"I understand."

He tapped his fingers on the table as if he was talking to himself." Your actions are faster than I expected.""

——

In the airport waiting room.

With Tang Baiyong as the leader, Xue Yunfei, Yang Feng, He Yutang and his son followed him back to the capital.

Just now, when Tang Baiyong had been called to the side by Shi Mo, the few of them had only watched from afar.

Although he couldn’t hear what the two of them were talking about, it was not difficult to see from their expressions that they had a fierce argument.

After Gu Shimo left, the few of them quickly went up to Tang Baiyong.

However, Tang Baiyong’s furious expression made none of them dare to open their mouths to ask.

Until they passed the security check.

After sitting down in the waiting room, Tang Baiyong’s emotions had obviously calmed down a little. Only then did Xue Yunfei muster up the courage to go up and ask for information.

"Old Master, it’s so tiring for you to sit upright like this. Why don’t you lean back?"

Xue Yunfei stood up and walked behind Tang Baiyong, carefully pressing his stiff shoulders against the back of the chair.

She placed her hands on his shoulders and gently massaged him.

"Old Master, do you feel better now?"

Tang Baiyong was really furious.

That brat, Gu Shimo, not only did he not accept his good intentions, he even slandered him.

Gu Shimo was the only person who would dare to speak to him in such a tone.

Why don’t you try talking rudely to someone else?

"Feifei, you have to send me back. Look at the people around me."

The human heart was like this. When one saw something alone, they might not feel anything.

However, when another similar object appeared, they could not help but compare it.

Compared to Gu Shimo’s rudeness, Tang Baiyong was more convinced by Xue Yunfei’s understanding.

"Old Master, don’t burden me. I just want to find an excuse to play for two more days. Work matters, client relationships, and social interactions were often suffocating. Sometimes, they couldn’t help but want to escape."

Xue Yunfei spoke softly, her hands moving non-stop.

Not only did he make Tang Bai Yong’s body comfortable, but he also calmed down his anger.

"Your mouth is still so good at talking."

When he thought of Gu Shimo’s attitude just now, Tang Baiyong’s heart instantly turned sour again.

"Much stronger than some people."

When Xue Yunfei heard this, she knew that he was talking about Gu Shimo.

He went with the flow and asked,

"Did Gu Shimo make Old Master angry? What did he say to make our kindest and magnanimous Elder Tang angry?"

"A little bit."

Although he was angry at Gu Shimo, Tang Baiyong still did not mention that Tang Ying’s tomb had been robbed.

"Did Old Master persuade him to go back to Hillford with you, but he refused?"Xue Yunfei guessed. View the correct content at NovelFire

"Hmph, that kid is very stubborn. I don’t know who he is like."

Xue Yunfei smiled gently.

"Old Master, don’t you think he looks a lot like you when you were young?"

They were equally proud, confident, and would not easily compromise with others.

"No matter what, the blood of the Tang family flows in his body. How can he not look like it?"

Although he was very dissatisfied with Gu Shimo, Tang Baiyong still had a hint of admiration and joy when he mentioned Gu Shimo.

 

Chapter 558: Suspecting Ye Qingwan

"You’re right."

Xue Yunfei continued.

"A family is always connected by blood. Who could resist returning to their family? Unless someone was deliberately hinting and guiding them to not reunite."

Tang Baiyong’s eyes raised, his heart seemingly moved.

He couldn’t help but think of why he had opposed Tang Ying and Xiaoxuan Gu’s relationship.

Because he had very high standards for his son-in-law.

Now, it was Gu Shimo’s turn.

There was already a woman by Gu Shimo’s side.

This woman, on the other hand, had lost both her parents. She was an orphan with an ominous fate.

According to the Tang family’s standards for choosing a daughter-in-law, it was obvious that this woman did not meet the requirements.

And this woman was pregnant with Gu Shimo’s child at such a young age.

From this, it could be seen that she was not a simple-minded woman.

Once he accepted that Ye Qingwan was a scheming woman.

Tang Baiyong couldn’t help but wonder if Ye Qingwan had gotten someone to steal Tang Ying’s ashes.

She wanted to anger Gu Shimo and achieve her goal of driving a wedge between him and the Tang family.

The more Tang Baiyong thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

When a woman was vicious, she could do anything.

If it was such a terrifying woman...

Tang Baiyong waved at Yang Feng.

"Feng ’er, come here for a moment."

Because Yang Feng couldn’t stand Xue Yunfei’s servile manner, he sat a few seats away from her.

Hearing Tang Baiyong’s call, he put away his phone and walked to Tang Baiyong.

"Grandpa, what is it?"

"Give Ye Qingwan a call. I want to talk to her."

"Okay, Grandpa."

Yang Feng didn’t understand, but since it was Tang Baiyong’s request, he would do as he was told.

After making the call, he handed the phone to Tang Baiyong.

He picked up his phone and walked to a quiet place.

"Yang Feng? Why aren’t you saying anything?"

On the other end of the phone, Ye Qingwan thought it was Yang Feng.

"Miss Ye, I’m Tang Baiyong."

Tang Baiyong stopped in his tracks and took the initiative to report his identity.

"It’s Old Master Tang. Hello, Old Master. May I know what instructions you have for me?"

"Didn’t I ask you to help me last time? I wonder if you’ve thought about that matter?"

At that time, he had sincerely negotiated with Ye Qingwan.

He even specially arranged for Tang Yiheng to play the emotional card.

However, it seemed that not only did she not consider it seriously, but she had also become a considerable obstacle.

"Elder Tang, I’m sorry to disappoint you."

Ye Qingwan said helplessly.

"I might be powerless in this matter. I respect Gu Shimo’s decision."

"Then, let me ask Miss Ye, what is Gu Shimo’s decision?"

Over the phone, Ye Qingwan didn’t know what Tang Baiyong meant by this question.

"Brother Shi Mo should have rejected your suggestion, right?"

"Miss Ye, do you think inheriting the Tang Empire is a good thing or a bad thing for him?"

Ye Qingwan didn’t answer.

"I think, as long as it’s not against my conscience, then the answer is definitely yes." Since it was a good thing for him, why didn’t Miss Ye support it? Could it be that Miss Ye had her own selfish motives?"

"Old Master must be joking. Brother Shi Mo is a mature person. He is the decision-maker of the Gu Corporation.

Whether it’s good or bad, he will have his own independent judgment. I can’t interfere, nor will I influence his thoughts. I wonder why Qing Wan is so selfish?"

"Miss Ye didn’t even know to fight for Gu Shimo when she had such a good opportunity. In that case, how did Miss Ye think that she could help Gu Shimo in his career?"

".."

Ye Qingwan was speechless.

Tang Baiyong hung up the phone after the announcement of the flight ticket checking sounded on the radio.

His unhappy relationship with Gu Shimo today had really affected his mood.

Ye Qingwan’s attitude made Tang Baiyong’s mood even worse.

He couldn’t help but believe what Xue Yunfei had said. Ye Qingwan probably knew that she wasn’t good enough for Gu Shimo. View the correct content at NovelFire.

That was why she tried her best to stop Gu Shimo from returning to the Tang family.

Even if she didn’t try to stop him, she didn’t do anything.

What Tang Baiyong wanted to know the most was whether the tomb robber was Ye Qingwan.

Marriage could only last for a long time if the two families were of equal social status, and it could also promote the prosperity of the two families.

An ominous person without parents, let alone a woman who did such a sinister thing as grave robbing, was indeed unable to enter the Tang family.

Ye Qingwan, was it you or not?

 

Chapter 559: Chapter 559-Suspect

On the plane.

For safety reasons, when they booked the return ticket, Old Master Tang asked He Yutang to buy all the first class seats.

Therefore, he had no choice.

There were only five of them in the first-class cabin.

Old Master Tang and Yang Feng sat in the middle row, while He Yu and his son sat in front and behind respectively.

Xue Yunfei sat on the seat across the aisle.

Just now in the waiting room, Yang Feng did not speak to Tang Baiyong.

After the plane rose to a stable altitude, Yang Feng found an opportunity to ask Tang Baiyong.

His tall and straight body leaned forward in the direction of Tang Baiyong.

She asked in a low voice,"Grandpa, what happened?" What did you say to Ye Qingwan?"

Hearing Ye Qingwan’s name, Tang Baiyong’s face darkened.

He didn’t intend to talk about that matter.

However, Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan’s attitude just now had made him extremely dissatisfied.

In addition, Yang Feng was not an outsider.

Tang Baiyong told her about Tang Ying’s grave robbery and how Gu Shimo had come to the airport to interrogate her.

Compared to before, Tang Baiyong’s mood was much calmer.

When he was narrating, his tone was still considered calm.

Yang Feng frowned when he heard this, and he felt a little angry for Tang Baiyong.

"This Gu Shimo is really a little too much. He clearly knew that he was your grandson, but not only did he disrespect you, he even chased you to the airport to question you because he suspected you. How preposterous. After we land, I’ll give him a call and teach him a lesson."

Tang Baiyong waved his hand.

"I can understand why he doesn’t trust me and has a misunderstanding and resentment towards me."

Tang Baiyong calmed Yang Feng down.

"Feng, why don’t you try to solve the case? Who do you think took away your aunt Tang Ying’s ashes?"

"This is a little hard to say."

From the corner of his eye, Yang Feng saw Xue Yunfei eavesdropping on their conversation.

He simply pointed at her and pointed at Tang Baiyong.

"Grandpa, I suspect that she did it!"

Xue Yunfei was already complaining about being separated from the others.

He watched as Yang Feng followed closely behind Tang Baiyong, the grandfather and grandson chatting intimately. NovelFire

She had completely treated Yang Feng as a target to compete with her.

At this moment, Yang Feng suddenly pointed at him.

Her tone immediately turned hostile as she shouted at him," Why are you pointing at me? Did I offend you again?"

Yang Feng made a face at her.

Ignoring her, he explained his reason to Tang Baiyong,

"You don’t know, but after I found Little Aunt’s grave, Xue Yunfei rushed to the cemetery the next day after smelling the smell. It means that she has been observing and following us."

This was the first time Tang Baiyong had heard of this.

"I guess she was in a hurry to find Xiao Ying’s whereabouts and bumped into you guys by chance, right? I don’t think she did it this time. She has no motive."

Yang Feng thought about it and felt that what Tang Baiyong said was indeed reasonable.

Xue Yunfei was the most supportive of Gu Shimo’s return to his family.

She had stolen Tang Ying’s grave, so she really couldn’t send it over.

"Who could it be?"

Yang Feng was also stunned." Didn’t Gu Shimo call the police? What about the surveillance cameras?"

"I didn’t ask for the details, but with Gu Shi Mo’s personality, he must have done everything he needed to, right?"

Tang Baiyong threw out another possibility.

"Do you think it’s Ye Qingwan?"

"??"

Tang Baiyong’s suspect made Yang Feng confused.

"Why would Grandpa think that it was Ye Qingwan? Was this what you were discussing with Ye Qingwan on the phone just now?"

"That’s not it. I asked her again, hoping that she could try to convince Gu Shimo, but she rejected my request."

Tang Baiyong continued his analysis.

"A calm, wise, and ambitious man knows what it means to join the Tang family. Would he give up such a good opportunity?"

Tang Baiyong really could not figure out what Gu Shimo was thinking.

"I have a feeling that things are not as simple as they seem. Ye Qingwan was not a simple woman, was she?"

"Grandpa, your suspicion is groundless, just like how Gu Shimo suspected you."

 

Chapter 560: Explanation

Seeing that Tang Baiyong’s thoughts were a little off, Yang Feng quickly thought of a way to correct him.

He said seriously," Grandpa, I’ve known Ye Qingwan for a few years. I know what kind of person she is.""

Seeing that Tang Baiyong wasn’t speaking.

He continued," That’s Gu Shimo’s biological mother’s grave. She wouldn’t do anything to hurt Gu Shimo. Doing so would not benefit her at all. Besides, I can guarantee her character."

Tang Baiyong looked at him and sighed helplessly.

"Don’t you know that people can change? I know you have a personal relationship with her, but you can’t tell a person’s heart from their appearance. Especially in the face of huge benefits, it was difficult to say clearly."

Yang Feng didn’t expect that Ye Qingwan’s image in Tang Baiyong’s mind would suddenly drop.

He couldn’t help but feel a little anxious, so he took the initiative to defend Ye Qingwan,"

"Grandpa, I’ve been dealing with Ye Qingwan for a few years. You’ve only met her once and talked to her on the phone once. I promise you, she is not the kind of person to do such a despicable thing."

He was just short of raising his finger to swear.

Tang Baiyong stared at Yang Feng’s serious and anxious expression.

" Xiao Feng, are you in love with Ye Qingwan too?""

"Of course not."

"It’s good that you’re not. I saw her face. Her eyebrows were full of love, and her eyes were full of love. She should have had emotional entanglements with several other men. This kind of ominous person can’t enter our Tang family at all."

".."

Yang Feng was so frightened by Tang Bai’s empty fingers that his face twitched.

She quickly clarified," It’s nothing. She and I are just buddies. I’m not interested in things that are taken. However, did Grandpa actually understand physiognomy? Could it be that someone had ulterior motives and slandered you?"

Tang Baiyong glared at him.

"What do you mean? Do you think I’m old and stupid? Who would come and slander me?" freeNovelFire.c o(m)

Yang Feng’s gaze subconsciously turned to Xue Yunfei.

Xue Yunfei was already paying attention to this side, and seeing Yang Feng provoking her again, she was stunned.

Finally, she couldn’t sit still anymore. She dashed over and sat in the row behind Tang Baiyong.

"Yang Feng, what are you doing? What are you badmouthing me again? Old Master, is he slandering me again?"

"No, no."

Tang Baiyong comforted her.

"I was just casually chatting with Xiao Feng."

Xue Yunfei’s mind was sharp.

Although Tang Baiyong did not say anything, she saw Gu Shimo approaching her aggressively.

Tang Baiyong argued with him righteously, but in the end, Gu Shimo returned in defeat.

Tang Baiyong’s face darkened. Later, he borrowed Yang Feng’s phone to call Ye Qingwan, and she could guess the contents of the call.

It seemed that Tang Baiyong was disappointed in Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan.

She was secretly delighted.

As long as Tang Baiyong’s opinion of Ye Qingwan wavered, she would find a suitable time to add fuel to the fire.

He would expose Ye Qingwan’s scandal and kill her with one move.

On the plane, Xue Yunfei secretly pondered over her plan.

On the other side of the capital, Tang Songkang ordered his confidant to put away Tang Ying’s bones that his men had brought back.

He also contacted Xue Hongchang to discuss the plan to eliminate Gu Shimo.

Qingyun Wan.

She ordered takeout for lunch. When Ye Qingwan finished her work and opened the takeout to eat, she realized that the food was cold.

After eating two mouthfuls, she didn’t want to eat anymore.

He heard Leng Xiaoduan inadvertently mention that the weather was cold, so it was best to sit around a stove and eat a spicy hot pot.

Therefore, Ye Qingwan decided to have a dinner party tonight. She asked Leng Xiaoduan to find a good hotpot restaurant and book a big table.

When everyone heard that it was hotpot, they were all excited.

After work, the group went straight to the hotpot restaurant.

Winter was the peak season for hotpot restaurants.

In addition, the business of this hotpot restaurant had always been very good. At this moment, it was even more prosperous.

When Ye Qingwan and the others arrived, the seats were almost full. Fortunately, they had reserved seats in advance.

The air was filled with an alluring fragrance.

Tripe, goose sausage, mutton pot, beer, coke, Wang Laoji.

Everyone toasted and ate until their mouths were oily. Indeed, food was best eaten by fighting over it.

Halfway through the meal, Ye Qingwan got up and went to the bathroom.
