Yan Qingsi felt that all her difficulties were not difficulties at all with this thought, and all the danger she had to face was not dangerous.

  Yue Tingfeng’s arm slowly crept over, then finally wrapped around Yan Qingsi’s waist. A huge grin was on his face……

  At noon, Yue Tingfeng brought Yan Qingsi out. “Let’s go and have lunch.”


  Yan Qingsi got into the car. “Isn’t Auntie coming along?” she asked, curious.

  “Of course not. It’s not suitable to bring an old lady like my mother along. It’s a little heavily seasoned. It’s not to her taste.” Yue Tingfeng extended his hands and helped Yan Qingsi to wear her seatbelt.

  “What are you going to do?” Yan Qingsi asked when she heard this.

  He swiped a finger over the tip of her nose. “You’ll know when you get there.”


  Yan Qingsi did not expect to actually be eating somewhere when they arrived at the destination. However, the place was the club where You Yi had met her.

  Uneasiness crawled over Yan Qingsi. “We’re eating here?”


  “Oh yes. This is not any regular meal, after all.”


  Yue Tingfeng pushed the door open. The moment Yan Qingsi stepped inside, she saw an unconscious Ye Lingzhi slumped over a chair.

  Yan Qingsi now understood what Yue Tingfeng meant when he said that this meal was heavily seasoned.

  The private room was decorated in a traditional Chinese style, exuding elegance in its antiqueness. The scent of sandalwood drifted in the air, creating a sense of calm that suffused all around them.

  “Go sit behind the screen,” Yue Tingfeng said, “In a while, don’t make a single noise no matter what she says. Just listen.”


  Yan Qingsi nodded her head and walked over to the back of the screen, taking a seat there.

  One of Yue Tingfeng’s staff carried a plate of food over. He nudged the top of Yan Qingsi’s head. “Have something first.”


  “Let’s have it together.”


  “I’ll come over after I’ve asked a few questions.”


  Yue Tingfeng picked up a glass of icy cold water from the table. He swept around the screen and stopped before Ye Lingzhi. He flicked his wrist, splashing the water onto her face without a hint of remorse.

  Ye Lingzhi shivered and woke up immediately. Tremble ran throughout her body. She could not make out the person standing before her with water dripping over her eyes.

  The water on her face was wiped off, then she saw Yue Tingfeng. “It’s you…… You kidnapped me! Don’t you dare think that we Yes are so easily bullied.”


  Yue Tingfeng placed the glass on the coffee table beside him and took out a tissue paper, wiping his hands. “It’s every Ye for themself now,” he said slowly, “Who’s going to look after you?”


  The trouble caused by Ye Weiguang for the Ye family had not blown over.

  After that, You Yi created another commotion, throwing the Ye family into internal chaos. Ye Shaoguang was not responding to his summons now, and there were not many capable people left in the Ye family. As for Ye Lingzhi, Ye Jiangong probably did not take her into account anymore!

  Ye Lingzhi’s limbs quivered. “What are you going to do?”


  Yue Tingfeng smiled amicably. “Mrs. Ye, don’t be scared. I brought you over because I wanted to ask you a few questions,” he said, “Just answer honestly if you know the answer. If you really don’t know…… I won’t trouble you either.”


  Ye Lingzhi did not respond. She refused to believe that Yue Tingfeng was that benevolent.

  “What do you want to ask?”


  Yue Tingfeng threw the tissue paper into the trashcan. “Actually, I think you’ve roughly guessed what I want to ask you. It’s about that necklace—the necklace with the silver ginkgo leaf…… Tell me everything you know.”


  “I already told you that I don’t know. I don’t know anything.”


  “You sure you don’t want to talk?” Yue Tingfeng asked lightly.

  “I don’t know what you want me to say!” Ye Lingzhi shrieked.

  “The problem is that your son is now under treatment overseas,” Yue Tingfeng said, tone leisurely, “His life support can be cut off at any time. Did you know that?”
