Five years ago, Gu Momo saved the Empire's richest man and was forced to conceive a child.
Five years later, she returned强势 with countless secret identities. Countless tyants knelt before...
Both the Rong and Li families had served as high-ranking officials in the Criminal Investigation Department, and many members of the Dark Night Alliance were retired personnel from the Criminal Investigation Department.
They were willing to serve Master Ting again, which was the most wonderful thing ever!
When the Ye family members saw Li Zhanting and Gu Momo talking, their expressions became increasingly grim, especially Ye Ruyu, Ye Nanting, and Ye Wanqing, who had just exchanged anxious glances with Ye Lingfeng; their eyes clearly showed that they were holding their anger in.
Ye Rong, however, smiled respectfully at the director and said, "Director, what's going on here...?"
As the head of the Ye family, Ye Rong holds a pivotal position in the entire L country. However, it is rumored that Ye Rong has always lived a secluded life and rarely participates in external struggles, so many people doubt that they can see through Ye Rong's true nature.
However, Ye Rong held a very high position in the hearts of everyone in the Ye family, and everyone in the Ye family was willing to trust him.
However, the director couldn't afford to underestimate someone as influential as Ye Rong, so he explained with a smile:
“Master, eradicating the Emperor-Killing Alliance is what the people want. The Criminal Investigation Department has long since reached a cooperation agreement with Master Ting and Miss Gu. We share intelligence and cooperate with each other, so this time we are also assisting Miss Gu and Master Ting in carrying out their mission in secret. If we have disturbed you, please forgive us.”
Ye Rong smiled slightly: "Director, you're too kind. Since it's the will of the people, our Ye family will naturally support your mission without hesitation. If you don't mind, you're welcome to stay at the Ye family home for the next few days. Please come in."
The gentle voice was like a spring breeze, and the director's eyes were full of smiles.
"Thank you for your understanding, Patriarch! However, we still have a mission outside, so we won't bother you for the next few days."
"Is that so?" Ye Rong's eyes were smiling. "Then I won't insist that you stay. Please, everyone, do as you please."
"Goodbye, Master!" the director said, turning to Gu Momo and Li Zhanting. "Miss Gu, Mr. Ting, we'll take our leave now! We'll be right there if anything happens here. Please be careful, Miss Gu and Mr. Ting!"
With that, the director waved his hand and led his subordinates away in a grand procession.
Watching the director leave with such an imposing air, the Ye family members all looked rather grim, especially Ye Ruyu, Ye Nanting, and Ye Wanqing.
Ye Ruyu gritted her teeth: "Patriarch, are we just going to let them go like this?"
The sound of her gritting her teeth made Gu Momo narrow her eyes and look at Ye Ruyu with curiosity.
According to the information she had, Ye Ruyu was always arrogant and looked down on others because of her extraordinary talent.
But now it seems that she is very respectful to the family head Ye Rong, and there is even a hint of fear in her eyes.
She might not have known how much prestige Ye Rong held in the Ye family before, but now it seems... she understands!
Ye Rong smiled faintly: "Those who come are guests, and it is their freedom to come and go. Why force them?"
After saying that, he waved to Ye Meng from afar, a gentle smile spreading across his deep eyes: "Mengmeng, let's go."
Ye Meng, who was hiding in the shadows, watched everything that was happening in the courtyard. She quickly ran to Ye Rong and took Ye Rong's hand:
"Okay, Uncle!"
As she spoke, she turned back and made a face at Gu Momo and Li Zhanting before happily leaving with Ye Rong.
Seeing Ye Rong leave, Ye Nanting, the son of the Third Master Ye Qingfeng, and Ye Wanqing, the daughter of the Fourth Master Ye Wanjun, hurriedly followed, saying, "Ye Meng, stay away from the Patriarch! Patriarch, someone like Ye Meng cannot be kept by your side!"
But Ye Meng immediately turned around and made a face at the two of them, which made Ye Nanting and Ye Wanqing quite angry.
Now that Ye Rong has left, the Ye family members have become more demanding of Gu Momo and Li Zhanting.
Because they insisted that Gu Momo and Li Zhanting show them the evidence of Ye Lingfeng's murder, Gu Momo and Li Zhanting had no choice but to personally take them to see the machinery and poison that Ye Lingfeng had hidden.
Previously, when the two suspected that Ye Lingfeng might have deliberately appeared to lure them into a trap, they guessed that the evidence they had found might be transferred, so they had secretly sent people to keep an eye on the batch of machinery and medicine.
As expected, Ye Lingfeng sent people to take away the machinery and medicine, and Gu Momo's subordinates took the opportunity to follow them.
So finding this evidence is a piece of cake for them!
By the time Gu Momo and Li Zhanting returned to their new courtyard, it was already late at night.
The two checked the room again and found nothing amiss, so they finally sat down to talk.
"Ye Rong is truly remarkable. The Ye family is currently in dire straits, but unexpectedly, he was able to withstand the pressure from the Ye family and even gain the trust of so many members. This kind of ability is not something that ordinary people can possess."
As Gu Momo sighed, she recalled Ye Rong's soothing voice and felt a deep sense of admiration.
At this moment, Li Zhanting handed a stack of documents to Gu Momo: "Momo, look, I sent someone to look into Ye Rong. Ye Rong made indelible contributions to the prosperity of the Ye family back then, which is why the Ye family trusts him so much."
Gu Momo took the documents, which detailed the hardships and difficulties the Ye family faced during its rise to prominence.
Almost every time, it was Ye Rong who helped the Ye family overcome difficulties; otherwise, the Ye family would never have achieved its current prosperity.
Thinking of this, Gu Momo seemed to realize something: "Wait! Zhan Ting, shouldn't we investigate all the other members of the Ye family? After all, if Ye Lingfeng has problems, then he's definitely not the only one with issues!"
Li Zhanting narrowed his eyes: "That's right!"
They had been wondering about this before, since everyone in the Ye family was an elite in their respective fields, and their thinking and abilities must be extraordinary.
But now it seems that apart from Ye Rong, who has the ability to think independently, the rest of the Ye family members are simply unworthy of their positions!
Since Ye Lingfeng has problems, we have no choice but to investigate the others as well!
Gu Momo smiled: "Then let's rest tonight and recharge. We can discuss how to test the Ye family when we get up tomorrow."
"good!"
Li Zhanting hurriedly hugged Gu Momo tightly and carried her to the bed in a princess carry.
He hasn't made love with Momo for the past few days, so today is the perfect time!
Late at night, Ye Meng tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Thinking about everything that had happened that day, she couldn't sleep all night and finally got out of bed to open the window and get some fresh air.
She gently leaned against the window, her crystal-clear eyes gazing intently at the night view outside, feeling as if everything was a dream.
So, she's a blood relative of the Ye family. She used to think...
However, thinking of her own parents, who died tragically at the hands of the leader of the Emperor-Killing Alliance, Ye Meng felt a sharp pain in her chest.
Just then, an old yet gentle voice quietly came from behind: "Mengmeng, are you still awake?"
