Seeing that the Emperor-Slaying Alliance was in dire straits, he began to panic, even forgetting the most basic expressions of kinship!

The spies from the Glazed Pavilion and the Dark Night Alliance wouldn't make such a basic mistake!

Because they are professionally trained and have extremely strong willpower, they are willing to pay the price of their lives to complete their missions.

This is the difference between good and evil!

"Of course, as soon as possible." Gu Momo's eyes were smiling, but she hid the coldness in them very well. "Have you noticed anything unusual at the Ye family these past two days? Zhan Ting and I want to re-enter the Ye family's secret passage to investigate some things."

The imposter Fu Jinye narrowed his sharp black eyes, clearly displeased.

He personally handed Gu Momo's four blood jade rings to the alliance leader, but unexpectedly they turned out to be fake!

He is now not only a suspect of the alliance leader, but has also been ordered by the alliance leader to obtain the real Blood Jade Ring.

The alliance leader has recently become extremely irritable for some reason, and even gave him an ultimatum, demanding that he obtain the Blood Jade Ring, otherwise the poison the alliance leader had given him would take effect, and he would surely die!

Even in this situation, Gu Momo and Li Zhanting still want to investigate that secret passage?!

He deliberately plastered a smile on his face: "What are you planning to do in that secret passage? Is there anything else you want to investigate?"

Li Zhanting clearly saw the unnaturalness in his facial muscles and deliberately said, "I remember that the person who passed the position of family head to Ye Rong was the former family head Ye Yan, right? We suspect that Ye Yan has some problems, so we want to investigate him."

"You're actually going to investigate Ye Yan?" The imposter Fu Jinye's eyes flashed with deep shock.

Gu Momo asked with a smile, "Dad, what's wrong? Do you think there's a problem with this?"

"No, no, no... of course there's no problem." The imposter Fu Jinye quickly regained his composure. "It just so happens that during the time you were back, you also secretly sneaked into that secret passage. I'm looking for a place to find out where Ye Yansheng's belongings are hidden. Shall we set a time, and I'll take you there?"

Gu Momo feigned surprise: "Dad, really? Then please take us to see it!"

Looking at the look of surprise on Gu Momo's face, the imposter Fu Jinye chuckled, but his heart was already filled with anger and anxiety.

Although he didn't know why Gu Momo was investigating Ye Yan, he now knew that Gu Momo and Li Zhanting couldn't be allowed to live!

Once Gu Momo and Li Zhanting enter the secret passage, he will take the opportunity to activate the secret passage's mechanism and kill them all!

At that time, the Blood Jade Ring will naturally fall into his hands!

"Oh, right, Dad, Zhan Ting and I still need to see Patriarch Ye Rong. You should go back first, no need to wait for Zhan Ting and me."

As Gu Momo spoke, she quickly grabbed Li Zhanting's hand and they walked together toward Ye Rong Manor.

The imposter Fu Jinye's eyes suddenly turned cold. He quickly took out his phone and made a call: "Go to the secret passage immediately to prepare. This time I must get the Blood Jade Ring, or I won't be able to save my life!"

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting rushed to the manor where Ye Rong was. As soon as they arrived, they heard Ye Rong's furious voice:

"Where's Ye Meng? Why haven't we found Ye Meng yet? Get out! All of you, get out!"

His handsome face contorted with rage, and he slapped all the fruits and tea on the table, knocking them to the ground.

The subordinate was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he scrambled away, shouting, "Yes... I'll leave right now! I'll leave right now!"

His subordinates ran away tremblingly, while Ye Rong angrily slammed his arms on the table, his deep, cold eyes filled with a sinister frost, as if he could annihilate people at any moment.

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting felt a slight chill; it was the first time they had ever seen Ye Rong so out of control.

This kind of panic and recklessness is exactly the same as what Fu Jinye did just now!

But if the imposter Fu Jinye was driven to desperation, what was Ye Rong's reason?

As the two were pondering this, Ye Rong's soothing voice, like that of a cup of sake, came from outside: "Since you two have already come here, why linger outside? My place may be small, but it's not so small that it can't accommodate you both."

The voice was clear and pleasant, yet it clearly suppressed anger, and carried an invisible chill that was terrifying.

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting exchanged glances and walked into the hall: "Patriarch, have you still not found Ye Meng?"

A cold, enigmatic smile played on Ye Rong's handsome face. With a wave of his hand, he returned to his seat as the family head.

"Ye Meng is a lucky person, I believe no one would dare to harm her on my turf! But the two of you coming here, I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it? Have you two come here to demand an explanation?"

Her gentle voice held a coldness and aloofness completely different from before, but Gu Momo pretended not to notice and smiled as she said:

"We just feel that there are still many things about the Ye family that are questionable, so we would like to ask the family head some questions. I wonder if the family head would be so kind as to grant us this request?"

Ye Rong's cold gaze was fixed on the direction directly ahead, his dark eyes gleaming with a chilling, jade-like intensity.

"Before you two ask me your questions, how about I tell you a story first? I wonder if you two would be interested?"

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting had some doubts, but still said, "Please speak, Patriarch."

“Heh…” Ye Rong stood tall and straight, taking long strides to the entrance of the hall.

His cold, deep gaze swept over the entire magnificent Ye family manor, his eyes seemingly concealing endless anger and resentment.

"More than forty years ago, there was a little boy from a wealthy family. From birth, he enjoyed the kind of love that most people could never receive in their entire lives. His mother doted on him, his father loved him, and his grandparents cherished him like a precious treasure. His family's wealth also instilled in him a kind heart and excellent character from a young age. He would even brave the cold to give ants a grain of rice if they passed by, afraid that they would go hungry. This kind-hearted child, praised by everyone, helped a ragged and seriously injured old man when he was three years old. He still remembered the old man's desperate pleas for help before he died, his eyes filled with pity, leaving a deep mark on his heart. So, despite his mother's objections, he took the man home."

"From then on, he took good care of the old man. He shared his best food and his favorite toys with the old man. He never skimped on anything the old man could eat or use. The old man was also very kind to him. He stroked the boy's head and said, 'I will definitely repay you in the future. You must thank me properly then.'"

"At that time, he truly felt that the old man's eyes were the gentlest and most beautiful stars in the world."

At this point, a dark current seemed to surge in Ye Rong's deep eyes, and her voice became even colder and deeper.

Sure enough, he brought the boy a great gift, and that gift changed the boy's life forever.

He gazed at Gu Momo and Li Zhanting with a deep, unsettling look. His gentle and handsome face was smiling so tenderly, but his eyes seemed to conceal countless steel blades, his cold and gloomy expression carrying a gleaming killing intent.
