The masked man nodded and made sure to close the door to the secret room before leaving.

Inside the space, Gong Yixue saw it and discussed it with Ye Mohan.

“The room is soundproof. If we go out now, Conrad shouldn’t find us.”

"Let's go and meet the masked man before he gets too far."

Ye Mohan had no objection and nodded in agreement, "Mm."

The two then quietly left the space, stealthily opening the study door and departing.

As soon as I arrived on the first floor, I saw a masked man who seemed to have been waiting there.

Gong Yixue and Ye Mohan exchanged a glance and continued walking towards him.

The masked man's gaze darkened as he saw the two coming downstairs, and he said, "Come with me."

By this time, the two knew that even if the masked man wasn't one of their own, he wouldn't be an enemy.

They then left Conrad's villa with the masked man.

We arrived at a small two-story detached villa not far from the main villa.

In the study, the masked man frowned as he looked at the two people in front of him. "What do you want to know from Conrad?"

He had already told them it was dangerous inside.

Otherwise, he couldn't think of any reason why they insisted on going in.

Gong Yixue said, "Before we answer your question, you answer one of mine first."

The masked man looked at Gong Yixue but didn't say anything.

But this also shows that the masked man allowed her to ask questions.

Gong Yixue didn't stand on ceremony and asked, "Are you friend or foe?"

Although I had some guesses in my mind, nothing was more convincing than hearing it from his own mouth.

The masked man pondered for a moment and said, "We will not be enemies."

Gong Yixue was very clever, and she quickly discerned another meaning from his words.

"So, you're not one of Conrad's people, right?"

This time, the masked man didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Now it's your turn to answer my question."

Gong Yixue's gaze darkened, and she said, "To be honest, our relatives were taken away by Conrad and are now nowhere to be found."

We came here wanting to see him alive or dead.

She was telling the truth.

She felt there was nothing to hide.

The masked man frowned and asked, "Relatives?"

Gong Yixue nodded. "To be precise, they are my parents-in-law."

The masked man was silent for a moment, then asked, "Tell me in detail, maybe I can learn something from it."

Gong Yixue didn't speak directly, but looked at Ye Mohan.

This is Ye Mohan's business, and we should ask for his opinion before we can discuss it.

Ye Mohan received Gong Yixue's gaze, looked at her, and nodded.

The masked man naturally noticed their interaction, but he didn't say anything.

But then a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes as he thought of something.

However, he quickly covered it up.

With Ye Mohan's approval, Gong Yixue omitted the names and locations of the parties involved and told the masked man about the matter.

The masked man was stunned after hearing this.

It took him a while to realize what was happening, and he became extremely excited, saying, "The people you're talking about are from country Z."

Gong Yixue asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gong Yixue realized what was going on.

The masked man must know about his in-laws' past if he says that.

He then asked, "Do you know about this incident from back then?"

The masked man said, "It's more than just knowing."

Thinking of something, she suddenly looked at Ye Mohan, her eyes filled with tears that had been building up.

"So, you are their son, right?"

Although Ye Mohan didn't understand what was going on, he still nodded.

The masked man became even more agitated, and tears welled up in his eyes and burst forth.

Gong Yixue and Ye Mohan were both puzzled, their eyes filled with confusion as they looked at each other.

After a while, the masked man calmed down.

How is your grandfather?

Ye Mohan's eyes widened involuntarily, and he asked, "You know my grandfather?"

The masked man said sadly, "It's more than just knowing each other."

That's his father.

"Mo Han, how have you been these past years?" The masked man changed the subject.

The doubts in their hearts deepened.

Gong Yixue was certain that she had not mentioned Ye Mohan's name to the masked man at all.

How did he know?

Ye Mohan had the same question in his mind.

Suddenly, an idea that seemed like a fantasy to him popped into his head.

He was speechless for a moment.

He was somewhat apprehensive.

I dare not confirm it.

I'm worried that this is just a pipe dream.

The masked man turned around to look at Ye Mohan and said with a smile, "I suppose you've already guessed my identity."

Ye Mohan opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

At this moment, Gong Yixue also came to a conclusion through their conversation.

She asked, "Are you Ye Yunhen?"

Although she also found it somewhat difficult to understand, it was indeed the only thing she could think of at that moment.

The masked man, Ye Yunhen, turned to look at Gong Yixue and said with a smile, "You should call me father."

This is now confirmed.

This man really was her father-in-law, Ye Yunhen.

Gong Yixue obediently called out "Dad," and Ye Yunhen smiled and agreed.

However, his expression was hidden by the mask.

Gong Yixue could only guess from his tone that he was in a good mood.

Since my father-in-law is here, my mother-in-law should be here too.

Gong Yixue asked, "Dad, is Mom here too?"
