Jian Yixue then realized what was going on.

"Your second brother has returned to the country, and Ye Ling'er has been kidnapped by Ye Wenyao."

Zhou Yuxuan was stunned upon hearing this. "Huh?"

Was Ye Ling'er kidnapped, or was she kidnapped by the second master of the Ye family?

What's going on?

Why would someone kidnap someone else's own family?

"Is Master Ye out of his mind? Kidnapping his own family?"

Jian Yixue scoffed, "Who knows him?"

With such family members, she felt even more sorry for Ye Mohan.

Thinking that his second brother had gone back, Zhou Yuxuan was not so nervous. "With my second brother here, Ling'er will be fine."

"Um."

Jian Yixue naturally believed in Ye Mohan's strength and knew that Ye Wenyao was doing this to force Ye Mohan to show himself.

During this time, Ye Mohan stayed with her in Lancheng, and he also arranged for people to protect the old man.

Unable to find anyone, Ye Wenyao would naturally resort to unconventional methods.

She just didn't expect that Ye Wenyao would choose to kidnap Ye Ling'er.

"Hey, wait a minute, my sister-in-law's second brother went back, why didn't you go back with him?" Zhou Yuxuan asked in confusion.

"Well, I still have some things to take care of here. I'll go back as soon as I'm done," Jian Yixue said casually.

She didn't actually have anything she absolutely had to leave behind; she only left it behind so that Ye Mohan could focus on handling things.

Even if she went back, she believed that Ye Mohan could protect her.

Even if something unexpected happens, she can protect herself.

However, it was clear that he was still worried, so she had no choice but to stay and go back later.

Just so he could feel at ease.

Zhou Yuxuan held the phone and nodded.

This explains why the doting brother would leave his wife alone here.

He was unaware of what had happened in Lan City with Jian Yixue, so he did not consider Ye Mohan's considerations.

"Where are you? I'll come pick you up," Jian Yixue, as the host, extended an invitation.

He was her husband's brother. Since her husband wasn't home, she, as the hostess, had to help look after him.

Moreover, she could hear the sounds of planes taking off and landing, as well as other people talking, over the phone, which clearly indicated that Zhou Yuxuan was still at the airport.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan immediately came to his senses. "Sister-in-law. You're coming to pick me up? No, no, just give me an address. I'd better come by myself. If my second brother finds out later, he'll beat me to death if I make you come to pick me up."

Jian Yixue couldn't help but chuckle, "He's not as terrifying as you make him out to be."

"Of course not," Zhou Yuxuan retorted, disagreeing.

He knew his second brother all too well. Ever since his sister-in-law came into the picture, he'd become a giant jealous pot, easily angered and overflowing with jealousy.

He dared not provoke the tiger; if his second brother found out, he would be in big trouble.

Seeing Zhou Yuxuan's resistance, Jian Yixue stopped insisting and said, "I'll send you my location, and you can take a taxi over."

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law." Zhou Yuxuan was very satisfied with the result.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yuxuan suddenly realized something else.

Is it appropriate for him to go looking for his sister-in-law like this since his second brother isn't here?

After thinking it over, I decided it would be safer to stay in a hotel. Just as I was about to send Jian Yixue a text message saying I couldn't go any further, my phone rang.

Zhou Yuxuan looked down and saw the location sent by Jian Yixue.

Should he go over there?

Zhou Yuxuan looked conflicted. After thinking about it, he decided to inform his second brother. If his second brother disagreed, he would definitely call him when he saw the message, and then he could leave.

So Zhou Yuxuan edited a message and sent it.

After sending the message, I felt much more relaxed, hailed a taxi, and prepared to leave.

As soon as I got in the car, my phone rang.

Zhou Yuxuan took out his phone, and when he saw the note on the phone, he felt a clear panic.

"Second brother, you've arrived in the capital?"

Zhou Yuxuan suppressed his panic and asked.

Ye Mohan had just gotten into the car that came to pick him up when he received a message from Zhou Yuxuan.

Five hours have passed since he left Lancheng. He originally planned to take a flight, but couldn't wait and started his private jet instead.

The nearly ten-hour flight was completed in just over five hours thanks to his urging.

With his younger sister missing, he, as her own brother, couldn't help but worry. In front of Jian Yixue, he forced himself to remain calm, not wanting her to share his anxiety and worry.

"Yes, I just arrived. You went to Lancheng?" Ye Mohan asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan felt extremely flustered.

"Well, I came over as soon as I finished what my sister-in-law asked me to do. I originally wanted to give you and my sister-in-law a surprise, but I never expected these things to happen."

He now regrets not making a phone call before coming, thus missing out on meeting his second brother.

Now that his sister-in-law is here alone, should he go back or stay?

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan knew that Zhou Yuxuan already knew why he had returned to the country, so he didn't say anything more and gave some instructions.

"While I'm gone, protect your sister-in-law for me."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan was taken aback at first, then realized what he meant. "Leave it to me, Second Brother. Focus on handling your affairs. I promise to protect your sister-in-law every step of the way."

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan felt much more at ease and replied, "Mm."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yuxuan visibly breathed a sigh of relief; at least he no longer had to be so fearful.

Thinking of Ye Mohan's words, she suddenly felt the burden on her shoulders become even heavier.

He had to protect his sister-in-law well, otherwise he would be letting down his second brother's trust.
