Jian Yixue ate very quickly. She was indeed hungry again and had expended a lot of energy. At this moment, her chest was sticking to her back.

Compared to Ye Mohan, the food was much more pleasing to the eye.

...

The Nie family.

Unlike the Ouyang family, the Nie family did not have such a high status, and their location was relatively remote.

By the time Ouyang Yunruo arrived, three or four hours had passed.

In the living room,

Grandpa Nie was unaware of what had happened to the Ouyang family and was sitting on the sofa with a kind smile on his face.

When Ouyang Yunruo entered, she saw this scene. As if she had found her pillar of support, the smile on Ouyang Yunruo's face vanished instantly, and her eyes became slightly moist.

“Grandpa,” Ouyang Yunruo called out, looking aggrieved.

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Nie felt a pang of heartache. His granddaughter would never be in such a state unless something serious had happened to her.

"Come on, tell Grandpa who bullied you, and Grandpa will get justice for you," Grandpa Nie comforted him.

Although he had never liked his daughter, as people get older, they become incredibly attached to family, especially their son whom he had with his wife…

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yunruo quickly withdrew from Old Master Nie's embrace and embellished the story of Jian Yixue's actions.

Of course, she concealed her inappropriate feelings for Ye Mohan, as well as the relationship between Jian Yixue and the president.

Now she has nowhere to turn for help. Although she has many friends, she also understands that those friends cannot persuade their elders to come out and help.

The Ouyang family of today is no longer the powerful and influential family it once was.

She couldn't have planned this without being careful; otherwise, if the old man knew the situation and didn't want to help, she really wouldn't know what to do.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Nie was immediately furious. "What! How dare she be so audacious as to kidnap someone in broad daylight! Call the police immediately! We cannot let these people get away with it!"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yunruo's expression turned panicked. "Grandpa, we can't call the police."

If the police are called, the matter of her father's arrest could be a big deal or a small deal. The police said they would definitely report it to the president, which would immediately expose Jian Yixue's identity. The president would definitely side with Jian Yixue, which would be very disadvantageous for her.

Moreover, she didn't want the old man to know.

"Why?" Old Master Nie asked, puzzled.

After finishing her sentence, Ouyang Yunruo quickly looked for an excuse, "If this matter is reported to the police station, they will definitely investigate it thoroughly. Father and Uncle sent people to..."

She didn't finish her sentence; she knew her grandfather would understand.

After hearing this, Old Master Nie's expression stiffened for a moment, then he recovered. "Ruo Ruo is right. This matter cannot be exposed, otherwise it will not be good for either the Ouyang family or the Nie family."

After pondering for a moment, Old Master Nie instructed his trusted aides to gather all available people. Then he stood up and said to Ouyang Yunruo, "Ruoruo, you go back first. Leave this matter to your grandfather. Your grandfather will definitely bring your parents back."

Old Master Nie was quite capable and was quite famous in his youth. However, since Nie Bin became the head of the family, he has retired behind the scenes and no longer manages affairs.

Ouyang Yunruo said, "Grandpa, I'll go with you."

She also wanted to see that man. She heard he had returned, and she wanted to expose Jian Yixue's promiscuity and two-timing to her face.

She doesn't believe that a man can tolerate his woman cheating on him.

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Nie frowned. "Ruo Ruo, I'm going to take care of important business. If I take you with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you if something happens. What if you get hurt?"

This trip is to rescue someone, and who knows what might happen? A firefight between the two sides is possible. If he takes her along, he's afraid he won't be able to take good care of her if a fight breaks out.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yunru pouted and tugged at Grandpa Nie's sleeve, pleading, "Grandpa, please take me with you~ I promise I won't cause any trouble."

“My parents and uncle have all been arrested. I’m so scared. I want to see them as soon as possible so I can feel at ease.”

At the end, Ouyang Yunruo even squeezed out a few tears.

Seeing this, Grandpa Nie swallowed back the words he was about to say. "Then it's settled. When you get there, you'll listen to Grandpa. Don't do anything reckless."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yunruo's face lit up with joy, and she quickly nodded.

...

In the living room, Jian Yixue, realizing she hadn't had a chance to check on Ye Ling'er all day, asked, "Is your sister alright?"

"Fortunately, I was rescued in time and was not injured," Ye Mohan replied truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue nodded, "It's good that you're alright."

She had never met Ye Ling'er before, so there was no romantic relationship between them. Knowing that everything was alright, she didn't say anything more.

"Huh, where's Zhou Yuxuan?" Jian Yixue looked around, as if she hadn't seen Zhou Yuxuan since morning.

"I went to the academy," Ye Mohan replied.

"They run really fast." Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue recalled their previous conversation and couldn't help but make a comment.

Little did she know that Zhou Yuxuan ran so fast to avoid being subjected to her public displays of affection.

Even if she knew, she would just smile. She was happy to be able to witness their public displays of affection; she wouldn't do that to anyone else.

Lin Yi appeared at the opportune moment, "President, Madam, someone from the Nie family has been found and brought back."

Actually, they had been there for quite a while, but seeing that the president was having dinner with his wife, they didn't come in to disturb them.

Jian Yixue: "Who from the Nie family has come?"

"Grandpa Nie," Lin Yi answered truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue nodded thoughtfully.

She had heard of this person before. The old man of the Nie family used to be involved in the underworld, but somehow he retired from it in middle age and went into politics.

But this is only the official version of events. Whether he has actually retired from his criminal life is unknown, and Jian Yixue doesn't know either, since she had never paid any attention to this person before.

Ye Mohan, who was standing to the side, parted his thin lips slightly and said, "This old man is no good."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue raised an eyebrow and asked with great interest, "What do you mean?"

It seems that Ye Mohan understands him better than he does.

"He has connections in both the legal and illegal worlds. Although he has retired from his government position, he is now in charge of the largest underworld organization in Lancheng, the 'Dark Wolf.' Although he is not in the public eye, he is the actual controller of this organization."

Ye Mohan told Jian Yixue the information he had obtained by chance.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue nodded. "So, I'm afraid I've stirred up a hornet's nest? I might get stung if I'm not careful?"

Ye Mohan smiled and nodded, seemingly not worried at all, "That makes sense."

Jian Yixue, "..."

Are you kidding me? Would she let someone sting her?
