...

In the courtyard of the Dongfang family, facing west.

Shen Qiu reported the situation at the entrance to Dongfang Yelei.

As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Yelei picked up the pen holder and threw it directly at Shenqiu. Shenqiu watched as the pen holder hit him squarely on the head, but he didn't dodge it at all.

"Useless trash! What good are you guys to me! You don't even know who's coming!"

"If they had come here today to take my head, wouldn't you all know I'd already been killed? A bunch of useless trash!"

Shen Qiu remained silent, obediently listening to Dongfang Yelei's disparaging remarks about their group.

Dongfang Yelei looked at Shen Qiu, who was lying on the ground without saying a word, and finally, not wanting to look at him anymore, got up and walked outside.

Upon seeing this, Shenqiu quickly got up and followed.

When they reached the door, Dongfang Yelei stopped and asked, "Are you sure the person went to the old man's room?"

Shen Qiu: "Yes, Master, it was witnessed by the people we had placed monitoring near the old man's room."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yelei frowned and said, "You'd better be sure your information is correct, otherwise you know what I'm capable of."

Shenqiu remained silent this time, but bowed slightly in greeting.

Before long, Dongfang Yelei and his men appeared at the door of Old Master Dongfang's house.

The once empty doorway was now filled with bodyguards in black. Upon seeing this, Dongfang Yelei was certain that what Shen Qiu had said was true.

Dongfang Yelei stared coldly at the doorway and said in a chilling voice, "Go knock on the door."

"Yes, Master." Shenqiu accepted the order and left.

As soon as they approached the door, they were stopped by the bodyguard, who said expressionlessly, "Sorry, my master is on official business, and no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter."

Just as Shen Qiu was about to retort, Dongfang Yelei, who was behind him, chuckled.

"What a joke! This is the Dongfang family. Who does your master think he is?"

"Get out of my way! Or don't blame me for being impolite!"

The bodyguards remained unmoved upon hearing the sound.

The commotion at the door had clearly alerted the people inside.

Inside the room, Jian Yixue was resting at the tea table after administering acupuncture, waiting for the time to be taken off. Upon hearing the noise at the door, her brows furrowed instantly.

She had met Dongfang Yelei before, so naturally she remembered his voice.

Dongfang Tinglan was indeed a little puzzled as to who this person was.

After all, they hadn't seen each other for so many years, and her relationship with Dongfang Yelei hadn't been very good before, so naturally she had no recollection of it.

Suddenly, Jian Yixue turned to look at Old Master Cheng by the bedside and asked, "Old Master Cheng, what else happened to the Dongfang family?"

"I remember Dongfang Yelei was sent abroad by Dongfang Yi, wasn't he? When did he come back?"

Upon hearing the voice, Dongfang Tinglan immediately realized that the person at the door was her second brother.

Even after all these years, it still sounds so repulsive.

Similarly, she looked at Old Cheng with a puzzled expression.

Upon hearing this, Old Cheng turned to look at Jian Yixue, pondered for a moment, and said, "I don't know if this matter is true or false."

Tell me about it.

Jian Yixue spoke calmly.

Elder Cheng, “A few days ago, the young master went to the United States for work, and more than half a month has passed since then.”

Later, while I was busy in the pharmacy, I suddenly overheard the servants talking about whether something had happened to the young master.

But I didn't pay attention. I thought, with the young master's abilities, how could anything happen to him? It must be someone with ill intentions trying to create anxiety.

He doesn't go out often. Except for specific times when he comes to check on the old man and the old lady, he usually spends his time in the pharmacy.

Especially since he obtained so many precious prescriptions and medical books from Jian Yixue, he wished he could squeeze out even his sleeping time to study.

After listening, Jian Yixue fell into deep thought.

Suddenly remembering something, he asked, "When did Dongfang Yelei return?"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Cheng thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure of the specifics, but it seems to have happened during the period when the young master was away on business."

Immediately, Jian Yixue roughly understood.

Dongfang Yi has disappeared or is missing, while his maternal grandparents have been poisoned and nearly died.

If Dongfang Yi and his maternal grandparents were to both be in trouble, the biggest beneficiary would be... self-evident.

Jian Yixue's eyes darkened slightly. Although Dongfang Tinglan, who was standing beside her, did not have Jian Yixue's abilities, she understood after a little time after hearing her daughter's words.

What a wonderful second brother he is!

Everyone inside the room heard the noise at the door, let alone the two people outside.

Upon hearing this, Gong Beize and Ye Mohan exchanged a glance, then put down their teacups and got up together to walk towards the door.

Dongfang Yelei was furious when he saw the bodyguards who remained unmoved. Just as he was about to make a move, the door to the house was suddenly pushed open from the inside.

Then, Dongfang Yelei saw two stunningly handsome men, each with their own unique charm, appear at the door.

One of them was someone he had met before.

Dongfang Yelei immediately exclaimed, "It's you!"

Upon hearing this, Gong Beize immediately turned his gaze to Ye Mohan.

He was quite certain that he had never seen the man in front of him before.

The other party's words clearly indicated that he knew one of them, which could only be Ye Mohan.

Ye Mohan stared coldly at Dongfang Yelei in front of him and said, "It's me. Surprised?"

Dongfang Yelei was furious when he saw Ye Mohan's arrogant attitude.

"Who do you think you are! This is the Dongfang family, not a place where some Tom, Dick, or Harry can just come in. Get out of here right now, or you'll regret it!"

Dongfang Yelei's men immediately assumed a stance, ready to tear Ye Mohan apart at any moment.

Upon seeing this, Gong Beize raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to Ye Mohan, saying, "It seems he doesn't know your identity?"

Ye Mohan remained silent, which was clearly an admission of agreement.

"So, what is the other party's identity? You can at least tell us."

This was Gong Beize's first time visiting the Dongfang family in a rush. He hadn't expected that his wife's family would be a reclusive clan, whose background was in no way inferior to his own.

Because they are a reclusive family, there isn't much information about them outside, so he doesn't know much about the internal structure of the Dongfang family.

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan kindly explained, "Dongfang Yelei is the second master of the Dongfang family. You should call him 'Second Brother'."

Gong Beize, "..."

Second brother?

Judging from their appearance, they seem to have ill intentions. Are we sure they can get along well?

He felt like Ye Mohan was setting him up.

Seeing that the two of them were completely ignoring him, Dongfang Yelei, who was standing to the side, became even more impatient and said.

"What are you all standing there for! Take them all down!"

"Yes, Master." Immediately, a group of people swarmed over.

Seeing this, Ye Mohan and Gong Beize showed no signs of nervousness, but a closer look revealed a serious expression in their eyes.

Just as the two sides were preparing to fight, a clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out.

"Wait!"

"Second Brother is so impressive!" Suddenly, a graceful figure appeared before everyone's eyes.
