Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Dongfang Tinglan looked at Jian Yixue, wanting to ask about the situation of Old Master Dongfang and Old Madam, but seeing Jian Yixue's appearance, she really didn't know how to speak.

Several times, the words that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back down.

Seeing Dongfang Tinglan's actions, Jian Yixue couldn't help but smile, and then spoke.

"Mom, Grandpa and Grandma are fine now. All they need to do is take good care of themselves."

She knew perfectly well what her mother was thinking.

Seeing her like this, her mother must have felt heartbroken, and inside were her mother's parents, so she would naturally be worried.

Hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan finally felt completely relieved.

"That's good, thank you, Xue'er."

Jian Yixue smiled and said, "Mom, I'm your daughter. It's too formal for you to say thank you. I'll be unhappy."

Besides, the people inside weren't just my mother's parents, but also my maternal grandparents. Saving her was simply what I should do.

Dongfang Tinglan was taken aback, then realized what she meant and smiled, saying, "Xue'er is right, but I was being a bit narrow-minded."

...

On the other side.

Returning home filled with rage, Dongfang Yelei, the instant he closed the study door, grabbed an expensive vase from the shelf and smashed it directly at Chen Qiu.

"Useless! You can't even handle something this simple! What good are you bunch of good-for-nothings I've been keeping around!"

"You can't even find out who the other party is? Do you know you almost ruined my plans?!"

Shenqiu said expressionlessly, "It was my fault, please punish me, Master!"

In his view, any problem that arises is always his fault.

Even if he doesn't admit it, he will ultimately not escape punishment.

Dongfang Yelei glared at Shenqiu and said, "The punishment is waived. From now on, keep a close eye on the old man's side and the movements of that group of people."

Shenqiu replied, "Yes, Master."

Dongfang Yelei narrowed his eyes and said, "If anything unexpected happens again, don't blame me for not warning you. You should know my methods better than anyone else after all these years."

Shenqiu replied, "Understood, Master."

Dongfang Yelei glanced at Shenqiu, and finding nothing amiss, said, "Go down."

Shenqiu accepted the order and left.

Dongfang Yelei stared at Shenqiu's retreating figure, his eyes filled with malice and displeasure.

If it weren't for this critical period, and the fact that he doesn't have many people he can directly trust, he would never have let him off so easily.

Seeing that the study door was closed, Dongfang Yelei took out his phone and made a call.

After the call connected, Dongfang Yelei said, "Brother Zheng, I've run into a little trouble. My younger sister, Dongfang Tinglan, has suddenly returned. The matter with the old man might not be resolved so quickly, and they've already become suspicious of me. I might have to hold back for a while."

Are you sure nothing went wrong with Dongfang Yi's side? We need to be extra careful now, lest we suffer an unexpected setback.

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end immediately said, "Don't worry, I handled this personally. I guarantee the scene will be cleaned up thoroughly, and no one will find out that we conspired together."

But your younger sister has been missing for over twenty years. Why would she suddenly return at this point in time? What is her purpose? Do you know? She is quite an unknown variable.

Brother Dongfang, don't you think we should tell that person? Otherwise, if something goes wrong, we won't know how to explain ourselves.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yelei refused, saying, "No need, I can handle this matter. As long as there are no problems with Dongfang Yi, I can take care of the Dongfang family's affairs."

"Don't tell that person. If he thinks we're useless and can't even handle such a small matter, we'll have lost more than we gained."

The person on the other end was silent for a moment before speaking, "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Unbeknownst to the two, their entire conversation had been overheard by Jian Yixue and her three companions.

...

In the guest room of the old man's courtyard.

Jian Yixue sat on the sofa, with Dongfang Tinglan on her left and Ye Mohan on her right, while Gong Beize sat next to Dongfang Tinglan.

On the coffee table in front of Jian Yixue was a notebook. The entire recording of the phone call between Dongfang Yelei and the so-called "Brother Zheng" had been heard by the group.

At this moment, everyone knew that whether it was the poisoning of the two old men or the disappearance of Dongfang Yi, it was probably related to these two.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan was immediately enraged and exclaimed, "He's never satisfied! Haven't Mom and Dad been good enough to him? He actually wants to kill them! He's a complete ingrate! He's colluding with outsiders! Doesn't he know these people are his closest relatives?!"

Suddenly remembering something, she said, "I'll go find the elders of the clan right away. Today, I'm going to make sure he gets out of the Dongfang family!"

After saying that, he prepared to get up, but was suddenly pulled back by Jian Yixue and Gong Beize.

Dongfang Tinglan looked left and right, and asked anxiously, "Why are you pulling me like this?"

The thought of what Dongfang Yelei had done to her parents made her want to chop him up to vent her hatred!

If they had arrived in Lancheng a day later, she would probably have been separated from her parents forever and would never have had the chance to fulfill her filial duties. How could she not be angry!

Jian Yixue could understand Dongfang Tinglan's feelings very well. When she first learned that Jian Mingpeng had killed her mother, she had a moment when she wanted Jian Mingpeng to pay for it with his own flesh and blood.

Jian Yixue said calmly, "There's no rush. We'll find ways to deal with him later. Besides, I think we should wait until Grandpa and Grandma wake up and hear their opinions before making a decision. After all, he's also Grandpa and Grandma's child."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan fell silent.

She almost forgot that he was also her parents' child.

Dongfang Tinglan clenched her fists tightly.

Seeing this, Gong Beize reached out and took Dongfang Tinglan's hand, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Seeing this, Jian Yixue continued, "The most urgent task now is to find out who is behind this. Also, we need to rescue Dongfang Yi, otherwise the longer it goes on, the more dangerous it will be for him."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan snapped out of her daze and nodded.

Jian Yixue suddenly looked at Ye Mohan and said, "Mohan, I need your help with this."

Ye Mohan smiled slightly and said, "Just give the orders, my wife."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue felt a little embarrassed and glared at Ye Mohan.

That seemed to mean: Stop talking nonsense, your parents are watching.

Ye Mohan noticed Jian Yixue's hint but pretended not to hear it.

He doesn't care if his parents-in-law know; he just loves his wife very much and wants the whole world to know.

Seeing this scene, Dongfang Tinglan felt gratified.

In her view, her daughter's happiness is more important than anything else.

Gong Beize raised an eyebrow. This man had just been criticizing him, and now he wasn't much better off himself.
