Upon entering, she saw them having breakfast. Dongfang Tinglan was taken aback when she saw Jian Yixue and Mo Han, then said, "Xue'er, Mo Han, you're here. Would you like to sit down and have something to eat with us?"

"We've already eaten, Mom. You guys eat first."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan did not call out to them.

Upon hearing this, the old lady said, "Since we've made it this far, why don't you eat a little more? These things are all quite light, you can eat them."

Seeing this, the old man chimed in, "Yes, Xue'er, your grandmother is right. Let's eat something casually together."

Seeing this, Jian Yixue could not refuse Ye Mohan's hospitality and helplessly glanced at him before they both sat down.

Perhaps because the food was really good, Jian Yixue ate quite a bit.

In the end, I was really stuffed.

Seeing this, the old lady looked at Dongfang Tinglan and said, "Lan'er, you and your husband should accompany Xue'er to the back to have a chat and digest your food. There's no one in the back garden."

The old lady knew when that group of people broke in last night. Although they didn't come into the house, they were old and slept lightly, so their hearing was naturally much more sensitive. They heard almost everything that was happening outside, but they knew very well that even if they got up and went out, they wouldn't be able to help, so they didn't bother with it.

They didn't get up and take a look until it was quiet outside.

At the same time, they also knew that Jian Yixue had come over early in the morning after breakfast, so she must have something to say to them. Since they couldn't help her, they didn't join in the fun.

Hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan looked at the dishes she was tidying up and said, "Let me finish tidying up here before I go."

"No need, Aunt Hui will come and clean up," the old lady refused.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Hui quickly said, "Miss, let me do it. You go and attend to your business."

After saying that, he took the bowl and chopsticks from Dongfang Tinglan.

Seeing this, Dongfang Tinglan stopped insisting and looked at Jian Yixue, saying, "Then let's go."

Jian Yixue naturally understood what her grandmother meant, but she was not prepared to explain.

These things are best left to the young people to handle.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue nodded.

...

In the back garden.

As Jian Yixue and her group of four arrived at the stone bench in the garden and were about to sit down, Ye Mohan's deep and pleasant voice suddenly rang out.

"etc."

Everyone turned to look at him upon hearing the sound.

He took off his expensive, custom-made coat and placed it on the chair before looking at Jane Yixue and saying, "You can sit down."

Jian Yixue smiled knowingly upon seeing this; the feeling of being cared for made her feel exceptionally cheerful.

Seeing the two's actions, Dongfang Tinglan became even more satisfied with Ye Mohan.

It's said that mothers-in-law like their sons-in-law more and more the longer they look at them.

That's absolutely right.

After everyone was seated, Jian Yixue looked at Dongfang Tinglan and said, "The investigation into the people from last night has been completed. It was a conspiracy by three groups. One of them was people who had a grudge against me before, and the other two groups were from the Shennong Pavilion."

As for why I say this, it's because not all the people mentioned by that group are Jiang Lie.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan frowned and said, "So you're saying they came for me?"

Jian Yixue nodded and said, "That's most likely the case. But to be precise, they're probably after the 'Shennong Token'."

Dongfang Tinglan's expression was quite unpleasant. Suddenly, she realized something and said, "Both forces originate from Shennong Pavilion?"

"Yes, Youju found out from their interrogation. One of the people in that group mentioned Jiang Lie, and the other one was the outer protector."

Does the Shennong Pavilion have such a person or position?

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan shook her head and said, "No, at least it never happened twenty years ago."

The trail went cold right there.

Jian Yixue frowned deeply, seemingly lost in thought.

Dongfang Tinglan sighed, “Indeed, no matter how ancient or secluded an organization is, when it comes to power and status, they are all greedy and have their own schemes.”

Jian Yixue did not deny it, saying, "In this world, power and status have always been things that people strive for. Only a few people can truly remain indifferent to them."

This kind of thing will exist wherever there are people; it has never changed.

Humans are inherently greedy, and their desires change depending on their circumstances.

It can be said that when a person's life is threatened, then living becomes their greatest desire.

When a person is healthy and safe, he will pursue something higher, such as power, status, or other things.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, I oversimplified things and underestimated human nature."

"So what do we do next? Should we confront him directly, or what?"

After a moment's thought, Jian Yixue said, "No need. He'll probably be in trouble soon. We just need to wait for an opportunity."

...

And that is indeed the case.

Lanzhou, Azure Coast Grand Hotel.

In the presidential suite, after a night of passion, Jiang Lie, who had just woken up at noon, got out of bed and was about to wash up when he heard a noise coming from the door.

Even Ouyang Yunruo, who was in bed, was woken up by the noise.

She looked at Jiang Lie, still a little sleepy, and asked, "What happened?"

Jiang Lie frowned, looked up at Ouyang Yunruo's exposed collarbone upon hearing the sound, and couldn't help but swallow hard, his Adam's apple bobbing.

"I don't know, I'll go take a look," Jiang Lie's low, hoarse voice rang out.

Ouyang Yunruo nodded, then watched Jiang Lie leave before lying down to sleep again.

She was already injured, and last night she was tormented and didn't get to sleep until almost dawn. Due to lack of sleep, she was extremely sleepy.

Thinking of Jiang Lie's many subordinates outside, he stopped worrying about these things.

Meanwhile, Jiang Lie casually grabbed a bathrobe, put it on, and walked to the door, opening it behind him.

"What's all this noise about so early in the morning!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Lie saw a group of people in police uniforms in front of him.

Suddenly, they understood, more or less.

The bodyguard standing nearby spoke up at the opportune moment, "Master, these police officers insist that they need your cooperation on something, and I couldn't stop them."

The police captain leading the group glanced down at what he was holding, then looked at Jiang Lie with a serious expression.

"Hello, we are from Lancheng Police Department. We suspect you are involved in a murder case and request your assistance in the investigation. Also, this is a search warrant, and I have the right to search your residence."

Before Jiang Lie could speak, he waved his hand, signaling his men to take the man away.

Only after Jiang Lie was brought under control did he react, and then he said, "You... I am not a citizen of your country, you have no right to do this, otherwise you are intentionally provoking a conflict between the two countries."

Do you even know who I am?! I need to speak with my lawyer. You have no right to take me away!
