Of course, Jian Yixue wouldn't tell anyone this; if she did, she'd have to coax her.

Normally, she could be coaxed.

But now, all she can think about is her daughter.

"Alright, stop joking around. Any news from Shennong Pavilion?"

Jian Yixue always remembered the purpose of her visit, but she was afraid that if she showed it, her family would worry about Lemon, and then they would have to consider her feelings and bear two worries, so she kept suppressing her sadness.

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan's expression immediately turned serious as he said, "A few hours before we arrived in St. Namer County, a private plane marked 'Shennong Grass' did appear at the airport, but they did not return to Shennong Pavilion. Instead, they went to a villa in St. Namer County. I had someone investigate the owner of this villa and found that it was purchased by Yan Yuan, a senior executive of SN Group."

Furthermore, I discovered that SN Group is currently undergoing a leadership reshuffle. Former president Jiang Lie has been replaced, and the next president is Yan Yuan.

After listening, Jian Yixue frowned and said, "Yan Yuan? You mean it's very likely that he's the one who brought the lemon this time, right? When he appeared at the airport, did your people see if anyone was holding a child with him?"

The more Jian Yixue talked, the more excited she became.

The thought that her daughter might be very close to her made her eager to see her again.

Seeing Jian Yixue's emotional state, Ye Mohan regretted telling her about this so soon. He decided to wait until he found Lemon before telling her.

But now it's too late to think about anything.

Ye Mohan grabbed Jian Yixue's hand and said in a low voice, "No, my men did not see any children among his group. I also had someone investigate the surveillance footage in the capital, and there were indeed no children with him."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue's eyes filled with tears, her disappointment and sadness beyond words.

Seeing this, Ye Mohan felt both regret and annoyance.

After a long silence, Jian Yixue spoke, "Mo Han, do you think he did something to my lemon? Could it be... could it be..." Something happened to the lemon.

In the end, Jian Yixue didn't have the courage to say the last three words.

She couldn't accept that she had just become a mother not long ago, and then the next second she was separated from her daughter by death; she couldn't even imagine it.

But Ye Mohan was no ordinary man. The moment Jian Yixue opened her mouth, he realized what she was thinking and said firmly, "No, Lemon will be alright. They kidnapped Lemon to blackmail us, but they haven't achieved their goal yet, so they definitely won't kill her."

Jian Yixue also wanted to believe Ye Mohan's words, but now that Lemon had disappeared, she couldn't convince herself no matter what.

"Then why isn't Lemon with them?"

Hearing this, Ye Mohan pondered for a moment and said, "It's possible that they were worried that a group of people with a child would be too conspicuous, so they split into two groups. I've already had my people monitor him closely. I'll know if he contacts anyone. All we have to do now is wait."

After saying that, looking at Jian Yixue crying sadly in front of him, he felt nothing but heartache and wished he could take her place.

He then said, "Don't cry. Crying too much during your postpartum period will damage your eyes. Don't worry, I promise I'll bring Lemon to you safely. Trust me, okay?"

"Cola still needs your care. You can't neglect yourself. What if you collapse when Lemon comes back? Sweetie~ Xue'er."

Ye Mohan's voice was absolutely seductive, and his words couldn't help but make Jian Yixue take them seriously.

Now that Lemon is in trouble, she can't collapse; she still needs to take care of Cola while searching for Lemon.

After a short while, Jian Yixue wiped away her tears and said, "I know, I'm fine. I'll take good care of myself and Cola. You don't need to worry about me. Just focus on finding Lemon."

Upon hearing the news and seeing that Jian Yixue had cheered up, the tension in his heart finally eased.

Afterwards, Ye Mohan took Jian Yixue back to her room.

...

Yan Yuan quickly received a report from his subordinates that they had moved into Zijinyuan, and immediately summoned Lan Sha and others to discuss the matter.

Yan Yuan said, "They have now settled in Zijinyuan, and the former Pavilion Master Dongfang Tinglan is among their entourage. Tell me, how can we get them to obediently hand over the Shennong Token?"

Yan Yuan first looked at Lan Sha, but Lan Sha remained silent.

Bi always felt that this group of people had ill intentions.

Ye Mohan's background investigation made her feel that there was something wrong. Was the other party really just a wealthy conglomerate?

Or is it that the other party is hiding too well, so they can't find out?

Otherwise, how can we explain how they locked onto their target so quickly and tracked them to their territory? If they didn't have the strength, wouldn't they be just coming to their deaths?

But if they had the strength, then… Lansha didn’t dare to think about it.

Yan Yuan frowned when he saw that Lan Sha didn't speak, but he didn't say anything in public. Instead, he turned his attention to the person next to him.

One of them boldly suggested, "Outer Protectors, since they've really come here, let's go all the way and arrest them all, then interrogate them one by one."

The other person said, "I agree with him. This is not the capital. Saint Namer County is our territory. I don't think they can get out of our grasp!"

Hearing this, Lan Sha disagreed, saying, "Arrest him? Do you know who that man is? The richest man in the capital of Z country! Moreover, the former leader has his back to the reclusive Dongfang family of H country. Do you think we can just arrest him without any reason? Are you capable of bearing the consequences? What you're doing isn't helping outsiders, you're pushing him into a fire pit!"

As Yan Yuan's confidante, Lan Sha naturally knew about these circumstances.

And she really didn't want her master to take such a risk.

Upon hearing this, the person who had spoken earlier immediately looked somewhat uneasy, and then said, "Sister Sha, we didn't know anything about this either, otherwise why would we have suggested this to the outer protector? In that case, it's really not right to arrest people for no reason."

Upon hearing this, the outer protector felt very dissatisfied with Lansha.

Although what she said was true, hearing her praise how powerful her opponent was, and how he was powerless to stop her, made him very dissatisfied with Lansha because of his superior pride.

"Outer Protector, I have an idea!"

The sound immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Yan Yuan looked toward the source of the voice and saw a tall, thin young subordinate say, "Tell me."

Under everyone's gaze, the man stepped forward and said, "Outer Protector, I believe the reason they followed us is because they thought their child was in your hands."

"Since that's the case, why don't we take advantage of it?"
