Thinking of Lu Mo's words, Ye Qingqing's unease grew stronger, feeling like the calm before a storm.

These past few days, Ye Qingqing has been trying to avoid contact with Ye Zhiguo, and when she's at home, she stays in her room and doesn't come out.

but--

She didn't provoke Ye Zhiguo, but Ye Zhiguo was unwilling to let her go.

Ye Qingqing's rebellion during this period greatly displeased Ye Zhiguo.

Ye Zhiguo was naturally unwilling to accept that the chess pieces that had been obedient in his hands had now become restless.

He had to find a way to make the pieces obey him.

One day after school, Ye Qingqing discovered that there was a young man in her house.

He has a delicate and pretty face, wears gold-rimmed glasses, and has a shy smile, making him easy to win the favor of young girls.

Of course, this does not include Ye Qingqing.

"Qingqing, this is the tutor your father found for you. His name is Ouyang Jing. Your older brother Ouyang graduated from a prestigious university. If you don't understand anything, just ask him!"

Ye Zhiguo introduced with a smile.

When Ouyang Jing saw Ye Qingqing's stunning beauty, his eyes lit up. He had been somewhat reluctant at first, but now he was completely willing.

He'd be willing to give up something for such a beautiful girl!

"Qingqing..."

Ye Qingqing interrupted Ouyang Jing, her expression displeased, "I'm not familiar with you, don't call me Qingqing."

She yelled at Ye Zhiguo again, "I already said I don't need a tutor. Lu Mo will tutor me. Tell him to leave now!"

"Lu Mo is out of town right now, so how can he tutor you? You have your final exams coming up soon. Let your brother Ouyang give you extra training, and your grades will definitely improve!"

Ye Zhiguo's tone left no room for refusal.

Ouyang Jing was a pawn he had carefully arranged; success or failure hinged on this move, and he couldn't afford to let this girl act recklessly!

"Lu Mo will be back soon. Anyway, I don't need any tutors, so he's not getting into my room!"

Ye Qingqing glared fiercely at Ouyang Jing, ran back to her room, and locked the door.

What is Ye Zhiguo up to?

First they brought in Wei Yugang, and now they've brought in Ouyang Jing, damn it!

But why hasn't Lu Mo come back yet?

I've been in Harbin for several days now!

...

Harbin

Lu Mo was sitting face to face with a middle-aged woman in a very quiet coffee shop.

The middle-aged woman had a very elegant demeanor, but her eyes were slightly red, as if she had just been crying.

“Ms. Xue, you know perfectly well that Jin Haibo did not die in an accident, so why are you unwilling to avenge him?” Lu Mo asked patiently.

The reason he stayed in Harbin for so many days was that Jin Haibo's wife, Ms. Xue, was unwilling to talk about the past. Lu Mo persuaded her every day, and Ms. Xue finally agreed to have a good talk with him.

It was precisely because of Ms. Xue's indecisiveness that Lu Mo made a special call to Ye Qingqing to warn her to be careful of Ye Zhiguo.

Eleven years later, Ms. Xue still feels lingering fear towards Ye Zhiguo, which shows how ruthless Ye Zhiguo's methods were!

Ms. Xue wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and sighed, "Ye Zhiguo isn't so easy to deal with!"

Even someone as capable as Jin Haibo was outmaneuvered by Ye Zhiguo, so Ms. Xue has absolutely no confidence in Lu Mo.

"But if this venomous snake isn't removed, you and your son will never dare to return to Pingjiang. Are you willing to accept that?"

Lu Mo's words caused Ms. Xue's expression to change drastically. After a long silence, she finally said slowly, "I hope you can really do it. Come with me!"

Ms. Xue got up and took Lu Mo back to her current home.

He took a yellowed envelope out of the box and handed it to Lu Mo. "I've kept this letter for 11 years. Now I'm giving it to you!"
