Wei Ning said sarcastically, "The old man has never liked you much, so why would he let you into his study?"

Her gaze fell on the documents in Mingyao's hand, a shrewd glint in her eyes.

"Thief!"

Just as Wei Ning was about to snatch it, Ming Yao quickly hid the document behind her back.

She looked coldly at Wei Ning, whose expression was gradually contorting, and laughed mockingly.

"Sister-in-law, aren't you very concerned about the old man's health?"

Why weren't you with him at the hospital?

"Why did you follow me back?"

Wei Ning glared at Ming Yao: "Hand over the documents you're holding right now!"

"This is the Pei family home, not a place for you to run wild!"

Mingyao looked at Wei Ning coldly: "The First Madam said I was acting recklessly."

Do you have any evidence?

"This document was given to me by the old man."

Wei Ning was too lazy to waste words with Ming Yao, so she simply had the nanny surround her.

Mingyao and Pei Zhao had no chance to resist; the documents in their hands were snatched away.

Wei Ning eagerly opened the file.

She took out a few sheets of white paper from inside, her pupils contracting.

Wei Ning angrily tore the white paper to shreds: "You dare to play me!"

Mingyao blinked and looked at Wei Ning with an innocent expression: "Madam, what do you mean by that?"

"The old man asked me to get the documents for him, but I didn't even look at the contents."

Why do you think I'm playing you?

Her gaze toward Wei Ning was full of mockery.

"Is the First Madam so angry because she didn't see what she wanted to see?"

"What would the First Madam like to see?"

Mingyao took the initiative: "Would you like to see the will or the share transfer agreement of Haichang Technology Company?"

Wei Ning's face darkened visibly.

She threw the torn pieces of white paper at Mingyao: "Stop trying to pull any tricks on me!"

"Pei Siyu is unconscious, and it's still unknown whether the old man will survive in the hospital!"

"Mingyao, how long do you think you can keep jumping?!"

Mingyao gave a nonchalant "oh" and shrugged helplessly.

"The First Madam has given up on pretending altogether."

She pursed her lips, her tone weak: "Let the First Madam do whatever she wants."

"but,"

She approached Wei Ning and said, enunciating each word clearly, "If you dare to touch Pei Siyu, I will make you wish you were dead!"

Mingyao deliberately emphasized the last few words.

Wei Ning felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Miss Ming is really good at telling jokes."

Wei Ning exuded a very oppressive aura: "One should have self-awareness."

"Otherwise, it would just be like a clown."

Mingyao bumped into Wei Ning's shoulder and strode away with Pei Zhao.

Wei Ning stared intently at Ming Yao's retreating figure, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

Things are definitely not that simple!

Mingyao is very cunning, and the old man has always been wary of her.

In front of everyone, he asked Mingyao why she was only asked to come back to retrieve the documents!

"Check the surveillance footage immediately!"

"besides,"

Wei Ning said in a deep voice, "Hold Mingyao and Pei Zhao back."

After a minor altercation with Wei Ning, Mingyao went to the living room, sat down, and asked the maid to bring her some food.

The servants exchanged bewildered glances, never expecting Mingyao to treat this place like her own home.

Mingyao saw that they were still in a daze.

"Hurry up and go! What are you standing here for?!"

The servants hurriedly got to work.

Pei Zhao looked at Ming Yao with a puzzled expression.

"Sister Ming, why aren't we leaving yet?"

"You're not..."

Inside the room, there was not only a file folder but also a USB drive.

The obviously important files are on the USB drive.

Once Wei Ning realizes what's happening, won't all their efforts be in vain?

Unlike Pei Zhao's panic, Ming Yao was all smiles.

"We can't leave now?"

Why don't you rest here for a while?

Pei Zhao thought he had misheard, his eyes widening as big as walnuts.

"Sister Ming, are you sure you're not mistaken?!"

"Are you sure..."

Mingyao handed Pei Zhao a cup of black tea: "The tea tastes good, have a taste."

Pei Zhao was in a state of agitation, pacing back and forth, and had no time to drink tea.

On the contrary, Mingyao was content and had a smile on her face.

Five minutes later, Wei Ning walked into the living room.

She stared at Mingyao for a while, then poured her a cup of tea.

Mingyao put on an expression of being flattered.

"Oh dear, I'm so embarrassed."

"It is an honor to have the First Madam personally pour tea for me."

Mingyao's lips were as sweet as honey as she showered Wei Ning with praise.

Pei Zhao, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded, staring at Ming Yao in disbelief.

Mingyao stared intently at Wei Ning: "Madam Wei, how do you intend to search her?"

Wei Ning paused, his gaze towards Ming Yao filled with increasing confusion.

She checked the security camera footage in the bedroom and discovered that Mingyao had taken a USB drive.

What exactly is on the USB drive that makes Mingyao so calm?

Wei Ning crossed his arms and scanned him up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.

"You're so calm about it?"

Mingyao pursed her lips and smiled helplessly, "With the old master gone, Madam Wei is the one who calls the shots in the Pei family."

"Pei Zhao and I are now like catfish on a chopping board."

"With just one order from the madam, neither of us can leave."

"Instead of passively being investigated by Madam, wouldn't it be better to take the initiative?"

Wei Ning burst into laughter.

Mingyao looks to be no more than twenty years old.
