Ye Aotian's main reason for returning to China this time was indeed to keep an eye on Prince Gong's treasure in Beijing.

He spent a huge sum of money to buy the largest mansion in Beijing besides the Prince Gong's Mansion.

If it weren't for the fact that Prince Gong's Mansion belongs to the state and is not for sale, they would have taken it all.

Unfortunately, after buying the Prince Gong's mansion, no clues were found. Even the tunnel was only discovered by his sister and two brothers.

When their men followed them down into the tunnel, they discovered it was a muddy area.

It was only by searching through the Treasure Pavilion tunnel that the muddy ground was dug up again and the tunnel exit was opened.

After finally finding two other exits, neither was of any value. It was as if Ye Aotian's men had spent many days painstakingly searching in the tunnels, only to find themselves searching for nothing.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xingxian glanced at Xiao Xi. Xiao Xi and her two brothers were there, so Xiao Xi must know some secrets.

Xiaoxi smiled awkwardly and said that she would tell Fifth Brother in a while and promised to tell him everything she knew.

Ye Xingxian then asked Fan Rong to continue.

At this point, Fan Rong mentioned the origins of Ye Aotian's daughter.

Ye Xiaoya's biological father is named Yuan Zhen, who had a life-or-death brotherhood with Ye Aotian. They fought fiercely with local forces in Southeast Asia when they were vying for territory.

Ye Aotian and his men were ambushed. Yuan Zhen was blown to pieces by a bomb while trying to save Ye Aotian, and many of his men were also killed in the process. They managed to protect Ye Aotian and escape from Southeast Asia.

Yuan Zhen's death dealt a huge blow to Ye Aotian, and he found Yuan Zhen's biological daughter, Yuan Xiaoya, who was being fostered in his hometown.

Actually, Yuan Xiaoya was born to Yuan Zhen and a prostitute. The woman got pregnant and directly asked Yuan Zhen to take responsibility.

Yuan Zhen confirmed that the baby was indeed his daughter, but he had been busy working with Ye Aotian and had no energy to take care of her.

Yuan Zhen then sent his daughter to live with his distant great-aunt in his hometown, and gave her enough money to grow up.

Yuan Zhen planned to bring his daughter out when she was older, but this aunt was sure that Yuan Zhen was busy working outside and would not have time to visit his daughter.

The great-aunt used the money to build a house for her family, her son, and her grandchildren, making her family the richest in the village for a time.

The great-aunt took the money but treated Yuan Xiaoya very badly.

When Yuan Zhen died, Ye Aotian went to the countryside to pick up Yuan Xiaoya and found that Yuan Xiaoya was not doing well at all. Of course, Yuan Zhen's great-aunt and her family were punished.

Ye Aotian took Yuan Xiaoya away and gave her all his warmth and love.

Therefore, Yuan Xiaoya regarded Ye Aotian as her biological father, and only with Ye Aotian did she receive true love.

Xiaoxi finally understood why the scheming woman always targeted her, fearing that she would steal her older brother away.

Brick it up! Who cares!

Xiaoxi's thoughts were pulled back.

Fan Rong, as expected of Ye Aotian's capable assistant, spoke quite vividly, even describing Ye Aotian's inner thoughts more vividly than Ye Aotian himself.

Of course, Fan Rong betrayed Ye Aotian unintentionally, and Ye Xingxian would definitely erase this memory of his afterward.

Fan Rong also added that their eldest son's return to Shanghai was to leave his daughter with the Ye family.

They need to focus on finding treasure and seizing territory in Southeast Asia. Having their daughter by their side is not good for her development; their daughter should be the granddaughter of the Ye family.

Fan Rong finally finished speaking, and the room fell silent.

Xiao Xi suddenly said, "Fifth Brother, if Yuan Zhen is brought back to life, then Ye Xiaoya will no longer be Big Brother's daughter."
