Ruan Chen was a little confused.

She didn't expect that Ye Tian also knew about Crescent Bay, and that he even knew it was a training place.

Ruan Chen had never associated Ye Tian with these things.

The Ye family are just ordinary businessmen. No matter how you trace their lineage back, they have never produced a genius in terms of spiritual power. How could Ye Tian know these things?

Ye Tian gently stroked Ruan Chen's hair and solemnly instructed, "Chenchen, you probably don't know about Crescent Bay yet, but you're so outstanding, you can't hide forever. Those people will come looking for you sooner or later."

Ruan Chen actually saw a trace of sadness in Ye Tian's eyes.

"You must remember to refuse them and not go to Crescent Bay!!" Ye Tian emphasized.

"You might have to pay a heavy price for refusing them, but you absolutely cannot go!"

Ruan Chen finally spoke, "Grandpa... how do you know about Crescent Bay? And why can't we go there?"

"You already know about Crescent Bay? They've contacted you? That shouldn't be the case, you're not even an adult yet." Ye Tian's expression became tense.

He has been fighting in the business world for years, and logically speaking, "nervousness" is the least likely emotion for someone like Sigua.

Ruan Chen said, half-concealingly, "A friend of mine said goodbye to me not long ago, and he was going to Crescent Bay."

Ye Tian then pressed on, "Has your friend contacted you again?"

Ruan Chen shook his head.

Indeed, both Ruan Qin and Su Ze disappeared without a trace after going to Crescent Bay, as if they had vanished into thin air.

Whenever Ruan Chen thinks of these two people, she can't help but recall what Cheng Lu said: Crescent Bay is a place that doesn't exist in this world at all.

But Cheng Lu couldn't tell Ruan Chen any more.

Ruan Chen never expected that she would get a clue from her grandfather today.

Seeing Ruan Chen shake her head, Ye Tian's face showed understanding and regret. "Your friend... may never contact you again."

He had barely finished speaking when he saw Ruan Chen accidentally knock over a cup on the table.

Ye Tian had never seen Ruan Chen so distraught. Her face turned pale, and her voice was slightly panicked as she asked, "Grandpa, what do you mean by that? What do you mean you'll never contact me again?"

“No one who went to Crescent Bay ever came back,” Ye Tian sighed. “At least, that’s what I know.”

Ye Tian's thoughts drifted into distant memories, and he slowly said, "Going back in our Ye family, I remember that it was probably in the generation of your great-grandfather's father that a genius also emerged."

Ruan Chen listened intently, resting her chin on her hand.

"That genius's life trajectory was just like all geniuses. He showed his talent from a young age and chose Shanhe University, majoring in automation, among the four major colleges. In his junior year, he was selected to participate in intensive training, which should have been a glorious thing for his family, but that child never came back."

"At that time, the Ye family was one of the top families. The child's father was naturally anxious because he couldn't contact his son for several years. He went to Shanhe University to demand his son back, but how could our worldly families stand against real power?"

"Later, the father found out about a place called Crescent Bay, and also learned that no one who went there ever came back. As for anything else, he didn't find out anything more."

"His father was devastated by this one son and passed away shortly after handing the company over to his daughter."

"This matter has been passed down as a secret of our Ye family. From that generation onwards, our Ye family will no longer deliberately seek out those with strong spiritual power to conceive offspring."

Finding someone with strong spiritual power to conceive offspring has always been an open secret among large families. This is why Ruan Yunhan, despite her terrible reputation, was still able to obtain so many resources from the Song family.

However, the Ye family did the opposite.

“Over the years, our Ye family has not produced another master,” Ye Tian said, his eyes filled with both relief and worry as he looked at Ruan Chen, “until you came to the Ye family.”

As Ruan Chen left the Ye Group building, she was still pondering Ye Tian's words, so much so that she didn't hear Ye Zitao calling her several times from behind.

Ruan Chen is someone who has personally "gone" to Crescent Bay. Fu Jianzhi from the movie "Les Misérables" said that Crescent Bay could give her everything she wanted and make her strong.

This statement is completely contrary to Ye Tian's warning.

Seeing that Ruan Chen was looking down, ignoring everyone, and seemed preoccupied, Ye Zitao quickly ran a few steps and hooked his arm around her shoulder.

"Uncle."

Ye Zitao couldn't help but rub Ruan Chen's pretty little face, laughing heartily, "Oh, is our little girl troubled? Do you have a crush on someone?"

The three Ye brothers all adored Ye Huanhuan, their eldest daughter whom they had taken in for a living.

She is beautiful, obedient, and sensible, and most importantly, she is incredibly intelligent, surpassing the next generation of the Ye family in intelligence by a significant margin.

"It's about studies."

Ye Zitao immediately wilted, "Then your uncle can't help you. Your uncle is a terrible student, otherwise your grandfather wouldn't have sent him out to study art."

Ruan Chen smiled, pursing her lips.

Ye Zitao pulled her to the car and said, "Your mother, that workaholic, is working overtime again. Your sister had the driver take her back to her school dormitory, so she asked me, a nobody, to come and take you home."

Ye Zitao opened the car door for her and sat in the driver's seat himself.

Along the way, he noticed that Ruan Chen was quiet and reserved, and assumed that she was feeling down because of the Ruan family's situation, so he tried to cheer her up.

"Our band is performing tomorrow night, do you want to come? I have some front-row VIP tickets."

Ruan Chen knew that her uncle had a band that was quite famous, but Ruan Chen preferred quiet, and her uncle played heavy metal rock, so Ruan Chen had never been to a live performance.

But with her uncle looking so excited, Ruan Chen couldn't think of a polite way to refuse.

While she was still thinking about her words, Ye Zitao had already made a deal with himself: "Okay, then it's settled. Tomorrow I'll have someone deliver the tickets to your school, the kind with the lead singer's autograph. You're in the top class, right? You're really something."

Ruan Chen: ...What did I say?

"Yes, thank you, Uncle."

Back home, Ruan Chen turned on all the lights and opened all the doors as usual. She sat cross-legged on the floor, placed her computer on the sofa, and began researching Su Jin's background.

She hadn't carefully analyzed many of the documents she'd obtained from Su Jin's phone before, but now that she was choosing to cooperate with the Su family, she naturally had to investigate them thoroughly.

As windows popped up one by one on the computer desktop, some of the encrypted files on Su Jin's phone were deciphered, and Ruan Chen's expression turned strange.

She saw familiar names in several contracts.

For example, Su Tan, Su Ying, Su Han, and... Su Ze.

What a coincidence!

Ruan Chen dialed Su Tan's number. There were sounds of children making noise on her end. Su Tan was enjoying her time on the deserted island.

Considering the time difference, she should be helping to maintain order at the school gate after school right now.

"Aunt, do you know someone named Su Jin?"

Without thinking, Su Tan blurted out, "That brat? Is he your cousin? How come you ran into him?"
