Nangong Chen had no better solution at the moment, so he and Zhan Siyu split up and planned to find the old general and talk to him about this matter.
Although it's uncertain whether the old general will actually lend a hand, it's still a possible solution.
Even if there's only a one percent chance, they have to try their best, otherwise they'll just be sitting here waiting to die.
“If the old general doesn’t agree, then we’ll have no choice but to go to Old Master Ye!” Nangong Chen said.
Zhan Siyu nodded. Although this was not the outcome they wanted, they had no other choice.
Nan Xiangwan did not intend to go with them to look for people. He wanted to go back to the temporary kitchen to look for clues and see if he could find out what those people had done to the food.
“I feel like everything is normal…” Ouyang Qian said.
He and Nan Haochen had just packed all the food into one package, and were just waiting to take it to the relevant agency for testing.
Nan Xiangwan shook her head and said, "This is definitely not normal. A Dong's superpowers won't have any problems. Someone must have been here!"
"But if he were a normal person, would he need to climb over the wall to get in and out?"
"Since he's acting so suspiciously, there's definitely something wrong with him. We don't know whose side he's on, but we have to be careful and on guard!"
Nan Xiangwan rubbed her temples and then let out a heavy sigh. Ouyang Qian knew very well that Nan Xiangwan would only make such a small gesture when she was in a particularly bad mood.
As Nangong Chen said, even if it means standing up Old Master Ye this time, losing face in front of the Ye family, and losing credibility in front of the major families, we cannot take the risk of making these dishes.
Because losing face is a small matter; if someone gets hurt because of eating their food, they will never be able to compensate them.
But it would be such a pity if all their hard work and preparations were to go to waste.
Nan Xiangwan let out a breath, feeling somewhat depressed and even a little irritable.
Ouyang Qian said, "Sister, don't be nervous. I really believe what you said before: there's always a way out. We'll definitely find a solution!"
Hearing Ouyang Qian's words of comfort, Nan Xiangwan felt a little relieved and smiled silently.
On the other hand, Ye Chaoqun was very unhappy because he really wanted to help Nan Xiangwan. This matter happened in the Ye family's house, so they were definitely to blame. Unexpectedly, Ye Chaonan seemed unwilling to help him.
"Ye Chaonan, what do you mean by this? I genuinely wanted to help Sister Nan!"
"If you're not going to help, fine, but why take me away? This happened in our Ye family, so we should take responsibility. It's our fault for not supervising properly!"
Ye Chaoqun was right, but Ye Chaonan still didn't let go of his hand and pulled him back to Grandpa Ye's garden.
Grandpa Ye had changed his clothes. He was wearing a more casual outfit when he was playing chess with Zhan Siyu, since they were in the backyard. But now that the family banquet was about to begin, he changed into a formal suit.
"What are you two doing here again?" Grandpa Ye asked.
He had just heard Ye Chaoqun say that this happened because of the Ye family's poor supervision, and Old Master Ye immediately frowned.
After all, he is the head of the Ye family, and if anything happens here, he should be the first to know.
Ye Chaoqun said, "Grandpa, come and be the judge!"
"We had already agreed that Sister Nan would cook a seafood feast for us today, and all our relatives could try it too!"
"But the people over there just said that someone sneaked into the temporary kitchen and seems to have tampered with the food, so Sister Nan is in a real mess right now, and it seems like we can't cook today."
"It's a small matter if we lose face, Grandpa. If anything goes wrong with those foods, our entire Ye family will suffer!"
"Then do you think we shouldn't help Sister Nan? It's our responsibility!"
Ye Chaoqun spoke with righteous indignation, not only wanting to help Nan Xiangwan, but also wanting to find out the mastermind behind this matter.
Because this matter is so egregious, they not only want to frame Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu, but also want to take this opportunity to stigmatize the people of Xingfu Community.
Even the people behind it all wanted to kill two birds with one stone, ruining the Ye family's reputation at the same time!
Whether from a public or private perspective, Ye Chaoqun did not believe they should let the mastermind behind the scenes go.
These matters must be thoroughly investigated!
When Old Master Ye heard Ye Chaoqun explain the whole story, he frowned deeply. He really didn't expect that such a thing would happen in the Ye family's residence, so it's no wonder that Ye Chaoqun was so angry.
"Grandpa, let's not get involved in this for now, since we don't know the cause and effect or the whole story yet!" Ye Chaonan said.
Grandpa Ye looked up in shock; Ye Chaonan would actually say such a thing.
"You brat, why have you suddenly become so rational? Didn't you and Chaoqun both say before that Miss Nan is your savior, so you have to help her no matter what?"
Grandpa Ye actually laughed; he seemed to want to hear Ye Chaonan's explanation.
Ye Chaonan said, "It's best if we don't get involved in this, because... it's a bit complicated!"
Ye Chaoqun was really having a hard time now.
Not only did Ye Chaonan refuse to help, he even prevented him from helping, and even prevented Grandpa Ye from helping.
Therefore, these matters can only be resolved by Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan themselves.
"Ye Chaonan, you traitorous bastard!"
"Didn't you see how troubled Sister Nan was? They have no way to solve this problem right now, and the family banquet starts in three hours!"
"If we don't help now, we'll miss our chance. Do you know how serious this could get? Do you want to ruin the hard work that everyone in Happiness Community has put in?"
Ye Chaoqun felt a little wronged; she didn't even know why Ye Chaonan would have such thoughts.
Seeing Ye Chaoqun's angry expression, Ye Chaonan could only sigh and shake his head helplessly.
He didn't actually not want to help Nan Xiangwan; he had always considered Nan Xiangwan and the others as his own people. It was just that the matter was indeed a bit complicated.
"It's not what you think. Do you think Grandpa didn't consider that this might happen?"
"There are a lot of people guarding the temporary kitchen, and three of our Ye family's bodyguards are stationed outside the wall. No one can get close to that courtyard unless they are from inside the Happiness Community!"
Ye Chaonan revealed some news that shocked Ye Chaoqun!
