The relationship between Nan Xiangwan and Ye Chaoqun has improved a lot, but Nangong Chen is very worried. After all, Ye Chaoqun is his fiancée, and he doesn't want her to have too much of a falling out with the people in Xingfu Community.
“Brother Zhan, Miss Nan may have misunderstood something this time, and I think it’s necessary for me to explain it to her!” Nangong Chen said.
Zhan Siyu frowned, then silently shook his head, feeling that Nangong Chen must have some misunderstanding.
"Are you mistaken? Do you think we would target Chaoqun?" Zhan Siyu asked.
Nangong Chen certainly didn't mean that; it's just that Ye Chaoqun was indeed a bit too radical this time.
He understood from the beginning that Zhan Siyu did not want to involve the Ye family. This was their basic courtesy. They couldn't just drag the Ye family down with them because of a little trouble.
At that time, not only Grandpa Ye, but even Ye Chaoqun might have felt disgusted with them.
"I know Miss Nan definitely wouldn't target Chaoqun, but I can't help but worry about that, Brother Zhan!"
"This time, we have a mole within our ranks, and this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Chaoqun!"
“If someone really tampered with our food, that person must be one of us. We shouldn’t involve the Ye family in our internal affairs!” Nangong Chen said.
Zhan Siyu nodded. Since Nangong Chen understood this, there was no need for him and Nan Xiangwan to continue explaining.
"That's right, there's a mole within our Happiness Community, and there must be someone working on it from the inside, so there's more than one mole!"
"Now that A-Dong has told us this information, the most important thing next is to find out the identity of the mole!"
Investigating the mole is a complicated and difficult task, and if not handled carefully, it could implicate others.
"So Miss Nan wants Chaoqun to help her?" Nangong Chen asked.
It's not surprising that Nan Xiangwan had this idea, because in Nangong Chen's mind, Ye Chaoqun could indeed help them.
Zhan Siyu said, "Then what do you think? Shouldn't you be thinking about Chaoqun at a time like this?"
Since Nan Xiangwan's conclusion had not yet been reached, Zhan Siyu simply passed the problem back to Nangong Chen, letting him struggle with it on his own.
"Brother Zhan, are you kidding me? How am I supposed to know what your final decision will be?" Nangong Chen said helplessly.
In Xingfu Community, Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan are always the final decision-makers for any important matter; there is virtually no doubt about it.
So when Zhan Siyu actually asked Nangong Chen this question, he felt a little helpless, but he couldn't give any answer at all.
"Wait for Wanwan's conclusion. He's discussing this with Chaoqun right now!"
Just as she was saying this, Nan Xiangwan returned with Ye Chaoqun.
"How did it go? How did your conversation go?" Nangong Chen asked with concern.
He must be very worried that Nan Xiangwan would not agree to Ye Chaoqun joining the plan. As her fiancé, Nangong Chen must be very sensitive and concerned about this matter.
Ye Chaoqun said with a smile, "I told you long ago that Sister Nan would never treat me like this. You really do have your reasons!"
"Nangong, can you tell me things from now on? You've been hiding everything from me. I thought you were going to abandon me!"
Seeing Ye Chaoqun's aggrieved and helpless expression, Nangong Chen had no choice but to give up.
However, he also laughed at this moment. Since Ye Chaoqun had time to joke, it proved that Nan Xiangwan had agreed to his conditions.
"No, Chaoqun, how could I not want you?" Nangong Chen hugged her.
"This is no time for jokes," Nan Xiangwan said quickly. "Chaoqun, we need your help. Bring us the complete list of people who have been coming in and out of the Ye family these past two days!"
“I know your housekeeper must have a record of this, so I’m troubling you!” Nan Xiangwan said.
Ye Chaoqun immediately nodded, no longer daring to joke about such a thing; Nan Xiangwan might get angry if he did.
"Sister Nan, just wait for my news. I should be able to give you the list in about thirty minutes!" Ye Chaoqun said.
Since Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu needed the list so urgently, Ye Chaoqun didn't want to waste any time and quickly went to find the housekeeper.
After watching him leave, Nan Xiangwan actually breathed a sigh of relief.
“That’s good. If Chaoqun can help us get the guest list, we can probably sift out some useful information from it!” Nan Xiangwan said.
Nangong Chen also felt quite helpless; he could probably understand Nan Xiangwan's actions.
"Miss Nan, you actually specifically asked Chaoqun to handle this matter, didn't you?" Nangong Chen seemed to have seen through something.
Nan Xiangwan said with a smile, "What else can we do? We've declined their kindness time and time again. If we keep doing this, Chaoqun will definitely be unhappy!"
"I just arranged a job for him. As long as Chaoqun is happy, that's all that matters!"
Nangong Chen was very grateful for Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu's decision. He didn't want to upset Ye Chaoqun, but for the sake of the people in Xingfu Community, he had no choice but to make this decision.
"Don't think about it too much. We can express our gratitude later. Go check with Hao Chen first to see if he has packed all the food!" Zhan Siyu said.
Nangong Chen nodded quickly. Forty minutes had passed, and Nan Haochen's side was probably ready by now.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the kitchen, Nan Haochen was already doing the final packing steps.
"Sis, why did you suddenly come over? We still have some loose ends to clean up here!" Nan Haochen said.
Ouyang Qian only kept the takeout box next to her; the bags inside had indeed packed everything.
"Even if we pack everything up, it's useless. If we don't have testing authority, it'll probably be dark by the time we get these things to the Academy of Sciences."
“But we need to test for chemical residues in the food by tonight!” Ouyang Qian said.
They still had to prepare a seafood feast for the Ye family's banquet that evening, so they couldn't waste any time and had to solve the food problem as soon as possible.
“I know, I’ll figure something out, but we have to be prepared for anything, we can’t rush things!” Zhan Siyu said.
Nan Xiangwan also agreed with Zhan Siyu's idea that whether it would work out in the end depended on human effort and fate.
However, if they missed the optimal time for food testing because they didn't prepare in advance, then that's their own problem.
"The best opportunity for plant testing is forty minutes from now, but I'm afraid we won't have that opportunity!" Nan Xiangwan said helplessly.
