Ye Tianyu's eyes were immediately filled with boundless beauty.
"puff!"
Ye Tianyu was startled and involuntarily loosened his grip.
"thump!"
Mu Lan immediately fell to the ground, screaming in pain.
"Ugh! This is really difficult!"
Ye Tianyu knelt down, helped her close her pajamas, tied a knot, and then helped her up.
Mu Lan was not sobered up by the fall and continued to cling to Ye Tianyu, hugging his neck tightly.
Ye Tianyu wanted to continue forcibly taking him away, but after careful consideration, he realized it was inappropriate.
Mu Lan was so drunk she couldn't tell north from south, and she was wearing such revealing pajamas. What would she do if her employees or Ding Xue saw her downstairs?
They might suspect that he and Mulan have some kind of ambiguous relationship.
After thinking it over, he changed his mind, carried Mulan to the bed, put her down, covered her with a blanket, and sat on the sofa to watch over her.
Looking at Mu Lan, who was still muttering to herself, he felt speechless.
During the day, Mulan was happy because her business had expanded into the jade industry, and there was nothing unusual about it.
But he got so drunk that night that he even barged into my room.
He guessed that it was probably because he was with Fang Xueqing and had rejected her love several times that he was in a bad mood, so he drank to drown his sorrows and ended up like this.
He looked bitter. "How can you blame me?"
No way!
If something happens between us, how am I supposed to explain it to Fang Xueqing?
But what if Mulan continues to bother me?
Thinking of his worries, he couldn't help but sigh.
After a while, Mulan stopped moving, as if she had fallen asleep.
Ye Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his arms, and yawned.
Looks like I'll have to sleep on the sofa tonight.
He glanced at Mu Lan on the bed, a bitter smile flickered across his lips, and lay down on the sofa fully clothed.
I don't know if it's because I'm not used to sleeping on the sofa, but I woke up at five in the morning.
Ye Tianyu glanced at Mu Lan on the bed and saw that she was sleeping soundly.
It's good that she can sleep; at least I don't have to worry about her suddenly waking up and what might happen next.
However, he was no longer sleepy, so he simply sat up and started scrolling through his phone.
By seven o'clock, the sun had already risen.
Seeing that Mu Lan hadn't woken up yet, Ye Tianyu didn't disturb her. He went downstairs to the restaurant, inspected it, called Ding Xue to explain everything, and then drove down the mountain.
Because he needed to take the initiative to counterattack the Hong Group and the four major families, and because his business had expanded into the jade industry, he couldn't come to the scenic area as often as he used to. The business here was stable and had been handed over to Mu Lan, Ding Xue, and Qin Hao to manage. Normally, there shouldn't be any problems.
Upon arriving at the jade market and stepping into the appreciation hall, I noticed that besides Optimus Prime, there were two girls in their mid-twenties and a man in his thirties.
Upon seeing Ye Tianyu, Qingtianhu immediately greeted him respectfully.
"Master, we've found someone. They'll officially start work today!"
He then pointed to the three people and introduced them.
"Jiang Lin, Yun Ni, Ou Zichuan!"
"They have all been in the jade sales business for many years and are very experienced. I thought they were quite good, so I hired them!"
After saying that, he addressed the three of them.
"That's our boss, Mr. Ye!"
"Hello, Mr. Ye!"
The three men immediately bowed deeply, their faces full of flattery.
Jiang Lin, in particular, had a charming smile on her face and was giving Ye Tianyu flirtatious glances.
He is now the chairman and president of Tianyu Group, a status that is quite different from before. Naturally, some female employees who want to rise from humble beginnings to success fantasize about getting close to him and being favored by him.
Ye Tianyu came from the bottom and naturally understands the complex unspoken rules of the workplace, which is why many materialistic women who don't want to work hard are kept by upper management.
Of course, Ye Tianyu is not that kind of person.
He pretended not to see Jiang Lin, who took the initiative to seduce him on their first meeting.
He simply smiled and encouraged the three of them to work hard, saying that if they achieved good results, they would be rewarded handsomely.
After instructing them to return to their posts, Ye Tianyu sat down and made himself a cup of tea.
I just took a sip.
My phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number.
After the connection is established.
A woman's extremely tense voice came from the other end.
"Tianyu, I'm Aunt Zhang."
"Something terrible has happened! Your mother has just been kidnapped by a group of people!"
"What?"
"My mom has been kidnapped?"
a bolt from the blue.
The woman on the phone was named Zhang Yin. She was Zhong Shuqin's neighbor and had a good relationship with Zhong Shuqin. Ye Tianyu called her Aunt Zhang.
Ye Tianyu asked urgently, "Aunt Zhang, who did this?"
"I don't know!"
Zhang Yin said angrily, "A few men came in aggressively, barged into your mother's house, and dragged her into a car and drove away without saying a word!"
Ye Tianyu's blood surged instantly, and he gritted his teeth.
"Aunt Zhang, I'm heading back to the countryside right now. Wait for me!"
After Ye Tianyu finished speaking, he hung up the phone, instructed Qingtianhu to stay at the Pinjian Hall, and then quickly went out and drove straight to Jinniu Village.
His most filial son was his adoptive mother, Zhong Shuqin.
Anyone who dares to hurt her will be met with a fierce fight, regardless of their identity.
Zhong Shuqin was a kind-hearted woman from the countryside who had no grudges against anyone and had never offended anyone.
Suddenly someone came to the countryside to kidnap her. Ye Tianyu knew in his heart that the person who kidnapped his adoptive mother must have had a grudge against him.
If he has any problems or hatred, he should take it out on himself. Running to the countryside to deal with his adoptive mother is just trash.
Ye Tianyu was filled with rage and floored the accelerator the whole way.
It usually takes half an hour to get to Jinniu Village, but this time it only took twenty minutes.
As soon as the car stopped in front of Zhong Shuqin's old bungalow, Zhang Yin, who had been waiting, immediately ran over.
"Tianyu, you've finally arrived!"
"I'm so worried! Those people have taken your mother somewhere!"
Ye Tianyu looked stern.
Aunt Zhang, don't be nervous, let me find out first.
"What kind of car did that group of people drive, and which direction did they leave from?"
"I don't know much about cars!"
Zhang Yin gestured with her hands: "It's black, and I heard from passersby that it's some kind of SUV!"
"They came in from the village entrance and then left the same way they came!"
Ye Tianyu understood. If someone came in from the village entrance and left the same way, they must have come from a very far place.
Undoubtedly, the mastermind behind Zhong Shuqin's kidnapping had a grudge against him.
He already knew who it was.
However, he needs evidence before he can go to that person.
Upon entering, I inspected the room. It was tidy and there were no signs of vandalism.
Clearly, the group's main objective was to kidnap Zhong Sheqin.
Ye Tianyu's eyes flashed with a cold light. To get evidence, he had to check the surveillance footage at the village entrance.
This time, he couldn't rely entirely on himself; he would have to rely on the inspection bureau to review the surveillance footage.
Immediately, I called the police.
The patrol station that oversees these villages is not far away.
Half an hour later, three fully armed patrolmen arrived at the scene.
Ye Tianyu immediately explained the situation to them.
The three inspectors examined the scene but found no valuable clues, so they agreed to Ye Tianyu's suggestion to review the surveillance footage...
