Although Wen Yin was an illegitimate child, she was the eldest among Wen Ruohai's grandchildren, so after she was brought back, everyone below her called her the eldest lady. Wen Xi, who was originally the eldest lady, became the second youngest.
"Bring it in."
Wen Yin opened the door and glanced at the maid.
"yes."
The maid put the milk on the tray on the table and stepped aside, not seeming to intend to leave immediately.
"What's up?"
"That damn girl spoke to Wen Yuan right after you left."
"What did you say?"
"I don't know. The place where they were standing was open, and I couldn't get close to them."
Wen Yin shook the milk in her hand nonchalantly, no longer showing the timidity she had shown in front of Wen Chenghui just now.
She gracefully drank a few sips of the imported milk that was heated to just the right temperature, then put down the cup and wiped her mouth with a piece of paper.
"According to the previous plan, as long as he takes the bait."
Wen Yin was not concerned, as she concluded that Wen Xi couldn't possibly know the situation Wen Yuan was about to face.
After crumpling up the tissue into a ball and throwing it into the half-full cup of milk, she spoke softly with her red lips.
"Okay." The maid responded.
The maid looked to be in her thirties or forties, not very good-looking. She would be completely inconspicuous in a crowd of people. If someone with face blindness met her, they would not have any impression of her at all.
"You did a good job adding fuel to the fire just now," said the maid.
"Are you spying on me again?"
Wen Yin suddenly looked up at her, her anger rising.
"Why are you so angry, Miss Wen? You know these are the rules from above, and I'm just following them. Even I'm being monitored 24 hours a day."
Wen Yin glared at her: "Is there anything else? I'm tired and need to rest."
"There's something else my superiors want me to tell you. Don't just focus on having a good life. You have to pay attention to the tasks I assigned you earlier!"
"I have to protect myself first. You've seen how tightly they've held onto me these past few years. If what happened back then were to be uncovered, not only would the mission be ruined, but all the hard work I've put into the Wen family over the years would be ruined!"
"I explained the situation," the maid raised her eyelids and continued, "but the higher-ups don't want to hear that. They just want results. Looking for someone, but there's no clue after all these years. How can they not be angry? They're even starting to doubt whether you, who have helped the Wen family for so long, are still worthy of their help."
"That's a nice way to put it. Patronage? Has he laundered less money over the years?"
"Miss, your words are meaningless. Aren't we mutually beneficial?"
Wen Yin was choked and speechless.
"If it weren't for Mr. Crow, what you did..."
"Alright, stop talking!" Wen Yin stopped her sternly. "Tell my husband that I will do my best to carry out what he has asked. Don't worry. As long as that woman is still alive, I will search the entire country to find her."
"Don't just limit yourself to that woman. I heard she was pregnant when she escaped. Calculating the dates, if she didn't have an abortion, she might have grandchildren. Cast a wider net."
"I understand." Wen Yin said in a deep voice.
"Okay, then I won't disturb your rest, Miss."
The maid smiled, took the cup and walked out, and considerately closed the door for her.
Wen Yin bit her lips tightly, her fingers tangled in her thick hair, and it took her a long time to recover.
One wrong step leads to another, and now she has no choice but to go down this path.
She took out her phone from her bag and made a call: "Hello, it's me. How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"
