Chapter 298 Night Red's Background
Upon seeing Ye Lihong, Su Liping screamed in terror.
The old lady's eyes showed displeasure.
"What are you yelling about?"
Su Liping took the old lady's hand and stepped back, moving further away from Ye Lihong.
"Mom, she's trying to harm me. She's the one who's been following me."
The old woman slapped her hand; "What do you mean, 'harm you'? This girl is so beautiful, how could she harm anyone?"
"mom……"
What are you arguing about?
Chen Yishou also came out from inside, and Su Liping took his hand again; "Old Chen, it's her, the one I told you about..."
"Hey, you need to keep an eye on your wife. She's been acting crazy these past few days. What's wrong with her?"
The old lady scolded her.
Then he stepped forward, took Ye Lihong's hand, and said kindly, "Miss, you look unfamiliar. You're not from this town, are you?"
Ye Lihong shook her head.
"I knew it! There aren't any girls as pretty as you in our town. Where do you live now?"
Ye Hong pointed to the hotel not far away.
"Stay at a hotel? Are you here for tourism?"
Night Red nodded.
"Then come to our house for a meal. We just cooked it. Grandma, I feel so close to you. If you want to know anything about this place, I'll tell you."
Ye Lihong nodded and then actually went inside with the old lady.
Su Liping was a little nervous.
"Old Chen, why didn't you stop her? Look, Mom just brought a stranger into the house like that."
"What's there to stop her? She's just a young lady, it's just a meal. Alright, alright, don't overthink it, go inside and eat."
"But……"
"No buts, let's go!"
Chen pushed his wife inside.
...
At the dinner table, the old lady didn't eat, she just stared at Ye Hong.
"Young lady, what's your name?"
"I have no name."
Night Red gave a cold reply.
"ah?"
This answer surprised all three of them.
However, the old lady thought she was being wary, so she continued with a smile and asked, "How can a person not have a name? Young lady, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. We can get to know each other slowly. By the way, do you have a boyfriend?"
After going through such a long and complicated process, the old lady finally asked the question she wanted to ask.
Ye Hong paused for a moment.
Then he shook his head.
"Oh, what a coincidence! I have a grandson who's about your age. He's clever, has a good personality, and is a college student. He's working in Donghai now..."
The old lady clearly wanted to be tied up with a red string.
Su Liping grew anxious; "Mom! Why are you saying all this?"
Hearing Su Liping stop her from asking questions, the old lady got angry; "You parents have never cared about your son's marriage. I don't have many years left to live, can't you let me ask one more question?"
"I won't talk about it."
Ye Hong's reply was still as indifferent as ever.
The old lady was a little embarrassed; "Young lady, don't jump to conclusions so quickly. Let me show you what my grandson looks like first..."
The old lady got up and picked up her phone as she spoke.
Then I made a video call to Chen Zhe.
When Chen Yishou and his wife tried to stop them, Chen Zhe had already answered the call.
"Grandma, what made you decide to call me? Did you miss me?"
"Haha, grandson, Grandma wants to show you someone. She's a very pretty girl. Would you like to get to know her?"
"Grandma, no need..."
The old lady didn't ask Chen Zhe for his opinion; she just did whatever she wanted.
Holding the phone, I pointed it at the red night.
Ye Hong glanced around and was stunned when she saw Chen Zhe.
Chen Zhe's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Cold sweat poured down at a visible rate.
"Hi."
Hong coldly uttered a single word at night.
Chen Zhe swallowed hard; he knew he needed to remain calm.
If he gets too excited, he might anger the assassin, and if he does, his family's lives could be in danger.
"Could we... talk in private for a moment?"
Chen Zhe asked cautiously.
Ye Lihong hesitated for a moment, then nodded, took the old lady's phone, and went outside.
The old lady immediately burst into laughter; "See? I told you they were a perfect match, but you wouldn't believe me!"
The Chen couple looked at each other, somewhat bewildered. Could it be that they had really fallen for each other?
...
Standing outside the house.
Hong held her phone at night, her heart in turmoil. She never imagined that the person she was going to kill was her own younger brother.
However, Chen Zhe was unaware of this connection.
"Um... could you please leave my family alone? You can name your conditions."
Because she was abandoned because she was going to give birth to Chen Zhe, Ye Lihong still harbors some resentment towards Chen Zhe, but she doesn't intend to bring up this relationship.
What price can you afford?
Hearing that the other party was willing to negotiate, Chen Zhe breathed a sigh of relief; "How much do you want?"
"10 million for a human life, that's my price."
Chen Zhe hesitated for a moment.
My parents and grandmother together represent three lives, which would cost 30 million.
"I don't have that much money right now."
"If you don't have money, you can just wait to collect your corpse."
Night Red's cold voice frightened Chen Zhe: "Please wait a moment! I only have 15 million in my bank account right now. I'll give you 15 million and then send you a message along with it. Is that alright?"
"What kind of news could be worth 15 million?"
"Someone wants to kill you."
"I know your men can't kill me. It's a pity your information isn't worth 15 million."
"No, they are not our people, they are from the Heavenly Ranking."
Upon hearing the Heavenly Ranking, Ye Lihong's expression became much more serious.
"you say."
"Promise me first, promise me you won't hurt them."
"good."
Hearing Ye Lihong agree, Chen Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and then told her what he had heard that day.
"Ranked 15th on the Heavenly Ranking?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I got it, bye."
Ye Lihong didn't give Chen Zhe a chance and hung up the phone directly. Just as she was about to go in, the old lady came out with a smile.
"How was the chat, young lady?"
Night Red nodded; "It's alright."
The old lady was even happier to hear this; "Haha, so what's your impression of my grandson?"
"Not very good."
The old lady's face fell even more.
“Well… young lady, although my grandson isn’t particularly capable, he told me he earns over 10,000 yuan a month. You should really consider it.”
Ye Lihong wanted to laugh after hearing those words.
It seems my younger brother is a bit cunning. He makes a lot of money in the city, but tells the family he only makes 10,000 yuan a month. What a sly fellow!
"I'm leaving!"
Ye Hong returned the phone to the old lady. She needed to leave immediately because that person on the Heavenly Ranking would find her sooner or later.
She knew they had such methods.
The old lady stepped forward and grabbed Ye Lihong's hand, somewhat anxiously; "Young lady, why are you in such a hurry? Let's talk some more. My grandson is really a good person, I'm not lying to you. He still has his 'Three Good Student' award certificate from his school days in his room. I'll take you to see it."
"No need, I'm not interested."
Hong turned and left without lingering.
The old lady sighed, leaning on her cane.
"What a wonderful girl! Alas, my eldest grandson doesn't have that blessing."
...
As soon as Hong returned to her room and was about to open the door, she noticed that the strand of hair tied to the door had broken off, and she frowned.
Then, they quietly backed away.
Inside the room.
Lin Yi had already pointed his gun at the door. He had just heard light footsteps and was just waiting for the other party to open the door so he could finish his mission with a single shot.
But after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
He quietly approached, first glancing through the peephole. Seeing no one outside, he didn't immediately open the door and go out, but instead called the front desk.
He bribed the receptionist before he even entered.
That's why we were able to enter the room without damaging the door.
When he heard that the target had just left, he knew he had been exposed.
"You've got some skill!"
Lin Yi put away his gun, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and quickly chased after them.
...
The old lady sat in a rocking chair, fanning herself with a fan.
At this time, the red night returned.
“I’m quite interested in your grandson. Take me in to see his certificates of merit.”
The old lady's eyes lit up.
"Okay, okay!"
...
In Donghai City.
Chen Zhe had already boarded the car heading to his hometown. Zhang Kai and Mo Xiaohao were also in the car, and both of them were carrying guns.
Zhang Kai fully utilized his racing skills, never letting up on the accelerator the entire way.
...
In the apartment.
Abao said, "Sister Hu, Manager Chen is heading towards Linxian Town. Should we send someone to follow him?"
"Follow."
"yes."
...
In Chen Zhe's room, the old lady held Ye Lihong's hand and kept introducing Chen Zhe's things.
"These are my grandson's certificates from when he was a child. He has awards for being a good student, first prize, and special prize. And this is his gold medal for sports; he was also a very fast runner..."
The old lady kept talking and talking.
Ye Lihong went straight to the table, picked up a group photo. In the photo, Chen Yishou and his wife looked very young, while Su Liping was heavily pregnant. The two of them were smiling happily in the photo.
The photo has a date printed on it.
May 3, 1999.
Ye Hong was shocked. According to the date, the baby in the photo was her.
She suddenly felt a lump in her throat, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
The old lady came over and asked with some surprise, "Young lady, what's wrong?"
At this moment, Su Liping and her husband also arrived.
They knew the old lady had brought people in without permission, and they were already somewhat unwilling to accept it.
Su Liping snatched the photo from Ye Lihong's hand and hugged it tightly to her chest.
"What are you doing with my things? Get out!"
Before Ye Hong could react, the old lady yelled, "Why are you being so fierce? Can't that young lady come in and see our grandson's room? Why are you putting your photos here? You can take them to your room!"
"Mom, why did you let a stranger in? This is Zhe's room."
Su Liping said.
"What's with the 'outsider' thing? Maybe we'll be family in the future. There's nothing special in his room anyway, will looking at it cost us anything?"
"Mom! Can't you be reasonable?"
"How am I being unreasonable? I'm trying to find a wife for my grandson, and I'm being unreasonable? I think you're the unreasonable one. You don't even deserve to be a parent. You don't even consider your son's marriage."
The two were arguing, and Ye Hong stared blankly at the photo in Su Liping's hand.
The person in front of him was his biological mother, and what she was holding in her arms was probably the only photo they had taken together so far.
Knock knock knock.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Chen Yishou called out impatiently, but no one answered.
"How annoying, who is playing this prank?"
Just as Chen Yishou was about to go out to take a look, Ye Lihong suddenly stopped him.
"Don't open the door!"
