Chapter 161
When Zhang Zhi heard this, he was subconsciously stunned.
How did the ribs break? Who was that person? And who dared to do this to Wen Jiu? Aren't they afraid of being plotted against?
Zhang Zhi thought about it, his expression a little dazed.
The head of the Wen family in front of him, the current Viscount Cecil, said without any change in expression after hearing this.
However, the frequency of his blinking increased a little, and the red mole on his eyelid was flashing even faster.
"Did you see him?"
"Yes, he's still there. His face is red with anger."
The second son of the Wen family said with a smile on his face on the other end of the phone.
"Be careful not to piss him off."
Wen Yi in front of him still had an expressionless face as he spoke, and he looked very calm.
But Zhang Zhi had already noticed that Wen Yi was about to crush the antique pen in his hand, and even there was a hint of sinisterness in his eyes.
"No, we all know that he's very soft-hearted towards ordinary people. Even when he wanted to push me away, he seemed very hesitant. The force he used on me was not much heavier than a cat's scratch."
The voice on the other end of the phone said with a smile.
Zhang Zhi watched as Wen Yi broke the antique pen in his hand.
“…Don’t forget your mission.”
Wen Yi silently put the broken antique pen aside and was silent for a long while before speaking.
"I have already completed the mission. Now it's free time, dear brother."
Wen Jiu on the other end of the phone said with a rising voice.
"I know."
His voice was as calm as ever, which made Zhang Zhi admire him a little. He was indeed worthy of being called Boss Wen. No wonder he was able to be a senior executive while he could only help him. Look at his vision and his broad mind...
Zhang Zhi was thinking with regret when he heard his boss, whom he had just regretted, speak in a calm tone.
"—But I mean the mission you're about to receive."
Wen Jiu on the other end of the call fell silent immediately, but the hurried voice coming from the other end proved that he was a little flustered.
The next second, a wailing sound came from the other end of the phone.
"Wen! Yi! You're going too far in your personal revenge. You just shoved 20 missions at me! You—"
Zhang Zhi watched helplessly as his boss assigned the backlog of tasks to his younger brother.
Then he calmly hung up the phone with his younger brother, his expression showing awe but also a hint of sympathy for Wen Jiu on the other side.
——You clearly know that your brother is very narrow-minded, but you still provoke him.
Now that I have received 20 tasks at once, I think I will behave myself now.
Zhang Zhi was thinking about his report. After leaving get off work like a normal worker, he turned around and told his teacher, Mr. Li, who was also the director of the orphanage, about what happened today.
"...That's the thing, Teacher. I didn't expect that Boss Wen and his brother actually had this side to them. I just don't know who that 'he' is. It actually caused such a big reaction from Boss Wen."
Zhang Zhi spoke with a smile, and Teacher Li found it very interesting at first, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and in the end his expression became solemn.
Zhang Zhi also realized that something was wrong and asked:
"Is there something wrong with the teacher? Is there something wrong with the 'he' in Wen Lao Er's words? Is it related to the organization?"
Zhang Zhi said this with some nervousness, but this was also their normal reaction.
——After all, they are the villain army. Who has ever seen a rebel group so calm after discovering something is wrong?
However, Teacher Li was silent for a while, but just shook his head and said:
"This matter has nothing to do with you. I will tell the leader, but remember to keep your mouth shut. Don't tell anyone about this, especially the third son of the Wen family. Do you understand?"
Teacher Li's serious expression scared Zhang Zhi, but he still seriously swore that he would never reveal the news to anyone.
Teacher Li nodded with satisfaction and let Zhang Zhi leave.
Then the calm expression on the stage that was trying to comfort Zhang Zhi disappeared in an instant, and his expression became a little anxious.
Because he discovered something through Zhang Zhi's words just now.
"——When did those two little bastards find out that Ye Wangxing was their adoptive father?!"
Teacher Li really didn't expect this matter to be exposed so early. After all, Ye Wangxing was completely different from when he was in Black Star. When he was in Black Star, Ye Wangxing was thin and small. Even if he was taking care of a few children, he looked like a little frozen cat.
And because his face was covered in engine oil, black and dirty, no one paid attention to what he looked like - this was also the reason why Teacher Li almost dropped the communicator when Ye Wangxing contacted him.
Who would have thought that the dirty little frozen kitten would turn into a beautiful calico cat after being washed!
Could it be that they already knew what Ye Wangxing looked like? But that didn't make sense either. After all, Wen Lao San hadn't realized that the queen he was flirting with was actually his adoptive father. When he came back and asked about the queen, she looked bewildered.
Could it be that...
Teacher Li instantly remembered the methods of those little brats and began to search on the intelligent computer without hesitation.
——Then he discovered that there were two eavesdropping devices in the intelligent computer he used to contact Ye Wangxing.
Teacher Li: ...
Should he be happy that he knew the two students well, or should he grab those two little bastards and beat them up?
Teacher Li thought worriedly.
Although the damage to the electronic components showed that these two eavesdropping devices had not been used for a long time, it was obvious who they belonged to.
After all, these two little bastards had caused this kind of thing eight years ago. Although they hadn't done it again after being taught a lesson by the leader, they were the only two with a criminal record in the organization.
But how to teach these two little bastards a lesson is still a problem.
So, Teacher Li took the two eavesdropping devices and went to complain to the leader.
"Chief, these two little bastards can't be bothered! They actually put a bug into my brain. This is a serious violation of discipline!"
Teacher Li began to complain to the leader.
The leader simply fiddled with the two eavesdropping devices in his hands, and an expression of understanding appeared on his face.
"These two bugs were from the batch from eight years ago. I confiscated almost all of them back then. Judging from the situation, they haven't used them in those eight years. But that's not the point. The point is..."
The leader looked up at Teacher Li with a serious expression.
"What do you think they heard eight years ago?"
Teacher Li's expression suddenly turned ugly.
He was the one who used that intelligent computer to contact Ye Wangxing specifically, which meant that they must know Ye Wangxing's situation now.
If that's the case...
"Chief, I will give you a written report on this matter later, but right now I have something urgent to attend to."
Teacher Li said seriously.
He almost jumped up from his seat, and the leader was frightened by Teacher Li's serious look and nodded in agreement.
Teacher Li turned around and rushed into the room where he was working. Coincidentally, as soon as he rushed into the room, the intelligent computer that was found to have two eavesdropping devices lit up.
Teacher Li answered the call without saying a word. After all, there was only one person who could contact him using this intelligent computer.
——That is Ye Wangxing, who will commit a tragic human crime if he is not stopped!
However, when Teacher Li anxiously opened the phone and was about to tell Ye Wangxing what the two brats had done, before he could say anything, Ye Wangxing dropped a bomb instead.
"——I quit! Whoever wants to be the queen can be the queen! My three children are already 20 years old, so I don't have to pay child support anymore!"
Teacher Li: ...
Oh no, Lord Jin is about to run away!
"Those nobles were just [beep!], the Emperor was also [beep!], the Empress Dowager, the nobles, and the ministers were all [beep!]."
Teacher Li looked at Ye Wangxing's irritable expression with sincere sympathy.
It's not easy to be the queen of this empire. It's better for a queen like Ye Wangxing who is a puppet. All things are arranged for her to do. At most, she has a mentality of hard work and hard food. If a queen has some power but is forced to participate in those situations, she will probably be more irritable than Ye Wangxing.
Look at what Ye Wangxing said, it makes anyone who hears it sad and sees it cry.
"Ou Che, that [beep!], threw me out to please his lover. My life in the palace was already hard enough, I was saving money! And now I'm forced to be dragged out to serve as a control group for his lover!"
"You can't even depose me, the Queen, yet you have to resort to all these roundabout ways! You're complete waste!"
"And that captain of the guards, he's only twenty years old. He's just here to take care of me out of kindness, and he doesn't understand the elders in these situations. What's with those nobles' looks? And what about Ou Che's cuckolded look? Is he crazy? Doesn't he want me as his queen? He's [beep -]! He's messing with a kid!"
Ye Wangxing started to rant and curse everyone in the palace from top to bottom.
Even the Empress Dowager could not escape and was directly nailed by Ye Wangxing to the position of an unscrupulous boss who forced his workers to work overtime 24 hours a day and give birth to children.
Teacher Li sympathized with Ye Wangxing while frantically recording his complaints.
——After all, this is first-hand information from the Queen’s mouth, so even if there are some errors, they will not be too big.
Of course, Teacher Li also told Ye Wangxing about this matter, and Ye Wangxing's response was to calmly display on the holographic screen:
"I've already been abiding by professional ethics by not actively posting what color underwear Ou Che likes to wear online. The pressure of this job, combined with the pay, is only enough for me to keep silent on a daily basis."
So after Teacher Li recorded the situation in the palace without any burden, he also began to talk to Ye Wangxing as an old friend:
"So you really plan to quit now? But your job isn't easy to get out of. And the Queen Mother won't let you go, right? Do you need my help?"
Teacher Li asked with some concern.
After all, although Ye Wangxing is the financial backer of the organization, he is also a human being after all. The mental pressure in his current position is too great.
Teacher Li only saw Ye Wangxing swearing occasionally before, but now every time he calls, he can see Ye Wangxing sending messages on the screen like a machine gun. This shows how bad the environment around him is.
While comforting Ye Wangxing, he was thinking about reporting the matter to the leader. In case Ye Wangxing found a suitable planet, they would see if they could help in it. After all, he was the big sponsor who provided so much funds to the organization.
Teacher Li was thinking about it in his mind and trying to persuade Ye Wangxing, but only after he finished the conversation with Ye Wangxing did he realize something.
——Did he forget to tell Ye Wangxing about his three sons? !
Fortunately, after Teacher Li briefly told the leader the ethical relationship between these people, the leader calmly stated that the three of them might not be what he thought.
"After all, those three guys are still young. They probably just want to play a prank on their adoptive father who abandoned them. But remember to write the situation down clearly for me. I'll have to persuade them when the time comes."
The leader said with a headache, and Teacher Li readily accepted the task, but he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
So... did the three guys really just want to play a prank on Ye Wangxing as the leader said?
Teacher Li was worried, and the maid who was eavesdropping under Ye Wangxing's window was also worried.
However, unlike Teacher Li who was worried about the ethical relationship, the maid was only worried about the mental state of Her Majesty the Queen.
After all, with what happened during this period, although Her Majesty the Queen looked the same on the surface, she had already reached the point where she could pick up the holographic screen and start cursing.
"It's nice to have someone to complain to," the maid thought sympathetically.
The maid had actually known for a long time that Ye Wangxing had some connection with the director of the orphanage where his three adopted sons lived, and His Majesty naturally knew it as well. However, after discovering that the three adopted sons and the director of the orphanage had been on the Black Star, His Majesty only sent people to monitor them and did not pay much attention to them afterwards. Only the maid was monitoring to prevent Ye Wangxing from doing anything irreversible.
Today is no exception.
However, what the maid did not expect was that Her Majesty the Queen actually had the idea of leaving today.
But the angle of the conversation between Her Majesty the Queen and the director of the orphanage today was not very good. She could not see Her Majesty the Queen's holographic screen and could only guess Her Majesty's thoughts based on the director's reaction.
Then the maid heard the conversation between the director of the orphanage and His Highness.
"Don't you need help? You've already prepared the planet, so we can just go there and live in seclusion when the time comes?"
"Yes, you are right. His Majesty and the others will definitely help, but I am worried that you can't bear this gap."
"Yes, I remember now. You once told me that your dream was simple: a house, a farm, a few dogs, a few cats—as well as ownership of a planet and a billion in savings."
The maid who heard this said: ...Actually, that was also my dream.
The maid ended her eavesdropping career with envy, and after complaining, the Queen's mood became much more stable, but her eyes seemed more determined, and it seemed that she was determined to escape from the palace.
The maid had naturally reported the news truthfully to Gu Jin, Ou Che and others.
They had just returned from a charity event and had just taken care of themselves when they heard the news, which shocked them a little.
"I didn't expect Ye Wangxing to have such an idea. I thought he was going to hold on to the position of queen - I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would be disliked by others." Ou Che said with a complicated expression, and beside his feet, his spiritual lion also shook its tail a little irritably.
This was the first time that he was so despised by someone. Even though he knew that Ye Wangxing had never thought of being his queen, it was the first time today that he realized so clearly that Ye Wangxing really didn't want to be queen.
Gu Jin's heart sank suddenly. He knew that Ou Che really didn't have any feelings for Ye Wangxing, but Ou Che had his own pride as an emperor. Ye Wangxing's emotions would instead arouse Ou Che's desire to conquer.
Although it’s not much, just a little bit is enough for the Empress Dowager to use.
Gu Jin narrowed his eyes and said immediately:
"But this way, the Queen Mother's side will be easy to deal with. After all, if Ye Wangxing doesn't cooperate with her, she won't be able to have a child even if she wants one."
When Ou Che heard this, his originally complicated expression suddenly relaxed.
"That's true. Besides, the whole matter of having a child was just my dear mother's own words. Not to mention that Ye Wangxing won't cooperate with her, even whether her illegitimate son, Earl Cecil, would be willing to have his child is a question."
Ou Che raised an eyebrow and said, "After all, that Viscount, with his own team, integrated the entire empire's logistics and transportation network in his twenties. How could such a person be willing to be his secret lover?"
——After all, Ye Wangxing has no power.
Ou Che thought it through thoroughly, and Gu Jin thought the same.
Ye Wangxing couldn't bring power to that viscount. Although he had the support of the Queen Mother, he was still the illegitimate son of an illegitimate child...
In the aristocratic circle, such an identity cannot be obtained without the emperor's approval.
Gu Jin narrowed his eyes and thought. Although this seemed to be a set situation, Gu Jin felt inexplicably uneasy.
This also led him to say with worry:
"That's true, but the Queen Mother seems determined to achieve this..."
Ou Che narrowed his eyes and said with a hint of cruelty:
"So what? Mother is old."
Gu Jin looked at Ou Che's eyes and felt inexplicably touched. Ou Che looked like someone who had the power of life and death in his previous life.
——This also made Gu Jin subconsciously say:
"Then should we help Ye Wangxing?"
"...Forget it. There are various forces mixed up in the court these days. Whoever becomes the queen will be a target. I don't want you to suffer. Let Ye Wangxing take the brunt of it."
Gu Jin looked at Ou Che, who seemed somewhat helpless. Although he felt mixed emotions, he finally let his mind go.
——Fortunately, this guy didn’t become smarter.
Three days later.
Ye Wangxing at the celebration banquet was just as Gu Jin and Ou Che had imagined. Even though he looked calm and well-behaved, no matter who spoke to him, he would not respond, and at most would nod or shake his head.
He looked cowardly, but in fact Gu Jin had already discovered that Ye Wangxing wanted to escape.
——After all, Ye Wangxing’s every movement was telling him to leave.
As expected, less than half an hour after the celebration banquet was announced, Ye Wangxing stood up and left. The direction he walked seemed to be the corridor leading to the small garden.
But not many people were paying attention to him.
After all, everyone knew that the Queen was just a title. Even the Earl's son, Viscount Cecil, didn't even glance at the Queen the entire time. This situation also made Gu Jin, who had been inexplicably uneasy before, breathe a sigh of relief.
"...I'm really overthinking it. Is Ye Wangxing some kind of succubus? Anyone who sees him would fall in love with him."
Gu Jin thought about it, turned around with a smile and went to the terrace on the second floor of the banquet hall with Ou Che.
Even though Ou Che was deeply in love with him, he still had not forgotten the children he had with Ye Wangxing and other people in his previous life.
Even though he is currently in an invincible position in this life, he is prepared for a rainy day and still plans to give Ou Che some sweet treats to maintain their relationship.
Gu Jin knew Ou Che's taste very well. This guy just liked to do things that were nothing to do - for example, if someone called him to watch the sunrise at three o'clock in the evening, Ou Che would definitely not be angry, and would even feel that he cared about him very much.
So he would naturally be happy to go with me to watch the stars during the break of the banquet.
——Then the people he arranged could take advantage of Ou Che’s absence to contact those royalists.
Gu Jin was thinking, and when she came to the terrace, she had a smile on her face, and Ou Che, who was standing beside her, looked at Gu Jin with a look of joy.
The two of them standing together look like a perfect match.
But just as Gu Jin was about to say what he had prepared, he glanced down inadvertently and saw a figure walking in the corridor.
"Ye Wangxing? What is he doing in the corridor?"
Ou Che on the side expressed Gu Jin's doubts, but before they could think about it, they saw another figure walking out of the banquet hall door.
That was the protagonist of the banquet, Viscount Cecil—Gu Jin didn’t remember his name carefully, after all, there was only one Viscount Cecil in the entire empire.
He looked a little haggard, which they knew when the banquet just started tonight. After all, it was really difficult to handle the logistics business of the entire empire.
And now this person walked out of the banquet hall. He seemed to be under great mental stress and wanted to come out to relax.
Gu Jin thought about it, but he always had a bad feeling in his heart.
——Especially when he saw Viscount Cecil stumbling towards Ye Wangxing.
Even though he knew that Viscount Cecil's target should be the small garden at the end of the corridor, Ye Wangxing happened to be in that corridor, leaning against the pillar.
Ou Che also noticed something was wrong, but he didn't have as strong a premonition as Gu Jin. After all, Viscount Cecil didn't pay any attention to Ye Wangxing at all in the hall from beginning to end.
How could a man so obsessed with ambition and power possibly fall for his timid and cowardly queen?
Ou Che felt that what he thought was completely fine.
However, soon, Ou Che saw Viscount Cecil, who looked down on the Queen completely, tripped himself in a completely "careless" posture after seeing Ye Wangxing, and crashed directly into his Queen.
Ou Che subconsciously thought that Viscount Cecil was either doing it on purpose, or really wanted to pick a fight with Ye Wangxing, but...
"hiss--"
The scene in front of him made Gu Jin gasp, and Ou Che suddenly felt a spring in his head.
——After Viscount Cecil was ‘accidentally’ tripped, his chest muscles, tightly wrapped in a tight black shirt, were directly pressed against the Queen’s face.
Judging by the degree of wrinkling in the shirt and the way the soft flesh on the Queen's face was pushed out, it must have felt amazing.
But the Queen probably doesn't like this kind of contact.
——The mute was at a loss and was about to scream.
