Song Mian was completely stunned by Qi Yefeng's words and quickly tugged at his sleeve: "Don't say so many embarrassing things in public!"
She discovered that Qi Yefeng was usually quite normal, but he would turn into a die-hard fan whenever she was mentioned!
The problem is that not only is he brain-dead, but he's also shameless!
Qi Yefeng seemed oblivious to Song Mian's expression, as if she wished she could disappear into the ground, and continued, "Our entire family stands with Miss Song Mian, so if you really bring any danger to Miss Song Mian, I will be the first to disagree."
"Alright!" Song Mian reached out and forcefully pulled Qi Yefeng down to sit, her face now completely flushed.
"Chief Ling Jiao, please don't mind. My friend was just too worried about me. He didn't mean any harm." Song Mian looked helplessly at Qi Yefeng.
Ling Jiao maintained her composure throughout, smiled gently, and said, "I understand. Miss Song, you have very good friends. I know your friends helped you last time, and your friendship is truly enviable."
“However, I can also guarantee that what I asked Miss Song to do will not threaten her safety.” Ling Jiao said, taking a photo out of her pocket and handing it to Song Mian.
After Song Mian took the photo, she discovered that it showed a teenager.
The boy looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, with fair skin and handsome features. Even though he hadn't fully grown up yet, it was easy to tell that he would definitely grow up to be a rare and handsome man.
The boy stood in front of the pure white wall and took a photo. His aura was aloof and untouched by worldly dust, so calm that he seemed unreal. In particular, his expressionless face revealed a distant and indifferent feeling that kept people at a distance.
Although she was only holding a photograph, Song Mian could still clearly sense the other person's aloof demeanor.
This was the first time Song Mian had seen someone with such a unique aura, so she couldn't help but take a closer look.
"This is the person I want you to help with this time. His name is Yu Bai, and he's practically my adopted son. He's never been very good at interacting with people. So, I hope you can help me spend some time with him and take him out more often," Ling Jiao said.
"Is it enough to just take him out for a walk?" Song Mian had originally thought that Ling Jiao had come to her because she had something crucial to tell her.
Unexpectedly, all Ling Jiao wanted to say to him after all that effort was this.
“Yes. As long as he is willing to have more contact with the outside world, that’s enough. I don’t have any other requirements for my adopted son.” Ling Jiao took a sip of tea and continued, “However, this child is a bit stubborn, so I hope Miss Song can be more tolerant. If he really does something disobedient, Miss Song can take action whenever necessary.”
Seeing Ling Jiao's serious expression, Song Mian looked at the handsome young man in the photo again and suddenly felt that the other party had become troublesome.
After thinking for a moment, Song Mian and Qi Yefeng agreed to Ling Jiao's request to make contact with Yu Bai first. They quickly arrived at the luxury apartment where Yu Bai lived, following the address provided by Ling Jiao.
Yu Bai's home is located on the top floor of the apartment building. After arriving at Yu Bai's door, Song Mian and Qi Yefeng rang Yu Bai's doorbell directly.
Silence fell inside the door. Just as Song Mian thought Yu Bai was not home, the tightly closed door in front of her was pushed open from the inside.
A boy, as pale as the one in the photo, walked out from among them.
Yu Bai remained in the position of opening the door, his eyes filled with doubt. After looking Song Mian up and down, he asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for you! You're Yu Bai, right? I'm Song Mian, sent by your father, Ling Jiao, to take care of you. Hello." Song Mian said, extending her hand to Yu Bai warmly.
However, Yu Bai not only showed no friendliness towards Song Mian, but even closed the door, giving Song Mian the cold shoulder.
"Thank you, but I don't need anyone to take care of me. Please go back." Yu Bai's voice was full of resistance, and he locked the door before giving Song Mian a chance to say another word.
"We didn't mean any harm, why are you so resistant to us?" After knocking hard on the door to no avail, Qi Yefeng's expression became conflicted: "Miss Song, I told you that the matter Chief Ling asked us to do wasn't so simple!"
"It seems so... Never mind, let's go. I'll treat you to dinner first, and then we'll see how things go. If it doesn't work out, we can come back later." Song Mian really wanted to spend more time with Yu Bai.
However, if Yu Bai insists on turning her away, and she still can't get good results after trying, then she will have no choice but to give up on contacting Yu Bai.
Qi Yefeng couldn't bear to refuse Song Mian, so he went with her to a restaurant near Gongyu.
The two found a suitable private room. Qi Yefeng looked at Song Mian sitting opposite him and said, "I heard before that you encountered a female ghost from hell? Miss Song Mian, I think you might be able to deal with that female ghost first. Moreover, the situation with Chen Shubin, the male ghost, is still a bit unclear. Old Ancestor Lin appeared to me in a dream last night, hoping that I would come and help you today. Boss, do you suspect that Chen Shubin has a problem?"
Qi Yefeng had already planned to help Song Mian, but he still told Song Mian about Lin Jiaojiao's appearance.
“I knew Jiaojiao cared about me.” Song Mian said, a relieved smile appearing on her lips. “It’s not that I suspect he has a problem. Mr. Chen did help me, and I’m still grateful to him. Besides, I’ve fulfilled Mr. Chen’s wish, so our deal is completely done.”
She suspected that there was some connection between Chen Shubin and her grandmother.
However, fortunately, she got what Chen Shubin wanted. Whether Chen Shubin can use this pearl bracelet to find the person he wants to see is no longer her concern.
Seeing Song Mian's insistence, Qi Yefeng couldn't refuse: "Miss Song, actually, I came here today because there is something I want to tell you."
Song Mian had been focused on eating her steak until she heard Qi Yefeng's words, at which point she curiously looked up at him.
Qi Yefeng: "I'm actually quite interested in things like ghosts, so last night I had someone investigate thoroughly. As a result, I found the Chen family from about a hundred years ago and did obtain some basic information about Miss Chen."
"Then you can tell me. I reckon Chen Shubin will be very happy to hear about the past when he comes tonight." Song Mian couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile as she thought about how she might be able to coax Chen Shubin into spending money again.
To everyone's surprise, Qi Yefeng gave a bitter smile: "Miss Song is probably going to be disappointed. Because, according to my investigation, the Chen family only had one eldest daughter, Chen Shi, and no male heirs. It was because of this that after Chen Shi's father passed away, she was adopted by relatives who took advantage of her father's family line, and even married her off in the end."
Song Mian paused in her eating, then looked up at Qi Yefeng: "So, Chen Shubin is lying?"
According to Chen Shubin, Chen Shi is his sister, but there is no such person as Chen Shubin in the Chen family. This means that one of the Chen family and Chen Shubin must be lying.
“That’s my suspicion. However, this information is from a full hundred years ago, so it’s hard to say if there’s anything suspicious about it,” Qi Yefeng said.
Song Mian nodded in agreement and then continued eating her steak.
Seeing Song Mian's calm reaction, Qi Yefeng tentatively asked, "Miss Song, aren't you disappointed? Chen Shubin lied to us."
