When it got dark, Jian Yixue saw that Ye Mohan was still busy, so she got up and went downstairs to prepare dinner for him.
Upon seeing Jian Yixue leave, Ye Mohan's expression immediately turned icy. He quickly opened another website and sent over a document that he had already prepared.
Then, he leaned back on the sofa, seemingly lost in thought.
Downstairs in the kitchen, Jian Yixue was skillfully cooking when she suddenly remembered the effects of the spirit lake water. She took some lake water out of her spatial storage and put it into the pot.
Before long, the three dishes and soup were ready, and they looked, smelled, and tasted delicious.
Zhou Yuxuan, who was passing by, smelled the aroma and came over. Looking at the delicious food in front of him, he swallowed hard.
I couldn't help but exclaim, "Sister-in-law, I never knew you could not only make delicious medicinal cuisine, but also cook such amazing dishes!"
Jian Yixue glanced at Zhou Yuxuan, and without even thinking, she knew what he meant.
"There's no share for you."
"Sister-in-law, please don't. Just leave me a little. There's no one here to cook. The food those men make is barely enough to fill my stomach."
Zhou Yuxuan was on the verge of tears; he had been there for several days and hadn't been eating well.
At that time, my second brother was still unconscious and in critical condition, so he couldn't even eat this piece.
Now that he has enjoyed the delicacies prepared by Jian Yixue, he is extremely unwilling to go back to eating the same old food.
If the enemy situation outside wasn't unclear, he could also go out to eat. Even if his cooking skills weren't as good as Jian Yixue's, they would at least be better than those big men who couldn't cook.
Don't be fooled by the villa's quiet appearance; there are dozens of people hiding in the shadows.
Zhou Yuxuan looked at Jian Yixue, who was serving rice to Ye Mohan, with a pitiful expression.
When did you find out that Ye Mohan was injured?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan wondered if his sister-in-law was planning to settle scores later.
It's not his fault. He just received a call from Lin Yi telling him to come over quickly. The plane was already on its way to pick him up, and he didn't have time to inform Jian Yixue.
Upon arrival, they discovered that Ye Mohan's injuries were far too severe. Coupled with the unclear situation here, and the fact that Ye Mohan had forbidden Lin Yi from telling Jian Yixue before he fell unconscious, how could he dare to disobey his second brother's wishes?
"Sister-in-law, it's really not my fault. I only found out how seriously my second brother was injured when I got here. He was afraid you would worry, so he asked Lin Yi to let you know he was safe before he fainted. How could I dare to do that!"
He was truly wronged! He was forced to conspire with them to cover it up.
"The situation is unclear? Do you know what happened?"
Jian Yixue noticed this as soon as she entered yesterday: the villa was clearly loose on the outside but tight on the inside.
There were no bodyguards outside, but inside the villa, almost every room had people on duty 24 hours a day to keep watch.
Zhou Yuxuan was startled.
Goodness, did Second Brother not tell Sister-in-law?
If my second brother finds out that I let it slip, he'll skin me alive.
Jian Yixue stared intently at Zhou Yuxuan, leaving Zhou Yuxuan in a dilemma—whether to speak or remain silent.
After a mental struggle, he decided to just give up and said, "My second brother came here because the goods in a transaction were hijacked. We had arranged to discuss it, but something went wrong. As for the details of the discussion, Lin Yi and my second brother, who were involved, are more familiar with them."
As Zhou Yuxuan spoke, a sudden idea struck him. He had to drag someone down with him. If his second brother came after him, at least he'd have someone to share the burden.
Jian Yixue stared at Zhou Yuxuan for a while, and seeing that he didn't seem guilty, she knew that this was probably all he knew.
The incident involving Ye Mohan was likely the night she detoxified her grandfather. Zhou Yuxuan was still in China at the time, so it was the limit of what Zhou Yuxuan knew.
His gaze sharpened, and he decided to ask Youluo to investigate that night.
Given Ye Mohan's personality, he definitely wouldn't tell me; if I wanted to help him, I'd have to find another way.
"There's still some in the pot, help yourself."
Then she picked up the tray and went to deliver the food to Ye Mohan, who was too injured to go downstairs to eat.
Zhou Yuxuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked to the stove, beaming with joy: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Upstairs, when Jian Yixue pushed open the door and entered, Ye Mohan was in a video conference.
Jian Yixue tiptoed to the other side of the sofa and sat down. Seeing that he was busy, she took out her phone and started playing with it by herself.
Remembering what had just happened, she edited a text message and sent it to Youluo, asking her to help find out why Ye Mohan had come here this time.
If she had a suitable computer, she would have preferred to do it herself, as it would have been much faster.
After sending the message, she glanced at Ye Mohan, who was still having a video conference on the other end. It was the other person who was reporting, and he was sitting and listening, finally giving his guidance and suggestions.
He exuded an aura that only someone who had held a high position for many years possessed, and his every move radiated a captivating charm that left her mesmerized.
Perhaps Jian Yixue's gaze was too direct, for Ye Mohan, who was listening to his subordinate's report, looked up at her.
"What's wrong?"
Jian Yixue was taken aback, then realized her lapse in composure and shook her head apologetically, "It's okay, you can continue."
The voice reporting from the other end of the laptop abruptly stopped.
He suspected he was hallucinating; he seemed to hear a woman's soft, sweet voice coming from the CEO's side.
He looked at everyone in the conference room with a puzzled expression, and all he saw were people who shared his confusion.
Just as everyone was racking their brains trying to figure it out, Ye Mohan's voice came.
"continue."
Seeing that Jian Yixue was indeed alright, Ye Mohan looked away.
The person who had just given the report showed a fleeting look of panic, but quickly composed himself and continued his report.
After giving the report, a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Ye Mohan ignored him, almost without thinking, raising a bunch of questions from his report, giving suggestions for each one, and then moving on to the next.
Throughout the entire process, his high intelligence was on full display.
Jian Yixue lay back playing games, thinking to herself, "Are there really such big differences between people? I feel like Ye Mohan is a natural leader."
Ye Mohan looked at the woman opposite him, afraid that she would find the meeting boring, and quietly sped up the pace of the meeting.
He managed to compress what was originally a three-hour summary meeting into just one hour.
The people in the opposite office suffered. With Ye Mohan's speed, their keyboards were practically smoking from typing so much, and they barely managed to jot down what Ye Mohan said. It would take them several hours to organize the notes afterward.
After Ye Mohan finished speaking, he immediately closed the meeting and closed his laptop.
Seeing that Ye Mohan had closed his laptop, put down his phone, picked up his plate, and stood up to heat up his food, Jian Yixue said, "I'll heat it up for you, wait a moment."
"It's alright, it's still warm."
Ye Mohan reached out and grabbed Jian Yixue, blocking her path.
When Jian Yixue heard him say that, she touched the rim of the bowl and found that it was still warm, so she didn't insist on heating the food any further and sat back down on the sofa.
She reached out and placed the notebook in front of Ye Mohan aside, then pushed the plate in front of him.
