Upon hearing the young man's words, Yan Yuan suddenly understood.
Yes, he originally went to steal their child as a bargaining chip. According to intelligence, they only found one child, meaning that another child is still missing.
And now that they have come to chase after us in person, it has confirmed this intelligence.
Otherwise, if they just wanted to settle scores with him, they wouldn't have needed the whole family to come out in person.
Unless, of course, their purpose in coming here wasn't him, but rather because they thought the child was with him.
Therefore, it seems quite feasible to use this to force Dongfang Tinglan to hand over the Shennong Token.
Yan Yuan glanced at the person approvingly, and was about to praise him when Lan Sha spoke first.
"Master, you mustn't."
Yan Yuan was immediately displeased and looked at Lan Sha, who had interrupted him, saying, "What do you mean, 'can't'? Or do you have a better plan?!"
Yan Yuan was really dissatisfied with Lan Sha. He didn't know why, but he always felt that Lan Sha would give him a blow when he decided to do something big.
Or is it that women are simply narrow-minded and will never have the same ambition as men?
If it weren't for the fact that she almost died saving him, he would never have let her stay by his side.
Lansha frowned and said, "No. But Master, if the mission fails, and they believe the child is with you..."
Yan Yuan said coldly, "Lan Sha!"
"Since you don't have a better master, you should learn to shut up! Although I value you, don't take this for granted! You should also learn to be broad-minded and accept that others are better than you!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Sha was taken aback, and then replied, "Yes, Master."
She knew that what she had said today had displeased her master, and not just a little, since no master likes a subordinate who keeps contradicting him.
Lansha immediately lowered her head and did not speak again.
Seeing this, Yan Yuan was still a little angry, but thinking of how she had risked her life to save him, she swallowed her anger.
He then shifted his gaze from her to the young man who had made the suggestion earlier and asked, "What's your name?"
Yan Yuan usually delegated his tasks to Lan Sha, so he didn't know the name of the person in front of him, but felt that he looked somewhat familiar.
The young man was very happy to hear this, but he did not show it on his face, appearing calm and composed.
“Outer Protector, my name is Lei Pei.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Yuan nodded with great satisfaction.
"Very good, then I'll leave this matter to you."
Lei Pei bowed and said, "Yes, Outer Protector."
Lei Pei's performance greatly pleased Yan Yuan, making him increasingly convinced that he had not misjudged Lei Pei.
When Lansha saw this, she opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Because she understands that whatever she says now will backfire.
...
Zijinyuan.
The next morning, after breakfast, the group was in the living room when Yoruichi suddenly rushed in from outside.
Ye Yi approached Ye Mohan and said, "Master, there's news."
Upon hearing this, before Ye Mohan could speak, Jian Yixue, who was holding a can of cola, immediately asked, "Is there news about Lemon?"
Yoruichi nodded to Jian Yixue and said, "Yes, Madam."
Jian Yixue quickly handed the cola to Aunt Qiu and said, "What news? Tell me quickly."
Yoruichi said, "Just now, our people monitoring Yan Yuan's villa discovered that one of their men was carrying a baby and sneaking in."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue immediately stood up and then glanced at Ye Mohan.
Ye Mohan understood immediately and handed her his laptop, which he was using for work.
Jian Yixue took it and immediately started operating it. Her fair fingers flew across the screen.
Those present, including Dongfang Tinglan, were all shocked to see Jian Yixue's skill for the first time, especially Dongfang Yi and the others who were seeing it for the first time.
Although Dongfang Tinglan and Gong Beize had heard in E Country that Jian Yixue was very skilled in computer technology and was a hacker, seeing it with their own eyes was still quite impactful.
Of those present, only Ye Mohan remained relatively calm about it.
After all, he already knew that Jian Yixue was "Mian," the number one hacker in The Matrix.
Jian Yixue had no idea what the people present were thinking. At this moment, she desperately wanted to know if the person who appeared at Yan Yuan's villa was her Lemon.
She was very worried and anxious. They had been separated for almost two days, and she didn't know if Lemon had been drinking milk well or crying during that time.
Compared to Lemon and Cola, Lemon has higher needs and requires more care; I wonder if they've taken good care of her.
With this in mind, Jian Yixue sped up.
Before long, Jian Yixue saw the scene Ye Yi had described, and seeing the same bag, Jian Yixue felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Jian Yixue looked at Ye Mohan and said, "Those are lemons! They really are lemons, and the package we bought together was wrapped in lemons."
What Jian Yixue saw, Ye Mohan, who was standing next to her, naturally saw as well.
Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan frowned and nodded.
During the day Lemon was kidnapped, he went to the neonatal ward for a checkup, and it was this swaddle blanket that he saw.
But... Ye Mohan suddenly thought of something, his expression becoming somewhat obscure.
But looking at the anxious Jian Yixue in front of him, Ye Mohan did not say anything.
These past two days have been unforgettable for him and Xue.
It is said that mothers are strong, but children are the apple of their parents' eyes. His wife is worried and anxious about what his daughter has suffered, and he feels terrible.
In front of her parents, Xue'er was always very strong. Only in front of him was she the little woman who needed to be pampered and cared for, and she only showed her vulnerable side to him.
Ye Mohan said, "Don't worry, Xue'er. Since they brought lemons all the way from the capital without harming them, they must have their reasons."
You can trust me, it won't be long before they contact us and state their desired terms.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue thought for a moment, nodded, and forced herself to wait patiently.
Seeing this, Dongfang Tinglan suddenly thought of something and said, "Xue'er, Mo Han, don't you think that they might be doing this because of me?"
After saying that, Dongfang Tinglan looked at the two of them with eyes full of guilt.
Jian Yixue turned her head and frowned, "Mom means they might be after the Shennong Token?"
Dongfang Tinglan nodded and said, "Yes, the Shennong Token is the only token that can command the Shennong Pavilion, just like the emperor's jade seal. Without it, Qu Rui, sitting in the position of Pavilion Master, would not be able to command the crowd. Although it's not a big deal normally, she would not be able to command the Elders' Council when it comes to major decisions."
Ding Yi listened from the side and nodded, saying, "Yes, in recent years the Elders' Pavilion has not obeyed her orders, so she supported the Second Elder Jiang Lie and made the inner and outer protectors work for her own purposes."
