In truth, Mo Youcan had never before associated Lei Ming and An Tingyu together. As far as he knew, they had never met before, and An Tingyu had never been to Yuyan Country. However, the timing of this encounter was too coincidental, so he suddenly thought of a possibility: Lei Ming might be a disciple of the Netherworld Palace. This would make sense for Lei Ming's current actions.
"Miss An is here? Really?" Lei Ming looked surprised and evaded the question, "Where is she now? I haven't yet fully repaid Mr. An's kindness. Last time we ran into each other on the street, Miss An had other plans. I wonder how long she plans to stay in Yuyan Country this time."
Hearing this, Mo Youcan frowned slightly and thought, doesn't Lei Ming know that An Tingyu has arrived in Yuyan Country?
Did he guess wrong?
But how could such a coincidence happen?
Mo Youcan stared at Lei Ming closely, his dark, deep eyes gleaming with a sharp light. "Mr. Lei, do you really not know that Miss An is in Yuyan Country?"
Lei Ming curled his lips lazily and said lightly, "I don't know, I don't know. Although I don't know why Prince Can regards me as a disciple of the Nether Palace, Prince Can, even if I am, so what? Not to mention that I am not! To be honest, how could you have such a ridiculous idea? Do I look like a servant who obeys orders obediently?"
Mo Youcan pursed his lips. After hearing what Lei Ming said, it seemed to make sense. Could it be that he really made a mistake this time?
Mo Youcan was confused. He was initially certain about something, but now he was no longer certain. However, he still said, "Whether it's true or not, my main purpose today is to understand why Mr. Lei suddenly decided to leave."
"Mr. Lei," Mo Youcan called out indifferently, his voice gentle but icy. "You are a great imperial merchant of Yuyan. Your sudden departure is not a big deal, but it has a huge impact on our royal family. Don't you know that with your departure, our entire royal family's supplies will be reduced by half? For this reason alone, my king can condemn you. So, Mr. Lei, please reconsider carefully. If Mr. Lei can continue to stay in Yuyan, my king will forgive this matter."
Lei Ming snorted coldly, "Are you being threatened? But I'm just a businessman. Don't businessmen have freedom? Do I need other people's consent to do business? What are the rules? Are the royal family of Yuyan Kingdom really so overbearing?"
"Mr. Lei, it's not that the royal family of our Yuyan Kingdom is so overbearing, but your sudden departure has had a great impact on us. You can't deny this, right?"
Hearing this, Lei Ming finally softened his tone, "Alright! What the disabled prince said is not unreasonable, so I will reconsider it!"
"By the way, you haven't told me where Miss An is now!" Lei Ming said again.
"You really don't know?" Mo Youcan still had some doubts.
Lei Ming raised his eyebrows lazily and asked indifferently, "If I knew, would I need to ask you?"
"Alright! Then just treat it as my nonsense, saying things I shouldn't have said. Miss An and the others are now at the Yingfeng Inn."
"They? Who else is there besides Miss An?" Lei Ming asked.
"There's also Prince Jing and their son Xi'er. Of course, I don't need to mention the subordinates they bring with them, right?"
Lei Ming raised his eyebrows and said bluntly, "Are you talking nonsense?"
Mo Youcan glanced at him coldly, then ignored Lei Ming's words and said, "Then Mr. Lei, please think about it carefully. I will leave first."
"My Lord, take care. Someone, show him away!"
After Mo Youcan left, Lei Ming curled his lips and whispered softly, "What a smart man, but what a pity! There is a woman who is smarter than him."
If An Tingyu had not guessed long ago that the Eastern Emperor would send someone, and guessed that this person might be Mo Youcan, and secretly thought that Mo Youcan might guess his identity, and therefore thought about how to deal with it, then Mo Youcan would probably have known by now that he was a disciple of the Netherworld Palace.
"Master, it seems that everything is just as Miss An thought. The Eastern Emperor will not let people go so easily!" At this time, Butler Lu who was standing nearby said.
Although Butler Lu is a butler, he is actually a disciple of the Nether Palace, Lei Ming's personal attendant, and one of the people in charge of Lei Ming's business.
Hearing this, Lei Ming raised his lips, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, "That's right, this is the first time I've seen such a smart woman!"
Housekeeper Lu nodded, "Yes! I thought the nineteenth generation was already very smart, but I didn't expect Miss An to be so smart too. She really deserves to be called Master An..."
As if he knew what he was going to say next, Lei Ming suddenly shouted, "Butler Lu!"
The sudden cold shout startled Steward Lu for a moment, then he realized he had almost said something he shouldn't have, so he quickly said, "Master, I've spoken too much. It's my fault."
Lei Ming gave him a cold look and said, "It's okay if you're wrong, but don't hurt that person."
"Yes, I will be careful with my words and actions in the future." Butler Lu bowed his head and said respectfully.
In the Yingfeng Inn, Jing Aotian sat opposite An Tingyu. He looked at An Tingyu and said, "Yu'er, Lei Ming's matter has been almost dealt with. I believe Lei Ming can also handle what to do next. Should we go to the Nineteenth Villa first?"
The Nineteenth Villa is not very peaceful now. Knowing that An Tingyu has always been concerned about Grandpa An and An Donglin, Jing Aotian made a suggestion.
An Tingyu shook her head. "No, let's wait a little longer! At least we need to know the person behind this. Otherwise, Lei Ming will also be worried about his safety. After all, he is injured now. If the enemy attacks again, how can Lei Ming resist?"
