Ye Ningwan took the teapot from the maid's hand, placed it aside, and said with a smile.
"Don't be nervous, I'll just ask you one question."
The maid asked tremblingly.
"Wha...what problem...please...please just say it..."
Ye Ningwan patted her shoulder with a smile, almost causing the maid to collapse to the ground.
Then I heard Ye Ningwan say.
"Don't be afraid, I just want to ask, from which part of the entire manor can you clearly see the direction of the main gate?"
Hearing this, the maid breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously pointed to the building directly opposite the garden, saying to Ye Ningwan.
"The room on the other side of this building, roughly in the middle of the fourth floor."
Ye Ningwan smiled and walked quickly toward the building.
...
At this moment, a large iron gate at the entrance of the manor blocked a dark blue Maybach.
The large iron gate was tightly closed, with only the small door open. A security guard hurried out and walked towards the dark blue Maybach, knocking on the window.
The car window rolled down.
The security guard said to Ye Zhenning, who was sitting inside.
"Chairman Ye, Miss Ye says she doesn't know you. You should go back."
Ye Zhenning stared incredulously at the security guard blocking the car.
"What did you say? Ye Ningwan says she doesn't know me? She's the one who called me here! Make her come out and see me!"
The security guard frowned as he looked at Ye Zhenning, who had suddenly become agitated. He placed his hand on his waist and looked warily at the aggressive Ye Zhenning inside the car.
He gave Ye Zhenning a stern warning.
"Chairman Ye, since Miss Ye says she doesn't know you, whether she really doesn't know you or she's just saying it casually, she doesn't want to see you. There's no need for her to humiliate herself here."
Ye Zhenning had never been warned like this by a mere security guard before, and he was immediately enraged.
He gripped the car window with one hand and rudely berated the security guard.
"Who do you think you are, daring to talk to me like that!"
The security guard immediately frowned and coldly addressed Ye Zhenning.
"Ye Zhenning, what do you think this place is?! This is Mr. Li's manor. If you don't want to die, get out of here right now!"
Ye Zhenning's face was extremely ugly. He gripped the car window tightly, his knuckles turning white, his teeth grinding together, and he glared at the security guard with burning anger.
However, since this was Li Mochuan's territory, Ye Zhenning dared not act rashly and could only suppress his anger and swallow all his emotions.
Ye Zhenning could endure it, but Ye Yongchen couldn't.
He was still young and didn't have the same level of patience as Ye Zhenning, so he finally couldn't bear it any longer and pushed open the car door.
He jumped out of the car, stormed up to the security guard, grabbed him by the collar, shoved him into the car, and roared.
"Are you Mr. Li? Don't try to act like you're above everyone else. Who do you think you are? Believe me or not..."
Ye Zhenning knew something was wrong the moment he saw Ye Yongchen rush out of the car. He quickly got out of the car and stopped Ye Yongchen just before he could make a move.
"Yongchen, stop!"
Ye Zhenning grabbed Ye Yongchen's hand and pulled him back forcefully, thus stopping Ye Yongchen.
The security guard released his hand from his lower back to retrieve his weapon and straightened his uniform.
At that moment, a voice came through the security guard's left earpiece.
The security guard pressed his left earpiece, glared coldly at the aggressive Ye Yongchen, and angrily reprimanded him.
"Ye Zhenning, Ye Yongchen, you have one minute to leave here, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
The Ye family father and son were also full of resentment, but who would dare to run wild on Li Mochuan's territory? That would be suicidal!
Ye Zhenning could only swallow all his anger and forced a polite smile at the security guard.
"Okay, let's leave right away!"
Ye Zhenning practically squeezed the word "leave" out through gritted teeth, his tone laced with a hint of bitterness.
The security guard stood there motionless, staring warily at the Ye family father and son. Almost simultaneously, the side gate of the manor opened, and a group of people rushed out and stood behind the security guard, glaring menacingly at the Ye family father and son.
Ye Zhenning grabbed Ye Yongchen, who was still about to explode, and shoved him into the car. He then quickly got in himself and hurriedly told the driver to start the car.
The driver started the engine, stepped on the gas, and the car shot off like an arrow.
Inside the manor, in a room on the fourth floor of the building directly opposite the main gate, Ye Ningwan lay on the balcony, holding a monocular telescope, squinting as she took in everything that was happening at the manor gate.
Ye Ningwan only put down her binoculars after the car had driven away from the manor gate.
Behind me, a tall man in a black suit appeared out of nowhere.
Ye Ningwan turned her head and met someone she didn't expect.
She was taken aback.
"You? What are you doing here?"
Seeing Ye Ningwan's astonished expression, Li Mochuan couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle, magnetic yet gentle.
"Why are you so surprised? Didn't you say that this manor is all mine? Where can't I go?"
Ye Ningwan's surprise quickly disappeared, and she returned to normal. Although she was prepared, she was still wary of Li Mochuan, since he was secretly investigating the jade pendant with two dragons on her.
Moreover, this is a very dangerous man.
She smiled and stepped aside.
"Mr. Li suddenly standing behind me would startle anyone."
Li Mochuan raised an eyebrow.
"So it's my fault then?"
Ye Ningwan shrugged noncommittally.
"If Mr. Li wants to apologize to me, I have no objection."
Li Mochuan chuckled and didn't take it to heart.
His gaze fell on the monocular telescope in Ye Ningwan's hand.
"What? Is the show good?"
Ye Ningwan said with a smile.
"Do you think Mr. Li wouldn't know whether the show is good or not? This is your place. Is there anything in the entire manor that you don't know?"
Li Mochuan smiled but remained silent for a long while before speaking.
"You're welcome."
Ye Ningwan smiled and spoke politely to Li Mochuan.
"Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Li from now on."
After she finished speaking, she walked past Li Mochuan and headed straight outside.
Just as she and Li Mochuan were about to pass each other by, Li Mochuan suddenly reached out and grabbed Ye Ningwan's arm, pulling her back forcefully.
"Ye Ningwan..."
Ye Ningwan staggered a few steps, and only managed to stand up after holding onto the balcony railing. She looked up and smiled at Li Mochuan.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else you need, Mr. Li?"
Li Mochuan gazed at Ye Ningwan quietly, his smile gradually fading, though his eyes held a hint of scrutiny.
