Chapter 1006: Chapter 1006: Wrecking Scum, Ye Zhenmian's Family Came to Look for Her (2)

Yu Xiheng took it, nodding in agreement. “Alright.”

After a brief pause, he asked, “Did you run into any members of the Yu family just now?”

“Yeah, I did, but I ignored them,” Si Fuqing said, shrugging as she took out two pairs of chopsticks. “Anyone who’s not nice to you, I don’t like either.”

Yu Xiheng’s hand paused, and he suddenly smiled. “Mhmm, don’t bother with them.”

“Eat, eat,” Si Fuqing urged, resting her chin on her hand, her fox-like eyes shining brightly. “I’ve already eaten, so you should have a good meal.”

This time, it was Yu Xiheng who looked away first, his gaze deepening as he sighed softly in his heart.

How could he not be moved when she looked at him like that?

He lowered his head and picked up a vegetable bun, raising his eyebrows slightly.

He might as well believe what a certain bald man said.

If it were true, Guanghua Temple’s incense would never be extinguished.

Si Fuqing handed him a cup of soy milk. “Don’t just eat the buns; drink some soy milk too, or you’ll choke.”

Yu Xiheng responded, “Okay.”

Shen Ying, observing this, remained silent.

He deeply suspected that his Brother Nine didn’t have hands in front of Miss Si.

Meanwhile, in An City.

After the tenth number was blocked by Ye Zhenmian, Ye Huai’an threw his phone in frustration.

Father Ye frowned. “What’s wrong? Still can’t get through?”

“Dad, my sister is doing incredibly well now. Why would she contact us?” Ye Huai’an’s expression was dark. “Her restaurant alone brings in hundreds of thousands every month, and that niece she found is a big star in the entertainment industry. I heard she makes billions for a single TV series! We need to find a way to get half of that money; we can’t let her have it all!”

Father Ye, who had never heard of such large sums, gasped in shock.

He had raised Ye Zhenmian for so long, expecting her to earn money for the Ye family.

Now, they could only watch as Ye Zhenmian’s life improved while their own situation worsened.

“Grandpa, you have no idea. Especially that niece of Ye Zhenmian’s, she’s NINE the God!” Ye Yuan chimed in, matter-of-factly. “She’s the top player in the Oracle. She must know important people in the Oracle. If she gets me some good equipment and helps me participate in next year’s OPL, I’ll be famous worldwide too.”

Didn’t Nian Yi’an gain fame by holding onto a powerful ally?

If Si Fuqing helped him, he could do the same.

Just the thought of standing on the OPL stage made Ye Yuan excited.

Father Ye hesitated. “But those people last time…”

He still didn’t know Xiao Wenjian’s identity but knew that the middle-aged man was not to be messed with.

If they went to find Ye Zhenmian again and the news got out, what if that man came after them again?

“Dad, it’s not that coincidental,” Ye Huai’an laughed. “We’ll just go when there are lots of people around. Do you think they’d really dare to throw us out?”

Si Fuqing is a big star. Any scandal would be magnified in the entertainment industry.

Father Ye nodded. “Alright, we’ll take the car there now.”

With Father Ye’s decision, Ye Huai’an and Ye Yuan were both excited and followed closely behind him, along with Mother Ye.

Before they reached the bus stop, they were blocked by someone.

“Please wait a moment,” said a young man with a slight smile. “My mother has something to ask you.”

Ye Huaian was taken aback but felt a surge of happiness when he saw the young man’s refined demeanor and expensive clothing. “Sure, no problem!”

He was sure they had encountered some wealthy family, and maybe they could make some money from this.

The young man just smiled.

Soon, another group arrived.

Leading them was a woman who looked to be in her thirties but exuded a sharp, authoritative presence.

She stood before Father Ye and spoke coldly before he could say anything, “Forty-two years ago, did you pick up a baby girl at the Nanling ferry?”

This question was like a bucket of cold water dousing Father Ye’s thoughts of making money. His expression changed drastically. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. When did I ever pick up a baby girl? In our place, baby girls are strangled at birth. Raising them is a waste of money!”@@novelbin@@

“Don’t know?” The woman sneered. “Don’t you know if a child is yours? Did you think that just because communication and transportation weren’t advanced back then, you could hide everything? Ye Wu!”

“Yes!” The chief guard stepped forward and immediately twisted Father Ye’s arms behind his back.

With a “crack,” the sound of bones misaligning was heard.

Father Ye cried out in pain, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. “What are you doing? Is there no law?”

“Law?” The woman nodded. “Indeed, we don’t adhere to such things here. You’d better confess everything; maybe I’ll spare your life.”

Father Ye opened his mouth, about to claim ignorance, when a cold object pressed against his forehead.

Ye Huai’an was also restrained, scared out of his wits and collapsing to the ground. “Dad! Dad, what did you do? Tell them!”

“Fine, you don’t need to speak; I’ve already found out.” The woman laughed, not out of anger. “I know exactly what you did. Still dreaming of leeching off my sister? Dream on!”

With a gun to his head, Father Ye couldn’t utter a word.

His eyes widened, unable to understand what the woman was talking about.

“Miss,” a guard approached. “Butler Ye has gone to pick-up your sister as you instructed.”

The woman finally smiled and nodded. “Good. I’ll finish up here and head over.”

She released her grip on Father Ye’s throat, her fingers trembling slightly, bending in an irregular manner.

The chief guard was worried. “Miss, your hand…”

The woman replied calmly, “It’s usable. Nothing serious. Take these people away and make them kneel to apologize to Zhenmian.”

Meanwhile, at the Tinan Restaurant.

At three-thirty in the afternoon, there weren’t many people in the restaurant.

Ye Zhenmian sat down to rest, taking out the tablet Si Fuqing had bought her to study.

She knew she wasn’t an evolved being and lacked in martial prowess, so she compensated in other ways, trying not to drag down In Yaonian.

The restaurant door chimed, “Welcome,” as someone entered. Ye Zhenmian was about to stand and greet the guest when she felt an overwhelming presence.

Frowning, she didn’t show any fear but looked up calmly.

Despite not being an evolved being, she could sense the power fluctuations of others.

“Are you Ye Zhenmian?” The middle-aged man scanned her up and down. “We’ve been looking for you for a long time. You’re the posthumous daughter of Mr. Ye Qianyu, taken in by Ye Huai’an’s family just to support him. You didn’t know that, did you?”

How could a member of the Ye family run a restaurant in such a shabby place?

Being a chef, exposed to grease and smoke daily, was a disgrace to the Ye family.

Ye Zhenmian was taken aback, her frown deepening. “What are you talking about?”

“Miss Ye, come with us,” the middle-aged man said, not offering further explanation. “You won’t have to live this poor life anymore.”

Who would have thought the descendant of the Ye family’s only Class-A evolved being was just an ordinary person without the evolved bloodline?

But the Ye family couldn’t let their bloodline be lost. They could afford to support an ordinary person.

Interrupting Ye Zhenmian’s next question, the middle-aged man continued, “By the way, Miss Ye, there’s no need to bring your husband and son.”

Since they weren’t evolved beings, they were of no use.
