Jiang Jin softly said, “Remember not to let your guard down. Our enemy is hidden while we’re out in the open. We have to be extra careful. We don’t know their objectives for now. Is it the Mu family? Zhuang Ji? The company? Do they want everything?”

Mu Chen held Jiang Jin’s frail hand and said, “Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll definitely protect our family and Zhuang Ji. Grandma, you must take care of your health. The baby and I need you…”

Jiang Jin placed her hand on the back of Mu Chen’s hand and said, “I know what to do. I’ll definitely wait for Song Ning to return so our family can continue to live happily…”

Mu Chen nodded; his heart felt incomparably heavy.

…

Chen Chen stood in front of Ye Cheng solemnly as he said, “Young Master, Young Miss seems to have vanished into thin air…”

Ye Cheng leaned against the car seat. One of his arms rested on the armrest as he twirled a string of red sandalwood beads in his hand. A disdainful expression could be seen on his face as he said, “With that brain of hers, do you think she’s capable of such a feat?”

Chen Chen remained silent.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Cheng asked, “Did you investigate Ning Zhe?”

Chen Chen replied, “I did. I’ve been closely monitoring Ning Zhe’s house and company. His movements are all under our surveillance. However, there’s no indication that the Young Miss’ disappearance has anything to do with him. Recently, he’s been focusing on Zhuang Ji, trying to find ways to work with Zhuang Ji through various channels. Ning Dong and Ji An are still very close. He had given Ji An a lot of money recently to recruit people. He’s trying to form a team of his own…”

Ye Cheng continued twirling the beads in his hand. “Who else could it be? Since she dared to leave, it means that someone was waiting for her. When did that person approach her? What exactly does he want her to do?”

Beads of sweat appeared on Chen Chen’s head as he listened to Ye Cheng. After a moment, he said, “Young Master, perhaps, Young Miss is just unhappy. Who knows maybe she’ll return after her anger subsides?”

Ye Cheng scoffed. “Chen Chen, don’t you think you’re too naive? Do you think she’ll quietly leave when she’s unhappy? If she’s unhappy, she’s the type to make the entire world unhappy as well. Since there’s no movement now, it only means that something big is looming up ahead. We must take precautions. We can’t allow any negative news about her to leak.”

Chen Chen hurriedly nodded. However, he really did not know where he could find that Young Miss who had never acted according to common sense.

At this time, Ye Cheng’s phone rang.

Ye Cheng answered the call. Despite the frown on his face, his voice was exceptionally gentle as he said, “Tingting, what’s the matter?”

Fu Ting replied in a tone that brooked no arguments, “Ye Cheng, come and pick me up. I’ll send you the address.”

“Okay,” Ye Cheng replied without any hesitation,

After the call ended, a notification rang from his phone.

Ye Cheng took a look and gave the address to Chen Chen.

Chen Chen wordlessly started the car while the knuckles of Ye Cheng’s hand that was holding onto the phone were white. He gritted his teeth silently as he wondered to himself, ‘Since when did I become her chauffeur and bodyguard who’s at her beck and call? Why? Just because her father is the Vice Mayor?’

Ye Cheng smiled bitterly. It seemed like sometimes servility could subtly happen.

At any rate, he was still the Young Master of the Ye family; he was the only heir. Once upon a time, he was a son of a prominent family like Mu Chen, arrogant and domineering. Now, Mu Chen was still arrogant and domineering, but what about him? Just for his political career, he was tied down by that woman and became subservient to her. How could he endure being ordered around?

Chen Chen studied Ye Cheng’s expression before he said, “Young Master, Ms. Fu isn’t taking you seriously…”

Ye Cheng smiled wryly.. Even Chen Chen could not stand to watch the way Fu Ting treated him.
