"Say what?" Ding Yiyi was curious.

Ye Shuimo didn't dare to say anything else, so she could only excuse herself. Not long after Ye Miao came back, they chatted for a while before Ye Shuimo finally dared to tell them about Zou Loong.

Ye Miao did not say anything as he paced back and forth in front of his desk, more and more things revealing themselves. All the indicators were pointed towards Ye Family, and now even Grandpa Xu was involved.

If his grandfather didn't let him involve himself with these matters, would he have already guessed that all of this would happen? What kind of fog was there that he couldn't see?

Shimingtian's anniversary banquet was held at a five-star hotel in City L. In order to figure out what was going on behind the scenes, Ye Shuimo came here to join in the fun with the determination to fail.

The silver white sportscar unhurriedly drove along the road. She wore a light purple, irregular hanging belt dress that extended all the way to her ankles, revealing her calves below her knees. The body of her skirt, the irregular hem of her skirt, and a pair of deep purple high heels stretched out her vision, causing Su Ye to look both tall and slim.

She wore a white fur cape over her shoulders, and her long black hair was tied up with a purple diamond hairpin. The faint makeup on her face made her look both noble and coquettish. However, she was sitting in the car, reading a book.

Ye Miao looked at her with his hands behind his face. He saw a strand of black hair fall onto her shoulder. The person who was reading subconsciously hooked his messy hair behind his ear. A few minutes later, that mischievous hair sneaked out again.

He twirled his mischievous hair and helped her to straighten her messy hair. He rubbed his index finger along the small outline of her ear, neither light nor heavy.

"Director Ye, here we are." The driver said.

Ye Miao let go of the book regretfully and changed it to holding Ye Shuimo's hand instead. He took the book away with one hand and said, "I'll read it when I get back."

The two of them walked into the banquet hall. Zou Shiming, who was talking to someone else, immediately left the others and walked over quickly.

"Mr Ye, it's rare to see you here."

"Congratulations." Wu Tie gently wrapped his arms around Ye Shuimo's waist and chatted with Zou Shiming at a moderate pace.

Ye Shuimo saw that the woman beside Zou Shiming was slightly fat, but there were always three shrewd smiles in her eyes, secretly wondering if this was Zou Loong's mother.

There was always a lot of greetings between merchants. Ye Shuimo didn't like it and felt bored, so Ye Miao helped her get some pastry drinks to eat at the side.

When she saw that the terrace was empty, she took her plate with her and ran to it. The terrace was cold, but it was like receiving all the random greetings.

The balcony corresponded to the hotel's backyard. When she heard the cat meowing, she looked down and coincidentally saw Zou Loong. He was squatting on the ground, as if he didn't care about the destruction of his suit.

Ye Shuimo narrowed her eyes and looked carefully. She found a plate of salmon in front of the kitten, Zou Loong didn't care about the people coming and going, he just squatted there and watched the cat eat. After the cat finished eating the salmon, he threw the plate into the trash can and left.

That was weird. If the video didn't come out from his personal page, it would be hard for Ye Shuimo to imagine that such a person would be an animal abusive villain who would one day feed cats.

"Shuimo."

Ye Miao came over with a serious expression, "Chairman Wang Ji is in trouble."

The two of them abandoned the banquet and ran towards the senior nursing home. The other side's son had arrived, so he was obviously in a bad mood. He also recognized Ye Miao, so he was still quite polite.

"My dad's health has always been bad, and he's been going over and over again this year. I didn't expect him to still go."

"My condolences."

Ye Miao said. He looked inside the door and vaguely saw a human figure wrapped in white cloth. He retracted his gaze and nodded towards the man before leaving with Ye Shuimo.

"How do you know Chairman Wang is going to die?"

"He called me."

Ye Shuimo was startled. "When?"

"Forty minutes ago."

The two of them looked at each other. One was an old man who was in a bad condition and on the verge of death, why would he call two people that they weren't familiar with? They had only met once.

Coincidentally, when they arrived, they had already died due to a disease. This was too aggressive.

They returned to the banquet site and pretended that nothing had happened, but it was obvious that their minds were unable to calm down.

The lights at the scene suddenly dimmed, and a circle of light lit up on the stage. Zou Shiming went up on stage, obviously in high spirits, and everyone gradually moved towards him.

Ye Shuimo went to the washroom and met Zou Loong, who was leaning against the wall. He was obviously waiting for her.

"That old man is dead, right?"

"How did you know?"

Zou Loong raised his glasses. "I heard it."

These words were even weirder than the phone calls she received before she died. She was afraid and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she hurried towards the banquet hall, unconsciously speeding up her pace.

She almost cried out as she turned the corner and was gripped by the wrist.

"What's wrong? What happened? "

Ye Miao came out to look for her when he noticed that she wasn't there.

Ye Shuimo's weird words were still ringing in her ears. She suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "I think that's not right. Let's go back to the residential care center."

The two of them returned to the residential care home. The old man's door was open and the bed was empty. A nurse was putting down the bed sheets.

Ye Shuimo swept her eyes over the furnishings of the room. Previously, when they had arrived, the room had been filled with oil paintings, a piano, and a small golf course. Now, all of these things had been taken away.

After a person dies, is there a need to be so anxious about moving things? Ye Miao understood, he also noticed that all the furnishings in the room had changed.

"Who are you?" The head nurse said as she passed by.

"We want to visit the old man who lives here." Ye Miao lied calmly.

"What old man? This ward has always been empty." The head nurse glared at the nurse, who quickly tidied up the bed, and a piece of paper fell out.

Ye Shuimo noticed that there seemed to be something on the back of the paper. She stepped forward, placed one foot on the paper and said, "How could that be? I heard he was the former chairman of Wang's company, and we were distant relatives. "

"No such person. Sorry, our visiting time is up." The head nurse showed no mercy as she stood there with her eyes wide open, waiting for them to leave.

Ye Shuimo was anxious. Since the other party was staring at her, she couldn't bend down to pick up the item. Just when she was so anxious that the head nurse could turn around, Ye Miao opened his mouth.

"Call your dean over."

The head nurse was surprised for a moment, then looked at the man in front of her again, and asked hesitantly, "You are?"

"Call him. He knows who I am." Ye Miao said in a cold tone, "I have never had much patience, don't ask me to say it again."

The head nurse hesitated. Seeing the man frown, she quickly turned around and called for the dean. She didn't want to offend this man.

Ye Miao turned his head, "Still not picking it up?"

When the two of them came out of the nursing home, Ye Shuimo asked while she got into the car to fasten her seat belt, "Do you know the principal of this nursing home?"

Ye Miao said, "I don't know him."

As he drove out of the nursing home, Ye Shuimo pulled out a slip of paper that had flown from the mattress.

The slip of paper looked like it had been casually torn off. There were some random lines drawn on it using a water pen. Since it was only half-drawn, it was impossible to tell what was on it just by looking at the lines.1

Ye Miao also saw that if the old man's death was not taken into consideration, this would just be a normal piece of paper with graffiti on it.

Ye Shuimo didn't think it was that simple. Just the old man calling them before he died, the head nurse lying, and Zou Loong's words that she didn't understand.

It was already very late when they returned to the hotel. They couldn't go back to Dongjiang City today, so tomorrow was also the weekend off. The two of them decided to spend the night in the hotel they had set.

While Ye Miao was showering, Ye Shuimo received a text message from Zou Loong with only one sentence:

"Leave, pretend you don't know anything."

She immediately texted back, "What are you talking about? Do you know something? "

After a long while, he finally replied, "Nanyang Street, 18, come by yourself. I'll tell you once you get here."

The water in the bathroom was flowing unceasingly, the phone in his palm was like a hot potato, the thought of going became more and more obvious. She used her phone to search the map. Nanyang Street was just around the hotel, and it would only take ten minutes by taxi to get there. It wouldn't take long for her to travel back and forth.

She lied and said that she wanted to walk near the hotel. Ye Miao didn't doubt her. He only told her to be careful and to bring her phone with her at all times.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, she ran like crazy. She caught a taxi and rushed towards Nanyang Street. The taxi sped up even more than she had expected.

Nanyang Street was a romantic street that was a feature of downtown L. The style of the buildings inside were mostly the style of the high-class stores. Due to the cold weather, there weren't many people on the street.

Seeing that it was a big street, she was relieved. She called Zou Loong's cell phone, but it was immediately switched off. Soon, a message was sent: "There's a small box at the store near the door. It's a gift for you."

She turned around to see a black box placed in front of a closed shop. As she got closer she saw that it was a shoe box. She opened the box and after seeing what was inside, her heart almost jumped out.

Inside the shoe box was a dead little milk hair. She didn't even have the time to look at the little milk hair, her mind was filled with wide-eyed cats and grey fur.

After retching, she did not dare to look at the contents of the box again. She called back, trembling, ready to curse Zou Loong. If she caught him and beat him up, she should not have saved him and let him be beaten to death.

The other party's phone was already turned off. Everything was like a prank.

As soon as she returned to the hotel, she bumped into Ye Miao, who was about to leave, and said, "The son of Chairman Wang Ji just called. He wants us to go to Mr. Wang's funeral."

Ye Shuimo's face was still pale. She nodded and without taking off her clothes, she snuggled into his embrace. "Just now when I was strolling around the hotel, I was frightened by a wild cat."

Ye Miao smiled and hugged her, "Coward. Take me wherever you want to go next. I won't need to be afraid anymore."

"Right." Hugging him tightly, Ye Zichen scolded that bastard Zou Loong a million times in his heart.

The moment the old man died, he immediately went to conduct the funeral. The funeral was held in the local cemetery and was the biggest event in the electrical industry. Even today, the local newspaper had only used a few sentences to write it down.
