This long night is far from over.

After returning to the Li family mansion, Mr. Li immediately called Uncle Li Yin to the study.

As soon as the door was closed, Mr. Li smashed a set of ornaments fiercely: "Look at your sister and your nephew, are they going to rebel?! They dared to attack me!"

Uncle Li Yin silently bent down to pack up his things, letting him vent his anger, and then said: "Li Yin is still young, just teach her slowly. As for Xiaozhi, even rabbits will bite when they are angry. Mr. Li, please understand, considering that she has never disobeyed you in all these years, not to mention..."

Then he changed the subject: "Like I said in the car, this may not be a bad thing."

"You mean to let Li Yin build a good relationship with that little bastard from the Ye family?" Mr. Li put his hands on his hips and glanced at him, saying coldly, "Will it really work?"

"Mr. Li is a member of this circle himself, so he must know how important connections are."

Uncle Li Yin brought a trash can from the corner, squatted down and began to throw the fragments into the can one by one. "And I observed today that Miss Ye San was born to be a leader. Although she may not be deliberate, some people in this world have innate temperaments and can attract all those who share the same ideals as her or are full of admiration for her like a star. Miss Ye San is such a person."

The fragments made a crisp sound in the trash can. He thought for a moment and said, "Oh, yes, just like Master Wen when he was young."

"She's a yellow-haired girl with nothing but courage. How can she be as powerful as you say?"

Mr. Li frowned uncomfortably, and then he exhaled after a moment: "Forget it, looking at what happened today, that group of young people are indeed centered around her. If Li Yin can really become friends with them all, it would indeed be a good thing."

After cleaning up all the pieces, the man stood up and really got to the point: "But what I want to talk about today is something else."

Mr. Li turned to look at him: "What?"

·

Ye Kong sat in the studio with only a small light on.

The evening breeze and starlight poured in from the huge window. Her pupils took on an extremely clear and cold tone at the intersection of the starlight and the lights.

Ye Haichuan walked in quietly, intending to scare her, but when he got closer he was frightened by the almost gloomy expression on the girl's face.

Sensing another person approaching, the girl rolled her eyes and looked at him.

The dark pupils were like a pool of night water, extremely cold and inanimate, staring at him as if he were a stranger - but within two seconds, she returned to her normal expression, looked at him strangely and asked, "What's wrong?"

"...I'd rather ask you what you're thinking about." Ye Haichuan said.

"Well, I was thinking..." She turned her head back, her thoughts scattered for a few seconds, and then said irrelevantly, "Do you know much about Li Yin's uncle?"

"Him?" Ye Haichuan was curious about this topic, but he still said, "I don't know much about him. Didn't he go abroad for several years? But... before he went abroad, he was quite famous in Yuzhou. He was a man with a sharp mind and decisive actions. But I don't know why, in the past few years since he went abroad, I haven't heard of any achievements he has made."

"Of course there will be no results, because he has never been abroad." Ye Kong raised the corner of his mouth, smiling maliciously.

Ye Haichuan was stunned for a moment: "How do you know?"

"Because I've seen him, and if he's really as smart as you say, then I think..." Ye Kong looked out the window and tilted his head, "He should have already set his sights on me."

·

"What do you want to say?"

In the Li family's study, Li Xuelai looked at his brother-in-law strangely.

The man spoke slowly, "I wanted to say that I seem to have seen Miss Ye San before."

"What? How did you meet her?" Mr. Li frowned and asked, "She just came to Yuzhou not long ago, and you have been there for so many years, where can you meet her?"

"Yes." The man slowly sat down on the sofa with an unchanged smile on his face. "I have been in prison for so many years. It is impossible that I met the rich girl in prison. The only possibility is that I met her before I went in... But before I went in, she had never appeared in Yuzhou's upper class circles. We didn't even know that there was such a person in the Ye family..."

"What do you want to say?" Mr. Li frowned impatiently, "It's not in prison, nor in Yuzhou, you..."

As if he thought of something, he stopped talking and looked up at the opposite side.

"I heard," but the man did not give an answer to his question. Instead, he changed his topic and said, "The innocent young master Wen personally acknowledged his fiancée on the first day he met Miss Ye San. According to my recent investigation, he had never expressed his approval of the engagement before, and he had always ignored Ye Baozhu."

"Why would such a person so readily and even happily accept Miss Ye San as his fiancée on the first day she returned home?"

The man said in an orderly manner: "Love at first sight, that's unlikely, right? The only possibility is that they knew each other before? Or have they met before?"

Mr. Li, who just thought he had figured it out, showed a puzzled expression again: "Didn't I say where you met Ye Kong? How come it became Wen Can who met Ye Kong?"

"Yes, I think I have met Miss Ye San, and I guess Master Wen also knows Miss Ye San——"

The man raised his eyes under the cold white light in the room, his gaze as sharp as a beast seeing flesh and blood: "Before I went to prison, the only thing in common with Master Wen was probably that we had been to the same place, and quite a few times."

He smiled and said, "Mr. Li, have you forgotten? Young Master Wen's remarkable mother was born and raised in Huahe. His grandfather still lives in Huahe today."

"..."

Li Xuelai's pupils suddenly shrank: "What do you mean?"

Uncle Li Yin continued slowly, "What I mean is that we'd better send someone to Huahe now to investigate it carefully."

"Investigation direction?"

"Miss Ye San, have you ever lived in a welfare home or orphanage in Huahe?"

The man's eyes were dim, and he calmly uttered the terrible words: "After all, the places where I stayed in Hua He were only those few. Apart from that, it is impossible for me to have seen her anywhere else."

"..." Li Xuelai's hands almost trembled, "If...if this is true..."

"How could the third daughter of the Ye family end up in such a place? How could the third daughter of the Ye family be related to those things? But if the investigation proves that she is indeed from an orphanage in Huahe..."

"Then we will be able to use a huge handle on Miss Ye San, the Ye family, and even the Wen family."

The man said slowly, "But of course, if this handle is not handled properly, it will probably set off a huge tsunami throughout Yuzhou, and we will become the target of public criticism. After all, there were many people involved in that incident back then, and they probably wouldn't want to bring up this old scandal again."

·

"What do you mean by targeting you? Why did he target you?"

At the same time, in the studio of the Ye family villa.

The girl did not answer Ye Haichuan's question, but suddenly called out "Dad".

Ye Haichuan looked at her and suddenly turned back.

The starlight outside the window fell into the girl's eyes, and then disappeared in her irises because of her turning of her head - like the light of a knife that was suddenly illuminated and then disappeared by the snow at night.

Although it was only a moment, it was extremely eerie.

"Tell me, if the Li family is completely destroyed, can the Ye family afford it?"
