Chapter 931: Her Lanugo

Chapter 931: Her Lanugo

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At this moment, Ye Li was already consumed by worry.

He didn’t know the identity of the mastermind, nor did he understand the motive behind taking Ye Leng’an’s lanugo. Yet, the clandestine contact with them and the sudden influx of a substantial amount of money into their account were sufficient evidence that the other party was no ordinary individual.

Moreover, now that Ye Leng’an was aware of how the Ye family had obtained that sizable sum of money, how could she possibly let them off the hook?

Their current predicament amounted to offending two influential figures. What would become of the Ye Group in the future?

And the instigator of all this chaos was none other than his wife.

Upon hearing Ye Li’s furious reprimand, Lin Wanqin seemed to snap out of a trance. Panic immediately washed over her face. “No, darling, I didn’t intend to reveal it. But when I saw the look in Ye Leng’an’s eyes just now, I couldn’t control myself.”

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but shiver. The more she pondered, the more eerie the situation felt.

Ye Li didn’t believe a word of Lin Wanqin’s explanation. “Even if you didn’t want to speak, could she force you? Ye Leng’an didn’t do anything except watch you.”

“I’m telling the truth.” Lin Wanqin disregarded the pain on her cheek. “I genuinely didn’t want to speak, but for some reason, I couldn’t stop myself.”

Her tone carried a hint of fear. “Do you think Ye Leng’an did something behind the scenes? I can’t shake the feeling that she’s peculiar.”

Ye Li remained skeptical of Lin Wanqin’s words. He believed she was grasping at straws to absolve herself of blame. “Whether intentional or not, because of you, I don’t know what will become of the Ye Group!”

Lin Wanqin felt utterly aggrieved. She opened her mouth to defend herself but found herself at a loss for words.

Observing her, Ye Li felt no sympathy, only irritation. He rose from his seat, ignoring Lin Wanqin entirely as he headed straight for the door.

Lin Wanqin wanted to call out to Ye Li, but he seemed deaf to her pleas. He marched out without a pause.

At this point, Ye Li cared little for Lin Wanqin’s state. He only desired to return to the company promptly. With Lin Wanqin divulging everything to Ye Leng’an, he feared the consequences. What if Ye Leng’an sought retribution? And what if the mysterious figure behind them perceived them as traitors to be eliminated?

Regardless of whether the Ye Group was currently facing a crisis, he needed to return promptly to take charge and prevent any potential emergencies.

Unaware of the turmoil brewing in the Ye family, Ye Leng’an wasted no time in heading towards Huangye Group.

Within minutes, she arrived at the company’s premises.

“What’s wrong?” Huangfu Ruiling’s expression betrayed confusion as Ye Leng’an entered. “You don’t seem yourself. Has something happened?”

Taking her seat opposite Huangfu Ruiling, Ye Leng’an wasted no time. “Ling, I visited the Ye family today and uncovered the source of their recent windfall.”

“Is it related to you?” Huangfu Ruiling immediately grasped the significance.

“Yes.” Ye Leng’an’s eyes gleamed darkly. “It was a fair exchange. Someone behind the scenes provided Ye Li with a hefty sum of money, and in return, Ye Li surrendered something of mine. My lanugo.”

Huangfu Ruiling’s demeanor shifted from casual to grave. “Are you sure?”

If indeed someone had taken Ye Leng’an’s lanugo hair, matters were far more complex. As cultivators, they understood that many phenomena defied scientific explanation. Especially in the Hidden World, cultivators safeguarded their possessions meticulously. Surrendering one’s belongings invited perilous consequences.

Lanugo was a personal item, and it also belonged to Ye Leng’an. If it had truly been taken by someone, it would be a very dangerous situation.

“I’m sure.” Ye Leng’an nodded calmly, with a tinge of regret in her tone. “It’s partly my fault. I had forgotten about this matter. However, I never expected that Ye Li and Lin Wanqin would still have kept my fetal hair.”

Typically, she disposed of her hair and nails with utmost care to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands. The discovery of her fetal hair at the Ye family was a glaring oversight.

With confirmation from Ye Leng’an, Huangfu Ruiling’s concern intensified. “Who is behind this?”

Urgency surged to ascertain the mastermind’s motives and reclaim Ye Leng’an’s lanugo hair.

“I don’t know.” Ye Leng’an shook her head. “Neither Ye Li nor Lin Wanqin has ever laid eyes on the culprit.”

Lin Wanqin wouldn’t lie, and she couldn’t lie. When she questioned Lin Wanqin at the Ye family, a method similar to hypnosis was employed. Of course, this differed significantly from the hypnosis in the mortal world. With the added allure of spiritual power, Lin Wanqin couldn’t conceal her true thoughts and would divulge all the information.

Huangfu Ruiling’s countenance turned solemn. “I’ll instruct the Enforcement Team to unearth this individual from the Hidden World promptly.”

Allowing such a significant possession to fall into another’s hands left him restless. It spelled imminent danger for Ye Leng’an, a scenario he refused to tolerate.

Regardless of the culprit’s identity, any harm inflicted upon Ye Leng’an would be met with swift retribution.

At the thought, Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes flickered with an inscrutable glint.

“In truth, there’s no need to fret,” Ye Leng’an reassured Huangfu Ruiling, sensing his unease. “We’re unaware of the other party’s intentions. Panicking prematurely serves no purpose! Moreover, regardless of the culprit’s identity, I’ll ensure they regret crossing me.”
