Chapter 187: Third Young Master Ye’s Capability (I)

“Is something wrong?” Chu Wuyou was taken aback. She was aware that her Senior had returned to the country but she did not expect him to come back to Jin City. Perhaps something bad had happened?

“Everything’s fine. I’d like to meet you since I happen to visit the area.” The man on the other end of the phone chuckled a little.

“…”

Chu Wuyou hesitated for a moment. Her Senior rarely returned to the home country and he happened to visit Jin City coincidentally. It was natural that she would like to meet him. However, she was aware that Ye Lanchen had been very suspicious of her. She feared that meeting with her Senior at a time like this would invite unnecessary troubles and in turn affect the latter too.

After all, her Senior’s complicated identity could be at risk even if they were in their home country. She was afraid that his concern for her would expose him to danger.

Besides, this superficial politeness was not what they valued most in their relationship.

The man on the other end of the phone heaved a silent sigh when he detected her hesitation

This young lady had always been slow-witted when dealing with relationship issues.

He should have lied in the beginning and mentioned that he needed to meet her for official business.

However, he was fully aware that even if he had done so, she would not spare him a chance to speak about other matters after discussing the official business.

The man sighed internally. He was reluctant to end the call on that note hence he decided to change the topic. “Well, there is something else.”

“Senior, what’s the matter?” A hint of surprise flashed across Chu Wuyou’s eyes upon discovering his unexpected change of tone.

The man on the other end of the phone silently sighed once more. It appeared that she was not planning to meet him either after that. She was persistent to go through whatever problem over the phone.

“How is it going between you and Ye Lanchen?” He knew that she might suggest ending the conversation if he did not bring up a serious issue.

Her and Ye Lanchen? It was peculiar that her Senior would suddenly enquire about that.

“What about us?” Chu Wuyou was startled for a couple of seconds and finally replied with another question. She did not want to reveal much about her affairs with Ye Lanchen although she regarded her Senior as family.

The man’s eyes darkened upon hearing her tone. He could feel her active defense even through the phone.

Really?! She was guarding against him because of Ye Lanchen?!

This acknowledgment made the man on the other end of the phone extremely uncomfortable. It had only been several days since she met Ye Lanchen but he had known her for some years. However, she was currently guarding against him because of Ye Lanchen?!

The man heaved a sigh. He convinced himself that perhaps she simply did not want to talk about it.

In actuality, Chu Wuyou was not guarding against him at all; she just really did not want to discuss that.

“Ye Lanchen instructed his people to investigate your background in Country M,” the man suddenly announced after a brief pause.

“He ordered people to investigate my affairs in Country M?” This stunned Chu Wuyou unquestionably. She was already surprised when Ye Lanchen suddenly came to ambush her in the police station the previous time.

However, she thought that he would give up after failing.

Turned out he had instructed people to inquire into her affairs in Country M?

Why would he do that? Why did he want to probe into her life?

Initially, she suspected that Ye Lanchen could be the man from five years ago. However, her Senior had disclosed to her that the person from five years ago was Mo Yan instead.

Therefore, what was Ye Lanchen’s real motive behind all this?

“Perhaps the secret would be revealed soon once he started the investigation, given his capability.” An unusual emotion flashed across the man’s eyes. There seemed to be a hidden meaning behind this simple sentence.

He believed he would not have to express his intention explicitly. Her high intelligence would unquestionably pick up even the slightest clue.

“His capability?” As expected, Chu Wuyou grasped the crucial point almost immediately.

Ye Lanchen’s capability?
