This time, Ye Fengxing had clearly misjudged.
"President Pan is a business magnate, and coming to Modu to make money is just a small part of his plan. Swords and blades are blind, and it's unavoidable that it will impact the Ye Corporation."
"And you?" Ye Fengxing asked again.
"You've obstructed us, and you need to pay a price for your actions."
Ye Fengxing couldn't believe that Tang Xiaomin would say such a thing.
They say you can't judge a book by its cover, and she had that innocent, worldly appearance.
But everything she did told Ye Fengxing that he had misjudged her.
"What exactly are you?"
Tang Xiaomin, on the other end of the phone, chuckled.
"You should already have the answer in your heart."
"One last piece of advice: know when to quit. Don't let innocent people come to their deaths anymore. You know nothing about us."
With that, Tang Xiaomin hung up the phone.
They wouldn't provoke trouble, but they certainly wouldn't fear it.
After ending the call, Ye Fengxing was silent for a long time.
She had admitted it, and she was confident.
Ye Fengxing, alone, thought for a long, long time.
He decided to take Tang Yu to the Ye family.
Tang Yu was currently working at Ye Corporation.
Due to internal and external troubles, the funeral company he managed was not doing well.
Tang Yu thought Ye Fengxing was looking for him because of company matters, but he never expected Ye Fengxing to bring him back to the Ye family.
Upon arriving at the Ye family's residence, Tang Yu curiously asked, "President Ye, why did you suddenly bring me back to the Ye family?"
"You'll know soon enough."
Ye Fengxing kept him in suspense.
After following Ye Fengxing through left and right turns, they arrived at a wooden building.
As they approached, the smell of incense filled the air.
Upon entering, the first thing that met their eyes was a giant statue.
Several men in Taoist robes sat cross-legged on cushions, meditating.
This...
Tang Yu thought, the Ye family actually believed in ghosts and gods.
At this moment, an old Taoist priest with a white beard suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, sizing up Tang Yu with a solemn expression.
"Young man, you are surrounded by Yin energy, and your forehead is dark. You will face a bloody disaster in the near future."
Tang Yu was perplexed and scoffed inwardly.
He didn't believe in ghosts and gods.
"President Ye brought me here so suddenly, just say what you need to say."
Seeing that Tang Yu clearly didn't believe him, Ye Fengxing said,
"Do you truly understand Tang Xiaomin?"
Speaking of Tang Xiaomin, Tang Yu became angry, but he was a man of principle.
Family shame should not be spread.
"President Ye called me here, so please speak your mind."
Ye Fengxing nodded and patiently explained to Tang Yu.
"You are Tang Xiaomin's elder brother, and you've lived under the same roof with her. You should know what she's like better than an outsider like me."
"From what I know, Tang Xiaomin used to be gentle and humble. But her personality suddenly changed drastically, becoming arrogant and even violent. Don't you find that strange?"
Ye Fengxing's words triggered Tang Yu's memories.
Tang Xiaomin's personality had changed dramatically; she was disrespectful and lawless.
He couldn't remember when the Tang Xiaomin who got up every day to cook and do chores had last been seen.
"She resents the Tang family, so it's understandable that her attitude is not good. There's nothing strange about it."
At this moment, the old Taoist priest beside them spoke.
"That's not understandable. She has a problem."
Tang Yu glanced at the old Taoist priest.
"What nonsense are you spouting? What problem could she have?"
The old Taoist priest said solemnly,
"She really has a problem."
"When a ghost or evil spirit is involved, not only does the family's fortune decline, but even a person's health is threatened. Think back carefully, have your family members been like this?"
"How about this, I'll give you an amulet to ward off evil. Take it back with you. When she gets close to you, the special spices in the amulet will change smell due to the stimulation of Yin energy. Young man, why not give it a try?"
The old Taoist priest handed the amulet to Tang Yu.
Tang Yu recalled that his parents had fallen critically ill within half a year, and the Tang Corporation had also collapsed.
Could it be...
Tang Yu, half-believing, glanced at Ye Fengxing.
"President Ye called me here just to tell me that Tang Xiaomin is a ghost?"
Ye Fengxing was not a careless person.
If he hadn't called Tang Xiaomin today, and Tang Xiaomin hadn't admitted it herself,
Why would he do something so uncertain?
Ye Fengxing nodded.
"She's a straightforward person. You might as well ask her directly."
"You don't need to worry too much. After all, your Tang family members are all still alive and well, aren't they?"
Ye Fengxing's words had hidden meanings, and the corners of his lips curled into a faint smile.
Tang Yu, carrying the amulet, left the Ye family.
All the way, he kept recalling the events that had happened in the Tang family over the past six months.
It seemed that everything was related to Tang Xiaomin.
Everything was waiting for him to verify.
When Tang Yu returned home, he heard his parents arguing.
Zhang Meiyu, upset that Tang Xiaomin hadn't returned for dinner, took it out on Tang Zhongcheng.
"It's because you're here that Xiaomin won't come back. Before, when I asked her to come back for dinner, she always did. Get out!"
Tang Zhongcheng sat on the sofa, silent, not leaving.
He truly felt wronged.
A dead pig fears no boiling water.
Tang Ye tried to persuade them, "Mom, if she doesn't come back, she doesn't. How can you blame Dad for this?"
"It's him! Who told him to insist on staying here."
"Mom, Xianfu Group is holding a funeral tomorrow. It's said that Tang Xiaomin, as the chief mortician, will be personally present. She's probably really busy and doesn't have time to come."
"What good does it do for her to be a mortician? It's so unlucky," Tang Ye muttered.
Zhang Meiyu continued to be relentless.
"She said long ago that she wanted to do that job. It's one thing for outsiders to look down on her profession. But you're her brother, how can you speak of her like that?"
"It's because of you that she refuses to come back. I've been busy all day. You guys eat yourselves."
Zhang Meiyu, angry, went back to her room to rest.
Tang Zhongcheng sighed helplessly.
"It's all my fault. I'll try calling her again."
Saying that, he tried to call Tang Xiaomin's phone.
Unfortunately, Tang Xiaomin didn't answer at all. Su Dan Novels.
...
Tang Zhongcheng thought for a moment and then said,
"I'll go get her now."
Tang Ye immediately became agitated.
"Dad, it's so late. Don't go cause trouble. Besides, with Tang Xiaomin's temper, even if you go to pick her up with good intentions, she might not come back with you. Why bother?"
"But Mom prepared dinner all day, and she doesn't even have the mood to eat now."
Since Tang Zhongcheng returned, he felt that everything he did was wrong.
He said that, put on his coat, and was actually preparing to go pick up Tang Xiaomin.
Tang Yu watched helplessly as his parents went to such lengths over Tang Xiaomin not eating dinner.
Although Tang Yu was the elder brother, he understood that he was no longer young and shouldn't quarrel with Tang Xiaomin over such matters.
However, his parents only had eyes for Tang Xiaomin now, which still made him feel uncomfortable.
