Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wen Nantian saw a finely crafted doll-like face appear before his eyes.
In an instant, the face transformed into a sinister, blood-drenched infant, seemingly seeking Wen Nantian’s life.
Wen Nantian regained the ability to speak and screamed hysterically, “Ghost, there’s a ghost… This child isn’t human…”
The medical staff on the side were dumbfounded, and those on the side of the Second Master were also terrified. After Wen Nantian’s outburst, he collapsed onto the ground, his heart rate dangerously high.
Gradually, everyone regained their composure.
Soon, Wen Nantian was wheeled away on a cart, and the previously chaotic scene gradually quietened down.
Only then did Yu Dabao turn his attention to Yu Xiaobao, who was in a safe spot.
There was no female ghost. It was Yu Xiaobao all along.
No one knew that Yu Xiaobao had been weak since she was young, so Yu Anwan had sent her to learn martial arts under the Shi family.
The Shi family was renowned as the most prominent martial arts lineage in the country, with its unique style. Names of Shi family disciples were frequently seen in various martial arts competitions. However, being accepted as a disciple of the Shi family was an extremely stringent process. Only those with exceptional talent, suitable physical attributes, and true potential in martial arts could catch the Shi family’s eye.
The most illustrious figure of the Shi family was Shi Changyin, the founder of their particular martial arts style.
Coincidentally, Yu Xiaobao happened to be Shi Changyin’s last closed-door disciple. Yet, Yu Xiaobao’s focus had been on other pursuits, neglecting proper martial arts training. Surprisingly, she excelled in mastering the Shi family’s unique technique of remote acupoint manipulation.
Furthermore, the Shi family were successors of the Sichuanese Face-Changing art. This unusual interest captivated Yu Xiaobao’s attention, making her proficient in the art. However, she seldom utilized it in daily life, reserving it mostly for Halloween and traditional ghost festivals to playfully spook people.
Yu Xiaobao even managed to carry it with him wherever he went.
So, when Wen Nantian was berating Yu Dabao, who couldn’t act boldly due to Wen Zhanyan’s identity, Yu Xiaobao didn’t hesitate to intervene.
It was an unexpected move.
For people like Wen Nantian, a good scare was in order.
As she watched Wen Nantian being taken away, Yu Xiaobao’s eyes curved with delight, her smile beaming.
Conversely, Wen Ye, who had been standing behind Yu Xiaobao, was left dumbfounded by the shock, struggling to believe his own eyes.
Wen Ye’s voice even stuttered, ” Xiaobao… What… What did you do?”
“Uncle, do you want to give it a try?” Yu Xiaobao innocently looked at Wen Ye. Wen Ye shook his head vehemently, “No, thank you.”
Observing Wen Nantian’s bewildered departure, Wen Ye was determined not to end up in the same state.
Contemplating this, Wen Ye silently cautioned himself not to offend Yu Xiaobao, regardless of who it might be.
However, Wen Ye’s curiosity got the best of him, and he stared at Yu Xiaobao with a pitiable expression.
Yu Xiaobao couldn’t help but cover her mouth, bursting into laughter at Wen Ye’s reaction. She playfully beckoned Wen Ye closer.
Wen Ye obediently approached, wearing an expression of eager curiosity.
“Remote acupoint manipulation and Sichuanese Face-Changing art.” Yu Xiaobao smiled tenderly, then lazily explained.
Wen Ye listened with a puzzled expression, “Just like in martial arts novels?”
Yu Xiaobao struck a pose with all seriousness and nodded earnestly,
“Mm-hmm.”
After a moment of astonishment, Wen Ye quickly tried to please, “Xiaobao, could you teach me?”
After scrutinizing Wen Ye, Yu Xiaobao still sweetly responded, “Sorry, Uncle, you can’t.”
“Why?” Wen Ye’s curiosity burned.
“Uncle, your aptitude is mediocre. It’s clear at a glance that you’re not suited for it.” Yu Xiaobao was quite blunt.
Wen Ye, with his average aptitude, was left speechless.
Awvv, such a blow.
Yu Xiaobao raised an eyebrow and looked at Wen Ye, “Uncle, do you think we can keep chatting here without anyone noticing?”
This remark completely brought Wen Ye back to his senses. Without hesitation, he picked up Yu Xiaobao and headed outside.
After all, with the hospital in such chaos, Wen Jin was bound to be on his way there. If they were discovered by Wen Jin, it wouldn’t end well.
Wen Ye had to get Yu Xiaobao back as quickly as possible.
With his playtime over, Yu Xiaobao obediently rested on Wen Ye’s shoulder, while Yu Dabao was already waiting outside.
Wen Ye personally escorted the two little guys back to the hotel, preventing any mishaps on the way.
As Wen Ye journeyed back to the Wen family villa in the capital, he got a call from Wen Jin, and he inquired about the situation at the hospital.
Wen Ye calmly lied, “Big brother, the doctor said that Second Uncle had a sudden stroke due to high blood pressure. You don’t need to worry too much.”
Wen Jin acknowledged with a simple “Hmm,” not delving further into Wen Nantian’s matter. After checking on Wen Zhanming’s condition and ensuring his well-being, Wen Jin’s heart finally settled.
As Wen Ye was about to end the call, Wen Jin suddenly questioned, “Why did you suddenly go to the hospital?”
“I… ” Wen Ye’s anxiety surged for a moment, but he quickly recovered. “I was feeling a bit concerned, so I went to the hospital to check.”
Wen Jin’s response was a nod, and Wen Ye breathed a sigh of relief. However, before he could fully relax, Wen Jin’s voice sounded once more, “Did Zhanyan go as well?”
“Yes, he… ” Wen Ye stuttered nervously.
“When did you go?” Wen Jin asked directly.
“Right when Second Uncle arrived,” Wen Ye responded with a grunt.
His heart raced, fearing that Wen Jin might have detected something. He was also worried that if Wen Jin continued probing, he might inadvertently spill the truth. Moreover, under normal circumstances, Wen Jin wouldn’t inquire so much unless something had happened to Wen Zhanyan.
What kind of situation was unfolding now?
Could he have been found out?
Wen Ye was taken aback.
Wen Jin merely acknowledged with a sound before giving a brief instruction and promptly ending the call. Staring at the disconnected phone, Wen Ye was drenched in a cold sweat from the fright.
He couldn’t afford to hesitate. After confirming with Wen Zhanyan that Wen Jin hadn’t returned or called, Wen Ye let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly drove back to the Wen family villa in the capital.
Meanwhile, Wen Jin ended the call, deep in thought. He lowered his gaze to the screen in his hand. his eves unwavering.
Wen Zhanyan was Wen Jin’s son. How could Wen Jin genuinely not care? Therefore, Wen Zhanyan’s every move was monitored by Wen Jin’s surveillance, preventing any possible issues.
The red dot on the screen marked Wen Zhanyan’s current location. His trajectory remained unchanged, always confined to the Wen family villa.
However, it was an undeniable fact that Wen Zhanyan had indeed been at Union Hospital.
Was there something suspicious going on?
Wen Jin sank into silence. Of course, this was not the surveillance camera on Wen Zhanyan, so Wen Zhanyan would not find out that this was the surveillance camera in the Wen family villa in the capital to avoid any accidents.
So, was it Wen Ye who had been lying?
