After that, they watched the videos of the remaining people one by one, but found nothing suspicious. Finally, the two decided to check on the two maids first, as the motives of these two strangers seemed more suspect.
From the timid answers of the two maids, they still couldn't find any loopholes. Moreover, there was no evil aura on them. They had a bit of merit. They were neither extremely evil nor great benefactors. At first glance, they were just ordinary people.
As for Li Zhuo and Hou Hua, they both trusted their friends. So now the clues were broken, and there was no way to continue the investigation.
"Don't worry, Shushu. It's possible that this person is so highly - cultivated that they can deceive everyone. But with me around, I won't let that person have a chance to harm you. Just relax," Yong Shanling said with a smile, not wanting Shushu to keep frowning. She was afraid that by the time she returned to her own body, she would look old.
Yong Shanling's words made a warm current flow through Mu Yijie's heart. He smiled and said, "Then Shushu's safety is in your hands, big president."
"Hehe, of course. I'm the boss now. I'm in charge of the livelihoods of thousands of people," Yong Shanling said with a brilliant smile on his handsome face.
The two discussed the mastermind behind the scenes for a while, but in the end, they got nowhere. Then they turned to discuss the trip to the southern town.
After Yong Shanling left, Mu Yijie's face immediately darkened. With a gloomy look in his eyes, he opened the video of Yong Shanling and Ye Qinghe together again.
Both of them were young, beautiful, and full of vitality. Standing together, they seemed like a perfect match. He sneered and slowed down the video ten times.
Sure enough, he found something fishy. There was a ten - minute segment that was a repetition of the previous footage, but the actions were connected so naturally that it was hard to notice the problem.
Even without direct evidence, it was enough to prove that this guy had ulterior motives. A glint of pleasure flashed in Mu Yijie's eyes, and a cold smile curled up on his innocent and cute face.
Next, he needed to verify it bit by bit.
Ye Qinghe, what will you do?
After that, they informed a few good friends of their plan to go south. Li Zhuo and Hou Hua were going to explore the Amazon rainforest, so they had to part ways regretfully.
One day, Mu Yijie was sitting in the corridor of the yard, reading a book. Suddenly, a soft sound of footsteps came. He looked up and saw Ye Qinghe walking towards him hesitantly.
"What's up, little Qinghe?" Mu Yijie showed a naughty smile.
Ye Qinghe twitched the corner of his mouth and forced a stiff smile. "Shanling jie, I heard that you and Mr. Mu are going south?"
The smile in Mu Yijie's eyes deepened, and his smile became even sweeter. "Yes. I heard there's a town of cultivators there. We have something to check out."
Hearing the affirmative answer, Ye Qinghe's eyes lit up, but then dimmed. He bit his lips and stammered, "Shanling jie... I... I also want to go."
Mu Yijie looked at him in confusion and blinked his eyes. "But your cultivation level is not high enough, and it's very dangerous out there. If you hadn't insisted on going last time, I would never have let you tag along." His voice rose, and his cheeks turned a little red with anger.
Ye Qinghe's eyes immediately turned red. He trembled and said, "I know I was wrong, but jie, you know that I used to be a vagrant in the south when I was a kid. If... if I go to the south, with my current identity, maybe I can use my magic to find my relatives. I really want to have my own family."
Seeing that "Yong Shanling" was clearly wavering, Ye Qinghe continued, "If it's really not possible, I won't trouble jie anymore. After all, jie has helped me so much. I'll just go and find them on my own."
"Yong Shanling" got a bit angry. "No, it's not safe for you to go alone. Fine, you can come with us, but this time you mustn't run around. Got it?"
Ye Qinghe broke into a smile through his tears and excitedly hugged "Yong Shanling". "Thank you, jie!"
The smile on Yong Shanling's lips widened, but his eyes were as cold as ice. He whispered, "Why thank me? After all, you're my savior."
Sure enough, he felt the body hugging him stiffen for a second and then return to normal the next second, but it was still noticed by Mu Yijie, who had been paying close attention.
"Where, jie is my savior. What I did was just a drop in the bucket. And this time, it's also jie who's helping me."
Mu Yijie showed a touched smile and whispered, "Come on, let's not keep thanking each other like this. After all, we're friends, right?"
Ye Qinghe showed a shy smile, responded, and then took his leave.
After Ye Qinghe's back disappeared from sight, Mu Yijie took out a tissue in disgust and gently wiped his hands. He said in disgust, "White - eyed wolf."
"Shushu, who are you calling a white - eyed wolf?" Yong Shanling's magnetic voice suddenly sounded.
Mu Yijie stopped his hand movement, threw the handkerchief into the trash can, and smiled. "Isn't it you? This guy just knows how to play all day long and doesn't help me deal with business. After all, you're the president now."
Hearing Shushu's words, Yong Shanling felt a bit guilty. She should have learned to handle some things, but as soon as she saw those plans and reports, she got a headache. So she could only trouble Shushu to help.
But the others in the company started to spread rumors that Shushu was so infatuated with a little girl that he let a little girl interfere in the company's affairs.
However, under the high - pressure rule of "Mu Yijie", no one dared to say no.
So she felt very guilty. She gave a flattering smile. "Yes, yes, yes. I'm the white - eyed wolf. But it's really too difficult. So Shushu, you're more capable, so you can do more."
The angle of Mu Yijie's lips widened even more. He smiled and tapped her on the head. "Little rascal."
The next second, his smile slightly faded. He said casually, "By the way, Ye Qinghe's hometown seems to be in the south. He came to plead with me, saying that he wants to go with us to look for his parents."
As soon as Yong Shanling heard this, she felt a bit heart - ache. She quickly said, "I heard him say before that his hometown is in the south. Well, every orphan yearns for their own family. After all, they are the ones who gave birth to and raised them. Let him go if he wants to. This time, I will definitely not let anything happen to anyone."
Mu Yijie chuckled. "It should be me who won't let anything happen to you guys. After all, I'm a Jindan - stage cultivator."
Yong Shanling was stunned. Then she suddenly remembered that she was the weak one now, while Shushu had suddenly become a master. She felt a bit depressed for a moment, but the next second she got excited. "Shushu, in that case, you can sense the Jindan stage in advance. This will be very helpful for your future cultivation."
