Chapter 216: Born of the Same Root

Xia Zi realized that Ye Zhongjue seemed to be out of sorts.

She suddenly yelled at him. “Ye Zhongjue, what’s wrong with you!”

That jolted him back to reality. He shook his head and said, “Nothing, let’s go!”

He then started the engine and headed for the Mo family home. The both of them were silent throughout the ride.

Ye Zhongjue saw Mo Zhenfeng walk out just as he arrived.

Ye Zhongjue was surprised to see him. He did not inform them beforehand that he was visiting tonight, so why did Mo Zhenfeng come out just as he arrived!

He had always felt that the circumstances of Xia Yanran’s death were questionable. His car hit Tang Mo during the accident, so Tang Mo’s death was directly caused by him.

However, he clearly remembered that Xia Yanran was not very heavily injured at the time, and he always felt that there was something fishy going on. He got his men to investigate and found out that Xia Yanran had met Bai Lian before the accident happened. He found this to be rather dodgy. Something unexpected must have happened, thus Ye Zhongjue had been looking into this in an attempt to uncover the truth.

This was why he did not avoid Mo Sulian even when she approached him since he might be able to make use of her to find some clues to what happened in the past.

Mo Zhenfeng smiled as he saw Ye Zhongjue’s car. Although Mo Suqing went missing, Ye Zhongjue still visited them from time to time in the past five years, and he felt that the relationship between Ye Zhongjue and Sulian seemed to have improved overtime.

The Mo Group’s status had been elevated because of their ties to Mighty Empire, and Mo Zhenfeng could only smile at the thought of always being under the protection of Mighty Empire.

Aunt Wu had turned back to inform him that Ye Zhongjue came to visit since she happened to see his car on her way out to get the groceries, or else he would have no idea that Ye Zhongjue had arrived.

Sulian was also at home tonight, and since she seemed to be on rather good terms with Ye Zhongjue, he believed that it would not be a problem for the Mo family to continue having Ye Zhongjue on their side. He was akin to a treasure trove for them.

Mo Zhenfeng watched the car as he began formulating a plan.

Ye Zhongjue smirked as he saw the expression on Mo Zhenfeng’s face. He could not believe that there would be a father who continued shamelessly making use of his son-in-law even after his own daughter went missing. Such a father even wanted to matchmake his other daughter with his son-in-law in blatant disregard for his missing daughter.

Were benefits that important to him?

Ye Zhongjue tried to calm himself down before turning to Xia Zi.

“Let’s go!”

Xia Zi nodded.

Ye Zhongjue alighted first, his poker face betraying none of that anger he had just felt.

Mo Zhenfeng pulled Mo Sulian along with him as he saw Ye Zhongjue alight.

“Xiaoye, you’re here! Come on in!” Mo Zhenfeng uses ‘Xiaoye’ to address Ye Zhongjue as a term of affection.
