Chapter 2401: Who is that gutsy?

Inside Si Yehan’s mansion:

After several days of investigation and preparation, Si Yehan pinpointed Tangtang’s location and determined the situation regarding the security at Wanmei Villa. At the same time, all of their men were summoned and could be mobilized at any moment.

As soon as Lin Que thought about how they were going to attack the scariest place in Tianshui City, Wanmei Villa, he started trembling in fright. “Wanmei Villa is the place Yin Yuerong specifically uses to nurture gu, so the ground is filled with poisonous insects and the forest surrounding it is filled with toxic air. No one in Tianshui City dares to approach it…”

Ye Wanwan said, “I requested my brother to have Dead Man make medicinal pouches. They’ll be distributed to everyone later. They can help provide resistance against the poisonous insects and toxic air.”

As soon as Ye Wanwan thought about how long Tangtang had been in that frightening place, she burned with anxiety.

Initially, she thought Yin Yuerong was merely being prideful and would definitely use Tangtang to trade for Yin Heng after a few days.

To their surprise, Yi Lingjun conducted several probing rounds of negotiations with Yin Yuerong, but the woman remained immovable as a mountain.

After all, this was part of the Arbitration Council’s territory, so if this matter escalated, the Arbitration Council couldn’t ignore it, and Yi Lingjun would be put in a difficult spot then.

Hence, Ye Wanwan had been placating Si Yehan the past few days while patiently waiting for news from Yi Lingjun.

However, seven days had passed but Yin Yuerong was still unwilling to release Tangtang, so they had no choice but to employ forceful methods.

“Ninth Brother, Ninth Sister, how about… how about we wait until later? It’d be better to go there in the middle of the night, right?” Lin Que persuaded.

Si Yehan’s gaze remained placid. “Inform everyone we’re departing immediately.”

With every second they delayed, any degree of danger could befall Tangtang.

Ye Wanwan looked exasperated. “Do you think Yin Yuerong would be unprepared? There isn’t any difference whether we go during the day or night.”

Lin Que: “Eh…”

Lin Que couldn’t refute Ye Wanwan. He simply wanted to die…

In the end, Si Yehan and Ye Wanwan personally led a team of elites and headed toward Wanmei Villa.

At Wanmei Villa:

Auntie Qiao ordered people to purchase many fresh ingredients and even prepared an apron.

Yin Yuerong changed into a leisurely outfit before washing her hands and donning the apron. Then she started preparing dinner in the kitchen.

She couldn’t remember how many years it’d been since she had cooked. She initially thought she’d be out of practice, but when she picked up the knife, a familiar feeling returned to her.

That moment, she realized those memories had never truly disappeared or were forgotten. They had merely been repressed in the deepest depths of her mind.

She never expected she’d cook again for someone one day…

Since the kitchen was filled with smoke and soot, Yin Yuerong forbade Tantang from entering and the little fella could only longingly wait in the dining room.

“Little Young Master, Madam is cooking already, so be good and play here. It will only be a moment!” Auntie Qiao gently reassured him.

“Okay,” Tangtang replied.

After saying a few more words, Auntie Qiao made her way back to the kitchen to continue assisting Yin Yuerong.

However, on her way there, someone rushed inside in a panic. “Housekeeper Qiao, Housekeeper Qiao! Not good!”

Auntie Qiao frowned slightly. “Why are you making a ruckus? What happened?”

The man dressed as a guard was panting as he said, “Someone’s trespassing! And they’re very fast; they’ve arrived at the foot of the mountain already…”

Auntie Qiao was instantly enraged. “What did you say? Who is that gutsy and dares to break into Wanmei Villa?!”
