Chapter 1466: Chapter 1466: Dongfang Shu’s Elder Brother

Wu Mei comes and goes quickly, truly a fleeting presence.

After Wu Mei left with the corpses, Xiao Jiu exhaled a breath, asking, “Huan, do you think they can find out?”

“They should be able to,” Ye Xunhuan responded, somewhat uncertain.

“I hope they can find out,” Xiao Jiu prayed.

Suddenly, Xiao Jiu seemed to recall something and said to Ye Xunhuan again, “By the way, Huan, have you heard about Dongfang Shu?”

Upon hearing Xiao Jiu mention Dongfang Shu, Ye Xunhuan was taken aback, looking at Xiao Jiu with some confusion, “What could happen to her?”

Dongfang Shu is the big player in Zhonghai, even Xiao Jiu can’t compare with her.

But hearing Xiao Jiu, it seems like someone is targeting Dongfang Shu.

“I’m not too clear; I heard it from Jiang Wenhao!” Xiao Jiu said quietly, “Jiang Wenhao said a mysterious figure approached him recently, asking if he was interested in all of Dongfang Shu’s enterprises!”

“Mysterious figure?”

“Yes!” Xiao Jiu nodded, “That mysterious figure wants Jiang Wenhao to replace Dongfang Shu!”

“Can’t trace the origins?”

“No trace.” Xiao Jiu shook his head lightly, “Jiang Wenhao called me, asking how to proceed, whether we should replace Dongfang Shu!”

“There’s no such thing as a free lunch; if they’re so bold, they must be significant, and surely their ambitions are not small!”

“That’s unclear, Jiang Wenhao said they didn’t make any demands!” Xiao Jiu said softly.

“No demands?” Ye Xunhuan’s brows, just relaxed, furrowed again.

“I’m puzzled; how could such a pie fall from the sky?” Xiao Jiu was also full of confusion.

Dongfang Shu is a big boss in Zhonghai, especially with her grey enterprises; taking them over isn’t easy.

Moreover, ordinary forces couldn’t possibly manage Dongfang Shu.

Yet, offering her up and not demanding anything is truly a pie from the sky.

That’s why Jiang Wenhao didn’t dare to accept.

Jiang Wenhao has always believed there’s no free lunch, you have to give something to gain, and the unknown origins make him wary.

With Dongfang Shu’s status and identity in Zhonghai, Jiang Wenhao must be extremely cautious, or he risks being swallowed whole.

Moreover, rumors have circulated in Zhonghai that the relationship between Ye Xunhuan and Dongfang Shu is not shallow; some even say Dongfang Shu is Ye Xunhuan’s woman.

This makes Jiang Wenhao hesitant to act.

“Furthermore, when you went abroad, Dongfang Shu seemed to have been attacked by someone, even revealing her most secretive powers, yet she ended up seriously injured!”

“Are you sure about this?”

“It should be accurate.” Xiao Jiu said earnestly.

Ye Xunhuan fell into silence; since having a relationship with Dongfang Shu and being chased out of the villa by her, Ye Xunhuan hadn’t seen Dongfang Shu.

The woman hadn’t contacted him again.

If Xiao Jiu hadn’t mentioned Dongfang Shu today, Ye Xunhuan wouldn’t have thought about her.

To Ye Xunhuan, if Dongfang Shu needed him, she wouldn’t hesitate to reach out; but now, it seems he might’ve guessed wrong.

Could it be as Dongfang Shu said when she drove him away?

The heart of a woman is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; Ye Xunhuan couldn’t fathom its meaning.

“I’ll go see her, see what’s happening!”

Regardless, Dongfang Shu had a relationship with him, and Ye Xunhuan promised Meng Qi to take care of Dongfang Shu.

Besides, though Dongfang Shu often flirted with him, she hadn’t done anything else, occasionally even helped him.

If possible, Ye Xunhuan wouldn’t mind lending Dongfang Shu a hand.

“So, we won’t take this opportunity to act against her?”

“No need,” Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, “Also, are you interested in these power struggles?”

Xiao Jiu chuckled, “I don’t like such things, too dirty!”

If Xiao Jiu craved power, he wouldn’t have clashed with the Feng family over the Lin family and been kicked out.

“But Huan, aren’t you going to see He Sichan?” Xiao Jiu changed topics curiously, “She misses you, and hasn’t ever disturbed you!”

“Another day,”

As Ye Xunhuan spoke, the mysterious figure from last night popped into his mind.

If current circumstances weren’t as expected, He Sichan would be under surveillance; if Ye went there, it could bring danger to her.

After all, the He Luo is a coveted prize.

If he didn’t go, under the opponent’s limited patience, they wouldn’t act recklessly.

“Xiao Jiu, monitor He Sichan’s residence closely, watch for suspicious people, check surroundings too.”

“Huan, what’s going on?”

Ye Xunhuan nodded, “He Sichan’s mother might be back, could harm He Sichan, but fearful of me so might hold back, though surely watching secretly, following her every move, searching for He Luo!”

“He Luo?” Xiao Jiu’s eyes widened, “The one rivaling the Taiji Seal you hold?”

“Yes, that’s it.”

“Could it be…”

“Yes, He Luo was once with He Sichan’s father, but He Duoze gave it to me, and now He Duoze vanished, only He Sichan is left to exploit,” Ye Xunhuan emphasized, “Meanwhile, they’re unsure if I know about He Luo or not!”

“Yesterday I met someone, if I go now, they would think I’m asking He Sichan about He Luo…”

As Ye Xunhuan explained, clarity dawned on Xiao Jiu’s face, “Huan, don’t worry, I’ll arrange it!”

“Be very careful, they’re not simple.”

“It’s the age of technology.” Xiao Jiu chuckled.

……

Within the Xiangzhang Mansion, Dongfang Shu’s once charming face bore a pallor, appearing frail.

Before her stood a man in his mid-thirties.

The man naturally exuded a leader’s authority, a square face, sharp eyes constantly scanning Dongfang Shu, “Shu, you can’t resist, come back with me, or don’t blame me for using force!”
