My Silly, Sweet Wife

From the moment Wu Caijun entered, Ye Guichen sensed that he had something to say to him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have made a special trip here so late at night.

Seeing Ye Guichen about to leave, Chen Ziran panicked, holding two checks worth twenty million in her hands, not knowing what to do: ”Ye Guichen, these two checks...”

”Oh, you’re my wife, so naturally, you should keep them.” Ye Guichen said, glancing at Tian Chengen, then turned and walked outside.

Tian Chengen was already utterly humiliated and afraid that Wu Caijun might hit him again, so how could he stay any longer?

Not long after, he and Zhao Lan hurriedly said their goodbyes and left.

”Ranran, are these two checks real?” After everyone left, Lv Ping snatched the checks in one swift move.

Chen Ziran understood that Lv Ping hadn’t believed her earlier, she nodded: ”They are absolutely real.”

”Wow, we’re rich!” Lv Ping exclaimed in surprise, kissing the checks repeatedly.

Chen Ziran looked distressed: ”Mom, let’s not talk about the origin of these checks first; they aren’t ours, they’re Ye Guichen’s.”

Lv Ping rolled her eyes: ”We’re all family, what’s yours is mine.”

Afraid that Chen Ziran might take the checks back, Lv Ping hurriedly took them into the inner room while muttering, ”Truly a spendthrift. If I had known they were real earlier, I wouldn’t have let him give away those seven million.”

Chen Ziran seemed to be deep in thought.

First, there was the thirty-million necklace, then the gifts worth millions, and now twenty-seven million in checks.

Is Ye Guichen really just a simple country boy?

...

”Speak, what is it?” Outside, Ye Guichen and Wu Caijun found a corner in the neighborhood.

Wu Caijun hurriedly took something out of his pocket and handed it to Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen looked down and saw an object resembling a jade pendant.

On the front was carved a snake head, while on the back were three words.

Those three words didn’t look like Chinese characters; they seemed more like oracle bone script.

”Snake Head Mountain?” Ye Guichen was slightly stunned when he saw those three words.

Seeing that Ye Guichen recognized them, Wu Caijun’s eyes lit up: ”Benefactor, you’re indeed amazing. I specifically found someone to verify these three words; they indeed spell Snake Head Mountain.”

”What’s going on?” Ye Guichen ignored Wu Caijun’s flattery and asked again.

Wu Caijun didn’t dare to hide anything and quickly said: ”Benefactor, when you descended into that tomb, I felt you might be interested in the things inside, so I paid a bit more attention. The rest of the items I sold to Wannian Chang. Zhou Huairen also recognized their value at a glance and took them all without hesitation, but I found this item peculiar and kept it.”

”Where did this come from?” Ye Guichen asked, puzzled.

When he had been in the small tomb, he hadn’t found this jade pendant.

Wu Caijun explained: ”Benefactor, you might not know this. After you left, I became interested in that two-headed snake again, so I and Sandao cut open its stomach and found this.”

”Go on.” Ye Guichen’s eyes brightened slightly.

At that time, he hadn’t considered whether there might be something in the snake’s stomach.

Wu Caijun had worked as a grave robber before, so his methods were a bit different from Ye Guichen’s.

Wu Caijun lowered his voice and continued: ”I found it odd when I got this jade pendant. After some inquiries, I actually dug up some information.”

”Not many people know about Snake Head Mountain, but for people like us, it’s very familiar. Snake Head Mountain is in the Qishan Mountain Range on the outskirts of Yun City. Coincidentally, I also went there at the time.” As he said this, a hint of fear flashed in Wu Caijun’s eyes.

Ye Guichen perceptively sensed subtext in Wu Caijun’s words: ”Your companion Shen Lang, is he the one who died in Snake Head Mountain?”

Wu Caijun was shocked, not expecting Ye Guichen to guess his thoughts so easily. He hurriedly said: ”Exactly, and from what I know, the old sir of the Chen Family also went to Snake Head Mountain decades ago to develop it but later abandoned the idea. However, when he returned, he established the Chen Group within three short years. It’s said that after the old sir returned from Snake Head Mountain, he contracted a strange illness and was barely kept alive for another decade thanks to a divine doctor.”

”You’re talking about the old sir of the current Chen Group?”

”That’s right.”

Ye Guichen realized he had underestimated Wu Caijun; he’d even dug up such secrets.

Although Ye Guichen was designated as Chen Ziran’s fiancé by the old sir of the Chen Family, he was unaware of these secrets.

But one thing piqued Ye Guichen’s interest.

Because the place where his master, Li Fengxian, found him back then was Snake Head Mountain.

It’s said that the Snake Head Mountain area had a large tomb complex, and judging by this, the old sir of the Chen Family must have discovered something there as well.

Ye Guichen showed a contemplative expression.

Wu Caijun tentatively asked: ”Mr. Ye, that Snake Head Mountain...”

Ye Guichen, understanding Wu Caijun’s implication, nodded slightly: ”Let’s find some time to go take a look.”

”Great!” Wu Caijun was overjoyed.

He had always been haunted by his companion’s death, and after witnessing Ye Guichen’s abilities, he couldn’t suppress the urge to have Ye Guichen lead them to explore Snake Head Mountain again.

Unexpectedly, they found a jade pendant with Snake Head Mountain inscribed on it in the snake’s stomach, which intensified Wu Caijun’s resolve.

”Ranran, slow down!”

At that moment, Lv Ping’s voice came from Chen Family’s window.

Ye Guichen looked towards the hallway of Chen Family’s building and saw Chen Ziran hurrying out.

”Alright, you go back first. I’ll contact you later.” Ye Guichen said to Wu Caijun, then quickly caught up with Chen Ziran: ”Honey, what’s wrong?”

Chen Ziran looked anxious: ”Something terrible has happened.”
