My Silly, Sweet Wife

”What do you mean?”

Wang Chaoyang asked cautiously, looking at Ye Guichen.

After hearing Mai Gu’s report on Wang Xiao’s condition, Wang Chaoyang did not panic as expected.

As the eldest son of the Wang family, he knew that if Wang Xiao truly died, his first responsibility was not to mourn, but to stabilize the family’s situation.

Therefore, the urgent task was to block all news, allowing no one to enter or leave.

Even Mai Gu was temporarily kept in the Prince Mansion, to be released only after matters were settled.

Only by doing so could they guard against opportunists looking to take advantage.

Wang Chaoyang thought he had done a good job of keeping Wang Xiao’s illness a secret, but how did Ye Guichen know?

A hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

Ye Guichen naturally sensed the oddity in Wang Chaoyang’s eyes and said calmly, ”You don’t need to be like this. Wang’s death is of no benefit to me. I can take a look at Wang’s condition now, and maybe there’s still some leeway.”

”You know medicine?” Wang Chaoyang did not believe Ye Guichen, thinking the information had somehow leaked.

Wang Ruolan also found it odd and whispered a few words to Wang Chaoyang.

Ye Guichen had mentioned it briefly to Wang Ruolan before, but she didn’t believe him.

Now that Ye Guichen brought it up again, it naturally aroused suspicion.

Pang Quan dared not speak but also sensed the anomaly.

He felt the atmosphere in the Wang family was off, but being in a precarious situation himself, these thoughts were irrelevant.

Duan Nanye was no fool either and quickly said, ”What’s wrong? Is Wang sick? Brother Ye is a Divine Doctor! If Wang really is ill, Brother Ye could indeed help.”

The title ”Divine Doctor” set Ye Guichen on a high pedestal.

Wang Chaoyang, who knew Duan Nanye, recognized that he typically did not speak empty words.

Previously, he found it odd that Duan Nanye stood by Ye Guichen, but now calling Ye Guichen a Divine Doctor was even stranger: ”Didn’t you say he was too young to know much about medicine? I appreciate your goodwill, but our Wang family’s business doesn’t need Brother Duan’s concern.”

With a few light words, Wang Xiao’s illness was dismissed.

After speaking, Wang Chaoyang ignored the others and instructed his people to take everyone away to rest.

Ye Guichen, seeing Wang Chaoyang didn’t believe him, was too lazy to explain further.

Although he was said to be a guest in the Wang family, it was more akin to imprisonment.

In the Wang family’s courtyard, there were plenty of villas, each belonging to Wang Xiao, Wang Chaoyang, and Wang Ruolan.

Ye Guichen, along with Duan Nanye, was taken to a remote villa, treated with good food and drink but heavily guarded outside.

Pang Quan was confined alone.

Ye Guichen understood Wang Chaoyang’s intentions even without asking.

He intended to harshly interrogate Pang Quan, forcing him to hand over Wang Ying.

Although Pang Quan was the vice president of Azure Dragon Commerce, in Wang Chaoyang’s eyes, he was as good as dead.

”Brother Ye, do you know what kind of person Wang Chaoyang is?” Duan Nanye asked quietly when no one was around.

Ye Guichen squinted his eyes, not in a hurry.

He believed Wang Chaoyang would come to him eventually.

Seeing his words didn’t interest Ye Guichen, Duan Nanye scratched his head and continued, ”Do you know that our Hua Country has a Military God, reputed to be a Martial Arts Grandmaster?”

Ye Guichen was originally contemplating Wang Xiao’s illness.

Although he had previously noticed anomalies in Wang Xiao’s body due to his cultivation technique, without checking his pulse, he only gave a reminder.

Wang Xiao did not believe him at the time.

However, the current atmosphere in the Wang family confirmed his suspicions.

Ye Guichen had a good impression of Wang Xiao and naturally wouldn’t watch him die with open eyes.

Upon hearing ”Martial Arts Grandmaster,” Ye Guichen’s thoughts were pulled back: ”Brother Duan, what do you mean, is Wang Chaoyang related to that person?”

”Yes, Wang Chaoyang once fought with the Military God! It was only in recent years, as Wang Xiao aged, that Wang Chaoyang left the Military God and stayed in Jinling. But you know, Wang Chaoyang, having been with the Military God, has a unique status. Although he’s currently a Major General, few dare to provoke him.”

”Major General?” Ye Guichen was slightly surprised, not expecting Wang Chaoyang to have a military rank.

No wonder his words and actions exuded an air of superiority.

At his age, becoming a Major General was certainly no easy feat.

Smacking his lips, Duan Nanye sighed and shifted the topic back to Wang Xiao: ”Brother Ye, do you truly think Wang is ill?”

Ye Guichen did not hide: ”You should have seen Wang Chaoyang’s series of actions, nearly sealing off the entire Jinling Royal Mansion. There’s no need to guess; something major must have happened.”

”Is it not because of Wang Ying?”

Ye Guichen shook his head: ”Wang Ying is likely just a catalyst. I now worry that Pang Quan has ulterior motives in capturing Wang Ying.”

”Ulterior motives, what do you mean?”

Ye Guichen pondered: ”I can’t say specifically, but something feels off. By the way, what’s the relationship between Wang Xiao and the president of Azure Dragon Commerce?”

Remembering Pang Quan’s previous statements, Ye Guichen couldn’t help but be suspicious.

Duan Nanye leaned closer to Ye Guichen: ”Brother Ye, few people know this, even among the Wang family, but as the leader of Dragon Teeth, I naturally know a bit.”

Duan Nanye tricked Ye Guichen into coming to Jinling and felt guilty.

Now, with nothing else to do, his gossip senses tingled.

Seeing Ye Guichen asked, he had nothing to hide.

”From what I know, the president of Azure Dragon Commerce is Uncle Wang’s brother, his actual brother.”

”What?” Ye Guichen abruptly stood up: ”His actual brother? Are you sure?”

Duan Nanye shook his head: ”I’m not completely sure, but I once heard others mention it. Its veracity needs further verification. However, based on years of observation, I can reach a rough conclusion. Although our Dragon Teeth headquarters isn’t in Jinling, due to my father’s relationship, our Duan Family has many interactions with the Wang Family. Once, I overheard my father mentioning it. If my assumption is correct, the president of Azure Dragon Commerce should be Wang Xiong, someone with stature equal to Wang Xiao!”

Ye Guichen did not respond, showing a listening posture.

Duan Nanye continued: ”However, Uncle Wang and Wang Xiong seem to always have had a bad relationship. Over the years, Wang Xiong seldom appeared in public, but his ambitions are clear through Azure Dragon Commerce’s actions. This time, King Yan joined Azure Dragon Commerce, which proves our suspicions. However, due to lack of evidence and Wang Xiong’s ruthless methods, we have been frequently restrained.”

At this point, Duan Nanye awkwardly smiled: ”That’s why I eagerly brought Brother Ye into this, hoping you could assist me. Brother Ye, don’t worry; I won’t be vague in helping you investigate.”

Ye Guichen asked: ”Do you have clues?”

Regarding the Seven-colored Lotus Jade and his own heritage, Ye Guichen was always most concerned.

Otherwise, he would have already fallen out with Duan Nanye.
