Chapter 406: Chapter 406: She did not speak a word to him after she came back

Since that man hadn’t told, then he was even less likely to speak.

Fortunately, Secretary Gao heeded his words, and given that there had been no results from his arrangements over the past two days, he agreed to wait for the young master to recover and return to the country before taking any action.

But the most important point was, even if he wanted to catch him, it was by no means certain he could, because Lin Yebai was no ordinary person.

——

Three days later, at an antique shop near Dongdamen in A City—

Lin Yebai was indeed a very clever man. He knew that after the incident, his residence at Tang Garden would definitely be searched. Therefore, on the day of his return, he left that place.

But this departure was not far; it was just the antique street next to Tang Garden where he stayed, and the place he chose was just the most ordinary shop on this street. Such an arrangement was the easiest to go unnoticed.

Xiaojin came to find him, just around eight or nine in the morning.

Upon entering, he greeted the shop assistant and, after learning that the gentleman was upstairs, he took the items he had with him and went up, "Sir, this is what was acquired from Tang Garden yesterday. I have already made arrangements. For the next few days, we’ll say that you are not in."

After speaking, he handed over the items he was holding, which were some top-quality antiques.

At that moment, Lin Yebai was standing by the windowsill smoking. His appearance had deteriorated significantly over three days. His eye sockets were sunken, and his complexion lacked its usual vibrancy, even his eyes had some bloodshot.

Hearing that everything had been taken care of, he turned around, glanced at the antiques without interest in verifying them, and went back to the living room to sit down.

"Aning still hasn’t left the house?"

"Not yet..." Upon hearing this, Xiaojin’s eyes immediately dimmed.

Almost a week since returning, she hadn’t come down from upstairs. Anyone would be worried in such a situation.

As his voice fell, the man who had just sat down on the sofa, already looking unwell, visibly grew even more distressed. He stubbed out his cigarette butt into the ashtray forcefully. Without saying anything, he picked up the newspaper from the coffee table.

Xiaojin looked at him and, feeling a sense of pity, suggested, "Sir, why don’t we call the young lady over? Aning has a good relationship with her. Maybe, if she comes, she can comfort her."

The young lady?

Xiaoyu?

The man holding the newspaper, upon hearing this, finally showed a glimmer of light in his bloodshot eyes, "Alright, then you go arrange it. By the way, how is Xiaobao?"

"Young Master Xiaobao is doing quite well. Although the place where he’s staying is a bit unfamiliar, both Zhang Ma and his mother are there, so he isn’t really affected."

"That’s good to hear!"

He breathed a sigh of relief, finally settling down to look at the newspaper. However, when he glanced at the page and saw a news item about the president of Ou Group returning to the country, the relief in his eyes tightened once again.

"Ou Mucen has returned to the country?"

"Yes, he came back yesterday afternoon and went straight to the First People’s Hospital of the city."

The First People’s Hospital?

Lin Yebai thought of the hospital where he had first met that man and suddenly let out a cold laugh, "He actually survived? What’s the news from the Ou Family?"

"There is news. It’s said that Ou Yuze has been stripped of his inheritance rights, and 50% of the shares of Dragon-Phoenix Jewelry have fallen into Ou Mucen’s hands."
