The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 563 - Chapter 563 Chapter 562 Winning by Doing Nothing Doesn't Feel Like an Achievement

Chapter 563: Chapter 562: Winning by Doing Nothing Doesn’t Feel Like an Achievement Chapter 563: Chapter 562: Winning by Doing Nothing Doesn’t Feel Like an Achievement Tang Wenhui found it very hard to understand why someone who had disappeared would come back.

Why would someone who was almost declared dead still be alive?

Could her son’s recent rebellious behavior be related to Ye Lingxi?

The Ye Family had already returned to a state of calm, but as soon as she came back, the house was in chaos again.

Tang Wenhui was distressed and annoyed, so she directly called Ye Jinwen back home.

As always, the stern and authoritative mother didn’t leave much room for Ye Jinwen to choose.

Tang Wenhui got straight to the point, “I’ve already learned about Xi Xi being alive.”

Ye Jinwen glanced at his mother, his baby face bearing a trace of barely-there mockery.

“So, you admit that you identified the wrong body back then?

You are now a representative of the medical community, a decision-maker at the Life Science Institute.

How could you make such a rookie mistake?”

Ye Jinwen spoke with a somewhat cool tone, which left Tang Wenhui stunned for a moment.

She didn’t like her son speaking to her in such a sarcastic way.

“Jinwen, as long as you and Xi Xi don’t say anything, no one will know,” she said, never expecting that Ye Lingxi would actually come back alive.

After all, Tang Wenhui didn’t have that many resources, and she hadn’t known that all the victims were rescued by Number Thirteen.

All she knew was that Ye Lingxi really shouldn’t have come back.

Ye Jinwen didn’t want to listen to her, “And what about Xi Xi?

She can never reclaim her identity, is that it?”

“I didn’t come today to discuss these matters with you,” Tang Wenhui took a deep breath.

“I’ve already arranged a time with the Shen Family, and our two families will sit down and have a good talk.

Call Xi Xi then; she’s not an outsider either.”

Ye Jinwen paused, as though he’d grasped a glimmer of hope, “What do you mean?

Do you agree to cancel the engagement?”

“Tomorrow noon, at the Shen Family’s.” Tang Wenhui didn’t respond to Ye Jinwen’s question.

She decisively said that and then left.

Ye Jinwen turned and immediately called Ya Ling.

Ya Ling was not as optimistic as Ye Jinwen.

She couldn’t figure out the intentions of the Ye Family, but since they already knew she was alive, it was necessary for her to meet this foster mother who had raised her.

Ya Ling readily agreed to this and didn’t forget to send a text to Lu Mian.

[Tomorrow noon I’ll go to the Shen Family’s, and I don’t know if I’ll be able to learn something about my parents from Mrs.

Ye.]

Lu Mian replied: [Be careful in everything.]

After returning from Yulan Pavilion, Yun Sang excused himself from lunch with the team, claiming he felt unwell and sneakily slipped away.

Zhou Xin found him with a smile.

“S God, feeling unwell?”

Zhou Xin spoke kindly.

He was the type of man that was gentle and meticulous, quite fitting for the role of a team leader.

Yun Sang rubbed his belly, “Yeah, team leader, I’m feeling a bit off.”

Zhou Xin had already understood and watched him dispassionately continue his act.

Yun Sang was even feeling a bit down, thinking how indifferent the team leader could be when his captain was unwell!

“Did you overeat?” Zhou Xin asked with concern.

“How could that be, I didn’t eat anything for lunch!” Yun Sang protested, raising his handsome eyebrows in denial.

Zhou Xin didn’t waste words.

He handed him a piece of paper, “It seems the hamburgers outside indeed aren’t clean, eating them causes stomachache.

S God, this is your diet and fitness plan for this week.

Keep it up!”

Yun Sang, listening to his words, took the piece of paper and looked it over, then became angry.

Damn!

Who leaked the information?!

Who had snitched to the team leader?!

He stared at the bland diet on the paper and at the physical training schedule that was twice the normal workload.

Yun Sang hated the snitch with a passion.

He returned to his room dejectedly and after turning on the computer, a chat window popped up.

The mere sight of Huan Yan’s name was enough to annoy Yun Sang.

He squinted his eyes, languidly opening the chat window.

Huan Yan: “S God, how’s the progress on the competition for finding the mysterious person number thirteen?”

There was also a very contemptuous emoji following that.

Yun Sang, feeling annoyed, replied with one word: “Scram.”

Seeing Yun Sang annoyed seemed to bring joy to Huan Yan, who hurriedly sent over another string of text.

“S God, are you still completely clueless?

I won’t hide it from you, I’ve already roughly pinpointed the country where number thirteen is located.”

Yun Sang: “…”

Huan Yan: “Considering the Shadow Hunting Team’s worrying strength, I might as well give you a heads up.

Number thirteen is in Z Country, they just showed up this morning.

I’m pretty thoughtful, right?

I even tell you this.

The rest is up to you to figure out.”

Yun Sang didn’t know what to say, and surprisingly praised Huan Yan.

“Bro, you are quite thoughtful.”

Even though it was clear that the other side was just showing off and provoking, Yun Sang still genuinely gave them a compliment.

Unlike him, who already knew who number thirteen was and where they were, yet refused to say a single word about it.

He really wasn’t very loyal.

Sigh…

It feels like there’s no sense of achievement in winning by just lying around.

The next day at noon, at the Shen Family’s home.

Today was the day for the Shen Family and Ye Family to sit down together for a discussion, and the Shen Family had prepared a sumptuous lunch early on, waiting for the Ye Family’s arrival.

Shen Juntao, the father of the family, also took the rare opportunity to lay aside the mess of issues in the company and stayed at home.

Shen Yihe and Shen Yixin didn’t go out either.

Shen Yiyao, who usually had nothing to do, had become busier these last two days, and no one knew what she was up to.

Before noon, Ye Jinwen’s father, Ye Qingsui, and Tang Wenhui drove over.

When the two were not at home, they exuded a strong academic aura, the kind that clearly indicated they were deeply knowledgeable and devoted to intensive research.

The Ye Family had been practicing medicine for generations and were considered an Xinglin Aristocratic Family.

By the time it reached Ye Qingsui’s generation, he had expanded upon the original medical business and diversified, which raised the Ye Family’s status amongst many families even higher.

These days, who wouldn’t want to form a good relationship with a doctor?

Moreover, the Ye Family controlled the nation’s medical pulse and possessed a large number of scientific research patents, thus having extensive resources.

In terms of wealth, they might not compare to other families, but in the field of biomedical science, no one could rival them.

This was also why the Ye Family became one of the three Supreme Clans.

Upon the arrival of Ye Qingsui and Tang Wenhui, everyone in the Shen Family, except for Shen Yiyao, came out to welcome them, acting as though the annulment had never happened and everything was as it should be between the two families.

Shen Yixin, with her head down, smiled helplessly and tiredly as she received the two adults who had nearly become her in-laws.

And Tang Wenhui, upon seeing such a sensible Shen Yixin, had a face full of gratification.

Shen Yixin might have lost the use of her left hand, but she was definitely better than Ye Lingxi!

“By the way, where’s Jinwen?” Huang Lijun looked around but didn’t find Ye Jinwen.

Tang Wenhui hesitated for a moment, “He’s gone to pick up Ye Lingxi.

I’ve also asked Xi Xi to come over today, to have a chat together.”

The Shen couple exchanged glances.

Shen Yixin’s calm expression softened further.

Only Ye Qingsui remained.

Initially sitting and sipping tea with a smile, his expression abruptly changed upon hearing the name “Ye Lingxi.”

The teacup slipped and fell onto the teatable.

The tea splashed everywhere.
