"But have you found him? Did you get the antidote?" Ye Wei asked anxiously.
Gong Mochen's lips twitched. "We haven't found him yet. Even if we did, he wouldn't be able to make the antidote if he wasn't willing to do it."
His mind had been scheming the whole time. He was certain that the fake death of Yan Fei's father and Cheng Yi's true death were the masterpieces of that person. If the medicine was His Highness Yu's doing, then it could only mean that Yu was in cahoots with that person... that man. This was more difficult to deal with than he thought it ever could be!
If His Highness Yu was working with the person that wanted Qin Sheng and him dead, how could he get Yu to hand over an antidote?
If he wanted the antidote, he had to have something that could threaten His Highness Yu.
"I've been asking around my colleagues recently. It's said that Yu is very eccentric. But I know this person loves money and places great importance on money," Ye Wei said.
"Money?" Gong Mochen muttered. "Thank you. I got it."
Money was the least of his problems. If money could be used to solve this dilemma, that would be the best solution.
"I'll continue to help you inquire about Highness Yu. You can ask Nie Feng to send me back to the private clinic now," Ye Wei said.
Gong Mochen looked out of the window. "It's getting late. Let's have dinner together."
Ye Wei's heart skipped a beat. This was the first time Gong Mochen had suggested that the two of them go on a date!
Her head was lowered slightly and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. "Okay, yes, let's have dinner..."
Nie Feng sent Gong Mochen and Ye Wei to a luxurious restaurant and drove away.
Ye Wei was dazzled by the crystal lights in the restaurant. "You don't have to spend so much money on me. I'm not picky when it comes to food."
The prices here were as shocking as the decorations.
"It's okay. The food here is delicious. Sit." Gong Mochen found a seat by the window and casually ordered a few dishes from the waiter.
Ye Wei gasped. Lobster Shashi, grilled beef, grilled pine mushrooms, Italian lasagne, and seafood soup. There were other things, but her brain couldn't process so many dishes.
The corners of her lips curved up uncontrollably. If a man was willing to spend so much money on a woman, what did that mean?
"Actually, I like to eat light dishes. It's too wasteful to order so many greasy dishes," she said.
Gong Mochen seemed to have thought of something and chuckled, "Don't worry, I can't waste the meat. I ordered a vegetable salad and roasted pine nuts for you. They should suit your taste."
Ye Wei pursed her lips and slowly drank the lemonade, hoping that their time together would last a little longer than usual. Thankfully, the dishes seemed to be served very slowly.
After a long time, the stunned Yan Fei was woken up by the workers. It was not for anything else, but because the workers wanted to give her her father's ashes.
She held the ashes and walked towards her brother. Yan Yu was still pinching Cui Yan, trying to save their mother, who had passed out.
Finally, Cui Yan let out a long breath and woke up. She got up from the ground and slapped her daughter. "You b*tch of a liar! How can you still have the nerve to live? Your hands are stained with your father's blood! Why didn't you say anything? Go to hell!"
She pushed Yan Fei towards the furnace.
Yan Fei lips made a straight line as she pushed her mother back. "What do you want me to say? Do you know that if I had said the truth just now, this box would be filled with the ashes of the four of us?"
She roared angrily. She had thought that with the help of the silver-masked man, she would have saved her father. How could they have achieved this result?
The silver-masked man had found someone who'd provided her with two kinds of medicine. Then he'd told her give it to Xiao Bin. One was to give her father a fake death, and the other was to give Cheng Yi a real death. But sadly the plan had gone awry thanks to Gong Mochen! God, how she hated Gong Mochen! Revenge, she wanted sweet revenge!
Cui Yan and Yan Yu were both stunned by Yan Fei's words.
Yan Yu wrapped an arm around his mum. "Mom, don't listen to her nonsense!"
"I'm talking nonsense? Did you know that The Seductive Night Club is my business now? Do you believe me?'' Yan Fei said.
"What did you say?'' Yan Yu was instantly dumbfounded. The assets of that night club were worth hundreds of millions, while his company was only worth a few million.
"If you don't believe me, then bring Mom to my place every month to get the living expenses paid!" Yan Fei placed the ashes in Cui Yan's arms. "Go back and bury my father properly."
Cui Yan finally reacted and said, "Daughter, you're so capable! Mom will depend on you from now on! Tell Mom, what's going on? Did you hook up with a rich husband?"
"Big Brother trusts you, Big Brother also depends on you! Please find a few projects for Big Brother!" Yan Yu also changed tact, his attitude towards Yan Fei switching as quick as a flash.
"It's not a rich husband, but someone who is willing to give it to me. From now on, the Yan family will listen to me, and I will be the master of the Yan family," Yan Fei said.
"Okay, sister has the ability. Brother is willing to give it to you; you will be the head of the Yan family!" Yan Yu did not have any objections. As long as a few projects could be given to him to make money, he did not care who was the master of the Yan family.
Yan Fei smiled sinisterly. From now on, the Yan family would be hers. "Just you wait and see. I will make Gong Mochen regret what happened today!"
"Daughter, what do you want to do?" Cui Yan asked.
Yan Fei glared at her mother and raised her proud chin. "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. I'm leaving. Let my brother take you home."
She strode out of the door. She wouldn't forget about her father's life, but she wisely chose to lie low and wait for that person to take revenge for her.
***
Ye Wei, who was still in the restaurant, had already drunk countless cups of lemonade. The sour lemonade was really appetizing, and she was hungry after drinking it.
She was a little curious as to why no one had served the dishes for such a long time.
"Uncle! I'm here!" A voice sounded from outside the door, followed by a girl who skipped in.
Qin Sheng threw herself at Gong Mochen and plunged into his arms.
Gong Mochen didn't move and let the girl hug his neck. He ran his big hand through the girl's messy hair and wiped the fine sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief. "Why are you here? You're sweating. Be Good, don't move. You'll catch a cold if you don't wipe it clean."
Qin Sheng shook her little head in the man's arms. "It's okay. It'll be dry soon. I was just afraid that you'd be lonely."
She sat up and looked at the woman who was sitting opposite them.
The woman was very delicate and pretty. There was no make-up on her face. From the inside out, she was exuding a single word: Quiet. She was so quiet that one could almost treat her as scenery.
"Uncle, who is she?" Qin Sheng asked. Besides Qin Zixian, this was the first female she had seen beside Gong Mochen in so many years.
"I'm Ye Wei, your uncle's doctor. You're Qin Sheng, right? I'm two years younger than your uncle. I'll treat you as my niece too." Ye Wei smiled kindly.
Qin Sheng's little face darkened. What did she mean by treating her as her niece?
Was this Ye Wei reminding her that she was only her uncle's niece? Nothing more?
"You're welcome. Since you're my uncle's doctor, then it's lovely to meet you." Suddenly, she thought of something. "What illness does my uncle have?"
