The explosion at Third Young Master Ye’s house was sensational. The coverage on their family had been too high, and any sensational news like this would definitely hit the headlines.

GK International Media claimed that the attack was revenge from a rival family. The guards’ description of the massive python and the leveled mansion made for very sensational reporting materials. By directing the narrative in the direction Third Young Master Ye hoped for, GK International Media was almost certainly Third Young Master Ye’s spokesperson.

The most sensational news was Cheng Anya’s hospitalization.

Third Young Master Ye could not conceal this piece of news. After all, the media had been curious about the mysterious mother and son that he had revealed. Reporters, frantically digging for news, swarmed the hospital.

“I will shut down whoever dares to report on it!” Third Young Master Ye challenged them out of irritation several floors below.

Nobody dared to take the viciousness in Third Young Master Ye’s statement and the coldness emanating from him lightly. One should also know that Third Young Master Ye had forced a pornographic magazine outlet to shut down in a day—all because a reporter used the terms ‘mistress’ and ‘illegitimate son’ that earned his displeasure.

Given that his woman’s fate lay in the balance, challenging Third Young Master Ye’s temper was not a good decision.

The presidents of the various media outlets weighed the pros and cons and recalled their reporters with extreme urgency. This was no laughing matter as it was way easier for Third Young Master Ye to screw over an enterprise than squish an ant.

Besides, he did not screw them over in the shadows, but instead above board. Nobody could afford to trifle with Third Young Master Ye.

It was once thought that press reports were nothing more than harmless post-meal gossip fodder that he had no qualms with. With the existence of the media outlets in question, this was no longer an apples-to-apples comparison.

Hence, the reporters besieging the hospital all dispersed in less than ten minutes.

The hospital quieted down a lot thereafter.

Ning Ning checked Huang Yunlong’s immigration records and surprisingly realized that he had no records. However, records showed that he had checked into a hotel in New Delhi in the past week. The little young kid bit his lip and narrowed his eyes.

Given that there were no immigration records, could he have used another identity? If not, he must have flown on a personal jet!

He could not have grown wings and flew to India, right?

It was less than two days.

The young kid bit his lips and pondered.

“What’s up?” Ye Chen saw the young kid solemnly biting his lip and not mentioning a word.

“Daddy, look. I suspect he brought this massive python from India.” Ning Ning passed the computer to Ye Chen and pulled out the information he discovered. “Look, Huang Yunlong was a snake-tamer and took a special liking to this massive python. He once reared a six-meter long python…”

There must be information to be found because computers were not omnipotent.

Ye Chen took a detailed look at the information. “Who would want to go through so many hoops to just murder a person? And spent so much effort as well!” Ye Chen’s gaze sunk and he asked in a deep tone.

In Third Young Master Ye’s impression, killing somebody merely involved pulling the trigger. Who would spend so much effort!

Ning Ning smiled gently, his innocent face like an ice sculpture. “Murder by pythons could be attributed to a freak incident. If Daddy wants to investigate further, the typical assassination will raise too many suspicions. Besides, Mommy only has a leg and couldn’t outrun the snake. She would definitely perish, and all the perpetrator needed for murder by snake was to steal the surveillance camera footage before we could retrieve it. With that footage lost, we would not be able to get any proof, no?”

There were so many excuses for such an incident!

But nobody expected his mommy to quickly waste this massive python!

Man proposes, God disposes.

“The other person was clearly out to kill your mommy!” Third Young Master Ye’s eyebrows became even more knitted. They were intimately familiar with the family’s daily routine and knew that he and Ning Ning were out during the day. Since Cheng Anya was the only person in the house, they were definitely going for her.

Who would want Cheng Anya’s life?

His old man? Or…

Suspects were obviously easy to shortlist. However one pondered, one could not go further than those few people. Ye Chen’s face blackened as a storm built up in his dark gaze. This was the second time Cheng Anya was targeted for murder!

Luck was never a good thing that could always protect her.

Ye Chen vexingly held his head. His heart ached and he had a terrible feeling—he was the cause of everything.

“Daddy!” Ning Ning’s tender hands held Ye Chen. “I am sure Mommy would not blame you, and neither would I, as these were due to the mistakes of others, not yours.” There was warmth in his voice.

By character, Ning Ning was one to shield one’s shortcomings.

Although his mommy was badly wounded and had to be hospitalized, he felt as bad too. He also knew that people were after his mommy because of his daddy. But he did not blame Ye Chen. Instead, he…

Whoever the murderer was, it would not be as simple as dealing with Ye Yutang!

“Thank you, baby!” Third Young Master Ye held Ning Ning’s hands and laughed. Seeing his baby child happy, he turned to look at the operating theatre. “Whoever it is, let Daddy handle this for once! Okay?”

“Okay!” Ning Ning nodded as he looked at Ye Chen.

“Good boy!” Ye Chen hugged Ning Ning lovingly. He did not want Ning Ning to intervene as he wanted to serve justice on Anya’s behalf. It did not mean that he would relent and allow the incident to slide. Third Young Master Ye’s sense of pity was hard to come by.

He reserved his remaining tenderness for Cheng Anya and Ning Ning. Everybody else only witnessed his coldness and decisiveness.

The operation was not as complicated and long-drawn as the previous operation. Cheng Anya mostly suffered external wounds and was out of the operating theatre within an hour, and was sent to the VIP ward.

Before the anesthetic wore out, she quietly slept. Her pallor was heart-wrenching. By her side, Ning Ning held her hands. To be admitted twice in the span of a month was tough for his mommy.

“Daddy, the rebuilding of the house should start soon. If not, we would end up on the streets!” Ning Ning teasingly said. “Mommy loves the house.”

“It will be built before she is discharged!” Ye Chen laughed and promised.

Ye Chen’s cell phone rang. “Do you have a result?” he asked coldly as he walked to the window.

Ning Ning could feel the ambiance around Ye Chen become colder. It was as though there was an actual web that froze around him. One could feel the murderous intent and brutality Ye Chen emanated as though he was an Asura from hell.

“Are you sure?” His voice was as cold as a cutting knife. “I know. Get Xiaoyu to the hospital!”

The other party acquiesced and Ye Chen hung up the phone. His veins were throbbing as he held the phone, almost crushing it. Ye Chen was trying to hide the anger in him.

After a moment, he turned around. Ye Chen gave a cold look and said, “Baby, Daddy is going out for a moment!”

“Okay!”

As Ning Ning laughed, Ye Chen walked out of the ward. Grabbing a nurse, he coldly asked, “Which ward is Yun Ruoxi in?”
