“She has the video and we’ll have her lewd pictures, that’ll be fair!”
Su Anqi’s statement rendered the crowd silent but they acknowledged it to be a good idea after some thought.
Fang Yuan started clapping her hands in agreement, “You are so smart! Special means are required to control a nasty wench like her!”
Chu Chu also raised her hand in agreement, “That’s right! We’ll see whether Young Master Yi will still side with her when we show him her lewd photos!”
Even Chu Piaoyun did not object and agreed coldly, “That works, too! She would be fine if she could resist the temptation but if she is loose in morals and liked men, it’s her own fault! She would stop stirring up trouble using the clip if we have something against her!”
“That is a great idea, but…” Chu Chu was very eager to the idea as she was desperate for Yi Liangze to know that He Yi was a promiscuous woman and realize the good in an innocent woman like her. “Who should do it?”
Su Anqi chuckled as the crowd was deep in thought. She pointed at Fang Yu who was scrolling his phone uninterestedly and said, “Fang Yu is a one in a million, good-looking guy. He’s handsome, rich, intelligent, and funny! I’m sure that no woman can resist him!”
“Cough.” Almost dropping his phone onto the carpet, Fang Yu looked up to stare at Su Anqi, “Aunt, you are obsessed to come up with such a bad idea. I’m a man of honor, do you think that I’m that kind of guy who would seduce a good woman?”
Chu Chu burst into laughter and applauded. “Brother Yu has always been the most handsome guy in his class and he is popular for being attractive! We will definitely have He Yi if it’s him, it’s settled!”
“No way!” Fang Yu objected firmly. “I’m not doing that!”
Fang Yuan blinked and tried to persuade him, “We’re not asking you to have actual intercourse with her, we only want you to get lewd photos! This is the perfect opportunity for you to test your attractiveness, you’ll be contributing a lot if you succeed!”
Chu Piaoyun finally spoke after being silent for some time as they argued and gave orders to her son. “You will handle this matter! Remember to keep your nose clean and not give in to the temptation!”
Fang Yu had to oblige with his mother’s orders. He replied exasperatedly, “Fine! I’ll sacrifice my good looks to put on a show for her, then! You have to reward me well when it gets done!”

The executives’ basement parking lot of Kai Kun International Group’s principal office was located in a skyscraper.
It was almost nighttime when he finished his work for the day. Yi Liangze and his assistant slash secretary, Bai Li took his personal lift to the parking lot and walked to his car swiftly.
Chi had been waiting for him in the car for half an hour. When he saw Yi Liangze, he wanted to say something but he ended up not.
Yi Liangze remembered a document that he forgot to take and he asked Bai Li to get it from the CEO’s office. Chi aimed the opportunity and got off the car hurriedly to Yi Liangze before whispering something to his ear.
Yi Liangze did not pay much attention at the beginning, but his dark eyes bulged with disbelief as Chi talked and he exclaimed, “What did you just say?”
Chi took out a few photos and a stack of documents hurriedly. “Old Lady Yi and Lady Yi had someone investigating her. I saw the girl with my own eyes, she does look similar to Bao Bao!”
Yi Liangze took the photos and documents and fell into shock as he read.
He never put much attention to his grandmother and mother’s drama and he did not expect them to find out anything significant. Yet, truth always lies in unexpected places.
The girl in the photos looked to be of similar age with Bao Bao and they had extremely similar features, even the energy between her eyes looked similar. They looked like twins.
“She’s the daughter of Chu Tianyi and He Yi!” Yi Liangze was taken by surprise. His belief for many years was rebutted and he was caught off guard.
“Lady Yi gave me an order to ask the doctor to get a blood sample from Wan Wan when she went to the clinic. It is sent to a DNA test center,” added Chi.
Yi Liangze exhaled slowly, he was overwhelmed with emotions and he could not calm himself despite all the tricks and changes he experienced in the business industry which never affected him. “When will the test results be out?”
“Within a week!” Chi noticed Bai Li’s return and ended the conversation hurriedly as it concerned the Yi family’s privacy. “I will bring you the result first!”
Yi Liangze lit a cigarette as he muttered to himself. He took a puff of it and exhaled slowly. There was gloominess in his hollow eyes and his thoughts were unreadable.
It was dead silence throughout the ride. Yi Liangze put out the cigarette when he reached the wine party venue. He took out his phone and dialed a number, “Find out everything about He Yi and send me her detailed information before the event ends!”
Bai Li followed Yi Liangze after getting off the car and headed to the party.
The host of the party came hurriedly to give Young Master Yi a warm greeting upon his arrival.
Yi Liangze was the spotlight of the crowd as usual. Bai Li knew her place as his secretary and took a few steps away from him.
She took out her phone to send a text when no one was paying attention. “Young Master Yi asked someone to investigate about He Yi!”

Being sad was a luxury to He Yi as she was extremely busy.
She contacted the agency company to set a time for interviews the next day and assigned Wei Jiameng to go to Fu Xing Leather Factory the next day for a hygiene inspection as she asked the agency company to get housekeepers to clean up the factory before the other employees start working officially.
Besides, He Yi replaced some old furniture and equipment with new ones and they would arrive the next day so a person would be required to check and accept them. Since Ji Xueshan had to follow He Yi to the agency company for the interviews, the tasks of hygiene inspection and accepting shipment fell on Wei Jiameng.
Ji Xueshan had no problems with that as she would oblige anything ordered by He Yi without any complaints. On the contrary, Wei Jiameng could not bear the heavy responsibility as she was pampered and spoiled since young.
“Goodness, I don’t know anything!” Helplessness and anxiety were clear on Wei Jiameng’s face. “He Yi, you have to go with me!”
He Yi gave her a resigned smile and said, “I asked you because I don’t have time! You only need to sign to accept the delivery and count the numbers. The furniture and machines have a warranty so the amount is the only concern. As for the hygiene inspection, you can take photos and send them to me. I will ask you to instruct the housekeepers to clean the factory again if it’s not up to my satisfaction.”
Wei Jiameng was still worried. “You’re assigning me to too many things… He Yi, I’m worried that I won’t do well!”
“Just try and learn, nobody knows everything from the start!” He Yi paused and continued in a serious tone, “Ge Ge is already four, it’s time for you to learn to be independent!”
“Uh…” Wei Jiameng blinked and muttered softly, “You said that you’ll take care of me!”
“Nobody can take care of you forever! What will you do if there comes a day when I go bankrupt or go to prison again? How about Ge Ge?” He Yi had to harden herself to burst Wei Jiameng’s bubble despite knowing that it was a little harsh to her. “Jiameng, you should rely on yourself instead of others!”
He Yi was brainwashing Wei Jiameng while arranging her tasks for the next day. She placed her notebook down to stretch her body when her phone rang.
She took out her phone and was surprised as Yi Liangze was calling her.
