"Young master, no matter who I once was, now I'm just a housekeeper for the Qin Family," Aunt Wu said in an incredibly weary voice.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tianfan enveloped Aunt Wu with a chilling killing intent, so intense it felt tangible, as if at the slightest movement she would be blown to bits.
"Sigh!" Aunt Wu felt the killing intent, sighed softly, and said silently, "Back when I had nowhere to go, it was Elder Qin who took me in. To repay him, I chose to serve as a housekeeper, to protect the young lady's safety and look after her daily life."
Hearing this, Ye Tianfan reined in his killing intent slightly, then said with a somewhat difficult expression, "If it was to protect Qin Ruomeng's safety, then why didn't you protect her when she was swapped before?"
Aunt Wu's face instantly became awkward, and she hesitated, saying, "I'm very sorry about that. I failed to notice that the young lady was swapped. That was my mistake."
Ye Tianfan pondered for a moment, as if judging whether Aunt Wu was telling the truth.
"If that's the case, then you should train your skills more, so this doesn't happen again," Ye Tianfan said, only half believing her words.
"I will!" Aunt Wu responded respectfully.
Ye Tianfan nodded and left the Qin Villa.
Ye Tianfan initially intended to go to a bar, but his worry for Qin Ruomeng got the better of him, so he headed to the Qin Group instead.
Entering the front door of the Qin Group, Ye Tianfan found the atmosphere somewhat off; everyone seemed to be in a hurry.
Previously, when Ye Tianfan visited the Qin Group, the female employees would whisper about him.
But today, as he found upon revisiting, those female employees just glanced at him briefly before hurrying off.
Arriving at Qin Ruomeng's office, Ye Tianfan understood why everyone in the entire group was in such a rush. He saw a room full of documents, not only piled on the desk but also on the sofa and even on the floor, the stacks nearly engulfing Qin Ruomeng's petite figure.
Moreover, Qin Ruomeng's assistants were busy passing documents to her and distributing documents she approved to designated departments, as if their feet never touched the ground.
"Why is it so busy?"
Seeing Qin Ruomeng too busy to even glance at him, Ye Tianfan had to speak up.
Hearing the familiar voice, Qin Ruomeng looked up momentarily, found it was Ye Tianfan, then bowed her head again to continue handling the paperwork.
"Just find a place to sit," Qin Ruomeng said with her head down, "I don't have time to entertain you!"
After finishing her words, Qin Ruomeng received more documents from her assistants and started flipping through them.
Ye Tianfan felt a little helpless. He had anticipated Qin Ruomeng being busy, considering how many things had piled up these days, but he hadn't expected her to be this busy. Judging by the documents in her office, they wouldn't be finished today, and maybe not even in two or three days.
Knowing her speed at handling documents, Ye Tianfan roughly estimated that anyone else would probably collapse under the workload.
"Is there anything I can do?" Ye Tianfan asked.
After all, he was her husband, and seeing her so busy made him feel a bit heartbroken, so Ye Tianfan wanted to ask if there was anything he could help with.
"No need, these documents have to be processed by me personally, if I left them to you..." Qin Ruomeng looked up at Ye Tianfan for a moment, then continued with her head down, the second half of her sentence also reaching Ye Tianfan's ears: "I wouldn't be at ease."
"..." Ye Tianfan's lips twitched upon hearing this.
Alright, if you don't trust me, then I'll leave. I came to the Qin Group mainly out of concern for your health, but it seems you're fine.
"Okay then, I'll go. Call me if you need anything," Ye Tianfan said before turning and walking out the door.
Upon leaving Qin Ruomeng's office, Ye Tianfan took the elevator downstairs. As he reached the first floor and stepped out, someone else entered the elevator, and as they brushed past each other, Ye Tianfan felt a familiar sensation.
"Hmm?"
Ye Tianfan turned around in confusion to look at the person entering the elevator, but found that familiar feeling had vanished.
Shaking his head, Ye Tianfan muttered, "Did I feel it wrong?"
Then he dismissed the thought and turned to leave.
As Ye Tianfan left the Qin Group building, the sky was already darkening.
Ye Tianfan looked up at the Qin Group building, finding it already brightly lit, and sighed softly, "Looks like she'll be working late tonight."
Taking advantage of the still not fully dark sky, Ye Tianfan smoked a cigarette and walked down the street, planning to walk back to the bar.
"Hmm? That feeling again?"
While walking, someone suddenly brushed past him, and Ye Tianfan once again felt the same sensation he had felt upon leaving the elevator.
No, that person is someone I've met before. The thought flashed across Ye Tianfan's mind.
Watching as the person was about to disappear in the crowd, Ye Tianfan quickly pretended as if nothing happened and followed them.
Ye Tianfan trailed the person from afar, keeping his senses locked on their surroundings.
Ye Tianfan realized that the person was also skilled in counter-surveillance, frequently changing directions, blending into crowds, and entering underground parking lots.
After following for about an hour, Ye Tianfan arrived in front of a building, watching the person enter before he emerged from hiding.
He looked up at the building and found it was completely different from the Qin Group building, not in design but in work ethic.
At this time, the Qin Group's offices were still brightly lit, but this building was already dark and empty.
This is... Ye Tianfan saw the words on the building and his pupils shrank sharply.
Tianyu Group, this is the Tianyu Group building.
Why would that mysterious person come here?
Moreover, from the outside it seemed there was no one inside!
No, wait... if no one is inside, why would that mysterious person enter the building?
Could they be a thief?
No, it shouldn't be. That person entered through the building's lobby, which was lit and monitored, so it's impossible they were stealing!
Hold on, Ye Tianfan suddenly thought. Earlier, they entered the Qin Group building, and now this one. Could it be they stole some confidential documents from the Qin Group to hand over to an employer?
