Chapter 61: Chapter 0061 Mysterious Yellow Liquid_1
 

After delivering Wang Tong’s family of three to their new villa, the group roamed around the house.

“Wang Tong, you and Aunt Wang take a look around, I want to have a chat with your sister,” Ye Xiong instructed.

“Okay, Ye Xiong.”

Once they had left, Ye Xiong’s gaze fell on Wang Shu, staring at her intently.

“What do you want with me?” Wang Shu asked, feeling guilty.

“Do you know why I gave Wang Tong a house worth millions?” Ye Xiong sat on the leather sofa and asked indifferently.

“Don’t know,” replied Wang Shu, shaking her head.

“When I first came to Jiangnan City, I was penniless and starving. It was your brother who gave me a bun at that time, and then introduced me to work as a cement worker on the construction site, which solved my food and clothing problem. The answer is that simple.”

Seeing Wang Shu didn’t say a word, Ye Xiong continued, “I don’t have many friends in Jiangnan. Wang Tong is one of the few I consider a true friend. I don’t know if you are really down on your luck or if you have some ulterior motive, but if you truly want to turn over a new leaf, Wang Tong would certainly be happy. However, if you have any other intentions and harm Wang Tong and Aunt Wang, let me make myself clear, I will absolutely not let you go.”

“One is my brother, the other my mother, how could I harm them?” Wang Shu quickly said.

“If that is true, then that’s for the best.”

“Is Mingyang International still hiring? I’m out of work right now and I don’t want my brother to support me. Any job would do, as long as I can get by,” Wang Shu suddenly asked.

“Mingyang International Hotel has already filled its positions; we’re not looking for anyone at the moment,” Ye Xiong flatly refused.

He didn’t keep those with ill intentions around him.

“Then, I’ve taken enough of your time,” replied Wang Shu politely.

“Tell Wang Tong I have something else to take care of and I must go first,” Ye Xiong said before leaving the villa.

After he left the villa, Wang Shu immediately took out her phone and dialed a number.

“Zhao Jun, Ye Xiong has given my brother a house worth a million. Now I’m living with them… Ye Xiong seems to have become suspicious of me. I asked him to arrange for me to work at Mingyang International Hotel, he refused… Zhao Jun, let’s just drop it, okay? I can’t provoke that guy, and besides, he’s been really good to my brother… Can you stop using this to threaten me… Fine, I promise you, I’ll find another opportunity to get close to him…”

By the side of the road, inside a car.

Ye Xiong, wearing earplugs, listened to Wang Shu’s conversation in the living room with crystal clear clarity.

Before leaving just now, he had planted a bugging device under the sofa, wanting to see what kind of person Wang Shu was. Now that he had listened in, his suspicions were confirmed; his eyes flashed with a cold gleam.

Nature is hard to change.

From the moment he first saw Wang Shu, he knew she wasn’t genuinely remorseful, and she wasn’t just down on her luck—but had an agenda. From the phone call, he could tell that someone was using her as a pawn against him.

It looked like He Haodong’s dirty tricks.

In Jiangnan City, apart from him, no one else bore such hatred towards him.

Taking out the earplugs, Ye Xiong started the car.

Small pawns like Wang Shu didn’t concern him; it was the person behind her he needed to be wary of.

You can block an open spear, but an arrow shot in secret is harder to defend against. Now that he knew Wang Shu intended to harm him, there was nothing to worry about.

Before picking up Yang Xinyi, Ye Xiong went to the service center to have the car maintained, otherwise, knowing his wife’s penchant for cleanliness, if she found out he used her vehicle to pick up people from the countryside, it would be difficult to borrow it again in the future.

Returning to Xinyi Group, it was just after six o’clock in the evening. Ye Xiong went straight to Yang Xinyi’s office and saw her still busy at work. He knocked on the door and said with a smile, “Wife, it’s time to get off work.”

“When we’re at the company, don’t call me wife,” Yang Xinyi glanced at him with raised eyebrows before continuing to work.

“And at home?”

“Whatever.”

“Then I guess I’ll just head home and call out!” Ye Xiong laughed, sitting to one side to wait for Yang Xinyi to finish her work.

Today, Yang Xinyi wore a professional short-sleeved blouse, with a white gold necklace peeking out from the V-neck, featuring a diamond of lake blue that clearly was quite expensive.

When she worked, she was extremely focused, and this earnest appearance was filled with an intellectual beauty.

However, she had a habit that left Ye Xiong utterly speechless.

Yang Xinyi had long hair that she brushed aside while walking, so it wouldn’t block her vision, but when she was working and looking down, a strand of hair would occasionally fall in front of her face.

At those times, she would frequently flick away the hair obstructing her view.

Ye Xiong counted, and in just one minute, she had brushed the hair aside more than ten times.

God, this foolish woman! Couldn’t she just tuck that strand behind her ears?

After Yang Xinyi finished her work, seeing Ye Xiong staring at her intently, she placed her pen on the desk and scowled, “Do you realize that staring at someone like that is very rude?”

“I’ve seen you without any clothes on, so what’s there to look at when you’re dressed?” Ye Xiong retorted.

No sooner had he spoken than a folder flew at him fiercely.

Ye Xiong slipped out quickly, and the folder slammed against the door.

Peeking out from behind the door, Ye Xiong smiled and said, “Wife, humans are like iron, food is like steel; without eating, how can you have the strength to work? Why don’t we go eat something first then come back and work overtime slowly?”

“Wait another twenty minutes,” Yang Xinyi said flatly.

Ye Xiong had no choice but to loiter around aimlessly. After wandering around for a bit, it was already seven o’clock, and Yang Xinyi still hadn’t called him.

“Such a workaholic.”

Ye Xiong, speechless, just found a place to continue waiting.

Out of utter boredom, he took out a bottle of yellow liquid and toyed with it.

It was a thumb-sized test tube filled with a yellow substance, resembling yellow mud, the same color as Yan Li’s eyes after his transformation.

That day, after crippling Yan Li, who had transformed, Ye Xiong searched him hoping to find something about his identity. To his surprise, he found nothing apart from this small bottle of liquid.

It was after injecting this liquid into his body that Yan Li started transforming into a giant.

Holding the bottle, Ye Xiong inspected it closely, hoping to discern something, but unfortunately, after looking at it for a long time, he still saw no text on the bottle, making it seem like some kind of unbranded counterfeit medicinal injection.

“This stuff allowed Yan Li to transform, it’s definitely not ordinary. If I were still with Dragon Soul, I could pass it to the tech department for analysis to identify the ingredients.”

“But now, I’m no longer part of Dragon Soul, and there’s no need to go back,” murmured Ye Xiong to himself.

Right then, his phone rang; it was Yang Xinyi calling.

“This workaholic is finally done,” Ye Xiong muttered as he put away the yellow liquid and took out his phone to answer.

“Go to Fenghua Hotel and pick up two meals to bring back. I’ve already ordered; you can just go and pick them up. I still have some things to finish and need to work overtime a bit longer,” Yang Xinyi said from the other end.

Ye Xiong glanced at the time, it was already half-past seven. If they were to eat now and head home, it would be after nine, and after a shower, it’d be ten. If they were a real married couple, a quick romp and then sleep would be perfect.

“This habit needs to change.”

Instead of fetching meals, Ye Xiong headed straight for Yang Xinyi’s office.
