They didn't wait long. On their way back after packing up the barbecue, Sheng Hanyu's phone started ringing.
He gestured for Ye Sanqing to take the packing bag, then answered the phone and said, "Wait a moment, I'll call you back in five minutes."
There seemed to be something said on the other end, but Sheng Hanyu didn't pay attention and hung up immediately.
"Cheng Yanye?"
"No, it's Lu Wangshen."
"what?"
Sheng Hanyu said helplessly, "He said Ye Wanyin was sending him a message... asking if we were making any moves."
"So, she's testing him?" Ye Sanqing glanced at the time. "He seems quite free. I thought he and Lu Mingye were busy."
"There's something odd about what you're saying..."
"No doubt about it, it's just a bit strange, because I always make sarcastic remarks about them. But with Ye Wanyin's actions, I have to suspect that she's planning to do two things at once."
"You mean, she actually believes what I said and is now looking for a way out, and her first choice is Lu Wangshen? But Lu Wangshen's fate is still unknown to the outside world. It doesn't seem very smart of her to do this."
"It's normal that she's not smart. If she suddenly became smart, that would be a world-shaking event. It's good that she's not smart, because she's just fallen into our hands. If she were to go looking for some backup options that we don't know about, there would probably be trouble later."
"Okay. Let's take the elevator first."
Back in Ye Sanqing's suite, Sheng Hanyu went to get some ice-cold beer, opened it, and handed a bottle to Ye Sanqing.
"This is the best drink in the summer."
"It's not summer yet, it's more like the transition between spring and summer... It's not bad, it's quite refreshing anyway." Ye Sanqing tested the temperature and took a sip. "It goes well with barbecue, but I'm not really used to drinking it on its own."
"What?"
"There are too many bubbles, I'd rather drink cola."
Sheng Hanyu looked at her in surprise, and Ye Sanqing added the second half of the sentence, "Add some strong liquor."
"That's more like it, but that doesn't really go well with barbecue. If you want to have some cocktails tonight, you should get some cold-cut ham slices and a fruit platter to go with it."
"This sounds like it would pair well with white wine."
"That goes well with seafood, you can give it a try."
"Alright, let's get down to business."
"Okay, I'll call Lu Wangshen back first. Cheng Yanye seems to be a bit slow."
“It’s normal for him to be slow. Even if Ye Wanyin goes to Lu Wangshen first and Lu Wangshen doesn’t respond, Ye Wanyin will definitely keep bothering him for a while.”
"He could be considered as Ye Wanyin's potential partner, and the thought of that makes me chuckle."
Sheng Hanyu said, "At the time, we had no choice but to let him repair his relationship with Ye Wanyin, but we didn't expect the situation to change now..."
"It's normal for things to change. It would be strange if it only revolved around those two. Overall, this time it was affected by Lu Wangqian's actions." Ye Sanqing drank his wine and ate his barbecue, waiting for Sheng Hanyu to finish making the call.
“As expected,” Sheng Hanyu said, the call went very quickly, lasting only a few minutes. “After it ended, I heard that Ye Wanyin sent a lot of worried messages, saying she wanted to contact her. However, her tone was that of an older sister-in-law, and she didn’t mention their ambiguous relationship.”
"Her move was actually quite profitable. Regardless of whether the other party is dead or not, there's nothing wrong with what she said."
"Lu Wangshen thinks so too, and he's been very enthusiastic, saying that he should definitely be called in if there's any action to be taken..."
"I think he's really bored." Ye Sanqing immediately sent a message to Lu Mingye: [Don't let your brother be so idle.]
Lu Mingye replied with a question mark, which Ye Sanqing ignored, and continued talking to Sheng Hanyu, "Where's Cheng Yanye? Contact him now."
"Okay. I'll put it on speakerphone."
When Sheng Hanyu called, the person on the other end sounded flustered as soon as they answered, "Brother Sheng, what happened? How could this be?"
"Why do you call me brother? I remember I'm younger than you."
“That’s not important!” Cheng Yanye trembled. “I did as you said, contacted her and asked how she was doing. Then I mentioned the thing online and asked if she needed help dealing with it.”
"Well done, what next?"
“She…” Cheng Yanye continued in a panic, “suddenly started pouring out her marital troubles! Why do I have to hear this? I don’t want to know the details between her and her husband!”
"Which part is detailed?" Ye Sanqing suddenly asked.
"...Master Ye? You're here too? That's great! You all know what I mean!" Cheng Yanye felt inexplicably relieved. "I'm not a marriage counselor, so what she's saying to me is useless."
"Do you want to know why she told you this?" Sheng Hanyu asked, though he didn't really intend to make things easy for Cheng Yanye. "Because she wants to find another job."
"What did you say... Oh, oh, oh!" Cheng Yanye seemed to suddenly understand. "No wonder, I said her attitude was so strange, not like a married person! Her tone was like when I was still dating her, but the content was about her marital problems... It's very weird, you know?"
"Do you have any ideas?" Ye Sanqing asked.
"What thoughts could I possibly have? I feel like I've been tortured to the point of being skinned alive by her during this period. In just six months, I've suffered more than I've suffered in half my entire life. There's absolutely no way I'll continue to be involved with her. Please rest assured, organization!"
“There is no such organization. I was just respecting your opinion.” Ye Sanqing smiled and gestured for Sheng Hanyu to continue.
"Okay, after she finished speaking, did she answer your question?"
"Help! You guys, boss, big shot, I really need help! You're not going to abandon me, are you? I was just following orders when I contacted her, but I don't want to have this terrifying experience again."
Sheng Hanyu looked at Ye Sanqing and shook her head slightly.
"No. But don't get your hopes up too high. I can only say that you won't die unless you do something stupid. Answer the question quickly."
"Honestly, Cheng Yanye, if you don't answer soon, I'll start to suspect that your brain has degenerated," Ye Sanqing said seriously.
"Wow, don't hit me! Here's the thing, I was pretty scared after hearing what she said, and then she told me it was a misunderstanding online, that she hadn't been touched by any other man. I thought to myself..."
The three of them remained silent for a while.
Let's not even mention Lu Wangshen; Lu Wangqian wasn't a man after all.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, did she say how to resolve it?" Sheng Hanyu asked again.
"She sounded like she was in her car on the phone just now, and then she told me she had to go and hung up..."
"Okay, I got it. That's all for now, let's keep in touch..."
Before Cheng Yanye could even relax, he heard Sheng Hanyu say, "What I mean is, you should stay in touch with her."
"save……"
Sheng Hanyu hung up the phone and asked Ye Sanqing, "What do we say now?"
"Eat first, then go to sleep." Ye Sanqing shrugged. "It's good that things are going smoothly. Tell Second Brother to make other preparations, and we'll see what happens tomorrow morning."
"it is good."
