Chapter 2770: Playing dumb while knowing the truth

The fact that the three great elders' plane turned back made Ye Chen feel the turning of the tide in his heart.

Facing the Routhless Society, although he was at an absolute disadvantage, he had been able to win repeatedly in several confrontations with them.

Now, the Routhless Society had not only lost a Dead Soldier station but also three counts. More importantly, this "Empty Fort Strategy" had already begun to make Wu Feiyan wary.

Ye Chen had speculated about Wu Feiyan's inner thoughts. Although they had never met, he could feel several major characteristics of this woman: one was that she was suspicious by nature, and the other was that she was extremely cautious.

If she weren't suspicious by nature, it would be impossible for her to only appoint people she trusted, with the core of the entire Routhless Society being in the hands of the Wu family;

If she weren't extremely cautious, it would be impossible for her to try so hard to hide her identity, fearing that outsiders would know who she was.

Therefore, the more she had this kind of personality, the less she dared to take a gamble.

It was precisely because of this that Ye Chen concluded that once Meng Changsheng's portrait was released, she would definitely not dare to come to Jin Ling again.

Ye Chen, who had breathed a sigh of relief, prepared to call Lin Wan'er to share the good news, so that she could feel more at ease.

But unexpectedly, just as he picked up his phone, Lin Wan'er's call came first.

Ye Chen answered the phone and heard Lin Wan'er say on the other end, "Young Master, I just discovered that a Boeing 777 that took off from Buenos Aires suddenly turned back! The three great elders must be on that plane, right?"

Ye Chen asked in surprise, "You were also paying attention to that plane?"

Lin Wan'er said, "Young Master, I have been paying attention to the flight situation in South America. After seeing it, I hurriedly called you. But it seems this call of mine was somewhat redundant; you had already noticed it yourself."

Ye Chen said with a smile, "Not redundant. Since both of us noticed the same plane, this proves even more that our guess is unlikely to be wrong. The three great elders must have been called back by Wu Feiyan."

Lin Wan'er giggled and said, "Young Master, you truly have a good strategy. After performing this 'Empty Fort Strategy,' not only did you resolve the immediate crisis, but you also made Wu Feiyan wary. Compared to Zhuge Liang's 'borrowing arrows with straw boats' back then, it is no less impressive!"

Ye Chen's face felt a bit hot, and he said, "Miss Lin, please don't praise me. Who am I to be compared with the venerable Mr. Zhuge?"

Lin Wan'er said earnestly, "In my heart, Zhuge Liang is not as good as you, Young Master. No matter how smart he was, he could not have had your strength."

As she spoke, Lin Wan'er didn't continue on this topic but asked Ye Chen, "What are your plans next, Young Master?"

Ye Chen said, "I don't have any plans for now. My grandfather's family is still in Jin Ling. I plan to meet them. After so many years of grievances, it's time to face them and speak clearly."

Lin Wan'er agreed, "Young Master, you really should go see them. From last night until now, I believe they have been waiting for you to appear again."

Ye Chen checked the time. It wasn't noon yet, so he said, "Yesterday's battle was indeed mentally exhausting. Now that Wu Feiyan has withdrawn the three great elders back to the Routhless Society's lair, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I'll rest well at home this afternoon and go see my grandfather's family tonight."

Lin Wan'er agreed, "From last night until now, you have experienced too much, Young Master. You really should rest well."

As she spoke, she said in a soft voice, "Since that's the case, I won't disturb your rest, Young Master. After you have handled the matters at hand, if you still want to see me, just contact me at any time."

Ye Chen said, "I'll go to the half-mountain villa in Champs-Élysées to see my grandfather and grandmother tonight. A bit later, I will bring the pills and visit Purple Mountain Villa. Since I promised the three old sirs today that I would give them a stroke of fortune, I naturally cannot let them wait too long, especially that Grandfather Sun, whose physical condition can hardly wait any longer."

Hearing that Ye Chen was going to Purple Mountain Villa tonight, Lin Wan'er asked excitedly, "Young Master, are you really coming to Purple Mountain Villa tonight?"

Ye Chen said firmly, "Of course. But it also depends on whether it's convenient for you and the three old sirs, Miss Lin. If it's not convenient, we can change the day."

"Convenient, convenient, naturally convenient!" Lin Wan'er said with great excitement, "If you don't want to go through the trouble, Young Master, I can fly the helicopter to Champs-Élysées Hot Spring to pick you up!"

Ye Chen smiled, "Miss Lin, you don't need to go through so much trouble. I'll drive there tonight. If you don't want the servants at Purple Mountain Villa to see, just have them avoid us in advance."

Lin Wan'er hurriedly said, "You coming tonight is not the same as you leaving this morning, Young Master. The servants don't need to avoid us in advance, unless..."

Ye Chen asked subconsciously, "Unless what?"

Lin Wan'er said shyly, "Unless... unless you don't plan to leave after you come tonight, Young Master..."

Ye Chen hurriedly said, "Cough, cough... How could that be... Don't worry, Miss Lin. I won't stay too long. I'll have the three old sirs wait in your villa by then..."

Lin Wan'er, on the other end of the phone, although her face had already turned red with shyness, her mouth couldn't help but pout. In her heart, she couldn't help but complain: "Is the Young Master truly confused, or is he playing dumb while knowing the truth? The Young Master can play Wu Feiyan in the palm of his hand; doesn't he know the principle that men and women should not touch? In the Ming and Qing dynasties, a girl being seen by a man was considered losing her chastity, let alone the fact that the Young Master saw everything of me last night and was even pressed close to me. If it were in the era I was born, being so intimate with a man but not being able to marry him openly, I fear the only path would be to jump into a well..."

Although Lin Wan'er had lived for over three hundred years, deep down, she was still the Lin Wan'er who had taken the Eternal Evergreen Pill.

That Lin Wan'er had firmly believed since she was young that the most important thing for a woman was her chastity and her husband. Therefore, the moment Ye Chen suddenly appeared from the hot spring pool, she told herself in her heart that in this life, she would marry no one but Ye Chen!

And at this very moment, she couldn't help but sigh to Ye Chen in her heart: "Does the Young Master not know that in terms of emotion, reason, and everything else, I only have one path: to marry the Young Master; "

"In terms of emotion, the Young Master saved my life, and I do indeed have a good impression of him. This is the first time in the over three hundred years I have lived, so naturally, I hope to marry the person I love;"

"In terms of reason, the Young Master has already seen my body and even had intimate physical contact with me. If he doesn't marry me after all this, how is the Young Master going to let me face people in the future?"

"If the Young Master is willing to marry me, I can fully understand the current laws and regulations. Since the Young Master has already married a main wife, I don't ask for the Young Master to marry me openly. As long as the Young Master is willing to bow with me before my father's spirit tablet and tell my father that the Young Master has already taken me into the house, then I am willing to follow the Young Master as a concubine for the rest of my life;"

"If the Young Master is not willing to marry me, then in this life... I will not marry!" ===== CHAPTER 2771 =====
