Chapter 1995: Chapter 1955: Two Major Events in the Capital City

Where is Ye Zhengyu now?

It seems the Ye Family doesn’t know either; they haven’t contacted each other for many years.

However, with Ye Feng’s condition now, maybe calling him back really might be the last chance to see him.

While someone from the Ye Family is contacting Ye Zhengyu, Ye Feng’s mother left Union Hospital and immediately tried to find an excellent doctor through her network.

"Sis, I’m not trying to discourage you, but Feng has so many terminal illnesses that even the Divine Doctor can’t cure. I suggest you plan for something else."

Other plans?

What other plans?

The middle-aged woman couldn’t believe her sister’s words.

Before, this sister had a good relationship with Ye Feng, her nephew.

Why is she so quick to give up now?

"Sis, how old are you now?"

Her sister asked again.

How old?

Nearly fifty now, but due to living well and maintaining herself, she looks only in her forties.

In reality, she is indeed almost fifty.

"Sis, you don’t have a good relationship with your husband, and there’s not much affection there. Now that Feng might not have long, think about what you’ll do once he’s gone. Wouldn’t it be better to plan your divorce and either live single or find someone else?"

"If you keep talking, I’ll get angry. I need to find the best doctor to treat Ye Feng right now."

The middle-aged woman said angrily.

Seeing her older sister like this, the younger-looking sister didn’t say anything else.

Ye Feng’s condition is already mid-stage cancer, and the cancer cells are spreading relentlessly. Even with complete chemotherapy and radiotherapy, it’s unlikely to be effective. He doesn’t seem to have much time left.

Watching her sister almost go mad, she understands her thoughts deeply but cannot help her. She can only go back and explain the situation to their parents.

She dared not leave now, fearing that, when the time comes, her sister might get too upset. Who knows what she might do? It’s better to stay and watch her for now.

...

Ye Qiu and Cao Ling slept in an embrace until past five in the morning when Ye Qiu sneakily returned to his room.

He felt as if he was having an affair with Cao Ling!

But Ye Qiu didn’t want Liu Lingxiu and Lin Xiang to discover it, so spending nights with Cao Ling was best.

Upon returning to his room and seeing Liu Lingxiu sleeping quietly, Ye Qiu lay down and hugged Liu Lingxiu.

Liu Lingxiu opened her eyes and saw Ye Qiu. She had already smelled another scent on Ye Qiu, which belonged to Cao Ling.

She naturally guessed that Ye Qiu might have left to see Cao Ling earlier.

When they woke up again, it was already eight or nine in the morning. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

They got up to freshen up and prepared for lunch tea, then to find a spot in the Capital City to wander.

While Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu were getting ready, Cao Ling and Lin Xiang had already gotten up.

Ye Qiu and the four women went downstairs and drove to a tea house in the Capital City.

When they reached the private room at the tea house, Cao Long called to ask where Ye Qiu was.

Cao Ling informed him of the location, and Cao Long and Young Master Zhou drove over.

Ye Qiu only remembered that last night Cao Long called in the middle of the night to say the painting he gave to Third Grandfather had been stolen.

Besides tea, the tea house mainly offered various morning newspapers, for guests to view while enjoying tea.

Some cost one yuan per copy, while most were free.

There were newspapers in the private room too.

Ye Qiu picked one up, and the headline was indeed about Ye Family Third Grandfather’s birthday and the stolen national painting.

"Cao Ling, look."

"Didn’t expect it to be on the news."

Cao Ling didn’t expect it either, for it to make the news.

Ye Qiu’s painting is now featured with pictures taken by Professor Han, which were directly published by the newspaper.

Liu Lingxiu was also taken aback to see Ye Qiu’s painting for Third Grandfather had been stolen.

She was aware Ye Qiu painted it.

However, others didn’t know, perhaps only those hotel staff and front desk might know, but they couldn’t believe that the three paintings were indeed painted by Ye Qiu.

"Currently, the market values the painting over ten million, considered a shocking theft case, and the Capital City police are investigating."

Cao Ling said.

Of course, she couldn’t believe the thieves had the audacity to steal from the Cao Family.

"Honestly, I’d suspect someone within the Cao Family."

Someone within?

There’s the saying, "It’s difficult to guard against family thieves day and night."

The paintings were known only by Professor Han and his colleague, and the Cao Family members understood their value well.

Unexpectedly, they disappeared last night. If it wasn’t the Cao Family, then who did it?

"How could it be?" Cao Ling couldn’t believe it and asked.

"There are over a hundred Cao Family members, and they come in all sorts. Isn’t that normal?" Ye Qiu asked.

Cao Ling considered it might be; she knew Cao Long well but not other Cao Family members. She wasn’t aware of what they were like, so it wouldn’t be surprising if it was someone from the Cao Family.

Most people have greed; knowing the painting’s immense value, cooperating with outsiders in stealing it seems normal.

While Ye Qiu and Cao Ling were chatting, the tea house staff hadn’t brought the ordered snacks yet, and Cao Ling with Young Master Zhou’s group arrived.

As soon as they walked in, Young Master Zhou said: "Now, two major events in the Capital City have spread."

"What are the two major events?" Cao Ling asked.

"First, Young Master Ye Feng of the Ye Family is terminally ill, with little time left. Second, the Longevity Picture given to the third grandfather by the Cao Family was stolen."

The painting was Ye Qiu’s gift, which Young Master Zhou just heard last night from Cao Long, so they hadn’t expected Ye Qiu would present such valuable gifts to the Cao Family.

"Young Master Ye Feng of the Ye Family is regarded well by many in the Capital City; it’s strange he suddenly developed various cancers." Young Master Li also commented.

"As for the painting, few knew it was so valuable."

When Young Master Zhou’s gaze fell on Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu said: "Just bought it from a stall in the Capital City. I didn’t know it was worth so much. It’s a pity it’s now missing."
