Beast World: The Villain Baby Is Not Conforming to the System!-Chapter 176: The Disappearance of Esie

After this, Yu Man enjoyed a quiet period.

When Yu Man was five months pregnant, the slots for the Rest Pod trials were already decided, and the first batch was gradually handed over to the initial users...

The Rest Pod trials proceeded smoothly, garnering quite a bit of praise.

Many people were buzzing online.

[Hey, I tried out the Rest Pod at a friend’s place, it’s really useful! Felt refreshed after using it! No more exhaustion!]

[I swear, it’s true, I’m sleeping in one every night now!]

[When will the Rest Pod be available for sale? I really can’t wait!]

Of course, there were a few small issues that cropped up.

Someone caused a commotion with a Rest Pod, accusing Huafeng of fraud, saying they sold him a defective Rest Pod!

The legal department swiftly posted a notice, revealing that they detected someone deliberately stealing Rest Pod data, which triggered its auto-destruction, and instead they intended to pursue legal action against that person.

The legal department also issued a warning that if someone deliberately resold a Rest Pod causing it to initiate the auto-destruction process, the buyer would also be held responsible.

This incident caused quite a stir, and those thinking of making a quick buck by reselling at high prices no longer dared to entertain such thoughts...

[What is this? A thief crying thief? Those harboring ill intentions, retreat fast! I’m really worried the sale of the Rest Pods will be delayed because of this!]

Meanwhile, Yu Man also heard a few things.

The Kaven Family failed in the competition for Secretary-General, and the Berkeley Family succeeded in taking over.

The leadership of the Kaven Family changed hands.

Nash Cavon, who is Atier’s paternal grandfather, took charge...

Upon hearing this news, Yu Man frowned in confusion.

Nash Cavon had long been sidelined to the edges of power, how did he suddenly become the decision-maker?

Something’s fishy.

"Blanwen, help me look into this..."

Yu Man immediately contacted Blanwen.

Since Blanwen dealt with his biological father, public opinion about him has been mixed, but indeed, fewer dared to make a move.

As a result, Blanwen faced fewer troubles, gained a bit more spare time, and finally had the chance to be around Yu Man, helping her a lot.

Truth be told, Yu Man found Blanwen quite handy in these times...

"Alright, no problem." Blanwen’s gaze was gentle. "Actually, I have some good news to tell you this time."

"What?" Yu Man relaxed more in front of Blanwen, leaning back into her chair.

It seemed as though they had returned to those days when they were not quite lovers.

"Jenkins left Flower Country, I heard... Esie wants to seize power, and Jenkins, afraid of coming up empty-handed, rushed back likely to try and grab some himself."

Yu Man was taken aback.

She indeed hadn’t received this news yet.

The Burles family might be descending into chaos; this could be the best time for Lai to leave the Burles family!

Yu Man felt a bit excited, "Thank you, this indeed is good news."

She hoped Lai could come back soon...

Speaking of which, Lai had been away for two months.

In just over a month, the cub in her belly would be born.

Yu Man hoped Lai could return before the baby was born.

In the following period, Yu Man constantly monitored the movements of the Burles family, and Yu Manman would predict Lai’s situation every day.

At the worst, the numbers even reached eighty-three!

When Yu Man was six months pregnant, the internet began to explode with various negative news about the Burles family...

Reports of Esie abusing cubs and causing a miscarriage by assaulting a pregnant woman emerged.

Every day, there seemed to be new stories about the Burles family, with reports surfacing about Jenkins abusing his own brother and dismembering a murder victim!

Eventually, the Burles family’s secret dealings in female trafficking and organ trading were exposed! The secrets inside that room were finally uncovered, with evidence and data revealed, even the data of the clients!

However, before all the information could be exposed, the Burles family was set ablaze! Who knew how many perished inside.

The Burles family, steadfast for over a century, was gone overnight!

No one knows who set the fire; perhaps the employers behind it, fearing their secrets would be exposed, decided to silence all involved, or maybe the Burles family’s enemies were too numerous. Some even claimed it was a ploy by the family to escape scot-free...

But regardless, people felt great relief upon seeing the news!

This kind of cancer should have been eradicated long ago!

Yu Man also sighed in relief as she watched the news.

With the fall of the Burles family, Lai should be returning soon, right?

Even earlier, the medical accident that tarnished Lai’s reputation had seen some progress.

The comatose noble had woken up, swiftly ridding himself of malicious people around him, and cleared Lai’s name.

He had been pretending all along, never actually becoming a vegetable.

The rumors of Lai fleeing due to poor medical skills were thoroughly debunked.

Even Fei’er, who had been out of contact, resurfaced, though he dare not contact Yu Man for fear of being scolded by the boss’s wife.

"Has Lai been in touch with you?" Yu Man asked Blanwen.

"No." Blanwen shook his head, "Don’t be too anxious, Lai will return safely."

"When is the due date?" Blanwen shifted the topic.

"The doctor says about two weeks left."

It’s close.

Blanwen thought.

Actually, he had lied just now.

Lai had contacted him.

It was done secretly.

Though his life was not in danger, he carried many wounds, and dared not appear before Yu Man.

Most importantly, Lai told him.

Esie severely injured Jenkins, and Corbin landed the final blow, resulting in Jenkins’s death.

However, Esie set the fire, burning down the vast Burles family, and vanished without a trace.

Now, Lai was still seeking Esie’s whereabouts.

He understood well; although he hadn’t exposed the data, the secret room was opened by him, which caused Esie to loathe him immensely, probably hiding somewhere, plotting to kill him.

Lai had refused Corbin’s help, intending to deal with it alone.

If he accepted the support from those behind Corbin, the implications would be endless.

Lai didn’t plan on returning because he feared implicating his wife.

His wife was pregnant, and couldn’t endure any fright.

If he returned, Esie would surely target his wife.

Yet Lai couldn’t afford to be careless, fearing Esie might bypass him to retaliate against Yu Man.

Thus, he had to contact Blanwen, seeking his help to care for and protect his wife.

Blanwen’s eyes flickered; although he hid this from Yu Man, he couldn’t guarantee no errors would occur.

He contacted Yu Man’s other Beast Husband, revealing the situation with Esie and Lai in full.

During this period, they united against external threats, promising to rotate in guarding Yu Man and Manman until Esie’s whereabouts were found and he was apprehended, ensuring the safety of mother and daughter!
