The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 704, Not very smart looking (1)

Minor cosmetic surgery?

That’s a barefaced lie.

Ye Jiuliang sneered with mocking laughter. Apart from those immutable phoenix eyes and the semblance of charm between his brows, one couldn’t find any similarities to his face from before.

It seemed that her father and Mo Yu had no affection for each other in the past, otherwise, Mo Yu wouldn’t have taken so much trouble to completely change her father’s appearance.

"Wasn’t this how I looked before?" Seeing her not speaking, Mo Yuan’s heart throbbed nervously as he tentatively asked.

Ye Jiuliang fixed her gaze on him, and after a moment, her rosy lips slightly moved, "No."

In the end, she added another sentence, "You used to look much better than now."

From her words, Mo Yuan vaguely sensed a hint of aversion, and suddenly felt a stinging pain in his heart.

He lifted his hand to touch his face, his eyes showing a touch of bewilderment. Was his current appearance that ugly?

Li Mochan glanced at him, ripples of light dancing in the depths of his eyes.

It seemed his father-in-law wasn’t very smart.

Mo Yuan looked toward Ye Jiuliang and curiously asked, "Then what did I look like before?"

Confronted with the confusion and curiosity in his eyes, a sourness welled up in Ye Jiuliang’s heart.

Her father used to be so proud and unyielding. Overnight, he had lost his memory, had his appearance changed, and had even been deceived for over a decade, trapped in the dark—a humiliation that the old him would have found unbearable.

Thinking so, she could not help but have the corners of her eyes redden, and barely suppressed anger began to leak out imperceptibly.

Seeing the reddened corners of her eyes, Mo Yuan panicked and moved forward two steps, "Did I say something wrong to upset you? Then I’ll stop asking, please don’t cry."

Ye Jiuliang turned her head away, concealing the heartache in her eyes, her voice composed, "No."

She took out her phone, opened a photo, then handed the phone to him, "This was what you looked like before."

Mo Yuan was stunned for a moment before looking down at the phone. There, a young man leaned against a tree, his features sharp and defined, looking both strange and familiar.

Was this really how he looked before? Mo Yuan widened his eyes slightly.

At that moment, Gu Xinuo’s call came in.

Ye Jiuliang slid to answer the call, Gu Xinuo’s voice came through, "Ajiu, Mo Yu has left the house, she is probably looking for Aqian. Do you want to come over now?"

Ye Jiuliang narrowed her eyes slightly, and hummed in response, "Okay."

After hanging up, she turned her gaze to Mo Yuan’s puzzled eyes and spoke indifferently, "We’re going out, do you want to come with us?"

Hearing that she was willing to take him along, Mo Yuan’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly nodded his head.

They left the hotel and Mo Yuan got into their car.

Throughout the ride, his gaze would occasionally drift to the person sitting in the passenger seat in front of him, his mind filled with questions, yet he didn’t know where to start.

Ye Jiuliang’s gaze fell gently, aware that the person in the back seat was watching her continually, yet she didn’t say anything. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Now wasn’t the time to explain; she still had some things to figure out, and perhaps everything would come to light soon.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

After informing Ye Jiuliang, Gu Xinuo returned to the living room, only to find Chu Chen alone.

She asked in confusion, "Where’s Aqian?"

"He’s in his room working on his computer," Chu Chen said.

Gu Xinuo realized, "Looking for Brother Yisheng?"

Chu Chen nodded. The situation was becoming quite clear now; the person who kidnapped Brother Yisheng at this critical juncture was very likely connected to the Mo Family.

If they could catch Mo Yu later and expose her conspiracy, everything would be much simpler.

Moreover, according to what Li Mochan and the others said, the Mo Family’s kidnapping of Brother Yisheng was likely to use him as a bargaining chip to threaten them; as long as it wasn’t the last moment, Brother Yisheng’s safety was still assured.

"Have you noticed that something seems off about Aqian?" Gu Xinuo leaned next to him and whispered.

No matter what happened, Aqian had always seemed nonchalant, even when they just started going on missions and he himself lingered on the brink of life and death; she had never seen him as anxious and agitated as he was now.

He hadn’t slept a wink since last night and was in a state of extreme tension, exceptionally irritable.

Chu Chen said, "A bit, but it’s also understandable. After all, aside from us, Jiang Yisheng is a true friend whom he holds dear."

"But Feng Yi is also his friend, yet I’ve never seen him like this." Gu Xinuo was still puzzled.

"Ajiu mentioned before that Jiang Yisheng is physically weak and not skilled in fighting. Feng Yi is different, he is much more capable than Jiang Yisheng and can at least protect himself," Chu Chen explained.

Gu Xinuo was persuaded, "That makes sense."

Just then, there was a knock on the back door.

"Thud thud—"

"It might be Ajiu and the others," Gu Xinuo stood up, skirted the living room, and hurried to the back door.

Looking through the peephole and seeing the people outside, she confirmed it was Ye Jiuliang and his group, Gu Xinuo reached out and opened the door.

"Ajiu, you..."

As the door opened and she was about to speak, she caught a glimpse of Mo Yuan out of the corner of her eye, and the words suddenly got stuck in her throat.

Uh...

What’s going on?

She looked back at Ye Jiuliang, her eyes questioning.

Ye Jiuliang gave a slight nod, and a flash of understanding crossed Gu Xinuo’s eyes.

She opened the door wider for them to come in, "Come in first."

"Where’s Aqian?" Ye Jiuliang asked casually upon seeing just Chu Chen there.

"He’s in his room," Gu Xinuo replied, closing the door and walking to her side, "still looking for Achen’s whereabouts."

A voice neither too loud nor too soft reached Li Mochan’s ears, and a sharp gleam passed through his deep ink-like pupils.

The cold tone of a text message alert suddenly rang out, breaking the sudden silence.

Ye Jiuliang took out his phone, with a message from Mo Chen popping up on the screen.

[Mo Su has kidnapped Brother Yisheng. Come to Warehouse No. 2 in the northern mid-section immediately.]

Ye Jiuliang’s brows and eyes turned cold as he redialed Mo Chen’s mobile number. The call went through, but no one answered.

"What’s wrong?" Seeing her frown, Li Mochan asked in a low voice.

After dialing twice more with no answer, Ye Jiuliang’s eyes darkened slightly, "Mo Chen sent a message, Asheng has been found."

"Mo Chen?" Gu Xinuo exclaimed in surprise, "Did he say who kidnapped Yisheng?"

"Mo Su," Ye Jiuliang replied, his voice tinged with coldness.

Gu Xinuo became angry, "So it was her doing, despicable."

As she spoke, something seemed to dawn on her, and she called out loudly upstairs, "Aqian, Yisheng has been found, hurry down."

If they didn’t find the person soon, Aqian might just tear the roof off.

Before her words fell silent, a series of rapid footsteps came from the staircase, clanging loudly.

"Where?" With no sleep overnight, bloodshot eyes in a deep gaze, Ji Mingqian turned to Ye Jiuliang, his voice hoarse and urgent.

"Where is Jiang Yisheng?"

Seeing him still in yesterday’s clothes, Ye Jiuliang paused for a moment before answering, "At Warehouse No. 2 in the northern mid-section."

The abandoned warehouse?

Ji Mingqian rushed to the sofa, his hurried manner leaving even Chu Chen confused.

Lifting the magazines on the table, Ji Mingqian found the car keys, and made a move to run.

"Aqian, what are you going to do?" Chu Chen reacted, quickly grabbed him, "Mo Yu might be arriving soon, where are you planning to go now?"
