Yin Bo saw Jin Miaomiao lost in thought and asked, "Miaomiao, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. I'll take care of Yiyi. You go back first and have someone investigate the relationship between that man and Su Ding. Call me if there's any news."
Jin Miaomiao couldn't go out now, so she had to ask Yin Bo to help her.
Yin Bo knew the situation was tense and nodded, "If Yiyi wakes up, remember to tell me."
After saying that, he cast a reluctant glance at Tang Yiyi before leaving.
It was evening.
Jin Miaomiao went downstairs for dinner. Seeing Grandpa Jin, she walked up and greeted him obediently, "Grandpa."
"Girl, what's wrong with that Tang girl? I heard she was injured?"
Grandpa Jin asked. Not many people dared to injure Miss Tang in the Southern Territory. He had only heard about it from Jin Xiao and didn't know the specifics.
Something flashed in Jin Miaomiao's eyes. She was just about to mention it, and it came up naturally.
She immediately said with a wronged tone, "Yes, it was Su Ding who hired someone to beat her! You have no idea, Yiyi's face is ruined, and she can't even come out of her room now."
"Su Ding did it?" Grandpa Jin frowned, finding it hard to believe.
"It's true. She seems to have a connection with that Ouyang family. The man who disfigured Yiyi is surnamed Ouyang, and he's very arrogant. He's just standing up for Su Ding!"
Seeing Grandpa's expression change, Jin Miaomiao rejoiced and continued, "I suspect Su Ding has ulterior motives for approaching cousin. Think about it, just because Yiyi and I offended him, that Ouyang guy acted like he wanted to kill us. And from what he said, he doesn't even put our Jin family in his eyes."
"Ouyang..."
Grandpa Jin's brows furrowed. He recalled that when he first met Su Ding, he was being chased by the Ouyang family, and it was Su Ding who helped him resolve the situation.
Could that coincidence have been intentional?
What was the relationship between the Ouyang family and Su Ding, and why would they expose themselves for her?
"Miaomiao, are you sure it was someone from the Ouyang family?" Grandpa Jin asked very seriously.
"Yes."
Jin Miaomiao nodded firmly.
In fact, she wasn't sure if that man was from that mysterious family, but she had to say it to deal with Su Ding. She knew her grandfather always became very serious when the Ouyang family was mentioned.
Grandpa Jin's expression grew more grim. "Where is your cousin now?"
"I guess he's with Su Ding, or perhaps with Su Ding and that man."
Jin Miaomiao secretly glanced at her grandfather's expression and added fuel to the fire, "Grandpa, I'm not trying to cause trouble, but cousin is too infatuated with Su Ding. Today at the hospital, cousin demanded that I apologize to Su Ding. I refused, and he publicly slapped me and forced me to apologize!"
As she said this, she choked back a few sobs, "I've never been hit like this before, Grandpa. Cousin really doesn't see me as a sister. I think he'll do anything Su Ding tells him to do from now on. Please do something about cousin, Grandpa..."
Grandpa Jin slammed the table. "Outrageous!"
"Old Kong, call Jin Ye in my name. No matter what he's doing, he must come back immediately!"
The butler, who was standing nearby, trembled and quickly made the call.
Grandpa Jin couldn't eat anymore. He turned and went to his study.
This matter was no trivial affair!
If Su Ding truly colluded with those people from the Ouyang family to trick Jin Ye into joining them and continue refining those harmful things, it would be a great disaster.
Many years ago, he had unintentionally joined that organization, which brought severe consequences to his family.
Thus, he had resolved to withdraw.
Coincidentally, at that time, the Ouyang family's fortress master had decisively intervened, completely destroying that organization.
But a while ago, that organization had resurfaced and even invited him again.
It was called an invitation, but it was actually a coercion for him to join. If the Jin family supported them, the organization would only become more powerful, and the entire Southern Territory would suffer.
"Father!" Jin Xiao also rushed back from outside after receiving the news.
"You're back. What do you think about this matter?" Grandpa Jin asked in a deep voice, sitting at his desk.
Jin Xiao frowned and thought about it. His first reaction was absurdity!
As far as he knew, Su Ding and Jin Ye met and fell in love in Jiangcheng, and they were both married. How could they have any connection with the Ouyang family?
But, he quickly refuted this idea.
Influenced by his daughter Jin Miaomiao, he had also been subtly convinced that Su Ding was a very scheming person.
"Perhaps, the organization planned it from the very beginning..."
"That's possible. Little Ye is the successor of our Jin family. Targeting him is the most direct and effective approach."
Grandpa Jin's worry grew, and he couldn't help but say, "Go and urge him to return as soon as possible."
"Yes, Father."
Jin Xiao immediately left the study and asked the butler, "How is it? Haven't you contacted the young master yet?"
The butler shook his head helplessly. "The young master's phone cannot be reached, no one is answering. I've already called several times."
"I'll do it."
Jin Xiao sighed and took out his phone.
"I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later..."
On the other side.
Jin Ye and Su Ding were intimately entangled, their love reaching its peak at this moment.
Their phones had long been pushed to the bottom of the bed.
Until they were both exhausted, and Su Ding was almost drained, lying on Jin Ye's strong, bare chest, breathing lightly, she asked, "Did you hear anything?"
"What?" Jin Ye caressed the woman's smooth back and said in a hoarse voice.
Su Ding hushed him and motioned for Jin Ye to listen.
Then, a buzzing sound could be heard from under the bed – it was the phone!
Su Ding glanced at the bedside table. Her own phone was still lying there quietly. She immediately realized it was Jin Ye's phone ringing.
She nudged the man under the covers, "Your phone."
Jin Ye leaned against the bed, his eyes narrowed. His thin lips parted slightly, "Don't bother with them."
When he decided not to return to the Jin residence for the time being, he had already handled his work matters, so there were basically no important issues.
"Go get it quickly, your phone has been vibrating for a long time."
Su Ding's face turned red. She raised her foot again to kick Jin Ye, but the dog man caught her foot.
A pair of large hands slipped under the covers, placing hers on something hot...
Blushing furiously, she pushed the man away, "No more, go answer the phone quickly!"
Seeing that the man still hadn't moved, she had to grab his hand, pull it out from under the covers, and crawl out herself to find the phone under the bed.
This movement exposed her entire fair and smooth back to the air...
Jin Ye's gaze darkened. Just as his hand was about to reach out, he heard Su Ding say, looking at the phone, "There are many missed calls. Your uncle called you again. There might be something important."
Upon hearing this, Jin Ye's expression changed slightly. He lost all desire for intimacy and took the phone.
Uncle Xiao basically only called once if there was something. He knew that Jin Ye would see it and call back. Now that he had called so many times, it meant something must have happened.
He hoped it wasn't Grandpa!
Jin Ye immediately called back and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
