Mr.CEO’s Ex-wife Escapes Again
Chapter 352 Detained!

Chapter 352: Chapter 352 Detained!

Yin Hehe actually didn’t know Xiahou Jingmu that well.

She hadn’t been in the imperial capital for long and had met him only a few times, as it was Xiahou Yi who assigned him to come over; at that time, he struck her as a young man who was very steady and reliable.

Moreover, it was said that Sheng Siyuan was able to cling to life because of his timely rescue.

So, she had always had a rather good impression of him.

But out of nowhere, she found herself reevaluating him that night.

"Little Auntie, did you get the items?"

The tall man in the same camouflage uniform stepped out of the darkness and stood in front of Yin Hehe, still looking up at her with a gentle smile.

Yin Hehe pursed her lips.

She realized that he had never called her "Little Auntie" before, but tonight, he did so frequently and with great familiarity.

"Got them. Would the Junior General like to see?" Yin Hehe emerged from behind Cheng Chi and raised the two items she had just acquired in front of the man.

Xiahou Jingmu was taken aback.

He probably hadn’t expected that this woman would take the initiative to show him these items.

"Little Auntie is joking. These are the things Great-Grandfather left for you; how could I look at them? I came to take you to the hotel."

He paused for a few seconds and declined!

Seeing this, Yin Hehe put away the items in her hand, then said, "Sorry, I won’t be going to the hotel as I have to return to Jiangbei tonight. As you know, your uncle can’t be without me for a day. I’ve already been here for quite a while; if I don’t go back now, he will probably go mad."

She also rejected the offer to go to the hotel and mentioned she would be heading home immediately.

Logically, she could go wherever she wanted, but as soon as she finished speaking, the man in front of her insisted on her staying.

"Don’t worry, his foster father is in Jiangbei and will take good care of him. You should stay here. Actually, I have some matters I would like to discuss with Little Auntie tomorrow."

Xiahou Jingmu said this in his most relaxed posture, smiling in front of this woman.

In that instant, upon hearing these words, Cheng Chi swiftly stepped in front of Yin Hehe.

"Sorry, our lady doesn’t have the time! Madam, let’s go!"

Cheng Chi pulled on Yin Hehe’s arm to leave.

But Yin Hehe didn’t move; she just looked at the man who wanted her to stay, and after a few seconds of silence, she stepped forward and agreed.

"Alright, since the Junior General has something to say to me, I will stay here another night. However, I don’t need to go to the hotel; I will just stay here. The mansion already has a place for me."

She stated calmly, with a beautiful face that also bore a faint smile.

Cheng Chi: "Madam, you!"

Yin Hehe: "It’s fine, Captain Cheng, you go back first. Tell the old man that I will stay here tonight and ask him to take good care of Ayuan."

She turned to look at her bodyguard, who was staring at her with intense emotion, and instructed him calmly.

Cheng Chi: "!!!!"

He was so enraged he felt like crushing his teeth.

But in the end, he walked off alone, and soon his voice disappeared into the vast night.

Yin Hehe watched him leave, then her gaze fell on the man before her.

"Junior General, I will go rest now. What time will you come tomorrow? So I can get up early to wait for you."

"..."

Perhaps seeing the woman so composed, Xiahou Jingmu suddenly lost his enthusiasm, and the aggressive aura that was emanating from him was no longer so intense.

"Little Auntie doesn’t need to worry, I won’t come very early. You can have a good rest."

His expression finally softened, and after saying a few simple words, he quickly left.

Thus, the two who saw him at last depart, simultaneously sighed with relief in the grand hall.

"Xiaoyin, why did you choose to stay? You should have gone back just now."

The old housekeeper, seeing the man leave, immediately started to complain, blaming Yin Hehe for not leaving the troubling place in time.

But Yin Hehe frowned and shook her head.

"I need to stay; I have to figure out whether the current situation affects our Shengshi Group at all."

"Didn’t I just give you that document? That’s the talisman the old general gave you; he certainly won’t let anything happen to you," the old housekeeper said, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Yin Hehe went to sit down on the chair behind her, a trace of scorn crossing her lips.

"Uncle Zhong, have you ever considered what use that document would be if your old general is no longer in charge?"

"..."

The old housekeeper was at a loss for words...

He had not thought about this issue.

That night, Yin Hehe stayed in the courtyard she had shared with Sheng Siyuan. It was a quiet night, but she did not sleep well. Accustomed to sharing a blanket with a man, she suddenly found herself alone under a single coverlet, feeling a bit cold.

And she did not sleep well.

"Husband, as soon as I’ve figured this matter out, I will come right back," she thought as she finally closed her eyes in the early morning, picturing that man in her mind.

The next day.

She was woken up by a servant.

"Young Madam, you really came over, that’s wonderful, at last, the manor has someone to take charge," the servant said, elated.

This servant was the head cook from the kitchen, who after waking Yin Hehe, was particularly joyful.

Seeing her, Yin Hehe also felt in good spirits.

At least, the presence of these people meant the manor was still lively.

"Auntie, there’s something I would like to ask you about. Let’s talk while we walk," said Yin Hehe as she got ready to follow the head cook out, recalling certain matters as she spoke.

The head cook immediately nodded agreeably: "Of course, Young Madam, what would you like to know?"

"It’s nothing much, just wanted to ask whether you saw how the old general fell yesterday?"

"I did not!" The head cook shook her head.

"What happened yesterday was very sudden. These past days, the old general always had Uncle Zhong accompany him for walks in the garden. But yesterday, after he ate a few Baihua cakes, he said he was very thirsty, then Uncle Zhong went to get him some tea, and that’s when he fell."

"Baihua Cake?" Yin Hehe took note of this item.

"What is that? Is it something you make yourselves?"

"No, it’s a pastry from Yujing Restaurant, an old brand. The old general had been eating them for decades; he’s always been particularly fond of them. We cannot replicate that taste," the head cook patiently explained.

After listening, Yin Hehe, with years of professional experience, asked without a second thought, "Is the pastry still here? Can I take a look at it?"

"Ah?"

The servant was taken aback...
