Mr.CEO’s Ex-wife Escapes Again

Chapter 409: Chapter 409 The Noble

But in the end, Doctor Qin still took the couple to her home.

Indeed, once they arrived at the Qin Family home, they found it to be a very ordinary rural courtyard. At that time, an elderly person with graying hair but full of vigor, was sitting on a bamboo chair, contentedly smoking a pouch of dry tobacco.

"Dad, why have you started smoking again?"

Doctor Qin saw this and immediately began to scold.

The old man chuckled, then put down his tobacco and stood up from the chair.

"What brings you back so suddenly? And with guests, too. Are you craving for the vegetables in my garden again?"

The old man had a very agreeable nature, and even teased his own daughter upon seeing Yin Hehe and her husband.

Yin Hehe and her husband felt much more at ease when they saw this.

The person who could help them at this critical juncture must hold no low rank in society, yet this elderly man seemed so approachable that they thought the problem might not be too difficult to resolve.

"Not really, they’re here to find you," said Doctor Qin, who was always direct with her words, immediately revealing the real reason Yin Hehe and her husband were there.

The old man was startled, then turned his attention to Yin Hehe and her husband.

"Who might you two be?"

"Sir, a gentleman named Rong Huan sent me to find you. Here is his card," Sheng Siyuan said as he handed over the business card he had received that morning.

Indeed, the call he received that morning was unexpected. Initially, after he got up, he had been ready to contact Cui Shaoquan to find out about the situation at Shengshi Group.

But the phone rang out of the blue.

Then, to avoid waking up the still-sleeping Yin Hehe, he agreed to meet this person in the back courtyard of the hotel downstairs.

Upon seeing him, the person told him directly that if he wanted to resolve the company’s current crisis, he should go to this old man.

Sheng Siyuan looked at the old man impassively.

But he noticed that upon seeing the card, the old man’s expression changed, and immediately, a pair of bright, penetrating old eyes looked back at Sheng Siyuan.

"So, you are Xiahou Yi’s son!"

"... "

Even the air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

To speak Xiahou Yi’s name directly and know the relationship between Sheng Siyuan and that old man,

One could imagine what kind of person this man must be?

"Yes," Sheng Siyuan finally admitted.

Then, he asked, "May I know who you are?"

"Me?" The old man laughed in the courtyard as soon as he heard the question, putting down the card in his hand.

"It seems that old ghost Xiahou Yi really didn’t tell you anything, but he knew to send you to find me when in a crisis. This is the first time I’ve seen him do such a twisted thing."

"... "

The courtyard fell into silence once again.

"Twisted" usually describes a person’s character as not straightforward, indecisive, trying to balance too much, yet accomplishing nothing in the end.

Yin Hehe, clever as she was, picked up on the nuance of his words and interjected, "The old General must have considered that it would cause us trouble, hence he did so."

"Is that so?" The old man said, lifting his head to look at her.

Yin Hehe nodded, continuing, "Actually, over the past few months, under his arrangements, we’ve been living in peace. It’s just that some people always don’t want to let us go. Having no other choice, we came to seek the old master’s help."

The words were quite beautifully put.

They subtly explained the predicament Xiahou Yi was in at that time, and also conveyed their sincerity in seeking help from the old man now.

The old man, holding his dry tobacco pipe, finally revealed a satisfied smile.

"You, young lady, have a way with words, but I’ve worked with Xiahou Yi for many years, and he is indeed not one to act recklessly. All right, tell me, how do you want me to help you?"

Though the old man still did not disclose his identity, he had agreed to provide assistance.

Before long, the couple emerged from the small courtyard, with Yin Hehe looking at the man beside her with a belly full of questions.

"Husband, who is he really? Why, when we mentioned the Pentagon Building, when we mentioned Chu Fengcheng, did he seem utterly unconcerned?"

She asked.

Sheng Siyuan glanced at her lightly and replied, "The establishment of the Pentagon Building was actually negotiated by Xiahou Yi and a military strategist. After many years of campaigning, with peace gradually returning, Xiahou Yi wanted to step back. The strategist discussed with him that they could form a new leadership team, and that’s how the Pentagon Building came to be."

"So, Dr. Qin’s father is that strategist?"

"To be correct, he should be called the first ruler of the Pentagon Building," Sheng Siyuan corrected.

The first ruler?

Yin Hehe, hearing this, suddenly felt a cold breath rise up her throat.

So, the old man’s identity was that impressive!

In that case, there shouldn’t be any need to worry about the crisis faced by Shengshi Group. With such a powerful ally, were they still to fear the likes of Chu Fengcheng?

Yin Hehe’s mood brightened completely.

That day, when the two returned to the hotel, they didn’t rush back home. Instead, hearing from the owner that the temperature would drop in the next few days and there would be snow on a nearby mountaintop, they decided to stay and enjoy the snowy scenery.

"Had I known, we should have brought the three little ones over. They would definitely be thrilled to see the snow."

While waiting at the hotel, Yin Hehe thought of the three little friends at home and couldn’t help feeling a twinge of regret.

At that moment, Sheng Siyuan was sitting at the desk handling some company matters. Hearing her words, the corner of his mouth twitched into a smile, and he closed his notebook before moving to stand behind the woman.

"This is a honeymoon just for the two of us. At the end of the year, I’ll take you all to another place, where whatever they want to see, they can see," he said, embracing the woman from behind and whispering in her ear.

Yin Hehe was immediately covered in goosebumps from the warm breath, her ears quickly turning red as she tried to wriggle out of the man’s embrace.

"I know, let go of me, I need to go..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the man had already forcefully turned her face toward him, and a flurry of kisses descended upon her.

A honeymoon naturally requires a honeymoon’s display of affection.

Three days later, it indeed started to snow on the mountaintop.

The couple drove to the foot of the mountain, bundled up in thick down jackets and carrying a bottle of oxygen, and took the mountain cable car.

"Wow, it’s really beautiful~~"

This was the first time Yin Hehe was enjoying the snow in such a way. As the cable car ascended, she saw the lush greenery at the foot of the mountain, then the snow-covered midsection, and finally the pure white snow as they neared the peak...

Yin Hehe couldn’t contain her excitement and kept taking photos.

Sheng Siyuan sat beside her, indulgently watching her, and made sure to keep one arm around her waist, fearing she might fall while taking photos.

Until, just as the cable car was about to reach the summit, they suddenly heard a "creak" from above, and it abruptly stopped right there.
