Chapter 1296: Chapter 1296: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes (6)

“We still need to hire two servants, and then find two home tutors. If Little Pudding is unwilling to go to school, we can bring the teachers to our home. The servants can share the household chores, especially since I’m often not at home,” Ye Qilan replied with a smile.

However, Su Hongxing heard two key points from this man’s statement. One was using Little Pudding to change the subject, and the other was not that he couldn’t do household chores, but that he was often not at home to do them.

It seems that he is truly afraid of doing household chores.

“By the way, Ye Ling called to thank me. She mentioned that you lent money to the Ye Family, which helped them in an urgent situation. Also, she said that Lin Zhi was seen at the Ye Family’s house. What’s the deal with that? Fill me in,” Su Hongxing changed the subject.

Ye Qilan briefly recounted the events and then asked, “What do you think of Lin Zhi?”

“I think she’s a good person, easy-going too, when I deal with her. However, why would she appear at the Ye Family’s house for no reason? That can’t be just a coincidence—it’s clearly kicking someone when they’re down,” Su Hongxing said thoughtfully.

“The Hunter has set a large trap, it’s time for those who need to be dealt with to be eliminated, and for the net to be closed. So, the Hunter has to show up eventually, right?”

This remark from Ye Qilan surprised Su Hongxing, who instinctively retorted, “Impossible, Lin Zhi can’t be the person behind the scenes hurting us.”

Lin Zhi is genuinely nice, how could she possibly be after the Ye Family, orchestrating everything from behind the scenes?

“I’ve come up with many reasons and excuses for her, but I still can’t figure out why she had such a timely appearance at the Ye Family’s house,” Ye Qilan countered.

Su Hongxing was at a loss for words. Was Lin Zhi’s action just kicking the Ye Family when they were down because they had driven Ye Zheng away in the past, resulting in her holding a grudge?

If that’s the case, does that mean Lin Zhi has a reason for taking revenge on the Ye Family?

And why would Lin Zhi go after her and Ye Qilan—is it because Ye Qilan is the pillar of the Ye Family, and thus he must be eliminated?

Recalling the timing of Lin Zhi’s appearance in Taicheng, isn’t it exactly right? They all thought that the one targeting the Ye Family was their enemy. Nobody ever considered that it might be Lin Zhi, who is intricately connected to the Ye Family.

“Let’s not talk about these depressing matters. Wife, let’s take a walk in Apricot Forest,” Ye Qilan suggested as he took Su Hongxing’s hand. “Leave the matters of revenge to me, you don’t need to get too involved.”

“If Lin Zhi is really the mastermind behind everything, what do you plan to do with her?” Su Hongxing asked.

After all, Lin Zhi is Mo Li’s mother, and she suddenly didn’t know what to do.

“It’s simple. Debts are to be repaid, blood for blood,” Ye Qilan replied indifferently. “Don’t tell me you’ll sympathize with such a blood-stained executioner.”

With a light sigh, Su Hongxing said, “I don’t know.”

She had once thought that if she found the mastermind behind it all, she would likely have them flayed to appease the hatred in her heart. But if that person were Lin Zhi, what should she do?

Amidst her restlessness, she received a call from Lin Zhi.

She stepped aside and answered the call. Lin Zhi invited her to go shopping tomorrow.

Su Hongxing happily agreed, only to see Ye Qilan’s icy expression when she turned back.

“She might be a problem. You still dare to go out with her?”

This woman seems to have forgotten that she herself was once kidnapped, and Lin Zhi is likely to be the person who orchestrated it all.

“If she’s the main villain, I need to get closer to her. There’s a saying, ‘How can you catch the tiger cub without entering the tiger’s lair?’ Don’t worry. If she really wanted to target me, she would’ve done so earlier. Why wait till now?” What Su Hongxing didn’t say was that Lin Zhi had also once tried to bring her together with Mo Li.
