Chapter 1059: 1047 Reality World [12] Pressing Questions (2nd update)

"Mm, if you encounter any problems, come to me," Ye Tong nodded.

Her gaze towards Ye Shaohua was warm and gentle.

"Then I’ll have to trouble you to help your sister more," Su Min said with a sigh of relief upon hearing Ye Tong’s willingness to help, despite the fact that it was Ye Shaohua who was in charge of managing the company, he was extremely grateful to Ye Tong.

Ye Shaohua found it rather uninteresting, "I don’t know how to run a company, and I don’t plan to leave the Entertainment Circle."

"You...is that how you speak to your elders?" Su Lan felt that Ye Shaohua was being somewhat ungrateful.

"Don’t say any more, it’s good enough that Shaohua is back. Whatever she wants to do, I will follow her," the old master warned, glancing at Su Lan.

Startled by his gaze, Su Lan dared not say anything more.

Su Min found Ye Shaohua a bit laughable but didn’t say anything, inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, when Ye Tong suggested that Ye Shaohua manage the company, Su Min thought the division would definitely suffer losses.

Now that Ye Shaohua was unwilling to take over, Su Min naturally felt at ease.

After the meal, Ye Shaohua felt extremely tired and went upstairs to rest.

The old master looked at Su Lan, "I have something to ask you."

These past two days Su Lan had been feeling uneasy. Hearing the old master’s words, her heart skipped a beat, yet she managed to conceal it well on her face.

"What exactly happened seventeen years ago?" the old master stood in front of his desk, his eyes fixed on Su Lan, leaving her with no place to hide.

Seventeen years ago, Su Lan and her children were the four who went abroad, in the enemy’s nest.

Back then, the Ye Family wasn’t doing so well and didn’t have the status they do now.

The superiors even had orders that if necessary, they could sacrifice Su Lan and her four children at any time.

On the very last night, Su Lan returned with Ye Li and Ye Tong, but Ye Shaohua was the only one missing.

Having three people back, Ye Feng and the old master were very relieved. They even tried to find Ye Shaohua later, but no matter how hard they searched, they couldn’t find her.

The old master had people looking for a long time, but they couldn’t find a trace.

Now thinking about it, the old master felt something wasn’t right.

If Su Lan could bring back Ye Li, how come Ye Shaohua was the only one missing?

"At that time, the situation was critical..." Su Lan’s fingers clenched, and her eyes reddened, "The reinforcements didn’t arrive, we were surrounded by enemies, Lili was sick, and as you know Shaohua has always been a bit slow and careless, she wandered off on her own. Later, Tongtong and I searched but couldn’t find her anywhere."

The old master had heard this excuse countless times before.

Back then, Ye Li had no memory, and Ye Tong also couldn’t remember clearly.

Su Lan was Ye Shaohua’s mother; it was unlikely that she would conceal anything.

The grandfather couldn’t find any suspicious points.

Later, he and Ye Feng even sent people to check the place, but they found no bloodstains or signs of combat.

"I understand," the old master sighed, then looked at Su Lan, "I don’t have any suspicions about you. I just want to remind you, it’s okay that you favor Tongtong normally, but Shaohua is also your daughter. It’s not good to be too biased when you’re supposed to be impartial. What you need to do now is make it up to Shaohua."

"She’s my flesh and blood too, I know," Su Lan said, nodding as she wiped away her tears.

The old master found her crying bothersome and asked her to go out and call Ye Li in.

Ye Li saw Su Lan’s red eyes, furrowed his brows, but didn’t say anything.

Then he turned back to the old master, "Grandfather."

"Why didn’t you tell me about the Military District matter?" the grandfather sighed.

Knowing what the grandfather was referring to, Ye Li looked up at him, "Isn’t this inevitable? I climbed too fast in the Military District, and the Rong family naturally can’t wait to suppress us."

The Ye Family had once thrived, with the old master, Ye Feng, and Ye Li, each one covered in honors.

But every time there was a change in the top positions, the Military District had to undergo a major purge.

The grandfather had been severely weakened back then.

Ye Li had finally climbed to the rank of Major General, he was promising, earning a fortune in honors, and his rank could have been promoted, but he was suppressed by the Rong family.

With a new generation of leaders taking over, it was inevitable that the Ye Family would be envied.

"I’m still young," Ye Li knew what he was capable of, he didn’t mind, "I’ve climbed fast enough over these years. Don’t worry, grandfather. It’s best for the Ye Family not to show too much at this time. Let’s wait until this period is over."

The old master thought about it and felt that Ye Li’s words made some sense.

During the change of leaders, standing on the wrong side would spell doom.

"Oh, by the way, you..." After discussing the matter, the old master wanted Ye Li to go attend to his own business but suddenly remembered something, "Do you still remember the incident when you were a child, when Shaohua went missing?"

Ye Li was startled for a moment, as something flickered through his mind.

But he couldn’t recall it clearly, the memories were too vague, "I don’t know, I had a high fever then, and when I came to, I saw my father."

At that time, Ye Li was only four years old, it was not strange that he didn’t remember.

The old master didn’t say anything more.

Downstairs, Su Lan sat on the sofa. The babysitter poured her a cup of tea, which she picked up and sipped, inadvertently scalding herself.

"Mom, are you okay?" Ye Tong asked worriedly.

Su Lan hurriedly placed the cup down, "I’m fine, I’m fine."

"That’s good," Ye Tong nodded, continuing her conversation with Su Min.

The aunt beside Su Lan patted her hand, "Little sister-in-law, look at how sensible Tongtong is."

"Yes," Su Lan smiled as well.

"You want to invest in this IP?" Su Min was slightly surprised to hear Ye Tong’s plans.

Ye Tong was very confident, "I’ve read this novel, and the reviews online are very good, whether it’s on Weibo, forums, or various literature websites, it has a lot of fans. Comics and anime have already been made, and the response has been very good. Some time ago, fans on Weibo even organized a vote for the best male and female leads on their own, with no marketing accounts involved, and there were as many as seven million participants. Our Entertainment Company should acquire the film and television rights for this novel for the best return on investment."

Su Min looked at Ye Tong with admiration, "Your vision really does carry our Su Family’s knack."

While the aunt and Su Lan were talking, they overheard the conversation between the two and couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, "What novel are you two talking about?"
