Yang Lan returned to her room and dialed Song Shiwei’s number.
Song Shiwei’s slightly surprised voice came through the receiver. “Beautiful Yang, calling me at this hour? Aren’t you afraid your cousin Ying will get jealous and pin you to the bed for a thorough punishment?”
The sound of Song Shiwei’s voice made Yang Lan feel sick, but she forced down her disgust and deliberately adopted a coquettish tone. “Brother Shiwei, it’s been a whole year since we last saw each other. Today, when I saw the lotus flowers blooming in the courtyard, I couldn’t help remembering how, when we were seventeen or eighteen, you rowed me across the lake beneath the summer moon so that we could admire the lotuses together. In the blink of an eye, twenty or thirty years have passed.”
“Spare me the suggestive talk. You’re old now, so stop dwelling on what happened when you were seventeen or eighteen. I’m nearly a grandfather. That sort of thing isn’t appropriate to say to me.” Song Shiwei had long since stopped falling for her tricks, and his voice was cold.
“I heard that you kidnapped the Ye Group’s newly appointed acting lawyer. Is that true?” Yang Lan asked bluntly, without beating around the bush.
“She’s only a minor lawyer. Can’t the Ye Group simply find another one?” Song Shiwei replied indifferently.
“I know you intend to use Lu Yao to threaten Ye Yingtang, but unfortunately…” Yang Lan gave a soft laugh. “You bet on the wrong horse. Lu Yao isn’t Ye Yingtang’s mistress. She’s Ye Zehong’s beloved woman.”
“Not catching my mistress but taking my son’s woman instead—isn’t that essentially the same thing?”
“Just now, Ye Yingtang and Ye Zehong had a falling-out and severed their father-son relationship.”
Upon hearing this, Song Shiwei was so furious that he nearly smashed his phone. He raised his hand, then immediately regained his composure.
A moment later, he smiled. “Beautiful Yang, you went to the trouble of calling me. What can I do for you?”
Seeing how readily Song Shiwei had taken the bait, Yang Lan proposed, “I want you to create an opportunity for Ye Zehong to play the hero and rescue the beauty. Then use a few tricks to ensure that he and that woman consummate their relationship.”
Song Shiwei had assumed Yang Lan intended to use him to eliminate Lu Yao. He had never expected her to be trying to bring Lu Yao and Ye Zehong together, and he was visibly surprised.

“I’m a businessman. I don’t do anything without profit.”
“Once it’s done, I’ll find a way to get you involved in the development of the New City project. I always keep my word!”
Song Shiwei thought for several seconds before deciding to agree for the time being.
If Yang Lan went back on her word, he could always settle the score with her later.
“Deal!”
The call ended.
Yang Lan gripped her phone tightly and gazed coolly at the willow trees swaying in the wind outside the window. A smug smile gradually appeared on her face.
She had already begun planning what kind of grand, earth-shaking wedding she would arrange for Lu Yao and Ye Zehong.
Would Ye Yingtang be unable to withstand the blow, become so enraged that his blood pressure soared, and suffer a stroke?
…
Meanwhile.
As Ye Zehong drove toward the villa district to find Zhou Luoxi, his phone suddenly rang. The incoming call came from an unfamiliar number.
He instinctively guessed that it was someone from the Song family and answered at once.

“This is Ye Zehong!”
“…”
“Speak!”
“…”
The call was connected, but the other party remained silent.
Ye Zehong frowned deeply. Just as he was about to say something else, the call was abruptly disconnected.
He stared at the ended-call screen, and his expression changed instantly.
He pulled the car over, opened a hidden application, and entered the specially processed number. After several seconds of analysis, the application displayed a precise building address.
It was a factory in an industrial district near the coast.
His dark eyes turned cold as he called Zhou Luoxi.
“A1018 in the Western Suburb Industrial District. If you’re even a moment too late, you’ll never see Lu Yao again.”
