Chapter 96 Mu En's Worries
However, things didn't go as planned. When Ye Mu En arrived outside the house at the given address, he was a bit stunned. Knowing his dear sister, he was sure she wouldn't settle for anything less than a good house if she had the money in this new world.
He couldn't understand why his sister would buy a derelict property. Ye Mu En circled the house, and soon attracted the attention of passersby.
"What are you doing here? This is a haunted house, don't hang around here for no reason."
The speaker was an old woman, her face etched with a hint of fear.
"Grandma, is no one living here?"
"Hmph, the whole family in this house is dead, who would dare live here?" Su Dan Novel Network
Ye Mu En became even more bewildered. He could only smile and send the old woman on her way.
After the old woman left, Han Yu Yan spoke.
"Mu Zi, did we come to the wrong place? Please don't overthink it."
Han Yu Yan was afraid that the person Mu Zi was looking for might be dead, so he tried to comfort him first.
Ye Mu En didn't reply, but continued to examine the area around the house. He spotted a brick by the corner of the doorway and immediately crouched down. This brick had clearly been disturbed. Lifting it, he discovered a note hidden beneath.
Ye Mu En smiled as he read the note. He was sure they hadn't come to the wrong place. He was also grateful that his sister's space had followed her, meaning she hadn't suffered any hardship since arriving in this world.
After folding the note and placing it back under the brick, Ye Mu En turned to Han Yu Yan, who was looking on with curiosity, and instructed him.
"Han Yu Yan, go back now and investigate everything about Ye Sheng Ge for me. I have something to do first. We'll meet at the Public Security Bureau."
Han Yu Yan followed his friend's orders without hesitation. They were not only childhood best friends but also comrades who had fought side-by-side and depended on each other for survival.
Han Yu Yan immediately displayed the speed he had acquired during missions and vanished from the spot.
Meanwhile, Ye Mu En took out a thin stick from his pocket and fiddled with the lock on the main door for a moment before it clicked open. In his previous life, Ye Mu En had been a special forces soldier, and learning various skills was part of the job. Picking a lock was child's play for him.
He swiftly entered the yard and conducted a thorough search, quickly discovering a secret room in the woodshed. He lifted the partition and waited for a moment before carefully stepping inside.
Seeing that the room was empty, but with clear signs that something had been placed on the floor, his mind raced to a conclusion.
"This little girl is quite bold, and she certainly found a good hiding place."
Ye Mu En was now more worried than ever. After all, his sister was a naive person, sheltered by her illness, both in daily life and in her dealings with others.
He feared that this girl, in desperation, might have traded some of her supplies and gotten into trouble. With her delicate frame, she wouldn't stand a chance to escape. He was even more afraid that in a moment of panic, she might expose her space, leading to her demise.
The more Ye Mu En thought about it, the more anxious he became. He needed to find his sister immediately. Having lost her once, he and his family could not bear to lose her again.
Meanwhile, Ye Sheng Ge was bored, listening to Wan Qiong's incessant scolding. Her ears ached and were ringing from the prolonged use of headphones. In her heart, she cursed Wan Qiong a million times for being an idiot and a ten million times more for the mastermind who had harmed the original owner of this body.
After nearly two hours of verbal abuse, Wan Qiong finally managed to get Chen Tian Ming to come back.
Chen Tian Ming had intended to keep Wan Qiong in the cold for a few more days, but Secretary Ouyang's call forced him to give Wan Qiong another chance.
He wasn't sure if the people behind Wan Qiong could withstand the anger of their superiors. He knew for certain that Wan Hui didn't have that capability, and as for Ye Huai Lin, whom Wan Qiong was trying to reach, he could only sigh.
When Wan Qiong saw Chen Tian Ming this time, she didn't utter any more insulting words. However, her bulging eyes clearly conveyed her owner's fury.
