Chapter 508 Ye Yage Calls Mom Ye
Ye Shenge looked at Gu Miao in surprise. How much of a love-struck fool would he have to be to beg for mercy at this time?
"On what grounds? I don't think I know you."
Gu Miao, despite his rugged face, was made awkward by Ye Shenge's directness. He seemed to have no right to even ask for a favor.
"I can make sure she won't be a threat to you."
"Heh, wouldn't she be safer in my hands?"
Gu Miao tightened his grip on the child, then looked at Ye Yage, who was already dazed from the beating, feeling even more lost.
"I, how about I work for you? I'm pretty good at fighting."
Before Ye Shenge could say anything, A Sen on the side spoke coldly.
"You can't even beat the weakest among us."
"A Sen, you're talking nonsense. When did I become the weakest?"
A Can immediately bristled. While he wasn't the strongest, he was definitely not at the bottom.
Gu Miao lowered his head, it seemed he had nothing impressive to offer in front of this lady.
"Auntie, please spare my mom."
The child's milky voice softened Ye Shenge's heart a little, but thinking of Ye Yage's threat just now, she couldn't let her off.
"I'm sorry, this is between Ye Yage and me, so I can't grant your request."
Rejected by Ye Shenge, Gu Miao and the child in his arms made the same wronged expression. Ye Shenge couldn't bear to watch and was about to get into the car.
"Madam, I'd like to know if she will die?"
Ye Shenge chuckled. This was a society governed by law, and no matter how capable she was, she couldn't easily take a life, especially not in public.
"How about I send her back to your hometown?"
Gu Miao fell silent. Just as Ye Shenge was losing patience, he shook his head.
"No need. I just don't want her to die. As long as you spare her life, that's good enough."
With that, Gu Miao, holding the child, bowed to Ye Shenge and then walked to Ye Yage. He did this simply to bid Ye Yage a final farewell.
"Mingge, the child and I are leaving. We will never appear before you again, and I hope you'll pretend not to know us if you see us."
Ye Yage, who had been beaten into submission, felt a pang in her heart hearing Gu Miao speak to her so heartlessly for the first time, especially since he had doted on her for over a decade.
But Gu Miao's retreating back made Ye Yage cry, feeling even more wronged.
"Gu Miao, I won't die in front of you even if I die."
Gu Miao left resolutely, not even stopping at Ye Yage's words, but his shoulders were wet again.
Ye Shenge glanced at Ye Yage and got into the car. Ye Yage wanted to call out again, but A Can covered her mouth.
"Hand her over to Zi Yisheng."
Ye Yage watched the car drive away, roaring with bloodshot eyes, but could only let out muffled sounds. When she could no longer see the car, Ye Yage knew she had no chance to negotiate.
Initially, there were onlookers at the hotel entrance, but the manager, being perceptive, quickly dispersed everyone, leaving only the lady to handle business.
A Can dragged Ye Yage to find Young Master Zi. Along the way, he deliberately tormented Ye Yage, blaming her for not being able to keep up with Madam today, which would surely result in Zi Shao assigning him a pile of work.
Zhao Jiada and He Chunhong were both taken to the police station last night. However, Zhao Jiada, having a broken leg and a head injury, had to be sent to the hospital for treatment.
He Chunhong and the people with her were detained overnight, and no one came to take them home.
Although Zhao Jiada was in the hospital, he was guarded by a police officer. Someone who previously didn't even have the chance to speak to him now stared at him with a stern expression, giving him no opportunity to find anyone.
All this could only prove that Zi Yisheng knew about his affairs, and he must have given the order. Otherwise, no one in Chenghai City would dare to disregard his face.
Zhao Jiada's mind raced. If his previous suspicions were true, he had to save himself, or death awaited him.
He thought of He Chunhong, who had caused his downfall. This woman was truly ruthless, completely disregarding him to punish him.
Zhao Jiada touched his leg, his heart filled with hatred for He Chunhong and even the He family. If his future was ruined, he would definitely drag the He family down with him.
At this moment, he didn't think about his children at home, nor did he remember Ye Yage.
The young police officer beside him observed Zhao Jiada's expression, which shifted from sinister to vicious. He found it a bit intimidating.
Recalling what his superior had told him when he came to the hospital, he straightened his chest. The person who was once high and mighty had finally met their match, and it would be difficult for them to make a comeback now. What was there to be afraid of?
Meanwhile, He Chunhong had calmed down after a night. Her father had also come earlier, but the look in his eyes made her feel a little regretful.
She now adhered to the word her father had given her: sacrifice the pawn to save the king! This meant cutting her losses quickly and releasing evidence of Zhao Jiada, preventing him from implicating the He family.
He Chunhong admitted she had acted impulsively, only wanting to strip Zhao Jiada of everything. But now, considering the He family, as the saying goes, prosperity is shared. She was genuinely worried that she might harm her maternal family.
"Someone, I have something to report!"
Due to Zhao Jiada's incident, today's meeting was directly presided over by Zi Yisheng, who immediately appointed Zhao Jiada's deputy as the temporary overall person in charge.
This time, Zi Yisheng wasn't just listening; he directly presented his well-thought-out suggestions, making everyone in the room scribble furiously, afraid of missing even a single detail.
Ye Yage was taken to the unit. Although she had never been to this place, she was familiar with it because she had figured it out from Zhao Jiada's words.
She was received by Ouyang and two investigation officers, their expressions stern as if they were in court.
Ye Yage hadn't interacted with these people for over ten years, and her status had undergone a complete transformation.
However, seeing Ouyang, she felt a sense of familiarity, which caused her to stare at him intently.
"Name."
One of them suddenly spoke, startling Ye Yage.
"Ye, Ye Yage."
"Tell your real name."
"I am telling my real name. Before I was fifteen, I was called Ye Yage. I am the daughter of Ye Huaijin from Mingcheng, the sister of Ye Mu'en, and the granddaughter of the Bai family in Mingcheng."
The two investigation officers looked at Ouyang, who then curved his lips and looked at Ye Yage. When he came to the interrogation room, he had already heard A Can mention Ye Yage's constant threats.
"Oh, and what is your current name? You said your identity before the age of fifteen. We need your current identity and name. What use is it to tell us about the past?"
Ouyang's stern reprimand made Ye Yage feel embarrassed and prevented the investigators from overthinking.
"I am now called Mingge, but I can never erase the fact that I am a member of the Ye family, nor can I erase the name Ye Yage."
"Heh, who you were in the past is none of our concern. The Ye family and the Bai family wouldn't care about these baseless matters. You'd better explain your relationship with Zhao Jiada."
Ouyang cleanly dismissed her past. The sudden mention of Zhao Jiada made Ye Yage even more agitated.
"What do you mean? What happened to Zhao Jiada? Why did you find me? It wasn't Ye Shenge who told you something, was it? She's such a bitch. She stole my identity when we were kids, and now she's trying to ruin me."
"Slap! How dare you!"
Ouyang slammed his fist on the desk. Daring to insult his wife was courting death.
"To arbitrarily slander others, and what's more, the wife of a leader. After she finishes confessing, this person must be severely punished."
He said this to the investigators, but Ouyang's gaze was fixed on Ye Yage.
"On what grounds? Am I not speaking the truth? Ye Shenge is a jinx. I want to see my parents. They will definitely save me, given that they raised me for fifteen years. They are not heartless people."
At this point, even the investigators were unsettled. Even if she was an adopted daughter, there might still be feelings. What if they ended up in a no-win situation?
"Secretary Ouyang, look at this..."
"What is there to look at? No one, regardless of their identity, is related to this matter. Besides, I have interacted with Chief Ye and Madam for over a decade. They have never mentioned having an adopted daughter. After all, they cherish their daughter dearly."
The two investigators exchanged glances and immediately nodded. Indeed, it wasn't their place to interfere in the affairs of the leaders' family.
"You, I think I've seen you before. Didn't you come to my house with Zi Yisheng? I was still living in the compound then. It's you, definitely you."
"Alright, many people try to butter me up. A few days ago, someone even claimed they had held me as a baby. Hurry up and explain your situation with Zhao Jiada. Otherwise, according to our investigation, your source of funds is illicit. A person without a job having funds in their bank account that do not match your qualifications."
Ye Yage was now certain of Ouyang's identity. She also knew that with Ouyang present, she had no chance of spreading rumors that would tarnish the Ye family couple. Then how could she force them to negotiate with her?
But if she admitted her relationship with Zhao Jiada, would her parents be even more disappointed in her and feel that Ye Shenge was better than her?
"I don't know Zhao Jiada. My money is all earned from my street stall business."
There were so many people selling at street stalls now, let them check.
"But according to our findings, you don't wake up until noon every day. Do you do business only at night?"
This sentence was highly suggestive, and Ye Yage naturally understood Ouyang's insult. She glared at him hatefully.
"In any case, my money is earned by me. It's not my fault if you don't believe me."
"Well, we don't believe you. We've also interviewed your neighbors. At least five of them can confirm that Zhao Jiada visited you, and he would stay for several hours each time.
Also, you often let it be known that you are Zhao Jiada's woman. For example, yesterday, you even threatened a police leader with the identity of Zhao Jiada's woman. This has happened more than once or twice."
Ye Yage's past was exposed in public, her face contorted. She was truly afraid that her parents would find out about her experiences over the years. She didn't want them to know she was a depraved woman.
"No, that's all their slander. I have a man and a child. I couldn't possibly do anything immoral."
"Oh? Then who is your man, and where can he be found? We need him to prove everything."
Ye Yage's heart broke into several pieces. Gu Miao had completely cut ties with her, and Zhao Jiada must have also been in trouble. Who else could she rely on? The money she had wouldn't last her long.
"He's in the countryside with the child, and it's several thousand kilometers away from Chenghai City. I can't reach him anytime soon."
"It doesn't matter, a few phone calls should be enough to reach him. Just tell us the address and name. However, I must remind you that if you are truly married with children and involved with another man, the situation will be very serious."
Ye Yage swallowed. Now, she could only save herself.
"I have one request. As long as you fulfill it, I will tell you everything and even give you an unexpected surprise."
Ouyang's patience was only for Young Master Zi and his wife. Today, he had barely managed to endure this long.
"Let's hear it."
"I want to call my parents. As long as I can make this call, I will tell you everything."
"Okay, take her to make the call."
Even Ye Yage was surprised that Ouyang agreed so readily.
"I also need my parents' phone number."
"Hahahahaha, you're asking me for your parents' phone number? Are you playing with us!"
Even the two investigation officers were angry. Earlier, they had considered the sentiment of an adopted daughter, but now it seemed she was playing them for fools.
"Nonsense, hurry up and confess your problems, or we'll let you taste the food at the detention center first."
This time, there was no need for Ouyang to speak. These investigators were much more professional than him.
"It really is just one phone call. My parents will surely save me, after all, they raised me. Otherwise, they would be heartless. They found their biological daughter and eagerly abandoned me. I will let everyone know."
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Zi Yisheng walked in.
"Let her make the call. Arbitrarily slandering important national personnel is a serious crime. We have a responsibility to clear their names of baseless accusations."
In fact, Zi Yisheng didn't need to come. However, Ye Yage's remarks could easily be used by malicious individuals to attack his father-in-law and himself. Why give others a handle when he could suppress it at the source?
He also enjoyed seeing this person's despair. After all, she had insulted his wife, so it was his responsibility to drag her into the abyss.
Before this, Zi Yisheng had arranged for Gu Miao and the child to be sent to a remote island, so that he would have no opportunity to rescue Ye Yage.
Ye Yage was overjoyed, even trembling with excitement. As long as she could gain even a shred of sympathy and care from her parents, she wouldn't need Zhao Jiada. She would surely live a life admired by all.
Ouyang personally dialed the phone number at Mom Ye's house. Because Mom Ye was busy working as a strong woman outside and was difficult to find, Ouyang had to make six calls before he finally reached her.
"Ouyang, are you looking for me because Shenge is in trouble? Or are the children in trouble?"
The phone at that time wasn't very soundproof, and Mom Ye's voice could be heard by everyone present. Ye Yage was very familiar with Mom Ye's voice and immediately burst into tears.
"Madam Ye, don't worry. Madam and the children are fine. It's just that someone named Ye Yage claims to be your adopted daughter, and she kept saying that you raised her for fifteen years and abandoned her after finding your biological daughter, and that she would spread this matter."
"Who is Ye Yage?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Ye Yage shrieked and snatched the phone, just as she heard Mom Ye say that.
