Driving the car, Xiao Zheng finally returned home.

Leng Ruobing was home alone, while Chu Xiaoran had gone to work.

Seeing Xiao Zheng return, Leng Ruobing first poured him a cup of tea, then asked, "How did it go? Did you meet with Long Qie?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng was initially taken aback, then curiously asked, "How did you know I just went to see Long Qie?"

"Because he called me first. Who told you to keep your phone off all morning?" Leng Ruobing said calmly.

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng finally realized what had happened.

Indeed, his phone had been off earlier. After waking up, he turned it on and received a call from Long Qie. It seemed Long Qie couldn’t reach him and so called Leng Ruobing instead.

"Do you plan to get involved with the matters of the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect?" Leng Ruobing asked, holding a cup of water.

Xiao Zheng thought for a moment, then said, "It’s hard to say for now. After all, if the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect descends into chaos, it’s all gain and no loss for us. The only thing that concerns me is whether someone else is silently pushing this event from behind the scenes."

"If there’s truly someone behind Liu Wufeng, then perhaps that person is our greatest threat."

After hearing this, Leng Ruobing said, "Actually, after hearing what Long Qie said, I also started to have doubts about Liu Wufeng. After all, his sudden madness came too unexpectedly."

"He was able to lead the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect in hiding for so many years. How could he suddenly lose control and go mad in such a short time?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "That’s what I think too, which is why I believe someone is behind the scenes manipulating Liu Wufeng. As for me, I’m waiting for an opportunity."

"An opportunity? Are you referring to Liu Yiyi?" Leng Ruobing asked.

Xiao Zheng laughed and then said, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from you. Yes, this opportunity is indeed related to Liu Yiyi. You should also know that I helped treat her illness last time. Considering the time, she should be close to relapsing."

"Do you think she’ll come to you again? Your identity might already be exposed in the Heavenly Evil Demon Sect," Leng Ruobing said slowly.

Hearing her words, Xiao Zheng was taken aback.

To be honest, he hadn’t really considered that possibility.

Seeing this, Leng Ruobing couldn’t help but shake her head and said, "I think you should call her proactively. Probe her for information first, then make plans accordingly."

Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "I understand. I’ll find time in the afternoon to give her a call. But enough about that, let’s go out to eat. It’s almost one o’clock now, and I don’t feel like cooking at home."

Leng Ruobing nodded, and the two of them left together.

After having a meal near their home, they returned.

Leng Ruobing was prone to drowsiness due to her pregnancy, so after sitting with Xiao Zheng in the living room for a while, she went back to the bedroom to rest. Xiao Zheng, on the other hand, went to the study to call Liu Yiyi.

However, to his surprise, the call went unanswered.

When he attempted a second call, it was directly disconnected.

Such abnormality made Xiao Zheng feel suspicious.

Could it be that Leng Ruobing was indeed right, and Liu Yiyi already knew his identity?

Looking at the phone on the desk, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but frown deeply. Feeling a headache, he decided not to dwell on it. After taking a shower, he went back to the room to take a nap with Leng Ruobing.

When he woke up, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Stretching, Xiao Zheng walked out of the bedroom.

Leng Ruobing, with glasses on her nose, was busy reviewing the company’s recent financial statements. She was the type who couldn’t stay idle, and if it wasn’t for her pregnancy, she’d make sure to report to the company every day.

Xiao Zheng didn’t disturb her. After making a cup of coffee, he went back to the study.

However, upon checking his phone, he found several missed calls. The caller ID made him frown.

"It turns out to be a call from Mo Ye."

"Why would he call me? Could it be something happened to Liu Yiyi?"

With this thought, Xiao Zheng quickly picked up his phone and called Mo Ye back.

The call was initially disconnected, but after two or three minutes, Mo Ye called back.

It was only then that they finally established contact.

Once the call connected, Xiao Zheng broke the silence first: "Mo Ye, is it? I saw several missed calls from you. Is there something you need?"

Hearing this, Mo Ye, with a complex tone, said, "I do have something to discuss with you. You’re probably the only one who can help."

"Did something happen to Liu Yiyi?" Xiao Zheng probed cautiously.

Mo Ye said, "Miss is currently doing okay, but what might happen in the future is uncertain. After much thought, I realized I could only turn to you for help. After all, you are the Evil God, and only you can keep Miss alive."

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng frowned again.

In just a few words, Mo Ye’s careful choice of words revealed a sense of unusualness.

Especially phrases like "currently" and "keep alive" weighed heavily on the mind.

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but ask, "What’s really going on? Even if Liu Wufeng had a drastic change of character, killing his loyal subordinates and adopted son, he wouldn’t harm Liu Yiyi, would he?"

"Even a fierce tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, and Liu Wufeng isn’t truly insane."

Mo Ye sighed and said, "I knew you’d already investigated our Heavenly Evil Demon Sect. However, what you know is only the surface. The Sect Master indeed hasn’t gone mad, yet he’s close."

"He’s been looking at Miss in increasingly unsettling ways, especially after Wei Busheng was imprisoned in the dungeon."

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng frowned and asked, "How could this be? What does Liu Wufeng intend to do? Have you uncovered something? Otherwise, just by the way Liu Wufeng looks at Liu Yiyi, I don’t think you’d make such a judgment."

"I indeed found some clues, but they can’t be easily discussed over the phone," Mo Ye paused for a moment, then asked, "Can you come to Canglong City? We need to discuss this in person."

"If possible, I hope you can take Miss away, the farther the better, and never let her return!"

Xiao Zheng fell silent, unsure of what to say for a moment.
