In the elegant room, a woman holding a phone was standing quietly in front of the French window. The sunlight shone down on her face like a beautiful painting.
As she stood there, an invisible aura couldn't help but emanate from her. That unique sense of tranquility and elegance was enough to captivate people.
"Hello?" The phone in her hand was connected. She elegantly raised the phone and placed it next to her ear. "Xiaoxiao, this is Ling An. How have you been recently?"
The person who answered the phone was Ye Hanyi, while Dong Xiaoxiao was still unconscious.
Ling An? Ye Hanyi silently said in his heart. Ling An was Crane Forest's aunt. Perhaps she would know something. From what he knew, Ling An and Dong Xiaoxiao had a good relationship. This was an opportunity!
"Mhmm, I've been living quite well recently, but I heard that your family doesn't seem to be that good." He pretended to be worried and made Ling An feel like he knew something.
"Actually, it's nothing much. It's not a big deal." Ye Hanyi felt that something must have happened to the He family recently. He smiled slightly and said, "I already know. You don't have to hide it from me. Let's talk about it together."
Ling An was stunned. Although she didn't know how Dong Xiaoxiao knew, since she already knew, perhaps it wasn't a big deal to tell her.
After tidying up the words in his mind, a voice that was like clear spring came out from the phone, "Nothing much, it was just that the Crane Forest went to beat up Zhao Hua Xiang and I pulled him back.
It's very likely that the person who assassinated him is Zhao Hua Xiang. It's just that now is not the time to make a move.
Hearing this, how could Ye Hanyi not know what had happened? He smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not Xiaoxiao, I'm Ye Hanyi. We are sharing the same body, it's just that there was an accident and Xiao Xiao's consciousness has fallen into a deep sleep.
Ye Hanyi paused for a moment and continued, "Xiao Xiao's mother has been captured by the Crane Forest. I hope you can come with us to save her."
Ling An found it hard to accept that Xiao Xiao's body was controlled by two minds. She had never encountered such a situation before, but the voice on the phone was obviously Xiaoxiao, so she couldn't have heard wrong.
After hesitating for a while, she didn't want to let the crane forest go astray, so she might as well trust this person for now.
"I can work with you, but I have a condition."
Seeing that there was hope, Ye Hanyi let out a sigh of relief in his heart. What he was most afraid of was that Ling An didn't believe that he was unwilling to cooperate with him, which would greatly increase the difficulty of rescuing him.
"What condition?" He answered without any hesitation.
Ling An let out a long breath, "You're not allowed to hurt the Crane Forest. Promise me and I'll help you."
So that's the case. Ye Hanyi agreed without hesitation. It had to be said that the Crane Forest had a good aunt, and at this time, she was even thinking for him.
After accepting that he needed to contact her, the hand holding the phone gradually drooped down and the room became quiet again. There were some things that required her confirmation to find out, such as why their consciousness occupied the same body and why Dong Xiaoxiao fainted.
Not long after, the phone rang again. As expected, it was Dong Xiaoxiao's number.
"Do you have time now?"
Ling An froze for a moment. Could it be that the plan had started so quickly?
"Anytime, what's wrong?"
"Is it convenient for you to come out? We'll all wait for you in the Deep Blue 53."
Deep Blue was their small bar. The more such a place was, the less eye-catching it was, and the more convenient it was for them to discuss some matters.
Ye Hanyi had already arranged a private room for Le Xiao and Tang Shirley.
He was really afraid that Ling An wouldn't agree. If there wasn't Ling An and the others, it would be much more difficult to rescue them because they didn't understand the structure of the He family and didn't know where Dong Xiaoxiao's mother would be locked up.
At this time, they needed a spy to coordinate with them. Ling An was perfect. Her status in the He family was fine, but walking around without arousing suspicion was the key to success or failure.
"Dang, dang, dang."
As the door was knocked, Ye Hanyi got up to open it. The person who had come was the person he had mentioned — Ling An.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Ye Hanyi was lost in thought. He did not expect her to actually come. This increased his chances of rescuing Dong Xiaoxiao's mother.
"Aren't you going to let me in? Are you going to talk to me at the door? " Ling An smiled at Ye Hanyi and said jokingly.
"No, I welcome your presence."
Closing the door, the four of them sat face to face, their expressions very solemn.
Ling An gracefully raised her cup and took a sip of tea. Only after seeing Dong Xiaoxiao herself today did she believe what Ye Hanyi had said. Ye Hanyi and Dong Xiaoxiao had two entirely different temperaments. Ye Hanyi's temperament was rather cold, while Dong Xiaoxiao's temperament was very gentle.
"Do you have any plans?" Putting down the cup, Ling An looked at the leader of the group, the one who used Dong Xiaoxiao's body.
"Of course there's a plan. Let me tell you about it first." Tang Shirley rushed to say it before Ye Hanyi could reply. Her face was filled with arrogance, as if she was saying, "Hurry up and praise me."
At last, after Tang Shirley had drunk two glasses of water, Ling An knew more or less what they were planning, and with her intellect she guessed what they needed her to do.
"So you're saying you want me to find out where Xiaoxiao's mother is being held?"
The few of them nodded.
"Then I will leave first. I will investigate as soon as possible and contact you when the time comes." Ling An blandly smiled, leaving them to a few people.
Ling An naturally wasn't idle when she went back. She would do what she had promised, and she would find out Xiao Xiao's mother's position just for her.
She had been to the Crane Family's place before, big and small. There was only one place where he had never let her approach, and now that he had taken over, she was even more wary of that place.
He didn't stop and looked at the people around him. Ling An ignored them and walked over.
As expected, he was stopped.
"You can't enter this place."
Ling An's face darkened. "Even I can't enter?"
A person that looked like the leader of the group looked at her with a troubled expression. Her identity was indeed something they couldn't stop, but he had ordered them to stop anyone who got close.
"Forget it, if you really don't want me to go in, then so be it." With that, he pretended to be angry and left.
Sure enough, Xiao Xiao's mother was imprisoned here. There was only this place that she was not allowed to enter. Other than this place, there was probably no other place.
He silently noted down this place in his heart. This was probably the Crane Family's secret dungeon.
