Ye Fei couldn't help but be taken aback. He had often noticed that kind of look in Lin Ling's eyes before, but now, her gaze had shifted—it was filled with admiration and attachment rather than affection. Yet, this kind of look was something he thought should only be exchanged between lovers. So why did his aunt have the same look when she glanced at Yu Wuxia?
Could it be? Ye Fei considered a possibility. Reflecting on how his aunt appeared repulsed when looking at General Qian, the idea seemed even more plausible. It's often said that people with certain preferences instinctively reject the opposite sex.
But then, why was his aunt so affectionate towards him, another man? Even with his intelligence, Ye Fei couldn't fully unravel the mystery, but he discovered something disconcerting—he actually hoped they were involved. The thought of the two women, both with beautiful figures and faces, holding each other like lovers excited him. Of course, it would be even better if he could somehow be involved.
While these wild thoughts raced through his mind, the short award ceremony concluded. Liu Junyi, after a few polite words, led Yu Wuxia over to the table where Ye Fei and the others were seated.
Still distracted, Ye Fei hoped to observe them closely, but the two women separated once they arrived. Liu Junyi joined her sisters, while Yu Wuxia seated herself between Lin Ling and Ye Yunqi, engaging in a quiet conversation with them.
Soon, several guests approached to offer congratulations to Liu Junyi, bringing toasts and well-wishes. The table quickly became lively with conversation and laughter.
Ye Fei, however, wasn't fond of such occasions. He stood up, intending to get some fresh air. He thought about asking Lin Ling and Ye Yunqi to join him, but Lin Ling, accustomed to these gatherings since childhood, stayed behind.
To his surprise, Ye Yunqi, who usually enjoyed these things even less than him, also remained. But since Ye Fei shared a bond with her, he understood. She, like Lin Ling, wanted to learn how to handle these social situations and not just be a pretty accessory to her brother.
But Ye Fei was a little late. The call was wrapping up. Lowering his voice, General Qian said, "Senior General, rest assured. The fish is in the net—there's no chance of escape!" With that, he ended the call, glanced around to ensure no one was nearby, and swiftly left the rooftop.
Watching General Qian disappear, Ye Fei was even more astonished. He hadn't expected that the General was skilled in martial arts. Though nowhere near as powerful as Ye Fei himself, General Qian was comparable in strength to his mother.
Although Liu Yiru's martial arts were not considered top-tier in the martial world, she was among the strongest in the secular world, and the same held true in military circles. While Liu Junyi's promotion to major general was a significant event in Wanghai, it was likely a small matter to those in Beijing.
But for such a trivial matter, a master had been sent. The implications were serious. Thinking about the general's words again—"the fish is in the net"—Ye Fei wondered if the fish referred to his aunt. He felt the shadow of a conspiracy hanging over them.
Sensing a brewing crisis, Ye Fei decided he couldn't remain passive any longer. He needed to take the initiative and uncover the identity of the person General Qian had spoken to. While military communications would be heavily encrypted, that posed little challenge for Ye Fei, one of the world's foremost hacker.
Heading downstairs, he found a quiet room, locked the door, and took out his PDA. After a series of complex operations, he managed to hack into the military's radio network and pull General Qian's call records. As he suspected, the call had been top-secret, but when he saw the identity of the person on the other end, he was stunned.

In the next chapter there is some very mild lesbian scene (someone may not even count it as lesbian or yuri) both of the involved women aren't Ye Fei women so no need to fret .
