Wang Liren whispered, "It's not just a simple lover. Haven't you investigated, Your Majesty? Li Xiaomei has no husband, but she has a child. However, no one knows who the father is."
"I think Yang Qi, who had relations with Li Xiaomei, is Li Xiaoxiao's father."
Ye Ling frowned slightly, "If Yang Qi is Li Xiaoxiao's father, then Yang Qi absolutely wouldn't have survived when Li Xiaomei died."
Wang Liren said, "My friend knew that peeking at others was not a glorious thing, so he never told anyone else about Yang Qi. Others don't know that Li Xiaomei and Yang Qi were lovers. Could it be because they hid it so well that Yang Qi luckily survived?"
Ye Ling shook his head, "With the methods of the mastermind, this is definitely not something that can be hidden by sneaking around. If Yang Qi had intimate relations with Li Xiaomei and they had a daughter, then Li Xiaomei's memory of Yang Qi would definitely be exceptionally deep."
"As long as the mastermind possesses the means to read memories, Yang Qi would not have survived!"
"And to this day, everyone related to Li Xiaomei has died. The mastermind very likely possesses the means to read memories, otherwise, they wouldn't have acted so cleanly and decisively."
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Wang Liren also hesitated, and his excitement was immediately extinguished by half.
"If that's the case, then my friend must have remembered incorrectly... That guy usually likes to drink and talk nonsense, and it's not impossible for him to brag randomly... I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I..."
Ye Ling interrupted, "Not necessarily. If Li Xiaomei possessed the means to erase her own memory, or if Yang Qi himself betrayed Li Xiaomei and defected to the mastermind, he might also have survived."
"Regardless, investigating Yang Qi first won't be wrong. Is he in that building now?"
Wang Liren's eyes lit up again, and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes! I've been watching this building. That Yang Qi is in room 302 and hasn't come out!"
Ye Ling nodded, "Hmm... Let's go in."
The two walked into the building and soon arrived at the door of room 302.
This was an old building with no elevator, and only two households on the first floor.
As Wang Liren was about to knock on the door of 302, he was stopped by Ye Ling.
"Your Majesty?" Wang Liren looked at Ye Ling in confusion, not understanding what Ye Ling meant for a moment.
Ye Ling shook his head, "Don't knock, there's no one in this room."
Upon reaching the third floor, Ye Ling had already scanned the situation in rooms 302 and 301 with his divine soul.
Although room 302 was very clean, there was no one inside. Instead, in room 301, which seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time, a disheveled middle-aged man was hiding.
Room 302 had a sensor installed on the door. Once someone knocked, the person in room 301 would know immediately.
"This guy is not simple..."
Ye Ling looked at room 301, placed his hand on the doorknob, used his demonic energy to unlock the lock, and slowly opened the door.
Creak—
Hearing the sound of the door being opened, the middle-aged man inside immediately put on a baseball cap and jumped out of the window!
"Hey!!!"
Wang Liren saw this, ran quickly to the window, and only saw the middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap landing steadily and running away rapidly.
"Damn it!"
Seeing that the man was about to escape, Wang Liren cursed in a low voice and was about to climb out the window to chase him.
"Stop chasing, he can't escape."
Ye Ling's voice sounded behind Wang Liren, making Wang Liren freeze.
He turned around and looked at Ye Ling with a confused expression, asking, "Your Majesty, could he be Yang Qi?"
Ye Ling stood by the window, watching the figure disappear around the corner in the distance, and said in a low voice, "He should be. As soon as we entered, he jumped out of the window without even looking. This kind of behavior, like a startled bird, shows that he lives in extreme fear every day, afraid that someone will find him."
"Based on this alone, our trip was not in vain." Ye Ling did not rush to chase after him, but walked into Yang Qi's bedroom.
Inside, there was only a simple bed, an air conditioner, and a high-spec computer.
The computer screen was still on, clearly indicating that Yang Qi had just been using the computer.
Wang Liren searched the room for useful clues, while Ye Ling sat in front of the computer to check what Yang Qi was doing.
"Looking at the software on this computer, this Yang Qi is also a hacker, and his technical level seems quite high..."
Ye Ling examined the programs currently running on the computer, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"He seems to be... attacking an official website called Yun Gong..." Da Feng Novel Network
Upon seeing this force, Ye Ling's heart stirred slightly.
Yun Gong, he had heard of it.
After returning to Earth, his divine weapon, Tian Yuan, was responsible for recruiting the hidden aristocratic families on Earth. Many of these forces had intricate connections with the Immortal Realm.
Yun Gong was a hidden force of overseas Chinese. They were very strong and could be considered a super-class force in the world, but their fame was very small. Their disciples rarely interacted with the outside world, and outsiders had basically never heard of them.
The hidden aristocratic families recruited by Tian Yuan all had grievances, big or small, with Yun Gong.
Now that Tian Yuan had finished consolidating its subordinate forces, purged dissidents, and was preparing to take action against Yun Gong.
Ye Ling had heard Tian Yuan mention this force when they were chatting. However, Yun Gong's strength was far inferior to Hong Chen Ge, so Ye Ling had not paid too much attention to that force.
He never expected that while investigating Li Xiaomei, he would become involved with Yun Gong!
Ye Ling browsed the website Yang Qi was attacking and confirmed that it was the overseas Chinese aristocratic family Yun Gong. His eyes narrowed slightly.
Without hesitation, Ye Ling immediately transmitted a message to Tian Yuan, "Xiao Yuan, are you currently investigating matters related to Yun Gong?"
Soon, a lively and cute female voice sounded in Ye Ling's mind, "Yes, Your Majesty! I just integrated three hidden aristocratic families and was preparing to take action against Yun Gong. However, Yun Gong seems to be a tough nut to crack, and I'm still preparing."
"Why do you have time to ask about Yun Gong, Your Majesty? Could it be that you miss Xiao Yuan, so you found an excuse to ask Xiao Yuan?"
Ye Ling was already accustomed to Tian Yuan's personality and didn't react much to her words. He continued, "I'm investigating something here, and it seems to involve the force of Yun Gong."
"I suspect Yun Gong is related to the mastermind who can threaten Your Majesty. Send me the information you've found."
"Yun Gong is related to that mastermind who can threaten Your Majesty?"
Tian Yuan exclaimed, "Impossible... Yun Gong's strength is not even as good as Hong Chen Ge, how could it be..."
Ye Ling said, "This cannot be determined yet, so it needs to be investigated carefully. You should also be serious on your end."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Tian Yuan also realized the seriousness of the matter and stopped joking around. She said solemnly, "I understand, Your Majesty. Please wait a moment, I will immediately organize all the information related to Yun Gong and send it to you!"
