Chapter 164: Chapter 0164: Tracking (Part 4)_1
 

Back home, all four women were waiting in the living room, and they all gathered around him as he returned.

“Brother, where have you been? Everyone’s been worried about you!” Yangyang was the first to come over and ask.

“Just taking care of some business with a friend,” Ye Xiong replied.

Yang Yueru looked at him with complex emotions in her eyes.

Just now, after discovering that Ye Xiong’s true identity was Ye Jun, the wealthy second-generation heir that caused such a stir seven years ago, Yang Yueru simply couldn’t believe her ears.

If it weren’t for Ye Yangyang’s resemblance to Ye Xiong and Yang Xinyi’s confirmation, Yang Yueru would have thought Tang Ning was joking!

Years ago, Ye Jun was a notorious young master in Capital City.

He was academically brilliant, a real scholarly type.

He was the top scorer of Boya School, with the highest marks in the college entrance examination that year.

However, at that time, his mother had just died; and after beating up his father, Ye Yuandong, he was sent to the military.

People back then said that Ye Yuandong had gone mad for sending his only son into the army instead of university, effectively ruining his life.

As for the rumors, Father Ye Yuandong never explained, bearing a great deal of infamy and being labeled as the most heartless father in Capital City.

At that time, Yang Yueru was particularly curious about the affairs of the wealthy families and even followed the related reports closely.

“Wow, so you are Ye Jun, my idol!” Yang Yueru said with a laugh, teasing him.

“Auntie, please don’t make fun of me, okay?” Ye Xiong said with a pained expression.

“Daring to hit your old man, and in such a setting, too—pretty badass!” Yang Yueru gave a thumbs up, laughing, “For those like Ye Yuandong who forget their humble wives and are seduced by mistresses, a good beating is exactly what they deserve. By the way, what exactly happened? How did you hit him?”

“It wasn’t long after mom died that the newspapers published photos of him meeting that evil woman Dong Xuan in a hotel. I was so angry that I went to look for him at the company.”

“How did you hit him?”

“The company was having a board and management meeting at the time. A female secretary was guarding the door and wouldn’t let me in, so I threw her aside, pushed the door open, went over, and slapped him twice.”

Ye Xiong recounted the incident.

“Where did you hit him, left cheek or right cheek? How hard?” Yang Yueru asked like a fan digging for gossip.

“It’s been so long, I can’t remember, but I think after I hit him, I also kicked him… and then I smashed a laptop on his head,” Ye Xiong recalled.

“Wow, brother-in-law, you used to be so cool?” Tang Ning exclaimed, saying, “It sounds like you had a pretty bad temper back then.”

“My brother did have a big temper before, everyone was afraid of him. While he was still around, Dong Xuan and her daughter never dared to meet with dad in front of him and always hid from him. At that time, no one dared to bully me,” Ye Yangyang said proudly.

“I was young and impulsive, not knowing my own strength. After five or six years in the military, my temper has changed somewhat,” Ye Xiong said with a smile.

“The military really does mold a person. It’s good to be like this now—what’s the use of being hot-tempered? Just don’t let Xinyi be bullied,” Yang Yueru said with a laugh.

Yang Xinyi couldn’t imagine that Ye Xiong once had such a personality, and she found herself gaining a new understanding of him.

The group chatted about the past.

Yang Yueru and her daughter seemed extremely interested in Ye Xiong’s past exploits, digging for every detail. Ye Xiong, growing tired of the questions, was relieved to have his sister Yangyang answer them.

In the blink of an eye, it was already evening, and the party of four went to the hotel to attend the housewarming banquet.

Midway through the meal, Ye Xiong’s phone rang—an unfamiliar number.

“If you have time, make your way to Room 304 at the Eagle Hotel. I think you will find it worthwhile,” Chen Xiao said mysteriously over the phone.

“What is it about?”

“You should see it for yourself. I’m off to investigate other things,” said Chen Xiao before hanging up, his tone heavy with implication.

What the hell is this guy up to?

Ye Xiong decided to take a look. Chen Xiao wasn’t the kind to joke around. If he suggested he should go, there must be a good reason.

“I’ve got something to take care of and will be back soon,” Ye Xiong informed the three women beside him, then drove towards the Eagle Hotel.

The Eagle Hotel was not far from the hotel where his banquet was being held—just a ten-minute drive away.

Once he got the room number from the front desk, he headed for the elevator.

He quickly reached the third floor.

Pulling out his phone, he hacked the door’s system and, after a few tries at the sensor, the door opened.

Just as he was about to enter, he found the inside chain lock fastened, blocking entry.

Unless he forced his way through, which would alarm the person inside, letting them know someone was there.

Just then, a soft moaning sound emanated from the room.

Connecting the dots with what he had asked Chen Xiao to investigate, he guessed that the people inside were having an affair, likely involving the woman he despised, Dong Xuan.

Poor Ye Yuandong, his wife having an affair behind his back; he really had a significant green hat to wear.

For a man as old as him to marry a woman over a decade younger, wasn’t he just asking to be cuckolded?

Ye Xiong had been wanting to exact revenge on Ye Yuandong, and now he finally had the opportunity.

And what could be more devastating than letting him know his wife was cheating on him with another man?

He took out a thin piece of wire from his pocket and threaded it through the door crack, carefully manipulating it, and soon the door was unlocked.

Turning on his phone’s video recorder, he quietly approached the center of the room.

On the bed, two naked bodies were entwined together.

Their coordination was excellent, and judging by their synergy, it was clear they had been involved for quite some time.

Poor Ye Yuandong, he had no idea how long he had been wearing this green hat.
