Chapter 156: Third Young Master Ye, You’re Such A Two-faced Man! (XII)

Ye Lanchen had the suspect right in front of his eyes!
“Third Elder Brother, do you hear me?” Fifth Young Master Shen was getting worried at the long silence from the other end of the phone. Was Third Elder Brother not even allowing him a chance to rectify his mistake?
“I heard you.” Ye Lanchen’s voice sounded a little unusual but Fifth Young Master Shen failed to understand the reason.
“Third Elder Brother, do you have a suspect in mind?”Fifth Young Master Shen understood Ye Lanchen pretty well. Third Elder Brother’s reply must mean that the information he disclosed earlier was useful to the former. It was highly possible that the Third Elder Brother was already suspecting someone.
Ye Lanchen refused to comment but he could not tear his eyes away from the glass that Chu Wuyou had used earlier.
She utilized both hands to hold the glass whilst she drank just now. She had probably left her fingerprints on the aforementioned glass.
In other words, he could inspect it anytime he desired.
Right at this moment, however, several notification alerts appeared on his phone screen. To be more precise, the alerts appeared on both his and Fifth Young Master Shen’s phone screen simultaneously.
“Third Elder Brother, don’t hesitate to bring over your suspect’s fingerprints. Perhaps you can actually discover something,” Fifth Young Master Shen nagged once more.
“Third Elder Brother, I’ll hang up now.” For the first time ever, Fifth Young Master Shen hung up on Ye Lanchen as he thought the continuous alerts concerned the case.
“Fifth Elder Brother, I heard that you cracked the thorny case. Will there be a massive reward in the end!!” The notification alerts came from the group chat consisting of all seven of them.
“The thorny case that perplexed Lil Five for two years? It was solved? How?” Second Young Master Zhuo surfaced too. “Is it because of that beautiful woman that Lil Five mentioned before?”
“Beautiful woman? Is that… Big Brother’s woman you’re talking about? She deserves to be Big Brother’s woman. Impressive,” Xi Ji commented further.
Ye Lanchen’s visibly relaxed expression tensed up again at the sight of Xi Ji’s message.
“The person that Big Brother has introduced, yes, but I didn’t say she’s Big Brother’s woman. There’s a massive difference between the two.” Fifth Young Master Shen sucked in through his teeth as he clarified.
Third Elder Brother must be reading the conversation too. Could Third Elder Brother remain calm as he read these messages? Shen Ting doubted it as he was reminded of his Third Elder Brother’s attitude toward the woman earlier.
It was obvious to him that Third Elder Brother was more concerned about this incident, and reacted more impulsively compared to Big Brother.
That Third Elder Brother was different from the man than he knew. He figured that woman seemed important to the former.
“Anyway, I still think that she’s Big Brother’s woman. Perhaps she’s already our Big Sister-in-law. Perhaps Big Brother wanted to introduce her to us this way? Don’t you see that Big Brother hasn’t tried to deny it?” Xi Ji who was unclear of the situation was persistent in his speculation.
“Xi Ji, you’ll leave tomorrow to take over the project in Africa.” Ye Lanchen’s confusing remark appeared in the chat out of the blue.
This one phrase had cleared the doubts of Fifth Young Master Shen who was initially skeptical.
Fifth Young Master Shen supported his forehead helplessly as he thought, ‘Brother, don’t blame me for not saving you because it’s really out of the question. I tried my best but your brain’s too slow to respond.’
“Why? Third Elder Brother, why did you suddenly assign me to Africa? I don’t want to go there, Third Elder Brother. I don’t want to go. Isn’t there already someone in charge of that project?” Fourth Young Master Xi was completely flabbergasted. What was wrong with Third Elder Brother? Why was he assigned to Africa without any warning?!
Had he said something wrong?!
