Chapter 402: Methods
"I can’t confirm that, but I can confirm that this kind of witchcraft is very short-lived," Xu Nuo said. "The people from the Dragon Gate are terrifying. They can use all sorts of strange things, and there’s no way to guard against them. I was almost taken out by it, so there’s no way a thousand Wen Nuans could have handled it."
Ye Ningyuan laughed. Xu Nuo turned her head, puzzled. What was he laughing at? Ye Ningyuan hugged her and kissed her on the lips. "I’ve realized that narcissism is genetic and contagious," he said with a smile.
Xu Nuo said seriously, "Was I wrong? I know everything and I was still almost taken out. Besides, I’m from the Dragon Gate. There’s no need to even mention Wen Nuan. She can be easily controlled. Who did she offend anyway? Did your dad say anything else?"
"Du Yueying!"
"Someone from the Du family." Xu Nuo thought for a moment and opened her database. Because she had met many people with special abilities from different places, Xu Nuo had tried to collect as much information as possible on them. Ye Ningyuan was more cunning and would usually poach them before she could. She didn’t mind, but she had still collected a lot of information over the years.
"The Du family is also known for their witchcraft, but their witchcraft doesn’t include mind control. Their witchcraft is also more brutal. It’s a one-hit kill. Old Master Du and Madame Du are kind-hearted and haven’t used their traditional witchcraft for decades. Dudi also rarely uses it. As for Du Yueying, that girl has a lot of bad records, but they’re all small pranks. They’re harmless and not from the Du family’s witchcraft. They’re just minor witchcraft from other sects. It’s not a surprise. The Dragon Gate’s witchcraft is not passed on to outsiders, so Du Yueying shouldn’t know it. Didn’t Moxia say a while ago that Wen Nuan was from the Dragon Gate? Could there be a connection?"
Ye Ningyuan shrugged. "We’ll find out if we just catch Du Yueying and ask her."
"Don’t mess with the Du family, really. They are not to be trifled with," Xu Nuo said with a calm smile. "You can solve a problem with a missile when you’re angry, but there are some things in the Dragon Gate that we can’t touch. There are taboos."
"I understand, but you want me to just stand by and watch Feimo fall apart and lose a baby?" Ye Ningyuan frowned. "That kid has never worried me before. His love life is a mess. I’m really worried about him."
Xu Nuo nodded. "It’s pointless to talk about who was right or wrong now. I heard that Dudi is a decent guy. You should try to talk to him. This is not a small matter. Even if he wants to protect his sister, it depends on whether we agree. It’s better to be polite first, then use force later."
"Your usual way of doing things is to be polite first, then use force later. My way is to use force first, then be polite later."
"That’s why I’m the soldier, and you’re the thief." Xu Nuo smiled, and Ye Ningyuan’s mood also improved. He hugged her tenderly. "What does it matter if I’m a soldier or a thief? In the end, the soldier still has to listen to the thief."
Xu Nuo shook her head and patted his hand. "Let go. I have to find Tianyu. You can continue with your investigation."
"Why do you need to find that kid again? I’m getting jealous," Ye Ningyuan grumbled.
"How old are you, Mr. Ye Ningyuan?"
"Thirty-six. A man in his prime," Ye Ningyuan said proudly.
Xu Nuo looked at him sideways. "Are you saying thirty-six is not a woman’s prime?"
"Wife, you’re thirty-six, but you look like you’re twenty. You’re still in your prime."
Xu Nuo was speechless. "Go use those words on Feimo and see if he falls for them."
Ye Ningyuan was silent!
"Nuo Nuo, if I accidentally pushed you down the stairs and you lost our baby, would you forgive me?"
"That’s a stupid question, isn’t it?" Xu Nuo tilted her head and laughed. "No matter how clumsy I am, I wouldn’t fall down the stairs from a single push from you."
This was a terrible analogy.
"I said it’s a hypothetical question."
"Seriously, I would only think about things that are possible. This kind of thing is not possible," Xu Nuo said. Ye Ningyuan glared at her. Was he being too nice to his wife? So much so that she wouldn’t even consider this scenario? Fine. He was a good husband. Xu Nuo laughed. "Fine, I’ll think about it seriously..."
After a moment, Xu Nuo got up. "Forget it. I can’t think of anything. I’m going to call our son and then take a shower."
"Let’s go together. I want to..."
"Get out!"
Dudi had been looking for Du Yueying for days, but he couldn’t find her. He was in A City, but Du Yueying had gone back to the US and was nowhere to be found. He sent people to look for her in many places, but they couldn’t find her. If he wasn’t worried about Wen Nuan, he would have gone back to the US a long time ago.
That stupid girl. She did something wrong and then disappeared without a trace. How could she do something so wicked?
Dudi was furious.
This was the first time in so many years that he had been so angry.
At first, he wasn’t suspicious about what happened with Wen Nuan and Fang Liucheng. He only found out after the news came out and thought they were drunk and just got carried away. The Ye family had taken the security footage from the hotel as soon as the incident happened, so he didn’t have a chance to see it. He had always thought it was an accident. Even if someone had set them up, he never thought it was Du Yueying.
After coming back from Green Light that day, Du Yueying had stayed at home and hadn’t gone out. Dudi couldn’t believe that Du Yueying would hurt Wen Nuan.
Tang Shuwen asked him about Du Yueying and gave him a copy of the video to watch. That’s when he realized something was wrong. But by then, she was already gone.
Besides the three major families, very few people could see the hidden clues. Dudi knew that if the Ye family found out, they wouldn’t let Du Yueying go. Linda had announced that Han Bi was seriously ill and was resting, but he knew that the Dragon Gate had taken Han Bi, and her fate would be miserable.
You can’t choose your family. Du Yueying had done something wrong, so she had to be punished, but Dudi wouldn’t let an outsider do it. Du Yueying’s talent in witchcraft was higher than anyone else’s since she was a child. No one else could control her but him.
But he had to tell Ye Feimo the truth: that Wen Nuan was innocent.
He didn’t want Ye Feimo and Wen Nuan to have problems because of this. Just as Dudi was about to call Ye Feimo, Wen Nuan called him and asked to meet him at Central Park.
He had gone to see her once after her miscarriage, but she hadn’t said anything. The incident had hit her very hard. Wen Nuan’s mother said she had been like that the whole time, not talking to anyone. So why did she want to see him now?
Dudi was confused, but he agreed to meet her.
He owed Wen Nuan an explanation. This time, no matter what, he wouldn’t let his sister get away with it.
