"Mr. Wan!"
Wang Teng was excited to see Wan Dongming and rushed to greet him, "I didn't expect you to be here too..."
"Third brother, you're eating here."
However, Wan Dongming ignored Wang Teng and quickly walked up to Wan Yunting and said, "I'm eating with Mr. Lin and the others in the private room next door. Why didn't you tell me you were eating here tonight, you brat."
Wan Yunting also didn't expect his second brother to be dining here with clients tonight, and said with a smile, "I'm accompanying Pei Pei to have dinner with her parents."
"Pei Pei."
Wan Dongming smiled and nodded to Jiang Pei Pei.
However, this scene stunned Wang Teng, who looked at his boss, Wan Dongming, in disbelief, seeing that he was brothers with that Wan Yunting.
They both had the surname Wan, no wonder...
Wang Teng was completely dumbfounded. Yu Hongying noticed her son's unusual demeanor and pulled him aside, asking, "Xiao Teng, what's wrong?"
Wang Teng, having recovered, felt a pang of bitterness. He pointed at Wan Dongming and said, "He is Wan Dongming, the chairman of Wang Corporation!"
"Ah, he's the boss of your company now."
Yu Hongying and Wang Mingye looked at Wan Dongming and Wan Yunting addressing each other as "second brother" and "third brother" with shocked expressions. "Then they are..."
For a moment, the Wang family of three wore peculiar expressions. They had just mocked the other as a mere traditional Chinese medicine doctor and an elementary school teacher, but now, it turned out they were the younger brother of their son's boss.
"You're the new department manager, aren't you?"
At this moment, Wan Dongming turned his head and asked Wang Teng, "Do you need something?"
"I, I'm fine..."
Wang Teng reacted quickly, shaking his head and smiling. He felt a mix of emotions.
Wan Yunting ignored him and said to Wan Dongming, "Brother, let's go back together. I need to move my things to the new house."
"Okay."
Wan Dongming nodded, and after saying goodbye to his clients and bosses, he went downstairs with Wan Yunting and Jiang Pei Pei's family. Wang Teng and his parents could only follow behind, not daring to speak further.
"Pei Pei, then you and your parents can go back."
At the ground floor, Wan Yunting said to Jiang Pei Pei. She nodded, and they drove off in her parents' car, the family of three heading home. Of course, they had also said goodbye to the Wang family.
"Mr. Wan, please take care..."
Wang Teng bowed and smiled from afar at Wan Dongming, then drove his parents away dejectedly.
"Third brother, do you know that person?"
Wan Dongming was curious why he was eating with Wang Teng and his family.
"I don't know him, but his character isn't great," Wan Yunting said. Both he and his second brother had been drinking, so they had to call a designated driver.
"Alright, I'll fire him as soon as I get back," Wan Dongming said without hesitation. Hearing his third brother say that, Wang Teng's character must indeed be poor.
Upon returning to his second brother's house, his second sister-in-law, Wang Chulin, and her mother, Zheng Peihui, were in the living room taking care of Wan'er. Ye Manni had not returned, likely out with her classmates.
Wan Yunting didn't worry about her safety, knowing that Ye Jiao had arranged for people to protect Ye Manni discreetly.
He greeted his second sister-in-law and went upstairs to his room to pack his clothes. Ye Manni also happened to return then. Wan Yunting asked her to pack her things too, so they could move to the new house on Sheng Tangding Mountain together. This would avoid disturbing his second brother and second sister-in-law's lives by continuing to live there.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, once I find a suitable nanny, I'll have Wan'er come stay with me. She can live wherever she wants anyway," Wan Yunting said as he came downstairs, helping Ye Manni put her luggage in the car, and smiling at Wan Dongming and Wang Chulin.
"Third uncle, don't go. Wan'er wants to sleep with you..."
Wan'er immediately ran up, hugged Wan Yunting's thigh, and pouted playfully.
"Wan'er, be good. When Third Uncle finds a nanny, I'll take you to my new house to stay for a few days. If you miss Second Aunt, you can come back to Second Aunt's place, okay?" Wan Yunting picked Wan'er up and comforted her with a smile.
Wang Chulin stepped forward and took the little girl, saying with a smile, "Tomorrow, I'll take you to Third Uncle's new house to play."
"Okay, okay," Wan'er finally agreed.
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled, "Then we'll be going back now."
"Mhm, bye..."
Wan Dongming and Wang Chulin waved goodbye, watching Wan Yunting and Ye Manni leave. The couple sighed. Although they wished their third brother would continue to stay with them, they knew he had his own way of life...
They drove directly back to their new home, Villa No. 9 on Sheng Tangding Mountain. Wan Yunting let Ye Manni choose a room for herself. They busied themselves packing, finishing around midnight. Then, they sat in the living room downstairs, eating the late-night delivery meal they had ordered, and discussed the need to find a nanny.
Otherwise, with such a large house, doing housework would be exhausting.
Just then, Fang Yanxi called him, saying she was on her flight and would be back in Huadu City tomorrow morning, asking him to pick her up at the airport!
Wan Yunting was excited, not expecting the woman to return early...
The next morning, Wan Yunting woke up early and then began to climb Sheng Tangding Mountain, running all the way to the summit to breathe in the natural energy of the mountain.
Although his Stone Gate acupoint was sealed with malevolent energy and he couldn't absorb the energy of heaven and earth to cultivate his inner strength, Wan Yunting could still practice his martial arts, such as the Xingyi Quan he learned from Li Shuyun last time, and the Five Elements Palm...
However, at this moment, in a residential building in Songlang Village, North City District, at the entrance of a secluded alley, police tape had already been put up. Many surrounding residents were gathered outside, pointing and gesturing towards the alley.
"Make way..."
Zhou Dong and Niu Qiuling, along with Wu Lei and Huang Yongxin, squeezed through the crowd of residents, lifted the tape, and entered the crime scene. Several police officers had already secured the area. A young man's body lay on the ground.
Zhou Dong and Niu Qiuling's group approached. Upon seeing two puncture marks on the victim's neck, everyone's brows immediately furrowed...
Wan Yunting came down from the mountaintop and returned home. Ye Manni had also woken up. The two of them got ready to go out to work and school...
However, when he returned to his room, Wan Yunting picked up his phone and saw several missed calls from Zhou Dong and Niu Qiuling, which made him raise an eyebrow. He immediately called Zhou Dong back, "Hello, Captain Zhou, what's wrong?"
"Yunting, we found a body this morning in Songlang Village, North City District!" Zhou Dong said into his phone, having already returned to the police station.
Wan Yunting frowned and asked, "The same cause of death?"
"Yes."
Zhou Dong said with a very solemn expression, "If you have time now, could you please come to the police station?"
"Okay, I'm on my way."
Wan Yunting didn't expect another death. He hung up the phone, quickly changed his clothes, and went downstairs. He saw Ye Manni had also finished getting ready. "Mannie, I can't take you to school today. I have something to attend to at the police station."
"Oh, I'll take a taxi myself then." Ye Manni naturally didn't mind.
"Mhm, I'll buy you a car later so you can drive yourself to school," Wan Yunting said as he walked out with Ye Manni.
"No need, Brother Wan. I can buy it myself. My mom gives me plenty of pocket money," Ye Manni said with a smile.
Wan Yunting nodded. The two of them got into the car and first drove out of the residential compound. They stopped at a bus stop on the main road to make it convenient for Ye Manni to get a taxi, and then he drove directly to the police station...
