Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021: Hasn’t the Ou Family Been Wiped Out Yet? (6)

Going out?

Ou Mucen heard this and instinctively glanced at her, “Where are you going?”

Bai Tingfang quickly laughed it off, “Just a stroll around the nearby park, I won’t be going far, don’t worry, I have a sense of propriety.”

With that, she went off to tidy up the dishes…

Ou Mucen saw this and didn’t ask further. After he finished his medicine, he stepped into his own bedroom.

Actually, regarding this mother, until now, he truly felt a bit guilty towards her. All these years, she had been living as his wealthy lady in that manor, with everything provided for her.

But now, after he brought down that house, she could only stay here with him as a housekeeper, doing laundry and cooking, as if thrown back to pre-liberation days in an instant.

Ou Mucen’s mood, which wasn’t great to begin with, worsened even more.

Ying Hao had been watching him closely from the side. Seeing Ou Mucen’s face turn unpleasant when he saw his mother washing dishes, he said nothing and brought over his coat and a humidifier, “Young Master, let me help you in to rest.”

“Hmm…”

Ou Mucen nodded and finally stepped in.

Once inside, Ying Hao, who was used to serving him all these years, naturally opened the windows, drew the curtains, and switched on the humidifier. Only when the room’s smell dissipated did he prepare to leave.

“Third Young Master, don’t feel too guilty. This matter isn’t your fault.”

“What?”

Ou Mucen was about to take off his coat to rest when he heard these words, a flash of puzzlement in his eyes.

Ying Hao quickly explained, “I mean, about Master and the Ou Corporation, you don’t need to take it to heart too much, after all, you didn’t know at the time.”

Indeed, at that time, how could he have known it was a conspiracy? If he had known, he wouldn’t have acted so rashly.

But to his surprise, he, whom everyone thought heavy-hearted and brooding due to this mistake, showed no reaction upon hearing this explanation, “I don’t think I did anything wrong!”

“What?”

Ying Hao was taken aback, nothing wrong? Then he…?

“It was owed to the Ye Family in the first place, giving it back to them—what’s wrong with that?”

Ying Hao: “…”

It’s true, but losing it all at once, wouldn’t that make one heartache?

Besides, he was used, if Ying Hao remembered correctly, he most hated being used.

Ying Hao couldn’t understand why the young master had such a mindset at this moment?

“So, since it’s not about this matter, then what’s been causing the frown on Young Master’s forehead?”

“That person behind it all. I’ve been thinking but still have no clue.”

“…”

True, at this point, that issue is the key. Only by finding him can they find the young mistress and know what his next step would be.

Ying Hao finally sensed a bit of gravity, “So do you have any candidates now?”

The person sitting on the bed shook his head, “No, I’ve thought of Lin Huan, but Lin Yebai’s assistant said he’s dead, and Ye Shen was entrusted to Lin Yebai when Lin Huan was dying.”

Dead?

Ying Hao’s brow furrowed…

How could he be dead? At Muchuan, didn’t Old Yan Seven say he only disappeared?
