The seemingly lazy wife is a master of metaphysics, specializing in dealing with those who dare to d

Ye Xiao's voice trembled, like the last withered leaf clinging to a branch in a strong wind.

"They don't have that kind of ability..."

"If they could help me find someone kind-hearted, I'd give them everything I have!"

"For over thirty years, I've squandered my entire fortune searching for Xin Hao, but how have these good-for-nothings repaid me?"

"The money's all gone, but things still aren't done well!"

"From master to apprentice, to grand-apprentice, how many generations have passed? Not even a trace of Xin Hao has been found!"

"Useless, all of them are useless!..."

Yu Dong, humiliated by the scolding, retorted with a bitter face, "Boss Ye, although you did give us a lot of money, you can't talk about us like that! We did our best! Although we didn't find the person you were looking for, we did help you live a few more years, so you can still look forward with hope... That's our contribution too!"

Ye Xiao used the last bit of strength in his body to grab the ashtray next to him and smash it at Yu Dong.

He kept cursing, "Useless, you're all useless..."

Seeing that the man was about to collapse, Jun Yao couldn't help but let out a soft hiss.

"At least tell the whole story before you die, okay? Who exactly is Xinhao? When did she disappear? Where did she disappear from? Why did she disappear? What happened before she disappeared? Who's just going to wait and see...?"

Zhou Yichuan pulled her closer. "Let me explain."

"Xinhao, her full name is Su Xinhao."

"She used to be Grandpa Ye's lover."

"33 years ago, after a thunderstorm, Grandma Xinhao disappeared."

"Because she left no letters or keepsakes, Grandpa Ye still refused to believe that she had run away from home."

"The police were notified years ago, but the case has remained unresolved because the person has not been found. Grandpa Ye has indeed issued missing person notices through various formal channels, but unfortunately, there has been no news."

Zhou Yichuan paused, looked at Ye Xiao lying on the sofa, barely breathing, and his tone became more gentle.

He continued, "After you finished filming the first episode of the third season of 'Heartbeat Threshold,' I renegotiated the filming location for the next episode with the production team, remember?"

Jun Yao nodded.

Zhou Yichuan blinked gently. "At that time, I learned from them that the behind-the-scenes sponsor of this program was none other than Grandpa Ye."

"For the past three seasons, all the recording locations have been provided by Grandpa Ye."

"I had someone specifically investigate these places, and none of them were just rumors. These target locations do indeed have significant problems."

"In other words, you are just another part of his plan to find Su Xinhao."

Jun Yao suddenly realized, "So, the Phoenix Cave is a bait, used to lure someone capable of subduing the snake demon to appear, and then be invited there by Old Master Ye to work for him?"

"Yes, that's definitely a plan for later..."

Ye Xiao regained some of his composure and took the initiative to explain, "In the beginning, this Phoenix Grotto was created by a professional stone carving master who spent five or six years of his life quietly crafting this breathtaking work of art..."

"At that time, I wanted to dedicate this exquisite work of art to Xinhao..."

"Because she has an exceptionally high aesthetic sense and her artistic talent is unparalleled..."

"So I think she would really like it if she saw this grotto!"

"If she's willing to show herself, regardless of whether we reconcile or not, I'll tell her that this grotto was built specifically for her..."

After saying all this, Ye Xiao could not control his emotions and burst into tears.

"I knew she was afraid of thunderstorms, so when she was still with me, I built her a stone house specifically to block out the thunder..."

"On the stormy night before she disappeared, I canceled all my business and social engagements to stay by her side..."

"For the past thirty-odd years, I've repeatedly recalled every single detail of that day..."

"I can't think of anything else that could be improved..."

"But I don't want to believe that she chose to leave me!"

"I've done everything I can to be good to her..."

"Money, power, status, beauty—I'll give her whatever she wants! Wealth, luxury, and a life free from want..."

"Apart from not creating a separate country belonging to our two nations, I made her experience everything else!"

"Who else could make her this happy without me?"

"I simply can't understand why she left me!"

Ye Xiao screamed madly, his messy, dry white hair falling like strands of withered vines of despair from his forehead.

Jun Yao pushed Zhou Yichuan away from her embrace and complained softly, "I'm not boneless, I can stand on my own."

Then the conversation returned to Ye Xiao's matter.

"You can search for your former lover however you like, but how could you try to take advantage of our grandmother?"

Ye Xiao wiped away the tears streaming down his face with difficulty and explained, "I didn't mean to hurt her... I noticed you because of your performance in the first episode of 'Heartbeat Threshold'..."

"But I've also inquired around a lot, and Zhou Yichuan is keeping a close eye on you. If you take the initiative to visit, he might not be able to persuade you to work for him..."

"Therefore, after I learned from the production team that he wanted to change the filming location for the second episode, I simply decided to play along and lure you to Phoenix Grottoes, presenting you with the old snake that had taken my grotto gifts as a greeting gift..."

Jun Yao was greatly shocked.

She really was part of this man's painstaking plan to win back his wife!

Zhou Yichuan was also shocked.

And, I felt angry again.

He went to great lengths and painstaking efforts to help Jun Yao avoid these dangers.

Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, they still couldn't escape Ye Xiao's grand plan!

"I didn't really mean to harm the old lady..."

"She's been my friend for so many years, and she knows I've been sincerely searching for someone kind..."

"We've also collaborated in business many times; our relationship is even stronger than that of siblings..."

"So, before transferring that illness to her, I had already experienced the pain of being afflicted by illness myself..."

"After confirming repeatedly that this illness would only make her drowsy and weak, we resorted to this desperate measure..."

"But I also know that the Zhou family has set up all sorts of obstacles to protect Zhou Yichuan..."

"The old lady is surrounded by numerous experts and masters..."

"I'm worried that the pathogenic factors will be completely eradicated before they even have a chance to take effect..."

"I had no choice but to add an extra layer of protection..."

"I heard you've already destroyed the old lady's pendant..."

"Since you guys are so amazing, you can definitely help me win Xinhao back!"
