The Physician Tycoon

"I've never seen the Night Emperor, and I don't know who he is."

How did you get in touch with him?

"I never contact him first; he calls me if there's anything I need."

"Where's the number?"

"He was very vigilant and always contacted me using a different number."

How often does he contact you?

"About a week."

Ye Kai withdrew the Soul-Capturing Technique, and Wu Hui looked around in a daze, as if waking from a dream.

Lu Wenqing could no longer contain himself and stepped forward, shaking Wu Hui's shoulder as he questioned her.

"Why do you work for the Japanese?"

Wu Hui still refused to admit it, saying, "I didn't, didn't I just tell you?"

"I heard everything. You said it yourself, that you were the Japanese liaison and helped them transfer funds."

I never imagined you would become a traitor! I shouldn't have given birth to such a disgraceful and unfilial son; you've completely disgraced our ancestors!

Wu Hui panicked, "Mom, you can't say that to me!"

Lu Wenqing said angrily, "Not only did you help the Japanese do bad things, you also killed your uncle!"

The evidence is irrefutable, yet you still try to deny it. Don't call me "Mom" anymore; I don't have a daughter like you!

Wu Hui knelt down in front of Lu Wenqing and cried, "Mom, I had no choice but to do this."

"Hmph, what's your troubles? Tell me!"

"The Japanese brought you here to take you hostage. If I don't obey them, they will kill you. I did this to save you."

"I don't need you to become a traitor to save me. I'd rather die than bear that stigma!"

Wu Hui clung to Lu Wenqing's leg, "Mom, I can't let you die, I have to protect you!"

Lu Wenqing resolutely replied, "I don't need your protection. I'm not your mother, and I don't have a daughter like you!"

Wu Hui cried, "Mom, why can't you understand my good intentions? I did all this for you!"

"You even said you were doing this for my sake, but now you've made me look like a traitor and a sellout. How can I face my ancestors? You should quickly apologize to Mr. Ye and try to get his leniency!"

Wu Hui turned to Ye Kai, "Ye Kai, what do you want me to do?"

"Wu Hui, I'm giving you one last chance. Help me find the Night Emperor, and I'll let you go."

Wu Hui looked troubled. "I really don't know who the Night Emperor is."

"That's easy. The Night Emperor will contact you again. You should know what to say then, right?"

Wu Hui nodded. "I told him that the funds would be arriving soon."

"You need to keep him calm and talk to him as much as possible so I can use that time to locate his position."

"clear."

Ye Kai took out a listening device from the jade gourd, which could detect the other party's location within five seconds.

Ye Kai instructed, "From now on, I will live in your house. If anyone asks who I am, just say I am your cousin."

Wu Hui shook her head. "That's not appropriate. The Japanese have already investigated my family's ancestry for eight generations. They know I don't have a cousin like you."

"What should we do then?"

Wu Hui thought for a moment, "I'll just say that you're my new boyfriend, that way they won't be able to find out."

"Aren't you dating Lan Junfeng?"

"We've already broken up. We broke up the last time you and Lanbing came to my house. Junfeng is a good person, and I don't want to drag him down with me."

"At least you still have some conscience."

Wu Hui said with a hint of resentment, "In your eyes, am I really that bad?"

"The Night Emperor is researching viruses to destroy my Great Xia, and you're even helping him? Tell me, aren't you wicked?"

"I had no choice in the matter. I'm just a weak woman, what could I do?"

Ye Kai retorted sarcastically, "You call yourself a weak woman? Don't you know how to train men?"

Hearing this, Lu Wenqing asked in confusion, "What kind of male training techniques?"

Wu Hui blushed slightly and quickly changed the subject, "Mom, it's almost noon, go and make something nice to treat Ye Kai."

Lu Wenqing slapped his forehead. "Oh yeah, how could I forget about that? I'll go buy groceries."

Ye Kai quickly stopped her, "Auntie, don't buy any groceries, just eat whatever you like."

Wu Hui said, "Now that you are my future son-in-law, we can't be casual when important guests come to visit. If others find out, they will doubt your identity."

Ye Kai thought it made sense, so he stopped insisting.

Lu Wenqing is gone.

Only Ye Kai and Wu Hui remained in the room. Wu Hui's face was flushed, and she seemed a little embarrassed.

A beam of white light shone in through the window, alerting Ye Kai.

He went behind the curtains and looked outside, discovering that someone on the second floor of a villa across the street was watching them with binoculars.

"Wu Hui, someone is watching you."

Wu Hui immediately tensed up, "Where are you?"

"Come here."

Wu Hui came to Ye Kai's side and saw the telescope on the other side flashing.

"What should we do?"

"We'll remain still, pretend we don't know we're being watched, and wait for the Night Emperor to call."

Just then, someone spoke downstairs. Ye Kai heard it clearly; it was a neighbor coming to borrow soy sauce. He asked Wu Hui, "Who is this?"

"A neighbor, Mrs. Shimada."

"She's probably here to spy on you too. Be careful what you say so she doesn't see through your disguise."

The talking stopped, and then footsteps sounded, quickly arriving upstairs.

Ye Kai quickly put the detector away.

Wu Hui suddenly hugged Ye Kai tightly and kissed him passionately. Ye Kai struggled a few times, but then responded to Wu Hui.

A middle-aged woman appeared at the door; she was Mrs. Shimada.

Mrs. Shimada stared at Ye Kai and Wu Hui, who then abruptly separated and looked at the woman.

Mrs. Shimada bowed and said, "I'm sorry to have disturbed you."

Wu Hui blushed and waved her hand. "It's okay, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Zhou Kai. Kai, this is my neighbor, Mrs. Shimada."

Ye Kai nodded to Mrs. Shimada, "Hello."

Mrs. Shimada scrutinized Ye Kai, her eyes sharp as knives.

"Is Mr. Zhou a native of Great Xia?"

"Yes, I am from Jiangzhou."

"Oh, Jiangzhou is a wonderful place. Which part of Jiangzhou are you from?"

"I am from Jiangzhou..." Ye Kai was trying to figure out what to say when Wu Hui interrupted him.

"Mrs. Shimada, are you checking someone's household registration?"

Mrs. Shimada smiled sheepishly, "Oh, not at all, I was just asking because I was concerned about you."

"Mrs. Shimada will be having dinner at home later."

"No, I just came to borrow some soy sauce. My dinner is almost ready, I need to hurry back. Sayonara!"

Mrs. Shimada left in a hurry after she finished speaking.

Watching her figure disappear, Wu Hui sneered, "That wretched woman, I'll kill her sooner or later!"

She glanced at Ye Kai's lips, blushed, and said, "I'm sorry, it was too urgent just now, I didn't ask for your opinion before..."

Ye Kai waved his hand, "It's okay, I know."

Just then, her phone rang. Wu Hui glanced at the number and immediately tensed up.

"I reckon it's most likely the Night Emperor who called!"
