Although it was only two simple words, they chilled the air like ice, spreading a cold dread.
Xiaozhao carefully helped Mo Baichuan into the back seat, barely daring to breathe, lest he inadvertently upset him again.
“Back to the Bo Mansion,” Mo Baichuan instructed, his deep voice betraying no emotion.
“Yes,” Xiaozhao responded shakily, then cautiously asked, “What about… Miss Zhou?”
It not that he wanted to intrude, but otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to explain to the old lady when he got back!
Miss Zhou was at the cafe, waiting for Mo Baichuan’s arrival…
What mess has this turned into!
Mo Baichuan lightly lifted his eyes, and the rear-view mirror reflected a chilling cold light.
Startled, Xiaozhao closed his mouth abruptly, not daring to utter another word!
Stepping on the accelerator, the car shot off like an arrow.
Mo Baichuan half-leaned on the back seat, his eyes half-closed. No one knew what he was thinking.
Despite his silence, there was an ominous feeling of looming crisis.
The car stopped at a small Western-style house. Xiaozhao carefully got out of the car, opened the door for the passenger, but Mo Baichuan showed no intention of getting out. He just sat there. Finally, gathering his courage, Xiaozhao said, “Master, we’ve arrived.”
Only then did Mo Baichuan turn his attention towards him. His deep eyes were completely dark as he ordered, “I want all the information about that girl today! Remember, all of it! Even her ancestors’ details! And I want it by seven o’clock tonight!”
He always felt that he hadn’t investigated Li Xianxian thoroughly enough.
Because Ni Yang was nothing like he had imagined.
Xiaozhao stood up straight, answering, “Yes.”
Oh, my!
His master was harsh! The young lady had just retaliated in kind, but he was unsparing, he wouldn’t even give her ancestors a break!
Watching Mo Baichuan’s retreating figure, Xiaozhao nervously wiped his forehead.

Ni Yang arrived at a store, casually picked out a set of clothes to change into, paid, and then hurried to Ni Cuihua’s side.
The moment Ni Cuihua saw Ni Yang, she grabbed her hand. She was so eager, she didn’t even notice Ni Yang’s change of clothes and immediately blurted, “Yangyang, 1 think I just saw your uncle.”
Ni Cuihua had her own family too. In her family, she had an elder brother named Ni Dazhu who had married a transferred educated youth in his earlier years.
After the policy changed, he and his wife moved to the city.
Ever since Ni Dazhu left for the city, Ni Yang had not seen her uncle and his family. In this period, there was also little correspondence.
No one knew where Ni Dazhu had ended up.
“Mom, are you sure you saw him clearly? That was really Uncle?” Ni Yang asked, frowning slightly.
Ni Cuihua nodded assuredly, “I saw it clearly! That was definitely your uncle! If I wasn’t worried that you’d be worried about finding me when you got back, I would have chased after him!”
Ni Cuihua was not confused; there was no way she could mistake her own brother.
“Did you see which way Uncle went?” Ni Yang continued, asking.
“That way!” Ni Cuihua pointed in a direction, “I saw your uncle going through that gate.”
“Then let’s go over and check it out,” Ni Yang said, grabbing hold of her sister’s hand.
Mother and daughter headed in that direction.
Unlike the bustling streets, this was a residential area for factory employees.
There was a guard at the gate, and anyone entering or leaving who wasn’t an employee of the factory would need to register.
At this time, most factories were state-owned enterprises, very formal. Workers were not only allocated dormitories but also received good benefits. It was like being a public servant in the future world. If there was a worker in one’s family, it was a matter of great honor.
It was even more honorable than getting into college!
“Yangyang, what is this place?” Ni Cuihua asked curiously, looking at the gate.
Ni Yang explained to Ni Cuihua.
After hearing the explanation, Ni Cuihua exclaimed, “My goodness! So, by what you’re saying, your uncle is now a worker!”
Ni Yang nodded, “It seems so.”
Ni Cuihua exclaimed, “Your uncle was a total simpleton when he was younger! I can’t believe he’s made something of himself now! At last, someone from our Ni family has become accomplished! Let’s go and find your uncle and aunt.”
Ni Yang continued, “Don’t rush in yet, Mom. Let me confirm with the gatekeeper first.”
“Okay,” Ni Cuihua replied hastily, “Then you go quickly.”
Ni Yang approached the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper was very amicable and informed Ni Yang in detail about Ni Dazhu’s situation.
Ni Dazhu had become a permanent worker here three years ago. He lived here with his wife Liu Juan and their daughter Liu Xiangxiang. Also, the gatekeeper added that Ni Dazhu was usually henpecked, often acting like a timid mouse around his wife…
Liu Xiangxiang?
Ni Yang scowled slightly.
Wasn’t her cousin’s name Ni Xiangxiang? When did it change to Liu Xiangxiang?
Had Ni Dazhu become a kept man?
“What’s the matter, young lady? How are you related to Ni Dazhu?” the guard asked, curious.
Ni Yang smiled and said, “He’s my uncle.”
The guard laughed, “What a surprise Ni Dazhu has such a beautiful niece.” He then wondered, scratching his head, “How come I’ve never heard about Ni Dazhu having a niece…”
Especially such a beautiful one…
People often say nephews resemble their uncles. But looking at Ni Yang’s delicate features, she bore no resemblance to Ni Dazhu’s rough and plump look.
This was strange indeed!
Ni Yang offered a small smile and thanked the guard before heading back to Ni Cuihua. “Mom, Uncle and Aunt indeed live here, but…”
“Let’s go find your uncle and aunt,” Ni Cuihua said, pulling Ni Yang inside before she could finish her sentence.
“Mom, wait a minute, why don’t we buy some gifts to take them?” Ni Yang suggested.
Ni Cuihua was eager to see her brother and stubbornly pulled Ni Yang inside. She dismissed the idea saying, “Yangyang, your uncle and I are siblings. We don’t worry about formalities like that. We’ll take care of the gifts later, I haven’t seen your uncle in so many years…”
Ni Cuihua had never thought that she would see Ni Dazhu again in her lifetime.
At this moment, all that she could think of was seeing her brother.
The gatekeeper called out enthusiastically behind them, “Young lady, Ni Dazhu lives in Building 68, Unit 101. Don’t get it wrong.”
Ni Yang smiled and replied, “Okay, thank you, sir.”
“You’re welcome.” The guard waved cheerfully.
With the guard’s help, Ni Yang quickly found Ni Dazhu’s residence. The worker’s dormitory was vibrant with a strong sense of the times. There were children playing in the courtyard, adults washing clothes, chatting and laughing. It was very lively.
On seeing the strangers approaching, they all threw curious looks at them. “Which family do you belong to?” A woman washing vegetables asked them.
Ni Cuihua, holding her child, smiled and said, “We have come to look for Ni Dazhu. I am his sister.”
“Sister?” The woman washing vegetables said in surprise, “I thought Dazhu was an only child in his family.. Where did this sister come from?”
