C310 The Real Culprit Behind All of This
"Chef Xiao is so fast!" Yi Mengruo smiled and went up to take the plate from Xiao Chen.
"Ya!" Yi Mengruo couldn't help but exclaim when she saw the grilled fish because it was filled with chili. The thing that she couldn't eat the most in her life was chili, but the two of them had indeed never eaten together before. The last time they ate together was when Xiao Chen roasted the pheasant on the mountain.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Chen saw Yi Mengruo's expression and quickly asked.
"I can't eat spicy food." Yi Mengruo said with some embarrassment.
"Don't worry. I promise this fish won't be spicy at all." Xiao Chen smiled mysteriously.
"Really?" Yi Mengruo could not believe it.
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself." Xiao Chen nodded.
Yi Mengruo looked at the plate full of red and green pepper and felt her scalp go numb. However, Xiao Chen would never lie to her. She threw caution to the wind and picked up a piece of fish meat and put it into her cherry mouth.
After chewing for a while, Yi Mengruo widened her beautiful eyes and said, "There is really no spicy taste at all!"
"I didn't lie to you, right?" Xiao Chen smiled and said.
"But why? There are so many chillies." Yi Mengruo asked in puzzlement.
"This is a secret." Xiao Chen said mysteriously again.
"Forget it." Yi Mengruo pretended to be angry and continued to eat the grilled fish.
"Actually, there are a lot of things that are not always the same. It is just like how you think the chili will definitely be very spicy. Our days are also moving forward. Actually, so many years have passed. You have also become a new yourself. " Xiao Chen suddenly started to talk about a bunch of reasons in a serious tone.
"Ok." Yi Mengruo answered from her nose as she ate the grilled fish.
In fact, she understood Xiao Chen's intentions. There were many things that she was unwilling to let go, so no one could make her let go. As the saying went, the person who broke the bell had to be the one who did it. That was the principle.
After eating the grilled fish, Xiao Chen gave a bank card to the boss. There was five hundred thousand in it. This money was nothing to Xiao Chen. But to this couple, it was enough to change their lives.
Xiao Chen lied that there were only five thousand yuan in the card. He was too lazy to withdraw the money and gave the card to the boss. Even so, the boss was extremely grateful to Xiao Chen.
"Thank you, Xiao Chen." After coming out, Yi Mengruo suddenly thanked Xiao Chen.
"What is there to thank?" Xiao Chen smiled very calmly.
"It's nothing. I want to thank you too." Yi Mengruo said and held Xiao Chen's hand.
"Okay." Xiao Chen also knew that if he denied it again, he would be a little unromantic.
The two of them were like a couple who had just fallen in love walking around the night market. In a little while, Xiao Chen would find a small stall to buy something for Yi Mengruo to eat. Yi Mengruo did not reject anyone, but she would usually give it back to Xiao Chen after one or two bites.
Because she had to maintain her body shape.
Just as the two of them were casually walking in the night market, Xiao Chen suddenly saw a familiar figure sitting with another stranger at a supper stall.
"Mengruo, I have something to do. Why don't you go back first?" Xiao Chen gently pulled Yi Mengruo and said.
Seeing Xiao Chen's serious expression, Yi Mengruo roughly knew that Xiao Chen might have found something or met someone familiar.
"Okay." Yi Mengruo did not play it cool. She knew that Xiao Chen still wanted to find the final answer to so many things that happened in Wuling.
Just like that, Xiao Chen went to the side of the road and let Yi Mengruo drive back to Ten Fragrance Pavilion by herself. He went back to the night market and came to the familiar figure.
"Long time no see, young master Yuen Jia." Xiao Chen's voice came from behind.
Yuen Jia's appearance was no longer as bright and beautiful as before. He was like a civilian wearing a shirt. Because he was too fat, some of his fat was still exposed.
Yuen Jia was stunned when he heard Xiao Chen's voice. The man in the suit opposite him was also stunned.
"Mr. Xiao!" Yuen Jia turned his head and looked at Xiao Chen in disbelief.
When the man on the other side heard that it was Xiao Chen, his expression changed drastically, as if he wanted to escape.
But under Xiao Chen's gaze, he could only bite the bullet and greet Xiao Chen, "Mr. Xiao, how are you?"
"This is really strange. Why has our Yuen family's second young master fallen to such a state today?" Xiao Chen said in a neutral tone.
However, his eyes were fixed on the man opposite him. As long as he made any move, Xiao Chen would immediately take him down.
Xiao Chen had never seen this man before, but judging from his expression, he must be hiding some kind of secret, and it must have something to do with him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so nervous after seeing him.
"Mr. Xiao must be joking. I'm still the Second Young Master of Yuen family. I've been chased out a long time ago." Yuen Jia could only smile bitterly.
"He was chased out? It seems like young master Yuen Jia has committed a huge mistake." Xiao Chen continued asking.
"It's hard to explain in a single word." Yuen Jia picked up the beer bottle and gulped it down.
"Okay, stop beating around the bush. Tell me. What exactly was going on this time? As the second young master of Yuen family, how could you be chased out? This matter might be more serious now, right? If you tell me, I might be able to help you settle the matter. " Xiao Chen didn't want to dawdle any longer.
"Help me with the rebellion?" Yuen Jia's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Yes." Xiao Chen said confidently.
"This..." Yuen Jia was still a little hesitant. He looked at the man in the suit in front of him.
Xiao Chen immediately noticed the look in the man's eyes. He pointed to the man in the opposite direction and said, "You, sit over here."
"No... No need. Mr. Xiao, I'm actually quite good here." The man suddenly felt a little scared.
"Then you are not giving me face." Xiao Chen's eyes turned cold.
"No... No. " The man had a helpless look on his face. He could only lean towards Xiao Chen's side.

"You can say it now. I promise that only the three of us will know about this." Xiao Chen turned to Yuen Jia and said.
Yuen Jia saw Xiao Chen controlling the man in the suit. After hesitating for a while, he seemed to have made up his mind. He nodded and said, "I say, the mastermind behind this is Situ family."
"Situ family?" Xiao Chen looked at Yuen Jia suspiciously.
"Right now, our Yuen family has fallen into a crisis, so I had no choice but to escape with my money." Yuen Jia said unwillingly.
