"Why did you suddenly call me, Xiang Ning?"
[Our daughter tried to contact you, but your phone was always busy, so she called me directly.]
"Why is Yao'er looking for me?"
[The police and immigration officials in Yao'er's current country came to her apartment and forced her to go with them. They said that her passport had been revoked, so she had to go back to Beijing today because they decided to deport her.]
Yao Wei frowned upon hearing Xiang Ning's statement. "When will Yao'er arrive in Beijing?"
[Yao'er's plane will leave in an hour, and her flight takes about six hours, so I'll go to the airport this evening to pick her up.]
"You can pick up Yao'er later, and I will handle my problems first." Yao Wei ended their call. "What should we do to resolve this situation?"
Fan Heng helplessly shook his head, as he still couldn't understand how the situation could turn upside down overnight. "Sir, the only way to resolve this matter is to ask Ouyang Hong for help, but as I recall, he has gone abroad to attend to his business affairs. Instead, you can ask Meng Wuya or Shen Tianhu for help, as they are the only ones who can help you now."
Yao Wei released a heavy sigh and nodded to Fan Heng, and he contacted his brother-in-law for help. However, Meng Wuya rejected his request because he was also facing a complicated problem, and all the important data in his company suddenly disappeared, including their backup data.
Although he was disappointed, Yao Wei couldn't blame his brother-in-law, and he contacted Shen Tianhu. However, he had to be disappointed once again because Shen Xiang told him that his father and mother were on a trip to another country, so they could not be contacted for now.
*Tap... Tap...*
The two men turned toward the entrance, and they saw the old butler leading several men dressed as police along with several other people into the living room.
"Mr. Yao, I came here with an arrest warrant to take you under suspicion that you were involved in Tang Ye's murder." Police Chief Jiang said as he handed him the letter.
A man dressed in formal black clothes also handed him a letter. "We were sent to investigate the money laundering you have committed over the past few years, and you are also accused of various blackmail against several people, so I hope you are willing to go with us for further investigation."
Yao Wei had expected their arrival, but he didn't expect that they would come so quickly, and he meekly followed them while saying this to Fan Heng. "Help me to contact Ouyang Hong, and tell him to help me as soon as possible."
Fan Heng simply nodded, but he already had no intention of helping Yao Wei, especially since he had nothing now, and he left the Yao House.
The Old Butler contacted all of Yao Wei's subordinates to gather, and he wanted to discuss their future because their boss had fallen, so it was no longer possible for him to accommodate them.

Sometime later, the four women had arrived at the Tang House. Tang Yin asked Zhao Yuxian and her daughters to choose their own bedrooms, as the house was big enough for them to live together.
Tang Yin allowed Zhao Yuxian to live with her daughters; otherwise, the Ran Twins would become confused and suspicious if she lived in the ark, but she still treated her as a servant.
Shortly after, Xing Xing arrived at the Tang House and gave Tang Yin a questioning look upon seeing Zhao Yuxian and her two daughters there.
"You don't need to care about them, and Zhao Yuxian is our servant, like Yu Xiaoling." Xing Xing sighed inwardly after hearing that, but she chose not to comment on the matter, and Tang Yin asked her. "Do you want to meet Xiao'er? He contacted me and said that he would come here after he dropped Yi An at the hospital. Ouyang Ming is in the hospital now, and she has to accompany him, so Xiao'er has a lot of free time."
"Ouyang Ming is hospitalized." Tang Yin nodded to her, but Xing Xing then suspiciously asked her. "Did you do something to him?"
"Hehe." Tang Yin chuckled and embraced her. "I did do something to Ouyang Ming, but I didn't do it myself, andhis father's subordinate helped me to do it because she is on our side now."
Xing Xing could only shake her head, and she was sure that Xiao Ai helped Tang Yin do all that. However, they suddenly heard a car enter the courtyard of the house, and they saw Tang Xiao get out of it.
As he entered the house, Tang Xiao smiled when he saw Xing Xing, and he embraced her and his big sister. "How about the three of us take a walk together?"
"No." Tang Yin immediately refused as she walked away from them. "Xiao'er, you still have to convince Xing'er so you can take her out on a date, and I won't bother you two."

In an office room, a middle-aged man who was none other than Meng Wuya was busy contacting many people by telephone, and his expression was very serious because his company was facing a serious problem due to the disappearance of all their important data.
Not only him, but several important people in the company also gathered in that room to check and re-record all company files manually, especially their company sales files. They were forced to do this because not only did their main data disappear for no apparent reason, but all their backup data also disappeared, so they couldn't perform automatic recovery.
Meng Wuya let out a heavy sigh after he finished speaking with the last person he contacted, and he massaged his dizzy head because of the situation before him. "Who did this to me? I'm sure that the culprit was the same person who stole Ran Linfeng and Yao Wei's wealth, but I don't understand the purpose of that person doing it to us or how that person could do it without being traced; even all the CCTVs did not capture the presence of other people in my data room."
"Husband." Meng Wuya immediately looked at Yao Wenhua, who had just arrived. "I just got news that Ran Linfeng disappeared, and he can't be contacted now. Besides, police chief Jiang and people from the government have arrested my brother, and they accused him of Tang Ye's murder and blackmailing several people."
Meng Wuya was not surprised by Yao Wei's situation, especially after his confidential documents were widely spread in public. However, he was worried that his brother-in-law would reveal the true facts behind Tang Ye's murder, which would also drag him and several other people involved in the matter. "What do you mean by Ran Linfeng disappearing? Who told you about that matter?"
"You and Yang Kang may not know it yet, but Yang Shiya returned to this country a long time ago, and she has been in a relationship with Ran Linfeng since then." Meng Wuya was truly surprised to hear his wife's answer, and Yao Wenhua immediately sat down beside him before explaining further. "She told me that they spent time together last night, but he was gone when she woke up. After that, she called him several times, but his number was never active. Therefore, she called the Ran House, and their butler told her that he hadn't returned home."
"Forget it; we are facing a serious problem right now, and I don't have time to take care of Ran Linfeng. Moreover, he often disappears without a word, and he will definitely come back on his own, so you don't need to care about their affairs." Meng Wuya fell silent for a while before speaking to his wife again. "As for your brother, you already know the problems he is facing now. I asked my lawyer to help him, but we must not communicate with him for now, or we will be dragged into his problems."
"I know." Yao Wenhua replied with an understanding nod before her expression turned serious. "I feel something off, husband. The Ran Family butler told Yang Shiya that Tang Yin went to their house earlier, and she asked Zhao Yuxian to bring her daughters to move to Tang House, so they will live there from now on."
"Hmm?" Meng Wuya raised his eyebrows after he heard that. "Why did Tang Yin suddenly do that? After Zhao Jing died, she no longer had any relations with Zhao Yuxian and the others, and she did so at the same time as Ran Linfeng disappeared."
"Could it be that Tang Yin has something to do with Ran Linfeng's disappearance and all the trouble that has befallen us?" Yao Wenhua asked that as she put on a suspicious look.
"I doubt that." Meng Wuya replied by shaking his head. "Even Tang Huang and Tang Yuan haven't dared to do anything to us in the past years, let alone a weak girl like Tang Yin. Moreover, she hasn't woken up from her coma for long, and she has fallen behind in many things, so I'm sure that she can't possibly do all that."
Suddenly, their son walked into the room with an unusual look, and Yao Wenhua immediately asked Meng Huo. "Why is your face like that? Didn't you say that we were going to see Ouyang Ming? Why are you here now?"
