"I went to Ouyang House earlier, but their butler told me that Ouyang Ming was hospitalized because he contracted a mysterious disease, and I had gone to the hospital to visit him before." Meng Wuya and Yao Wenhua were shocked to hear Meng Huo's words. "You guys don't need to ask me about his illness because Aunt Yi told me that the cause of his illness is still unclear, and Doctor Ling is examining him intensively."
"Do you have the same thoughts as me, husband?"
Meng Wuya nodded slightly. "I suspect that a specific person or group is causing our problems, even though I can't confirm it yet. I will contact Ouyang Hong tonight to discuss this matter with him; otherwise, these issues may escalate and become unmanageable."
"That's good! I don't want our family to face any more serious problems from this, so I hope Ouyang Hong can find the perpetrators and solve these problems." Yao Wenhua then got up and walked out. "Anyway, I'll go see Xiang Ning, and we'll pick up Yao Yao at the airport later."
"Mom, I haven't seen my cousin for a long time, so I'll come with you to pick her up." Meng Huo said as he followed Yao Wenhua.
Meng Wuya leaned back on his chair while staring at the ceiling of his office, and he kept thinking about the situation they were facing right now.

Jessica, Luo Qinlin, and another woman, none other than Lin Yan, walked into Ouyang Qing's room.
"Are you okay?"
"Are you blind?" Ouyang Qing replied sharply to Luo Qinlin. "My face is still this bad, and I don't dare go out. However, a friend gave me a prescription for treating my face, so I want to go out now. When are you coming back, Lin Yan?"
"Last night." Lin Yan observed Ouyang Qing's face. "Your face is terrible, so we should go now to get it treated; otherwise, Wen Tian will be embarrassed to walk with you."
Dark lines appeared on Ouyang Qing's forehead, but she said nothing and reached for a mask to cover her face. "Let's go."

Two women are sitting together watching the news about Yao Wei's arrest, but one of them is surprised when the news reveals his confidential documents. "Do these matters have anything to do with Xiao'er and Yin'er, Yuan? For so many years, we have tried to discover a way to prove their conspiracy in the murder of Big Brother Ye, but we both had difficulty finding solid evidence to send them to prison. However, you informed me that they have begun their revenge, and those documents have suddenly been leaked to the public."
"They did everything." Tang Yuan had no intention of hiding it from Feng Yao, as they had known each other for so long and their relationship was like blood sisters. "Unfortunately, these documents are still not enough to bring down the other families, especially the Ouyang family. I believe that Meng Wuya and Yang Kang will start to distance themselves from Yao Wei, or they will be dragged into his troubles."
"That's true." Feng Yao then turned to her. "How did they manage to get them?"
Tang Yuan believed that Feng Yao would never betray them, but she was confused about telling her the truth. After all, the ark and all the technology in it came from the future, and they were Tang Xiao's secrets, so she couldn't reveal them carelessly.
"Forget it; you don't have to force yourself." Feng Yao then asked again. "Does this mean they've resolved their problems with the Ran family?"
"Yes." Tang Yuan then told her. "Ran Linfeng died in Xiao'er's hands, and Ran Qingfeng died in Yin'er's hands. Regardless of her status, they took Zhao Yuxian as their servant."
"Oh?" Feng Yao was surprised to hear that, but she suddenly remembered something. "We've forgotten two people, Yuan. There have been several consecutive unusual problems that occurred in the last few days, so I'm sure that their superiors will assign them to take care of those cases."
Tang Yuan furrowed her brows. "Do you mean the two little princesses of the Sun and Xiao Clans?"
"Yes." Feng Yao replied as she nodded. "Sun Xiang is one of the police chiefs, but he only handles unusual cases like the deaths of Du Zhong and He Yu, and Xiao Meng is his assistant. Even though they are cultivators like us, they are genuinely interested in the world of ordinary humans, so I think they might cross paths with Xiao'er soon."
Tang Yuan sighed softly. "I will inform Xiao'er about those two women, and I don't want him to have any problems with them; otherwise, the situation will get worse if they become enemies."

"What are you thinking about, Xiang? Why are you so serious?" Xiao Meng was surprised to see many documents spread out on her desk. "Aren't all these documents regarding Tang Ye's death? Why are you suddenly checking them?"
"Didn't you see the news on TV earlier?" Xiao Meng shook her head, causing Sun Xiang to sigh softly. "Until now, all the TV news broadcasts were about Yao Wei and his confidential documents, and some of them were about his involvement in Tang Ye's murder."
"How could that happen? Who leaked his documents?" Xiao Meng asked as she turned on the television in the room.
"I don't know." Sun Xiang replied as she read the documents again. "Tang Ye's death is not an ordinary murder case; much evidence implicates Yao Wei and other families. However, these documents indicate that no further investigation was conducted into his death, leading me to believe that this case was deliberately covered up. If that's true, this matter involves those prominent families, and our higher-ups are also involved. Besides, the case of Tang Yin trying to commit suicide also ended like her father's case, and only those families have full power to do that, especially the Ouyang Family."
"En, you're right." Xiao Meng nodded in agreement with her best friend. "I've read these documents before, and some of those families were actually Tang Ye's good friends, such as Meng Wuya and Yang Kang. Even though Ran Lingfeng was Zhao Jing's brother-in-law, he suddenly turned against them."
Sun Xiang nodded a few times. "Based on these documents, the day before Tang Ye died, he made a report that they embezzled some of his assets, especially Ran Linfeng. Unfortunately, he died horribly on the side of the road nineteen years ago, and the case was dismissed after his death."
"Unfortunately, our family forbids us from using our abilities when we work as police, or else we could solve this case easily." Xiao Meng sighed heavily as she spoke.
"Did you forget about those two people?" Sun Xiang asked while shaking her head. "Long Yin has always protected the Ouyang Family, and those families are Ouyang Hong's cronies. He will make a move if we are trying to do something against them, and he will attack our clans. There is still Wang Fuxi, and she will not be happy if we use our abilities to interfere in ordinary human matters. Even though our Sun and Xiao Clans are big on Earth II, her Wang Clan is the second biggest after the Long Clan, so we can't go against her."
"So, why are you looking into Tang Ye's case again? Isn't that just a waste of our time since we can't possibly do anything to solve it?" Xiao Meng suddenly realized something and asked her again. "Do you think that the perpetrator who released Yao Wei's documents is related to him?"
"Yes." Sun Xiang nodded to her. "All these matters started with the horrible deaths of Du Zhong and He Yu, followed by the disappearance of most of Ran Linfeng's wealth. After that, Yao Shao suddenly disappeared, and no one could find him to this day. Now, Yao Wei's documents suddenly leaked to the public, so I suspect that this whole matter is related to Tang Ye's death, and my hunch is that the perpetrator had a relationship with him."
"Hmm?" Xiao Meng lightly tapped her chin. "Could it be that Tang Yuan did all this?"
"No." Sun Xiang immediately denied that. "Tang Yuan is a member of Wang Fuxi's special group, so I'm sure that she will follow her rules. As for Tang Huang, he still hasn't left Earth II since the incidents that befell his two grandchildren seven years ago, so he's definitely not the culprit."
"Then who do you think did it? Only Tang Yin is left in the Tang family now that Tang Xiao has died in the ravine, but she is only a weak ordinary woman, so she couldn't possibly have done all that."
Hearing that, Sun Xiang fell into thought for a while before she tidied up the documents on her desk, and she immediately stood up from her seat. "At first, I didn't think about that possibility, but this series of cases and your words just now made me think that Tang Xiao was still alive, so I wanted to go to that prison and check out the bottom of that ravine."
"Do you really think that Tang Xiao is still alive?" Xiao Meng asked as she followed Sun Xiang out of the room. "Even though he is Tantai Lingyan's disciple, and he also masters various martial arts, he is not a cultivator like us. Therefore, I'm not sure if he can survive after he falls into that deep ravine."
"We'll find the answer once we check the place."
