Chapter 1875: Provocation from Jonah
Kos Ranch.
In a temporary wooden house near Libei Lake.
Ye Yuan wanted to say something.
But he was keenly aware of the approaching footsteps in the distance.
"Jonah? Is it really you?"
The person hasn't come in yet, but the voice has arrived first.
Ye Yuan could already hear it from the voice.
The person who came was Gao Junkai.
When Gao Junkai saw Qiao Na, he originally wanted to give her a hug.
But in the end, I don’t know if I felt something was wrong.
So it was replaced by a handshake.
"Old classmate! Long time no see!"
When Qiao Na saw that it was Gao Junkai who came in, she smiled for the first time that day.
"Yeah, I just heard from Xu Hang that you were here.
I still don’t believe it!
This time again?"
Gao Junkai asked jokingly.
He had no idea what was happening in the country.
This was also what the Zhao family intended.
Even Xu Hang didn't know the exact number of missing members of the Zhao family.
Only here at Jonah's place is the real data.
This can also be seen from this point.
Mr. Zhao really trusts Qiao Na.
"You know the rules! Don't embarrass me!"
Qiao Na's words made Gao Junkai feel a little embarrassed.
Yes, I am just an ordinary researcher in a biology laboratory and I am too concerned about Jonah's movements.
If this kind of thing is taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.
Not only will you be unlucky, but the family behind you will also be unlucky.
So he decisively changed the subject.
Chatted with Jonah about some things between classmates.
Ye Yuan finally found out from the conversation between the two.
It turns out that Jonah also studied biology before.
What Ye Yuan didn't expect was...
Not only was she a classmate of Gao Junkai, she also studied under Professor Nie for more than a year with Yang Xiaohua.
"Are you surprised? I used to study biology as well."
Qiao Na saw Ye Yuan's expression change.
asked with a smile.
"It's really surprising. I didn't expect you to be such a top student!"
This can be easily heard from the previous conversation between the two people.
Gao Junkai's admiration for Qiao Na's professionalism was not fake.
Moreover, Ye Yuan vaguely sensed it.
It seems that Gao Junkai used to be a bootlicker of Joanna.
It’s just that Joanna really didn’t like the other person.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have married Zhao Musen.
The relationships among the previous generation were really messy.
This was the conclusion Ye Yuan, as a junior, came to after listening to the conversation between the two people.
At the same time, he also felt how awkward it was for him to be here.
Fortunately, Xu Hang came back in time.
When Xu Hang came in, he placed the stack of documents in his hand on the table.
Xu Hang didn't even need to signal with his eyes.
Gao Junkai wisely said goodbye and left.
Watching Joanna flipping through the documents carefully.
Xu Hang gave Ye Yuan a look.
Then the two men walked out of the wooden house one after another.
After walking out of the wooden house, Xu Hang took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket.
First he pulled out one and threw it to Ye Yuan.
Then he lit it himself.
Ye Yuan also lit a cigarette.
After taking a deep breath, the smoke came out of his nose.
"Things are getting more complicated!"
This was Xu Hang’s first sentence.
"Because Zhao Musen is missing?"
Ye Yuan didn't know why Xu Hang asked this.
In Ye Yuan's opinion, the whole thing was just a coincidence.
It’s just that the time coincided with the time when they discovered the underground lake.
Even if there was no underground lake, the Custer family should have taken action after confirming the Zhao family's bloodline.
This is the gap caused by information asymmetry.
Ye Yuan thought it was reasonable.
But Xu Hang, who didn't know the cause and effect, was still confused.
It is believed that the whole incident happened because of taking out the aquatic plants in the underground lake.
Maybe this is just a huge misunderstanding.
Ye Yuan couldn't say that he was looking at this matter from a God's perspective.
But he knew much more clues than Xu Hang.
Of course, he wouldn't tell Xu Hang.
After all, this involves the secrets of the Zhao family.
Similarly, if I knew any secrets of the Xu family.
I will also not tell anyone from the Zhao family.
"So this matter is left to Jonah?"
Ye Yuan was very curious. Did the Xu family really give up the initiative so easily?
To be honest, even Ye Yuan was very interested in the aquatic plants.
He didn't believe that given Mr. Xu's character, he would not care.
Especially since this is related to the 'mutated beasts' that everyone is concerned about.
“What else can I do if I don’t give up?
The old man called.
Let me unconditionally cooperate with all of Jonah's actions."
Xu Hang shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.
These past few years have been really rough for him.
Many times, his command was taken over by others.
I don’t know what the old man is thinking.
However, Xu Hang would not tell Ye Yuan these words.
Only you can understand your own suffering.
"Is there any news about Baihu?"
Ye Yuan is still very concerned about the whereabouts of Baihu.
After all, he is my girlfriend’s friend, right?
“The town of Nile is the last place the white tiger visited before it disappeared.
I have already sent someone to check there.
Nothing unusual was found.
But I am sure that Baihu must have discovered something.
Otherwise, he wouldn't disappear so easily.
Given Baihu's cautiousness, he must have discovered some clues worth following up.
And thus it fell into the hands of those guys."
Xu Hang because of his understanding of Baihu.
He said something that Ye Yuan had never thought about.
Close your eyes and a map of the area around Kentia appears in your mind.
The place Xu Hang was talking about happened to be the other direction of the underground lake.
Since the discovery of the underground lake, Ye Yuan only traveled back and forth between the underground lake and the town of Kentia.
I have never thought about passing through the underground barrier to see what is happening upstream of the underground lake.
And the so-called location of Nile Town where the white tiger disappeared.
If Ye Yuan didn't make a wrong judgment.
It happens to be located upstream of the underground lake.
Is it a coincidence or inevitability?
Ye Yuan couldn't figure out the reason for a while.
"I don't mind if you two smoke inside. You don't need to come out!"
Just when Ye Yuan was still analyzing the location where the white tiger disappeared and whether it had anything to do with the underground lake.
Jonah's voice came from behind.
"hey-hey!"
Xu Hang smiled awkwardly but didn't say anything.
As for Ye Yuan?
No explanation is needed.
"I've looked into the matter. You will continue to be responsible for collecting information about the Custer creature and the underground lake.
You will also follow up on the White Tiger matter."
Xu Hang didn't expect this.
I originally thought that Qiao Na would use the disappearance of the Zhao family as a leverage point.
Thus taking over the command of this incident.
But Jonah didn't do that.
Instead, he took responsibility for what he considered to be the most important thing.
Before he could react.
Joanna spoke again:
"My people will be here soon, but before that, this little guy needs to follow me!"
Having said that, Qiao Na pointed at Ye Yuan and said.
"It's fine on my end, as long as he agrees!"
Xu Hang was concerned about Qiao Na's choice of Ye Yuan.
I don't take it to heart at all.
After all, Ye Yuan was not someone he could command, either in theory or in practice.
Every time I want this guy to help.
Either you coax them or you give them benefits.
A guy who can't even command himself.
How can I make decisions for him?
"no problem!"
Ye Yuanshuang nodded.
This made Xu Hang a little confused.
When did this guy become so easy to talk to?
Isn't it supposed to be rebellious?
Shouldn't we negotiate terms?
Why did you bow your head in front of this woman?
Look at Joanna, who is full of royal sister style.
Then he looked at Ye Yuan, who looked as if it was a matter of course.
Xu Hang suddenly felt a sense of guilt deep in his heart.
But fortunately, he was professional and did not show his thoughts on his face.
The next morning.
Ye Yuan was woken up early by Qiao Na's call.
"So early? Who is it?"
The big star Song is still a little confused.
After hearing the annoying phone ringing, he asked naively with his eyes closed.
"Go to sleep, I have something to do here!"
Ye Yuan gently kissed his girlfriend's forehead, then got up and prepared to wash up.
"Is that you, Sister Qiao? Did something happen? I feel like you guys are hiding something from me!"
Song Ran didn't suspect that there was anything going on between Ye Yuan and Qiao Na.
After all, there is a huge age gap between the two.
But you can't escape from the intrigue-filled environment of the entertainment industry.
Song Ran is not a newbie who doesn't understand anything.
On the contrary, she is very smart.
Judging from Ye Yuan and Xu Hang’s attitude towards Qiao Na.
She could conclude that this woman could not be as simple as she appeared.
It is even less likely to be what Ye Yuan explained.
She just came here to relax.
"I did go out with Sister Qiao. You can continue to sleep. Lack of sleep is not good for a woman's skin."
There was no way Ye Yuan could tell Song Ran about the Zhao family and Baihu.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust Song Ran.
But what if Song Ran knew about this?
It might cause him a lot of trouble.
So he could only avoid the question.
Song Ran glanced at her boyfriend's somewhat unnatural expression.
In the end, I pretended not to understand.
He continued to close his eyes and lay back on the bed.
. . . . . .
"where are we going?"
After getting in the car, Ye Yuan looked at Qiao Na who was already sitting in the passenger seat and asked curiously.
Yesterday, Joanna just told herself that she would get up early and go out today.
But he didn't tell me where to go.
"Nile Town!"
Jonah looked ahead and said the name of a small town.
"How do you get there? Aren't you going to look for Zhao Musen?"
Ye Yuan started the car, but still glanced at Qiao Na's facial expression.
"Can you help me without finding the little white tiger?"
Qiao Na rolled her eyes at Ye Yuan and said what was in Ye Yuan's mind.
"Baihu and I are not familiar with each other!"
Ye Yuan's little thoughts were discovered, but he remained tough on the surface.
“Haha, I’m not familiar with you, but White Tiger is Little Suzaku’s best friend.
I don't believe that your man didn't give you the gossip."
It can be said that Jonah’s calculations were really accurate.
Almost every word touched Ye Yuan's heart.
But she didn't get the last sentence right.
Li Shiyun did not call Ye Yuan because of Baihu's disappearance.
I don’t know if it’s Li Shiyun who still doesn’t know that Baihu is missing.
Or it was because he didn't want Ye Yuan to be involved in this matter.
Anyway, a few days passed.
There was no call from Li Shiyun.
At first, Ye Yuan thought that Li Shiyun didn't know and that's why she didn't inform him.
But then something suddenly occurred to him, which made him change his mind.
It is precisely because of this that Ye Yuan wants to find the white tiger as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he was really worried that Li Shiyun would take the risk.
Ye Yuan was not just making random assumptions.
I still remember the phone call I had with Li Shiyun when we talked about Song Ran coming to the ranch.
At that time, Li Shiyun didn't say anything, but told Ye Yuan as if she was jealous.
She will come over in a few days.
Ye Yuan didn't think much about it at the time.
I just thought that Li Shiyun was being jealous.
And think about it afterwards.
When I called her at that time.
Something must have happened to Baihu.
So when Li Shiyun said she wanted to come over, it wasn’t because she was jealous.
This also does not fit with Ye Yuan's understanding of Li Shiyun.
She is not such a little woman.
So Ye Yuan was always worried whether Li Shiyun was already in Country M.
He was just looking for the whereabouts of Baihu and therefore didn't contact me.
The more I think about it, the more this seems possible.
It was precisely because he understood this that Ye Yuan wanted to find the white tiger as quickly as possible.
This avoids the possibility of Li Shiyun taking risks alone.
If it was the previous Li Shiyun, Ye Yuan would not be so worried.
After all, with Li Shiyun's own fighting ability, she would not take risks.
But since the last time he saved her and gained super powers.
Ye Yuan didn't dare to confirm whether his girlfriend would do this.
After all, Li Shiyun has countless more lives after having superpowers.
As long as the damage is not fatal, it can almost be recovered in a short time.
Don't underestimate this abnormal recovery ability.
Kate is a typical example.
The fact that Joanna said that it should not be provoked shows how terrifying this ability is.
Although Li Shiyun and Kate cannot be compared now.
But it is no longer comparable to ordinary team members.
It is precisely because of this that Ye Yuan is even more worried.
He also thought about calling Li Shiyun to clarify things.
But how can I stop it?
Think differently.
What if your best friend is missing?
Will I turn a blind eye to my girlfriend's advice?
So Ye Yuan decided to persuade him instead of doing it himself.
Rescue the white tiger directly.
This solved Li Shiyun's danger.
I suddenly heard Qiao Na mention this today.
Ye Yuan did not hide it, but said in a very depressed tone:
“Really not, and that’s exactly why she is like this.
I want to find Baihu, the troublemaker, as soon as possible."
Ye Yuan expressed his desire to rescue Baihu without any concealment.
This also agrees with Joanna's previous analysis of herself.
"Are you worried that Little Suzaku might break in on his own and be in danger?"
Qiao Na looked at Ye Yuan meaningfully and asked with a smile in the corner of her eyes.
"That's my girlfriend. Shouldn't I be worried?"
Ye Yuan stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out.
"Oh? And what about that big star sleeping in the cabin? A canary?"
I don’t know what happened to Qiao Na today, it seems like she has a conflict with Ye Yuan.
Things that shouldn't have been put on the table.
But she brought it up again and again today.
This is simply a provocation to myself.
