Chapter: 2973
Since Ye Changmin left Jinling, hearing the name made her skin crawl. She viewed Jinling as her personal downfall, a place she felt she could never return to, leaving her with a dark shadow in her mind.
Zhong Zhengtao noticed that Ye Changmin’s voice sounded strange and quickly asked, “Changmin, what’s wrong with Jinling? Is something going on?”
Ye Changmin instinctively asked, “Did you just say that Tianyu was taken to Buckingham Palace?”
“Yes!” Zhong Zhengtao replied eagerly. “The reports confirmed it. People were indeed taken to Buckingham Palace. I’m not sure if this relates to the Ye family, but isn’t Buckingham Palace owned by your family? I need your help to figure out what’s happening…”
Upon hearing this, Ye Changmin quickly thought that Zhong Tianyu’s situation must involve Charlie Wade. Chen Zekai would never dare to attack Zhong Tianyu without a good reason.
Curious, she asked Zhong Zhengtao, “Did Tianyu upset someone?”
“Upset someone?” Zhong Zhengtao said, looking embarrassed. “That kid annoys people all the time and thinks he’s clever about it. But he knows when to hold back. If he really couldn’t handle someone, he wouldn’t provoke them.”
He continued, “I’m just worried he might have angered someone who doesn’t care about the consequences. If that person decides to retaliate, it won’t matter who he is or what the Zhong family’s background is; it could get messy.”
Zhong Zhengtao quickly said, “Chang Min, if you’re worried, please call the person in charge of your Ye family in Jinling.”
Ye Changmin paused for a moment and replied, “Okay… I’ll first check on the situation.”
“Great!” Zhong Zhengtao sighed in relief. Then he added, “By the way, Chang Min, I know you love jade. I had someone buy a beautiful emperor green bracelet from Burma, and it’s been sent to Yanjing. When you have time, come over to my house and try it on.”
Ye Changmin felt a little happier and teased, “So, are you inviting me to try on the bracelet or trying to trick me into visiting your house?”
Zhong Zhengtao chuckled, “It’s not a trick! Tianyu isn’t around today. If we can make sure he’s safe, he’ll be in Jinling for a few days, and then we can spend some time together. I’ve been a bit bored.”
Ye Changmin smiled and said, “Alright! I’ll call Jinling and check. It should be fine.”
Zhong Zhengtao replied excitedly, “That’s fantastic! I’ll be waiting for your good news!”
“Okay, I’ll hang up now and make the call,” Ye Changmin said before ending the conversation.
After hanging up, Ye Changmin felt a bit anxious. She thought to herself, “If Zhong Tianyu really got on Charlie Wade’s bad side, there might not be much we can do…”
“After all, Charlie Wade even detained my aunt. What chance does a distant relative like Zhong Tianyu have?”
But then she decided, “No matter what, I should call and find out what’s going on. After all, Zhong has already…”
Ye Changmin knew she had to do her best. In recent years, she and Zhong Zhengtao had developed a close, inappropriate relationship. Zhong Zhengtao’s wife had passed away long ago, and since then, he had not been involved with any women. On the other hand, Ye Changmin was unhappy in her marriage. She felt that her husband was becoming weaker and less capable, which made her lose interest in him.
At one point, Ye Changmin thought about getting a divorce. However, her father, the head of the Ye family, was against it. He believed that since she was now in her forties, getting a divorce would be shameful for the family. So, he refused to support her decision.
