Lian Zhou said, "Miss Ye, please do not be alarmed. Once the investigation of the Ye Family is complete, everything will be fine, provided no problems are found."
Ye Shixian was dumbfounded.
'Investigate the Ye Family?'
'Why would they suddenly investigate my family out of the blue!?'
"N-No, you can't!"
Lian Zhou was unmoved, his tone frigid.
"Whether we can or not is not for you to decide, Miss Ye."
The words were like a bucket of ice water poured over Ye Shixian's head, chilling her to the bone.
She suddenly realized something and whipped her head around to look at Ye Chutang.
"You!"
Ye Chutang blinked, a gentle, innocent smile gracing her lips.
"Me? What did I do?"
"You! This must be your doing—" Ye Shixian cried, agitated. "Otherwise, why would they suddenly raid the Ye Family!?"
Ye Chutang lightly brushed the hem of her skirt, as if merely speaking so close to Shixian had sullied her clothes.
