However, Ye Mei had already received a hint from Ye Ke. She knew that Ye Maocai had hung a painting of a beauty in the study. There seemed to be something fishy about that painting. There was something “important” in the painting. Now that Ye Maocai had just been taken away, Ye Mei was not afraid of being discovered.

Because everyone in the Ye family was in a panic, there was no one guarding the study. It was easy for Ye Mei to enter. She quickly found the painting. The painting was hung on the wall opposite Ye Maocai’s desk. Ye Mei walked over and touched it with both hands, but she realized that the painting was very flat.

Ye Mei did not give up. She looked around again, but she still did not find anything. She was a

little frustrated and suspected that Ye Maocai had moved the thing in the painting to somewhere else. Ye Mei looked at the painting angrily, only to see that there was something wrong with the beauty in the painting.

The beauty in the painting stood under the peach tree with a faint smile. Her face was rosy, making her look shy. Her eyes were very cold and devoid of smiles, but they were sparkling, giving people the illusion that this painting was lifelike, making people feel a chill run down their spines.

Ye Mei’s heart skipped a beat. She suddenly reached out to touch the eyes of the beauty in the painting. As expected, where her fingers touched the eyes, there was a hard bulge. She pressed hard, and with a bang, the painting hanging on the wall suddenly caved in. She was excited and reached in to take out a box made of iron.

The box should be where Ye Maocai kept his secrets. After Ye Mei took it, she turned around and was about to leave.

At this moment, the study door suddenly creaked open. Ye Mei was stunned and saw Ye Hongguang entering in a wheelchair. Seeing Ye Meit Ye Hongguang was stunned. “Sister?”

Ye Hongguang was very uneasy today,

All the servants in the mansion were in a panic. He, a crippled young master, did not have a high status in the mansion. Usually, with Ye Maocai protecting him, they would not go too far. However, once Ye Maocai was gone, Madam Ye would not care about him at all, let alone the servants.

Ye Hongguang was also very worried about Ye Maocai, but no one in the mansion explained the situation to him. Frustrated, he could only go to Ye Maocai’s study. It was as if as long as he was in the study, he could feel Ye Maocai’s presence.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the study, he saw Ye Mei.

“Sister, why are you here?” Ye Hongguang asked.

Ye Mei was still holding the box in her hand. When she saw that it was Ye Hongguang, she heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. “Oh, Father asked me to come here to fetch something for him. I saw that the servants in the mansion were busy, so I came to get it myself.”

“What is it?” Ye Hongguang’s gaze landed on the box in Ye Mei’s arms. “Is it the box you’re holding?”

Ye Mei smiled and said, “That’s right.” She then said, “Third Brother, are you here to look for something too? Then I won’t disturb you. I’ll leave this room to you. Third Brother, take your time.” She was about to leave when she heard him suddenly say, “Sister, don’t you know that Father never lets women into his study?”

Ye Mei paused and stopped in her tracks..
