Chapter 270 The Opponent Makes Another Move (Please Subscribe)

“Of course, I’ll give this ointment to you, Sister Lin. You can decide for yourself,” Xu Ye said with a smile.

"That's great, thank you," Zhu Lin said happily.

Before asking, she was worried that Xu Ye would disagree.

"Sister-in-law, could you please help tidy up the rooms in the west wing?"

"Those people searched everywhere, and I don't know what they did to the house," Xu Ye said to Wang Huiyu.

Xu Ye decided to keep Wang Huiyu at home as a nanny, and he would take care of her food and drink himself.

Xu Ye still had to take care of things at home, but he didn't want to do that because his time was precious.

In addition, Wang Huiyu had nowhere else to go.

If you have nothing to do all day, you're more likely to overthink.

People who overthink things are more likely to cause trouble.

“Okay,” Wang Huiyu said happily.

She's worried that Xu Ye will ignore her, and then she won't be able to stay there for long.

Letting her do things means that Xu Ye is willing to accept her staying at home.

"No need, I can manage on my own," Zhu Lin quickly refused.

“You’re not feeling well today, so don’t do any work. Come with me to rehearse your lines. I’m starting filming this weekend, so we need to get familiar with each other.” With that, Xu Ye pulled Zhu Lin away.

Zhu Lin felt a sweet warmth in her heart and followed Xu Ye to the main house.

There wasn't much in the main room, and after searching around, there weren't many changes.

"I'll tie the white tiger up first, so it won't scare Xiao Ning later." With that, Xu Ye went to tie the white tiger to the door of the main room.

Ping An doesn't need to be leashed, after all, it's still small and not aggressive.

Right now, it's still following behind Xu Ye, which shows that it likes Xu Ye very much.

After tying up the white tiger, Xu Ye went inside to rehearse with Zhu Lin.

Ping An lay obediently on the side, glancing at Xu Ye and then at Zhu Lin, seemingly full of curiosity.

After going over the scene once, Wang Huiyu tidied up the place.

Coincidentally, Julie and her family also returned with their children.

The white tiger noticed and immediately stood up.

"White Tiger, sit back down," Xu Ye said, then walked to White Tiger's side, squatted down, and patted its head.

Dogs that bite don't bark, and this is true for most hunting dogs as well.

Those who shout the loudest are just bluffing.

"Mom, Dad, dog! We have a dog now!" Lu Ning shouted happily, then ran towards the white tiger.

At that moment, Ping An also rushed out of the house.

"Wow, there are even puppies!" Lu Ning's eyes lit up immediately.

When Ping An saw Lu Ning running over, she immediately hid behind Xu Ye.

Clearly, it felt that Xu Ye could protect it.

Xu Ye picked up Xiao Ping'an and said softly, "Don't be afraid, this is Sister Xiao Ning."

Lu Ning cautiously approached and stretched out her small hand: "The puppy is so cute!"

Ping An hesitated for a moment, then slowly stuck out her nose and sniffed.

"Its name is Ping An." Xu Ye placed the puppy in Lu Ning's arms. "From now on, it's a member of our family."

Julie looked at the white tiger in surprise: "What is this big dog?"

“It was borrowed to help guard the house,” Xu Ye explained. “It’s called White Tiger, and it’s very intelligent.”

As if it understood, the white tiger wagged its tail at Julie.

Lu Tao looked at the white tiger warily: "This dog won't bite, will it?"

Xu Ye smiled and said, "Don't worry, Baihu is well-trained."

Just then, Zhu Lin came out of the house: "Xiao Ning is back?"

"Auntie!" Lu Ning hugged Ping An and ran towards Zhu Lin.

The white tiger suddenly pricked up its ears and abruptly turned towards the courtyard gate.

Clearly, someone else has arrived.

But who could it be?
Soon, there was a knock on the door.

"I'll go." Xu Ye walked quickly towards the gate.

After opening the door, I found that it was someone from the outer courtyard.

"We're moving out tomorrow, and we just wanted to let you know."

"The factory has already allocated us houses." After saying that, he handed Xu Ye a cigarette.

"Congratulations on your new house!" Xu Ye said with a smile.

Xu Ye didn't expect that they would also be allocated a house.

That's really lucky!

In this way, my courtyard house renovation plan can begin.

He wanted to convert a garage in the outer courtyard, since he would definitely need to buy a car later.

The outer courtyard faces an alley, and it's quite noisy when people live there, so it's more suitable for setting up your own studio.

The inner courtyards are enclosed by walls, and while they are connected to each other, they are also independent of each other.

The two chatted for a few more minutes, then Xu Ye closed the door and went back inside.

"Xu Ye, who's here?" Zhu Lin walked over carrying Ping An.

“The students from the outer courtyard have also been allocated apartments and will be moving out tomorrow,” Xu Ye explained.

Zhu Lin was somewhat surprised to hear that the outer courtyard was also moving.

Are houses so easy to allocate these days?

Neither of them received a new house before, but now both families have been allocated one?

Is it because the feng shui here is too good?
What's frustrating for Zhu Lin is that she'll soon be moving as well.

Her family would never allow her to live alone in Xu Ye's courtyard.

Unless, she and Xu Ye have registered their marriage.

If you're just dating, you can't stay at the other person's house right now.

Is it possible that there's only one month left?

Clearly, Zhu Lin thought it was impossible.

Xu Ye is too old to get a certificate.

This is Beijing; we can't just transplant the rural practice of holding banquets without obtaining licenses here.

"It's almost time. Sister Lin, you should get some rest early tonight." Xu Ye wanted to go back and have the eagle come down.

Now that it's dark, no one else can see the eagle.

At that time, there were no night vision devices.

Zhu Lin thought Xu Ye was worried about her health, so she nodded.

She was really tired today because she didn't get much sleep last night.

At this moment, he is indeed forcing himself to hold on.

"I'm going back to sleep now. I'll rehearse with you tomorrow night." After saying that, Zhu Lin went to bed.

Xu Ye made a gesture in the courtyard and then went into the side room.

A minute later, two eagles darted in from the corner of the roof.

He took the letter from Ying Yong's feet and read it carefully.

There were five letters in total, written by Jiang Ruoan, Jiang Ruyue, Gu Yun, and Huang Sisi, and one by Li Dongming and Li Qing.

By the light of the kerosene lamp, Xu Ye carefully read the letter.

They mainly talked about how much they missed Xu Ye, and also mentioned some recent developments in the village, as well as the things Xu Ye had asked them to do.

When Xu Ye finally opened Li Dongming's letter, his expression suddenly became serious.

"Several strangers have recently come to the Sanxi Brigade; they've been asking about you."

Xu Ye frowned; it seemed someone hadn't given up yet.

He quickly prepared ink and picked up his brush, writing a reply to everyone. His reply to Li Dongming was particularly detailed, urging him to be vigilant.

After replying to the letter, Xu Ye gave them some rewards.

They're not allowed to deliver messages now; they're definitely resting.

As for that device, Xu Ye did not send the eagles to retrieve it.

It's fine if you lose it; it's troublesome to find it again.

If someone is watching, it could be very troublesome if they suddenly turn around and launch a surprise attack.

Then, Xu Ye returned to the main room.

The light was still on in the east wing, clearly indicating that Wang Huiyu had not yet gone to sleep.

So Xu Ye went to the east wing and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Wang Huiyu wiped away her tears and quickly got up.

"I'll just say a few words at the door." Xu Ye had no intention of going in, after all, he still wanted to avoid suspicion.

"Okay, go ahead and say it." Wang Huiyu opened the door and looked Xu Ye up and down.

This feeling of being respected deeply moved her.

"Sister-in-law, it's not easy for you to find a job these days, so why don't you do some chores at home? I'll be back for dinner every night, so you can cook it for me."

"Take this money to buy groceries, and I'll bring back some wild game for meat."

"In addition, I need to get rid of the vegetables in the yard and plant flowers and plants. Then I need to renovate the inner courtyard."

Wang Huiyu nodded and said gratefully, "Okay, I will do my best."

She knew that this was an opportunity Xu Ye had left for her.

Regardless, she is still Xu Meng's wife.

"I'm only doing this because you're my sister-in-law."

“If you remarry someday, it won’t be suitable for you to live here anymore,” Xu Ye said very decisively.

Wang Huiyu paused for a moment, then nodded.

Therefore, she felt that she couldn't rush into a divorce.

Once you're divorced, it's definitely not a good place to live anymore.

Xu Ye is still single, and it wouldn't be good if something were to happen between them.

Moreover, if Xu Ye had a wife, she would never allow a divorced woman like him to live here.

"Then get some rest. I'm going to rest too." With that, Xu Ye turned and went back.

Today, he will also go to work in the machine workshop.

After all, they wanted to get the beverage production line set up and complete the task as soon as possible.

After entering the mechanical workshop, Xu Ye began to get busy.

He needs to conduct on-site inspections of the entire production line, but he can still try to design and manufacture some simple equipment.

Xu Ye was working intently in the mechanical workshop, the bright lights illuminating his focused face.

His hands moved quickly among various tools and parts, sometimes picking up a wrench to tighten screws, sometimes carefully studying the drawings.

Time passed quietly, and after an unknown amount of time, Xu Ye finally completed the design and manufacture of a small component.

He rubbed his sore eyes, looked out the window; the night was deep and all was quiet.

He stretched and decided to go back to his room to rest first, since he had many things to do tomorrow.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window and fell on Xu Ye's face. He slowly opened his eyes, and a new day began.

After a quick wash, he went to the courtyard and found that Wang Huiyu was already boiling water. Wisps of smoke rose from the kitchen, adding a touch of life to the ancient courtyard.

"Sister-in-law, you've worked hard," Xu Ye said with a smile.

"It's no trouble at all, it's what I should do," Wang Huiyu replied with a smile, though her face showed a hint of restraint.

At this moment, Zhu Lin also came out of the room, and her complexion looked much better than yesterday.

Good morning, Xu Ye.

"Good morning, Sister Lin. How are you feeling today?" Xu Ye asked with concern.

"I'm much better, thank you for your concern." Zhu Lin smiled sweetly, a hint of shyness in her eyes.

"But you shouldn't go to exercise today, I can go by myself," Xu Ye instructed.

After all, menstruation lasts for quite a few days, and that ointment only relieves the pain, but it can't stop the bleeding during menstruation.

"Okay." Zhu Lin decided to listen to Xu Ye's suggestion.

Given her current condition, it's indeed not appropriate for her to go.

After washing her face, Xu Ye went straight to the park.

After training with Lin Hang, they went straight to the factory.

Upon arriving at the factory, Xu Ye went to his post and continued his work from the previous day.

It seems that yesterday's theft did not affect Xu Ye.

Xu Ye was focused on his work, the roar of the machines in the workshop filling the air. Suddenly, the workshop director rushed over, looking anxious.

"Xu Ye, the factory manager wants you to go to his office. It seems to be urgent," the workshop director said.

Xu Ye, puzzled, stopped what he was doing and followed the foreman to the factory manager's office. Along the way, he wondered what could be so urgent. Upon arriving at the factory manager's office, he gently knocked on the door.

"Come in," the factory manager's voice came from inside.

Xu Ye pushed open the door and saw the factory director sitting at his desk, his brows furrowed, with a stack of documents in front of him.

"Factory manager, you wanted to see me?" Xu Ye asked politely.

The factory manager pointed to the chair opposite him, gesturing for Xu Ye to sit down, and then said, "Xu Ye, our factory recently received a big order to manufacture a batch of new boilers."

"This was a good opportunity to improve the factory's efficiency, but the other party's technical standards were extremely high and time was tight."

"The factory is building a highly capable team, so we'd like you to join us. Are you up to the task?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ye felt a pang of anxiety.

When will it be my turn to join the factory?

There's a problem, there's definitely a problem.

But can he refuse?

If we refuse, there's no way to uncover the mastermind.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Factory manager, I'm willing to give it a try."

The factory manager nodded and said, "Very good, young people should have this kind of drive."

"You can go back now; the team will be up and running soon."

By evening, Xu Ye met the other members.

At the same time, I also learned about my job position.

The factory actually put him in charge of the steelmaking boiler, clearly intending to place him in a dangerous situation.

Having failed to frame someone, they're now resorting to killing themselves.

After all, these boilers contain molten iron at temperatures of over a thousand degrees Celsius. If a person falls in, they will be cremated instantly, leaving no body behind.

This is the most straightforward way to kill someone.

However, Xu Ye was least worried about martial prowess, since he himself was quite strong in martial arts.

If the other party makes a move, he can easily subdue them, then find out who the mastermind is, and follow the clues to dig out everyone and deal with them one by one.

Those people agreed without giving it much thought when they saw Xu Ye agree immediately.

Tomorrow, their team will officially begin operations.

Xu Ye estimated that they definitely wouldn't make a move at first, as that would be too obvious.

However, he also knew that those people wouldn't have much patience.

At most ten days later, action will be taken.

When Lin Hang returned, he heard that Xu Ye's position had been changed again, and he was quite envious.

The team Xu Ye joined had indeed won many awards in the factory before, so it was a rare opportunity for Xu Ye, as a newcomer, to join.

Little did he know that Xu Ye was able to get in because someone wanted him dead.

If Lin Hang knew, he definitely wouldn't be envious.
