Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

The secret guard was about to answer subconsciously when the yard in front of him suddenly lit up. Several people dressed as guards looked like ghosts under the dim yellow light, which made Wen Baicao's eyes flicker with shock.

"Did Ye Yun specifically ask you to wait for me here?"

Hearing Wen Baicao's surprised words, Ye Yun walked out and looked at him, then sighed and said, "If I don't do this, won't you have the same opinion as Tu Zhizhi?"

Wen Baicao was surprised when he heard this: "I'm just an ordinary businessman, how dare I treat you like this?"

Without waiting for Ye Yun to answer, Wen Baicao asked again: "What did Tu Zhizhi do? Why does she make you so cautious?"

His tone was full of curiosity, but the expression on his face said otherwise.

Ye Yun stared at him for a while, with a helpless smile on his face, "Wen Baicao, this name is really good. I also think it's a pity for you to be a businessman with such a name."

"I didn't expect that your name was fake, and you are the son of a noble family."

Ye Yun's tone was quite calm when he said this, as if he had been investigating Wen Baicao's identity for a long time.

I said it in front of him on purpose at this moment just to test him again.

Although Wen Baicao didn't know Ye Yun's plan, when she heard him talk about his past, she knew what he was planning.

He rubbed his cheeks and sighed, "My identity as a businessman is not good, but it is not bad either. However, I performed impeccably. Why did you send someone to investigate me?"

"Am I so untrustworthy of your trust? But Tu Zhizhi gave me a guarantee, and I gave the Eighth Prince a large amount of money."

"For the sake of this money, the Eighth Prince must trust me!"

The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he felt. Wen Baicao looked very sad, as if he was extremely heartbroken.

Seeing his expression change, Ye Yun shook his body unconsciously, and said with a slightly restrained expression: "Are you willing to speak in this tone in front of Tu Zhizhi?"

Ye Yun said this lightly, but Wen Baicao understood what he meant and couldn't help but said with a smile, "If Tu Zhizhi hadn't used my son before, let alone spoken in such a tone, I might have been humble in front of her."

"It's a pity that she has thoughts that she shouldn't have, and my son is very stupid. In order to prevent her from using my son to achieve her ulterior motives, I naturally have to abandon her and choose you."

Having said this very seriously, Wen Baicao sighed deeply.

"Ye Yun, I know that when you sent someone to invite me, I thought that Tu Zhizhi's actions were within your expectations, and we also had a tacit understanding, but I thought too much."

"It seems that Tu Zhizhi really can't die at this time, otherwise you and the Eighth Prince will kill me to avenge her."

Wen Baicao's voice was very calm, but her tone was like winter snow blowing into one's heart, making one feel a chill.

Ye Yun stared at him meaningfully for a long time, then smiled and said, "How can you be sure that the Eighth Prince and I will do this? Wen Baicao, if you are willing to show your true strength in front of the Eighth Prince, what does Tu Zhizhi count for?"

"It's a pity that you haven't made any plans for more than a month. You have been dealing with us as a businessman."

"If I hadn't noticed that you were quite capable and hadn't used my connections to investigate you, I wouldn't have known that you had such a big secret."

"Tu Zhizhi used your son, probably because she didn't know who you were, otherwise she would have shown her affection for your son and made you work for him wholeheartedly."

Ye Yun spent a long time looking for Wen Baicao, and finally found out about him, but he didn't expect that he was staying in the Ninth Prince's base.

He had previously thought that Wen Baicao had noticed his intentions and deliberately hid in the Ninth Prince’s camp.

After communicating with him now, Ye Yun knew that he had no such plan.

The reason why he stayed with the Ninth Prince for such a long time was probably because he had an unspeakable deal with the Ninth Prince.

"If Tu Zhizhi could put aside her status, my son would have been captured by her long ago." Hearing Ye Yun's joking words, Wen Baicao's secretly tense heartstrings unconsciously relaxed.

"Tu Zhizhi appears to be proud, but in fact she is a flexible person. But the prerequisite is that she must be impressed by the value of your interests." Ye Yun hinted.

Wen Baicao pretended to cough and said, "I understand what you mean, and I also know what Tu Zhizhi wants to get from me, but my value is not as great as you think."

"Tu Zhizhi is well-informed, why would she be attracted to my stupid son?"

"Really? Then why did the Ninth Prince keep you for so many days?" Seeing that he was trying to cover it up, Ye Yun asked without hesitation.

Wen Baicao remained calm and said, "I am a businessman. The Ninth Prince has been attacking Yongzhou City for so long that his food and grass have long been insufficient. Moreover, when Chen Changli went to rescue his child, he deliberately burned the food and grass."

"In order to raise new food and fodder, the Ninth Prince has to entrust the matter to me."

"Fortunately, I have a lot of people under my command, and I was able to gather the food and fodder he needed in a few days."

"Because I did a good job, the Ninth Prince stopped doubting me. This time, I found an excuse to come to Yongzhou City, and he readily agreed."

"Otherwise, based on what happened to Chen Changli before, the Ninth Prince would have already regarded me as an enemy and would have been on guard against me. How could he have allowed me to arrive in Yongzhou City safely?"

Wen Baicao said this deliberately, and his intention was very clear, which was to tell Ye Yun.

The reason why they, father and son, were able to come to Yongzhou City was because they paid a certain price in front of the Ninth Prince. It was not because of cooperation as he thought that they were sent to Yongzhou City by the Ninth Prince.

As for whether Ye Yun believed it or not, he didn't care. Anyway, he had said it now. What Ye Yun thought was his business.

"You are indeed an experienced businessman." Ye Yun sighed, "If I hadn't checked your identity in advance and received the news after you left, I would have been fooled by you at this moment."

He shook his head and made a gesture of invitation, "It's almost dawn. I'm going to ask you to rest for a while, and then I'll take you to see Chen Changli."

When Wen Baicao heard that he was going to take her to see Chen Changli, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, "Are you kidding me?"

Although he had business dealings with Wan Shufang and her husband, they did not have any deeper communication.

Why did Ye Yun ask him to meet Chen Changli? He couldn't have wanted him to watch how they tortured Chen Changli.

When his thoughts suddenly turned to this, there was something wrong with the look in Wen Baicao's eyes when he looked at Ye Yun.

"Chen Changli's mother is from the Xu family, and so is your mother, so I think there will be something to talk about if you two tell each other your identities." Ye Yun said meaningfully.

Wen Baicao's face darkened instantly: "What's wrong with you? Why do you like to rub salt into my wounds? Aren't you afraid that I will turn against you?"
