Chapter 79

"Actually, I forgot," Ye Mo replied quickly and honestly. "Haven't I gotten used to having someone backing me up after all these years of fighting alone?"

She had truly forgotten that she could ask the Ye Family for help. If she needed resources or money, the Ye Family would be the first person she thought of. But when she actually encountered any difficulties, her first reaction was to solve them herself.

Nothing else...

"I've gotten used to handling everything myself," Ye Mo said.

In reality, she wasn't used to relying on others, so this incident was no different. Faced with someone who wanted to kill her, her first reaction was to handle it herself. Moreover, because of the potential danger, she didn't dare tell Shen Yan and the others, fearing that it would implicate them.

Upon hearing her words, Ye Lin couldn't help but take a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and said, "Are you saying this on purpose to soften my heart?"

Ye Mo looked at him expectantly and asked, "So, did you soften your heart?"

Ye Lin reached out and gently patted Ye Mo's forehead, sighing, "I can only say that my heart doesn't seem ruthless enough..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Mo smiled.

***

Ye Mo had finished giving her statement and could leave at any time. Seeing that Ye Mo was dressed in plain white ancient costume, Ye Lin knew that she hadn't slept all night, so he immediately asked the driver to take her home.

"Go back, have a meal, and get a good night's sleep." He said to Ye Mo with his head down, his tone calm. "Your parents are very worried about you. Think about how to explain it to them when you get back."

After saying that, he turned to Secretary Huang and said, "Secretary Huang, could you take her back for me, and also keep an eye on her so she doesn't encounter any danger on the way and go off on her own again?"

Ye Lin's last sentence was tinged with sarcasm.

Ye Mo, subjected to his sarcastic remarks:... I'll endure it!

After all, it was she who was in the wrong.

Ye Mo also felt like she was being stupid. With the Ye Family's resources, why didn't she use them? Mainly, Ye Mo was confident that Sun Qian couldn't hurt her. She didn't think this matter was that difficult, so she didn't even think about asking for help.

However, if we ask the Ye Family for help, this matter would be much simpler; she could just say a few words and it would probably be resolved.

Ye Mo secretly made up his mind: Next time something happens, I must go home and find someone!

She snorted inwardly, glancing at Ye Lin standing beside her, thinking, "I didn't go home to ask for help, and Ye Lin is still angry. This is the first time I've seen someone take on trouble for themselves."

Ye Lin had the driver take Ye Mo home, while he himself took a taxi to the company.

Ye Mo and Secretary Huang sat in the back seat. The Ye Family's private car was naturally very comfortable. Ye Mo stretched his limbs in the back seat, blinked, and felt a little sleepy.

Secretary Huang said, "Miss Ye. Ye, please don't be angry. The general manager is just concerned about you and afraid you'll get hurt."

"I know," Ye Mo said. She wasn't someone who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, so she understood why Ye Lin had just spoken coldly to her.

She didn't refute the mockery or sarcasm.

Secretary Huang said, "When the general manager saw the news online, he was worried that you might have encountered some bad treatment at the police station, so he immediately called Lawyer Li..."

"Lawyer Li?" Ye Mo asked, puzzled.

Secretary Huang: "It's that guy who was just with the general manager. He's the legal counsel Ye Corporation hired at a high salary. With him around, even if you really did something wrong, you'll be able to walk out of the police station unharmed."

Ye Mo sighed, "Secretary Huang, I'm a law-abiding citizen. Don't make me sound like some kind of outlaw." She wouldn't do anything illegal or disorderly.

Secretary Huang smiled, pursing her lips, and said, "I was just afraid you wouldn't know how capable Lawyer Li is."

Ye Mo: "... Thanks to you, I now truly understand."

Secretary Huang was amused by her.

Ye Mo looked at her, suddenly perked up, and asked curiously, "Secretary Huang, has your family's matter been resolved?"

Secretary Huang knew what she meant by "your family's affairs," and nodded rather reservedly, "It's been resolved, I suppose."

Ye Mo became even more curious after hearing this and asked, "How was it resolved?"

Secretary Huang smiled, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Miss Ye for giving me this idea. If it weren't for your advice, I wouldn't have been able to come to this conclusion... Oh, and I also have to thank the friend who introduced me to this."

Ye Mo raised an eyebrow— Secretary Huang really did contact his "friend"?

She silently urged Secretary Huang, giving him a "you better tell me all this" look, her eyes gleaming with gossip—although she could easily find out the details of Secretary Huang's family affairs from 888, gossip is never as relatable as it comes from the person directly involved.

Seeing that she was interested, Secretary Huang told her about her family situation in detail.

"A few days after I went back that day, that family came to my house and made a scene several more times. I felt that this couldn't go on, so I decided to do as you said, Miss Ye..."

Ye Mo's suggestion to her was simple: if that family is making a fuss, then their family should make a fuss too. After all, when it comes to this matter, their family is the one who suffered the most, and they are the ones who should be Mingming.

"I contacted Miss Ye's friend and asked him to publicize what that family had done..."

That friend was quite ruthless. Secretary Huang simply explained their family's demands, and they understood. Then, no one knows what he did, but within two days, the family came to the Huang Family again. This time, they made an even bigger scene, throwing a tantrum at the Huang Family's doorstep while hurling insults and profanities.

From their insults, Secretary Huang learned what that "friend" had done: the other party had put up banners at the entrance of the family's residential compound and at their workplace, and even used a loudspeaker to publicize the family's actions.

Secretary Huang couldn't help but laugh as she spoke, feeling extremely pleased with herself.

Thanks to that "friend's" word-of-mouth, the family's relatives, friends, neighbors, and even colleagues quickly learned about their actions. Normal people would find their behavior utterly despicable, which caused the family to become infamous overnight.

When this family came to the Huang Family to cause trouble again, Secretary Huang was no longer as angry as before, her face turning red and not knowing what to do. Every time the family came, she would throw water on them. She even recorded the scene of the family causing trouble and sent it to that "friend," asking that "friend" to play the video for everyone to see when they went to put up banners again.

This made the family even more desperate.

Secretary Huang said casually, "After making a scene like this for half a month, that family didn't dare to come to my house to cause trouble anymore."

Just as Ye Mo said, to deal with immoral people, you really have to be even more immoral than them. Before, when that family came to cause trouble, the Huang Family family was too moral and tried to reason with them, but those family members were just thugs. How could you reason with them?

Now, Secretary Huang retaliated without holding back, using the same method, which deterred that family from causing trouble again.

"... If you do this, that family certainly won't dare to cause trouble," Ye Mo said thoughtfully. "But I'm afraid they might hold a grudge against you behind your back, harbor some malicious thoughts, and ultimately do something bad to you."

Secretary Huang, however, doesn't have the 888 system to cheat with, and faces real dangers that could appear at any time.

Secretary Huang felt a warm glow in her heart when she saw that Ye Mo was worried about her.
