Chapter 361 Distraction
Gu Mochen asked, "It's so dangerous for you to keep moving around like this! What if the person you rescued doesn't appreciate it? Will you be able to escape? How did you manage to rescue him?" Wen Chen said, "I brought my third sister with me. She rescued him." Ye Qingchen said, "You even called your third sister? Tell me! Who came up with the business idea? Why didn't you let Youyou tell Manager Li about the electronics directly?" Wen Xi said, "It was my second brother's idea. He said that if all the ideas came from the capital, then the people in the capital who came up with the ideas would be in more danger. Finding a spokesperson would allow us to make some money and also make money from manufacturing. This way, we just have that person act as a messenger, which is safer."
Ye Qingchen stood quietly in place, as if time had frozen at that moment. The children's explanations echoed in her ears, their words like the wind, scattering the words she had originally wanted to say.
Her brows furrowed slightly, her gaze sweeping rapidly across the faces of Wen Chen, Wen Xi, and the others like a scanner. Her heart, however, was like a lake tossed with a pebble, rippling with waves of emotion, her thoughts surging like a tidal wave.
The children's words did make some sense. Finding a spokesperson could not only generate revenue and money, but also effectively reduce the risk for the person in the capital who came up with the idea. It seemed like a win-win situation, but Ye Qingchen's intuition told her that things were probably not that simple.
Her mind raced with various possible scenarios and consequences, as she pondered whether there were any hidden loopholes or risks in the plan. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that there might be some unknown problems lurking behind this seemingly perfect plan.
Ye Qingchen took a deep breath and slowly said, "Wen Chen, tell me in detail how you brought Third Sister to rescue that person, what were the specific circumstances at the time? Also, what kind of person is this spokesperson you found?" Her voice was very calm, but it carried an undeniable authority.
Wen Chen straightened his chest and said seriously, "At that time, we happened to see that person trapped in a very dangerous place, surrounded by many enemies. My fifth brother and I came up with a plan. My fifth brother infiltrated the enemy's ranks and burned down the kitchen, while I waited outside to meet him and rescued him. After he came out, we first gave him some space water, but when he still wouldn't wake up, we went to find my third sister. She healed him as soon as she arrived."
Ye Qingchen nodded slightly and asked, "Then who is he?" Wenxi quickly chimed in, "He's a fallen nobleman here. Many people were pressuring him about the whereabouts of his family's heirloom, but he didn't know. We happened to rescue him. We've never let him see his face; he's always wearing a cloak. Recently, my second brother has been looking for someone to help spread his and my third sister's idea, and since he's out of town and doesn't have much direct connection with the powers in the capital, my second brother said this would ensure his safety to the greatest extent. So we contacted him. He's a grateful person; look at this bag of money."
A hint of doubt flashed in Ye Qingchen's eyes, and she couldn't help but start to think. Although the plan seemed quite comprehensive, it involved far too many steps, and a problem in any one of them could lead to total failure.
After careful consideration, Ye Qingchen made up her mind that she needed to gain a deeper understanding of the spokesperson. So, she held Wen Chen and Wen Xi tightly in her arms and carefully went over the entire business plan with them.
“Children, your ideas are really good,” Ye Qingchen said gently, “but we cannot overlook any detail. Every step is crucial, and the slightest carelessness could lead to unexpected consequences.”
She continued, “I think you can wear this mask again next time you come. I have five masks here, one for each of you. As long as you wear this mask, you absolutely cannot take it off without chanting the incantation. This way, we can better protect ourselves and avoid unnecessary trouble.”
Ye Qingchen's tone was full of patience and concern; she hoped the children could understand her good intentions.
The children nodded earnestly. Wen Chen said, "Mother, we understand. We will be careful." Looking at their young and energetic faces, Ye Qingchen felt both gratified and worried. These children were clever and quick-witted, but the business world was like a battlefield, far too dangerous. And these two children were still quite young. Ye Qingchen said to them, "You two should go back quickly. You still need to study your martial arts diligently so we can feel more at ease. Also, how did you understand what he was saying?"
Gu Wenchen said, "We discovered that we understand many languages, so communication is effortless." Gu Mochen... he suddenly felt like he was the most useless person.
Gu Mochen looked at everyone with a serious expression and slowly said, "You should all go back. Since you won't be able to see him again for another month, don't come back in the meantime. We need to investigate this person's specific situation and understand his background and intentions. Also, don't run around like this anymore. You were very lucky to come to this place this time, but remember, there are always people more capable than you. If you encounter any danger, you won't be able to handle it, and that would be too dangerous."
Ye Qingchen quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, you two hurry up and listen to your eldest brother. Go back right now. When you get back, tell Youyou to stop thinking about making money everywhere. He's already made enough. And third brother, you shouldn't be going out to practice medicine all the time. I'm really worried about you."
Gu Wenxi quickly explained, "Mother, don't worry. Third Sister is protected by the Four Divine Beasts, so she'll definitely be fine. Besides, Uncle Sanqi has specially assigned someone to protect her, so she'll be safe. We'll be fine too. Look, we've been practicing martial arts really well lately."
After the two men left with the money, Gu Mochen and Ye Qingchen approached Song Ming. Just as they were about to explain, Song Ming said, "Alright, you two. Ever since the day you brought me those medicinal herbs, I've noticed you're different. Bai Zhi and Fu Ling aren't unaware of this, but you're always helping others. So whether you're gods or ghosts, it's not our concern. We only care about your safety. Your children aren't normal kids, so we're very accepting. You don't need to explain further."
Gu Mochen smiled and said, "You're right, then we won't explain anymore. Just remember, we would never harm anyone!" Song Ming said, "Alright, let's go. They've been waiting for a long time, and they're probably worried."
