Late at night, in the Imperial Capital First Hospital's ICU,
Ye Bai lay wrapped like a mummy, his gaze drifting to the fluttering curtains outside.
Hecate quietly entered the ward.
"Hecate harmed Satan, please punish me, master." Hecate bowed slightly, offering no defense.
She understood Ye Bai—an extremely arrogant man who cared only about results, not process.
Even if furious, he wouldn't speak openly.
In the last life, she knew Ye Bai's ruthlessness—those who offended him seemed fine outwardly but were severely harmed in secret, even affecting their families.
He was worlds apart from the kind boy she liked.
"Hecate, I believe you had no choice. Tell me what you found out." Ye Bai's calm tone exuded a powerful authoritative pressure.
"The kidnapping was done by Ye Shichang." Hecate said calmly.
"Evidence?" Ye Bai's face was unreadable.
"Today I questioned Lin Tai. He told me the pendant was given by Ye Shichang." Ye Shichang was Ye Bai's uncle and the prime suspect.
"Is Lin Tai trustworthy?"
"I have become a trusted aide in his eyes." Hecate's visit was not to help Ye Bai but to divert his anger away from Lin Tai and prevent harm to Lin Tai and Ling Weifeng.
She didn't want to see her boy upset.
"Find a way to kill Ling Weifeng." Ye Bai's tone was calm but fiery.
Lin Tai was useful; Ling Weifeng could die.
He had never suffered such a loss despite years abroad.
"Ling Weifeng was sent to Hainan this afternoon. I sent you the hotel address." Hecate's eyes flickered, reminding Ye Bai Ling Weifeng's importance to Lin Tai.
"Heh, you think hiding in Hainan will keep him safe?" Ye Bai sneered.
"Since Lin Tai is alert, no rush. Hecate, continue investigating. I want to know who else besides Ye Shichang was involved." Ye Bai's face was grim.
Remembering his father's murder, he could endure anything.
"I will have them all die by my hand sooner or later!" Ye Bai clenched his fists.
"I also want to act in Lu Ziyan's movie and make a comeback." Ye Bai leaned on the bed.
After being seriously injured today, Ye Bai knew Xiao Yuxuan would no longer ally with him.
She was dangerous.
He needed a new ally—the Lu Family.
The Lu Family was the uncrowned king of Summer Kingdom's entertainment industry, controlling all media channels.
Controlling the narrative would be a sharp weapon.
Since the Lin Tai birthday banquet, he had become a joke in the top-tier elite.
He had to reinvent himself.
"Order issued: no matter the cost, bring down that male protagonist." Ye Bai originally planned to use his simple status to woo Xia Shihan and enter Summer Kingdom's top tier.
Unfortunately, he failed.
But that didn't matter. Since he couldn't open an internal crack, he would use money to smash one and show the top-tier elite his wealth!
It could also help court Xia Shihan—a two-birds-one-stone plan!
"Enough, I'm tired. Go back and don't let Lin Tai suspect you." Ye Bai waved, and Hecate quickly left.
Minutes later, a well-dressed man entered the ward.
"Boss, here's the investigation report." He handed Ye Bai a file documenting Hecate's recent interactions, down to what she ate.
Since the incident, Ye Bai distrusted Hecate and secretly investigated her.
Ye Bai frowned; the report was thorough and showed no issues.
So far, except for contact with Lin Tai, she said nothing to others.
Ye Bai didn't think Lin Tai could have turned Hecate.
"This is getting more interesting." Ye Bai felt an invisible hand manipulating the game but couldn't find the opponent's trace.
He desperately wanted to know who it was.
Was it Ye Shichang?
Or the old fox in Imperial Capital?
He would find out sooner or later.
"Monitor Hecate closely. Observe everyone she contacts." Ye Bai ordered.
If he suspected anything, even if there wasn't, there was!
