Chapter 183 Grandfather and Grandson's Secret Conspiracy
After hearing this, Grandpa Ye remained silent for a long time, his expression very serious.
Ye Xinghe cautiously glanced at her grandfather, then quickly lowered her eyes again.
"Grandpa really didn't expect..." Old Master Ye stopped mid-sentence, then suddenly couldn't help but chuckle, "Grandpa really didn't expect your methods to be so ruthless!"
"It's just like my grandfather's style back then."
Ye Xinghe looked surprised, then slowly smiled and asked, "Whose hair did you shave back then?"
Grandpa Ye smiled without saying a word, quietly eating his breakfast. After a while, he said, "Hurry up and eat. I'll tell you another time."
Ye Xinghe did not press the matter further.
She ate slowly, taking small bites. Grandpa Ye didn't leave after finishing his meal; he sat at the table reading the newspaper, keeping her company.
Ye Xinghe asked casually, "Have you heard anything from the hospital about Grandma? Is she able to come home today?"
"No, your second uncle's phone is off; it's probably dead." Grandpa Ye glanced at Ye Xinghe. "Do you want to come to the hospital with me after you finish breakfast?"
Ye Xinghe shook her head. "Forget it. I guess Grandma doesn't want to see me anyway. I'll just upset her if I go."
"Grandpa, I'm planning to go to the second..."
"Just eat properly and stop talking so much!" Old Master Ye suddenly shouted, startling Ye Xinghe, who stood there with her mouth half open.
"Ah Cai, go and clean up all the burned plants in the yard! Fill in any pits and level them out."
Ye Xinghe turned around and saw the maid, Ah Cai, standing not far behind her. She instantly understood; her grandfather's strong reaction meant that this person must be the problem.
She pouted and said in a wronged tone, "Okay, Grandpa."
Grandpa Ye winked at her, "I'm going back to my study first. You can eat by yourself!"
Ye Xinghe quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice, then knocked on the door and entered the study.
As soon as he came up, Grandpa Ye asked, "Do you want to go into the Buddhist prayer room on the second floor?"
Ye Xinghe nodded.
Grandpa Ye continued, "Do you know what's inside? What good would it do you even if you went in?"
Ye Xinghe confessed, "I know."
“Last night, I let Qiao Lin go in and take a look. There are two three-meter-long tables inside, with fifty or sixty Buddha statues of various sizes, and each Buddha statue contains a Siamese imp.”
"I plan to take the things inside and get rid of them."
"Nonsense!" Old Master Ye slammed his hand on the table, his eyes flashing with malice. "Do you know that there are security cameras in that Buddhist prayer room? And if someone opens the door, your grandmother's phone will get a notification! How could you take it upon yourselves to sneak in!"
"Grandpa, please calm down." Ye Xinghe explained, "Last night, Qiao Lin didn't go in through the door, he slipped in through the outside window. And when he went in, the power was off."
Grandpa Ye looked at Ye Xinghe without saying a word for a long time.
He didn't want Ye Xinghe to get involved, but given the current situation, it was too late to stop her; Ye Xinghe probably already knew.
"Hehe, Grandpa doesn't want you to get involved in this. I just want you to be a happy, ordinary child."
"This matter is far more complicated than what you see now. Perhaps this truth will overturn your understanding of your family. When you know the truth, you may never be able to face your grandmother or your second uncle again."
Ye Xinghe said helplessly, "Grandpa, how can I live an ordinary life in this family? Sometimes it's not that I choose to do this, but that the development of things forces me to make this choice."
"Besides, you underestimate me too much."
"My mental resilience is far stronger than you realize."
Grandpa Ye looked at Ye Xinghe with sharp eyes, "Grandpa believes that."
"But what's going on here is extremely dangerous. If they find out you're investigating..."
"There is a risk of losing your life at any time."
Ye Xinghe gave a wry smile. "Then what are you waiting for, Grandpa? Since these people have become so ruthless, why don't we strike first?"
"It's not the right time yet." Old Master Ye waved his hand gently. "For so many years, I've pretended not to know anything and secretly investigated. Otherwise, do you think you'd still be here talking to me now?"
Ye Xinghe was puzzled, "Why didn't Grandpa just kick her out of the Ye family? Why put himself in danger?"
Old Master Ye countered, "And why are you so insistent on investigating this matter? Why are you so determined to dispose of the items in the Buddhist prayer room?"
Ye Xinghe's gaze remained unwavering. "I don't want my family to be hurt! Nor do I want this thing to enter society and harm more people!"
Grandpa Ye smiled kindly. "Good. She truly is my granddaughter, Ye Junze."
"However, today is not the best time. Even if you go in today, what do you plan to do with the things inside?"
"Moreover, if we are not careful, we might alert the enemy. Then all our efforts over the years will be wasted."
Ye Xinghe rested her chin on her hands. "This is something I haven't been able to figure out since last night."
"I originally planned to switch the items, putting in the counterfeit ones and getting rid of the real ones. But there were too many, making it really difficult to do."
"And there are probably even more at Sanbao Temple."
Grandpa Ye's gaze turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "Hehe, let me tell you, you absolutely cannot go to Sanbao Temple again."
"You went there a while ago, which has already aroused your grandmother's suspicion. She hasn't been to Sanbao Temple for a few days now, so you must not do anything rash recently!"
"It's not just Siamese devils in there. It's hell on earth."
Ye Xinghe's eyes widened. "Hell on earth?"
"Can't we call the police? Can't the police do anything about it?"
Grandpa Ye didn't speak, he just smiled and shook his head.
Ye Xinghe lowered her head and murmured, "What is their ultimate goal in doing all this? If it's just for money, isn't our Ye family rich enough now? Even if we don't go out to work, we'll have enough to live on for the rest of our lives."
Grandpa Ye said earnestly, "Human nature is inherently greedy. Who would complain about having too much money? With money, one can have greater power."
"In short, remember this! You must communicate with me before making any plans! You must not act rashly. You absolutely must not go to Sanbao Temple again!"
Ye Xinghe did not agree, and frowned as she looked at Old Master Ye, "Then we can't let such a good opportunity go to waste."
"It's not my style, Ye Xinghe, not to make things difficult for them."
Old Master Ye glanced at him sideways, "What kind of wicked idea are you up to now?"
