Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 526: Fewer Than a Hundred, Is That All?

Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Fewer Than a Hundred, Is That All?

This kind of thing that harms others without benefiting oneself, Shi Jiumei just loves to do it.

Moreover, by concealing some things, some details, and having information that the other party doesn’t possess, it’s easier to take the initiative.

Shi Jiumei is no philanthropist, she won’t tell everything she knows to Xu Huizhen and Ye Ning all at once.

She will definitely hold back something for herself.

And the matter concerning Zhao Gushen is the most crucial thing related to Ye Fei.

If she were to conceal something, it would naturally be the most critical point.

Ye Fei thought, Shi Jiumei probably wouldn’t mention anything about Zhao Gushen.

Perhaps she intended to pit both sides against each other.

Shi Jiumei wanted Ye Fei to get entangled with Xu Huizhen and Ye Ning.

But it’s not to actually let Xu Huizhen and Ye Ning gain any advantage from Zhao Gushen.

That saying that your enemies know you best turned out to be quite true.

Ye Fei’s guess about Shi Jiumei’s thoughts was fairly accurate.

"So, I’d like to ask you to have someone keep an eye on things on the day of the competition on Saturday," Ye Fei said.

Zhao Gushen raised an eyebrow, "Why are you being so polite? Between us, there’s no need for such formality."

Ye Fei nodded with a smile and directly said, "Shi Jiumei doesn’t know where I live, so she can’t tell them either. If my parents want to see me, their quickest option might be to go to the competition site on Saturday."

"They might try to find me through Shi Jiumei backstage or block me at the entrance of the competition. However, there are several entrances to the venue, so they’ll find it hard to be sure where I’ll exit from. Therefore, the likelihood they choose the entrance to block me isn’t very high."

"Most likely, they’ll go backstage directly through Shi Jiumei," Ye Fei said to Zhao Gushen. "Before we confirm whether they know about our relationship, I can’t meet them yet."

"I must ascertain how much they know about my situation to be able to respond effectively," Ye Fei stated firmly. "I absolutely can’t be in a weak position."

"So, during the competition, I’d like you to have people keep a close watch. That includes every entrance and exit of the venue and every path leading to the backstage. Everything needs to be tightly monitored. Until then, I can’t meet them," Ye Fei insisted.

"Rest assured," Zhao Gushen didn’t delay and immediately assigned the task.

The security detail from the Zhao Family were mostly retired special forces personnel, along with retired Hidden Guards from Lanshan Courtyard.

But these people are the best of the best.

The other families in the Eight Great Families are also recruiting.

So, the number of people each family can have isn’t too many.

Each family only gathered less than a hundred people.

The rest are professional bodyguards.

But in the eyes of the Eight Great Families, these still aren’t as professional as those from Lanshan Courtyard.

Therefore, even the professional bodyguards are trained and improved by retired Hidden Guards from Lanshan Courtyard.

Fortunately, Zhao Gushen didn’t say this thought aloud.

Otherwise, anyone who heard it would certainly gasp in shock.

Just less than a hundred people, and that’s all?

Moreover, these less than a hundred people are special forces and Hidden Guards from Lanshan Courtyard.

What kind of security team is this?

With them around, it’s like having a moving impenetrable wall of defense.

And even with that, the Eight Great Families still find it insufficient?

Still unsatisfied?

Think it’s lacking?

Just these elite members alone are close to a hundred people.

Not to mention the other bodyguards specifically raised by the families.

In reality, it’s hard to say exactly how many there are.

Just thinking about it, the numbers are staggering.

Of course, the Eight Great Families would never make such things public.

Revealing the true strength of their family in any aspect would be very dangerous.

After assigning all the tasks, Zhao Gushen hung up the phone, still a bit uneasy, and muttered to himself, "Should I bring in more people from Lanshan Courtyard?"

After a pause, he added, "I think I should bring some over. Just to be on the safe side."

"No need," Ye Fei quickly stopped him. "It’s just about stopping two people, and with Shi Jiumei, that’s three. Two of them are my parents, and they’re just ordinary middle-aged people. How could they possibly not be stopped? You don’t need such a big operation. The people in your team are enough."

"If you really bring more people from Lanshan Courtyard, along with your own team, are you planning to completely surround the venue inside and out?" Ye Fei imagined the scene and felt it was a bit over-the-top.

Finally, Zhao Gushen was persuaded.

The movements of Ye Dezhang and Xu Huizhen were completely under Zhao Gushen’s watchful eye.

All that was missing was putting a monitor on them to track in real-time.

From the moment Ye Dezhang and Xu Huizhen landed by plane, their every movement was being monitored. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

What hotel they stayed in, what car they took, the license plate number, what places they passed by, and what they did in between.

Zhao Gushen had it all figured out.

However, since they didn’t actually have surveillance devices on them.

Once Ye Dezhang and Xu Huizhen entered the hotel, they couldn’t easily monitor what happened in the room.

After Ye Dezhang and Xu Huizhen were settled in, unpacked, and tidied up a bit.

Xu Huizhen contacted Shi Jiumei using the information Ye Ning provided.

"Which hotel are you staying at? I’ll come find you," Shi Jiumei got excited as soon as she heard Xu Huizhen and Ye Dezhang had arrived.

Ye Fei’s good days were numbered!

Xu Huizhen reported the hotel name.

Shi Jiumei immediately set off.

Forty minutes later, Shi Jiumei appeared at the hotel entrance.

At the same time, the people Zhao Gushen sent quickly reported this to him.

When Shi Jiumei arrived at the hotel room, she said, "Huh, didn’t Sister Ye Ning come?"

Ye Dezhang smiled benignly, "The restaurant at home had some sudden issues, so Ye Ning stayed in Ye City to deal with it. She’ll come if she can manage in time."

Shi Jiumei’s heart skipped a beat.

Without Ye Ning overseeing, can just Ye Dezhang and Xu Huizhen manage?

Xu Huizhen said, "Before we came, Ning Ning explained everything to me. If something happens, I’ll discuss it with Ning Ning before making any decisions."

Shi Jiumei felt a little more assured.

Given how easy it is to contact each other now.

"Did Ning Ning tell you? When it comes to meeting Ye Fei, we’ll need your help," Xu Huizhen said. "We don’t know where Ye Fei lives. The only way we can find her is at the competition site."

"But there are so many people at the competition venue, we can’t get close to her. We’re afraid the contestants have a special passage, and we might not be able to go the same way. Plus, there are so many entrances and exits, we don’t know which one to wait at. If we pick the wrong one, we’ll miss her."

"As the competition gets more intense, it’s still uncertain whether Ye Fei will advance in the next round," Xu Huizhen said.

Just then, the kettle in the room finished boiling.

Ye Dezhang went to make tea and brought it back for Xu Huizhen and Shi Jiumei.
