Assassin Dad and His Genius Daughter

Ren Ye wore a casual t-shirt and black shorts, donning white athletic trainers as he got off a Mercedes, Butler Zhao rolled down his windows and gave him a glance; looking him up and down with slight interest.

"You must have accumulated great merits in your past life to be driven off to work by a Mercedes."

Although he was joking, Ren Ye felt a slight poking disturbance inside his heart. He didn't speak and lowered his expression calmly, Butler Zhao laughed dismissively.

He drove off in a red Mercedes, on the orders of Jing Xue who planned to take Ren Jia around the city for a day and let her choose a kindergarten.

Ren Ye slammed his palm against his chest roughly as he turned to enter Uncle Jie's company, it felt rather awkward for him to go to work as usual after what he did to Deng Ming and the secret files Uncle Jie kept under his bed.

Ren Ye raised his head and laid his eyes on a crowd of people in front of the company with their hands on their hips and extremely uncomfortable expressions on their faces.

He immediately figured out what was happening.

Uncle Jie was normally in charge of guiding his employees, he was the manager of his company. Apparently, they were looking for him and there was no one inside their building.

Deng Ming was likely still unconscious…

"Damnit! I came here at 6 am to ask Boss to assign a mechanic! He was nowhere to be found!"

"Boss told me to come here at 7 am to bring over my document papers!"

Each of them had their own reasons for coming here in a hurry today, Ren Ye felt a growing ache in his head as he realized how ugly it could get when there isn't a leader or a manager.

This prompted him to put even more attention on the whereabouts of Uncle Jie…

Ren Ye didn't budge as he walked up to them and blended himself into the crowd, he suddenly raised his hands and clapped them. Catching everyone's attention was what he wanted.

"Boss will be going on a vacation for a couple of days, you shouldn't have come here."

"But he had specifically told me he would be free today, " One of them spoke up with an anxious tone.

"You should try to engage them into a convincing conversation, finding his location may not be easy I'm afraid," Old Yi sighed loudly and informed Ren Ye, "It is best if you try to put an impression of you on them and bring up your relationship with him and maybe one of them may recognize you."

"I have realized how much of a mistake we made when we put Deng Ming into a conscious state," Old Yi chuckled bitterly.

Ren Ye nodded his head and continued to speak in a low tone, "He couldn't inform any of you due to the urgency of his situation, I came here to inform you on his behalf."

"Why should we trust you?"

They raised their suspicions as Ren Ye smiled indifferently at them. Before Ren Ye could raise his voice and speak, an unfamiliar voice sounded out in his ears.

Ren Ye's feet suddenly stopped as Ren Ye raised his eyes and watched the owner of the voice. The owner of the voice stood behind the crowd and was completely unnoticeable.

Ren Ye felt something was off as his intuition didn't inform him beforehand and he couldn't read his footsteps as well.

It was from an obese man of an extremely low height, Ren Ye had to raise his head more than usual to look at the man. The man put on a lot of weight as the shirt he was wearing was threatening to burst open.

He wore black-rimmed glasses as he adjusted them with a confident smile and opened his plump lips, only uttering one of the most horrifying things Ren Ye has ever heard, "This man is the illegitimate child of Boss Jie."

"…"

Ren Ye had the bursting urge to pick an axe and throw it at this idiot for spouting nonsense, it was apparent this young man doesn't know what he is speaking.

Old Yi suddenly let out a long-lasting chuckle as he tried to contain his laughter, "This lad must have heard about Uncle Jie's secret activities and came up with whatever he could find, only to throw you into the dirt."

It was practically impossible and unacceptable for Ren Ye to be someone's illegitimate child, he was unable and will never accept this idea.

"Brat! Watch your mouth!"

Ren Ye blurted out with twitching veins, his words of choice were rather poor as the surrounding people misunderstood his words. Their mouths immediately dropped open as they looked at Ren Ye in astonishment.

This man didn't deny it but rather tried to hide away his birth legitimacy!

Ren Ye immediately realized what they were thinking and wanted to facepalm himself, he mustered up the courage and glared coldly at the fat young man.

The fat young man appeared smug as he curled his lips into a gracious smile as though he did social justice as he opened his mouth and uttered even more nonsense, "Deng Jie isn't an honorable man, he did many ugly things behind society's back and tried to cover them away."

"What a relief, I found him with this man and watched as he treats this man even better than his own son."

The fat young man raised his hand and pointed it at Ren Ye's face, "You and Deng Ming are around the same age, Uncle Jie had done dirty things behind his wife's back at that time."

Ren Ye rubbed his throbbing temple.

This fat young man was a nuisance to him as Ren Ye had the urge to run to her and slap him. As though the urge was about to burst, Ren Ye actually walked over to the young man.

He watched the fat young man's smug face coldly as he muttered the question he had inside his head, "Who are you?"

The fat young man's smug face immediately grew grave as he sneered arrogantly, "Do you think you have the right to know my name?"

"Mm?"

"Li Zemin."

Li Zemin as in "Kindness to the people". Looking at the owner of the name, it was the complete opposite. Ren Ye curled his lips into a cold smile before stopping himself.

"Li Zemin, isn't that the young man who goes around exposing socialites and businessmen in the industry?"

One of the people from the crowd suddenly spoke up with a surprised expression before being replaced with a shy and nervous expression as Ren Ye overheard it and placed his attention on him.

"That's right."

"I am Li Zemin, an editor, and author of the country's best newspaper, you should be grateful to have me in your presence," He spoke in a childish tone as he adjusted his glasses arrogantly.

"What brings you here?"

Ren Ye didn't know why this young man would even come here, to expose rich men, wouldn't that be dangerous and stupid of him to do?

"I got a report from the Local Bureau, informing of a case of power abuse from the Deng family. As an adventurer, I came here with my gathered evidence and expose him."

He spoke confidently as he took out a badge from his sleeves and showed it off to Ren Ye, Ren Ye didn't appear impressed as he shook his head amusingly.

"Are you stupid?"

Ren Ye mused with a strange expression.

Li Zemin felt slightly offended by the lack of reaction from Ren Ye as he decided to bring up more of his achievements, "Stupid, this is the easiest way I could make money."

"Life back in high school wasn't the best but once I discovered this job, I became my best self and got to interview the world's richest man multiple times."

"I didn't ask."

Ren Ye replied with a deadpan expression.

"…"

He was thinking of something else inside his head.

Li Zemin let it slip that he had gotten a report from the Local Bureau, if he remembered correctly, Uncle Jie made a request for it to be kept strictly confidential. How could this fat guy get this information from?

He was awfully suspicious of this Li Zemin.

Apparently, as he expected, Uncle Jie was fooled by the local security system and had his report case leaked. Could his disappearance be related to this? Could Sun De find out?

What a shame, I ended Sun De before I could find out more about this. How could they possibly leak such information from someone like Deng Jie? Could there be someone who is on guard against him or someone who bears a grudge for something he did in the past?

The latter question had a guess in his head and it all pointed to the day when he was embroiled in a kidnapping attempt by 'Sun De'. He was an employee of the Deng Family's business and he had helped the target escape.

For anyone who has uncontrollable anger issues and paranoia, the first thing they would do after discovering their scheme has failed would be to

Eliminate the cause!
