Chapter 2336: Chapter 140: Who Do You Think You Are?
Outside the TV station, after Ye Zhan sent away a group of reporters, he was about to enter when his phone rang.
Glancing at the caller ID, his slender fingers pressed the answer button, “Hello, Jinchen.”
“Ah Zhan, where are you now?”
“What’s up?”
“Well, I just got a call from my family’s old master, asking us to go to the Presidential Palace. Did you receive a call?”
Tang Jinchen was on his way to the Presidential Palace.
Ye Zhan frowned slightly, his deep eyes looking toward the TV station inside.
After hearing Tang Jinchen’s words, he said calmly, “Okay, I’ll go over later.”
Pausing for a moment, Ye Zhan dialed Momo’s number.
She might be busy or maybe didn’t hear it; he waited for a long time, but no one answered the phone.
Ye Zhan had to go inside to find her.
Momo went to the restroom.
She didn’t bring her phone.
She walked out of the restroom and saw Ye Zhan waiting in the hallway, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
“You’re waiting for me here? Did those reporters leave?”
Ye Zhan had just lit a cigarette, saw her coming out, and extinguished it before taking a puff.
“Didn’t bring your phone?”
Momo nodded, “The phone is in the bag, I didn’t bring it. I get off at noon, if you have things to do, go ahead, I’ll have someone pick me up at noon.”
Ye Zhan responded with a “Mm.”
He gently explained, “I need to leave for something, I may not make it back to pick you up at noon, take care of yourself.”
“I know.”
They walked out together, reaching the entrance of the recording studio.
Momo smiled at Ye Zhan and said, “Go ahead and take care of your things, I’m going in.”

Mo Ziye and Qin Qingqing finished breakfast and then received a call from the Presidential Palace.
It was the secretary-general personally calling Mo Ziye, saying the President’s schedule was too full these days and asked if he had time to visit the Presidential Palace.
Mo Ziye agreed to go over.
Just as he hung up the phone, the guards came in to report that the Ye Family had sent someone over.
A hint of surprise swept across Mo Ziye’s face.
The Ye Family?
Although Ye Zhan is the head of the special task force, there’s no reason for the Ye Family to send someone here.
“Brother Ziyi, is the Ye Family coming to show their concern?”
“It’s probably not all about that.”
Mo Ziye shook his head thoughtfully.
Beneath his handsome brows was a hidden wisdom, his voice clear and smooth, “If it’s to show concern for last night’s explosion, Ye Zhan should know about it.”
“Then what else could it be for?”
“Momo.”
Mo Ziye’s mind turned subtly as he voiced his guess.
Qin Qingqing understood quickly after he spoke, but her beautiful face couldn’t hide the surprise, “Brother Ziyi, you mean the words Shi Zhen said to Sister Momo last night may have spread, and the Ye Family’s old master wants to see Sister Momo?”
Mo Ziye affectionately patted her head, almost like stroking a pet.
Qin Qingqing glared at him but did not brush his hand away, instead obediently allowing it.
“Shi Zhen apologized this morning, and now the Ye Family definitely won’t try to match Ye Zhan with Shi Zhen anymore. And the rumors about Ye Zhan and Momo booking a room spread as gossip in the Imperial City overnight.”
The Ye Family only has Ye Zhan as their only successor.
Old Master Ye couldn’t help but be curious at this time.
“Let him in.”
Mo Ziye instructed the guard waiting nearby.
No matter what the Ye Family’s purpose is in coming, they couldn’t just refuse to meet.
In two minutes, the guard led the Ye Family’s old butler into the living room.
Qin Qingqing stood up politely to greet the old butler, and then introduced him to Mo Ziye.
Mo Ziye had met this old butler before.
Due to injury, he did not stand up but greeted the old butler while sitting on the sofa.
Treated with politeness by both of them, the old butler smiled and kindly declined Mo Ziye and Qin Qingqing’s offer to sit down and chat, instead saying respectfully, “Young Master Yi, my family’s old commander heard that you and Miss Qin moved out early last night…”
“Letting Grandpa Ye worry.
Qin Qingqing said with a smile.
The old butler shook his head, “The old commander asked me to invite you over for a simple meal at home tonight. He heard that Young Master Yi’s sister, Miss Mo, is also in the Imperial City, so you can all come together…”
Mo Ziye guessed right.
The Ye Family was indeed coming for Momo.
Although the old butler was skilled in conversation.
But how could Mo Ziye be someone whose intelligence could be concealed with a few words from the old butler?

G City.
Seeing the man waiting outside the security check, Gu Zhitong’s expression slightly changed.
She instinctively wanted to turn back with the crowd coming out but had already been seen by Tang Zhixian, who waved at her with a smile.
If it was just waving, she could ignore it.
But he called out her name loudly from across the crowd, “Tongtong!”
Gu Zhitong rolled her eyes.
Her demeanor collected a bit, pulling her luggage out of the security check, ignoring Tang Zhixian waiting there, and walked straight ahead.
“Tongtong, I came specifically to pick you up.”
Tang Zhixian wore a sharp suit, handsome and elegant.
Even in a place like the airport, he stood out.
With him following closely beside her, talking noisily, Gu Zhitong walked a few meters outward, stopped, and looked at his smiling face coldly, “I don’t need you to pick me up, and please step aside, don’t bother me again.”
A trace of hurt appeared in Tang Zhixian’s eyes.
The smile faded from his handsome face, and a hint of sentiment that made hearts flutter appeared between his brows.
His voice became a shade deeper, as if she was bullying him to Gu Zhitong’s ears.
“Tongtong, you can hit me or scold me, as long as you don’t stay angry, I’ll do anything for you.”
“Really?”
“Except for driving me away.”
Tang Zhixian’s gaze was determined as he looked at Gu Zhitong.
He didn’t dare reach out to pull her, afraid she would get furious.
Gu Zhitong stared at him for several seconds, took a deep breath, and continued walking forward.
Out of the airport, getting into the car, Gu Zhitong turned to see Tang Zhixian sitting in the driver’s seat, “How did you know my flight back?”
Tang Zhixian’s deep black eyes flashed slightly, his handsome face maintaining a gentle smile, “Tongtong, it’s Director Gu who asked me to pick you up.”
“What do you mean?”
Gu Zhitong’s body leaned back in the seat but sat up abruptly.
Her eyes stared sharply at Tang Zhixian’s handsome profile, “You went to see my dad?”
“Tongtong, don’t be angry.”
Tang Zhixian gestured for her to calm down.
He had kept it hidden for days, but now that she was back, he didn’t dare hide it anymore.
Especially with Gu Zhitong being so upset.
Tang Zhixian felt a bit uneasy, reaching out to grab her hand.
But halfway, he paused.
So his hand stayed awkwardly in mid-air, his gaze warm and affectionate, and said softly, “I joined Kangning Hospital, Tongtong, the reason I worked hard to study medicine abroad for these years was to come back one day to find you, and work together with you.”
“…”
Gu Zhitong pursed her lips, the anger in her eyes didn’t fade, and after a moment, squeezed a sentence from between her teeth, “On what grounds?”
