Book 3 Chapter 41 – Coincidence

　　"Please wait for a short while. Master Ye is still conducting his physical exam. You know how important their thoroughness is for someone who has just recovered from cancer." The butler at the Ye Mansion brought tea to the three visitors and stood on the side quietly, just in case he would be needed. The three visitors comprised of an old man, who was dressed elegantly in traditional garments and a young couple who had nearly flawless appearances.

　　These three were deputy director Ye's guests. They claimed that they had precious artifacts and required deputy director Ye's expertise to identify them, a request which was taken very seriously after pictures of these artifacts were sent. On top of that, the butler, who had worked for his master for so long, knew from the air of the three visitors that they were not to be trifled with.

　　"It's okay. We'll wait. Mister Ye's health is certainly more important." The old man, who led the group, answered courteously.

　　Beep beep…

　　The butler's phone rang. He apologized to his visitors and walked to the side.

　　"What? Friends from the antique market district? Are you sure?" It was a call from the security guard at the entrance to the neighborhood.

　　"The antique market?" The butler was shocked. He knew about his master's extraordinary purchase of the jade bracelet at the antique market district. Deputy director Ye had been talking about it ever since he had recovered from his cancer and always talked about the two young people who sold him the object with praise.

　　"Tell them to stay where they are. I'll come out to welcome them myself." The butler was overjoyed when he received the confirmation from the security guard. "I'm sorry, sir, but there's an important guest. I'll have to leave for a moment." The butler left the mansion after a simple explanation.

　　"Important guest?" The old man squinted and seemed irritated.

　　"Well, I didn't see anyone come to greet us when we arrived." The young woman commented angrily.

　　"We shouldn't care about strangers. We should focus on what we came here for. There's no point in risking a complication when we're in an already difficult situation."

　　"If it weren't for the rules, I would have sucked all of them dry instead of wasting time." The woman said with a dissatisfied frown.

　　"Wu Hao is right, we shouldn't be risking it." The old man recovered his relaxed countenance, swallowing down both his pride and vexation.

　　"Wait!" The old man, who had just begun to smile again, suddenly raised his head and looked at the gate with alertness.

　　"What is it?" The young couple noticed his sudden nervousness.

　　The old man did not answer his two friends. Instead, he kept staring at the entrance to the living room, expecting a terrible enemy to come in.

　　"Please, come inside. We're very happy to receive you as our guests. Master Ye has been talking about you over and over again these past few days," the butler's loud laughter could be heard coming from the entrance.

　　Before the young couple could ask again, the butler arrived with two young people, who not only looked as handsome as they did, but also possessed that air of grandeur.

　　"It's him?" The three who were seated in the living room jumped up like a cat who just had its tail stomped on. They were at a complete loss for what to do.

　　"Why are they here?" Li Yiming curious; he met these three back in the park when he saved the Fang sisters. It was the old man who could use his focus radar technique and the vampire couple.

　　"You…" The butler hesitated. 'These three people are in the main seats for guests, but these two are clearly more important to Master Ye. Should I ask them to swap seats? I can't do that.'

　　"It's okay, we know each other." Li Yiming saw the panic on the three guardians' face and knew what they were thinking. He smiled at the butler and sat down right beside them with Liu Meng.

　　"Sit down, come on. Why are you standing?" Li Yiming asked them calmly.

　　"Yes." The three nodded and sat down at once with movements cleaner than soldiers in a politics course.

　　"It'll take a while for Mr. Ye, I presume?" Li Yiming did not mind the three in front of him, who were trembling with fear, and asked the butler with a smile.
