Jiu Tang City was the biggest city in He Dong Province. Ye Mo went there after sending Su Jingwen and Tang Beiwei away, having promised to help Yi Jiuhe. Although busy, he genuinely approved of Yi Jiuhe’s character. Many were wealthy, but few were generous. Yi Jiuhe, when buying his necklace, hadn't known its true value. He bought it for his daughter and to help Ye Mo.

Regarding Beijing, Ye Mo called Han Zaixin, learning it concerned the Space Flower blueprint. He immediately lost interest, refusing Han Zaixin’s persuasion before hanging up. Ye Mo, unsure of Yi Jiuhe’s home, asked about Jiuhe Corporation. It was easily found, being the region’s largest corporation. However, someone told him, “It’s their third court hearing about the will case. You won’t find anyone responsible at Jiuhe Corporation right now.”

“What will case?” Ye Mo asked.

“Brother, you must be a foreigner. Everyone knows about the Jiuhe Corporation will case. The owner, Yi Jiuhe, disappeared, then his remains were found. His fortune is causing conflict. The third hearing is today.”

Ye Mo asked, surprised, “He only had his wife and daughters. How could they fight?”

“Yes, but he also had two brothers, and his father is still alive. The will is… unusual in how it divides the fortune. That’s all I heard.” The person left.

Ye Mo analyzed the situation. Yi Jiuhe seemed to have anticipated this but died before resolving it. His death was strange. How could two robbers kill him? Ye Mo stopped at the courthouse steps, suddenly thinking of something. The robbers from the previous night must have been skilled to kill Yi Jiuhe, yet let Wei Yongqian escape? They wouldn't have let a wealthy man like Wei Yongqian out of their sight. How could they make such a mistake? The temple was old; how did they know Wei Yongqian would stay there?

They must have had a lookout. Seeing Wei Yongqian leave the mountain at night, they went up. But how did Wei Yongqian and the nun escape? Something was wrong. The couple, preoccupied with sex, didn’t consider Wei Yongqian’s escape. Ye Mo knew that to leave, they’d have used a small path. He hadn’t found any signs of the formation last night. He had to go back; it involved the golden page.

No longer wanting to go to court, Ye Mo decided to find the nun and the golden page himself. He could ask for help with Yi Jiuhe’s case later. As Ye Mo was leaving, the door opened. He saw Yi Jiuhe’s two daughters helping a stressed middle-aged woman. Two middle-aged men were with them; one looked like Yi Jiuhe’s wife, and the other wore glasses. He decided to greet them.

“You sold us the magic artifact!” the older daughter exclaimed.

Ye Mo smiled. “Yes, I am. I’m also your father’s friend, Ye Mo. I’m passing through.”

“My dad’s gone,” the girl said, her eyes reddening.

Ye Mo nodded. “I heard. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this.”

“You talk big,” the man with glasses sneered.

Ye Mo sneered back. Even if he couldn't handle it, that tone was unnecessary.

“Yanyan, he’s—” the woman looked at Ye Mo, confused.

“Mom, remember Dad, Big Sister, and I at Luo Cang’s auction? He sold us the necklace,” the other girl said. Ye Mo noticed the woman’s necklace, realizing Yi Jiuhe was a family man.

“Hello, Jiuhe’s—” the woman started.

“Sister-in-law, you want the Yi family fortune to go to the Lu family? I promised you and your daughters would live without worries, yet you took us to court! Do you think Jiuhe didn’t know his own surname?!” A middle-aged man approached, with a judge.

“You’re shameless!” Yanyan said angrily.

The middle-aged man sneered. “Respect your elders. Without Jiuhe, I’d have kicked you out. How dare you take the fortune? Bastards.”

“Sister, don’t bother,” the younger daughter said, pulling Yanyan away.

“Was Jiuhe’s fortune taken from you?” Ye Mo frowned. The case seemed near closing.

Yi Jiuhe’s wife sighed. The middle-aged man said, “Although the results aren’t announced, they’re decided. Xiao Die and Yanyan get nothing.”

“Jiuhe left a will. Do you know about it?” Ye Mo asked, angry that Yi Jiuhe’s wife and daughters got nothing.

“Uncle Junshan also died last week. The will… ” Xiao Die looked around, hesitant to say it was fake.

“This is fishy,” Ye Mo said, shaking his head. This wouldn’t happen in Luo Yue.

“Who are you? Leave!” The middle-aged man glared at Yanyan.

Yi Jiuhe’s wife stopped Ye Mo. “Since you’re Jiuhe’s friend, we can talk on the way to my house.”

“Hmph—disloyal woman,” the man cursed.

Ye Mo, fed up, kicked the man onto the concrete stairs, causing his head to bleed. Everyone was shocked. A man said, “Great Judge Chen, Lu Lin had someone brutally attack people in court,” rushing to help the injured man.

Xiao Die quickly approached Ye Mo. “Brother Ye, leave! You’ll go to jail. That man is my second uncle, Yi Zhu, and the judge is on his side. Dad’s will is fake, but they say it’s real.”
