Chapter 147 - 147 147 Ye Jinyu is Your Aunt

?Chapter 147: Chapter 147 Ye Jinyu is Your Aunt Chapter 147: Chapter 147 Ye Jinyu is Your Aunt “Boss, the person extorting you is in the country, in City A, while the one collecting the money is abroad. The final account where the money ended up belongs to a person named Pang Yong, who is Chinese. I found he had a record of returning to the country last year, but no criminal record,”
Pang Yong?

A completely unfamiliar name—Ye Chuyi was certain she had never heard it before.

She furrowed her brow, “Is this just a common fraud? Why do I feel like the method used in this fraud is different from other cases I’ve heard of?”

“Boss, this isn’t ordinary fraud, it’s extortion specifically targeting you. The usual tactics of fraud aren’t like this, you must have been marked by someone.”

“Keep investigating, don’t overlook any clues.”

“Yes, Boss. However, Boss, you shouldn’t transfer any more money to them. Try to talk to them more to fish for some information. Also, it would be best if you could make a phone call to them. That way, I can directly lock onto their location.”

“Do you think the scammer is an idiot? They don’t answer anything I ask, and they even turned off their phone today. I can’t get through at all.”

Ye Chuyi said irritably, “What am I keeping you and your team for if I get scammed and you can’t help at all, yet tell me to contact the scammer myself? You’re not getting a bonus this month!”

Ivy shivered and quickly replied, “Don’t worry, Boss. I’m definitely going to find this scammer!”

Indeed, I shouldn’t talk too much. Every time I do, my bonus just flies away!

Ye Chuyi hung up the phone without saying anything more.

She still believed in Ivy’s ability. If he couldn’t find the person, then she wouldn’t be able to find them either.

Finding the person was just a matter of time, so she decided to give Ivy a little more time.

A day quickly passed, and in the evening, Ye Chuyi didn’t get a call from Ivy but received a call from Sheng Tingyuan instead.

His voice was low and his tone was flat, “It’s a maid.”

Ye Chuyi was perplexed, “What maid?”

“The one who sent you a message last night and scammed you out of five million, it’s a maid.”

Ye Chuyi’s heart skipped a beat, “How did you know?”

“I’ve already found out.”

Ye Chuyi could barely conceal her shock. Ivy hadn’t found out yet, but Sheng Tingyuan had?

“How did you find out?”

Sheng Tingyuan, however, didn’t explain how he had found out, simply telling her, “The maid’s name is Tian Qiugui.”

“Tian Qiugui? Why does that name sound familiar?”

“You probably have heard of her before. This maid has been working at the Wen Family all along, and Lady Wen, your aunt, is Ye Jinyu.”

“What?!”

“Why are you so surprised? Didn’t you know that Ye Jinyu is your aunt?”

“I… I know.”

Ye Chuyi didn’t know.

But as a “daughter” of the Ye Family, she couldn’t afford to admit ignorance of such a fact.

She was still reeling from the barrage of information and mechanically said, “I’m just shocked that a maid from my aunt’s house would extort me.”

Indeed, Lady Wen did bear some resemblance to Ye Zhengrong, and she had the surname Ye, even her name followed the same pattern as the Ye family brothers.

Ye Canghai, Ye Zhengrong, Ye Jinyu.

However, she had never heard Lady Wen mention her maiden home, nor did Lady Wen often visit there. At least, in Ye Chuyi’s memory, Lady Wen had never returned to her maiden home, and her family from there had never visited the Wen Family residence.

Lin Yueqin, who had been working at the Wen Family for many years, also had no idea who Lady Wen’s family was.

Hence, Ye Chuyi had never imagined that Lady Wen could be Ye Zhengrong’s sister.

Although the news was shocking, it wasn’t the main issue.

The crux of the matter was that she’d finally realized who Tian Qiugui was—the very person who had been extorting her was none other than Tian Mama!

How could it be?

Why would it be her?

In her memory, Tian Mama was timid and hardly dared to speak out loud. She was always extremely polite and eager to please everyone; she didn’t resort to deception or sly tricks, focusing merely on her work.

Even Lin Yueqin, who was so demanding, had once praised Tian Mama for being diligent and honest, someone dependable.
