90: Chapter 90 Infiltrating the Feng Family
Around 11 o'clock, Ye Mo, Liao Qing, and Zhao Lingshan rode together in a car toward the Zhao Family.
Just after leaving Zhonghe Building, Ye Mo noticed quite a few young men and women holding signs at the building's entrance.
They were likely Zhao Lingshan's fans.
Normally, Zhao Lingshan might have gotten out of the car to greet them, but given the extraordinary circumstances, she didn't even roll down the car window.
"It seems Young Miss Zhao is quite popular, isn't she?"
Ye Mo, sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head to look at Zhao Lingshan, who was sitting in the back row.
"What's the use of being popular? In the eyes of people like you, we are nothing more than actors."
Zhao Lingshan was also a Martial Artist, but her talent was not high; she was only at the Yellow Grade.
The reason she entered the entertainment industry was entirely due to her love for acting and singing.
"Young Miss Zhao, do not belittle yourself. You are a top-tier celebrity now, and Tianyu Entertainment, where you work, is a property of your Zhao Family. Who would truly treat you as just an actor?"
Ye Mo did a quick search on Zhao Lingshan.
He didn't know if it was because of Zhao Lingshan, but the Zhao Family did have some fame in the entertainment industry.
Although Tianyu Entertainment couldn't be considered much on a national level, it was definitely one of the best in Zhejiang Province.
The reason Ye Mo suddenly paid attention to Zhao Lingshan was because it had become very difficult to find female streamers with a Spiritual Root while scrolling through live streams; either their Spiritual Root was too poor, or they weren't good-looking.
He had originally planned to scroll through actresses.
But after thinking about it, even if he found one, it would likely be quite troublesome to make contact.
Later, he thought, if he had his own entertainment company, wouldn't it be much simpler?
With this idea in mind, Ye Mo sent a message to Cheng Ying to discuss the next step of the plan.
Cheng Ying replied very quickly.
"Husband, you can tell if someone has a Spiritual Root just by watching a video, right? I actually have a method to quickly collect more Purple Spirit Roots."
Ye Mo had indeed told Cheng Ying that he could determine the quality of a Spiritual Root through video.
"What method?" Ye Mo asked curiously.
"Where do you think women gather the most?"
Cheng Ying asked back, but before Ye Mo could answer, she continued, "Places with many young women must be universities, and those with high beauty standards should be the major drama and art colleges. We can hire people to record videos of them and then screen them one by one."
"Hmm, that's a good method." This way, it would indeed be worry-free and effortless.
"It was also something I suddenly thought of when you mentioned the entertainment company. As long as we find people with a Spiritual Root, we can then approach them in the name of the company recruiting actors or singers; that way, making contact will be much easier."
"Not bad, it's a good plan."
Ye Mo's train of thought also opened up.
Anyway, he wasn't short on money right now.
Not just universities; as long as they were good-looking women, he could hire people to film videos.
Then, he could approach them in the capacity of a talent scout.
With so many people in the country, Ye Mo didn't believe he couldn't gather a few dozen Purple Spirit Roots.
Arriving at the Zhao Family, it was almost 12 o'clock.
Ye Mo said goodbye to Liao Qing. Liao Qing wanted to have someone take Ye Mo back, but Ye Mo said he had already arranged for someone to pick him up.
Leaving the Zhao Family, Ye Mo cast an invisibility talisman on himself.
Afterward, he walked toward the Feng Family.
The Feng Family lived on the mountainside of Kowloon Mountain, where there was only one villa.
Arriving outside the villa, Ye Mo expanded his Divine Sense and discovered that Patriarch Feng Zhonghe had already returned.
He then leaped and entered the courtyard.
Regardless of whether it was inside or outside the courtyard, none of the surveillance or alarm equipment reacted at all.
Walking into the lobby, Ye Mo went straight to the second floor.
He then found a chair and sat down.
Meanwhile, Patriarch Feng Zhonghe was in the study, sitting on a chair, resting with his eyes closed.
About ten minutes later, a sound of footsteps came from downstairs.
The person who arrived was Feng Mingwen.
He knocked on the study door.
"Dad, Ye Mo has disappeared." Feng Mingwen walked into the study, his expression slightly gloomy.
"What happened?" Patriarch Feng Zhonghe opened his eyes, his eyebrows twitching slightly.
"After Ye Mo left the Zhao Family, he suddenly entered the forest and never came out. I sent people to search the mountain, but they didn't find any traces."
Feng Mingwen's expression was quite ugly; he hadn't expected Ye Mo to disappear right under his nose.
In fact, Ye Mo had discovered them long ago.
At the Qi Refining Late-Stage, Divine Sense can extend 500 meters, and since Ye Mo's was twice that, his current Divine Sense could extend deep into the mountain.
Just after leaving Zhonghe Building, Ye Mo had discovered that Feng Mingwen was following him.
"He might have discovered you all. Forget it. Tomorrow, go find Director Song Bowen. As a member of the Ninth Bureau, if Ye Mo really knows something, he shouldn't be intentionally hiding it."
Patriarch Feng Zhonghe thought that if Ye Mo really knew the use of the baoyuan herb, he would definitely come looking for him again.
"Okay."
Feng Mingwen nodded and then prepared to leave the study.
"Wait, ask Lin Fan to come over," Patriarch Feng Zhonghe suddenly said.
"Lin Fan went to deliver food," Feng Mingwen said with a wry smile.
"It's already past 12 o'clock, and he's still delivering food? That girl, Feng Yuyan, is becoming more and more outrageous. You aren't managing her well!"
Patriarch Feng Zhonghe immediately said angrily.
"Dad, you know that Feng Yuyan doesn't look up to Lin Fan at all. This marriage was forced by us in the first place, and since Lin Fan refuses to reveal his identity, it's hard for me to say anything."
"Forget it, forget it. Have Lin Fan come see me tomorrow morning."
Ye Mo, in the living room, heard the conversation in the study clearly.
Although he didn't hear how the Feng Family obtained the Spiritual Plant.
But there was one thing Ye Mo could be certain of: the Feng Family still had the seven-star leaf.
However, Ye Mo expanded his Divine Sense, and he didn't find any Spiritual Plant in the entire Feng Family.
There was another point; from the conversation between the Feng Family father and son, it seemed the Feng Family's live-in son-in-law had an identity that wasn't simple.
Of course, Ye Mo didn't care about that.
After Feng Mingwen left, it wasn't long before Patriarch Feng Zhonghe also left the study and returned to his bedroom to sit and Cultivate.
For the next full hour, there was no movement in the Feng Family.
The four Innate experts were always around the villa.
Feng Mingzhi and Feng Mingwen were also Cultivating.
As for the several young masters of the third generation of the Feng Family, Ye Mo didn't see a single one.
"I probably won't hear anything now."
Ye Mo pondered for a moment.
He didn't intend to leave.
What Ye Mo needed to do now was just to know where the Feng Family kept the Spiritual Plant, and when the time came, he would just take it.
Anyway, he could be invisible, so no one would know it was him.
Thinking of this, Ye Mo secretly headed to the third floor.
The entire third floor had six or seven rooms, which were likely the rooms where the third generation of the Feng Family lived, but there was no one there right now.
Ye Mo casually found a room and then began to sit and Cultivate.
However, not long after Ye Mo entered meditation, the room door was suddenly opened.
Ye Mo immediately opened his eyes and discovered Feng Yuyan walking in, barefoot.
She then lay on the bed and started scrolling on her phone.
Ye Mo ignored her and continued to Cultivate.
