The very night Su Li had her incident, Ye Xilan and Mother Ge both happened to have incidents of their own, as did the rest of the Ge family.
Both Ye Xilan and Mother Ge had gone out that evening.
Ye Xilan went to meet Ye Jian and get an update on the matter he was handling.
Mother Ge had some things to arrange—nothing good—and both women made sure to avoid being seen.
And that's when things went wrong.
Around the same time, one after the other, both women were attacked.
Their assailants weren't exactly strangers. Mother Ge was attacked by the very person she had hired, while Ye Xilan was attacked by one of the vagrants Ye Jian had found.
The two women, both accustomed to a life of comfort, were dragged away without a struggle—one into a dark alley, the other into a pitch-black room.
When they came to, one was in a foul-smelling alley, the other in a dark room.
They were both rescued quickly, and ultimately, no serious harm was done.
