As long as he told his brother to cut out the surveillance footage for this period, he could let his daughter disappear without a trace.
After all, the surveillance footage was there; his subsequent actions would all be recorded.
'Damn it, isn't it just kneeling on a durian? You think I'm afraid of that!?'
Gritting his teeth, Ye Chen took out his phone, ready to call his brother, and waited here for his daughter to come out.
Barring any accidents, Xiao Yunyun should choose to temporarily accept her fate and walk out the front door normally.
As for after going back, his daughter would definitely cause a fuss, be unreasonable, and maybe even start a fight during the blind date or something.
He understood his daughter's personality very well; right now, she probably couldn't be bothered to run.
"Oh? Boss Ye, what a coincidence, you're here for BBQ too?"
Kaito happened to be passing by.
Moreover, this person was Xiao Qi's grandfather, Xiao Yunyun's father.
Considering courtesy and reason, Kaito had to say hello.
Although the impressive act he put on back then didn't work out, the other party's identity was still worth greeting him.
Since he was going to walk past anyway, and since they met face to face, it would be inconsiderate not to say hello.
"Uh... it's you, Mr. Kaito."
Ye Chen was startled for a moment, looking at Kaito who had just walked out of the entrance to greet him, and put down the phone in his hand.
However, he didn't stare much at the two beautiful women behind Kaito, because he deeply understood that they were definitely Kaito's women, or at the very least, very close friends.
Of course, he seemed to recognize the two of them. Although their hair color had changed from purple to black, their temperament hadn't changed. As for the two of them looking alike, maybe they were sisters!
"Hehe, Boss Ye, I'm really sorry about that matter last time."
"It's no problem, coincidentally, I came to see my granddaughter."
This sentence was spoken with great tact, and Kaito appreciated it.
After they shook hands politely, Kaito took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket (the Gate of Babylon), tore open the package, and handed one over.
Although he didn't smoke himself, he still came prepared.
"Oh? This cigarette... I've never seen it before."
"Haha, this is an excellent, very rare foreign cigarette. Give it a try."
Not wanting to refuse Kaito's face and kindness, Ye Chen gracefully accepted the cigarette and lit it. The result was indeed true.
It had a bit of a cigar flavor.
It must be said, this cigarette was top-notch!
This cigarette was specially bought by Irisviel from her side; it was very expensive and produced in very small quantities.
Then Irisviel bought his entire company and brought back dozens of cartons at once.
These cigarettes were all specially supplied, so the quantity was very small.
The reason Irisviel bought cigarettes for Kaito was because Kaito would occasionally have 'one after the event'...
Ahem, ahem!!
Getting off track.
Seeing that Ye Chen was satisfied with the smoke, Kaito smiled and gave the whole pack to Ye Chen.
It was still necessary to build a good relationship; who knows, maybe he might need something from him in the future?
Plus, he was Xiao Yunyun's dad.
Although he had cut ties with the past, how could a man completely sever them?
Especially considering she was his first love.
Furthermore...
Xiao Qi...
Kaito had already guessed something.
When he first met Xiao Qi, he saw several features on her face that resembled his own.
He had just kept it buried in his heart and didn't think much of it.
After all, it's normal for people to have similarities.
"Alright, since you need to go eat, I won't keep you any longer. We're heading back too."
In fact, Kaito should have left this place long ago, but Baal, wanting to get the recipes and such used by that three-star chef, had him find the chef halfway and use hypnosis to extract all the ingredients and seasonings he knew.
Baal had already learned the techniques through observation; all that was left was to practice a few times back home, and she might be able to recreate the flavors they had just tasted.
"Yes, then I won't see you off. If you have the chance, feel free to visit our hotel; I'll personally play host!"
Ye Chen felt both respect and a hint of goodwill towards Kaito. He had no choice but to accept the cigarettes and was also curious about the brand.
As for more than that, he naturally wanted to build a connection with Kaito.
With such a mysterious identity, coupled with Kaito's temperament, etc., if Kaito really was a big shot, then he would stand to gain something.
Connections are built this way.
Friends help friends; you help me, I help you, benefiting everyone.
"Hehe, I will."
Kaito smiled and nodded, agreed, and prepared to leave.
But just then, a little girl suddenly ran up from behind him. Due to Kaito's strong perception, he turned around in an instant and saw the little girl stop abruptly right in front of him.
'Good grief, she even knew how to stop short?'
"I wasn't wrong, it is you!"
Seeing Kaito's face before he had time to put his sunglasses back on, the little girl immediately confirmed excitedly.
From the back, she had guessed most of it at first glance. Now that Kaito had turned around, it was completely confirmed!
The person in front of her was her father, Xiao Qi's father!
Her real dad!!
"Hehe, Xiao Qi, hello, we meet again."
Kaito subconsciously thought that Ye Chen had brought Xiao Qi for BBQ, so he squatted down and stroked her hair.
"Yes, we meet again, Dad!"
"!!!"
His pupils contracted sharply, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then his heart pounded violently.
He couldn't help but use magic power, channeling it from the top of her head into her body to investigate her physical condition...
The answer came out.
"This... my good granddaughter, what nonsense are you talking about?"
On the other side, Ye Chen, in a situation similar to Kaito's, was also startled, then bent down to pick up Xiao Qi.
But his movement was blocked by Kaito's hand. After Kaito looked up at Ye Chen with extreme seriousness, he slowly raised his head to look at a woman who had also run out from the entrance but was now frozen mid-step.
His first love, his first time, his senior.
Xiao Yunyun!
"Is that so... so that's how it was..."
In an instant, Kaito filled in a lot of plot in his mind. After he couldn't help but sigh, cursing the cliché plot in his heart, he put his hand on Xiao Qi's cheek and gently rubbed it.
"Dad... Dad..."
Feeling Kaito rubbing her cheek, the clever Xiao Qi immediately knew that Kaito had recognized her identity. Her big eyes started to well up, and tears were about to fall from the corners of her eyes.
"Yeah... don't cry..."
"I... I won't cry, but Dad, please save Mom!"
