Not only Helian Yi was concerned about Helian Yue's whereabouts, but Ye Tiancheng was as well.
As a series of events unfolded, Ye Tiancheng simultaneously pondered why these things were happening, what the underlying connections were, what the ultimate goals of the people behind the scenes were, and what results they originally intended to achieve.
One thing could be confirmed: at least, the current outcome was definitely not what any party desired.
Moreover, Ye Tiancheng was very sure that there must be more than one party involved behind the scenes, and that multiple groups acting simultaneously, and coincidentally colliding, had led to the current farcical outcome.
Therefore, these intertwined threads had to be untangled and straightened out to follow the clues and understand all the causes and consequences.
Since the clues, events, involved individuals, and outcomes were already quite clear, it was not so difficult to work backward. Furthermore, most of them were familiar faces with whom he had a vested interest, making it even easier to analyze and arrive at the final answer.
For Ye Tiancheng, guessing most of the facts was not a difficult task at all.
Ye Tiancheng quickly figured out most of the situation, deducing about seventy to eighty percent of the facts.
He believed there wouldn't be much deviation.
Firstly, Mo Huaifeng's storyline was very obvious. His objective was too clear, making it quite simple for Ye Tiancheng to deduce Mo Huaifeng's calculations and intentions.
After all, the entanglements and conflicts between them were also very apparent, and Ye Tiancheng had only had one confrontation with him before this.
The only point of conflict between the two of them was Helian Yue.
Ye Tiancheng knew perfectly well what Mo Huaifeng's intentions were towards Helian Yue, even though he had only encountered Mo Huaifeng once. After all, Mo Huaifeng had not concealed anything and had even threatened Ye Tiancheng in person.
As for what had just happened, Mo Huaifeng's objective was clearly to force a fait accompli with someone. It wasn't necessarily about consummating the relationship, but the most important thing was to publicize the matter widely.
The purpose of doing so was singular: coercion. Once such a fact became known to everyone, the outcome would be limited to only one.
The person who was forced to have a "relationship" with Mo Huaifeng would most likely be bound to Mo Huaifeng. The probability of deviation was less than ten percent.
Therefore, this one target would definitely not be male; it would absolutely be female.
And if the target was identified as female, and it was someone Mo Huaifeng would have ideas about, want to do this to, and whose value was worth Mo Huaifeng taking such a risk and doing such a thing, then there was only one person left, and that was still Helian Yue.
So, the facts became very clear and understandable.
The banquet held this time was the best opportunity in recent times. It was a very large-scale event, not only attended by members of the Helian family but also by many other prominent families invited by the Helian family.
It wasn't just the Helian family members. Once the incident occurred and spread, it would completely prevent the Helian family from sealing their lips and killing the matter in its infancy.
It also reduced the probability of Mo Huaifeng's plan failing.
The method was quite cliché, but it was clearly a very effective tactic. Mo Huaifeng, through some means, found out the room where Helian Yue would be resting, and then gathered a large group of people to be the ones to break into the scene.
Then Mo Huaifeng himself went to the room. Since he entered the room in the dark, he might have been hesitant to disturb the person in the room, and did not confirm too much. Moreover, he might have been too confident in the results of his investigation, leading Mo Huaifeng to mistakenly identify the person in the bed as Ye Tiancheng, thinking it was Helian Yue.
So he immediately began to set up the scene, climbing onto the bed, and undressing himself, only to be caught red-handed by Ye Tiancheng.
It was truly miserable, and the plan was truly simple. He was the most obvious among these clues and the easiest to eliminate as a distractor.
At the very least, Ye Tiancheng could be sure that his guess about Mo Huaifeng's storyline was at least ninety percent accurate, if not one hundred percent.
This person's mind was very simple. The fact that he dared to block Ye Tiancheng and Helian Yue's path at the time, and provoke him in front of Helian Yue, showed that his mind was not very sharp. He couldn't come up with many complex plans. To achieve this much was already very meticulous planning.
Mo Huaifeng's storyline was clear, so let's continue.
Why did Mo Huaifeng get the room wrong? The problem must lie with the person who provided him with Helian Yue's room location.
There were two possibilities. The first was that the other party also did not know they had gotten the room wrong, and it was due to an accidental outcome that this situation occurred. The second possibility was that the other party did it intentionally, in which case the purpose would be very strange.
Regarding this clue, it was still quite vague. Ye Tiancheng pondered for a moment and temporarily put aside this question. Perhaps by deducing more from other aspects, he might be able to figure out the situation.
Ye Tiancheng began to wonder why Helian Yi appeared at the scene.
This question was obviously very important. One point that had to be confirmed was that Ye Tiancheng felt Mo Huaifeng couldn't be so foolish as to include Helian Yi among the group of people he had lured to catch the scene and catch them in the act.
Helian Yi was not only Helian Yue's father but also the head of the Helian family.
If Helian Yi was present at the moment the matter was exposed, things would become uncontrollable. Moreover, Helian Yi might truly be able to suppress the entire matter with his status and achieve a cover-up.
After all, even if outsiders were present, how many could compare to Helian Yi in terms of high position and authority? Not to mention that Helian Yi was the host. In such a situation, if Helian Yi spoke, who would dare not give him face? They would all wish they were blind and knew nothing.
In fact, the current outcome was similar. Although there was a mistake in the process, and one of the protagonists became Ye Tiancheng, such a matter was still difficult to publicize.
Helian Yi's timely appearance at the scene also served to control the situation, and he would certainly do his best to keep it quiet, not easily leaking any details, as it would not be good for the Helian family.
Although Ye Tiancheng himself believed that Helian Yi's timely appearance and his ability to handle some of these matters was a good thing, Ye Tiancheng still felt that Helian Yi's appearance was too coincidental, and the timing was too coincidental.
After all, while true coincidences exist in this world, there aren't so many coincidences. Helian Yi's appearance at that time must have had his own purpose.
Therefore, judging from his actions, it strongly suggested that he had the same purpose as the group brought by Mo Huaifeng, which was to break into something.
Analyzing the relationship between Ye Tiancheng and the Helian family, the possibility of malicious framing was lower. The Helian family's crisis should not be fake. Facing the impending guillotine, the probability of the Helian family completely offending Ye Tiancheng at such a critical juncture was too low.
Not to mention that the leader was Helian Yi.
If it were someone else from the Helian family, Ye Tiancheng would consider the possibility of malicious scheming and speculate from that angle. However, if the target became Helian Yi or Helian Sheng, Ye Tiancheng could basically deduce it and wouldn't need to think so complicatedly.
In this case, if it couldn't be called a bad thing, at least in Helian Yi's eyes, he wouldn't completely offend Ye Tiancheng. Although Ye Tiancheng himself might not necessarily accept it.
After all, Helian Yi didn't know much about Ye Tiancheng, and Ye Tiancheng was aware of this, so he wouldn't make judgments based on his own psychological expectations.
If this were the case, judging solely from his outward actions, Helian Yi's appearance at the scene, leading a large group of people, was very strange. Helian Yi definitely had ulterior motives.
Firstly, Helian Yi offered a simple explanation to Ye Tiancheng: he appeared because he was leading guests who were staying overnight to settle them, and happened to pass by his room and saw a group of people breaking into his room, so he followed them in.
Ye Tiancheng believed that, judging from the surface, this statement, at least for the events that occurred at the time, should be no different from this description if viewed purely objectively.
However, Ye Tiancheng did not believe Helian Yi's claim that he was leading them by chance. The possibility of Helian Yi colliding with the people arranged by Mo Huaifeng was even higher. Because, firstly, Helian Yi's claim that he personally led guests to settle them was problematic in itself.
If Helian Yi were not the head of the Helian family, or if the Helian family were not such a behemoth, Ye Tiancheng might have believed such nonsense. But now, Ye Tiancheng could not believe his statement at all.
Ye Tiancheng had basically seen the identities of those people who crowded into his room. Given their status, to say that they were worthy of the head of the Helian family personally arranging, entertaining, and settling them, even escorting them throughout, was a joke. Ye Tiancheng was not a fool and knew nothing.
Even if he wasn't born into a wealthy family, his wife was from one.
For the same matter, even Hou Mingzhu wouldn't do that, let alone Helian Yi. Hou Mingzhu was at least an heir before, while Helian Yi was the head of the Helian family. If even he needed to do this, then the vast Helian family would be a huge joke.
Therefore, analyzing this matter, Helian Yi truly became completely suspicious.
He didn't need to do this, yet he did. The reason Ye Tiancheng could think of was nothing more than that Helian Yi did it intentionally. He did this simply to find an excuse to appear at the scene, blur his intentions, and rationalize his actions.
However, perhaps for some reason, when doing this, Helian Yi was not too cautious in his planning and thinking. Otherwise, Ye Tiancheng did not believe that with Helian Yi's status, he would not have seen through such a lie. It was simply a case of trying to cover up but revealing more.
On the surface, a reasonable excuse was found, but in reality, it was a huge flaw.
So why did Helian Yi do this, and why did he happen to be here?
Although it was not ruled out that Helian Yi might have had another target, Ye Tiancheng believed that the probability of Helian Yi's original target being him was much higher.
It was at this moment that Ye Tiancheng suddenly connected Helian Yi's purpose in appearing in his room with the mistake made by Mo Huaifeng.
Why did Mo Huaifeng get the room wrong and think the person in the room would be Helian Yue? Then, in Helian Yi's eyes, who was supposed to be in this room?
Ye Tiancheng only had to think for a moment, and at least one point he could confirm without much effort was that in everyone's reaction to what had just happened, it was focused on the farcical incident. Helian Yi did not seem surprised by his own appearance in the room, but he was surprised by Mo Huaifeng's appearance in the room.
Therefore, through this point, it was easy to judge that in Helian Yi's perception, his presence in the room was normal, and there was no doubt about it.
