Forbidden Fruit [Complete] - 6

Chapter Seventy-One: Security Advisor

Ye Tianya nodded, knowing that Elder Han wanted to talk to him about the Shadow. He then followed Elder Han into his room.

Once inside, Elder Han got straight to the point: "I'm here for only one thing... take a look at this." He handed Ye Tianya a green notebook, which Ye Tianya saw was an appointment letter, appointing him as a security advisor to the State Council, and bearing the State Council's seal.

"This is something we old men have discussed. In light of your past contributions, we've decided to appoint you as a State Council security advisor. Please consider it."

Without hesitation, Ye Tianya returned the letter of appointment to Old Han, saying, "Old Han, thank you for your kindness, but I'm used to being unrestrained and don't want any official position or any constraints. So, I'd rather not be an advisor. However, I will certainly not stand idly by when the country needs me."

Old Han was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "If you don't want an official position, why are you participating in the training? Those who participate in the training must serve the country. That's the rule. Otherwise, we wouldn't have sent you to risk your lives."

This time, Ye Tianya was stunned. He thought about it and realized it made sense. If he didn't serve the country, the country probably wouldn't have sent him to fight soldiers with real guns and ammunition, risking the lives of several soldiers on the battlefield. That was clearly unreasonable. Seeing Ye Tianya's stunned expression, Old Han was secretly pleased and seized the opportunity to say, "This advisory position doesn't necessarily require you to work every day like others, or accept any missions. As long as they can find you in crucial moments, you won't be bound by these restrictions in your daily life. You'll essentially be a free person. If you don't accept this offer, the General Staff might arrange another job for you after graduation, and then you might not even have that freedom."

Ye Tianya thought about it. If he didn't accept this nominal advisory position now, he would definitely have to enter a higher-level department after graduation in four years. He thought about how dozens of soldiers had already been used by his five men for shooting practice. Although five of them were just driven by momentary greed, hoping to use the Flying Dragon Squadron as a stepping stone to success, the other thirty-five were simply trying to please their superiors, thinking they couldn't lose with a forty-to-five advantage, which led them to their deaths in the jungle. Although greed caused their deaths, he had still ended their lives. It wouldn't be right for him to refuse.

Ye Tianya asked, puzzled, "So, this advisory position is just a nominal one? Why does Elder Han insist that I accept it?"

Elder Han's expression changed slightly, and he sighed, "To be honest, more than ten years ago, there was also a computer genius. Of course, he might not be as good as you, but at that time, he was truly a genius. Like you, he turned the tide at a critical moment and saved the country. Due to a leak and our inadequate protection, he was assassinated by foreign agents. So, this position is also so that we can legitimately protect you and those around you during this critical period. Otherwise, it wouldn't be right for us to send a large number of people to protect an ordinary person, would it?"

Ye Tianya felt a chill in his heart, thinking of the despicable nature of the Japanese. If they knew that he was the one who had caused chaos in their country last time, they probably would have really sent a large number of agents to target him.

"Alright!" Ye Tianya took the letter of appointment again, sighed, signed his name, and handed it to Elder Han.

Old Han was secretly pleased, but Ye Tianya's words made him tremble: "Old Han, there's something I don't know if you'll be angry if I say it, but I still have to say it. If anyone leaks this secret and allows the Japanese to threaten my safety and the safety of those around me, I don't care who leaked it, I will make sure they die a horrible death."

Old Han was stunned by Ye Tianya's cold words, and his heart felt cold. He couldn't understand why this young boy could make someone as experienced as him tremble. But he still assured him, "Don't worry, we'll do our best to keep it confidential."

Ye Tianya remained noncommittal. Old Han continued, "For safety's sake, and also to be able to find you quickly in crucial moments, I plan to send someone to your side, as your assistant. He might be able to help you with things you can't do personally. Do you have any objections?"

Ye Tianya asked, "Is it absolutely necessary?"

"Yes, for your safety. Like this time when you participated in the training camp, if we hadn't needed to find you later, we probably wouldn't have known. If someone had infiltrated your camp during your training, we really wouldn't have been able to find you. But don't worry, he won't interfere with anything you do," Old Han said.

"Is it that young man outside just now?" Ye Tianya asked again.

Old Han smiled and said, "Yes, he's Old Long's prized student, unmatched in the Security Bureau, a renowned sharpshooter."

Ye Tianya had no choice but to nod, knowing that Old Han meant he absolutely had to arrange such a person for him. Old Han happily put away the appointment letter and smiled, "Your certificate should be ready by the end of your graduation ceremony tomorrow. If there's nothing else, we'll be going now."

Ye Tianya stood up and went with Old Han. The four women outside looked at Ye Tianya and Old Han curiously. Old Han offered a few words of comfort and encouragement to the four, then left with Old Long. Xu Keming also followed them out, without staying.

After the three had left, Ye Tianya looked at Nangong Qian'er, who still looked aggrieved, and said softly, "Qian'er, is it my fault?"

Nangong Qian'er pouted and ignored Ye Tianya, turning her face to the side. Ye Tianya walked over and sat down next to her, saying, "It's not that I don't want to tell Old Han, but what good would it do? Would it cause Old Han to fall out with the Fang family for you? That could affect Old Han's position and power at the higher levels. Do you want to see Old Han have another enemy? Even if Old Han finds out, at most it'll just mean that Military Commission Fang will discipline his grandson. Does Military Commission Fang expect Old Han to kill his grandson? That kind of half-hearted punishment isn't what we want to see. Besides, we should handle our own affairs. The Flying Dragon Team isn't about connections."

Ye Tianya's words finally made Nangong Qian'er turn around, looking at Ye Tianya with a faint smile, and said, "But... but you were so fierce just now... "

Ye Tianya said apologetically, "I'm sorry..."

"I...you scared me just now, I want you to make it up to me...make it up to me..." Nangong Qian'er's eyes reddened as she threw herself into Ye Tianya's arms, raising her small fists and crying as she hit him. Ye Tianya quickly and gently supported her, letting her vent her anger. The three girls beside them looked at each other, then at Nangong Qian'er with strange expressions, before looking at Ye Tianya again. Finally, they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

After venting for a while, Nangong Qian'er nestled in Ye Tianya's arms and sobbed softly, "You promise, you won't be mean to me anymore."

Nangong Qian'er's purity always gave Ye Tianya the illusion that she was like a starry night. Of the four girls, Ye Tianya had a strange feeling about Nangong Qian'er. He couldn't tell if it was because they used to talk about everything online or because her temperament was somewhat like a starry night.

"Okay, I promise, I won't be mean to you anymore. Alright, sit down, the general might be coming back soon," Ye Tianya said gently.

"You said it yourself, Ruyan, Piaoxue, and Xin'er, you're my witnesses," Nangong Qian'er said, raising her head with tears streaming down her face. She looked at the three women. The three women looked very uncomfortable. Nangong Qian'er's shout made Murong Piaoxue the first to speak, "You're not allowed to yell at us either, Captain, don't be biased!"

Ye Tianya was sweating profusely. What kind of reason was that? He had never yelled at the other three before. However, Ye Tianya could only nod at this point. Sima Ruyan finally spoke, "You said it yourself, the four of us are witnesses to each other."

Ye Tianya truly felt incredibly unlucky today. First, Elder Han pressured him, and then the four women put a tight rein on him. However, Ye Tianya still managed to get a small reward, saying, "But you also have to promise me that you can't tell anyone else about my little bit of martial arts."

Ouyang Xin'er said, "Who counts as an outsider? Are we outsiders or insiders?" When Ouyang Xin'er said the word "insiders," she realized she shouldn't have said it, and her face flushed with embarrassment. The other three women also blushed and scolded playfully, "Xin'er—"

Ye Tianya's face flushed with embarrassment. How could he answer? If it weren't for what happened in the jungle, Ye Tianya could have ignored everything. But he had been intimate with all four women, so the term "insider" was ambiguous.

Just as he was wondering what to say, Zhong Xiang came in and saved him.

"The General Staff has issued a notice that the graduation ceremony will be held tomorrow morning at nine o'clock in Conference Room No. 1. You are free to arrange your time tonight, but you must leave your weapons behind. You don't have gun licenses yet, and you're not regular soldiers, so you have to hand them over." With one sentence, Zhong Xiang took away the five people's beloved companions. The five were somewhat reluctant, but Zhong Xiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already asked my superiors for your things. I'll keep them safe for you, and I'll take them out when there are missions in the future."

Chapter 72 Shocking News

The five were relieved to hear this. Hearing that they could arrange their time freely, the four girls jumped up with joy. Murong Piaoxue and Ouyang Xin'er dragged Ye Tianya, Sima Ruyan, and Nangong Qian'er out, leaving Zhong Xiang alone in the room shaking

his head and smiling bitterly. The five of them, still in their military uniforms, wandered the streets several times, running to Tiananmen Square to watch the lowering of the red flag, and then to Wangfujing Street to see the evening lights. Since the five had no money, and Ye Tianya only had some in his ring, taking it out might arouse suspicion from the four women. So they just watched. Hungry, the four women had to return. Ye Tianya sighed deeply; accompanying women to the streets was exhausting. He remembered swearing he would never accompany women to the streets again, but today he had broken his vow.

The four girls were very excited, but Ye Tianya felt uneasy, unsure of what was wrong. He initially thought it was because of the arrival of Old Han and the others, but after they arrived, things remained the same, so Ye Tianya had to be careful. But the whole night passed, and nothing happened.

At nine o'clock the next day, in Conference Room No. 1 of the General Staff Headquarters, Ye Tianya and his four companions finally received their five bright red graduation certificates. This was the result of their more than three months of hardship, but they also met an old man, an old man they didn't want to see. Fang Zhonghe, Fang Hua's grandfather, a General of the Central Committee.

When Ye Tianya saw this old man, he didn't sense any malice from him; on the contrary, he felt that this old man wasn't as bad as they had imagined. He looked at Ye Tianya and his group of five, who were walking out of the General Staff Headquarters with their certificates, and suddenly stopped them, making a move that surprised all five of them: he bowed deeply to them.

Ye Tianya and his four companions were so surprised they didn't recover. The old man had already raised his head, looking at them wearily, and said with a weathered voice, "Don't be surprised. You should know why I'm bowing to you. Please forgive my ignorance. On behalf of my grandson and his uncle in the XX military region, I apologize to you. Please forgive Fang Hua's ignorance and his uncle's momentary lapse in judgment. I promise to discipline him properly and severely punish everyone involved."

Ye Tianya and his companions exchanged glances, and finally Ye Tianya spoke, "General Fang, you really didn't need to do this. We almost didn't make it back because of your grandson, but we still came back. You..." "No matter how much you do, it all depends on whether your grandson truly understands. Even if he does, he should think about the lives of those forty soldiers who died unjustly and the grief of their families. Your position in the Central Military Commission is the result of your many years of dedication to the country, but it belongs only to you, not to your son or grandson. Regardless of whether we forgive your grandson or not, we will always respect you, General Fang."

The old man, not receiving a definite answer, sighed and said, "Thank you! I know what to do, but I still hope you can understand the heart of a parent."

After speaking, the old man turned and left wearily. From his tired figure, Ye Tianya could probably sense the helplessness in his heart. He wanted to severely punish his grandson, but after all, he was his grandson, family; he couldn't bring himself to do it. Where

there are emotions in the world, there is inevitably selfishness. Family and loved ones are people one must protect. Ye Tianya felt this way, and so would General Fang. It's just a matter of whether he could protect them.

When Ye Tianya returned to the detention center, he saw a brand-new Buick minivan parked downstairs. Xu Keming, who had come yesterday, was standing nearby. Seeing Ye Tianya and the others return, he smiled and walked over, handing Ye Tianya a cardboard box, saying, "Ye..." He started to speak but then realized he didn't know how to address the person he was about to protect. Seeing his hesitation, Ye Tianya quickly said, "Brother Xu, just call me Tianya."

Xu Keming smiled and said, "Okay, Tianya. This box was given to me by Old Han. " "Here you go, and this car too. You can use it from now on. Go get in and check out the contents of the box."

Ye Tianya nodded. The box was quite heavy, and Ye Tianya was also curious about what was inside. So he turned to the four women and said, "You guys go upstairs and pack your luggage. We're going back to S City this afternoon."

The four women glanced at Ye Tianya and Xu Keming curiously before entering the hall. Ye Tianya and Xu Keming got into the brand-new Buick and curiously looked at the car's facilities. The seats were still covered with plastic sheets, so it seemed to have just come from the new garage.

Ye Tianya opened the cardboard box. On the top was a green badge, which he opened to find it was indeed the consultant's badge. Inside was a large envelope. Xu Keming said, "This envelope is for the four girls going upstairs. You can give it to them later."

Ye Tianya nodded, then noticed a black laptop underneath, also unopened. Xu Keming said, "This computer was a gift from Old Han, who heard you like computers. He said it was specially made by Lenovo, with excellent performance, and not sold elsewhere."

Ye Tianya knew that Old Han had provided him with the computer so he could support the Cybersecurity Bureau in emergencies. However, seeing the car, Ye Tianya thought to himself, "So, being a consultant has its advantages."

"Brother Xu, we're going back to S City. Does Old Han have any other plans?" Ye Tianya asked, looking at Xu Keming's resolute face.

Xu Keming nodded and said, "Yes, Elder Han told me to follow you from now on and obey your arrangements. I will also be returning to S City with you."

Ye Tianya already knew this, so he nodded and said, "Then get ready. Our flight is at 3 PM."

Xu Keming smiled and said, "I've already prepared everything. The tickets are already booked for the same trip as yours. Go upstairs and give the envelope to them. I'll have someone send the car to S City."

Ye Tianya ignored him about having the car sent and carried the suitcase upstairs by himself. Within the General Staff's jurisdiction, Xu Keming was still at ease about Ye Tianya's safety.

After Ye Tianya returned to the room and gave the envelope to the four women, they opened it and jumped up with joy. Inside the envelope were four gun licenses and four green booklets of unknown type. There was also a secret letter for the four women. After reading it, the three women, except for Nangong Qian'er, looked at Ye Tianya in surprise, but they didn't ask anything and were immersed in their excitement again. Sure enough, Zhong Xiang returned shortly after, bringing four T63 pistols and providing holsters for all five. The five men stroked their pistols like they were babies, making Zhong Xiang shake his head repeatedly.

"Alright, these are the clothes you wore before coming to the training camp and some of your belongings. Now they're back to their rightful owners, and you should change out of these uniforms," Zhong Xiang said with a smile, pointing to the five bags he had brought.

All five of them changed back into their old clothes, and Ye Tianya regained his usual casual and carefree demeanor. The four girls beside him watched with shining eyes. However, when Ye Tianya reached for his phone in his pocket, a slight thought struck him. He had turned it off before his training camp, and surprisingly, it still had one bar of battery. But there were dozens of missed calls. Ye Tianya noticed that most of them were from Xingye. He wondered why Xingye was calling so many times. Was he calling to say, "Even if we can't be lovers, we can still be friends"? Ye Tianya then saw many calls from Yin Chao, Li Lanyu, and Lin Siyin. Xu Fan had also called once. Finally, he saw a call from Ye Xiao, who had called just yesterday. Ye Xiao usually had something important to say when he called, so Ye Tianya quickly called back.

"Hello, Brother Ye, what's up?" Ye Tianya asked.

"Tianya, where have you been? Yesterday... yesterday Xingye jumped off a building..." Night Owl's voice rang out on the other end of the phone, but it exploded in Ye Tianya's mind like a bomb. Ye Tianya's mind went blank for a moment, and he couldn't even hold the phone properly, dropping it to the ground and breaking it in two. The battery cover even flew off quite a distance. Samsung phones are really durable; even the phone on the ground still had a "hello" sound coming from it. Ye Tianya felt as if his heart had been emptied, and he slumped to the ground. He mechanically picked up the phone, now with the battery cover off

, and asked absentmindedly, "Brother Ye, how is she now?" Night Owl quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, she jumped from the third floor of her villa. She's still in the hospital being treated. That's all the information we have. Where are you? Come back quickly."

Ye Tianya subconsciously hummed in agreement, closed the phone and let it slip from his hand, staring blankly out the window.

"Captain, what's wrong? Don't scare us, what happened?" Nangong Qian'er squatted down to pick up Ye Tianya's phone, put the broken battery cover back on, and asked Ye Tianya anxiously. Sima Ruyan also squatted down and grabbed Ye Tianya's hand anxiously, asking, "What's wrong? Tell us quickly, what happened?"

Ye Tianya murmured, "Xingye... yesterday... jumped off a building, no wonder my heart hurts... and I'm restless... so that's why..." Suddenly, a light flashed in Ye Tianya's eyes, and he stood up abruptly, saying, "Quick, pack your things, we're going back to S City, let's go now. Now!"

Chapter 73 Learning the Truth

Zhong Xiang sensed something was amiss and quickly pulled the agitated Ye Tianya back, saying, "Ye Tianya, don't panic, it's happened, there's no point in panicking now. The plane doesn't take off until 3 pm, panicking won't help, calm down first. Pack your things and get ready."

Ye Tianya was persuaded by the five to sit down on the sofa, painfully closing his eyes, anxiously waiting for time to pass by. Sima Ruyan and the others had already packed up. Ye Tianya had come empty-handed, and this time he returned with only an ID and a laptop. They were all packed in a cardboard box. At lunchtime, Ye Tianya didn't eat a single grain of rice, instead sitting in his room staring intently at the wall clock. Suddenly, he remembered something, picked up his phone, and dialed.

"Brother Ye, do you have any news? Are you sure Xingye jumped and didn't fall?" Ye Tianya asked anxiously.

"Yes, I'm sure, because the railing on the third floor of the Lan family villa is intact. It couldn't have been a fall. I'm actually quite puzzled. With Xingye's skills, even if he jumped from the third floor, he would at most be injured, not in mortal danger. But now our people have found out that Xingye is still not out of danger. The situation is not good."

Ye Xiao's words made Ye Tianya feel increasingly anxious. He paced around the room helplessly, the wall clock seeming to deliberately slow down. Finally, the appointed time arrived, and Xu Keming appeared at the door. Ye Tianya turned back to Zhong Xiang and said, "General Zhong, goodbye!"

Zhong Xiang nodded and smiled, saying, "Ye Tianya, before you leave, I still hope you can calm down. Although it's true that things don't concern you much until they do, you should be able to remain calm even if Mount Tai collapses before you."

Ye Tianya was deeply shaken. Yes, his behavior just now was indeed too impetuous. Ye Tianya said shamefully, "Thank you for the reminder, General. I will remember it. Take care." Ye Tianya suddenly calmed down a lot. The five of them left the General Staff Headquarters with Xu Keming. Zhong Xiang followed them to the gate, watching the departing cars, and murmured,

"I really thought you were a cold-blooded animal without feelings. I really look forward to your

glory. " ~~ ... His anxiety was written all over his face. Lan Yang looked exhausted, but dared not meet Ye Tianya's gaze, saying, "She's still not out of danger; the doctors are trying to save her." Ye Tianya's hand trembled slightly, his face contorted with inner pain. His expression suddenly turned cold as he said, "Then... Mr. Lan, you should know why Xingye jumped, right? I heard she jumped from the third floor of your building. You said you would make up for Xingye's more than ten years of loneliness, is this how you're going to make up for it?" Lan Yang's face also twitched sharply, and he said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I don't know what happened that day. I wasn't home that day. It's my fault; I'm sorry to Xingye." But Ye Tianya noticed that Lan Yang was being evasive. A thought flickered in his mind. Ye Tianya turned to Lan's mother and said coldly, "Mrs. Lan, you should know why Xingye jumped off the building, right?" Lan's mother's face twisted in pain, but she suddenly said, "Ye Tianya, I think it's none of your business why Xingye jumped. We are her parents, and we will handle it ourselves. You seemed to have promised not to bother Xingye anymore. Have you gone back on your word?" Upon hearing this, Ye Tianya's face twisted in extreme pain. Xingye had indeed personally handed him the check. What was he doing here now? Xingye was no longer related to him. "Shut up," Lan Yang said, confused as to why his wife, who had promised Xingye she wouldn't interfere with their relationship once Ye Tianya returned, was suddenly saying this. Remembering her repeated foolish actions and seeing the pain on Ye Tianya's face, he quickly stopped his wife and said to Ye Tianya, "Xiao Ye, I'm sorry, thank you for coming to care about Xingye, but… the situation is still unclear. Perhaps Xingye accidentally fell from the third-floor railing." Ye Tianya glanced at the closed intensive care unit, a sharp pain shooting through his heart. His mother was right; what happened to Xingye was none of his business now. She had her own parents and had nothing to do with him anymore. What was he doing here? "Heh…heh heh…heh heh," Ye Tianya laughed bitterly, a laugh filled with helplessness and desolation. He felt his heart being slowly devoured by this desolation, bleeding. He slowly turned, like a faltering old man, and walked out step by step. With each step, he felt a vast emptiness within him. "Captain—" The four girls nervously followed Ye Tianya outside. Xu Keming hurriedly followed as well. After reaching the door, he glanced back at the Lan couple. Based on his professional intuition, he felt there was something wrong with the couple. But Ye Tianya didn't care, and he couldn't be bothered to pay attention. It was their own family matter anyway. Ye Tianya didn't know how he got back to school. The four girls, worried about letting him leave alone, dragged him like a wooden puppet to the lawn in front of the teaching building, trying to persuade him, but were interrupted by another excited voice.

Yin Chao and He Sisi were walking out of the teaching building when Yin Chao glanced at the lawn near the entrance and froze, staring in disbelief at a figure in white—clothes all too familiar to him. He rubbed his eyes hard twice, and when he confirmed that the white figure was Ye Tianya, he didn't even greet He Sisi, throwing his books aside and rushing out.

"Tianya—" Seeing Ye Tianya return alive, Yin Chao felt an indescribable surge of emotion; even this grown man couldn't hold back his tears. But no matter how many words he had, they couldn't compare to what was more important to him.

"Tianya—" Seeing that Ye Tianya didn't respond much to his calls, Yin Chao called again. Only then did Ye Tianya react slightly, glancing at Yin Chao before turning back to stare blankly at the sky.

Thinking Ye Tianya was still heartbroken over Xingye's situation, Yin Chao said, "Tianya, don't be like this. Xingye didn't do anything wrong. We misunderstood her. Did you hear that? We misunderstood Xingye. She herself didn't know anything. It was her mother who interfered, lying to her that she was just giving us money to help us, without explaining the true meaning of the money. Get up quickly. Xingye has been waiting for you to come back and explain to you in person. Get up and call her!"

Ye Tianya got up, practically springing up from the ground, and grabbed Yin Chao's arms, somewhat... Ye Tianya yelled uncontrollably, "What did you say? Say it again! Say it again!"

Seeing Ye Tianya's agitation, Yin Chao was startled and quickly said, "I said, we all misunderstood Xingye. That check from that day was entirely her mother's scheme. She knew nothing about it. Her mother told her the money was to support our education. Xingye's intention was for us to use that money to start a business, make something of ourselves, and stop being looked down upon."

Ye Tianya finally understood. He shoved Yin Chao aside, ignoring the four surprised girls and Yin Chao behind him, and rushed towards the school gate.

"Captain—"

"Tianya—" Sima Ruyan and the other four girls, along with Yin Chao, all cried out and chased after him. He Sisi was left standing alone at the school building entrance, stunned.

Ye Tianya rushed out of the school gate, jumped into a taxi, and the five girls who had chased after him flagged him down, following him all the way to the hospital.

Seeing Ye Tianya return, the Lan couple were stunned. Lan's mother then said sarcastically, "Ye Tianya, is there anything else?"

Ye Tianya glanced coldly at Lan's mother, about to speak, when the three doctors and nurses inside came out together. The doctor dejectedly said to Lan Yang, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lan, we did our best."

"What did you say? Say it again!" Ye Tianya grabbed the doctor, almost lifting him off the ground.

"Captain—"

"Tianya—" Sima Ruyan and the others who had caught up rushed forward to stop the nearly enraged Ye Tianya. Meanwhile, the Lan couple had already rushed into the room, where Lan's mother's cries could be heard. Ye Tianya, stopped by the four women, put down the doctor and rushed into the room. Xingye lay quietly on the bed, her long, beautiful hair scattered on the pillow. The Lan couple wept, looking at her pale face.

Chapter Seventy-Four: Overnight White Hair

"Xiao Ye—" Ye Tianya cried out in pain and rushed forward. For some reason, Lan Yang actually stepped aside to let Ye Tianya reach Xing Ye's side. He grabbed Xing Ye's hand. According to the doctor, Xing Ye was beyond saving. When Ye Tianya held Xing Ye's hand, he felt that her hand still had a little warmth, but it was slowly stiffening from the fingertips upwards.

"No… Xiao Ye, you can't die. You still owe me an explanation. You said you would explain to me in person. You can't die," Ye Tianya held Xing Ye's hand tightly, gently stroking her pale face with his other hand.

Ye Tianya suddenly stood up, his face becoming unusually calm. "Ru Yan, get everyone out. No one is allowed to enter without my permission. Otherwise, kill them without mercy." Ye Tianya's tone returned to how it was during training. Sima Ruyan unconsciously replied firmly, "Yes, Captain!"

She winked at the other three women, and without waiting for the Lan couple's consent, two of them grabbed him and dragged him out. "Let me go, let me go, I want to see my daughter!"

Lan Yang didn't show much resistance, but Lan's mother screamed as she was dragged out. However, she was still dragged out by the four women. Yin Chao originally wanted to stay, but Ye Tianya gave him a cold look and he had no choice but to leave as well. Ye Tianya locked the door from the inside and then cast a protective barrier in the room. He then walked to the bedside. Xingye's lips had already begun to turn purple. Ye Tianya knew that time was running out; if he didn't fight now, it would be too late.

"Xiaoye, your brother will fight for you. You must cooperate with me. You must wake up and explain to me personally, understand?" Ye Tianya helped Xingye sit up cross-legged on the bed, then sat down himself, one hand on Xingye's lower abdomen and the other on Xingye's brow. Immediately afterward, a faint layer of seven-colored light emanated from Ye Tianya's body. This light grew increasingly intense, gradually enveloping both him and Xingye. Anyone who witnessed this would surely have a heart attack.

Outside the door, Lan's mother was still roaring, rushing towards the ward door, but four girls lined up nearby, blocking her way each time she tried. Lan Yang had to restrain his woman, but she showed no sign of stopping, angrily shouting, "What right do you have? Xingye is my daughter! What right do you have to stop me from seeing her? I'll sue you! I'll sue you! Ye Tianya! I'll definitely sue you and send you to jail…!"

But Ye Tianya inside couldn't hear a sound; the barrier blocked out all noise. He was using his spiritual power to probe Xingye's body to find the root of the problem. He discovered that Xingye's central nervous system, extending downwards from the back of her head, was being compressed by a blood clot formed from the impact of jumping from the building. This wasn't enough to stop Xingye's metabolism; at most, it wouldn't cause her to lose consciousness and become a vegetable. The main issue was that a small blood clot was blocking the connection between her cardiovascular system and her atrium, which was why doctors had pronounced her dead. The blood clot couldn't be surgically removed there.

Ye Tianya channeled his Chaotic True Qi into Xingye's body, trying to break up the blood clot. At the same time, he pushed his magical power to its limit, drawing life force from nearby plants to protect her nearly depleted heart meridian and restore her vitality. This was a technique Frant had used to save Ye Tianya, but Ye Tianya knew his own power was far from sufficient. Fortunately, Xingye's current vitality was better than when he had been suffocated by Lei Bao. Ye Tianya was determined to fight to the death and revive Xingye.

Outside the door, Lan's mother, held back by Lan Yang, quieted down after shouting until she was exhausted. The Lan family's bodyguards tried to intervene but were stopped by Lan Yang. The two sides remained in a standoff. Xu Keming rushed over; he had just gone to the airport to pick up their Buick minivan. When he saw the four women solemnly guarding the door, he asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

Sima Ruyan glanced back at the closed door and said with a wry smile, "The captain is inside. He ordered that no one is allowed to enter without his permission, or they will be killed without exception."

Xu Keming was shocked. He couldn't help but glance at the Lan family across the street, then suddenly remembered something. He stopped a passing nurse, asked for directions to the director's office, and hurriedly left.

Yin Chao stood at the door all night, but there was still no movement from inside. The four girls standing at the door remained meticulously guarding, which greatly surprised the exhausted Yin Chao. Meanwhile, the Lan family members were slumped over in chairs in the corridor, fast asleep.

A nurse rushed in as if she'd seen a ghost, shouting into the nurses' station, "Something terrible has happened! All the flowers, plants, and trees in the garden have withered overnight! They were all fine when I left work yesterday, but now they're all dead. The bark is all dried up... It's horrible!"

"What? All dead? Quick, let's go see what happened!"

News of all the trees in the garden withering overnight spread throughout the hospital. Many people rushed to the garden to see what was happening. They discovered that, centered on the intensive care unit next to the emergency room, all the trees had dried up, leaving several large trees with only bare branches.

The hospital immediately sealed off the garden, preventing patients from entering, and then sought help from the forestry department. Meanwhile, Ye Tianya, the mastermind behind all this, was at a critical juncture. He was just a tiny bit away from removing the clot of dead blood from Xingye's heart, but his internal energy and magical power were exhausted. He couldn't give up now; if he stopped, the blood clot would inevitably be forced into the heart, making things even more complicated, and potentially causing Xingye's heart to stop beating forever.

"I'll risk it all—" Ye Tianya steeled his resolve, deciding that even if it meant risking his life, he would save Xingye. He decided to take a final risk, using the life force that had sustained him and the internal energy scattered throughout his meridians in a final desperate struggle.

After his final gamble, Ye Tianya felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and lost consciousness. However, before fainting, he knew that Xingye's heart was beating normally again, albeit faintly. Ye Tianya

was unaware that his desperate act had pushed his magical power and true energy beyond their limits. Such improvements only come when pushing beyond one's limits; this time, Ye Tianya had truly risked everything for a chance at survival. Both his true energy and magical power had received a further boost.

After waiting for nearly a day and a night, everyone outside was growing impatient. Yin Chao had gone to eat two meals, the Lan family members had returned from their meals, and Xu Keming had also returned and was waiting at the door. Only the four women remained, guarding the entrance. Sima Ruyan couldn't help but call out, "Captain, are you alright?"

The door opened, and the person who appeared stunned everyone outside. Ye Tianya carried Xingye out of the ward. But what surprised everyone wasn't this; it was Ye Tianya himself—overnight, his hair had turned completely silver-white, without a single black strand. Even his eyebrows had turned completely white.

"Captain—" The four girls covered their mouths in astonishment, staring at Ye Tianya's hair, tears welling in their eyes as they looked at his silvery-white hair with heartache. Not only the four girls were astonished, but Lan Yang and his wife were also speechless. Overnight, the boy's hair had turned completely white. What kind of pain could make a boy's hair turn completely white overnight? As Xingye's biological father, Lan Yang couldn't understand the depth of Ye Tianya's pain.

Ye Tianya smiled sadly at the four girls and Xingye, then looked at Xu Keming and calmly said, "Brother Xu, please... help me find out why Xingye jumped off the building. No matter who harmed her, find them by digging three feet into the ground, or... I will massacre S City."

If Xingye had truly betrayed him for vanity like Du Qing, he wouldn't have been so impulsive as to kill. But his past impulsiveness had misunderstood Xingye, causing her even more suffering. If Xingye died, he might truly lose control and go insane. If Xingye died, even a bloodbath in the entire S City might not quell his rage. If Xingye hadn't regained his heartbeat, he might have already used his life to activate the forbidden magic "Destruction." Those who harmed Xingye were destined to suffer a fate worse than death.

Ye Tianya's tone was calm, yet chilling, sending shivers down everyone's spines. Even Xu Keming seemed frozen in place. Ye Tianya's tone left no room for doubt. When they came to their senses, they found that Ye Tianya, holding Xingye, had disappeared at the far end of the corridor. In that brief moment of stunned silence, Xu Keming and the others chased after him but never found Ye Tianya again. He had vanished without a trace.

"Have you found him?"

"Not yet. We've searched several streets around here, but we haven't found a Ye Tianya carrying a corpse."

"Keep searching. You must find him!"

"Yes!" Xu Keming had sent men to search for two days straight, but there was still no sign of Ye Tianya. He was frantic. He had failed the task assigned to him on the very second day after taking it on. Remembering Ye Tianya's instructions to investigate why Xingye was murdered, and recalling his chilling words, "Bloodbath in S City," Xu Keming felt a pang of fear. He didn't understand why he was so afraid when Ye Tianya's abilities and skills were far from sufficient to massacre S City.

"Never mind, it's good to find out the truth anyway, at least it'll prevent Ye Tianya from doing anything rash. You'll have to come looking for me eventually anyway," Xu Keming thought to himself. He took out his phone and dialed a number.

Chapter 75 The Truth Behind the Suicide

"Director Xia, this is Xu Keming. It's like this, something's happened here, and I'd like to borrow the department's resources to investigate something... Oh, it's like this... A Chinese student named Xingye jumped from the third floor of her villa... The hospital found a large amount of sleeping pills in her system..."

After calling Director Xia of the S City Security Bureau for help, Xu Keming immediately reported to Old Han in Beijing.

"What? Such a thing happened? What were you thinking? You just let Ye Tianya take a corpse and leave? According to him, you were to investigate the truth of the matter thoroughly and report back to us as soon as you have results. Also, you were to increase the manpower to search for him. If anything happens to him, I will hold you responsible." Old Han couldn't help but get angry when he heard

Xu Keming's report. Xu Keming, who had just hung up the phone, felt his back sweating. ~~ ...

Lan Yang's expression showed he had been holding back for so long, but he could no longer bear it. "Slap—" Lan Yang slapped the woman hard across the face, roaring, "Shut up! Don't think I actually believe that nonsense about Xiao Ye falling down the stairs. Even if I, Lan Yang, fail in business, I would never betray my own daughter. And you, explain yourself! What happened to Mo Jun? Tell me, you idiot! Just you wait! Ye Tianya's hair turned white overnight because of his daughter. Once he finds out you're the one who harmed Xingye, he'll risk being executed to make sure you're the first one killed!"

Lan Yang's words reminded the woman of Ye Tianya's cold words when he carried Xingye away. A sense of fear crept into her heart. Ye Tianya's hair had turned white overnight—it showed how deep his love for Xingye was. And because of her scheme, he thought Xingye had abandoned him, even signing a death warrant to participate in training. Now that Xingye was dead, if he truly went mad and sought revenge, she feared she might really lose her life. Thinking of this, she felt a chill run down her spine. Staring blankly, she had completely forgotten the stinging slap Lan Yang had given her.

Lan Yang himself was also in great pain. Although he didn't know the specific reason, he had learned a little from the servants: Xingye had fallen asleep in the living room the day she jumped, and Mo Jun was there too. The woman had asked Mo Jun to take Xingye upstairs to rest. From this alone, Lan Yang knew that the woman and Mo Jun had a problem. Although Mo Jun was the son of his business partner, they weren't close enough for him to carry his daughter to her room. Then Xingye jumped, and then Mo Jun ran downstairs disheveled and fled the Lan family home. All of this pointed to his woman and Mo Jun as the culprits who harmed Xingye. But Lan Yang didn't know what to do. Should he sue Mo Jun? That would inevitably implicate his woman. Judging from what she did to Xingye and Ye Tianya, the root of the problem might lie entirely with this materialistic woman. Moreover, if this got out, it would damage his daughter's reputation. Although his daughter was already dead (he didn't know Ye Tianya had revived Xingye), as a father, he had to do his best to preserve her last shred of honor.

Caught in the middle, Lan Yang could only swallow his anger, his wife having conspired with outsiders to harm his daughter. But he worried about something else: Ye Tianya had ordered the young man he called "Brother Xu" to thoroughly investigate Xingye's suicide attempt. Once the investigation was complete, it would inevitably expose the truth. Lan Yang knew that the truth would eventually come out, but he still hoped to cover it up with several layers of secrecy, at least for a while. After all, Ye Tianya's "Brother Xu" wouldn't dare to investigate openly. So he summoned all the servants and strictly instructed them not to reveal anything about the household to outsiders.

However, to his surprise, his worst fears came true, and to his utter astonishment, because the person investigating Xingye's suicide attempt wasn't Xu, Ye Tianya's friend, but a middle-aged man who presented identification from the S City Security Bureau.

"Mr. Lan, I'm Tang Jun from the S City Security Bureau. I'm so sorry to bother you. We deeply sympathize with your family regarding Miss Xingye's incident, but we can't do anything about it. To be honest, we're here because of Miss Xingye. The hospital has confirmed that Miss Xingye had a large amount of sleeping pills in her system before she jumped. Therefore, we want to investigate whether she took them herself or someone drugged her. We'd like to borrow your servants, is that alright?"

Lan Yang forced a calm facade, but his heart began to clench. He immediately understood who had drugged Xingye. He had initially thought that Xu would be the one investigating, and that as long as the servants didn't speak, the other party wouldn't know anything. But unexpectedly, even the Security Bureau had come.

"I'm sorry, we don't think we've reported this to the police. It's a family matter, we can handle it ourselves, no need for you to trouble yourself." Lan Yang didn't want them to take the servants away; he knew that once these servants were in the hands of the Security Bureau, they would say anything.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lan, Miss Xingye is your daughter, that's true, but she is under the protection of our Security Bureau. Now that Miss Xingye is in trouble, we have an obligation to investigate the cause. We suspect that there are people hiding in the Lan residence who could endanger Miss Xingye's safety and national security. Of course, it's not Mr. and Mrs. Lan, so, I apologize." The middle-aged man finished speaking with a smile, and said to the group of subordinates behind him, "Take all the servants from the villa back to the Security Bureau."

"You—," Lan Yang didn't expect that the other party would impose such a heavy charge, and he couldn't stop them even if he wanted to. All the servants were taken away.

"Excuse me, when did my daughter become a protected person of the Security Bureau? I, as her father, didn't even know?" Lan Yang asked indignantly.

The security officer smiled faintly, "It seems Mr. Lan knows his daughter quite well. Do you know why she jumped?"

"I...I don't know," Lan Yang's face turned ashen. His wife beside him was completely flustered and couldn't sit still.

Tang Jun said calmly, "Then please cooperate with our investigation, Mr. and Mrs. Lan, and answer a few questions. We can investigate the truth behind Miss Xingye's accident as soon as possible."

Lan Yang was completely under Tang Jun's control and had no choice but to nod in agreement. If he didn't agree, it meant he, as her father, didn't want to find out the truth about Xingye's accident.

"Mr. Lan, where were you when Miss Xingye had her accident?"

"I was in my office. I only found out when Xiaoye was admitted to the hospital."

"Oh, I see. Then, Mrs. Lan, where were you at the time?"

"I...I was in the kitchen preparing dinner," the woman said, forcing herself to remain calm.

"Who was in the house at the time?"

"Yes...yes...just my daughter and me, and some servants."

"Then, Madam Lan, based on your understanding of your daughter, why do you think Miss Xingye might have jumped off the building?"

"I don't know, maybe she fell accidentally."

"Then, Madam Lan, did you know your daughter had sleeping pills? Or where in your house are the sleeping pills kept, and did your daughter know?"

"I...I don't know...I don't know anything! Don't ask me, don't ask me anymore!" The woman was on the verge of collapse, sobbing uncontrollably, clutching her head. Lan Yang felt a pang of pain in his heart and said to Tang Jun in anguish, "Mr. Tang, my wife just lost our daughter and is emotionally unstable. Could you please stop asking for now? Also, could you tell me why my daughter became a protected individual of your Security Bureau?"

Tang Jun smiled faintly and said, "Alright, we'll stop here for today. However, why your daughter became a protected individual of the Security Bureau is a secret. I can't tell you. I'll visit you again another day when Mrs. Lan's emotions have calmed down. Goodbye."

Tang Jun left, taking the servants with him. Only the Lan couple remained in the large hall. Lan Yang stood up wearily, grabbed his briefcase that he had left there for two days, and walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?" the woman asked hurriedly, standing up.

"I'm going to work," Lan Yang said, walking out.

"Don't go! I'm afraid Ye Tianya might come here unexpectedly!" the woman said fearfully.

"Afraid? You're afraid too? Go find your chosen son-in-law, maybe he'll protect you." Lan Yang turned back and looked at the woman with a mocking expression. At this moment, he deeply regretted marrying such a materialistic woman.

The woman looked at her large home and finally understood what regret meant. Ever since she promised Xingye that she wouldn't interfere in their relationship if Ye Tianya returned, Xingye had been listless and preoccupied with Ye Tianya every day after returning home. The woman hated Ye Tianya to the core, but she didn't know why she hated him so much. Compared to this, she preferred Mo Jun, who knew how to please her. Adding to this, the impatient Mo Jun constantly pressured her, and other wealthy businesswomen's daughters were constantly lingering around him. To prevent her daughter from falling behind, the foolish woman even thought of using the tactic of forcing a relationship, hoping to help Mo Jun put sleeping pills in Xingye's drink. Unfortunately, she didn't know that Xingye possessed something she hadn't considered: the Xuan Nu Heart Sutra she had practiced. The Xuan Nu Heart Sutra automatically resisted sleeping pills. Just as Mo Jun was about to undress Xingye, she woke up, but her body was limp, and Mo Jun stopped her in the room. Xingye's only option was to jump from the third-floor balcony.

Chapter Seventy-Six: Frost and Snow.

The woman looked around the empty house, a nameless fear rising in her heart. She hastily tidied herself up and, just as Lan Yang had said, ran towards Mo Jun's house. She went to find her mahjong partner, Mo Jun's mother.

However, what awaited her at the gate of the Mo family was Madam Mo's cold words: "What are you doing here? Do you still want to harm my son? You were afraid your own daughter wouldn't be able to marry, so you offered her to my son. Now look what's happened, my son can't go to school and has to go abroad. You still have the nerve to come to my house? Get out, I don't want to see you!"

"You—how can you talk like that? Your son said he liked my daughter, and I only agreed because of our years of friendship. You also agreed. How can you say this to me now?" Madam Lan looked at her former mahjong partner in disbelief.

"Like your daughter? Don't you think about it? With the Mo family's status, which family that wants to marry into our family isn't more powerful than your Lan family? Your Xingye is just a little better looking. Beauty is a curse, harming others and herself. Now that your daughter is dead, I don't want to say anything more about you, but if you want to affect my son, hmph, don't blame me for being impolite to your Lan family." Madam Mo said coldly, kicking the woman out of the house without even letting her in. The woman had just stepped out of the Mo family villa when she bumped into Tang Jun from the Security Bureau.

"Hehe, it's Mrs. Lan. We were just about to look for you. Good thing, please come with us," Tang Jun said with a smile upon seeing Mrs. Lan.

Mrs. Lan, seeing the Security Bureau personnel at the Mo family gate, knew the servants must have mentioned Mo Jun's presence. She knew that once Tang Jun entered the Mo family, Mo Jun's mother would reveal everything. She tried to stop Tang Jun from going in, saying, "Mr. Tang, you're here to see Mo Jun, right? He's already gone abroad."

Tang Jun still smiled calmly, "You know? So you weren't telling us the truth when we were at your house earlier? Hehe, understandable. After all, you were thinking of your daughter's reputation. Mo Jun went abroad? He certainly left at the right time. But we still need to go in and find out more. Why don't you wait for us in the car?"

Lan's mother was thus "escorted" into the car by two security personnel

. She watched as Tang

Jun and the others went in and then came out again shortly after. She collapsed weakly into the car. Everything was out in the open . ~~

... But on his second day at work, something went wrong. Even the person he was supposed to be protecting disappeared. After hanging up the phone, Sima Ruyan looked at Ouyang Xin'er, Murong Piaoxue, and Nangong Qian'er, who were looking at her expectantly, and shook her head and sighed, "Still no news. I don't know where the captain went." The four girls were silent. After a while, Nangong Qian'er said softly, "I finally understand why the captain was so cold during the training camp. It turns out that Xingye's mother thought the captain was too poor and wanted to break him up with Xingye. But Xingye and the captain were both deceived by her scheme and were heartbroken for so long. They thought they could reconcile and get back together, but who knew... Xingye..." "Yes, the captain loves Xingye so much. His hair turned completely white overnight. I'm worried... will the captain commit suicide for love..." As soon as Murong Piaoxue said this, the four girls' expressions changed drastically. They looked at each other. Even the usually composed Sima Ruyan was at a loss: "What should we do? The captain wouldn't really... No, we must quickly notify our four families and send out all available resources to find the captain as soon as possible and stop him from doing something foolish!" "But Ruyan, if the captain really wanted to die for love, he'd probably be dead by now," Ouyang Xin'er cried. Sima Ruyan also couldn't hold back her tears: "Never mind, we have to find his body. That guy still owes us a huge debt, and he thinks he can just abandon us for a single night? No way!" So, the four major families mobilized. Meanwhile, Han Laolong , who thought Ye Tianya had been kidnapped by agents from some country, also dispatched members of a special operations team. Actions were taken on all sides. Through both overt and covert investigations, Ye Tianya's disappearance triggered a chain reaction, creating quite a commotion. ~~ ... What's most remarkable is that from every balustrade, one can see the lush green forests along the lake and the vibrant flowers blooming there, as well as the clear, emerald-green water at one's feet. However, the person residing in this water palace has no time to appreciate these beautiful views. In a room called Tingfengju (Listening to the Wind Residence), three young men and women in white robes are anxiously watching over a pale-faced girl lying on the bed. Among the three young men and women in white robes, the one in the middle is Ye Tianya, who has caused some outsiders great anxiety. Beside him, on either side, are two girls, both dressed in pure white brocade and looking exactly alike. Even upon close inspection, it's difficult to distinguish one from the other. Their exquisitely beautiful faces are enough to make even the most ardent materialists and scientists believe that celestial beings truly exist in this world. Their elegant and holy aura inspires awe and reverence, yet both girls possess an unapproachable coldness on their faces. "Husband, Xingye's will is very strong now. She will definitely wake up soon. You just finished practicing your internal energy, so you should rest for a while." A voice like heavenly music came from the girl to Ye Tianya's right, filled with endless care and tenderness. Who would have thought it came from the mouth of this beautiful yet aloof girl? Ye Tianya softly hummed in agreement, reached out to smooth the stray hairs on Xingye's forehead, and tidied the white silk quilt covering her before standing up and walking towards the door. The two girls followed him out, turning back to gently close the door. They followed Ye Tianya to an octagonal pavilion in front of the room. Ye Tianya sat by the pavilion, looking at the azure waves of the lake, his heart filled with pain and regret. He was pained by the great harm Xingye had suffered, and regretful for not believing her, for misunderstanding her as a vain girl like Du Qing, and for saying such harsh words to her. Xingye must be heartbroken. Actually, Ye Tianya's initial distrust of Xingye and impulsive departure were understandable. Du Qing's vanity had deeply wounded Lan Feng's heart; the wound hadn't even healed, and the slightest touch would cause it to bleed again. No wonder he misunderstood Xingye. "Husband, don't be too sad, Xingye will get better," came Bing Shuang's voice from behind. Bing Shuang and Bing Xue were always so gentle and understanding. Although Ye Tianya didn't have much of an emotional connection with them, he felt an undeniable responsibility towards them. Moreover, these two sisters were wholeheartedly devoted to him—a devotion instilled by the ancient virtues of obedience and submission—a responsibility Ye Tianya would bear for the rest of his life. Ye Tianya turned back, gazing tenderly at the two women's beautiful faces. The pain in his heart made him long for a warm embrace. He gently pulled Bing Shuang and Bing Xue closer, then tightly held their soft bodies in his arms. Ye Tianya closed his eyes and let out a long breath, releasing the pent-up emotions in his heart. "Shuang'er, Xue'er, you've suffered these past few days..." Chapter Seventy-Seven: Xingye woke up in the arms of the man she had entrusted her life to. It was the first time the two girls had ever been embraced by Ye Tianya. After their first cultivation session, which saved them, Ye Tianya had left Tianya Valley. Now, carrying Xingye back, he had stayed by her side day and night, channeling his life force and clearing her meridians. The two girls silently assisted him, fulfilling their duties as wives, serving him tea and water, and carefully tending to him. Only now did they truly receive a hug from Ye Tianya. The two girls cried with emotion, “It’s not bitter, not bitter at all! Husband, you’ve finally embraced your wives! How many days and nights have they longed for this? They hoped that one day our husband would avenge his great enemy and return to hold his wives in his arms, to be with them. They’ve finally waited for this! They’re so happy, so very happy!” Ye Tianya’s heart trembled. Just one embrace, yet these two lonely girls had longed for so many days and nights. Ye Tianya felt deeply guilty and hugged the two girls even tighter, “As long as you’re happy, your husband will be with you every day, with his beloved wives, holding them every day, okay?” “ Yes!” The two girls nodded happily in Ye Tianya’s arms, nestled quietly in his embrace, tears streaming down their faces—tears of emotion. After a long while, the two women finally left Ye Tianya's embrace, gently wiping away their tears. Bingxue raised her face and said tenderly, "Husband, let my sister and I play you a tune." Ye Tianya nodded. The two women were in high spirits, and Ye Tianya let them do as they pleased . Ye Tianya sat quietly in the pavilion. From a nearby tower, the clear sound of a zither drifted up. The music was peaceful, so peaceful that it made one unconsciously let go of everything in their heart, feeling how warm and calm the world was. In the music, he forgot his worries, his sorrows, his grudges, and all the unhappy things. Ye Tianya quietly enjoyed the music. Finally, he let go of all the burdens in his heart. For the first time , he felt that he could live so easily. ~~ ...

"Mr. Lan, all we want is the truth. Your wife has confessed to everything. I think it's best to let her tell you herself what she did. Since it involved your own family, in other words, Mrs. Lan personally killed her daughter, and since Mr. Lan didn't pursue the matter, we won't prosecute anyone. You can leave now," Tang Jun said politely to Lan Yang.

Lan Yang was stunned, not expecting to leave so easily. However, Tang Jun's words, "Mrs. Lan personally killed her daughter," felt like a knife stabbing into his heart. His mother was even paler.

As they left, the couple saw the disdainful looks from the people in the security office. The prideful Lan Yang couldn't stay another second. Yes, for vanity, she had actually seduced her own daughter and given her away, and in her own home no less! Such a person deserved only the contempt of the world.

The servants of the Lan family coldly watched Lan Yang and his wife. When Lan Yang called them to leave, a middle-aged woman stepped forward, pointing angrily at Lan Yang's wife, saying, "We're not going back. We don't want to face this vicious woman every day. Mr. Lan, I really doubt if you are truly Miss Xingye's biological parents. You wanted to take her home, so why did you harm her like this? Why? You're not human, you're beasts... If it weren't for the Security Bureau asking us to keep this a secret, we would definitely let the world see your beastly faces."

The servants, who had been ordering them around, looked at the couple with anger and contempt, then turned and left. Lan Yang stood there dumbfounded, letting them curse him, finally leaving with his head down, without even saying goodbye to the woman beside him. The servants' words echoed in his mind, "Beasts!" Lan Yang let out a bitter laugh, while the woman behind him had her face twisted with regret and pain.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Tianya remained missing. Han Lao and Xu Keming's men had given up the search, and Xu Keming had been transferred back to Beijing. Due to the National Security Bureau's gag order, the matter of Xingye was unknown to outsiders; all that was known was that Xingye had fallen to her death. However, the story of Ye Tianya's hair turning white overnight was told by Yin Chao to several girls in He Sisi's dormitory, and then it spread like wildfire, becoming a popular tale on campus. Ye Tianya's disappearance was even rumored to be a suicide pact for Xingye, a claim even Yin Chao, Sima Ruyan, and the other three girls believed, convinced that Ye Tianya was gone.

Once a story is told, it at most leaves a mark on people's minds. If no one reminds them, they gradually forget it. The topic of Ye Tianya and Xingye was no longer mentioned. The world went on as before; people went to work and went to school.

However, some people not only hadn't forgotten Ye Tianya, but were also eagerly awaiting his return. These included Sima Ruyan, Ouyang Xin'er, the four girls of the Flying Dragon team, and Lin Siyin. Li Lanyu told her about Ye Tianya. When she heard the news that Ye Tianya might have committed suicide for Xingye, she and Li Lanyu, who had come to tell her the news, hugged and wept bitterly.

Lin Siyin was a strong woman. After crying, she returned to her usual self, only with fewer smiles and a more relentless work ethic.

"I believe you're still in this world, otherwise you wouldn't have left without saying goodbye. I will definitely handle the things you entrusted to me. I will make the real estate company bigger for you, and I'll wait for your return," Lin Siyin said firmly to herself, standing by the office window, looking at the endless stream of cars dozens of floors below.

Just as Lin Siyin had thought, Ye Tianya was not dead, and the first person to know that Ye Tianya was alive was none other than Lin Siyin.

That day, Lin Siyin was talking with the managers of Xingye Express and Tianya Real Estate when her phone rang. When she answered and saw the number, she couldn't help but lose her composure in front of her two subordinates. Tears welled up in her eyes. She picked up the phone and rushed out.

"Hello, where are you? We've been looking for you for three months. We all thought you had gone with Xingye. You...you come back soon, we...miss you so much...Okay, when do you need...Okay, I'll go find you a place right away...Okay, a place for four people?...Okay, I understand. Where are you now? I'll find a place to pick you up...Okay, I'll be right there."

Lin Siyin put away the phone, wiped away her tears, and told her two subordinates to go back first. She then called her assistant Ren Jing and bodyguard Fang Juan and hurriedly left.

"What's wrong with Lin? She seemed to cry when she saw the phone.

" "How should I know?"

"Don't know? Heh, everyone in the company knows that Manager Lu has been pursuing President Lin. Look at how President Lin looked just now, it seems like something happened. Aren't you going to care? This is a good opportunity for you to show her some concern."

"Come on, Manager Zhou, don't talk about me. Others may not know that you like President Lin, but I know very well. Heh, do whatever you want. Go and care for President Lin. But we're competing fairly. No matter who loses face or loses, don't blame the other."

"Heh, Manager Lu is joking. How could I dare to like President Lin? She's a phoenix in the business world. I don't have Manager Lu's boldness. Heh, goodbye Manager Lu. I wish your Tianya Real Estate a speedy development. Perform well, and President Lin might take a liking to you."

The two managers left, exchanging words and secretly competing with each other. Meanwhile, Lin Siyin had already arrived at the sales office of the Shangri-La residential complex.

After Ye Tianya left the valley and made a phone call to Lin Siyin, he returned to Tianya Valley. Bing Shuang and Bing Xue were playing with a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who was laughing happily in the pavilion. Seeing Ye Tianya return, Bing Shuang quickly smiled at the girl and said, "Xiao Ye, your brother is back!"

"Brother—hug!" The girl turned around and saw Ye Tianya, opening her arms to him. Her tone was like that of a seven or eight-year-old girl.

Ye Tianya smiled and walked over, picked up the girl from the stone bench she was sitting on, and then sat down himself, placing the girl on his lap.

Chapter Seventy-Eight Amnesiac Starry Night

"Brother, where did you go just now? You didn't take Xiao Ye with you. Xiao Ye is ignoring you!" The girl threw herself into Ye Tianya's arms and said coquettishly. The girl was none other than Xingye, whom Ye Tianya had desperately saved. Xingye had slept for over two months in Tianya Valley before finally waking up. To Ye Tianya's initial joy, however, he was saddened to discover that Xingye had amnesia; she remembered nothing, and her mental age had regressed to that of a seven or eight-year-old. Furthermore, her lower limbs had atrophied, and Ye Tianya had struggled immensely to even slightly restore them, so she still couldn't walk and needed to be carried everywhere. Xingye, with the mental age of a ten-year-old, would reach out for a hug whenever she saw Ye Tianya. Ye Tianya, his heart bleeding, forced a smile and would gently hold Xingye in his arms, carefully tending to her.

"Brother just went to look for a house. We'll be moving to a new house soon. Does Xiaoye want to move?" Ye Tianya held Xingye in his arms, glancing tenderly at Bing Shuang and Bing Xue beside him. The two girls gave him comforting looks, and Ye Tianya smiled faintly at them.

"Oh, great! We're moving to a new house! So great! Ouch—" Xingye cheered happily on Ye Tianya's lap, but because she struggled, her head bumped into Ye Tianya's chin, causing her to cry out in pain.

"Does it hurt, Xiaoye? Did your brother hurt you?" Ye Tianya quickly reached out to massage her, but Xingye giggled, touching the spot where she had bumped, and said with a laugh, "Brother is a silly boy, Xiaoye doesn't feel any pain. Xiaoye flattened brother's chin, hehehehe."

Ye Tianya deliberately got angry, saying, "You little brat, you dare to tease your brother? See how your brother punishes you, tickling you! Come on!" He laughed and reached out to tickle Xingye's armpit. Xingye giggled and struggled, even tickling Ye Tianya's armpit back. The two wrestled.

After a while, still feeling weak, Xingye fell into a deep sleep in Ye Tianya's arms. Ye Tianya looked down at Xingye's pure face and sighed deeply.

"Husband, don't be too sad. Maybe Xiaoye will be happier this way," Bingxue said, reaching out to hold Ye Tianya's hand in comfort.

Ye Tianya nodded and sighed, "That's fine too. As long as Xiaoye is happy. By the way, Shuang'er, Xue'er, are you really not coming out of the valley with us?"

Bing Shuang shook her head and said, "Husband, it's not that we don't want to go out and stay with you every day, it's just that we're a little scared. The outside world is so complicated. Even Xiaoye has encountered so many things. We... should learn more about the outside world before we go out. You take Xiaoye out, and once you rent a house and set up the magic circle in the room, you can come back anytime. Isn't that the same?"

Ye Tianya knew that the two women had a fear of the outside world, and Bing Shuang was right. Once they found a place to stay and set up the magic circle, the place would be connected to Tianya Valley. All it would take was a little bit of magic power to pass through the spatial gate. So he didn't insist that the two women stay.

Ye Tianya waited another half month before carrying the sleeping Xingye through the magic circle and appearing in the city hospital garden. Last time, he had concealed the magic circle on the garden wall. Luckily, it was night when Ye Tianya emerged from the magic circle, and no one was in the garden, so he didn't attract attention.

Ye Tianya reassembled the magic circle, carried Xingye, and slipped out of the hospital. He flagged down a taxi at the entrance and told the driver, "Go wherever you can buy a wheelchair."

The driver looked at Ye Tianya like he was a monster, hesitating to start the car. Ye Tianya asked, puzzled, "Sir, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing. I just haven't seen anyone dye their hair and eyebrows white before," the driver said sheepishly, before starting the car.

Ye Tianya then remembered that his hair and eyebrows had turned completely white when he broke through to the fourth level of the Chaos Technique while saving Xingye, but he was too lazy to explain to the driver. He simply tightened his grip on Xingye and used his other hand to call Lin Siyin.

"Hello, Siyin, did you buy the house yet?"

"I bought it a long time ago, and it's already renovated. It's just that I can't get a signal when I call you. Where are you? When are you coming back?" Lin Siyin asked excitedly on the phone.

Ye Tianya said calmly, "I'm in S City. Tell me where the house is, and then we can go see it tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay, it's in the Shangri-La community. I bought you a four-bedroom, two-living-room apartment. The paperwork was done on the spot. And I've already renovated it according to your requirements, and all the furniture is bought. Now we just need clothes and bedding." Lin Siyin said on the other end of the phone.

Ye Tianya said gratefully, "Thank you, Siyin. How about we meet at the entrance of Shangri-La at nine o'clock tomorrow morning?"

"Okay, I'll be there on time." Lin Siyin said happily.

Ye Tianya's phone call woke Xingye.

"Brother, where are we? Are we going to our new house?" Xingye remembered the new house Ye Tianya had mentioned.

Ye Tianya gently smoothed Xingye's messy hair and said softly, "Xiaoye, let's buy you a wheelchair first, then find a hotel to stay in. We'll go see our new home first thing tomorrow morning, okay?"

"No, I don't want to sit in a wheelchair! I just want you to carry me, brother! Are you going to leave me in that wheelchair and not care about me anymore?" Xingye pouted.

Ye Tianya quickly said, "No, Xiaoye, listen to me. Brother isn't leaving you behind. It's just that carrying you for so long is tiring. I'll buy you a wheelchair, and I'll push you around. I promise I won't leave you behind, okay?" "

You promise?"

"I promise!" Ye Tianya tenderly stroked Xingye's hair.

"Then, pinky promise!" Xingye innocently extended her little finger towards Ye Tianya.

Ye Tianya had no choice but to extend his little finger and make a pinky promise with Xingye. Xingye smiled and recited, "Pinky promise, a hundred years, never to change."

Ye Tianya hugged Xingye tightly, murmuring, "A thousand years, ten thousand years, never to change."

If it could be as eternal as time, then it would be eternal. Ye Tianya had made up his mind from the moment Xingye woke up: even a god could not take Xingye away from him. Of course, he could not abandon her.

At the wheelchair market, Ye Tianya chose a newly released wheelchair with an electric motor for Xingye. The person sitting in it could control the direction and speed, although the fastest speed could not exceed a normal person's jogging.

When Xingye sat in the soft wheelchair, she tightly held onto Ye Tianya's clothes, looking at him worriedly, as if afraid he would disappear in the blink of an eye. Ye Tianya felt a pang of pain in his heart and quickly smiled at her, "Little Ye, brother is here watching you. Try to see if you can control this chair."

Only then did Xingye let go of Ye Tianya's hand and, under the guidance of the staff, learned how to start the motor, how to control the direction, and how to control the speed. Clever as Xingye was, she quickly mastered it. The staff wanted her to practice a little longer, but as soon as she learned, Xingye moved her wheelchair next to Ye Tianya and clung tightly to his clothes again.

"Xiaoye, I promised I wouldn't leave. Come on, I'll take you to buy some nice things," Ye Tianya said, pushing her along with a pained expression. He paid and walked out, and Xingye kept turning back to make sure it was Ye Tianya pushing her.

Along the way, many people stared at the two of them curiously. A boy dressed entirely in white, pushing a girl in white in a wheelchair—this wouldn't have been particularly interesting in itself. What was intriguing was that the boy was dressed entirely in white, from head to toe, including his hair and eyebrows, which were the same silver-white as his clothes. Even more intriguing was the girl in the wheelchair, who, despite looking seventeen or eighteen, acted like a seven or eight-year-old girl, clutching a pure white teddy bear and licking a cotton candy, curiously observing the street scene and occasionally letting out innocent giggles.

"Xiao Ye, do you know what those four-wheeled things are?"

"They're cars. I also know that one's a Ferrari, the one in front is an Audi, that one coming from over there is a Hongqi, and that one is a BMW."

"Then, Xiao Ye, do you recognize those flashing words over there?"

"Yes, it's 'Huaxuan Bathhouse'."

Ye Tianya's heart skipped a beat. Xing Ye had lost her memory, but it seemed she hadn't forgotten what she had learned before; she still recognized those words. So he asked again, "Xiao Ye, what is Newton's Third Law?"

"I know, action and reaction, right? Brother? You ask me such a childish question; you really look down on Xiao Ye." Xing Ye pouted her innocent little mouth and said unhappily.

Ye Tianya was delighted again and quickly said, "Sorry, then let me ask you one more question: what is the derivative of the sine function?"

"The cosine function!" Xing Ye answered crisply. The question Ye Tianya asked was something he had only learned in university. After hearing Xing Ye's answer, Ye Tianya was certain of one thing: Xing Ye might have forgotten her past, forgotten the people she had known, but she hadn't forgotten what she had seen and learned before.

Ye Tianya asked Xingye several more questions about her university studies and knowledge, and she answered fluently each time. Confirming this possibility, Ye Tianya was pleased; at least Xingye hadn't completely forgotten the past and there was still hope of remembering past events and people.

That night, Ye Tianya and Xingye stayed at the Hongyan Hotel on Nanjing Road. Xingye refused to have a room by herself, insisting on squeezing in with Ye Tianya. She wouldn't tolerate him disappearing from her sight for even a second, let alone having a room alone.

After getting into bed, Xingye snuggled into Ye Tianya's arms and soon fell into a deep sleep. Ye Tianya held Xingye, inhaling the fragrance of her hair, his thoughts swirling, until he finally fell asleep after 1 a.m.

Chapter Seventy-Nine: Heartbreaking Performance

Early the next morning, Ye Tianya saw that Xingye was still sleeping soundly. He got up, washed himself, and then brought water to the bedside, gently patting Xingye awake.

"Good morning, little sleepyhead," Ye Tianya greeted Xingye with a smile after waking her.

"Good morning, lazy cat, hehe," Xingye giggled as she woke up and reached out her little hand to tickle Ye Tianya. Ye Tianya grabbed her hand, picked her up, and sat her on his lap. While washing Xingye's face, he chuckled, "Alright, stop it, stop it. We're all clean now, and we're going to see our new house today."

Hearing about seeing their new house, Xingye stopped struggling to tickle Ye Tianya and suddenly asked, "Brother, where are Sister Xue and Sister Shuang? Why aren't they here?" Xingye looked around as she asked.

"They're still at their old home. We're buying our new house first, and they'll come in a while. What, you miss them already?" Ye Tianya asked with a smile.

Xingye blushed suddenly upon hearing this and whispered, "Brother, what should I do? I...I need...to...pee."

Ye Tianya was taken aback and felt a headache coming on. Although Xingye's mind had returned to that of a seven or eight-year-old, she still knew how to be shy. Back in Tianya Valley, Bing Shuang and Bing Xue had taken care of her every need, so it was no wonder he had to ask them when he needed to relieve himself.

"I'll go get a waiter to help you," Ye Tianya stood up, intending to put Xingye down and go out to call for help, but Xingye clung to him tightly, saying, "No...I don't want them to help me. I...Brother, carry me in and put me on the toilet so I can do it myself."

Ye Tianya was helpless. If a stranger were to carry Xingye to urinate, she would probably refuse even if it meant death. So he did as Xingye said, carrying her into the bathroom, placing her on the toilet, and then backing out.

After a while, Xingye called from inside, "Okay, brother, come in."

Ye Tianya pushed open the door and entered. Xingye sat on the toilet, her face flushed, looking at Ye Tianya with bright, innocent eyes. Ye Tianya glanced at her; her clothes were all tidied up. Xingye's feet couldn't touch the ground, but her hands had fully recovered. Putting on and taking off her pants was a little difficult, but she could manage it while sitting.

Ye Tianya picked her up, flushed the toilet, and went back to the room. Xingye said shyly in a soft voice, "Brother, you mustn't tell the sisters, they'll laugh at me."

"Tell them what?" Ye Tianya asked, puzzled.

Xingye blushed and said, "It's... it's about you carrying me to the toilet this morning. You promise you won't tell Sister Xue and Sister Shuang, okay?"

Ye Tianya laughed. Xingye's shy appearance made Ye Tianya's heart flutter, but the thought that she had amnesia and didn't remember that he used to be her lover caused him a sharp pain in his heart.

"Okay... I won't tell, I promise I won't tell, alright?" Ye Tianya forced a smile.

Lin Siyin arrived at the entrance of the Shangri-La residential complex early in the morning. She came alone today, not wanting her assistant and bodyguards to know who Ye Tianya was—this was Ye Tianya's request. Perhaps she was too impatient; she arrived almost half an hour early, but those half hours felt like half a day. She constantly searched around, until exactly nine o'clock, when she finally saw a white figure pushing a wheelchair towards them. The white figure was incredibly eye-catching, mainly because of his gleaming silver-white hair.

"Tianya—" Lin Siyin rushed towards the white figure, calling out from afar.

But when she got closer and saw a girl in white sitting in the wheelchair, hugging a teddy bear and sucking on a lollipop, she froze. She stared at the girl in disbelief, as if confirming that this wasn't a dream.

"Star—Starry Night?" Lin Siyin stammered.

"Big sister, how did you know my name is Xingye? I heard you call brother 'Tianya,' so he must have told you my name. Do you want some candy? Here, take this," Xingye said innocently to Lin Siyin, handing her a lollipop.

Lin Siyin was still dazed and didn't quite understand. She mechanically reached out and took the candy from Xingye, glancing at Xingye and then at Ye Tianya.

"Sister Siyin, it's been a long time. Xingye has amnesia and doesn't remember much about the past," Ye Tianya said with a faint smile.

Lin Siyin finally came to her senses and came to her senses. When she saw Ye Tianya's white hair, tears streamed down her face, and she choked out, "Tianya... your hair... so what Lan Yu said was true."

"Sister, what's wrong? Are you unhappy? Don't cry, I'll let you play with the teddy bear, okay? Don't cry!" Xingye looked at Lin Siyin anxiously. Seeing her crying, Xingye also started to cry. She turned back to Ye Tianya and said, "Brother, what's wrong with this sister? Please comfort her!"

Lin Siyin saw that Xingye was also crying, so she quickly stopped crying, squatted down, and took Xingye's hand, saying, "Xiaoye, sister won't cry. Sister is crying because she's so happy to see Xiaoye again. Xiaoye won't cry anymore, okay?"

Seeing that Lin Siyin had stopped crying, Xingye slowly stopped crying as well. She took the candy from Lin Siyin's hand, peeled off the wrapper, and handed it to her, still choking back tears, saying, "Sister, Xiaoye will peel the candy for you to eat. Don't cry, Xiaoye won't cry either. Sister, what's your name? Do you know brother?"

Seeing Xingye like this, Lin Siyin couldn't help but have tears welling up in her eyes again. Ye Tianya, standing behind Xingye, also showed a pained expression on his face. Lin Siyin couldn't hold back her tears any longer. She quickly took the lollipop Xingye offered and put it in her mouth, and tears finally welled up again.

"Sister, why are you crying again?" Xingye asked anxiously.

"Sister is happy. Xiaoye is such a good girl. How about I take you to see our new house?" Lin Siyin said while wiping her tears, but found that the more she wiped, the more tears she shed. She quickly stood up, took the wheelchair handle from Ye Tianya, and pushed it from behind, not wanting Xingye to see her tears. When her eyes met Ye Tianya's, there was an unconcealable sadness in them.

"Okay, okay, sister, how did you know we wanted to see our new house?" Xingye became happy again when she heard about seeing our new house. Ye Tianya felt even more heartbroken when he saw Lin Siyin's appearance. He continued, "Xiaoye, it was brother who asked this sister to help us look at houses. Don't ask so many questions. Let's go see our new house first, okay?"

"Okay, okay, let's go, brother, hurry up!" Xingye cheered and urged her on. Lin Siyin, tears welling in her eyes, pushed Xingye in her wheelchair. Ye Tianya gently patted Lin Siyin's shoulder, handed her a pack of tissues, and then took the wheelchair, softly saying, "Siyin, we're all alright, don't cry."

Lin Siyin followed behind, only stopping her tears after using up a whole pack of tissues. She led Ye Tianya and Xingye towards the entrance of the residential complex, leaving behind astonished faces of curious passersby.

Lin Siyin had chosen a single-story apartment of over 200 square meters, with four bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen, and one bathroom, located on the fifth floor of Building A in the Shangri-La complex. In just half a month, Lin Siyin had it completely renovated. Following Ye Tianya's instructions, she decorated the rooms with a clean white color scheme. After entering the apartment, Xingye excitedly propelled her wheelchair to explore each room.

Taking advantage of this lull, Lin Siyin's eyes welled up with tears again. She walked up to Ye Tianya, looking at his white hair with heartache, and choked out, "Tianya, your hair..."

Ye Tianya smiled faintly and said, "Sister Siyin, I'm fine. I'm sorry to have worried you."

Lin Siyin's eyes reddened, and large tears fell. "You still know I was worried about you. Why did you leave for so long without any news? I thought you really did what Lan Yu said, that you died for Xingye?"

Seeing Lin Siyin's genuine emotions, Ye Tianya couldn't help but gently wipe away her tears, feeling guilty. He said, "I'm sorry. I went to a remote place to save Xingye. I couldn't contact her. Xiaoye is still alive. How could I die for her?" Ye Tianya forced a bitter smile. Xingye was still alive, but she was no longer the sensible and gentle Xingye of the past. She was now a little girl who needed to be taken care of. But as long as she was alive, Ye Tianya was already grateful to heaven and earth.

Lin Siyin was enjoying Ye Tianya's gentle wiping of her tears. Xingye's voice rang out from behind.

"Brother, did you bully sister again? Why is she crying again?" Xingye's wheelchair reappeared in their sight, and she looked at Ye Tianya with some anger. It seemed she was upset that Ye Tianya had made Lin Siyin cry again.

"It's okay, Xiaoye, sister isn't crying. Sister just has sand in her eyes. Come on, sister will push you to the balcony to see the scenery." Lin Siyin wiped away her tears and forced a smile as she pushed Xingye to the balcony. Xingye naively thought Lin Siyin had sand in her eyes. She didn't ask any more questions. She excitedly looked around.

Chapter 80 Tianya Returns

Ye Tianya looked at the whole house. From the decoration to the furniture, everything was very exquisite. It seemed that Lin Siyin must have put in a lot of effort. There was a TV and a refrigerator, everything was complete, only the bed sheets and blankets were missing. But with such a big house, Ye Tianya had to take care of Xingye and might have to go to school. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to take care of her all. So she had to say to Lin Siyin, who had just come in, "Siyin, there's something else I might need to trouble you with."

"What is it? Tell me," Lin Siyin said, pushing Xingye towards Ye Tianya. By now, her mood had calmed down considerably. One thing that made her happiest was that, so far, she was probably the only one among Ye Tianya's acquaintances who knew he was still alive. This had made Lin Siyin happy for a long time.

"It seems I still hold a certain place in his heart," was the first thought that came to Lin Siyin's mind when she received Ye Tianya's call.

Ye Tianya, unaware of Lin Siyin's thoughts, said, "This house might need a housekeeper. Xiaoye and I went to buy blankets and sheets today. Do you think it would be alright if you could find us a housekeeper at the labor market when you have time?"

"No problem, that's not difficult. But do you have any requirements for the housekeeper?" Lin Siyin asked.

Ye Tianya thought for a moment and said, "The requirements are: a simple and clean background, meticulousness, and most importantly, consideration for Xiaoye's situation. You decide."

Lin Siyin thought for a moment, nodded in understanding, and then the three of them left the Shangri-La residential area. Ye Tianya and Xingye wanted to go back to school to check if their student records were still valid, while Lin Siyin

went to the labor market. ~~ ...

"If one day something happens to me, will you turn white-haired overnight like Ye Tianya?"

"If one day something happens to me, will you die for me like Ye Tianya?"

These are the most common questions that girls in love in China ask boys. Savvy boys would say, "Pah, pah, pah, you jinx! My darling will always be safe and sound, how could anything happen to her?"

Foolish boys, of course, would confidently declare, "Of course I will, because without you, there is no value in my existence," secretly planning that if their girlfriend really did die, they would just dye their hair white.

Walking through the Chinese campus again, Ye Tianya was filled with emotion.

"I wonder if Yin Chao, Sima Ruyan, Nangong Qian'er, Ouyang Xin'er, and Murong Piaoxue are all doing well?" Ye Tianya wondered. Wherever they passed, everyone who saw him stared in surprise at his silver hair.

"Brother, I feel like I've been here before. Did you take me here when I was little?" Xingye asked from the wheelchair Ye Tianya was pushing.

Ye Tianya was overjoyed to hear this. Xingye still vaguely remembered the Huaxia campus, which meant her memory might have been stimulated by past events and recovered. He happily said, "Xiaoye, this is where you went to school. Look carefully again and see if you can remember. This is Huaxia University, where you went to college."

Xingye frowned and tried to remember, but suddenly clutched her head and cried in pain.

"What's wrong, Xiaoye?" Ye Tianya was startled and squatted down to ask.

"It hurts, brother, Xiaoye's head hurts so much, Xiaoye can't remember," Xingye cried painfully.

Ye Tianya quickly said, "Don't think about it anymore, Xiaoye. If you can't remember, don't think about it anymore. We can think about it slowly later, okay?" Ye Tianya hurriedly persuaded her.

It was only with great difficulty that Ye Tianya managed to calm Xingye down. She stopped crying out in pain when suddenly someone beside her exclaimed, "I remember now! It's Ye Tianya, the Ye Tianya whose hair turned white overnight! And Xingye! Xingye didn't die! Xingye is back!" Xingye had already become famous throughout the school after going to Lincheng to fight for Ye Tianya's exoneration, and now she was recognized at a glance. This revelation

caused a huge stir. The name Ye Tianya, which had become a legendary love story on campus, suddenly resurfaced after being forgotten for several months. The news of Ye Tianya's return spread like wildfire.

"Didn't he commit suicide for love? How come he's back? So the suicide pact was fake!" said classmate A. "Idiot! Xingye didn't die either, and she's back too. But Xingye is in a wheelchair. If Xingye didn't die, why would he commit suicide for love?" said classmate B.

Girl C said, "But his hair really is silver-white. His head turned white overnight. What a devoted boy! If only I could..." Classmate D interrupted

, "You 're just being a fangirl . Let's go see." ~~ ... "Brother, why are so many people looking at us? I'm scared," Xingye said nervously, grabbing Ye Tianya's hand as he pushed the wheelchair. Her frail body huddled tightly inside the wheelchair, she looked in fear at the growing number of classmates who had come to the roadside to look at them curiously. Ye Tianya knew that someone must have leaked the news that Xingye had been in an accident and given a death sentence by the hospital. Now that Xingye had suddenly returned, her classmates were curious. However, Ye Tianya didn't want Xingye to know that she had 'died' once, so he said, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoye, your brother is here. They're here to welcome you back to school. Didn't I tell you? You forgot a lot of things after your fall last time, but they still remember you." Xingye asked suspiciously, "Really?" Ye Tianya nodded and said, "Of course it's true." As soon as Ye Tianya finished speaking, Xingye did something that Ye Tianya didn't expect. She sat up straight, waved the teddy bear in her hand, and loudly announced to the curious classmates around her, "Hello everyone, I'm back!" Ye Tianya was shocked. He hadn't expected Xingye to do this. If these people ignored Xingye, he wouldn't be able to explain that they were welcoming her back. What Ye Tianya didn't expect was that the students actually waved and said, "Welcome back, Xingye!" Ye Tianya looked at the students in surprise, almost speechless. Xingye giggled in her wheelchair, "Brother, they really recognize me, hehe, hehehe, so funny." Ye Tianya broke out in a cold sweat, gave the students beside him a grateful look, and pushed Xingye away from the troublesome place quickly.

However, people kept watching them curiously along the way until Ye Tianya entered the office building of the online academy. He was going to find Li Lanyu to check if her student status was still valid.

Li Lanyu was chatting and laughing happily with a very handsome male teacher. When she saw Ye Tianya appear at the office door, her playful fists stopped in mid-air, and she stared blankly at Ye Tianya pushing Xingye in. Her eyes were filled with surprise, disbelief, and something else she couldn't quite put her finger on. Ye Tianya didn't notice the complexity in her eyes; he had seen that look once before with Lin Siyin.

"Tian—Tian—Tianya, Xingye, you, you're all still alive?!" Like Lin Siyin, tears welled up in Li Lanyu's eyes, and her gaze fell on Xingye.

Ye Tianya gave a faint smile: "Teacher Li, long time no see."

"Yes, long time no see," Li Lanyu murmured, then suddenly remembered something and went berserk. She rushed towards Ye Tianya, ignoring his wheelchair, and began punching and kicking him, crying and cursing: "You bastard, you bastard, where have you been? What kind of training did you go to? You came back without saying a word and left! You made us worry so much! If you wanted to die, you should have just died! What are you doing back here?"

Ye Tianya didn't dodge, letting Li Lanyu punch and kick him. This was typical of Li Lanyu's personality; his disappearance for so long without a word had indeed worried her.

"Don't hit my brother! Please don't hit my brother!" Xingye cried out, frightened by Li Lanyu, turning her wheelchair around and grabbing Li Lanyu from behind, crying and pleading.

In Chapter

81 of Volume 5, Li Lanyu's boyfriend,

Li Lanyu stopped and looked at Xingye in surprise. She then remembered that Xingye hadn't greeted her when she came in. Just as she was about to greet her, Xingye's face hardened with rage as she said, "Who are you? Why did you hit my brother? My brother kindly called you 'teacher.' Does being a teacher give you the right to hit students?"

Li Lanyu looked at the girl glaring at her with tears in her eyes. This was the girl she used to go shopping and eat with, Ye Tianya's girlfriend, but now she looked at her with such unfamiliar eyes.

"Xiaoye, what's wrong? Don't you recognize me? I'm Sister Lanyu!" Li Lanyu looked at Xingye in surprise.

"I don't care who you are! Hitting my brother is unacceptable! You... you apologize!" Xingye glared angrily at Li Lanyu. Ye Tianya rushed forward and said, "Xiaoye, don't cry. Teacher Li is just joking with me. Please stop crying."

While wiping Xingye's tears, Ye Tianya said to Li Lanyu, "I'm sorry, Teacher Li, we've worried you. Xiaoye had an accident last time, and she doesn't remember many people or things from before. Please don't take it to heart."

"Amnesia?!" Li Lanyu looked at Xingye in surprise and said, "Xiaoye, what's wrong? Do you really not remember me?"

After Ye Tianya wiped away Xingye's tears, she looked at Li Lanyu again, and after a while, shook her head and said, "I can't remember. Since you knew me before, please don't hit my brother anymore, okay? I'll give you candy."

Hearing Xingye's last sentence, all the teachers in the office who had been curiously watching Ye Tianya laughed. Ye Tianya quickly apologized to Li Lanyu, "Teacher, Xiaoye's mental age is about eight years old now. Please don't take it to heart." When Ye Tianya said this, he couldn't hide the bitterness in his heart. His pain was written all over his face.

"Brother, Xiaoye is already eighteen years old. I've been telling you for so long, why can't you remember?" Xingye persisted when Ye Tianya said her mind was only that of an eight-year-old. Ye Tianya quickly said, "Yes, yes, brother has a bad memory. Xiaoye, don't be angry. Teacher doesn't eat candy, so please put your candy away."

"Teacher, you don't eat candy? Then I'll put it away!" Xingye asked Li Lanyu innocently.

Seeing Xingye like this, Li Lanyu couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. She held back her tears and squatted down, saying, "Sister doesn't eat it, Xiaoye, don't worry. Sister was just joking with your brother."

Xingye was relieved. She ignored Li Lanyu and continued eating her lollipop while hugging her teddy bear. Li Lanyu stood up, staring at Ye Tianya's white hair. Ye Tianya knew it was the white hair again. Before she could speak, he asked, "Teacher, is my student record still valid?"

Li Lanyu was about to say something, but Ye Tianya's question made her hesitate. "I don't know. Your student record was transferred out of the academy when you registered for the training camp. Your administrative class has been changed; you're no longer in the Network Class 1. You'll have to go to the principal's office to ask."

At this moment, the handsome man who had been playfully teasing Li Lanyu walked over and extended his hand to Ye Tianya, saying, "Hello, Ye Tianya, my name is Zheng Guorong, Teacher Li's boyfriend." As he spoke, the man pulled Li Lanyu into a light embrace. Ye Tianya could actually detect the taunting tone in his voice. Ye Tianya remembered how excited Li Lanyu had been when she saw him earlier; no wonder her boyfriend was showing off.

Ye Tianya reached out and shook hands with him, saying, "Hello, I'm Teacher Li's student, Ye Tianya. It's a pleasure to meet you." After saying this, Ye Tianya looked at Li Lanyu, but Li Lanyu kept her head down. Ye Tianya said, "Teacher Li, then I'll go to the principal's office first. Goodbye," and turned to push Xingye out the door. Li Lanyu called him back after Ye Tianya had already left.

"You—" Li Lanyu started to say, but didn't continue. Her eyes were filled with something Ye Tianya couldn't understand. Ye Tianya turned back to look at her, waiting for her to continue.

"It's nothing, you can go ahead and do your work," Li Lanyu said. Ye Tianya didn't know what she wanted to say, but since she didn't say anything, he could only say goodbye again before pushing Xingye away.

Li Lanyu stared blankly at Ye Tianya's departing figure until the man beside her said gently, "Xiaoyu, he's already gone."

"Ah... oh," Li Lanyu finally came to her senses and looked apologetically at Zheng Guorong beside her, "I'm sorry, someone I thought was dead suddenly appeared, and I wasn't quite there to react."

Zheng Guorong smiled and said, "Yes, but you and Ye Tianya used to have a good relationship, right? You hit him like that when you met him."

Li Lanyu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly laughed, "What, are you jealous of a student? Or should I hit you like that too?"

Although she was smiling on the surface, Li Lanyu felt an indescribable sourness in her heart. Ye Tianya's sudden arrival had completely disrupted her state of mind. She had thought Ye Tianya was dead, but he had appeared. She was grieving after hearing the news that Ye Tianya had committed suicide for love when this senior named Zheng Guorong, who had been pursuing her for a year, appeared by her side again. Feeling his thoughtful care, she agreed to be his girlfriend. But now, Ye Tianya had returned.

During Ye Tianya's disappearance, Li Lanyu finally realized that she had truly fallen for this student. Now that he was back, she was momentarily flustered and her mind was in turmoil.

"How could I be jealous of a student?" Zheng Guorong smiled politely and said, "Let's go, Xiaoyu, didn't we agree to go shopping on Nanjing Road together?"

Li Lanyu nodded, packed her things, and walked out of the office with Zheng Guorong. But in her heart, she was thinking about the boy who always complained about being tired when shopping. Why did Zheng Guorong enjoy accompanying her shopping so much, while Ye Tianya was so afraid of shopping? Li Lanyu couldn't understand.

For some reason, when Ye Tianya heard that Li Lanyu had a boyfriend, he suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.

"What's wrong with me?" Ye Tianya couldn't help but ask himself.

"Maybe it's because I can't argue with her anymore," Ye Tianya explained to himself.

As Ye Tianya walked out of the Network Academy's office building, amidst the curious gazes of passing students, he pushed Xingye towards the administration building, only to be stopped at the entrance by four girls. These four girls were members of the Flying Dragon team. They had predicted Ye Tianya would come to the administration building, so they waited for him at the entrance.

"Captain—" the four girls cried out almost simultaneously, choking with emotion.

Ye Tianya couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion upon seeing the four girls again. Sima Ruyan was calling him "Captain" for the first time since losing her virginity to him.

"You're all here! It's been so long! How are you all?" Ye Tianya greeted them with a smile. He had never smiled during training, but this smile, combined with his white hair, brought tears to the eyes of the four girls.

"No, we missed you too!" Nangong Qian'er cried first, walking towards Ye Tianya, about to throw herself at him in front of everyone. Just then, Xingye's voice saved Ye Tianya once again.

"Brother, why do all the sisters cry after seeing you?" Xingye asked innocently. Xingye's voice came at the perfect moment. No one had time to wonder why Xingye could call out so quickly.

Only then did the four girls who had been watching Ye Tianya notice Xingye's presence. Nangong Qian'er also stopped. She looked at the girl who had been given a death sentence in surprise. She remembered the school had already expelled her, but it turned out she was alive, just as her classmates had said.

"Xingye, hello!" The four girls greeted Xingye while wiping away their tears. "You know me too? Looks like I'm not just ordinary famous, am I, brother?" Xingye smiled innocently and turned back to Ye Tianya.

Ye Tianya forced a smile and said to Xingye, "Yes, Xiaoye is more famous than her brother. Say hello to the older sisters, don't be so rude." Ye Tianya's tone was completely like talking to a child, which surprised the four girls. However, Xingye then said to the four girls, "Hello, sisters, would you like some candy? Xiaoye will peel some for you." Xingye then reached into her pocket to take out her favorite lollipop. This almost made the four girls drop their jaws. Murong Piaoxue even stopped wiping her tears and looked at Xingye curiously.

Ye Tianya quickly said, "Xiaoye, don't peel it, the sisters don't eat candy."

"Why don't the sisters eat candy? That sister just now didn't eat any either, it was so delicious!" Xingye asked Ye Tianya, puzzled.

Ye Tianya didn't know how to answer Xingye. After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "Well... well, the older sisters have all eaten too much. Once you've eaten more, you won't want to eat anymore."

Xingye said, "Oh, I see. Then I won't eat too much. I'll only eat one a day, and then I won't eat too much, and I'll crave candy every day."

Ye Tianya felt a pang of sadness and looked apologetically at the four girls, saying, "I'm sorry for making you worry. I've been away for so long taking Xiaoye to get treatment, and I haven't been able to contact you all. Actually, I miss you all very much."

—————————————————————————————————— Next Episode: Ye Tianya finds the principal and learns that Xingye's student status has been canceled due to the hospital's death certificate………………

Chapter 82 Reunion with the Principal

The four girls' eyes welled up with tears again after hearing his words. Sima Ruyan stepped forward with tears in her eyes and said, "It's good that you're back. We heard that you might... you might have committed suicide for her... We've all... we've been looking for you for months."

Ye Tianya knew that the 'she' she was referring to was Xingye. He smiled wryly, "How could I? I still have so many responsibilities to fulfill. Besides, isn't Xiao Ye perfectly fine?" Ye Tianya's "responsibilities" originally referred to Bing Shuang and Bing Xue, but to Sima Ruyan and the other four women, it had a completely different meaning.

The four women all thought he was going to take responsibility for them, and their faces flushed red. Seeing their reddened faces, Ye Tianya realized his words had been misinterpreted. He wanted to explain, but it was too late. If he said he wasn't taking responsibility for them, he would hurt them deeply. Ye Tianya had no choice but to change the subject, asking Sima Ruyan, "Ruyan, do you know if my student status is still valid?"

Hearing Ye Tianya call her name, Sima Ruyan felt a surge of sweetness. Among the four women, she knew that Nangong Qian'er might be Ye Tianya's most favored teammate, but she was definitely his most trusted. She composed herself before saying, "Yes, she's still here. We've already asked the principal for leave on your behalf. He wants you to go see him as soon as you get back."

Ye Tianya nodded and said, "Then—I'll go in now. You guys go back first. I'll contact you again later when I'm done dealing with this. Also, please help me find Brother Xu. I want to know the truth about that matter." In front of Xingye, Ye Tianya didn't mention "the truth about Xingye's incident," but only said "the truth." He didn't want the innocent Xingye to have any worries.

After the four girls left reluctantly, Ye Tianya pushed Xingye into the administration building, his mind filled with the longing in their eyes. He felt a strange heaviness in his heart. Ye Tianya had overheard the plans of these four girls from special families when they were in the jungle last time. He wasn't stupid; he could see what they were thinking. But when he thought of the frost and snow in Tianya Valley, and Xingye, who was now as innocent as an eight-year-old child, he didn't know how to handle this mess.

Sighing, Ye Tianya shook his head, clearing his mind of the tangled mess, and pushed Xingye into the elevator.

Outside the principal's office sat Secretary Chen. This time, he seemed less angry than before when he saw Ye Tianya, only asking as Ye Tianya was about to enter, "Ye Tianya, have you seen your counselor?"

"Yes, I have. What's wrong, Secretary Chen? Is there anything else?" Ye Tianya asked, puzzled.

"Do you know she has a boyfriend?" Secretary Chen asked. Ye Tianya suddenly understood. He had been wondering why Secretary Chen had changed so drastically; it turned out he used to see him as a rival, and now that Li Lanyu had a boyfriend, he seemed to be trying to recruit someone to his side. Ye Tianya smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I know. I saw him just now. He's very handsome."

Secretary Chen looked at Ye Tianya with surprise at his nonchalant tone, but after a brief "Oh," he deflated like a punctuated balloon and headed towards the principal's office to announce Ye Tianya's arrival.

The principal was visibly excited when he saw Ye Tianya. But when he saw Xingye, his face was filled with shock.

"Xingye, weren't you already..." He couldn't finish his sentence; he couldn't very well tell Xingye that she was dead. Ye Tianya, fearing that Xingye was about to say something childish again, said in advance, "Principal, I left for so long to treat Xingye, but I still couldn't fully recover her. She doesn't remember much about her past."

The principal then understood why Xingye could still appear before him. He looked at Ye Tianya's hair, which was even whiter than his own, and sighed, "Young man, life is full of events and emotions. If you can relax a little, don't make yourself suffer too much."

Ye Tianya smiled faintly. He also wanted to relax a little, but he couldn't do that for Xingye.

The principal continued, "It's good that you're back. People outside are saying you committed suicide for love, and those four girls told me your hair turned white overnight. I didn't believe it at first, but now that you have this head of white hair before me, it's truly heartbreaking."

Ye Tianya felt the principal's concern and gratefully said, "Thank you for your concern. I wonder if my student status is still valid? I wonder if I'm still considered a student of Huaxia University?"

The principal smiled and said, "Normally, you would be expelled, but you've already chosen the training camp, so we can't let you leave easily. Besides, you had to leave to save Xingye, so the situation is special. Therefore, your student status is still valid. It's just that Xingye's condition, and the fact that his student status was cancelled after the hospital's judgment, means he no longer has student status."

Ye Tianya felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. So, Xingye was no longer a student of Huaxia University. But he still wanted to make one last effort, saying, "Principal, this kind of thing happened unexpectedly, and no one wanted it to happen. Although Xingye can't remember the people and events from before, she hasn't forgotten any of her previous knowledge, especially what she learned in university. I've tested her several times, and she remembers it very clearly. I'm wondering if it's possible to reinstate her student status."

The principal thought for a moment and said, "If Xingye truly remembers her previous knowledge as you say, then we can consider it. However, this matter needs to be discussed at the school's academic and administrative meeting before a decision can be made. Now that you're back, you need to work hard to catch up." " Will it be a problem if Sima Ruyan and the other three students attend classes with them in the special class?"

Ye Tianya thought for a moment. As long as there was a chance for Xingye to return to school, that would be fine. So he nodded and said, "No problem. It's just that I'll have to trouble the principal with Xingye's matter."

The principal smiled and nodded, "Alright, I'll do my best. This training camp was a success. The people from the four great families were appointed by the government, and you were the only one from our school who volunteered. You've brought honor to our school. This is the only way to plead with the other leaders in the school."

Ye Tianya thanked the principal gratefully before pushing Xingye away. As Xingye was leaving, she turned back to the principal and said, "Grandpa Principal, thank you for helping me and my brother. This teddy bear is my favorite. I'll give it to you now." She handed the teddy bear to the principal. Ye Tianya and the principal were both stunned. The principal came to his senses and smiled, "Then thank you, Xingye." The principal actually accepted the teddy bear from Xingye. This surprised Ye Tianya.

The principal noticed Ye Tianya's astonishment, smiled, and looked at the little teddy bear, saying, "It seems there's really no other way. I've already accepted Xingye's thank-you gift, so my colleagues will probably give me face and not make things difficult for me with Xingye."

Ye Tianya suddenly understood, gratefully bowed to the principal, and then left the principal's office. Xingye felt a little empty after leaving the principal's office and said somewhat uncomfortably, "Brother, I gave my teddy bear to Grandpa Principal. Can you buy me a bigger one?"

"Ah—" Ye Tianya broke out in a cold sweat. Xingye had given away the small one so she could get a bigger one.

With Xingye and his student status issue resolved, Ye Tianya needed to see his friend next. Yin Chao was probably the only friend he trusted. Ye Tianya called Yin Chao's dormitory, but no one answered. Ye Tianya then remembered that Yin Chao was probably still in class. Seeing that class was almost over, he pushed Xingye directly to his dormitory building to wait.

Yin Chao walked back carrying his books. His intuition told him that Ye Tianya hadn't died; he'd simply gone somewhere to grieve for Xingye's passing. He had always believed Ye Tianya would return. He remembered the unwavering look in Ye Tianya's eyes when he first grabbed his hand and said, "Count me in," after he declared his intention to change the world. He knew that one day Ye Tianya would return to change the world with him.

However, when he saw Ye Tianya waiting for him at the dormitory entrance, he was so shocked he almost dropped his books. It wasn't that he saw the Ye Tianya he believed would return, but rather Xingye sitting in a wheelchair pushed by Ye Tianya. Stunned, he didn't come to his senses until Ye Tianya pushed Xingye to him and called his name.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy to see us?" Ye Tianya asked with a faint smile.

Chapter 83 Butler Yang Meng

"What's going on?" Yin Chao looked at Xingye, not answering Ye Tianya's question, but asking directly in surprise that Xingye was still alive.

“Because of those incompetent doctors, but Xiao Ye has amnesia and can’t move his legs yet,” Ye Tianya said briefly. This explanation was one he had already prepared. Yin Chao was somewhat suspicious, but didn’t ask any further questions. Hearing that Xing Ye had amnesia, he looked at Xing Ye and said, “Xing Ye, do you remember me?”

Xing Ye looked at Yin Chao for a long time before shaking his head and saying, “I can’t remember. I’m sorry, it’s all my fault for not listening to me.”

A trace of pain flashed across Yin Chao’s face, and he quickly comforted Xing Ye, saying, “Don’t worry, Xing Ye, if you can’t remember, you can remember slowly later. It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back.” Yin Chao said “It’s good that you’re back” twice before looking at Ye Tianya and saying, “Everyone says you’ve already committed suicide for love.” But I knew you would come back and change the things in this world that needed changing, and you finally came back. What happened to your student status?

A glint flashed in Ye Tianya's eyes as he said, "The school kept it for me, and Xingye's might be reinstated too. Don't worry. By the way, it seems a lot of people know about us. Was it your doing?"

Yin Chao blushed and said apologetically, "It's my fault. Sisi found out and told her roommate, and it spread like wildfire until the whole school knew."

Ye Tianya looked at... Seeing Yin Chao's apologetic expression, Ye Tianya quickly said, "I didn't mean to blame you. If you have time, let's have dinner together tonight. Invite your Sisi too."

Mentioning He Sisi, Yin Chao blushed slightly and nodded, whispering, "You're not going to take Xingye back, are you?"

Ye Tianya knew he meant taking him back to the Lan family. A flash of anger crossed Ye Tianya's face as he said, "Don't worry, I won't. No one can make Xiaoye leave me, not even a god."

Xingye was curiously watching two classmates riding bicycles in the distance, unaware of Yin Chao and Ye Tianya's conversation. She suddenly looked up and asked, "Brother, I want to ride a bike too! I want to ride like those people!"

Ye Tianya felt a pang of pain in his heart and squatted down, saying, "Don't worry, Xiaoye, it will take some time before you can walk again. Then you can ride like them."

Hope and anticipation shone in Xingye's eyes as she said, "Then brother, I want to get better quickly. I want to walk again soon."

Ye Tianya comforted her with heartache, "As long as Xiaoye is obedient, she'll be able to ride a bike soon."

"I've always been obedient, haven't I, brother?" Xingye said, looking expectantly at Ye Tianya, waiting for his answer. Ye Tianya smiled and nodded, "Yes, Xiaoye has always been obedient, that's why brother said you'll be able to ride a bike soon."

Xingye smiled at Ye Tianya's answer. Yin Chaogang looked at Xingye's innocent and childish behavior in surprise, knowing that something must have happened, otherwise Xingye wouldn't be like this. So Ye Tianya pulled Ye Tianya aside, and Ye Tianya hurriedly said to Xingye, "Xiaoye, wait for your brother for a moment, okay? I'll just talk to Yin Chao for a few minutes."

Xingye shook her head vigorously, so Ye Tianya had to say again, "Xiaoye, are you being disobedient?"

Xingye nodded helplessly. Ye Tianya and Yin Chao had only walked a little away when Yin Chao looked in Xingye's direction and asked, "Xingye, what happened? What exactly happened?"

Ye Tianya said painfully, "Xiaoren has lost her memory. Her mind has reverted to that of a seven or eight-year-old. Right now, she only behaves like an eight-year-old girl. The meridians in her legs have atrophied because of the accident last time. I'm using my true energy to open them up little by little every night, but I don't know if she can fully recover."

Yin Chao groaned in pain upon hearing this. His anger intensified, and he said fiercely, "Last time you had that guy surnamed Xu investigate the truth behind Xingye's accident, and it seems he found out. Your four team members also seem to know, but they wouldn't tell me when I asked. You must know what happened, right? Tell me quickly, we must avenge Xingye!"

Ye Tianya shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. I haven't seen Brother Xu since I came back today. I'll only know when I see him. Don't worry, you'll be involved in this revenge." Yin Chao

calmed down a bit and said, "Alright, I just want you to remember what you once told me. Changing so many things in this world requires your participation. Don't forget, when the time comes, count me in too."

Ye Tianya nodded firmly.

Friends don't need many words; just a few words are enough for mutual understanding. A single gesture, a glance—that's true friendship

.

~~

... Ye Tianya had just finished lunch at a restaurant with Xingye in his stroller, and was about to call Sima Ruyan to ask about their class so he could catch up, when the phone rang.

"Tianya, I've found the person you wanted. I'm taking him to Shangri-La. When are you coming back to see if you're satisfied?" Lin Siyin said on the other end of the line.

Ye Tianya also needed to go back to pick up the four sets of bedding he'd bought, so he agreed to go back immediately and headed back with Xingye.

Ye Tianya was taken aback by the person Lin Siyin had found; she'd actually found a girl, who looked to be only a little older than him.

Seeing Ye Tianya frown, Lin Siyin quickly said, "Her name is Yang Meng. She used to be our neighbor. She graduated from high school, but her family went through some trouble. Her father passed away early, and her mother tragically died in a subway accident four years ago. She's been working as a nanny for over three years. She quit her last job because the employer tried to take advantage of her. She has a lot of experience in this field and is an excellent cook. I've known her personality and patience since I was a child, so there won't be any problem. Tianya, please give her this opportunity."

Ye Tianya was initially somewhat dissatisfied, but hearing how difficult Yang Meng's situation was, coupled with Lin Siyin's strong recommendation, and the fact that Lin Siyin had known her since childhood, implying a clean background, finally reassured him. So he nodded and said, "Alright, let her stay."

Hearing that Ye Tianya had agreed to let her stay and work, Yang Meng quickly said to him, "Thank you, Mr. Ye, thank you, Sister Lin. I will definitely do my best."

Ye Tianya smiled faintly and said, "Don't be so polite. Your task isn't heavy; it's just tidying up the house and cooking some meals." After saying that, Ye Tianya seemed to remember something and asked Lin Siyin, "Sister Siyin, have you discussed her salary with her?"

Lin Siyin nodded and said, "Yes, we have. Based on her previous work standards, I'll give her eight hundred yuan a month. You see…" Lin Siyin was a little worried that Ye Tianya would blame her for giving too much. She looked at Ye Tianya with concern. Ye Tianya said to Yang Meng, "You're probably a little older than me, so I'll call you Sister Meng. I'll give you a thousand yuan a month, but there's one condition: if you upset Xingye, or if Xingye has a problem with you, you leave immediately. However, even if you only work one day, I'll still give you a month's salary."

Yang Meng and Lin Siyin's expressions changed slightly. Yang Meng quickly said, "Don't worry, Mr. Ye, I'll do my best."

Lin Siyin was a little worried that Xingye might not like Yang Meng, so she squatted down and looked at Xingye, who was eating a lollipop, and said, "Xiaoye, from now on, this Sister Yang Meng will come to our house to cook for you. Do you like that?" Xingye looked up at Yang Meng and smiled, "

Hello, Sister Yang Meng, my name is Xingye. Are you really coming to our house to cook for me?"

Yang Meng looked at this girl, who was only two years younger than her but very innocent and naive. Before she came, she had heard Lin Siyin talk about her amnesia and felt sorry for her. Seeing her so innocent, she quickly squatted down and smiled, "Of course it's true! Miss Xingye, would you like me to cook for you?"

Chapter 84 The Dragon's Reverse Scale

Xingye clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, thank you, sister. I'll give you candy." Xingye took out a lollipop from her pocket and handed it to Yang Meng. Ye Tianya felt a pang of sadness and sweat. Xingye was so generous; she gave candy to everyone she met.

Ye Tianya thought Yang Meng wouldn't accept the candy, but to her surprise, she did, saying, "Thank you for the candy, Miss Xingye. I'll definitely make the best candy to repay you in the future."

Xingye happily smiled and said, "That's great! You're so kind, sister. I offered candy to the other sisters today, but they all refused, saying they were tired of it. Sister, you love candy just like me, now I have company."

Ye Tianya was taken aback. This Yang Meng really understood Xingye's psychology. Accepting the lollipop actually earned Xingye's approval. Just this one point greatly changed Ye Tianya's opinion of Yang Meng. Being able to grasp Xingye's psychology meant that she had taken care of many children in the past three years. If she had the patience to take care of children, then taking care of Xingye wouldn't be a problem.

At this moment, the doorbell rang. Yang Meng was the first to react, running over to open the door and asking, "This is the Ye family. Who are you looking for?"

Ye Tianya could tell from Yang Meng's reaction that she was truly experienced, and smiled at Lin Siyin with satisfaction. Lin Siyin finally felt relieved. The person ringing the doorbell said from outside, "We're from the furniture store. These are the bedding Mr. Ye Tianya ordered; we're delivering."

Before Yang Meng, who had turned back to report, could speak, Ye Tianya said, "Sister Meng, have them bring them in."

Having received the blankets and sheets, Ye Tianya was about to take them to the room to make the bed when Xingye yawned and stretched out her hands to Ye Tianya, saying, "Brother, hug me, Xiaoye wants to sleep."

Ye Tianya had no choice but to turn back, place the sheets and blankets on the sofa, pick Xingye up from her wheelchair, and sit on the sofa, gently stroking her hair to help her fall asleep comfortably.

Yang Meng and Lin Siyin both looked at Ye Tianya strangely. Ye Tianya looked at Xingye, who was asleep with her eyes closed in his arms, and smiled wryly at Lin Siyin, saying, "Siyin, you're busy, you can go now. Come over more often when you have time." Then

he said to Yang Meng, "Meng, please help me take those things to the room and make it up. You can choose a room yourself too."

Yang Meng said "Oh," and picked up the bed sheets that Ye Tianya was about to take into the room. Lin Siyin also had to leave the Shangri-La because she had company business and had to go to work in the afternoon. Before leaving, she glanced jealously at Xingye, who was sleeping in Ye Tianya's arms. She remembered Ye Tianya's words, "If you make Xingye unhappy, or if Xingye has a problem with you, you leave immediately." She knew that Xingye was Ye Tianya's Achilles' heel. Looking at the tenderness in Ye Tianya's eyes when he held Xingye, Lin Siyin wished that person was her instead.

At the same time, in Beijing, at the Security Headquarters, "What? Ye Tianya is back? When did this happen?" Old Han's pen trembled, and he scribbled on the document. He stood up excitedly and asked.

"I just got back today. I just received a report from Sima Ruyan of the Flying Dragon Team. And Xingye, who was given a death sentence by the hospital, has actually come back to life and appeared at school at the same time as Ye Tianya." Xu Keming could feel Han Lao's excitement even sitting at his desk.

"Oh?! So, Ye Tianya was treating Xingye during his disappearance? How could someone who was given a death sentence come back to life?" Han Lao asked in surprise.

"It might be a mistake by the hospital doctors," Xu Keming quickly replied.

"A mistake? So, their mistake left a life that could have been saved hanging there, waiting to die? Investigate who gave that death sentence. Can doctors like that still be kept in the hospital?" Han Lao said angrily.

Then, looking at Xu Keming, he said, "Get ready immediately and go back to S City to continue your work."

Xu Keming responded and was about to leave when Old Han called him back, saying, "Wait, take two more people with you, preferably a female security officer, to be responsible for Xingye's safety. Ye Tianya's hair turned white overnight; Xingye must be extremely important to him, possibly even his Achilles' heel. You must protect her well. If anything happens to Xingye, Ye Tianya might go berserk. Also, about his threat to massacre S City, go back and explain the truth to him. Don't let him do anything rash. You must keep a close eye on him." Old Han was worried that if Ye Tianya was driven mad and dropped a virus or two on the domestic network, and then disappeared again like this time, his men would be driven to madness.

"Yes, I'll go prepare right away." Xu Keming hurriedly left Old Han's office. After reporting to Old Long, he asked for two female assistants and rushed back to S City.

Because the renovation company cleaned the interior and exterior of the room before the client's inspection to ensure satisfaction, Yang Meng's workload was not heavy. After quickly tidying up the four rooms, she whispered to Ye Tianya, "Mr. Ye, you can take Miss Xingye to her room to sleep now."

Ye Tianya then carefully carried Xingye into the room, placed her on the bed Yang Meng had just made, and covered her with the blanket before coming out. Yang Meng was doing something in the kitchen. Ye Tianya remembered that the kitchen should be empty, and sure enough, a moment later Yang Meng came out and said, "Mr. Ye, there's nothing in the kitchen. I might have to go buy some things to keep, otherwise we can't make dinner.

" Ye Tianya was increasingly satisfied with Yang Meng's efficient work, so he took out a wad of cash and gave it to her, saying, "Take this first. See what you need and buy it. Xiaoye and I won't be home for dinner tonight, so buy whatever you want to eat and cook it yourself. Xiaoye is asleep now, I'll stay home and watch over her. Go buy your things first." Yang Meng

readily accepted the money and left. Ye Tianya leaned back on the sofa, reflecting on the morning's events. From Lin Siyin, to Li Lanyu, then to Sima Ruyan and the other four women, and finally Yin Chao—all those he was close to, except for Yin Chao, had given him tears. These tears made Ye Tianya feel that there were still people in this world who cared about him, and a warmth rose in his heart. He spent the entire afternoon sitting in the living room, reminiscing. From the time he could remember until the last time he sat in this living room, he quietly recalled everything. He couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of life. When he thought of Du Qing, Ding Junfeng, Liu Qiyun, Mo Jun, Fang Hua, and the others, Ye Tianya's heart surged again. A strong resentment filled his chest, almost bursting forth.

It wasn't that Ye Tianya didn't want revenge now; as for Ding Junfeng, Fang Hua, and the others, when did he want them to...? He was ready to die, and he wouldn't delay even a second. But he didn't want them to die so easily; that would be too easy for them. He had already made up his mind: he would let them experience poverty and destitution, let them experience being looked down upon.

Yang Meng returned after four hours, bringing a porter with her to carry large bags of things. Only when they were brought in did Ye Tianya notice that the bags were all kitchen supplies: oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, scallions, garlic, chili peppers, rice, fruit, vegetables, and everything else. There was even a bottle of purified water. Yang Meng had even thought of that. Ye Tianya couldn't help but admire the girl's efficiency, and his trust in Lin Siyin's abilities increased.

The middle-aged porter who carried the things in said to Yang Meng, "See? I told you I could deliver this by myself. Now you believe me, right?" The middle -

aged man's cheerful voice was quite loud. Ye Tianya frowned, about to tell him to be quiet so as not to disturb Xingye, when Xingye was already awakened in the room. He called out, "Brother, brother, I want to get up!"

Ye Tianya glared angrily at the middle-aged man before hurriedly going into the room.

Yang Meng was also startled when she heard Xingye being woken up by the middle-aged man. She quickly gave the man her wages and then pushed him towards the door, saying, "Brother, please leave quickly. You just woke up our little darling. Mr. Ye is already angry. Our little darling..." "If you get angry, I'll get fired!"

Seeing Yang Meng so nervous, the middle-aged man panicked. He had caused trouble by making a scene in someone else's house, so he quickly left. When Ye Tianya came out carrying the sleepy-eyed Xingye, Yang Meng was standing nervously in the living room, waiting for Ye Tianya's scolding.

Ye Tianya glanced at her and saw that she was looking down nervously, afraid to look at him. He knew she was afraid he was still angry, but Xingye was usually close to waking up anyway, so he didn't blame Yang Meng. He smiled and said, "Sister Meng, hurry up and pack up the things you bought." Hearing this

, Yang Meng knew she had been pardoned and breathed a sigh of relief as she hurried to get ready. Ye Tianya carried Xingye into the bathroom to wash her face.

Xingye, seeing the water, went wild again, splashing the water from her hands onto Ye Tianya's face while giggling. Her innocent laughter immediately filled the entire house.

"Stop it, or your brother will tickle you!" Ye Tianya tried to hold her with one arm while washing her face with the other, so he could only turn his head to dodge Xingye's attacks. His threats had no effect on Xingye. After washing her face, Ye Tianya was soaked, but he wasn't angry with Xingye at all. Instead, he indulged her playful antics. This scene shocked Yang Meng when she went to wash her hands in the bathroom.

She understood that Xingye was Ye Tianya's Achilles' heel, an inviolable taboo.
