Chapter 197 Qian'er's Life in Danger

The guy's eyes gleamed with lust. He ripped the towel out of one of the beauties' mouths. The beauty immediately begged for mercy, "Big brother, please don't shoot. That dark-faced guy wants money, but our family has it. As long as you let us go, my dad will give you money. Please!"

Upon hearing this, the guy on the inspection boat assumed that the four people were kidnapped by his acquaintance, Black Dog, who ran a gambling, drug, and prostitution ring. He thought that the police had suddenly requisitioned the boat, and he hadn't had time to transfer the hostages. His eyes gleamed with even more lust, and he chuckled, "Damn, that black dog really knows how to enjoy himself. He even kidnaps such beautiful girls. He never dreamed his ship would be requisitioned. God bless him, he wasn't caught by the police. He's lucky. For the sake of these beauties, I'll help you this once and for all. Take all this evidence out of international waters. Hehe, I never thought I'd have a chance to enjoy myself even while on the run. Little beauties, I won't let you go. Be good and wait here. Once the ship is out of international waters, I'll come and treat you well."

The guy stuffed the towel into the beauty's mouth again, then pinched her cheek with a satisfied grin before closing the partition wall again. He secretly thought that once they were out of international waters, he would present these four beauties to the boss, and see if the boss would look at him differently. To give his boss a surprise, he decided not to tell him yet. He carefully checked the ship inside and out again, and only after confirming everything was alright did he disembark to report to Hu Nanting that everything was fine on board. Unbeknownst to him, shortly after he closed the wall, the four girls inside pulled their hands back from behind their backs and deftly untied the ropes binding them and removed the towels from their mouths…

Hu Nanting boarded the boat with peace of mind. He didn't release Minister Tao but took him aboard as well. The police didn't expect Hu Nanting to release Minister Tao on the spot. Instead, as agreed with Hu Nanting, they had a policeman, whose body had been searched by Hu Nanting's men and confirmed to be unarmed, pilot the boat and follow them. Once they reached a safe area, they released Minister Tao and allowed the police to bring him back.

At the same time, as Hu Nanting requested, they withdrew all the marine police, allowing Hu Nanting to leave at his leisure.

After entering the cabin, Hu Nanting immediately ordered his men to set sail and had Minister Tao locked in the cabin. To prevent his talisman from jumping overboard and escaping, he assigned four men to take turns guarding the door.

Sima Ruyan hung all the equipment hidden behind her back onto her body, glanced back at Murong Piaoxue, Ouyang Xin'er, and Nangong Qian'er beside her. The four women were all ready. Sima Ruyan gave a signal to move out and led the charge, pulling the wall of the mezzanine back up. She walked lightly up the ship's passageway. When Ye Tianya was with the Flying Dragon Team, Sima Ruyan was the vice-captain. Although Ye Tianya was no longer there, she still commanded with composure. Under her command, the three women moved towards their objective with seamless coordination.

Suddenly, Sima Ruyan, who was at the front, made a gesture to retreat and conceal herself. Nangong Qian'er, who was at the back, immediately turned around, becoming the front, and disappeared around the corner into an empty cabin. The others slipped inside, and soon they heard footsteps coming down the corridor. One of the four women heard one of them say, "Old Tao, weren't you so arrogant during your inspection the other day? I just couldn't stand your head-up attitude, looking down on everyone. You didn't expect to end up like this, did you? Hurry up..."

Then they heard someone fall to the ground, followed by the same voice laughing sinisterly, "Old man, you can't even walk after only half a day of hunger? Get up, or I'll shoot you. Anyway, nobody outside will know."

The four women's hearts tightened. They recognized the man as Minister Tao. Should they rush out to rescue him? Sima Ruyan hesitated. If they rushed out immediately, the hostage was still in their hands, putting them in a precarious situation, and they would expose themselves. If they didn't go out, and the hostage was shot, their mission would be over. On

the other hand, Sima Ruyan feared that the man who had boarded the ship early to inspect it would discover their disappearance in the hold, raising suspicion. Sima Ruyan decided not to wait until Minister Tao was locked in a room before making her move, but rather to act in the corridor.

After the footsteps passed in the corridor, Sima Ruyan made a few hand gestures to the other three women, then holstered her gun at her waist and drew a short knife from her leg. Ouyang Xin'er followed suit, drawing her own short knife, while the other two girls still held their pistols. She gently opened the door and stepped out. She saw four bodyguards in black, escorting an old man deeper into the corridor. They probably hadn't considered the presence of others on the ship, and Sima Ruyan and the others had all used their unique lightness techniques, so the four in front didn't notice them emerging from the back door. The four women split into pairs: Nangong Qian'er and Murong Shuangxue kept watch behind them, while Sima Ruyan and Ouyang Xin'er leaped into the air and pounced on the four in front.

The two behind hadn't even reacted before they heard a whoosh of wind behind them, felt a chill on their necks, and fell to the ground. These bodyguards who could follow the leader were naturally not ordinary people. As soon as the two behind fell to the ground, the two in front sensed something was wrong and almost simultaneously turned their pistols back before they could turn around.

Clang clang...

Sima Ruyan and Ouyang Xin'er threw their short knives. After two metallic sounds, the guns in the hands of the two bodyguards were immediately knocked off course, but they still fired. At the same time, two sparks flashed from the muzzle of the silenced pistol in the hand of Nangong Qian'er, who was defending from behind. Two bloody holes appeared on the foreheads of the two bodyguards who had just fired their first shots. Nangong Qian'er was the sharpshooter in the Flying Dragon Team, and only she was confident that she could shoot and kill the two bodyguards without hurting Minister Tao, whom they were holding.

The aged Minister Tao finally came to her senses, turning back to look at the four bodyguards lying on the ground and the four alert girls standing in the corridor. She asked in surprise, "Who are you...?"

Sima Ruyan stepped forward to help the old man, saying, "Minister Tao, we are members of the Flying Dragon Squad. We've frightened you. Now is not the time to talk. The gunshot must have attracted the attention of those above. We need to leave quickly."

"Oh—, okay, okay!" The old man, despite his extensive experience, was still somewhat unaccustomed to seeing the four corpses on the ground. Sima Ruyan handed the old man to the most frail of the four, Nangong Qian'er, and said efficiently, "Qian'er, you help Minister Tao. Let's go."

With that, Sima Ruyan nimbly led the way, heading towards the end of the corridor. Once they reached there and placed Minister Tao on the police boat that was following them at a distance, their mission would be complete.

However, in the short corridor, gunfire continued to erupt, making it very difficult for the four women protecting Minister Tao. They constantly dodged and weaved between the doors of different rooms as they moved forward. After expending considerable firepower to clear out the dozen or so bodyguards blocking their way, they reached the deck.

Upon reaching the deck, they heard Hu Nanting order the policeman following behind to be killed. Without hesitation, Ouyang Xin'er rushed out of the cabin and onto the upper deck, instantly killing the bodyguard standing on the ship's edge, who was preparing to fire at the policeman below. Simultaneously, Hu Nanting's men began to retaliate. Nangong Qian'er had no choice but to pull Minister Tao back into the cabin.

Just as Nangong Qian'er retreated to the cabin, she heard Sima Ruyan, Ouyang Xin'er, and the other two women outside cry out almost simultaneously: "Qian'er, watch out, a bomb—!"

Nangong Qian'er only saw a dark object fly into the cabin. Without thinking, she tackled Minister Tao to the corner of the upper deck ladder, using her petite body to shield the old minister.

"Boom—"

The explosion drove Sima Ruyan and the other two women outside into a frenzy. They couldn't imagine what was happening inside. They had only one thought: to riddle Hu Nanting and his men, who had thrown a bomb and were trying to dodge, with bullets.

Most of Hu Nanting's bodyguards had been killed while trying to stop the four women in the passageway below. Coupled with the fierce battle on the deck, they had been almost entirely wiped out by the coordinated attack of the three women from the Flying Dragon Team. Hu Nanting only had three bodyguards left, but the bomb he threw ended his life a few minutes earlier. The three crazed girls completely forgot their own lives and charged at Hu Nanting. Their overwhelming rage made Hu Nanting and his bodyguards pause for a moment. In that brief moment of hesitation, Sima Ruyan's bullet pierced his left chest, and the other three bodyguards were also shot and fell to the ground. Of course, the three women who had rushed forward without regard for their own lives were also shot.

In the distance, the water police boats came into view, but Sima Ruyan, shot in the thigh, paid no heed. Ignoring her wound, she rushed towards the hatch, only to collapse to the ground after taking a single step. She continued crawling towards the hatch, her injured leg leaving a long trail of blood.

Ouyang Xin'er, shot in the abdomen, dared not move, but her eyes were fixed on the hatch. She desperately wanted Nangong Qian'er's head to emerge from there, even if it was covered in dirt.

Murong Piaoxue, also shot in the thigh, had wounds in both legs. She crawled towards the hatch behind Sima Ruyan, urgently calling out Nangong Qian'er's name…

Sima Ruyan reached the hatch first, only to see the old minister she was trying to save carrying someone out—it was Nangong Qian'er. However, Sima Ruyan couldn't be sure if it was a living person or a corpse.

"Quick...the child is still breathing! Someone come quick! Someone come quick! The child is still breathing..." The old man carried Nangong Qian'er out of the cabin. Having been starved for many days, his aged and hoarse voice struggled to shout. When Sima Ruyan heard that Nangong Qian'er was still alive, she was overjoyed and regained some of her composure. She hurriedly said, "Minister Tao, quickly lay Qian'er flat on the ground, quick!"

Chapter 198 The Unlucky Messenger

The old man, who had been starving for several days, was already not very strong and needed help to walk. The fact that he was able to carry Nangong Qian'er out of the cabin was a result of the potential he had been aroused by seeing Nangong Qian'er desperately trying to save him. Hearing Sima Ruyan's words, he laid Nangong Qian'er on the ground. Sima Ruyan crawled over to check her over, but she discovered with despair that Nangong Qian'er's life was almost over. A piece of shrapnel was deeply embedded in the left side of her back, where her heart was.

Sima Ruyan went berserk again, screaming in agony as she looked up at the sky. The sound carried far across the sea. On the distant naval police vessel, Director Xia heard the heart-wrenching scream and felt his heart sink. He immediately ordered, "Full speed ahead! Quickly!"

Nangong Qian'er's fingers were already icy cold. Sima Ruyan frantically channeled her inner energy into Nangong Qian'er's body. Murong Piaoxue climbed up behind and followed suit, channeling her inner energy into Nangong Qian'er as well. Nangong Qian'er suddenly coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, mumbling something. Sima Ruyan quickly bent down to listen, only hearing Nangong Qian'er weakly whisper, "Captain... Captain..."

※※※

Sitting in the car returning to the city, Ye Tianya suddenly felt a surge of unease. This feeling told him something was about to happen, and it immediately made him anxious. He immediately said to Black Hawk beside him, "Brother Black Hawk, go to the back car and head straight to the funeral home. I'll go back to Haijiao Tianya to pick up my sister-in-law. Call me immediately if anything happens."

Black Hawk also noticed Ye Tianya's sudden agitation. Although he didn't know why Ye Tianya had become so agitated, he immediately got out of the car and climbed into the back. Ye Tianya told the driver to take the side road back to Haijiao Tianya. The unease in his heart grew stronger, and he became unusually anxious. He dialed the number for Haijiao Tianya. At this moment, the most important people to him were at Haijiao Tianya. But Yang Meng answered the phone and told him that everything was normal at Haijiao Tianya. Ye Tianya then hurriedly called Lin Siyin and Li Lanyu at the construction site. Both of them said they were not in any danger. Ye Tianya was slightly relieved and told them to be careful and to call him immediately if anything happened before hanging up the phone. But the unease in Ye Tianya's heart did not disappear. Helpless, Ye Tianya could only accept that what was meant to be would be, and tried his best to calm himself down.

Just as he forced himself to calm down, a sudden, piercing pain shot through his heart. This pain lasted only a second, after which everything returned to normal, even the unease vanished with that brief moment of agony. Ye Tianya's heart immediately turned as cold as if it had plunged into an ice cave. He vividly remembered this piercing pain; he had experienced it in Beijing when Xingye's incident occurred, and before that pain, he had felt the same unease and anxiety. His intuition told him that someone extremely important to him had been in trouble.

He couldn't help but dial the number on Haijiao Tianya's phone again. Yang Meng, who answered, said, "Sister Meng, let Xiaoye answer the phone."

A short while later, Xingye's voice came from the other end of the line, "Brother, where are you? When are you coming home?"

Ye Tianya's heart finally settled down a bit. He asked, "Xiaoye, I'm in the city, I'll be back in a bit. Where are your Sister Shuang and Sister Xue?"

Xingye replied, "They're downstairs. We were just playing with Beibei."

"Where's Sister-in-law Yang Ying?" Ye Tianya asked again.

Xingye said, "Sister-in-law is in the living room on the second floor, but she's not saying anything and seems very sad. What should we do, brother? Please come back and comfort her."

Seeing that everyone at home was alright, Ye Tianya exchanged a few vague words with Xingye and then quickly dialed Lin Siyin's number.

When Ye Tianya heard Lin Siyin's voice, knowing she was alright, he hurriedly asked, "Siyin, is Yu-jie with you? Are you all alright?"

Lin Siyin replied, "We're all fine. Xiaojuan is with us, nothing will happen. Tianya, what happened? Why are you so anxious? What's wrong?"

Ye Tianya sighed and said, "Siyin, I suddenly felt uneasy, and then a sharp pain shot through me. I had a similar experience when Xiaoye had her accident, so I thought something had happened to someone very important to me. Thankfully, you're all alright. You must be careful. If things get too dangerous, go back to Haijiao Tianya first. Understand?"

Ye Tianya's words stirred up a storm in Lin Siyin's heart. 'Someone very important to him?' When Lin Siyin heard this, she was overjoyed and was about to ask Ye Tianya if he truly considered her very important. But Ye Tianya hurriedly said a few words and hung up the phone. She could only look at her phone and smile happily.

Ye Tianya returned to the ends of the earth. Xingye was playing with Beibei on the lawn in front of the villa, while Yang Ying was still sitting blankly on the sofa on the second floor. Yang Meng was trying to comfort her, but Yang Ying wouldn't listen to a word. She was just heartbroken and crying. As Ye Tianya entered, Yang Ying looked up at him and asked, "Little Ye, did you find out? Who killed your brother?"

Ye Tianya looked at Yang Ying's swollen eyes, his heart aching. He said, "Sister-in-law, don't be like this. Brother Ye wouldn't want to see his beloved so heartbroken. You must pull yourself together; Bei Bei still needs you to take care of her. We've found the person who killed Brother Ye, and Brother Black Eagle and I have caught him. Don't worry. We'll handle it. Get ready; we're going to the mourning hall. People will come to pay their respects to Brother Ye today."

A fierce hatred flashed in Yang Ying's eyes. She stood up and went to the room Yang Meng had arranged for her to tidy up. Ye Tianya went up to the third floor, took off his white casual clothes, and then, after a layer of white light enveloped him, the magical armor hidden within him transformed into a dignified black suit—the kind of black suit suitable for a funeral.

Bing Shuang and Bing Xue appeared behind him. Bing Shuang asked with concern, "Husband, did something happen? Why did you call back twice?"

Ye Tianya shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing. I just suddenly felt uneasy. Maybe it's because I didn't rest last night. I'm leaving the safety of the house to you. Take good care of Xiao Ye and Bei Bei."

Bing Shuang and Bing Xue nodded gently. Ye Tianya kissed the two women on the cheek before going downstairs. Yang Ying had already changed into a black outfit and was waiting in the living room. Ye Tianya nodded to her and left with her. When they met Bei Bei downstairs, Yang Ying forced a smile and dealt with Bei Bei before going out with Ye Tianya.

"Little Ye, can I avenge your brother myself?" Yang Ying suddenly said to Ye Tianya, who was sitting next to the driver, after getting into the car.

Ye Tianya was stunned. He couldn't believe that Yang Ying would make such a request. Avenge him himself? She wanted to kill Qinglong herself? Did she dare to kill someone herself? But at this moment, Ye Tianya could only agree to her, "No problem. We'll hand the murderer over to you to deal with."

Yang Ying suddenly said with relief, "Thank you, Xiao Yezi. Your brother didn't misjudge you."

Ye Tianya felt a pang of sadness and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. As long as I, Ye Tianya, am alive, I will take care of you and Beibei. I will raise Beibei to be an extraordinary person."

Yang Ying hummed a few times, then sobbed, "Thank you, Xiao Yezi. If it weren't for you and Aying, my daughter and I really wouldn't know what to do."

Ye Tianya sighed silently, secretly praying that Night Owl would protect the mother and daughter from heaven. He also secretly resolved to take care of them for the rest of his life.

In front of the funeral home, as expected, many people came to pay their respects to the four Night Owl brothers. A large portion of these people were former gangsters who had turned their lives around. Although they were now respectable and legitimate entrepreneurs, their paths to wealth were no different from Night Owl's—they all followed the shady road. For the first time, Yang Ying stood before the mourners in the mourning hall as Black Hawk's wife, paying her respects. While many were unaware that Night Owl had a wife he never brought to social events, others understood why he hadn't. After their prayers, each person approached Yang Ying to offer words of comfort. Ye Tianya and Yang Ying stood together, bowing to the mourners. Black Hawk stood beside him, representing Night Owl as his brother.

Ye Tianya was bowing to a person who had come to offer condolences when a commotion erupted at the entrance. Ye Tianya quickly said to Black Eagle beside him, "Go see what's going on."

Black Eagle hurriedly walked out, but before he could even leave, someone rushed in, knocking the condolences off balance. Ye Tianya looked closely and saw that it was Xu Keming. Xu Keming was covered in sweat and looked extremely anxious. It seemed something had happened. Ye Tianya suddenly remembered the anxiety and heartache he had felt not long ago, and his heart sank. He quickly stopped Black Eagle and rushed forward to stop Xu Keming, asking, "What happened?"

Xu Keming gasped, "Quick... to the hospital. Nangong Qian'er is injured, she's... she's dying. She wants to see you."

"What? Say that again!" Ye Tianya disregarded the guests around him, grabbed Xu Keming by the collar, lifted him up, and asked anxiously.

Xu Keming, a burly man, was lifted up by Ye Tianya as if he were a sack of cotton, shocking everyone around. Xu Keming struggled to breathe and said with difficulty, "Qian'er... went to save Tao... Minister... is injured... is dying, she wants to see you."

"Bastard!" Ye Tianya angrily threw Xu Keming to the floor. Xu Keming cursed his bad luck, but he had already prepared himself for being thrown when he delivered this message to Ye Tianya. Ye Tianya turned to Black Hawk and said, "I'm leaving this to you, and I'm entrusting Sister-in-law's safety to you as well. I have urgent business, call me if anything happens."

Although Black Hawk didn't know who Xu Keming was, he understood that someone was dying and wanted to see Ye Tianya one last time. He quickly nodded and said, "Tianya, go quickly, I'll handle things here."

Chapter 199 White Hair Reappears

Ye Tianya nodded, glanced back at Yang Ying who was looking at him with concern, and then rushed outside. Xu Keming scrambled to his feet and ran after them…

Nangong Qian'er was taken to a military hospital. Xu Keming, who had come to find Ye Tianya, picked him up and immediately sped towards the hospital. Traffic police were always clearing the way ahead, but Ye Tianya still thought the car was too slow. He glanced at Xu Keming and said, “Stop the car, pull over!”

Xu Keming quickly complied. Ye Tianya got out and pushed Xu Keming aside, then yanked the gearshift and sped off. In less than ten seconds, he was in first gear and in the highest gear, flooring the accelerator. Even with his special training, Xu Keming couldn't help but turn pale as Ye Tianya drove like a rocket. Especially on uneven roads, the entire car would fly off. Once, while crossing a slope, the car even flew over the roof of the car in front of it, leaving Xu Keming gripping the handrail tightly, his face deathly pale. The police car that had been leading the way was long gone, left behind by Ye Tianya. Xu Keming gradually got used to Ye Tianya's speed, and when he saw Ye Tianya drive sideways between two cars with both wheels on the ground, he couldn't help but feel excited. Gradually, he let go of his fear and excitedly pointed out which road Ye Tianya should take. At the same time, he answered Ye Tianya's questions, recounting how Director Xia had mobilized Nangong Qian'er and the other three to rescue Minister Tao.

The route from the funeral home to the military hospital passed through the road managed by Lao Gan again, and today he had witnessed Ye Tianya's driving skills once more. This time, he wasn't frightened at all; instead, he was so excited that he screamed, completely disregarding his identity as a traffic policeman. What would normally take half an hour, Ye Tianya squeaked and parked the car in front of the military hospital in ten minutes.

Seeing Ye Tianya's car stop haphazardly before he burst out of the driver's seat, the uniformed guard at the hospital entrance approached to stop him, but Ye Tianya slammed into him, sending him flying and landing face-first in the dirt. By the time he got up and wanted to confront the guard, Ye Tianya was gone, replaced by Xu Keming, who was limp and weak as he 'crawled' out of the car.

At the hospital emergency room entrance, Director Xia, Ji Yuanqing, Minister Tao, and others paced back and forth in the corridor. Nangong Qian'er's grandfather, the white-haired old man Ye Tianya had met, stood quietly under the flashing red light at the emergency room entrance, his back to Director Xia and the others. In the short few hours since he picked up Nangong Qian'er from the accident, the old man seemed to have aged ten years; his once lustrous white hair had turned gray. No one dared to disturb the old man, not even Minister Tao. His Nangong family had been descended from only one son for five generations, and now only the old man and Nangong Qian'er remained. If something happened to Nangong Qian'er, the old man's only hope would be gone. No one dared to imagine how the old man would live without Nangong Qian'er.

The corridor was so quiet that only the footsteps of Director Xia and the others could be heard. Director Xia was filled with remorse. He remembered when he reported the news of Nangong Qian'er's accident to Old Han, he heard the screams of the staff next to Old Han and the sound of someone falling to the ground. He guessed that Old Han must have fainted from the shock. He knew that if something happened to Nangong Qian'er, he would definitely have to go home and take care of his child. As

he was divining his future fate, a shout suddenly came from the front of the corridor. It was the shout of the staff guarding the front, who were protecting Minister Tao, seemingly preventing someone from entering. But the screams and the sound of someone falling to the ground made Director Xia's heart leap again. His men immediately rushed towards the door. Some people had even drawn their guns.

Director Xia and Director Ji ran towards the door simultaneously. They hadn't gone far when they witnessed a scene they would never forget: a man in black was rushing in, subduing anyone who tried to stop him. Those who had drawn guns fared even worse; before the man in black could even move, their hands were dislocated and immobilized. A powerful rage filled the corridor, and as more people tried to stop him, the rage gradually turned into murderous intent. This murderous intent alerted Nangong Xiong, who had been standing at the emergency room entrance. He turned around in surprise and, upon seeing the angry young man rushing inside, exclaimed, "Stop! He's one of us!"

Director Xia then recognized the young man who was almost in front of him, and the large group of staff members who had tried to stop him lying behind him. He then remembered that the young man was Ye Tianya, but he always wore white, and his sudden appearance in black had prevented him from recognizing him at first.

After no one stopped him, Ye Tianya rushed towards the emergency room. Seeing Nangong Qian'er's grandfather, he stopped and asked, "Grandpa Nangong, where is Qian'er?"

Nangong Xiong glanced back at the emergency room and said in a hoarse voice, "She's still inside receiving emergency treatment!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianya immediately rushed towards the closed emergency room door. Nangong Xiong was alarmed; rushing in now would definitely disrupt the surgeon's operation. He quickly turned back to grab Ye Tianya, using his Nangong family's unique grappling technique, but grasped only air. Startled, he turned to chase after him again, but the emergency room lights went out, and a group of doctors came out. Only then did Ye Tianya stop and anxiously ask, "Doctor, how is Qian'er?"

Nangong Xiong, Director Xia, and others gathered around, anxiously watching the doctor. The doctor, drenched in sweat, shook his head helplessly and sighed. Before his sigh even finished, a surge of resentment erupted before him, radiating outwards. Several doctors involuntarily took several steps back, even Nangong Xiong, staring in horror at Ye Tianya, the source of the overwhelming resentment. Under the influence of this powerful resentment, a layer of black dust settled on Ye Tianya's once black hair, washing away the hair dye that had covered his white hair. This revealed a head of silver-white hair beneath, and even his eyebrows turned white within seconds.

"Ah—!" Ye Tianya roared, his roar shaking the hospital corridor, causing dizziness among those around him. A few even coughed up blood. Before everyone could recover, they heard Ye Tianya's furious voice again: "Who is Director Xia?"

Director Xia stepped forward and said, "I am Xia Zibiao!"

Ye Tianya glared at Xia Zibiao with bloodshot eyes and asked, "You useless piece of trash, you can't even save people yourself, so what right do you have to mobilize my Flying Dragon Squad? I'll make you pay for Qian'er's death!"

As soon as Ye Tianya finished speaking, as if performing magic, he placed his right hand on his left, and suddenly a pistol appeared in his hand. He raised it and pulled the trigger before Xia Zibiao had any time to react.

"Tianya, don't!" A figure rushed out from the crowd and lunged at Ye Tianya's arm.

"Bang—"

The gun rang out. Because of the tackle, Ye Tianya's hand veered, and the bullet grazed Xia Zibiao's ear, leaving a large dent in the wall behind Xia Zibiao.

The person who tackled Ye Tianya was Xu Keming. Ye Tianya glanced down at him, then angrily bent his knee and slammed it into Xu Keming. Xu Keming was immediately knocked away. Ye Tianya raised his pistol again. At this moment, Nangong Xiong, who had regained some of his senses from the terrible news, also reacted and quickly grabbed Ye Tianya's hand and pulled hard. When the gunshot rang out again, the bullet veered off course and grazed past the stunned Xia Zibiao's cheek. Ye Tianya tried to shake off the person holding him, but stopped abruptly when he saw that it was Qian'er's grandfather, Nangong Xiong.

At this moment, Xu Keming, who had been lying on the ground catching his breath, hurriedly said, "Tianya, quick... save Qian'er... just like saving... Xingye!"

Xu Keming's words reminded Ye Tianya like a thunderbolt. Nangong Xiong, who was holding Ye Tianya, felt his hand go empty, and Ye Tianya disappeared. Then he heard the emergency room door slam shut behind him, and the corridor immediately returned to silence. Then Xia Zibiao slumped down on a bench in the hospital corridor without any grace. The nurses following the doctor were so terrified they collapsed to the ground. Everyone else felt their limbs go weak. Even Nangong Xiong, a martial arts master still immersed in the grief of the devastating news, stared blankly at the two large holes in the wall above Xia Zi's head, feeling a chill run down his spine.

Xia Zibiao was the most terrified among them; having just narrowly escaped death twice, he could clearly feel the cold sweat streaming down his back.

The emergency room door remained tightly shut; no one dared to touch it. Time ticked by, and there was still no movement inside. Everyone outside held their breath, staring intently at the doorway.

No one left, not even those injured by Ye Tianya, not even Xia Zibiao, even though he feared Ye Tianya might shoot him after failing to save Nangong Qian'er. He didn't leave. They waited until after 6 PM when there was another commotion at the entrance. A group of people entered, and the person at the front was someone Xia Zibiao and the others didn't expect—it was Old Han, the same Old Han who had been in B City that morning. Now he was in a hospital in S City. Old Han,

like Nangong Xiong, looked haggard and withered, his already gray hair now almost completely white. He walked up to Nangong Xiong and tremblingly grasped his hand, saying, "Brother, I, Old Han, have let down your Nangong family."

Nangong Xiong's eyes welled up with tears. He glanced back at the emergency room and said, "Old Han, Tianya is still inside. I hope he can save Qian'er. Otherwise, I won't have the face to go down and face her parents."

Both old men couldn't help but have reddened their eyes. Xia Zibiao stepped forward and greeted Old Han somewhat uncertainly. Old Han sighed and said, "Let's wait for the results."

Chapter 200 Full-Scale Counterattack

Old Han's words made Xia Zibiao's heart jump again. Wait for the results? If Nangong Qian'er didn't survive, his future would be ruined. Old Han simply greeted Minister Tao; no one was in the mood for pleasantries, everyone nervously watching the doorway.

Old Han's staff brought over a soft chair from the hospital, but Old Han didn't sit down, standing quietly at the door. His presence caused a large group of people behind him to follow suit, all standing silently. No one dared to sit down. No one dared to make a sound.

Outside, someone exclaimed that all the flowers, plants, and trees in the garden had withered, but no one dared to let the sound reach the emergency room door, so no one here knew. Finally, at eight o'clock in the evening, when Old Han was trembling, the emergency room door opened.

All eyes were on the door, with Old Han and Nangong Xiong being the most anxious; the two old men practically rushed towards the door.

The person who came out made Old Han, who arrived later, gasp in surprise—was this really Ye Tianya? His hair was silver-white, even his eyebrows were silver-white, but what he cared about more at this moment was the person in Ye Tianya's arms. Ye Tianya, who was standing at the door looking tired, was holding the person they had been concerned about all along - Nangong Qian'er.

Nangong Qian'er's hands hung limply at her sides, her face as white as paper. No one could tell whether she was alive or dead. Ye Tianya didn't give anyone time to ask. He carried Nangong Qian'er straight out, not even stopping beside Nangong Xiong. However, when he reached Old Han, he stopped. Just like when he carried Xingye away last time, he left Old Han with a sentence: "Old Han, I want to know who the mole is in the public security system. If you can't find out, I'd rather kill three thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free."

Ye Tianya's words were so cold that the corridor almost froze. Even Old Han and Nangong Xiong were stunned. In that short moment of stunned silence, Ye Tianya carried Nangong Qian'er and strode towards the main entrance. The people in the corridor unconsciously made way for him. At this moment, probably no one dared to stand up and stop Ye Tianya, not even by extending a hand.

By the time Old Han realized what was happening and quickly chased after him, Ye Tianya had already reached the corner of the corridor. Only then did the others react and all gave chase, but just like when they rescued Xingye, Ye Tianya had vanished again.

Old Han glanced back at Ji Yuanqing and angrily uttered, "Find out who he is, or face the consequences!" Then he called over Xu Keming and said, "Take me to Ye Tianya's house, quick!"

Thinking about Ye Tianya's behavior this time, similar to when Xingye was injured—white hair, sudden disappearance—these were all signs that he was about to disappear again. Old Han didn't want Ye Tianya to disappear again. He thought of Xingye at the ends of the earth; as long as Xingye was still within their sight, Ye Tianya couldn't disappear. That's why he urgently asked Xu Keming to drive to the ends of the earth.

Xia Zibiao wanted to go too, but Old Han coldly said, "Go do what you're supposed to do, why are you getting involved?"

Xia Zibiao had no choice but to retreat, his face flushed. After he was yelled at, no one else dared to go. Old Han only took his staff and Nangong Xiong with him, and hurriedly headed towards the End of the Earth.

However, when they arrived at the entrance of the End of the Earth, they heard Yang Meng's voice over the loudspeaker: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye instructed that he has urgent business and will not be receiving guests at the moment. Please leave a message if you have any urgent matters."

Xu Keming hurriedly went to the loudspeaker and said, "Sister Meng, it's me, Xu Keming. It's urgent, could you please open the door?"

Yang Meng said helplessly, "Brother Xu, I know it's you. If it's you, you can't come in even more. You injured two young ladies last time. If you come in, Mr. Ye will tear you apart. You'd better leave."

Xu Keming said helplessly, "Sister Meng, then tell Tianya that Old Han is looking for him, and he'll open the door."

Yang Meng said impatiently, "Are you done yet? Mr. Ye is rescuing people on the third floor right now. I dare not go into the restricted area. What else do you want? Mr. Ye's hair has turned white with worry, and Xiao Ye is crying from fright. You can leave or not, it's up to you. If you don't want to leave, then wait. We'll talk about it after Mr. Ye has finished rescuing people and comes down."

Xu Keming had no choice but to look at Old Han helplessly and said, "Old Han, the restricted area on the third floor is only for Ye Tianya, Xingye, and Bing Shuang Bing Xue. " "No one else is allowed to go up, and Yang Meng doesn't dare to report it. Do you think we should go back?"

Old Han was slightly relieved and turned to Nangong Xiong, saying, "It seems Ye Tianya is confident he can save Qian'er. Wasn't the last time under the starry sky a precedent? Nangong, I think we shouldn't go in and disturb him. Let's go back to the city and wait for news."

Actually, he had no choice but to go back and wait for news. Perhaps only Ye Tianya's butler would dare to speak to Old Han and his group in such a tone, and only Ye Tianya's butler would dare to refuse them entry. But Old Han was not angry at all; on the contrary, he was in a much better mood. According to Yang Meng, Ye Tianya was saving someone upstairs, which meant that Nangong Qian'er still had a chance of survival, at least not like the doctors in the hospital who shook their heads and gave her a death sentence.

Nangong Qian'er had survived. Compared to Xingye, whose life had been completely extinguished the previous time, Nangong Qian'er's condition was much better. The reason the hospital dared not perform surgery and determined that Nangong Qian'er would die was because a piece of shrapnel had pierced the side of her heart. If the shrapnel were removed, Nangong Qian'er's heart would immediately bleed profusely. Of course, without a heart, Nangong Qian'er would die before she could receive a transplant, and it was impossible to find a transplant heart before she died. If the shrapnel was not removed, Nangong Qian'er would still die. That's why the hospital declared her death a certainty.

But these problems did not exist for Ye Tianya. Before removing the shrapnel, he could use his life force to form a soft membrane at the site of the heart injury, and then he could use the Holy Light Restoration Technique to repair the wound. Although it required a lot of life force, fortunately there were many plants around the hospital, and Ye Tianya did not hesitate to borrow the life force of those plants. When he walked out of the hospital emergency room, Nangong Qian'er was already out of danger. The bombing had damaged her heart meridian, leaving Ye Tianya exhausted. He had no choice but to bring her back to Haijiao Tianya, asking Bing Shuang and Bing Shuang to work together to clear the blockage in her heart

meridian. Not long after Han Lao and his group left Haijiao Tianya, Black Hawk escorted Yang Ying back. When Ye Tianya wearily descended from the third floor, Black Hawk and Yang Ying were stunned by his silver hair.

"Tianya (Little Ye), your hair..." they exclaimed almost simultaneously. Their exclamations finally caught the attention of Lin Siyin and Li Lanyu, who were working in the study on the second floor. These two workaholics hadn't even known Ye Tianya had returned to Haijiao Tianya. Hearing Black Hawk and Yang Ying's exclamations, the two rushed out. Seeing Ye Tianya's silver hair, Lin Siyin gasped, covering her mouth in surprise, while Li Lanyu's eyes lit up. "Wow, so handsome! His hair's turned white again!"

Ye Tianya ignored Li Lanyu's voice and didn't respond to Yang Ying's questions. Instead, he asked Yang Ying, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I couldn't be at the mourning hall all day..."

Yang Ying shook her head, interrupting him, "Little Ye, don't say anymore. What happened to your friend? Are you alright?"

Ye Tianya gave a reassuring look, "I'm fine, she's been saved. Go check on Beibei, she's asleep in her room."

Seeing Ye Tianya's exhausted face, Yang Ying couldn't bear to ask any more questions. He grunted and went to look at his daughter. Ye Tianya glanced at Li Lanyu and Lin Siyin, then said to Black Hawk, "Have your men prepare. Tonight is the time to get our things back."

Black Hawk's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he straightened up, saying, "I've already had my men prepare. We're just waiting for your order."

Ye Tianya nodded approvingly and said, "Go. Launch a full-scale counterattack. We must take back what belongs to us. As for the rest, you handle it!"

Qinglong, of course, understood Ye Tianya's meaning. "As for the rest, you handle it" meant that with Qinglong arrested and several of his top leaders subsequently arrested by the police, Qinglong was now in chaos. He could also turn the tables on Qinglong.

Qinglong left excitedly, and Lin Siyin, who had been staring intently at Ye Tianya's white hair, finally had a chance to speak: "Tianya, what happened?"

Ye Tianya sat wearily on the sofa and said, "It was Qian'er. She encountered a bomb while trying to save someone important. But she's been rescued. Don't worry."

Lin Siyin asked in surprise, "So... that excruciating pain and unease you felt this morning was real?" Ye Tianya

nodded, turned, and went upstairs. Bing Shuang and Bing Xue had just opened up Nangong Qian'er's meridians and were resting on the third floor. Ye Tianya needed to go check if Nangong Qian'er had any other problems. On the other hand, he himself felt exhausted. He had used up too much energy saving Nangong Qian'er and needed to rest as well.

Black Hawk, having obtained Ye Tianya's permission, launched a full-scale attack that very night, with the Shadow Spy team already poised for action. The Green Dragon Gang's leader was missing, and high-ranking members had been arrested by the police. The lower ranks were already in a state of panic; upon hearing of Shadow Spy's massive counterattack, the ragtag group scattered like birds before even considering resistance. This left Black Hawk's Shadow Spy team without a target for revenge.

Within an hour, all the Shadow Spy territory that Green Dragon had seized while Night Owl was in trouble was back in Shadow Spy's hands. Black Hawk, enraged, issued the order for revenge: march back to Green Dragon's headquarters!

Driven by vengeance, the Shadow Spy members were all burning with rage. They had encountered no resistance along the way, had no outlet for their hatred, and were all itching to storm into Green Dragon's headquarters and slaughter them.

Chapter 201 Refusing Guests

While the police were holding an emergency meeting to investigate the mole who had leaked the information, Black Hawk and his men had already occupied most of the Green Dragon Gang's territory. Upon entering Green Dragon's territory, they encountered considerable resistance, but the already demoralized Green Dragon Gang members were no match for the frenzied onslaught of Black Hawk's highly motivated and enraged Shadow members. However, this also gave the Shadow members an opportunity to vent their hatred.

The saying "a defeated army collapses like a mountain" is even more apt in gang warfare. Soldiers possess far superior mental fortitude compared to these cowardly gangsters. Seeing their leader missing, their boss captured, and the Shadow members surging in like a tide, with news of territorial losses constantly arriving, these gangsters couldn't stay still. Upon hearing of the Shadow's arrival, they immediately abandoned their posts and fled. Black Hawk initially encountered some resistance, but later it became more like he was taking over territory than seizing it.

Overnight, all of Qinglong's territory fell under Black Hawk's control. During this time, some smaller gangs from the surrounding area tried to get a piece of the pie, but were met with Black Hawk's strong suppression. Black Hawk immediately declared that the leader of the Shadow Gang had been murdered, and that the Shadow Gang's actions were solely for revenge. Anyone who dared to interfere would be considered an accomplice of Qinglong, and the Shadow Gang would avenge the leader at all costs.

This immediately silenced the smaller gangs who had initially wanted to get involved. Qinglong Gang was doomed, and they didn't want to be branded as accomplices in the deaths of the Night Owl brothers. Seeing the Shadow Gang members, their eyes bloodshot as if they hadn't yet had their fill of killing, those who wanted to attack were also frightened away. A force driven by hatred and revenge was not to be trifled with. They understood this, of course.

Black Hawk didn't stop after taking over Green Dragon's territory. Another kill order came from his cold mouth: "Kill any Green Dragon gang member you encounter to avenge our leader! Find the person who planted the bomb in Night Owl's car, dead or alive!"

The order sent shivers down the spines of the underworld. The power of hatred can drive people mad. Black Hawk, in order to avenge his leader, actually issued an order to wipe them out completely. This forced people in the underworld to re-evaluate Shadow Spy, Black Hawk, and the already dead Night Owl. However, if they knew that Night Owl was willing to go to jail himself for the mistakes of his subordinates, perhaps no one would be surprised by Black Hawk issuing such an order.

Overnight, every gang leader involved in drug trafficking was summoned to the police station for questioning, not for any other reason than their names on the ledger Ye Tianya had submitted. The news that the Green Dragon Gang had been completely taken over by the vengeful spies exploded like a bombshell in the underworld. That night, the entire S City underworld was thrown into turmoil, plunging into darkness.

The following night, two Green Dragon leaders who had not been involved in drugs were released after being detained for 24 hours due to insufficient evidence. They were then shot dead less than two blocks from the police station. The Green Dragon members, of course, knew it was the work of the vengeful spies, and they were terrified, hiding and even fleeing S City.

Meanwhile, Ye Tianya was returning to the End of the World with Yang Ying. He had personally spent the day at the funeral parlor with Yang Ying. The bodies of the four Night Owls would be cremated early the next morning. Many guests had come, and they were busy until dark before handing the funeral parlor over to Black Hawk and returning to the End of the World. Ye Tianya expressed no opinion on Black Hawk's actions last night. He was determined to relinquish all management control of the Spy Shadow organization to Black Hawk, just as he had done when Night Owl led it. Black Hawk would report directly to him. Before

the car even reached the gates of the Cape of Heaven, Ye Tianya saw a number of people standing under the lights at the entrance, including Xu Keming and Old Han, who were talking to people inside via a communicator. Seeing that the people protecting Yang Ying in the Audi had already gotten out, Ye Tianya, fearing they wouldn't recognize Old Han and his group and might bump into them, immediately opened the door, called them back, and went up to them himself.

Ye Tianya's appearance delighted Old Han and the others. Old Han was the first to greet him, clearly in much better spirits, likely having learned from his conversation inside the Cape of Heaven that Nangong Qian'er had come back to life. Nangong Xiong also came to greet him. Ye Tianya knew they would immediately ask about Nangong Qian'er, but he didn't want to talk to them for even a minute longer. He coldly spoke first to Old Han, "Old Han, have you found the traitor?"

Old Han knew Ye Tianya held a grudge against him. Ever since the incident with Xueya Shuangye, when Ye Tianya drove Xu Keming and the others out of Haijiao Tianya, he knew Ye Tianya was very dissatisfied with him. With the Nangong Qian'er incident now, Ye Tianya's coldness was perfectly normal.

Old Han shook his head, "Not yet, but I guarantee I'll find the traitor for you. First, tell us how Qian'er is?"

Ye Tianya coldly glanced at the many city officials who had come with him, including Minister Tao, and even the two city officials from S City, Gao and Shen, were present. However, Ye Tianya's attitude didn't soften despite the presence of so many important figures. Instead, he became even colder, saying, "You seem quite concerned about Qian'er's life or death. Go ask the doctor at the hospital; he already has the results, hasn't he? I'm sorry, but apart from Grandpa Nangong, no one else is welcome at Haijiao Tianya until the traitor is found. Please leave."

With that, Ye Tianya walked towards the door without hesitation. As he stood there, a beam of white light shone down from the lintel, sweeping over him, and the door swung open with a bang. The three cars escorting Yang Ying drove in one after another. Only then did Ye Tianya turn back to Nangong Xiong and say, "Grandpa Nangong, please come in."

Nangong Xiong walked towards Ye Tianya without a second thought. He was eager to know about his granddaughter's condition. He even forgot to turn back and greet Old Han. Old Han knew Ye Tianya was a man of his word, and knew he wouldn't be able to enter Haijiao Tianya to see Nangong Qian'er that night. However, he had already confirmed with Yang Meng that Nangong Qian'er was alive, which put his mind at ease. As long as Nangong Qian'er was alright, everything would be fine, and he didn't care about being refused entry to Haijiao Tianya.

He already felt indebted to Ye Tianya for not intervening when the Fang family attacked Xueya Shuangye, and now, having agreed to Xia Zibiao's request to mobilize the Flying Dragon Team, resulting in Nangong Qian'er's injury and near death, he felt even more guilty. Even if Ye Tianya scolded him severely, he probably wouldn't be angry, let alone refuse him entry.

Watching the Haijiao Tianya gate slam shut, Old Han sighed helplessly, "Go back, Xia Zibiao, Ji Yuanqing. I also hope to see that traitor before leaving S City."

Xia Zibiao and Ji Yuanqing quickly patted their chests, promising to find the traitor as soon as possible. The group silently departed from the ends of the earth.

Nangong Qian'er had been moved from the third floor to a guest room on the second floor. She was currently fast asleep, though her complexion was still pale, it was much better than yesterday. Ye Tianya had cast a sleep spell on her, allowing her to recover in a deep sleep, which was why he had felt at ease going to the mourning hall during the day. Seeing his sleeping granddaughter breathing steadily despite her weakness, Nangong Xiong's tiger-like eyes reddened with excitement again. He turned around and suddenly knelt down before Ye Tianya.

Ye Tianya was shocked. Just a second before Nangong Xiong knelt down, he forcefully pulled him back up, saying, "Grandpa Nangong, you can't do this. If you kneel down, I won't be able to face anyone anymore."

Nangong Xiong didn't get up, choking back tears, "Qian'er is my only hope for living. Child, you not only saved Qian'er, but you also saved this old man's bones. Please accept my bow."

Ye Tianya forcibly pulled him up, saying, "Grandpa Nangong, I saved Qian'er for myself. You'll understand later. You don't need to bow to me. Qian'er is alright now. She'll wake up early tomorrow morning. You can stay here tonight. I'll have Sister Meng arrange a place for you."

Nangong Xiong looked at Ye Tianya in astonishment. This young man could actually withstand his decades of internal energy and lift him up. He admitted that he couldn't compare to this level of skill. Just what kind of person was this young man? This filled him with both surprise and delight. He was surprised that this young man possessed such high cultivation at such a young age, and delighted that his granddaughter had such a caring captain. Regardless of whether Nangong Qian'er and Ye Tianya were captain and teammate or just friends, as long as Ye Tianya was there, Nangong Qian'er would never suffer any injustice. For example, when Ye Tianya was in the hospital, his hair turned white instantly from anger when he saw the doctor shake his head – a level of

devotion even he, her grandfather, couldn't achieve. Nangong Xiong didn't insist on kneeling down. After being helped up by Ye Tianya, he sincerely said, "Child, the Nangong family will always remember this kindness. You go about your business; I want to stay here with Qian'er."

Ye Tianya personally brought Nangong Xiong a chair before leaving the room, leaving Nangong Xiong alone. As Ye Tianya exited, he nearly bumped into Yang Ying, who was coming out of the next room. Yang Ying was holding a waking Bei Bei in her arms. Ye Tianya quickly stepped aside and looked at Bei Bei, asking, "Bei Bei, did you sleep well?"

Bei Bei had no idea that her 'sleeping' father was gone forever, but she seemed to sense Yang Ying's sadness. She was somewhat sullen and didn't smile at all, but she still responded to Ye Tianya, "Uncle, Bei Bei is hungry!"

Ye Tianya reached out and took Bei Bei from Yang Ying's arms, saying, "Come on, Uncle will take Bei Bei to eat something. Let's go find Aunt Xiao Ye and ask her why our Bei Bei is hungry."

Bei Bei quickly shook her head. "It's not Auntie Xiaoye's fault, Beibei just got hungry from sleeping," said Xingye.

Ye Tianya grew increasingly fond of the sensible Beibei, carrying her into the living room. She said to Xingye, who was sitting there, "Xiaoye, go see if Sister Meng has prepared dinner. Beibei is hungry."

Chapter 202 Abnormal Xingye

Abnormal Xingye

Xingye stood up and snatched Beibei from Ye Tianya's arms, saying, "Come on, Beibei, Auntie will take you to the kitchen to snatch Aunt Meng's food."

Ye Tianya watched helplessly as Xingye carried Beibei into the kitchen. After arriving at Haijiao Tianya, Beibei immediately replaced Xingye's little princess status. Beibei's innocence and cuteness, coupled with her porcelain doll-like face, made her universally loved, appealing to all ages. Even Xingye treated her like a treasure. Ye Tianya could only shake her head.

Looking back, Yang Ying was sitting on the sofa, lost in thought. Whenever she had a spare moment, she was either crying her eyes out or lost in thought. Ye Tianya knew she needed more time to accept the fact that Ye Xiao was dead, and he could only sigh helplessly. At this point, even a negotiation expert wouldn't be able to persuade her; everything depended on her own efforts

.

At the Qin Group, Qin Ting was once again summoned to Qin Fucheng's office. Qin Ting was somewhat afraid to enter this office, because every time he went in, he would be berated mercilessly before leaving. He didn't know what kind of ordeal awaited him this time.

He entered somewhat nervously, and seeing his father's gloomy face, he felt even more uncertain. He cautiously called out, "Dad—"

Qin Fucheng looked up and, to Qin Ting's surprise, pointed to the chair in front of his desk, saying, "You're here. Sit down and let's talk!"

Qin Ting was taken aback, somewhat flattered, and sat down opposite Qin Fucheng. Qin Fucheng then spoke, "Qinglong has fallen, did you know?"

Qin Ting nodded, "Yes, Qinglong disappeared, several of his men were arrested, and his territory was completely taken over by the Qingfeng Group."

Qin Fucheng said, "I heard the police have two ledgers..." "These are all names of people connected to Qinglong. Were all your past actions clean?"

Qin Ting nodded, "Dad, don't worry. All my previous transactions were conducted in Qinglong's name; my name wouldn't be on them."

Qin Fucheng was relieved and then asked, "You knew beforehand that Qinglong killed the Night Owl brothers, right?"

Qin Ting nodded, "Yes, I knew beforehand. But at the time, I thought it would benefit us if Qinglong could seize more territory. It seems Night Owl's Qingfeng Group obtained Qinglong's ledger long ago, but delayed..." "They didn't hand them over to the police. If Qinglong hadn't blown up their dragon head, Qinglong wouldn't have been finished so quickly."

Qin Fucheng said, "You, you're so short-sighted. We're businessmen, we seek wealth, not revenge. Even if we wanted to seize territory, did we need to blow up someone's dragon head? Hey, you underestimate Qingfeng's men, underestimate Night Owl's influence. Night Owl was willing to go to jail for his men back then; his men all revered him like a god. Look at Qinglong's side now, they immediately scattered after Qinglong disappeared. They're practically a rabble. Qinglong is missing now..." "What do you plan to do?"

Qin Ting thought for a moment and said, "Dad, if we lose one Qinglong, we can find a second, a third Qinglong."

Just as Qin Ting was basking in his own satisfaction with his answer, Qin Fucheng suddenly flew into a rage, "Are you out of your mind, or is your head just full of water? I'm not asking about your future business; I'm asking about Qinglong. Now that he's missing, if he falls into the hands of the police and knows all about us, are you really going to let it go?"

Qin Fucheng's sudden outburst startled Qin Ting, but his words truly woke him up. If Qinglong fell into the hands of the police, and that guy spilled everything, it would be extremely detrimental to the Qin family. Qin Ting hurriedly stood up and said, "Dad, I'll go take care of it right away!"

After Qin Ting fled Qin Fucheng's office, Qin Fucheng shook his head helplessly and sighed, completely disappointed in Qin Ting.

Qin Ting, emerging from Qin Fucheng's office, was in a panic. He knew that if Qinglong were truly apprehended by the police, it wouldn't be a problem if he merely made baseless accusations of dealings with the Qin family. His biggest fear was that Qinglong might possess evidence of other transactions involving the Qin family. If the truth came out, Qin Ting knew his father well; protecting the Qin family was his father's inevitable choice. At that point, his father would undoubtedly sacrifice his freedom for the survival of the entire Qin family. And shifting all the blame onto Qin Ting was the only thing his father would do.

In his anxiety, Qin Ting mobilized all the resources behind the Qin family to investigate Qinglong's whereabouts. They quickly discovered that Qinglong's escape yacht had anchored at sea and that the police had found a body on the surface. However, the only thing the police hadn't found was Qinglong's body. At this moment, Qin Ting suddenly became much smarter, immediately realizing that Qinglong had definitely been captured by Qingfeng's men.

He knew that if Qinglong were captured by Qingfeng's men, he would surely die, and Qingfeng wouldn't hand him over to the police. He could have been relieved, but instead worried that Qinglong might reveal his secret to Qingfeng's men, putting him in a similarly passive position. Finding Qinglong was his only goal now.

"Monitor Qingfeng and Black Hawk's every move and find Qinglong's hiding place!" Qin Ting finally gave the correct order. However, he didn't know that his men had forgotten about someone beside Black Hawk: Ye Tianya. Ye Tianya had sensed their presence when his men began monitoring, but he couldn't immediately determine their origins or motives. Furthermore, Ye Tianya had been preoccupied with arranging Night Owl's funeral, and didn't care about being seen. Therefore, he hadn't yet identified them. Nevertheless, he cautiously instructed Black Hawk to inform his men to investigate who was monitoring them and what their purpose was.

Ye Tianya had been so busy with the funeral arrangements for Night Owl and the others that he hadn't had time to dye his hair. Now, his white hair had become his distinctive trademark; the members of the Shadow Spy organization knew the location of their god-like leader simply by seeing the white hair.

As Ye Tianya and Black Hawk escorted the remains of the four Night Owl brothers into the crematorium, Yang Ying, standing outside, fainted again from crying. Ye Tianya had to cast a sleep spell on her to put her to rest. Watching the remains of Night Owl and the others disappear into the corridor, Ye Tianya suddenly felt a wave of loneliness. His four older brothers, who had cared for him so much, were gone, gone forever. The loneliness he had felt for so many years surged back, making his nose sting. He forced himself not to shed tears in front of his men. But when he finally received the four urns of ashes from the crematorium staff, Ye Tianya couldn't hold back his tears. Black Hawk and his men, standing beside him, sobbed uncontrollably.

Back in the mourning hall, Ye Tianya woke Yang Ying up. Yang Ying calmed down considerably upon seeing the urn, quietly stroking it with tears in her eyes. The funeral music playing from the mortuary's speakers added to the somber atmosphere, making everyone's heart ache. Ye Tianya looked at the four black-and-white photos in the center of the hall. The faces and voices of the four Night Owl brothers flashed through his mind. Suppressing his grief, Ye Tianya was the first to step forward and offer the first incense stick. Then Black Hawk went up, followed by his men. One by one, the Night Owl's former brothers lined up to offer their incense, and soon the incense bowl was full.

To Ye Tianya's surprise, Xingye suddenly appeared outside the funeral home around 3 PM, accompanied by Lin Siyin and Li Lanyu. Xingye entered, calmly greeted Ye Tianya, then went directly to Ye Xiao's photograph, bowed deeply, lit incense, and finally approached Yang Ying, taking her hand to comfort her. Xingye's actions astonished Ye Tianya. Her mere presence in this place was already surprising, but her thoughtful comfort of Yang Ying made him feel as if Xingye had returned to her pre-amnesia state.

Lin Siyin and Li Lanyu were there solely to comfort Yang Ying. Having gotten to know Yang Ying during her stay at Haijiao Tianya, they politely offered incense to Ye Xiao and the others before standing beside Yang Ying. Ye Tianya checked the time and, seeing it was about right, signaled Black Hawk to prepare to take Ye Xiao and the others' ashes to the cemetery. On the way, Ye Tianya paid special attention to Xingye's behavior. After Xingye's brief period of unusual behavior at the mourning hall, she seemed to have returned to her usual innocent self. Although Ye Tianya was somewhat puzzled, he didn't have time to think about it in detail.

Black Hawk selected four adjacent burial plots for the four. The Spy Shadows had nothing else, but they had no shortage of people. With more people, things would be easier, and they quickly laid the four to rest. During this time, Yang Ying was surprisingly calm, not agitated at all. She personally laid the first handful of soil on Night Owl's grave, and Ye Tianya also laid the first handful of soil on Yang Huan and the other two. Like Night Owl, they had been orphaned and childless since childhood, and unlike Night Owl, they didn't have a wife. According to custom, the first handful of soil was to be laid by descendants. Night Owl only had one daughter, and Yang Huan and the others had no descendants at all. Ye Tianya didn't care about that. Being able to lay the soil

on the graves for the four made Ye Tianya feel a little better. The craftsmen quickly placed the prepared tombstones and fixed them with cement. The four new graves took root in the cemetery. The craftsmen's work was considered finished, but Ye Tianya and Black Hawk's matter was not yet finished, nor was Yang Ying's matter. They still had the most important things to do.

"Send someone to take Xiaoye home!" Ye Tianya looked at the four new graves, his heart filled with a mix of emotions he couldn't express. He turned back and gave the order to Black Hawk. Then he looked at Lin Siyin and Li Lanyu and said, "You two should go back together too."

Lin Siyin looked at Ye Tianya and asked, "What about you? And what about Sister Yang? Aren't

you coming with us?" Ye Tianya shook his head and said, "My sister-in-law and I have things to do. You two go back first."

Helpless, Lin Siyin had no choice but to go back with Xingye under the protection of the Black Eagle Sect. Only then did Ye Tianya look at Yang Ying beside him and ask seriously, "Sister-in-law, are you really going to do it yourself?"

Yang Ying nodded firmly and said, "Yes, I want to avenge your brother myself."

203 Mysterious Organization

Ye Tianya saw that Yang Ying had decided to do it herself. He knew that the seed of hatred had taken root in her heart. If he didn't let her do it herself, she would never be free. But Ye Tianya couldn't estimate what kind of psychological aftereffects killing someone would bring to an ordinary person, especially an ordinary woman. Ye Tianya was worried that after killing someone, it would leave a shadow in her heart. But she was so determined. Ye Tianya could only sigh and say, "Let's go. Let's go avenge Brother Ye." On the way to the abandoned shipyard, Ye

Tianya felt Yang Ying's hands clenched tightly together. Ye Tianya knew she was nervous and hoped she would change her mind by the time they arrived. He didn't want Yang Ying to have nightmares from now on.

A sudden phone call rang urgently on Black Hawk's shoulder. Black Hawk hurriedly answered, and Ye Tianya clearly heard someone reporting on the other end: "Brother, a group of people, more than thirty, are rapidly approaching the shipyard. They are highly skilled, agile, and decisive. They are up to no good. What should we do?"

Before Black Hawk could reply, Ye Tianya spoke up from behind: "Tell them we'll be there soon. Tell them not to act rashly, and if they don't act, tell them not to show themselves."

Black Hawk turned around in surprise, amazed by Ye Tianya's hearing. After giving the orders, Black Hawk told the driver to speed up while dialing another number: "Number Four, where are you now? ...Okay, take men to the shipyard immediately!" "

Yang Ying, standing next to Ye Tianya, asked worriedly, "Tianya, what happened?"

Ye Tianya reassured her, "It's nothing. It seems someone is trying to rescue Qinglong. Don't worry, sister-in-law, they won't succeed." Yang Ying

hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Tianya, is your Brother Ye a member of the underworld? Is A Ying also a member of the underworld?"

Ye Tianya was taken aback, looking at Yang Ying in surprise. It seemed Yang Ying had already figured everything out. Knowing he couldn't hide it anymore, he forced a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, we've been keeping it from you because we didn't want you to worry. Now that you've figured it out, I don't need to hide it from you anymore. You're not wrong, Brother Ye is a member of the underworld, and Brother Black Eagle is his subordinate, so naturally he's also a member of the underworld. I've always hated the underworld, but I admire Brother Ye because he's a member of the underworld with a conscience. He doesn't allow his subordinates to get involved in drugs, gambling, or prostitution. His family was torn apart because of drugs, which is why he became an orphan. His wish is to eliminate drugs, so I admire him." Yang

Ying fell silent, no longer speaking. Black Hawk and Ye Tianya were both worried, but powerless to do anything.

As they approached the shipyard, Ye Tianya faintly heard gunfire ahead, realizing a firefight had broken out. A slight urgency rose in his heart, and he called to Black Hawk, "Has Number Four arrived yet? Ask what the situation is inside. Did they brandish police badges?"

Black Hawk hurriedly dialed, but before he could finish, the phone rang. It was the same person who had reported earlier: "Brother, these people aren't police. We don't know where they come from, but they're incredibly skilled. We're about to be overwhelmed. Need backup!"

Without waiting for Black Hawk's report, Ye Tianya leaped out of the car and rushed towards the gunfire, throwing a parting shot at Black Hawk without looking back: "Protect your wife! If anything happens to her, you'll pay with your life!" "

Black Hawk was very anxious when he saw Ye Tianya taking the risk alone. However, Yang Ying in the car behind him still needed someone to protect her. He was so anxious that he was jumping up and down. He hurriedly called Number Four and gave him a strict order: "Number Four, have you arrived yet... The leader has gone there in person. Make sure you recognize him. The leader has a full head of white hair. If anything happens to him, you will come to me with your head." Ye

Tianya leaped towards the shipyard and quickly spotted the men in black attacking inside. Each of these men was likely as skilled as a special forces soldier. Ye Tianya glanced around but saw no police insignia, and his anger flared. He quickly scanned his left hand with his right, revealing a submachine gun in his hand, and lunged at the men attacking the shipyard. The submachine gun spitted fire furiously.

At the same time, Black Hawk's Number Four arrived with a small team, just in time to see the white-haired Ye Tianya angrily charging towards the men in black. Startled, he quickly waved for his men to follow. But he soon realized it was unnecessary. The men in black, noticing the gunfire behind them, turned to retaliate, but the white-haired Ye Tianya moved with ghostly speed, the bullets unable to touch him. Instead, those who turned back collapsed, blood spraying from their heads.

"Am I seeing things? Can you even see the leader?" Number Four couldn't help but doubt his own eyes and asked his subordinate. The subordinate shook his head in horror, "I can't see clearly, I'm seeing things too!"

Number Four retorted angrily, "See things my ass! Charge! Before I lose my head, I'll take yours!"

Number Four's arrival immediately turned the tide. Although the mysterious men in black were highly skilled, facing bullets from both sides, they could only retreat and run. Ye Tianya stopped his frenzied killing spree, letting Number Four's men fight, while he grabbed a survivor and dragged him aside.

The young man Ye Tianya had captured had already been shot in both legs. After being thrown to the ground, he looked at Ye Tianya in horror and trembled, asking, "You... are you a human or a ghost?"

Ye Tianya kicked the man's leg wounds twice, angrily saying, "That's not your concern. You know what I want." "

That guy stubbornly leaned towards

Chapter 204 Qian'er Awakens

Yang Ying seemed to smell the blood inside as well, and turned to walk outside. Ye Tianya gave Black Hawk a look, and Black Hawk immediately led his men inside.

Ye Tianya and Yang Ying waited outside for a while before Black Hawk dragged Qinglong out. Qinglong was already on the verge of death. Perhaps Black Hawk was afraid that Qinglong's appearance would frighten Yang Ying, so he specially tidied him up before coming out. He was no longer as frightening as Ye Tianya had seen.

Seeing Qinglong, who was no longer human, Yang Ying showed no pity whatsoever. She knew that the person in front of her was the mastermind who killed her husband, and she couldn't help but tense up and stare coldly at Qinglong, who was dragged out by Black Hawk and thrown in front of her.

Ye Tianya turned his head and said, "Sister-in-law, the person who killed my brother is him. You do it? Or should I do it?"

Yang Ying said firmly again, "I will!" "As she spoke, she pulled a small photo frame from her pocket. It was a picture of Night Owl. She placed the frame on the abandoned iron table next to her and said quietly, "Although you lied to Ying'er and didn't tell her you were a gangster, and Ying'er only now understands why you never come home, Ying'er is still your wife. Ying'er wants you to see your wife avenge you. In the afterlife, you must bless our Beibei with peace and happiness."

Ye Tianya, listening from the side, felt a pang of sadness. He glanced at Black Hawk beside him, who was in no better shape. When Yang Ying's eyes turned from the photo, they were filled with unusual determination and resentment. Ye Tianya gestured to Black Hawk, who immediately cocked his pistol and handed it to Yang Ying, saying, "Sister-in-law, the recoil of this pistol is strong. Be careful."

Yang Ying took the heavy pistol from Black Hawk and pointed it at the blue dragon on the ground with trembling hands.

The weakened Azure Dragon sensed his impending death and, with a strength he didn't know he possessed, roared, "Black Hawk, you... you son of a bitch, if you have the guts, kill me yourself... why call a woman... a woman to kill me!"

Yang Ying's hands, which had been trembling slightly, suddenly became unusually calm, and she said coldly, "Listen carefully, the person who will kill you is called Yang Ying, Night Owl's wife. You can report this to the King of

Hell—" "Bang!—" Yang Ying finished speaking and pulled the trigger. It was her first time firing a gun, and having never experienced the recoil of a pistol before, she was thrown backward by the recoil. The bullet missed Azure Dragon's head, hitting the ground beside his head. After regaining her footing, Yang Ying aimed at Azure Dragon again. This time, having learned from her previous experience, Yang Ying fired continuously, all hitting Azure Dragon's left chest. Azure Dragon let out a muffled cry and died, but Yang Ying kept her eyes closed, repeatedly clicking the trigger until the pistol was completely empty. Azure Dragon's chest was riddled with bullet holes.

The surrounding men in black all paled; this was the power of hatred.

Yang Ying threw her pistol to the ground, not daring to glance at the silently dead Qinglong, and turned around, saying, "Little Ye, I'm tired. Let's go back."

Ye Tianya glanced back at Qinglong on the ground, signaling Black Hawk to clean up the scene, and accompanied Yang Ying away. Yang Ying remained silent the entire way. Ye Tianya asked worriedly, "Sister-in-law, are you alright?"

Yang Ying shook her head, saying, "I'm fine, I was just thinking about your brother. Little Ye, you're not a gangster, are you?"

Ye Tianya was taken aback, not understanding why she suddenly asked this. So he said, "No, but Brother Ye entrusted the Shadow Spy team to me, so from now on..."

Yang Ying hurriedly said nervously, "No, you can't join the underworld. Ah Ying is already a member of the underworld, and there's nothing I can do about it. But Little Ye, your sister-in-law doesn't want you to follow in your brother's footsteps."

Ye Tianya thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, I never intended to join anyway. From now on, I'll leave all the Shadow Spy matters to Brother Black Eagle. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Yang Ying visibly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's for the best. Let Ah Ying handle it."

Back at the End of the World, Ye Tianya found everyone in the living room, the atmosphere relaxed. Suddenly, Ye Tianya thought of something and, without even greeting them, slipped into the side room.

Just as he expected, the atmosphere in the living room was so relaxed because Nangong Qian'er had woken up. Nangong Xiong was carefully feeding her porridge. When Ye Tianya came in, Nangong Qian'er immediately tried to sit up, but Ye Tianya quickly stepped forward to help her and pressed her back onto the bed, saying, "Qian'er, lie down and don't move."

Nangong Qian'er stared blankly at Ye Tianya's white hair, tears welling up in her eyes. Ye Tianya took the bowl from Nangong Xiong's hand and said, "Grandpa Nangong, please rest. Let me do this."

Nangong Xiong, seizing the opportunity, handed the bowl to Ye Tianya and left the room. Ye Tianya smiled gently and wiped away Nangong Qian'er's tears, saying, "Silly girl, why are you crying when you see me? Don't cry anymore. Isn't it wonderful to be alive? Come on, smile."

Nangong Qian'er didn't stop crying; instead, her tears flowed even more freely. Trembling, she reached out and stroked Ye Tianya's hair, saying with heartache, "Captain, your hair… Qian'er thought she would never see you again."

Ye Tianya put down the bowl and grasped Nangong Qian'er's hand that was stroking his head. He gently held her hand and smiled, "It's all over, it's alright, it's all alright. We've met again, haven't we? Without my permission, anyone who dares to take my Qian'er away will fight me to the death, not even the King of Hell. Qian'er, you're not allowed to cry anymore, or the captain won't be happy."

But Nangong Qian'er couldn't stop her tears. The more Ye Tianya spoke, the more she cried. Ye Tianya also thought of how Nangong Qian'er had almost left him forever a few days ago, and his heart ached. He bent down and hugged her. The wounds on Nangong Qian'er's body had been completely healed by Ye Tianya's Holy Light Restoration Technique, but her body was still extremely weak. Moving like this wouldn't be a big problem for her. Nangong Qian'er, held by Ye Tianya, cried even more uncontrollably. Ye Tianya didn't stop her anymore, because he himself couldn't help but shed tears. Nangong Qian'er could be said to have been reborn. Holding the lovely girl who had almost been separated from him by death in his arms, how could Ye Tianya not feel fortunate and moved?

"Captain, Qian'er won't leave you again, Captain, please don't send Qian'er away!" Nangong Qian'er clung tightly to Ye Tianya as if afraid he would run away, sobbing in his arms.

Ye Tianya stroked Nangong Qian'er's hair gently and said, "How could I send my Qian'er away? But Qian'er must be obedient and heal her injuries well. Now wipe away your tears and let the captain eat something."

Hearing Ye Tianya promise not to send her away, Nangong Qian'er tried hard to hold back her tears, sobbing in Ye Tianya's arms, "Captain, Qian'er will definitely be obedient, because Qian'er will always be the captain's Qian'er."

Outside the door, Nangong Xiong was taking the opportunity to make a phone call to Old Han: "Old Han, Xiao Ye is back, come over."

On the phone, Old Han said, "How is Qian'er? Does she need any medicine?" "I'll bring it over."

Nangong Xiong said, "This... I'm not a doctor, so I don't know what medicine to use, but Qian'er can speak now, and her spirits have recovered quite a bit. I checked her pulse; apart from being a little weak, it's surprisingly steady. Besides the news of catching the traitor, you don't need to bring anything else."

Old Han wanted to say something more on the phone, but Nangong Xiong didn't hear him because Yang Meng beside him said nervously, "Grandpa, hurry up! It'll be troublesome if Mr. Ye sees you making a phone call."

Nangong Xiong hurriedly told Old Han, "We'll talk when you get here," and then hung up. If Ye Tianya knew he was communicating with the outside world at this time, and became unhappy, Old Han might not be able to enter this remote corner of the world.

He increasingly couldn't understand Ye Tianya. What kind of wealth did a young man possess to live in this remote corner of the world? What kind of mental cultivation technique allowed him to possess such high-level martial arts skills at such a young age? What kind of wisdom enabled him to become a hacker shadow? What kind of medical skills allowed him to save two girls who had been given a death sentence by doctors in such a short time? What kind of courage allowed him to refuse entry to Old Han and the city's top official? Yet, for Nangong Qian'er, he didn't hesitate to fire two shots at Xia Zibiao. This made Nangong Xiong himself unable to understand the depth of Ye Tianya's feelings for Nangong Qian'er.

If it weren't for Qian'er, he might not have known that the person living in this "End of the Earth" was Ye Tianya. Even with his decades of experience, he couldn't help but marvel at the ingenious layout and construction of this "End of the Earth," especially the surrounding forest. He had taken a stroll there today, and after only a few steps, he sensed something was wrong. Fortunately, he retreated in time, otherwise he might not have been able to get out. Whether it was a misperception or not, Nangong Xiong vaguely felt that the interlaced rainbow in the sky above "End of the Earth" seemed more than just a rainbow; he felt that the rainbow possessed an unknown power. However, he couldn't be sure for the moment. He didn't dare to confirm it rashly.

Shortly after hanging up the phone, Ye Tianya came out of Nangong Qian'er's room. Yang Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After coming out, Ye Tianya simply asked her to get another bowl of porridge, and then went back to Nangong Qian'er's room. He didn't come out again until the communicator on the wall lit up and Xu Keming's figure reappeared on the wall. Only then did Yang Meng push open the door to call Ye Tianya. Just then, she saw Ye Tianya carefully feeding Nangong Qian'er porridge. The scene was exceptionally heartwarming, and she almost didn't want to disturb them. However, someone was waiting outside, so she had to interrupt Ye Tianya, saying, "Mr. Ye, we have guests who want to see you."

Ye Tianya stopped, turned around, and looked at Yang Meng, asking, "Who is it?"

Yang Meng hesitated for a moment before replying, "It's Xu Keming and the old man who came the other day."

Ye Tianya thought that the mole must have been found, otherwise Old Han wouldn't have come again. So he said, "Let them in."

Yang Meng quickly withdrew, and Nangong Qian'er asked, "Captain, is it Brother Xu?"

Ye Tianya smiled and said, "It must be Old Han coming to see you. Come, finish eating here first, then we'll talk."

Nangong Qian'er shook her head and said, "No, I'm already full. Captain, could you ask Ruyan and the others about their condition later? Grandpa said they were also injured."

Chapter 205 Trusting People

Ye Tianya nodded before leaving the room. Perhaps because of the arrival of Elder Han and the others, Lin Siyin and Li Lanyu went into the study, while Yang Ying carried Beibei into the room. Bing Shuang and Bing Xue went up to the third floor, leaving only Yang Meng, Xingye, and Nangong Xiong in the living room.

Not long after, Xu Keming brought Elder Han in, along with Xia Zibiao and Ji Yuanqing. However, Xia Zibiao and Ji Yuanqing were somewhat afraid to look at Ye Tianya, who was fearless when angry and dared to shoot in front of so many people. Ji Yuanqing didn't know who Ye Tianya was, but he could tell from the fact that Xia Zibiao didn't sue him after being shot twice but instead didn't dare to breathe loudly that he couldn't afford to offend this person.

Ye Tianya calmly greeted Elder Han and his entourage as they entered, saying, "Please sit down, everyone. Elder Han has brought good news today, hasn't he?"

Elder Han asked with a double entendre, "If I didn't bring good news, would you have let me into this remote corner of the world?"

Ye Tianya replied bluntly, showing no respect whatsoever, "No!"

Ye Tianya's complete lack of leeway left Elder Han and the other guests stunned. In Xia Zibiao's and the others' eyes, Ye Tianya's arrogance stemmed solely from Elder Han's backing, but they hadn't expected him to be so utterly disrespectful. He and Ji Yuanqing couldn't help but exchange a glance.

Elder Han felt somewhat embarrassed. As a superior, he couldn't afford to lose face in front of his subordinates, and he couldn't help but angrily say, "The traitor has been found. Can I go see Qian'er now?"

Ye Tianya, risking a complete break with Elder Han, was determined to avenge Nangong Qian'er. He forced Elder Han to agree to execute the traitor, and once again firmly stated, "No!"

"You—" Old Han's face turned extremely ugly, but he finally softened and said, "Then what exactly do you want?"

Xingye, who was next to Ye Tianya, sensed that Ye Tianya and the old man in front of him were about to have a falling out. In addition, Ye Tianya's face was not very good either. She shook her head on Ye Tianya's arm with some concern and said, "Brother, Xiaoye is scared!"

Ye Tianya's face melted instantly, and he smiled and said, "Xiaoye, go upstairs and play. Brother will come up and keep you company after I finish talking, okay?"

Xingye shook her head and said, "No, brother, don't be angry, okay? Let them see Sister Qian'er. Anyway, Sister has already woken up."

Ye Tianya sighed helplessly and glanced at Old Han and said, "Qian'er is in the third room, but... the punishment for that traitor should be commensurate with Qian'er's near-death experience."

Old Han finally saw the influence of Xingye in front of Ye Tianya. He knew that Ye Tianya's statement about the second one being unacceptable was to force him to execute the traitor, but the sudden appearance of Xingye forced him to give up the opportunity to negotiate. This made everyone present, except Yang Meng, take another look at Xingye.

With Ye Tianya's approval, Old Han finally stood up and walked towards Nangong Qian'er's room, followed by Nangong Xiong. Ji Yuanqing and Xia Zibiao dared not face Ye Tianya directly and quickly stood up and followed. Only Xu Keming remained sitting opposite Ye Tianya. He tried to speak, "Tianya, what happened last time was indeed due to an emergency..."

Ye Tianya interrupted him before he could finish, saying, "You don't need to say anything. I know there are people in your organization called 'superpowered individuals.' They have special abilities, which are your advantage. Using them to harm Bing Shuang and Bing Xue is unforgivable, no matter the reason."

Xu Keming's face flushed red. He said, "I know I shouldn't have attacked Bing Shuang and Bing Xue, but... but Old Han gave a death order, and we're in a difficult position. But Tianya, today, please don't let Old Han..." "You're in an awkward position now . It's fine when you're alone with him, but you should still give him some leeway in front of Old Han's subordinates."

Ye Tianya fell silent. To be honest, Xu Keming hadn't done much wrong. Ye Tianya's excuse for getting rid of him was simply to remove one of Old Han's eyes so he could do more things. As for not giving Old Han any face just now, thinking about it, it was indeed a bit inappropriate. However, Ye Tianya didn't feel guilty about it. Nangong Qian'er had barely escaped death, and Old Han couldn't escape responsibility either. Without his approval, Xia Zibiao couldn't mobilize the Flying Dragon Team.

Thinking of the Flying Dragon team, Ye Tianya also thought of the three injured girls in the hospital and couldn't help but ask, "How are Ruyan, Xin'er, and Piaoxue?"

Xu Keming said, "Ruyan and Piaoxue are both injured in the legs, Xin'er is more seriously injured in the lower abdomen, but neither is a vital organ, and the surgeries were all successful, but they may have to stay in the hospital for a few months before they can be discharged."

Xingye heard that Sima Ruyan and the others were injured and immediately said anxiously, "Brother, shall we go see Sister Ruyan and the others?"

Ye Tianya thought for a moment and said, "Xiaoye, it's too late today, let's go tomorrow. Now go to Beibei's room and keep Sister-in-law and Beibei company." Ye Tianya was still a little worried about leaving Yang Ying and Beibei alone, and having the innocent Xingye involved would help Yang Ying recover sooner.

Xingye obediently went to Yang Ying's room, leaving Ye Tianya, Xu Keming, and Yang Meng, who dared not even breathe, behind. Yang Meng knew that the people who came today were all important figures, and she was worried about being impolite in her hospitality. However, Ye Tianya showed them no respect, putting her in a dilemma. Should she entertain them or not? Unable to make up her mind, she finally decided to observe Ye Tianya's expression. Since Ye Tianya didn't seem to like these people, she wouldn't bother to be polite. So she poured a cup of tea and simply stood quietly to the side.

Soon, Old Han and his group came out of Nangong Qian'er's room. Ye Tianya saw that his eyes were red, and her resistance towards him lessened slightly. After all, he still cared about Nangong Qian'er.

After Old Han came out, he said to Xia Zibiao and Ji Yuanqing, who had followed him out, "You two go back and do your work."

The two men had been feeling extremely uncomfortable around Ye Tianya; whenever Ye Tianya's gaze fell on them, they felt their hair stand on end. The two shots Ye Tianya had fired at Xia Zibiao in the hospital still lingered in their minds, leaving them with a lingering fear. Accompanying Old Han was out of necessity, and also out of curiosity; they wanted to see what this "End of the World" was like inside. Just as they were about to leave, a beep sounded on the wall in front of them, and the scene at the entrance was immediately projected onto the white wall. Ye Tianya looked up and saw Gu Letian and Hu Qingzheng pressing the doorbell at the main entrance.

Ye Tianya turned to Yang Meng and said, "Sister Meng, open the door!"

Yang Meng said "Oh," picked up a remote control from the sofa, pressed a button, and the door swung open with a bang. Xia Zibiao, Ji Yuanqing, and the others stared wide-eyed; this "End of the World" was far too modern!

Xia Zibiao and Ji Yuanqing left in a hurry, and Ye Tianya didn't try to stop them. Seeing that guests had arrived, Old Han, not wanting to show himself

, said to Ye Tianya, "Little Ye, you have guests, so go ahead and do your work. We'll talk later." Ye Tianya didn't object; he didn't want to involve Old Han in front of Hu Huan and Gu Letian. Old Han re-entered Nangong Qian'er's room, and Gu Letian and Hu Qing followed. Seeing Ye Tianya's white hair, they were both surprised, but knowing about his history with white hair, they quickly recovered.

Gu Letian came in and asked with concern, "Xiao Ye, I heard that Manager Ye and Manager Yang from Qingfeng had an accident. Have you been absent from work these past few days because of that?"

Ye Tianya nodded and said, "Yes, I just finished this afternoon. Manager Gu, Brother Hu, what happened at the company?"

Hu Qing shook his head and said, "It's nothing. We just found out about Manager Yang and the others' accident. We came to see if you needed any help, but we were too late; it's all over."

Ye Tianya said with relief, "I'm very happy that you have this thought. We don't lack manpower. By the way, I haven't contacted Yin Chao these past few days. Brother Hu should know what's going on with him, right?"

Hu Qing laughed, "I almost forgot. That little guy has been acting like a madman these past few days, keeping his team of technicians locked up in the lab. They have to bring him food and water every day, and he hasn't stepped out of the lab once. It seems like he's researching some new program. He only came out this afternoon, and like the other technicians, he was covered in stubble. Like Robinson II. If they hadn't come out soon, I was going to come and ask you to stop them."

Ye Tianya knew that Yin Chao was researching that cipher program, but Ye Tianya was glad to see his enthusiasm. Ye Tianya suddenly remembered the matter at the shopping mall and looked at Gu Letian, asking, "President Gu, is everything settled at the shopping mall?"

Gu Letian smiled and said, "It's all done. Minister Lin signed the same contracts with the other two shopping malls as Manager Cai, and all the funds have been transferred. Unexpectedly, to save on advertising costs, the three shopping malls used the same name to form a management team and established a chain. These days, all three have been working hard to stock up on goods. The TV commercial is also in production and may be released this weekend."

"What about the Mo family and the Fang family? Any news?" Ye Tianya asked again.

Gu Letian said, "The Mo family and the Lan family have joined forces and are recovering. As for the Fang family, they seem to have suffered heavy losses due to the last network problem and haven't dared to harm us again for the time being. The Fang family's electronics business, which we acquired, has started to turn a profit, and Zhan Kun is now in charge of handling it. This young man is doing a good job, managing things very well and saving the head office a lot of trouble."

Ye Tianya ignored Gu Letian praising his employee in front of him. He knew that Gu Letian just wanted Ye Tianya to give Zhan Kun more important positions, but Ye Tianya didn't want to interfere in this aspect of management. He didn't have that much energy. So he said, "Regarding personnel, let's use

people according to their talents, Mr. Gu." Gu Letian greatly admired Ye Tianya's style of using people he didn't trust, and trusting those he used. Although he knew that Ye Tianya was the company president and he had to consult Ye Tianya on many things, Ye Tianya had almost never interfered with his management. This was something he found very gratifying.

Chapter 206 Family Dinner

Out of gratitude for Ye Tianya's trust, Gu Letian was somewhat excited, but as a seasoned veteran of the business world, his self-control was exceptional. He quickly calmed down and said, "Xiao Ye, recently some people in the industry have proposed to me the restructuring of the Financiers Club. Do you think it's necessary?" Gu Letian had met Xu Keming before; he remembered Xu Keming as Ye Tianya's driver. Back then, Ye Tianya hadn't avoided discussing issues with him, so today he didn't avoid Xu Keming either and asked the question directly.

Ye Tianya wasn't worried about Xu Keming overhearing this. He sneered, "Necessary? Heh, absolutely necessary. These people's skin is thicker than a brick added to a city wall. Forming a club is fine, but let's see if anyone dares to sign a contract to jointly deal with Mo Shaopei and the Lan family."

Ye Tianya's words were practically a rejection of the club restructuring proposal. Apart from Ye Tianya's Xueya Shuangye, which other company would dare to openly declare hostility towards another company? Gu Letian clearly sensed Ye Tianya's anger and quickly said, "I know what to do."

Gu Letian and Hu Qing came to report some company information to Ye Tianya, and also genuinely wanted to see if they could help with the aftermath of Ye Xiao and the others. After the three talked for a while, Gu and Hu drove away. Before Old Han came out, Xingye ran out carrying Beibei and said, "Brother, Beibei is hungry, let's have dinner first."

Ye Tianya checked the time; it was almost nine o'clock. For the past few days since Ye Xiao's accident, dinner had become midnight snacks. Ye Tianya felt guilty and picked up Beibei, saying, "Beibei, you must be starving. Let's have dinner now?"

Beibei curiously stroked Ye Tianya's hair and said, "Uncle, your hair is so strange." Ye Tianya called Yang Meng to prepare dinner while smiling and saying, " Beibei

, what's so strange about Uncle's hair?"

Bei's childish voice innocently asked, "Auntie's hair is always black, and Uncle's hair used to be black too, but why is it white now?"

Ye Tianya picked her up and walked towards the dining room, laughing, "Beibei, didn't you say Uncle likes cleanliness? Isn't white much cleaner?"

Beibei thought for a moment and said, "White is cleaner, but... but... it doesn't look right. Beibei still prefers Uncle's black hair."

Ye Tianya smiled wryly and said, "Then Uncle will turn it black tomorrow so Beibei can get used to it, okay?"

Beibei clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Okay!" She ran upstairs at night to fetch the ice and snow. Afterwards, he went into the study and called Lin Siyin and Li Lanyu, then went into Yang Ying's room and called Yang Ying out as well. Finally, he pushed open the door to Nangong Qian'er's room and called out, "Grandpas, dinner is ready."

Old Han turned to look at Xingye and asked, "Xingye, did your brother invite me?"

Xingye was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Grandpa. Just consider me Xiaoye's guest. Sister Qian'er, what would you like to eat? I'll bring it to you."

Nangong Qian'er lay weakly on the pillow and smiled, "Thank you, Xiaoye. I just ate something, so I'm not hungry now. You two go and eat something, or it'll become a midnight snack."

Xingye skipped and hopped, pulling Han Lao and Nangong Xiong out the door. At the door, he turned back and winked at Nangong Qian'er, smiling, "Sister Qian'er, shall I call your brother in to keep you company?"

Nangong Qian'er blushed slightly and quickly replied, "No, Xiaoye, the captain has been busy all day. Let him have a proper meal."

Xingye playfully smiled, "Sister Qian'er is so kind, she cares about my brother. I love sisters who care about their brothers the most, like Sister Shuang and Sister Xue."

Nangong Qian'er blushed again, making her pale face appear even more delicate. Fortunately, Xingye quickly closed the door and left, saving her from a moment of embarrassment. She felt a pang of sadness at Xingye's behavior.

Han Lao was taken aback when he saw everyone sitting in the restaurant. He hadn't expected so many people to suddenly appear in this remote corner of the world. His appearance surprised those already seated; he was a political figure who frequently appeared on television, and apart from Bei Bei, probably no one here didn't recognize him. When he entered, everyone except Ye Tianya, Bing Shuang Bing Xue, and Xu Keming stood up in surprise and exclaimed, "Han...Han..."

Old Han smiled and raised his hand to suppress his laughter, saying, "Little Ye used to call me 'Old Master,' which I liked. But this time when I came here, he changed his address to 'Old Han.' So everyone can just call me Old Han, don't be shy. I'm Xiao Ye's guest today, hahaha. Everyone, please sit down." When Old Han said that Ye Tianya no longer called him 'Old Master,' he looked at Ye Tianya, but Ye Tianya pretended not to see him and continued feeding Bei Bei.

Xingye smiled and invited Old Han to his seat, saying, "Grandpa, please sit here with Grandpa Nangong. My brother said this is the seat of honor, for the elderly."

Old Han chuckled and sat down, then smiled at Nangong Xiong, "Brother, would you like to sit in the seat of honor?"

Nangong Xiong laughed, "Alright, you're Xiaoye's honored guest today, you sit here, you sit."

Suddenly, Beibei, in Ye Tianya's arms, pointed at Old Han and said, "Uncle, I've seen him before!"

Yang Ying, startled to see Beibei pointing at Old Han, quickly pulled Beibei's hand down, saying: "Beibei, don't talk nonsense."

Beibei retorted, "But Mom, I've really seen this old man on TV. He always sits in the center. Why is he giving his seat to Grandpa Nangong now?" As soon as

Beibei spoke, everyone around was both nervous and amused. Yang Ying was sweating profusely. Ye Tianya then looked at Old Han and said with a double entendre, "See? Even a five-year-old can see through the pretense. I'm truly impressed. Mengjie, go get two bottles of wine. Let them get drunk so they won't be able to tell who the host is."

Lin Siyin, Li Lanyu, and Yang Ying stared in astonishment at Ye Tianya, who dared to speak to Old Han so rudely. Yang Ying was especially anxious, sweat dripping down her face. Ye Tianya had actually portrayed Beibei as someone who saw through Old Han's hypocrisy—what if she offended him? Yang Ying pleaded with Ye Tianya.

But then Old Han laughed heartily. Ye Tianya had someone bring him wine, meaning there was hope of easing tensions. He chuckled, "Nangong, young people these days are truly insightful! Even a five-year-old girl is so clever! Haha, I won't stand on ceremony with you. If you won't sit, I will. As this little one says, I'm used to sitting in the head seat. Hahahaha."

Only after Old Han sat down did the others take their seats. Old Han first glanced in surprise at Bing Shuang and Bing Xue sitting to Ye Tianya's left and right, then his gaze settled on Lin Siyin's face. He said with slight surprise, "You...you're General Manager Lin Siyin of Tianya Real Estate, right? What brings you here?"

Facing this important figure, Lin Siyin felt a little nervous and stood up earnestly, saying, "Lin Siyin respectfully awaits your guidance, Old Han."

Old Han chuckled and said, "President Lin, please don't be so polite. Please sit down. Tianya Real Estate caused quite a stir both domestically and internationally recently. President Lin's charisma is something we Chinese can be proud of." "I never expected to meet you here today. On behalf of the people of the whole country, I thank Tianya Real Estate for bringing glory to our nation."

Lin Siyin said politely for a few moments before sitting down. Ye Tianya then took the wine Yang Meng brought and personally poured two glasses, handing them to Nangong Xiong and Old Han, saying, "Don't keep saying you represent the whole country. She's my sworn sister. Her intention wasn't to bring glory to the country, but to make money. She only bought these few bottles of wine after making some money. Drink up a few sips, and you won't have to talk like an official when you're drunk."

Old Han laughed heartily without getting angry, "It's not easy to drink this Tianya wine." "Come on, Nangong, let's drink. President Lin, everyone, start eating! Don't be shy, be as relaxed as Xiao Ye, aren't you? Look at you all, you're not even as good as this little one."

The group finally started eating, but Ye Tianya had already fed Beibei. Seeing how much Ye Tianya doted on Beibei, Yang Ying looked pleased and said to Beibei in Ye Tianya's arms, "Beibei, be good. Go play in the living room after you've eaten, so your Uncle Ye can have a quiet meal too."

Beibei was exceptionally obedient and sensible, obediently... Ye Tianya got off and said, "Uncle, you said Beibei would see Uncle's black hair tomorrow, right?"

Ye Tianya smiled and gently pinched Beibei's chubby cheeks, saying, "Uncle did say that. I'll show Beibei my black hair tomorrow. Now go play. Be careful not to fall."

Beibei hummed in agreement and skipped away. Only then did Old Han look at Yang Ying and Li Lanyu and say, "Little Ye, I don't know these two yet. Aren't you going to introduce them to me?"

Ye Tianya originally didn't want to pay attention to Old Han, but Xu Keming had said he couldn't let him lose face. Helpless, Ye Tianya looked up and first addressed Li Lanyu, saying, "She was my first counselor in college, Li Lanyu. She's no longer a counselor and works at Tianya Real Estate now." After introducing

them, Ye Tianya turned to Yang Ying and said, "This is my sister-in-law, Beibei's mother, Yang Ying." As Ye Tianya introduced them, both women stood up to greet Old Han. Old Han only exchanged a few polite words with them. Fortunately, he noticed the black handkerchief on Yang Ying's arm and knew it was a sign of mourning, so he avoided asking about Beibei's family, which relieved Ye Tianya. Old Han fully utilized his ability to 'approach the masses,' quickly enlivening the atmosphere at the table. Coupled with Xingye's fearless and carefree spirit, no one felt constrained anymore.

After quickly finishing his meal, Ye Tianya went to see Nangong Qian'er. Leaving the restaurant, he couldn't help but sigh. He had been worried that Old Han would ask him about his sister-in-law and who his 'elder brother' was. His heart had been clenched; if Old Han had asked, Yang Ying would have been heartbroken for a long time.

Chapter 207 What Relationship?

Entering Nangong Qian'er's room, Ye Tianya was surprised to find Beibei dancing in front of Nangong Qian'er's bed. Seeing Ye Tianya enter, she stopped and smiled, "Uncle, Beibei was just dancing for Aunt Nangong. Aunt said Beibei dances so beautifully. Uncle, do you want to watch?"

Ye Tianya didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of a young girl, so he sat down on the edge of the bed, gently stroking Nangong Qian'er's happy face before encouraging Beibei, "Okay, Beibei, dance for Uncle."

Beibei actually started dancing quite well; it seemed she had learned the dance in kindergarten. Watching her twirl around the room like a little swan, Ye Tianya couldn't help but clap. This delighted Beibei, who happily ran out to tell her mother the good news.

Ye Tianya turned around, smiling gently as he smoothed Nangong Qian'er's hair, which was scattered on the pillow. "Qian'er, what would you like to eat?"

Nangong Qian'er gently shook her head. "Captain, I heard from Grandpa Han that Ruyan and the others were also injured. Could you go and treat them? Could you also bring them to stay with you? They all... really... really love you."

Ye Tianya paused, then gently stroked Nangong Qian'er's face. "Qian'er, I'll go tomorrow. If they're willing, there will be a room for each of them at the End of the World. Right now, just focus on recovering and don't worry about anything. I'll take care of everything."

Nangong Qian'er nodded obediently, closing her eyes to feel the warmth of Ye Tianya's hand. Ye Tianya took the opportunity to cast a sleep spell on her, and Nangong Qian'er fell into a deep sleep without realizing it. Ye Tianya gently kissed Nangong Qian'er's forehead, tidied the blankets around her, and quietly left the room.

Old Han and the others had already finished eating and were sitting in the living room. Seeing Ye Tianya come out, Nangong Xiong asked with concern, "Little Ye, how is Qian'er?"

Ye Tianya calmly replied, "She's asleep. She's fine; she'll recover in a while."

After saying this, Ye Tianya stood up and said to Xingye, "Xiaoye, brother is going to the hospital to see Ruyan and the others. If you're sleepy, go to rest early. Don't wait for me, okay?"

Xingye obediently said "Okay," and then added, "Brother, please bring Sister Ruyan and the others over too. Our house is safe; no one can hurt them anymore."

Ye Tianya nodded and stood up to go downstairs. Old Han quickly stood up and said, "Little Ye, I'll go back to the city with you."

Ye Tianya knew he had something to say, so he nodded. Xu Keming also hurriedly stood up and followed him downstairs. After coming downstairs, Old Han was surprised to find that the staff who had come with him were nowhere to be seen. He couldn't help but ask Xu Keming beside him, "Where are Xiao Gao and the others?"

Xu Keming glanced around and his expression changed drastically. "Oh no, I forgot to tell them not to go into the surrounding woods. They've probably hidden in the woods."

"Why are they hiding in there if you told them to come out?" Old Han said casually.

Xu Keming said with a bitter face, "This... I'm afraid we'll have to trouble Tianya again. This forest is a bit eerie. People who go in without knowing how they got there might not come out."

"Oh? Is it that magical? Or is it a formation?" Old Han looked at Ye Tianya in surprise. Ye Tianya remained silent, took out his phone, dialed a number, and said into the phone, "Sister Meng, turn on the navigation lights in the woods and bring everyone out."

Old Han and Xu Keming were surprised to see red beams of light shooting out from the surrounding woods. Then, a computer-generated voice came from within the woods: "Lost guests, please follow the light to leave the woods."

Soon after, many people emerged from the surrounding woods, all of them staff members brought by Old Han. They were all in a disheveled state, but there were a few exceptions. Two other people had come in with them, and these two were barely alive, practically crawling out. They were dragged over by Old Han's disheveled staff and reported, "Old Han, we found two suspicious people in the woods."

Seeing the disheveled state of these arrogant fellows, who seemed unwilling to admit they'd gotten lost in the woods, using their two spoils to boast of their supposed success, Ye Tianya couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He said, "These two sneaked into Cape of Heaven the night before last. I originally planned to release them tomorrow morning. Unexpectedly, they hitched a ride today. They weren't the first to try and sneak into Cape of Heaven; some came to cause trouble, some were curious, and some wanted to make money. However, the motives of these two who sneaked in during Elder Han's stay at Cape of Heaven are unknown. I'll leave it to you professionals to handle."

Elder Han looked at his group of staff members, each one disheveled and their faces still showing fear as they gazed at the woods. He was both curious and horrified about the forest surrounding Cape of Heaven, and then looked at the two barely alive... The man said, "Send two of these two men to Xia Zibiao. He knows what to do. Judging from your expressions, you've all suffered from this forest before."

The group all lowered their heads, but Old Han wasn't angry. He smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged. Little Ye is so confident in the safety of Haijiao Tianya because of this forest. This forest is truly amazing. If you could come and go as you pleased, Haijiao Tianya wouldn't be so famous. There's nothing shameful about it, but you should put away your arrogant tempers by now. What are you waiting for? Let's go."

Ye Tianya drove the two-seater sports car he bought for Xingye, sitting in the driver's seat himself, with Old Han beside him. Xu Keming and his other entourage drove in the front and rear, respectively.

After setting sail to the ends of the earth, Ye Tianya immediately spoke up, "You have something to say to me, right?"

Old Han hummed in agreement. Ye Tianya continued, "Is it about explaining the Fang family matter? Or about Qian'er's injury? Or about my expulsion of Xu Keming, Long Lan, and Long Zhu from the ends of the earth? If it's these, then there's no need to say anything. We all know what's going on."

Old Han turned his head and said, "I know it's useless for me to explain anything. Perhaps in your eyes I'm unforgivable, but I can't explain anything because from my perspective and standpoint, many decisions cannot be made solely according to my will. I was also powerless to do so."

Ye Tianya said calmly, "Being powerless to do so can explain everything. Since it was powerless to do so, you don't need to say anything more. I have a small request now: don't let Qian'er and the others take any more risks. You shouldn't be powerless to do that anymore, right?"

Old Han nodded without hesitation, "I can promise you that. They can stop carrying out any missions."

"What about that traitor? What do you plan to do with him?" Ye Tianya brought up the traitor who leaked the information. Old Han frowned and said, "We have to decide how to deal with those who leak information, it's a matter of law. I'm just as angry about Qian'er's accident, but as a government official, I can't bend the law for personal gain."

Ye Tianya's lips curled into a cold smile, and he didn't say another word until they entered the city and Old Han got back into Xu Keming's car. Only then did Ye Tianya say to him, "Whether it was intentional or unintentional, the consequences are the same. Those who do wrong should pay the price. The traitor must die to do justice to Qian'er and the three team members lying in the hospital. Besides, you're a government official, I'm not."

Old Han's expression changed, his mouth moved, but he didn't say anything. He sighed and got into Xu Keming's car. But after getting in, his face darkened. Ye Tianya had been going against him for days, which made him feel uncomfortable, but that was secondary. After all, he was a reasonable person and knew why Ye Tianya was acting this way towards him. What worried him most was that Ye Tianya's abilities were somewhat dangerous. Judging from his displayed abilities, he couldn't be treated like an ordinary person. While Ye Tianya seemed to be just one person, Nangong Qian'er's rapid recovery, the peculiar forest at the ends of the earth, his unparalleled martial arts skills that even Nangong Xiong admired, his invincible hacking skills online, and his unerring analytical abilities in the stock market—all of these made Old Han feel that this lonely man was frighteningly so. It was this very loneliness that made him uneasy. This was the most important thing.

He needed to firmly grasp Ye Tianya's hand. This was what Old Han was thinking with a furrowed brow and a grim face. For any unstable factor that threatened national security, he either had to stabilize it and bring it completely under his control, or—eliminate it!

Elimination seemed impossible, because so far, no one could replace Ye Tianya's position. Eliminating him would be more dangerous than keeping Ye Tianya around if similar troubles arose again.

Seeing Han Lao's gloomy face, Xu Keming assumed he was angry with Ye Tianya and felt a little worried. He couldn't help but say, "Han Lao, please don't be angry with Tianya. He's a good person at handling the big picture, but he loses his temper when it involves people he cares about or his loved ones. He's angry with you now only because Qian'er almost got into trouble. Weren't you also very angry when you heard about Qian'er's accident? He's angry not only because Qian'er is a member of the Flying Dragon team, but as far as I know, something seems to have happened between him and Sima Ruyan and three other girls during special training." "Nothing's wrong. He has another relationship with those four girls. Just think of him as a sulking kid; he'll be fine in a while. Like last time, even though he chased me away, he still listened to you and did things for you, didn't he?"

Old Han's expression suddenly changed from gloomy to sulking. He laughed and said, "A sulking kid? Heh, thinking about it, he really does seem like a sulking kid, but this guy seems to be taking his anger out on me. You said Qian'er has another relationship with him? What relationship?"

Chapter 208 Studying Tianya

Old Han became curious about the special relationship between Ye Tianya and Nangong Qian'er.

Xu Keming said, "Besides Yang Meng and her daughter Yang Ying, the other women in Haijiao Tianya probably all have ambiguous relationships with Tianya. Qian'er and the other three's feelings for Tianya are very obvious. This might be why Tianya is so angry about Qian'er's accident. However, I think that the traitor will definitely die even if he escapes legal punishment this time."

Old Han was stunned and couldn't help but turn his head and say, "Why do you think that? Does Ye Tianya really dare to break into the prison and kill someone?"

Xu Keming shook his head and said, "That's hard to say. You probably know that he fired two shots at Director Xia in the hospital that day. Fortunately, Mr. Nangong and I deflected his hand twice, otherwise Director Xia wouldn't have been able to wait for you to arrive. Although I haven't been in Tianya for long, I know his personality very well. It's 'I won't offend others unless they offend me, but if they offend me, I will never forgive them.' We only know that Xingye is his Achilles' heel, but his friends and lovers are equally inviolable."

Old Han was stunned again and said, "What do you mean by that?"

"Take Li Lanyu for example. Her boyfriend, Zheng Guorong, hired thugs to kidnap her in order to get her body. But it seems the thugs were bribed a second time by someone with power, and instead beat Zheng Guorong up and kidnapped Li Lanyu. Li Lanyu jumped out of the car and was disfigured; half of her face was gone, a bloody mess, a truly gruesome sight. But Ye Tianya healed her in no time and then took her to live with him at Haijiao Tianya. Then, Ye Tianya took advantage of Mo Shaocong's trust in Zheng Guorong to bring the Mo family, who had harmed Xingye, to justice." They snatched away the three shopping malls in their hands, forcing them to become third-rate players in the industry and ultimately unite with the Lan family. They used a borrowed knife to force the Mo family to eliminate Zheng Guorong, who had disfigured Li Lanyu, through a car accident. Looking at the Fang family, their attempt to suppress Xueya Shuangye against Ye Tianya not only failed to gain anything but also resulted in the loss of all their assets in the electronics industry, while also granting Xueya Shuangye a ten-year tax exemption. Furthermore, we noticed that Ye Tianya brought Yang Ying and her daughter to live in Haijiao Tianya. Yang Ying is the wife of a triad boss named Ye Xiao…”

“Triad? Ye Tianya’s older brother?” This time, Old Han was truly shocked. If Ye Tianya had connections to the triads, it meant he possessed his own power, forcing him to be even more cautious. Although even if Ye Tianya had some power, he couldn't cause much trouble, if he continued down this path, it might fuel his ambition and lead him astray.

Seeing Han Lao's surprise, Xu Keming quickly said, "I only recently found out about this information, so I haven't had time to report it yet. Don't worry, Han Lao. As I mentioned earlier, Tianya is still doing a good job in the overall direction. Although this Night Owl is a member of the underworld, he's a special case. He and three other partners built the Qingfeng Group. Of course, some entertainment businesses had to follow the rules and engage in gang activities to survive. But because Night Owl's family broke apart when he was young, and his parents both died because of drugs, his goal in creating the gang was to make S City drug-free. He was very strict, and no one under him touched drugs. Of course, this seemed unrealistic, and the goal was ultimately not achieved. He was then taken over by a drug lord called Qinglong Gang." "He was blown up. Tianya has been busy with the funeral arrangements for the four Night Owl brothers these past few days."

Old Han asked, still somewhat nervously, "How did Xiao Ye get involved with Night Owl's gang?"

Xu Keming said, "It seems that one of Tianya's brothers, Ye Xin, received care from Night Owl, who was imprisoned at the time, in prison, which is why he wasn't bullied by a guy named Lei Bao. As for Tianya's brother... we haven't been able to find out. We're still investigating with all our might. Tianya's background is too mysterious. We've never been able to find out where he came from, what his family is, or even the origins of Bing

Shuang and Bing Xue, who are by his side. It's all a difficult problem, and we simply can't find out." Old Han immediately understood. He knew that Ye Tianya was Ye Xin. If what Xu Keming said was true, Ye Tianya and Night Owl met in prison. That all made sense. So he said, "Alright, I know about Tianya's background, so you don't need to investigate anymore. Continue. After the incident with Night Owl, according to what you said, and considering Xiao Ye's personality, was he also planning to avenge Night Owl? Night Owl was considered his friend, right?"

Xu Keming nodded and said, "Yes, not just planning revenge, but already taking revenge. Qinglong, whom the police had been unable to catch, is dead. The reports from below say that just before dark today, he was shot and killed by Ye Tianya along with Night Owl's former subordinates. The one who fired the shot was Night Owl's wife, Yang Ying."

Old Han's face showed another look of surprise and said, "So, after Qinglong escaped to the sea, he mysteriously disappeared and was captured by Ye Tianya?"

Xu Keming nodded and said, "Yes, but we only confirmed this news this afternoon. We only found out this afternoon that Tianya captured Qinglong."

"Nonsense, utter nonsense! He's breaking the law! This kid is increasingly disregarding the law... Ugh..." Old Han angrily pounded the car seat, but suddenly stopped, muttering, "It's understandable, though. He doesn't even believe in the law anymore, why should he care?" Old Han thought of how Ye Tianya had been persecuted and almost killed because of the law. If his master hadn't saved him in time, there wouldn't be a Ye Tianya today. The law emphasizes evidence, but often, lawbreakers exploit loopholes in the evidence. That's why the legal profession came into being. They can always turn black into white by exploiting loopholes in the evidence, blurring the lines between right and wrong, playing word games to make money for themselves. It's only natural that Ye Tianya no longer believes in the law.

Xu Keming then said, "Actually, this might not be a bad thing. Now that Night Owl's former henchmen have seized all of Green Dragon's territory, a large area will boycott drugs. It's actually a good thing."

Old Han shook his head and said, "Even if it's a good thing, Xiao Ye can't get involved in the underworld. It's not good for his future development."

Xu Keming said, "He probably won't get involved. Knowing him as I do, he'll probably transfer the power Night Owl gave him to Black Hawk, Night Owl's former top henchman, and then wash his hands of it." If

Ye Tianya, who was driving in the front, knew that there was someone in the car behind him who knew him so well, yet was the one he had driven out of Haijiao Tianya, I wonder what he would think. Of course, first of all, Xu Keming would definitely be in trouble, because Xu Keming had investigated him. This was something he couldn't tolerate. Who would want their every move watched? Xu Keming was a professional; he had meticulously studied Ye Tianya's personality during his time with him, and combined with his access to intelligence networks, he likely knew more about Ye Tianya than anyone else in the underworld.

Old Han said worriedly, "You stay in S City and keep a close eye on him. It's fine if this kid throws a tantrum, but don't let him cause any major trouble. I can't handle that. If he doesn't relinquish his underworld responsibilities, you must tell me immediately."

Xu Keming nodded in agreement, but asked疑惑地问道, "Old Han, I've never understood why you treat Ye Tianya so specially. Could his abilities alone threaten national security?"

Old Han sighed and said, "He alone cannot threaten the security of a country, but he can plunge it into chaos. You might ask why I don't defuse this time bomb. The reason is..." He can also protect the country's security and prevent chaos in some way; he's a double-edged sword. Until someone can replace him in this ability, he's a treasure, a national treasure. Actually, although this little guy's temper makes me angry, I think about it again, and the child is quite pitiful. If I had a grandson like him, even if he just vented his anger, I would be content. If he really went astray, I really couldn't bear to ruin him. So you must keep a close eye on him."

Although Xu Keming didn't understand what it was about Ye Tianya that made Old Han cherish him so much, he still nodded solemnly. Suddenly remembering something, he said, "Old Han, we have another unconfirmed piece of information. There's a very mysterious force in S City that clashed with Tianya this afternoon. This force operates with military discipline and style, but they don't have any military insignia. This force wanted to rescue Qinglong from Tianya, or perhaps they wanted to kill Qinglong to silence him, but they encountered this monster, Tianya, and were driven back. Our people are intensifying their investigation into this force, but we haven't been able to find out their origins yet."

Old Han turned his head in surprise and said, "A mysterious force? Military style? Rescuing Qinglong or killing him to silence him? Whether it's rescue or killing, they must have a close relationship with Qinglong. Investigate quickly. This kind of organized and disciplined force is no less than a rabble of gangsters; it absolutely cannot be ignored."

Xu Keming nodded solemnly again. Ye Tianya's sports car had already arrived at the entrance of the military hospital. Only then did the two end their conversation. However, Old Han quickly reconsidered his understanding of Ye Tianya and Xu Keming's words. Ye Tianya was an orphan who had witnessed the harsh realities of life from a young age, harboring some resentment towards the world. Being framed further deepened his dissatisfaction and distrust of society, inevitably leading to some extreme views. However, from another perspective, he was far more mature than his peers.

It was precisely this 'mature' perspective on society, coupled with his somewhat extreme thoughts, that was Old Han's biggest concern.

Upon returning to society, Ye Tianya's first priority was to clear his name, which was understandable. However, his full utilization of the media resources clearly reflected his distrust of society and the law. Moreover, his actions completely disregarded procedures; only he could have illegally detained witnesses. Furthermore, Xingye's mother's actions towards Xingyu further chilled Ye Tianya's heart, making him indifferent to those around him. It was precisely for this reason that he cherished his lover and his few friends so dearly, and would not tolerate anyone harming them. That's why he would pursue those who hurt his friends and loved ones to the end.

Old Han thought back to the time when the Fang family dealt with Xueya Shuangye. Ye Tianya must have desperately wanted him to help him, but he didn't. Ye Tianya probably thought that he only remembered him when he needed him. That's why he was disappointed in him and drove Xu Keming away. Looking back now, Old Han felt some regret. Even if he had no choice, he should have at least made a phone call to comfort him. He regretted not making the call. Now that Ye Tianya was cold towards him, it would take some effort to repair his position in his heart.

After thinking it over, Old Han suddenly thought of a few people who could help him retain Ye Tianya for his own use—the four members of the Flying Dragon Team.

Chapter 209 Come Home With Me

Ouyang Xin'er lay quietly on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the IV drip bottle on the shelf above her bed, watching the drops fall one by one, flowing down the transparent plastic tube into her body. Yesterday, Old Han had visited them, and they all knew that Ye Tianya had saved Nangong Qian'er's life and taken her to live at the End of the World. The three girls felt a huge weight lifted from their hearts; as long as Qian'er was alive, they could finally focus on their recovery.

She remembered how they had endured the days when they were consumed by guilt and unable to focus on their recovery before Qian'er's return. She couldn't sleep then, her mind filled with Nangong Qian'er's voice and smile, and she was constantly worried that Ye Tianya would blame them for not taking good care of Qian'er. She couldn't truly sleep until yesterday, when Old Han told them the news of Qian'er's awakening. All three of them couldn't help but cry. It was the first time Ouyang Xin'er had cried out of joy, and looking back, she felt that the feeling of crying out of joy was strange and inexplicable. Already injured and having not slept for a while, the three of them cried themselves to sleep, finally getting a good night's rest.

Turning her head to look at the two hospital beds beside her, Sima Ruyan and Murong Piaoxue were still fast asleep. Their injuries were to their legs, so as long as they didn't move, it wouldn't affect their rest, and they were sleeping soundly. However, Ouyang Xin'er was injured in her lower abdomen, and breathing easily aggravated the wound, so she was the first to wake up.

"How is Qian'er?" Ouyang Xin'er wondered, idly counting the IV drips. Thinking of Nangong Qian'er, she thought of Ye Tianya. Of the four girls, she was the first to see Ye Tianya. At that time, Ye Tianya stood on the ancient city wall of Lincheng, facing the wind and snow. The feeling of utter loneliness, as if he were the only one in the world, deeply moved her. That lonely photograph was still stored on her computer. From that moment on, she always dreamed of that scene—that cold city wall, that lonely, cold person.

She knew that among the four girls in the Flying Dragon Team, Nangong Qian'er was Ye Tianya's favorite. Nangong Qian'er's gentleness and obedience were almost identical to Xingye's, though she felt like a substitute for Xingye. But who could say it wasn't simply because Ye Tianya preferred pure and gentle girls?

Besides Nangong Qian'er, among the other three girls, Sima Ruyan was Ye Tianya's most trusted confidante. Ouyang Xin'er also knew that Sima Ruyan possessed natural leadership qualities—calm, composed, and steady—and her unique personal charm was convincing. Sima Ruyan would be a great help to Ye Tianya. It was entirely reasonable for Ye Tianya to rely on her.

Next was Murong Piaoxue, this innocent and carefree girl. Even if the sky were to fall, as long as it didn't hit her head, she'd still playfully cause a few mischiefs beforehand, making everyone smile. She always brought laughter to everyone, and it was precisely because of her mischief, her innocence, and her carefree nature that she stood out from the crowd. Therefore, she became the person Ye Tianya cared for most besides Nangong Qian'er.

Ouyang Xin'er thought and thought, but couldn't think of anything outstanding about herself. She suddenly realized how mediocre she was, so mediocre that she was almost forgotten. She suddenly felt that she was the most useless of the four girls, lacking Nangong Qian'er's pure appearance, Sima Ruyan's outstanding talent, and the laughter Murong Piaoxue brought. To Ye Tianya, she was nothing more than a dispensable person. She couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness. Despite this, she couldn't let go of that figure in her heart. Although he was no longer as lonely as when she first met him, she still couldn't let go. This wasn't just because she was a traditional woman from a noble family, upholding the principles of chastity, but also because that figure was deeply rooted in her heart.

Three days had passed; she had been lying in the hospital for three days. How she longed for that figure to appear before her, even if he didn't say anything, just to look at her, so that she could see him too. But this small request, after staring at the door since waking up and for several hours until nightfall, she finally gave up on that hope. She secretly wondered why it was Nangong Qian'er who was seriously injured and not her. If it were her, Ye Tianya would surely be by her side taking care of her now.

"The captain's hair has turned white again for Qian'er. He must be blaming us for not protecting Qian'er well enough, that's why he didn't come to see us!" Ouyang Xin'er thought sadly. She glanced again at Ruyan and Piaoxue, both fast asleep on the two beds beside her, and couldn't help but sigh. They were both pathetic. No matter how outstanding their innocence or competence, they were utterly vulnerable before Ye Tianya's icy and snowy, pure and perfect face. All their former confidence vanished the moment they saw him. What difference was there between them and herself, having chosen to leave?

Ouyang Xin'er closed her eyes and thought of Ye Tianya fiercely once more. She decided that after this final thought, she would never think of him again. Because this was the last time, she thought about him meticulously, from the first time she saw him in Lincheng, to seeing him in the cafeteria in Huaxia, and then every detail of the special training. She played it all over like a movie, afraid of missing a single moment. Tears streamed down her face without her even noticing.

A warm hand gently touched Ouyang Xin'er's face, catching a falling tear. It also startled the grieving Ouyang Xin'er, who opened her eyes abruptly as she felt the sudden touch. When she saw the person before her, a complex mix of emotions surged within her. This was the person she had just resolved to forget after this final thought, but now that he was actually standing before her, she realized how foolish her decision had been. She would never forget this face. Feeling the warmth of his hand on her cheek, seeing the tenderness and apology on Ye Tianya's face, Ouyang Xin'er didn't know how to describe her feelings—was it sweet, or bittersweet?

"Captain—" Ouyang Xin'er choked out, her voice breaking. Ye Tianya's sudden appearance had thrown everything she had planned into disarray; the idea of forgetting him was completely forgotten.

"Xin'er, why are you crying? Does your wound hurt a lot?" Ye Tianya gently wiped away the tears from Ouyang Xin'er's eyes, but to his surprise, his question only caused her tears to flow more uncontrollably. Her crying made Ye Tianya even more anxious, genuinely believing her wound was in great pain. He quickly grabbed her hand, and then, where their hands met, they were enveloped in a ball of white light.

Ouyang Xin'er immediately felt a warm current flow from her palms into her body. She clearly felt the heat circulate through her body before heading straight for the wound on her abdomen.

Ouyang Xin'er stared in astonishment at the white light where Ye Tianya's hand was, forgetting even to cry. She could clearly feel the wound itching and healing at a tangible speed. The speed at which she could feel her wound healing—what did that mean? Ouyang Xin'er's mind went blank.

Suddenly, Ye Tianya released Ouyang Xin'er's hand and reached towards her abdomen under the covers. Ouyang Xin'er immediately snapped out of her daze, feeling Ye Tianya's hand on her lower abdomen. Her pretty face instantly flushed red, and her body began to tremble involuntarily. She asked shyly and questioningly, "Captain, what are you doing?"

Ye Tianya then realized he had been too abrupt. In his mind, this girl had already shared a physical bond with him, so there was no need to avoid anything. However, he hadn't considered that girls are shy in this regard. Ouyang Xin'er's question reminded Ye Tianya, who was only focused on healing her injuries. Seeing Ouyang Xin'er's flushed face, Ye Tianya immediately realized how rude he had been to reach in so abruptly. He felt embarrassed and awkward. However, he quickly composed himself, looking deeply into Ouyang Xin'er's eyes and solemnly saying, "Xin'er, let me treat your wounds, then come home with me, okay?"

"Go home with you?" Ouyang Xin'er stared blankly at Ye Tianya, her eyes momentarily glazed over, as if trying to grasp the meaning of 'go home'.

"Yes, Xin'er, come home with me. I don't want you to suffer any more harm. We'll be together forever, okay?" Ye Tianya confirmed with Ouyang Xin'er, withdrawing his hand that had already reached for her lower abdomen, and gently stroking her face.

"Go home? Forever together?" Ouyang Xin'er still seemed somewhat incredulous, looking at Ye Tianya with a questioning gaze. But this time, her eyes were filled with light, anticipation, and eagerness.

"Yes, Xin'er, you don't want to?" Ye Tianya asked with some concern.

Tears welled up in Ouyang Xin'er's eyes again. "Come home with me!" These words came from Ye Tianya's mouth, and he said them to her. Not only her, but all four girls of the Flying Dragon Team had longed for this for countless days, and now it was truly happening to her. She wanted to smile happily, but tears took the lead and flowed out first.

"Yes, Xin'er is willing to go home with the captain, captain—" Ouyang Xin'er's voice trembled with excitement, choked with joy. Her excitement infected Ye Tianya, and he couldn't help but lower his head and gently kiss the corner of Ouyang Xin'er's tear-stained eye.

The door opened, and Old Han appeared in the doorway, just in time to see Ye Tianya lean down to kiss Ouyang Xin'er. Both of them looked towards the door after feeling it open. Upon seeing Old Han, they immediately became like children caught doing something wrong, both nervous and shy. Ye Tianya was somewhat better, but Ouyang Xin'er immediately blushed and pulled the blanket to cover her face.

Old Han laughed heartily, "Looks like I've come at the wrong time, haha, keep going, I'll go sit with the on-duty doctor again. Haha..."

Chapter 210 I Can't Live Without You

Old Han's hearty laughter disappeared at the door, gradually fading into the distance. Only then did Ye Tianya look down at Ouyang Xin'er, only to see Ouyang Xin'er looking surprised, gently lifting the blanket and reaching towards her abdomen, asking Ye Tianya in surprise, "Captain, what did you do to me? My wound... is healed?"

Old Han's smile made Ye Tianya feel much better, and he gently stroked Ouyang Xin'er's face, smiling: "I'll tell you when we get back, okay? Let me treat your external wound now and remove the stitches."

Ouyang Xin'er nodded gently. Ye Tianya reached towards her abdomen again. When Ye Tianya's hand touched Ouyang Xin'er's skin, she couldn't help but tremble all over again, her face turning as red as the sunset. However, she quickly calmed down, and the blush on her face was replaced by surprise and enjoyment, because she once again felt the speed at which the wound was healing. She couldn't help but look down, but could only see a sliver of light peeking out from under her hospital gown. Then she felt her skin being moved a few times, and Ye Tianya withdrew his hand. In his hand were a few small pieces of suture thread and the gauze wrapped around the wound. Ouyang Xin'er couldn't help but reach out and touch the wound on her abdomen. Upon touching it, an expression of disbelief immediately appeared on her face, because the wound was not only healed, but also completely intact, smooth as jade.

For a girl, even a small scar on her body can be a lifelong regret. Ouyang Xin'er was no exception. After being shot, she inevitably had to leave a scar on her body, which she had no choice but to accept. However, if she could make the scar disappear and return to her original state, she would be overjoyed. In a moment of impulse, she didn't care that Ye Tianya was right next to her. She sat up abruptly, looked down and lifted the hem of her clothes, revealing her smooth, jade-like abdomen. After confirming there were no scars, she remembered Ye Tianya was watching her. Looking up, she saw him staring at her abdomen. Reflexively, she pulled her clothes down, blushing, and asked, "Captain, how...how did you do that? Where's the scar?"

Ye Tianya looked away from her abdomen and chuckled softly, "That's a secret, Xin'er. Will you keep it a secret for the captain?"

Ouyang Xin'er was still completely bewildered, unable to comprehend how Ye Tianya had healed her wound without leaving a single scar. As a university student and an atheist, she didn't believe Ye Tianya was a god. Still confused, Ouyang Xin'er heard Ye Tianya ask her to keep it a secret. She hadn't figured out what she was keeping secret, but subconsciously knew she had to keep it a secret, so she mechanically nodded.

At that moment, Sima Ruyan's voice came from the bed behind Ye Tianya: "I'm afraid it can't be kept a secret anymore, because I already know."

Ye Tianya turned around. Sima Ruyan had woken up sometime earlier, her eyes misty with tears as she silently watched them. As Ye Tianya turned around, he sensed a pair of tearful eyes looking at him from the other bed opposite. Murong Piaoxue had also woken up, and like Sima Ruyan, tears streamed down her face. Ye Tianya felt a pang of heartache. He gently stroked Ouyang Xin'er's face, signaling her to rest, and stood up, unsure which bed to go to. Both girls were looking at him with teary eyes, and he hesitated.

Sima Ruyan noticed his hesitation and spoke, her voice choked with emotion, "Piaoxue's legs are injured; treat her first."

Ye Tianya glanced gratefully at Sima Ruyan before walking towards Murong Piaoxue. Murong Piaoxue stared intently at him as he approached, and only when he reached her bedside did she sob and call out, "Captain."

Ye Tianya didn't speak, but gently wiped away the tears on her face. This innocent girl, who always had a carefree smile in front of him, now had tears that deeply tugged at his heartstrings.

Feeling the gentleness of Ye Tianya's hand, Murong Piaoxue spoke again, "Captain, you... you've finally come to see us. Piaoxue missed you so much."

Ye Tianya stroked her tear-stained face with emotion and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Piaoxue. Someone who was very kind to the captain passed away the day you were injured. The captain had to stay there. The captain missed you all too. Piaoxue, does your wound hurt? The captain will heal it for you. Come home with the captain. Okay?"

Murong Piaoxue nodded excitedly. She had woken up shortly after Ye Tianya entered the room and had heard most of his conversation with Ouyang Xin'er. When Ye Tianya mentioned going home with him, she immediately nodded repeatedly, as if afraid that Ye Tianya would change his mind. Her tears dried, and Murong Piaoxue looked at Ye Tianya nervously. Her wound was on her thigh, and Ye Tianya, to heal it, would inevitably have to put his hand inside her pants.

Seeing her nervousness, Ye Tianya quickly reassured her, "Piaoxue, just think of the captain as a doctor. Don't be nervous, it won't hurt at all. Ask Xin'er if you don't believe me."

Murong Piaoxue relaxed slightly and hummed in agreement. Ye Tianya reached out and took Murong Piaoxue's hand. Like Ouyang Xin'er, Murong Piaoxue was quickly surprised until Ye Tianya reached to pull down her pants. She only then came to her senses, reflexively grabbing her waistband. However, she quickly let go. Ye Tianya, calm and without any ulterior motives, pulled down Murong Piaoxue's pants. His gaze didn't linger on the white flesh of her thigh, nor on the mysterious area around her groin, but rather on the blood-red gauze seeping through her leg. With a pained expression, he asked, "Piaoxue, did it hurt when you were injured?"

Seeing the clear, unwavering pain in Ye Tianya's eyes, Murong Piaoxue's blush immediately faded. She shook her head, saying, "No, it didn't hurt. Qian'er was seriously injured; I've forgotten whether it hurt or not."

Ye Tianya tenderly removed the gauze, repeating his previous technique. After a flash of white light, Murong Piaoxue's leg was completely healed. Except for some bloodstains, her skin was smooth and flawless, showing no signs of injury. To Murong Piaoxue's astonishment, Ye Tianya gently pulled up her pants, then suddenly lowered his head and lightly kissed her, saying, "Piaoxue, rest a bit. I'll treat Ruyan's injury, then we'll go home."

Murong Piaoxue didn't answer Ye Tianya, because she was stunned. A kiss! A kiss! A kiss from Ye Tianya, a kiss from her beloved captain. Her mind went blank for a moment; she didn't even respond to Ye Tianya's words.

When Ye Tianya walked to her bedside, Sima Ruyan had already stopped crying. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect Qian'er well."

Ye Tianya, with the same gentleness, wiped away her still-wet tears, saying, "Don't blame yourself. Qian'er is fine. No one can take either of you away from me, not even the King of Hell. Are you willing to come back with me? The Flying Dragon Team will never be complete without you." "

What about Ye Tianya without me?" Sima Ruyan suddenly asked.

Ye Tianya paused, then said firmly, "Ye Tianya without you is also incomplete. Come back with me."

Endless tenderness flashed in Sima Ruyan's eyes as she nodded, saying, "Sima Ruyan without the Flying Dragon Team is incomplete, and Sima Ruyan without Ye Tianya will be even less complete. I'll go back with you."

Sima Ruyan's words made Ye Tianya's hand, which was stroking her face, tremble slightly. Sima Ruyan was more open-minded than Murong Piaoxue. She knew that Ye Tianya would have to take off his pants to treat her wounds, so she closed her eyes, blushed

, and took off her own pants, saying, "Hurry up, Old Han might come in again soon." Thinking of Old Han's disrespectful laughter, Ye Tianya suddenly felt that he didn't dislike him as much anymore. He smiled slightly and easily treated Sima Ruyan's wounds. Then he bent down, reached under her knees, and picked her up. Sima Ruyan let out a soft "ah," but naturally wrapped her arms around Ye Tianya's neck. Her face was flushed as she buried her head in Ye Tianya's neck. With

the warm and soft body in his arms, Ye Tianya felt much better. He smiled and said, "Let's go home. Xin'er, Piaoxue, lie down for a while. The captain will come to pick you up soon."

After Ye Tianya finished speaking, he went out, but just then he ran into a nurse who came to check on the patients. When she saw Ye Tianya's white hair, she screamed and ran away. Ye Tianya threw his notebook to the ground, stunned. He was unaware that when he shot Xia Zibiao that day, he had scared the nurse so badly she fainted. His white hair was the hallmark of that killing machine; the nurse, seeing it, was naturally terrified and ran away.

Ye Tianya shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Ruyan, am I really that scary?"

After leaving the ward, Sima Ruyan was no longer so shy. She released her right hand from Ye Tianya's neck and gently stroked his white hair, saying, "Your hair has turned white again. This nurse said she saw your white hair with her own eyes before she fired the gun to kill Xia Zibiao. How could she not be afraid of you? If it were me, would you turn white for me, would you kill for me?"

Ye Tianya turned his head and looked at her affectionately, saying, "I've always thought Ruyan understood me very well. Why would you ask such a question? If anything happened to either of you, it would hurt me the same way." "

Ye Tianya looked at Sima Ruyan so closely. Sima Ruyan blushed slightly and said shyly, "I thought I knew you very well, but you just kissed Xin'er and Piaoxue, but you skipped mine. Of course I had to ask."

Ye Tianya was stunned again, then couldn't help but laugh. He carried her downstairs and put her in the van, then leaned down and kissed her on the lips, saying, "Wait for me, I'm going to pick up Xin'er and Piaoxue."

Sima Ruyan's body stiffened as if she had been electrocuted by the kiss, and she mechanically hummed in agreement before staring blankly at Ye Tianya's back upstairs. This time, they had all gotten what they wanted. This injury was their misfortune, but it brought them the happiness they desired. This mysterious boy had finally accepted them. The lingering scent on her lips made her stare blankly for a moment.

When Ye Tianya turned to go upstairs, he was blocked at the door of the ward by Old Han and several doctors. Seeing the doctors' expressions, Ye Tianya immediately knew they wanted to stop him from taking Murong Piaoxue and Ouyang Xin'er away, and his face turned cold. He walked straight inside. One of the doctors, somewhat timidly, stopped him, saying, "Ye... Ye Tianya, you can't take the patients away. Their injuries can't be moved."

Old Han also spoke up, "Young Ye, for their sake, please don't be so willful."

Ye Tianya calmly replied, "If I take them away, I can naturally take responsibility for their wounds. Others may not believe me, but you shouldn't stop me."

Old Han was taken aback. Ye Tianya had pulled Nangong Qian'er back from the brink of death; he certainly wouldn't be unable to handle such a minor gunshot wound. Relieved, he said to the doctors, "Let him take them. I'll handle the discharge procedures."
