By late night, Jin Ye finally woke up.
Su Ding looked at him joyfully and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"
"No," Jin Ye said, relieved to see Su Ding unharmed. His gaze shifted from Su Ding's face to the unfamiliar room. "Where is this?" he asked, confused.
"My mother's room," Su Ding replied softly.
Seeing Jin Ye's confused expression, Su Ding explained everything to him.
Su Ding sighed. "I just don't know if Grandpa has managed to rescue Uncle yet, and why he won't let us see him."
If he was still upset about their mother's affairs back then, he shouldn't have sent people to bring them here.
But if he didn't mind, why wouldn't he meet them?
Jin Ye patted her hand and said sternly, "The situation is still unclear. Why Ouyang Donghe is involved, the conspiracy between organization X and Ouyang Gong, and Ouyang Gong's identity... These things need to be sorted out slowly, and these forces will all threaten him. You and Uncle are key figures."
"Grandpa is protecting me," Su Ding whispered.
She wasn't unable to think of these things, but ever since she arrived in the southern territory, she couldn't help but want to see her relatives.
Especially seeing that Grandpa had kept all these things belonging to her mother.
Jin Ye hugged Su Ding's shoulders, as if giving her strength. "Don't worry, I'll be with you. From what I see, the people from organization X only want money, and some are even tired of their cave life. These ragtag groups can't achieve anything significant."
These words were not only to comfort Su Ding but also his true thoughts.
In the dungeon, Jin Ye had seen through the essence of this organization very easily. If people were fanatically pursuing the medical field, they wouldn't be thinking about sneaking out to date and have fun all day.
With the core technical personnel like this, what kind of impact could the entire organization have?
"I'm worried about Ouyang Gong..."
When Su Ding thought of this man, a deep fear settled in her heart, as if etched into her very soul.
This man was omnipresent in her life.
"He was the one who kidnapped Xiao Rui, and later Shao Lin colluded with him. It was him who kidnapped me on our wedding day, making me stay in that dark and dreary house for a long time, until..."
Su Ding gently caressed her abdomen, her expression tender yet sorrowful. "Until the baby was miscarried."
"I didn't want to fight with Shao Lin for you anymore. I came to the southern territory, but Ouyang Gong also came. And he is, he is actually from the Ouyang family."
Hearing this, Jin Ye's expression grew increasingly grim.
"Ouyang Gong is Ouyang Longtian's son. His return to the Ouyang family is undoubtedly to reclaim power. But why did he help Shao Lin in Jiangcheng?"
"I don't know. He was very good to Shao Lin... yet he also seemed like a stranger."
Su Ding shook her head. Just as she was about to say something, Jin Ye suddenly thought of something and said, "Could Shao Lin be Ouyang Gong's daughter?"
As soon as he said this, Su Ding's eyes widened.
Jin Ye speculated, "Shao Lin is not your father's daughter. After this was exposed, I wanted to take her to the police station. It was Ouyang Gong's people who saved her, and then you were kidnapped. At a time like this, the only person who could help Shao Lin would be someone closest to her."
Although Su Ding didn't know if this guess was true, it did make sense.
"If Shao Lin is Ouyang Gong's daughter, then more than twenty years ago, while Father was having an affair with Wang Meilan, Ouyang Gong had already appeared in our lives."
As a member of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Gong appearing in their lives likely meant he knew that Grandpa, Uncle, and Mother were also part of the Ouyang family.
Su Ding shuddered at the thought, a slight cold sweat breaking out. "From the past to the present, Ouyang Gong has been watching our family, coveting what?"
Even her mother's death might be related to him.
Hearing this, Jin Ye also felt a chill.
Having lurked for many years, secretly cultivated a dark force, and remaining active even while engaging in illegal activities and changing his identity, Ouyang Gong was a dangerous man.
"We must tell Grandpa about Ouyang Gong."
Su Ding suddenly thought of something. "Only two of Grandpa's men infiltrated the dungeon. Now that we've escaped, the dungeon must be searching for us. They will be in great danger! Even if they haven't been exposed, Uncle cannot come out for the time being!"
Jin Ye's expression also turned serious. "That's right, but Grandpa wants us to stay here, not to participate in the power struggle here. So, you first explain the situation clearly to the people here and ask them to report it as soon as possible."
Su Ding bit her lip, turned, and walked out.
