Zhao Siyu watched her mother's sudden tears, and immediately panicked. The garlic in her hand was hastily dropped to the ground, and she reached out with her sleeve to wipe her mother's tears.
"Although Long Lin didn't tell me, I can feel that Ye Guohui must have sacrificed himself. That kid hesitated several times, did he really think I couldn't see anything?"
Zhao Qian murmured, which made Zhao Siyu's heart tremble. She never expected her mother to say such a thing.
Zhao Siyu shook her head: "Mom, no, Uncle Ye is blessed and will have to come back to marry you. Don't worry, Uncle Ye will definitely come back. If you don't believe me, when my brother comes back, we'll ask him."
Asking him is useless.
Ye Guohui really sacrificed himself. If he hadn't sacrificed himself, perhaps there would still be a day to return, but since he sacrificed himself, how could he return?
Zhao Qian's emotions suddenly broke down, making Zhao Siyu panic. After a while, Zhao Qian managed to force a smile: "Alright, it's nothing. I just remembered some grievances. Hurry up and peel the garlic."
Zhao Siyu could only remain silent, not saying a word.
...
A long time later, when Ye Longlin returned, it was already half past five in the afternoon.
He was half an hour earlier than the estimated time. For some reason, the road that should have been jammed when entering the city had no traffic at all, and there were very few cars on the road. This made Yuan Gang a little unaccustomed.
On the one hand, he couldn't figure it out, and on the other hand, he always felt that something was about to happen.
It's rush hour at this time, how could the city not be congested at all.
"I... I'm carsick... I can't walk anymore. Can you carry me?"
Mu Hanqi looked uncomfortable, her small face a little pale, and she looked pitifully at Ye Longlin.
Ye Longlin: "..."
What's wrong with this girl today? It's as if she has him completely figured out. This is not normal!
"Forget it, given your status, it's unlikely. Move aside. If you fall later, don't hit you."
Ye Longlin: "..."
She was deliberately provoking him, wasn't she? Otherwise, why would she say such a thing?
He was also very helpless. He walked closer to the vehicle and picked her up in a princess carry. Mu Hanqi wrapped her arms around Ye Longlin's neck, a smile on her lips.
Seeing this, Ye Longlin said helplessly: "Is it fun?"
Mu Hanqi tilted her head: "I don't know what you're talking about."
Ye Longlin: "Aunt Zhao taught you, right? Only Aunt Zhao can understand me so well. As everyone knows, I am decisive. None of my enemies can survive, but only those close to me know that I am soft and not hard."
"How can you know so many details? The only possibility is that Aunt Zhao told you."
Mu Hanqi: "Amazing. Yes, Aunt Zhao told me. What can you do to me, hehe."
Ye Longlin sighed: "I am truly not a good match. If you follow me, you might be found and killed by enemies at any time. You have better choices, not someone like me.
I am a soldier, and I might die on the battlefield at any time. At that time, you will have to be a widow. Of course, you can remarry. What I mean is, there is really no need to follow me. I am not a good person, and my enemies are all over the world. "
Mu Hanqi was silent for a moment, her eyes very firm: "I know, and I am prepared. Otherwise, why do you think I came to Nan Province with you?"
"..."
For a moment, Ye Longlin didn't know what to say.
"Since you're back, hurry up and eat. All day long, you don't even talk about dating, nor do you do business. You're so busy every day... You two??? Have you confirmed your relationship?"
Zhao Qian heard the movement outside, opened the door, and saw Ye Longlin holding Mu Hanqi, mumbling something. She immediately beamed with joy.
Ye Longlin: "..."
Mu Hanqi: "..."
"It's nothing, Aunt Zhao, don't think too much," Ye Longlin quickly explained.
Aunt Zhao: "Get in and eat."
"..."
Ye Longlin was also very helpless. He put down Lin Tianai and walked inside.
At the same time, in the Li family.
The Li family can be said to be the uncrowned king of Nan Province. Although many people don't recognize it, this is an undeniable fact.
Not to mention that Lord Li's personal combat strength has reached the ceiling of Nan Province, even the influence the Li family has in the political, military, and business circles is greater than the combined forces of the other nine families.
In politics, the Li family has someone holding a key position in the capital.
In the military, the Li family has someone in the military command of the capital, with the rank of a three-star general.
In business, the Li family's capital company holds assets worth hundreds of billions.
These three aspects combined, the Li family is undoubtedly a behemoth in Nan Province. Some even say that with the Li family's scale, if they went to the capital, they would be at the peak of a second-tier family.
Of course, who knows if they spread this rumor themselves.
In short, the Li family is not to be trifled with.
And at this moment, in the Li family, Li Kaiping secretly met with the Li family head.
Logically speaking, someone like Li Kaiping from the lower strata would not have the chance to meet the Li family head, but now, not only has he met him, but he has been met in secret.
"Family Head, the investigation team has already started investigating me. Although they can't find anything in a short time, if it goes on for a long time, they will definitely find some clues. By then, our Li family will also be caught up in the Ye family's turmoil."
Since the Ye family was destroyed, Li Kaiping has not been at peace.
That night, the Fang Cunxin family gathered together because of a phone call from him.
If they traced this phone call, it would be very troublesome.
At that time, to avoid implicating the family, he would probably be abandoned.
Therefore, this is also for his own safety.
"Li Kaiping, you are just an ordinary clan member. Do you think you can threaten me? Or do you think that because you know about this matter now, you can threaten me?"
The Li family head said coldly, with a cold glint in his eyes.
Obviously, he had already killed intent.
"I have set up a timer on my computer. If I don't return within an hour, it will be automatically published online. Moreover, I have left evidence on my computer. If I unfortunately die, all your affairs will be exposed. And, as the captain of the Dragon Investigation Bureau, I will definitely investigate thoroughly.
Even our family's important figure cannot suppress it, because it now involves many departments, and even the Zhenwu Division is implicated. Do you think it is still within your control?"
The Li family head's expression gradually became gloomy, and a look of admiration appeared in his eyes: "Not bad, your follow-up measures are well prepared, but have you ever thought that this one hour... what if your computer has a problem?"
