Han Ning Shuang sighed softly, "I was set up. If it weren't for you, I might have been sold to a ship on the high seas by now, wishing for death."
Ye Tian's heart stirred, "Do you know who those people are?"
Han Ning Shuang replied, "It's not difficult for me to find out about the case. That group of people specifically supplies young and beautiful women to a luxury cruise ship called 'Paradise.' Once these women arrive on Paradise, they exclusively serve the male guests."
Lin Zi Yi interjected, "You said someone set you up just now?"
Han Ning Shuang stated, "They are the leading figures in various fields cultivated by my grandfather."
Lin Zi Yi's heart skipped a beat, "Could you be from the Han family in the capital?"
Han Ning Shuang nodded gently, "Ten years ago, we were indeed known as the Han family. My grandfather was called Old Immortal Han in his early years. He operated the Innate Yi Counting and selected twelve disciples to nurture. Later, they all became outstanding figures in their respective industries."
Ye Tian was unaware of the Han family and asked, "Are these the people who harmed you?"
Han Ning Shuang replied, "It may not be their intention, but perhaps those around them. Actually, I grew up under their watch, and they were very fond of me when I was young. However, in the face of profit, even the deepest affections are useless. They also have children, confidantes, and a group of people with vested interests."
Ye Tian inquired, "Does your Han family also have shares in the industries of these twelve people?"
Han Ning Shuang nodded, "Among these twelve people, three are internet magnates, four are real estate tycoons, two are pharmaceutical giants, and the remaining three are an official, an industrialist, and a titan of the financial world. Combined, these twelve individuals control enterprises with a market value exceeding five trillion. And my Han family holds a dominant position in all these enterprises."
Ye Tian deduced, "So, someone wants to eliminate you, and by doing so, their enterprises will no longer be controlled by the Han family."
Han Ning Shuang confirmed, "Yes, that's why my situation is very precarious."
She paused, "Before my parents' car accident, everything was under my grandfather's control. But two years ago, my grandfather encountered an adversary who, with extremely potent methods, broke his Innate Yi Counting. From then on, my grandfather could no longer grasp the situation. After my parents' death, he became disheartened and passed away soon after. However, before he died, he spoke to me privately."
Ye Tian was very curious, "What did he say?"
Han Ning Shuang shed tears, "My grandfather said he had seven years of lifespan left, but to calculate my and my brother's future, he didn't hesitate to expend those seven years to divine for me. He said I would face a great tribulation this year, but I would have the assistance of a noble person, thus escaping danger without harm. For my brother and me to survive, we must rely on this noble person. With the noble person's support, the Han family will not only avoid decline but also reach new heights."
Ye Tian and Lin Zi Yi exchanged glances. Lin Zi Yi asked, "Does calculating a destiny consume seven years of lifespan?"
Han Ning Shuang explained, "Originally, it wouldn't require so much, but someone was secretly influencing my grandfather. To calculate accurately, he had to do this."
After speaking, she looked at Ye Tian, "Brother Ye Tian, you are my noble person."
Ye Tian quickly waved his hand, "I dare not."
Han Ning Shuang said seriously, "Brother Ye Tian, I was certain to die this time, but you saved me. My grandfather would not miscalculate; you must be my noble person."
Seeing her excitement, Ye Tian could not say anything more and asked, "Isn't your brother at home?"
Han Ning Shuang replied, "Grandfather sent him to a safe place, where he is being taught by an old acquaintance and will only return to the Han family when he turns eighteen."
At this moment, the old butler stepped forward and said, "Young lady, the food and drinks are ready."
Han Ning Shuang nodded, "Brother Ye Tian, Sister Zi Yi, let's go and dine first."
The three arrived at the dining room. On the table were twelve dishes, one soup, six pastries, and two bottles of wine. The dishes were prepared by a top chef, with excellent color, aroma, and taste, and the wine was also fine.
Ye Tian was already hungry and ate without hesitation. Lin Zi Yi was more reserved, eating in small bites. Han Ning Shuang ate a little casually, as if she wasn't very hungry.
Half an hour later, Ye Tian was full and satisfied. Han Ning Shuang then said, "Brother Ye Tian, my grandfather left two items, saying they were to be given to my noble person."
As she finished speaking, the old butler approached, carrying two exquisite boxes.
