She was different now. She had found her birth parents, and their identities were extraordinary; they were dukes of Country K!
They had given her a new identity and sent her back to Country K. She had originally intended to use this new identity for revenge, making everyone who had ever hurt her pay the price!
However, her secrets had been uncovered by Ye Zhi!
As Ye Zhi stepped forward, Ye Qin Ya instinctively recoiled several steps in panic, even reaching out to shield her face.
"Why are you backing away?" Ye Zhi asked sarcastically. "Do you think I'm going to hit you?"
Ye Qin Ya bit her lip, glaring at Ye Zhi hatefully.
"You used to be my sister, and I always hoped you would genuinely repent, which is why I hit you. As for now..." Ye Zhi crossed her arms indifferently. "You're not worth it. Since your Cen family wants to develop in our country, then you can deliver a message to the Cen family for me."
"Wh-what?" Ye Qin Ya asked reflexively.
"The weather has turned cold..." Ye Zhi's eyes chilled as she said in a low voice, "It's time for the Cen family to go bankrupt!"
Ye Qin Ya's face instantly turned ashen. She turned and fled, stumbling away.
"Xiao Zhi..." Liu Ling Yu looked at her with a complex expression. "You... you didn't hear everything, did you?"
"Yes, I heard it all," Ye Zhi nodded. "Dad, Mom, I actually always knew."
Ye Yong Xian and Liu Ling Yu's expressions became complicated. Just as they were about to say something, Ye Yu Zhe, who was beside them, suddenly spoke with a face full of grief and indignation, "Dad, Mom, you have to tell me the truth! Was I... was I also adopted?"
Ye Zhi: ...
With both daughters of the Ye family being adopted, Ye Yu Zhe was losing his confidence!
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Ye Yong Xian angrily slapped his back. "You have no idea how much trouble you caused. Your mother had a difficult pregnancy with you, and she nearly lost her life giving birth! If you ever say that again, I'll beat you to death!"
Ye Yu Zhe finally relaxed. He managed a rare smile, "That's a relief..."
Too much had happened today. Ye Yong Xian and Liu Ling Yu got up, preparing to go home.
Seeing that her parents had been greatly shaken and were not in good spirits, Ye Zhi offered to drive them back.
They agreed, and Ye Zhi asked them to sit and recover while she went to get the car.
However, as soon as she stepped out of the coffee shop, Ye Yu Zhe chased after her.
"Why aren't you staying with Mom and Dad?" Ye Zhi asked in surprise.
"Mom and Dad are heartbroken right now. I'm different from them; I'm angry!" Ye Yu Zhe said indignantly. "I can't stand listening to them complain to each other... Wait, Sister, look!"
Ye Zhi followed his gaze, and her eyes suddenly lit up!
Ye Qin Ya, who had just left, seemed not to have gotten a taxi yet. She was waiting by the roadside when a car suddenly appeared in front of her. Two people then got out, dragged her into the car, and the vehicle sped away.
Ye Zhi quickly took out her phone, but before she could dial, Ye Yu Zhe snatched it away with dissatisfaction. "Sister, what are you doing?"
"Calling the police!" Ye Zhi frowned slightly. "Give me back my phone quickly."
"Sister, are you alright?" Ye Yu Zhe asked indignantly. "That's Ye Qin Ya. Why would you care about her life or death?"
"You don't understand," Ye Zhi explained with growing excitement. "That car just now belongs to Ou Ming Han! Kidnapping someone on the street like this, coupled with Ye Qin Ya's special identity now, this could easily become a diplomatic incident, enough to send him to jail!"
Ye Yu Zhe hesitated, then said reluctantly, "Why should you bother with them? Let those two dogs eat each other, won't that do?"
"You can't be as naive as Ye Qin Ya," Ye Zhi snatched her phone back, her fingers rapidly typing a text message. "Ye Qin Ya is still unhappy with Ou Ming Han right now. If we don't send Ou Ming Han to jail while we have the chance, they'll team up to deal with the Ye family!"
Ye Yu Zhe's expression turned serious. He had no doubt about Ye Zhi's last statement.
Soon, Ye Zhi sent the police report text and breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go, let's go home."
Now, she could only hope that the Cen family behind Ye Qin Ya would be supportive enough to help her daughter get Ou Ming Han sentenced to a few more years.
In the evening, Ye Zhi returned to the hillside villa. Not long after, Qi Xuan arrived, holding Zhao Cai, and rang the doorbell.
Ye Zhi quickly opened the door and invited him in. She grabbed Zhao Cai. "Did it run over to your place again? Oh my, it's quite heavy now."
"Meow—" Zhao Cai let out a displeased sound, wriggled free from Ye Zhi's grasp, and rubbed against Qi Xuan's legs.
Ye Zhi's face darkened. "You ungrateful thing!"
"I'll help take it back to the room," Qi Xuan said with a gentle smile. "Don't blame it. It didn't run away; the housekeeper brought it to me to play with."
Qi Xuan picked up Zhao Cai and then took it back to the room.
Just as the room door closed, Ye Zhi's phone rang.
Seeing that it was Zhan Ruo Qing calling, Ye Zhi didn't hesitate and answered directly.
Before she could speak, she heard Zhan Ruo Qing exclaim excitedly, "Ye Zhi, do you know the biggest gossip in the capital today? It's about that Ou Ming Han!"
Ye Zhi raised an eyebrow. "Are you talking about him being arrested by the police?"
She was the one who had called the police earlier. When she reported it, she had only mentioned seeing someone forcibly abducting a young woman in a car, suspecting a possible kidnapping.
Although she hadn't inquired about the subsequent events, she believed the capital's police were efficient.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!" Zhan Ruo Qing said gleefully. "You wouldn't believe it, but they say Ou Ming Han kidnapped someone in his car, and that person was the daughter of a duke from Country K, named Cen Ya!
Apparently, when the police intercepted the car, their clothes were gone, which completely stumped the officers..."
Ye Zhi: ...
She hadn't expected this turn of events, but thinking about it, it seemed quite plausible. Were they fighting and then making up as soon as they met?
"Would the police let him off the hook? They immediately detained him on charges of restricting personal freedom and coercing a woman. And then, guess what?"
"What?" Ye Zhi asked with amusement.
"That Cen Ya person actually went to the police station that night and bailed Ou Ming Han out! She even said she and Ou Ming Han were husband and wife, and this was just a playful quarrel between them. Ye Zhi, Ou Ming Han actually has a wife overseas; isn't that bigamy?"
Ye Zhi recovered from her shock and said speechlessly, "Is there a possibility... he's not committing bigamy?"
"You mean..." Zhan Ruo Qing asked with belated realization, "Cen Ya is Ye Qin Ya?!"
"Yes," Ye Zhi said, sounding a bit surprised. "But I'm curious, the police wouldn't publicize something like this, would they? Where did you hear about it?"
