Ye Longlin!
Suddenly hearing this name, Zhang Fuyi’s pupils contracted sharply, and then he gasped.
The Zhang family was also one of the ten elder families in the capital. They knew very well the weight of the name Ye Longlin.
Upon hearing the name, Zhang Fuyi instantly remembered who the person was, his eyes filled with uncontrollable fear!
“Mr. Ye…”
Zhang Fuyi’s voice trembled slightly, his eyes unfocused.
As a member of the Zhang family, he knew what the name Ye Longlin represented and his influence. Although not a direct descendant of the Zhang family, he knew who could be provoked and who could not.
Take the person in front of him, for example, someone who could influence the major trends of the capital.
“I made him kneel here. Do you have any objections?”
Ye Longlin spoke slowly, lighting a cigarette, his tone very calm.
Zhang Fuyi lowered his head and secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. “No, I wouldn’t dare.”
“But I just heard you say you wanted to avenge him!”
Ye Longlin’s tone was calm, giving no indication of his emotions, but the unyielding aura emanating from him made Zhang Fuyi’s heart tremble.
“I didn’t know Mr. Ye was involved before, so please forgive me for any offense.
Zihao dared to cause trouble here, so it’s his just deserts. If Mr. Ye says to kowtow a thousand times, then not a single one can be missed.”
Zhang Zihao’s eyes widened when he heard his grandfather’s words, filled with disbelief.
He never expected his grandfather to suddenly back down upon seeing the other party!
Zhang Shihao also widened his eyes, as if he had realized something, and took a deep breath.
It seemed they had truly provoked an unprovokable existence, and even their own elder had to apologize in a low voice.
“In that case, let’s begin.”
Ye Longlin’s tone remained calm.
Zhang Fuyi dared not say anything more. He kicked Zhang Zihao’s shoulder and said angrily, “Aren’t you going to kowtow quickly? What are you waiting for?”
This made Zhang Zihao realize the other party’s extraordinary background, and that a single word from him could make his life worse than death.
Enduring the pain, he began to kowtow.
And Ye Longlin had already left at some unknown time.
But even if he left, they had to complete these thousand kowtows.
In front of this person, they dared not be lazy.
…
“Ye Longlin, why don’t we leave the capital? I always feel like there are too many things to do here. Actually, I just want to find a small town in Jiangnan and live a quiet life.
The capital is indeed a first-tier city, but it’s not a place I like. There are so many various things happening in the capital. With so many things, I feel very tired.
And this time, I don’t want you to go to the battlefield. I’m afraid that… you know what I mean, right? I’m not a selfless woman, I’m just a little woman. I don’t want you to get hurt.”
Mu Hanqi sat in the car, speaking softly, her eyes like water, carrying a hint of vulnerability.
In fact, she had thought about these words for a very long time before finally saying them.
Some things, if kept bottled up, would truly break a person.
She had wanted to say these words when they went to the Ye family after getting drunk that night, but she had reconsidered and couldn't say them then.
And after what happened today, she could no longer hold back. For her, the capital represented a bunch of troublesome affairs, and she didn’t want to continue like this.
Ye Longlin sat in the driver’s seat, opened his mouth, and for a moment, couldn’t say anything.
“I’m sorry, Wood.”
“I know I shouldn’t say these things, but I really don’t want to see you go to the battlefield. You haven’t told me about your past yet, and I’m afraid I’ll never have the chance to hear it again.
I know you are a hero of this country, but to me, you are just my fiancé, nothing more.”
“I also know that your destiny is on the battlefield, but have you ever thought about me? If one day you are gone, what should I do?”
Ye Longlin fell silent. He reached out and stroked Mu Hanqi’s small head, then suddenly smiled.
“I don’t have any relatives, and you are my only family. So, no matter what you think, I fully support you.
Since you want to leave here, then don’t say anything else, let’s go now.”
Ye Longlin said directly, leaving no room for her to refuse, deciding to leave on the spot.
Because he knew that one day he would return, but he wanted to spend that time with Mu Hanqi, as he could foresee his own end.
Ultimately, he would die on the battlefield.
If he hadn’t met her, he wouldn’t have cared; dying would have been dying, as no one would remember his existence.
But now it was different. Now he had Mu Hanqi, and everything had to be considered for her.
“N-now?”
Mu Hanqi was a little caught off guard and looked somewhat dazed.
Ye Longlin nodded. “Yes, let’s go now. Where do you want to go?”
Mu Hanqi still hadn’t processed it. She had poured out her heart, and he not only listened, not only didn’t object, but directly said they should leave now.
Had she saved the galaxy in her past life to encounter someone who doted on her so much?
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she didn’t know what to say.
“Navigating to Wuzhen. The total distance is 1260 kilometers, and the estimated arrival time is 5 AM tomorrow.”
Seeing Ye Longlin directly set the navigation, Mu Hanqi was still a bit lost, but her heart was filled with emotion.
She hadn’t expected Ye Longlin to go to such lengths.
“We’re just leaving like this?”
She asked blankly.
“Since the capital is too oppressive, let’s go out and play for a while. We’ll come back after we’ve played for a while.”
Because they both knew that no matter where they were, they would eventually have to return to the capital.
“Okay.”
In the inner court, a group of people who had been monitoring Ye Longlin’s movements informed Ning Qi that Ye Longlin’s vehicle had left the capital.
Ning Qi immediately conveyed this news to the Second Elder.
“You’re saying his car left the capital?”
The Second Elder’s brow furrowed immediately upon hearing this news, seeming incredulous.
Ning Qi nodded affirmatively, “Yes, this is the latest news, and our people lost track of him.”
The Second Elder’s brow creased into the character ‘川,’ unable to understand why he would suddenly leave the capital.
Thinking of this, he took out his phone and dialed Ye Longlin’s number.
“Hello, the number you have dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later.”
This truly stumped the Second Elder. He didn’t know what Ye Longlin was up to.
“It doesn’t matter, he’ll be back.”
