“We’re not close, I just know who she is. She’s your godsister, isn’t she? It just so happened that I needed her help for something.”

Lin Shishi expressed assent in disgruntlement upon seeing how calm and reluctant he was to explain in detail.

——

“Mr. Jin, we’ve already managed to persuade most of the shareholders of the Ye Corporation and they’re all enticed by the price we’ve offered. Ye Xiaotian is the only one who’s still adamant about it.”

Jin Qingyan was typing away on his keyboard with his long, slender fingers. Upon hearing his secretary’s words, he paused and looked up before ordering, “Set an appointment with Ye Xiaotian, I’m going to meet him personally.”

“Alright.” The secretary immediately proceeded accordingly and soon agreed on a specific meeting time.

The appointment was scheduled to be held in a private dining room of a certain cafe in half an hour’s time.

Ye Xiaotian was already waiting for him when Jin Qingyan arrived.

The waiter served the coffee, after which Jin Qingyan sat down and crossed one leg over the other in a natural and relaxed manner. He was a stark contrast from Ye Xiaotian.

He looked radiant, refreshed, and energetic while Ye Xiaotian appeared extremely haggard with dark and distinct eye circles. Clearly, the latter had been going through a rough patch lately.

“What’s wrong? Are you still unsatisfied with the price I offered? You may continue to bargain for more and name your price. I’ll decide if I’m agreeable with it,” said Jin Qingyan.

Ye Xiaotian stared at him with a sullen expression on his face and said, “Stop dreaming, I’ll never sell the Ye Corporation.”

“What do you mean sell? Don’t make it sound so crude. It should be called handing your company over to a more competent team of leaders. Ye Xiaotian, you caused such a huge corporation to end up in such a plight, you really don’t have what it takes to be a team leader.”

“What has that got to do with you?”

“Of course it has something to do with me. After all, I do feel thrilled to see how pathetic your life has become. Well, did you think that I have no idea what you did back then?” Jin Qingyan gibed with raised brows.

“Did you come here today to talk to me about such irrelevant things?”

“You hired a top hitman to kill me and abduct Xiaoning and Qingyue before making me choose one out of the two of them. After that... you made my Xiaoning suffer a stab to her abdomen and caused my child to end up being miscarried. Xiaoning and I even got divorced afterward. I went on to investigate that matter for a long time, but I didn’t manage to find out anything. I only found out much later that you were the one behind it. I suppose you only did that because you resented me for introducing Mo Li to Byron, didn’t you?” Jin Qingyan said with an icy cold gaze.

Ye Xiaotian remained quiet and instead picked up his cup of coffee to take a sip.

Silence meant that he was admitting to it, since he did not deny.

This was the first time Jin Qingyan had broached the topic about this matter to Ye Xiaotian.

“Ye Xiaotian, I decided to meet you today only because I wanted to tell you that there’s no point in being stubborn right now because I’ll make you pay a hefty price, regardless of how persistent and obstinate you may be.”

“What can you do if I just keep objecting against it?”

“If you refuse to give in, I’ll have to use my ways to make you do so. I suggest you know your limits and avoid letting yourself die a horrible death. I’ll make you see and understand clearly what it feels like to have a taste of your own medicine!” Jin Qingyan warned with a sinister laughter.

“Is that so?” Ye Xiaotian retorted, his eyelids twitching a little.

“You’ll find out soon enough. I’m giving you three more days to consider. Once the time is up...” Jin Qingyan did not finish his sentence and instead rose from his seat before saying, “Ye Xiaotian, it’s up to you to decide if you want to be smart and leave with the hefty sum I’ve offered or put yourself through immense torture. I can only tell you, I won’t show you mercy at all.”

The door closed, leaving Ye Xiaotian alone in the dimly-lit room.

He leaned back against the chair feebly with one hand on his forehead while closing his eyes slowly.

Within just a few years, he had become worlds apart from who he used to be.

He did not manage to protect any of his possessions in the end.

Everything had left him.

He had nothing left to his name anymore.

Instead of returning to the Ye Corporation, which was currently in dire straits, Ye Xiaotian decided to take a drive around the streets.

All of a sudden, he caught sight of a familiar figure.

Mo Li had lost a ton of weight and she was walking in his direction, dressed in a white coat and carrying a black handbag. She also had some makeup on her face.

He had never seen her again ever since their divorce, and neither did he intentionally find out about whether she was doing well.

Ye Xiaotian gazed at her, feeling as if it had been a lifetime since he saw her.

He parked the car and alighted.

Upon the sight of him, Mo Li stopped in her tracks before continuing to walk forward instead of avoiding him on purpose.

“Li Li.”

Mo Li smiled faintly and greeted, “What a coincidence, Mr. Ye.”

The way she had addressed him formally seemed to have erased everything that they had been through together in the past decade or so.

She was once his dearest lover.

She was once the mother of his daughter.

He was once her husband.

They used to live together and share the same bed every night.

He did not expect that she would still greet him with a smile, even after everything that had happened.

“You seem to be getting on well.”

“Yes, ever since I divorced you, life has been getting better for me. I’ve been living like a human every day. I may not have a wealthy husband anymore but I have an apartment of my own and I’m living a safe and blissful life. I’m telling you these because I want you to know that I can still continue to live well, even though you’ve already ruined most of my life. I didn’t attempt suicide or try to harm myself, because you were the one who inflicted so much pain and suffering onto me in the past. I got a new lease on life after leaving you.”

Ye Xiaotian was filled with immense pain and agony upon hearing the words that came out of her mouth casually.

He said, “Good that you’re living well...”

Strangely, Mo Li did not feel much upon seeing the plight he was in currently. She seemed to have let go of all the love and resentment she had toward him after leaving him.

She had completely given up.

When she walked past him, he said, “If I could turn back time, I would do my best to protect you, Jiani, and our family. I wouldn’t allow you to be treated unfairly.”

Mo Li turned her head around slightly and glanced at him before walking away with her back straight.

The initial smile on Mo Li’s face disappeared and she never once turned to look at him.

——

A full day had passed since An Xiaoning received the message from the mastermind. Yet, the child spirit she had sent had yet to return.

She only arrived at four o’clock in the morning with a piece of news.

An Xiaoning stayed put in the house for the entire day, just to wait for her arrival.

The child spirit said, “I overheard the Third Brother and the Fourth Brother’s conversation, and they said that their master is here.”

An Xiaoning looked at Fan Shixin and said, “That Third Brother really didn’t die. The trench was so deep and yet he managed to survive...”

“Is that true?” asked Fan Shixin, who could hear the spirit’s voice even though he could not see her.

“Yes, that’s what they said. However, they don’t seem to know what their master looks like either. In fact, I don’t think they even know his name.”

“Alright, got it. We’ll leave this place tomorrow. Don’t loiter about in the human world anymore. Go ahead and reincarnate. I’ll perform a ritual for you and inform your mother that you have already passed away. I’ll also give her a sum of money like I had promised you earlier.”
