Chapter 140 Schemes for Oneself
Ye Dad quickly thought of a solution. His precious daughter was very obedient. As long as he started brainwashing her now, it wouldn't matter how capable that kid Zi Yisheng was. Hahaha, he was truly brilliant, solving the problem at its source.
"I admit you're right, but I still don't agree. You should give up."
Zi Yisheng hadn't expected his future father-in-law to agree so easily. This had long been a battle of one against three. No, two and a half people, Aunt Bai's combat power shouldn't be strong.
"Uncle Ye, don't worry. I will take good care of Shenggē and protect her from any harm."
"Hmph, I can protect myself."
Zi Yisheng didn't retort, but his eyes conveyed the unspoken question: "Do you have the time?" This infuriated Ye Dad, who stormed off. This guy was shameless.
In the following days, the family of three spent their time doting on each other. But they didn't know that Ye Yage had also arrived in Qi City and successfully found Han Yuyan.
However, Ye Yage didn't show herself directly. She wanted to see what Han Yuyan was doing in Qi City, and why he would give up a good opportunity in Ming City to stay in this small, dilapidated place. If her plan went smoothly, would she have to stay in Qi City? Then she thought of the demon behind her, and what could be more important than escaping the demon?
Han Yuyan also successfully stayed in the Qi City Public Security Bureau, but he was still busy with Mu Zi's affairs in private. After all, his old comrades came here to eat, drink, and live. Although Mu Zi had prepared provisions and ration coupons, all the arrangements had to be made by him.
After a busy day, Han Yuyan just wanted to go home quickly to eat a good meal and see the beautiful girl he missed every day. After Uncle Ye and Aunt Bai arrived, the beautiful girl's face was always full of smiles. Seeing that dazzling smile made him eat two more bowls of rice. Cough, he would absolutely not admit that Aunt Zhen cooked too well.
Ye Yage saw her elder brother and Han Yuyan leave the Public Security Bureau, chatting and laughing, and quickly followed behind. But how could her two legs keep up with the speed of two wheels? After running less than a mile, she was out of breath, and her small leather shoes had even rubbed her heels raw.
Seeing that she was about to lose sight of the two, Ye Yage looked around for someone who could help her.
Soon, Ye Yage saw a young man riding a bicycle. Her eyes rolled, and she stopped him.
"Comrade, can I trouble you with something?"
The young man saw that Ye Yage's attire was clearly not that of a girl from Qi City. She wore a beige dress and a pair of beautiful white leather shoes, with two long braids hanging down her chest. Her face was fair and tender, and she was very beautiful.
Was this beautiful person stopping him because she liked him? The young man looked at his own attire and the bicycle in his hand, and felt that he wasn't bad either.
"What trouble, what not? Helping comrades is what we should do."
Ye Yage was anxious and didn't want to waste time. She pointed in the direction where Han Yuyan had just disappeared.
"Comrade, could you give me a ride? I need to catch up to the bicycle in front. My fiancé seems to have betrayed me, and I need to catch evidence to break off the engagement."
Ye Yage's eyes were almost tearing up. She was truly anxious and her feet hurt. This made the man beside her feel very distressed. He glared at the people in the distance.
"Let's go, comrade. I'll take you to catch up. Today, I'll skin your fiancé alive."
Ye Yage didn't waste any more words. She jumped onto the back seat and urged the young man to ride faster.
But no matter how fast the young man rode, he couldn't catch up to Han Yuyan, who was in a hurry to get home to see the beautiful girl, let alone the former soldier with muscles all over his body.
Ye Yage stared intently at the bicycle that was about to disappear, not understanding why these two would come to the suburbs after work.
"Comrade, where is this? It looks more and more desolate. Are there still houses here?"
"This used to be where rich people lived. You'll soon see very beautiful big houses, but not many people live here now."
Ye Yage didn't say anything. Were these two living here now? Where did they get the money to buy these Western-style houses? A stomach full of doubts made Ye Yage even more anxious.
"Go faster. Don't you see they're almost out of sight?"
The weather was already hot, and it was time for dinner. Nearly an hour of rushing had left the man unable to even reply. Ye Yage's words also made the young man unhappy. He was helping someone and was being complained about. But who could he blame? Blame himself for not being sharp enough.
The young man, adhering to the principle of seeing things through, gritted his teeth and put all his strength into pedaling.
Han Yuyan braked sharply and stopped at the door of the Western-style house. Ye Mu'en got off and looked at the bicycle that had been following them closely with a darkening gaze. He gently knocked on the door and slipped inside.
Ye Yage jumped off the bicycle, subtly rubbing her sore backside. Her eyes, however, were scanning the surroundings of the Western-style house. It was indeed a beautiful house.
She then looked at the man panting like a dog, leaning on the handlebars of the bicycle, and somewhat disdainfully took out a dollar from her bag.
"Thank you for your hard work, comrade. Take this money back and buy something good to replenish your energy."
The man didn't expect Ye Yage to be so generous. One dollar was more than his day's wages. He had initially thought it was about helping others, but unexpectedly, there was a bonus. Then, looking at the young lady's distinguished demeanor, he started to have some ideas.
"You're welcome, comrade. It's not easy for a young lady like you. I'll help you teach your fiancé a lesson here. It's good to break up with such a man. There are plenty of good men out there."
After speaking, he puffed out his scrawny chest. Ye Yage had no time to waste with him. She quickly stuffed the money into the man's hand and shooed him away like a fly.
"You should leave quickly. You don't need to help here."
The man originally wanted to say something more, but seeing Ye Yage's impatient face, he could only reluctantly leave.
Ye Yage leaned against the main gate of the Western-style house, her ear pressed against the door, trying to hear what was going on inside. But before she could hear anything, the door was suddenly opened, and she was pulled into the courtyard. With nothing to grab onto, she fell to the ground with inertia, her arms and legs scraping and bleeding.
"Hiss, it hurts."
Ye Yage originally wanted to scold the careless person who opened the door, but when she saw a pair of black leather shoes appear before her, she shut her mouth. Looking up, she saw a familiar face and immediately put on a wronged expression.
"Big brother, you opened the door. You made me fall."
Ye Mu'en narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ye Yage. She was quite capable, managing to find her way here.
"Why are you here?"
Ye Yage immediately thought of her background and wondered if her elder brother knew. She felt very guilty.
"I just missed you all. I knew you were in Qi City, so I wanted to come and see."
Ye Yage felt wronged. She wanted to return to her past life, and she wanted to be protected by her family.
"How did you find me? How did you know I was in Qi City?"
