Chapter 552 The Transmigrator is an Idiot
The man in white looked up weakly at Ye Mu En.
"You only have one person interrogating me? That's not by the rules."
"Heh, you know quite a lot. You must come in often."
"I watch too much TV, that's all."
This quiet mumble was clearly heard by Ye Mu En, further confirming his suspicion that the man was a transmigrator, as there were no police dramas around at that time.
"Name, age, home address."
"Jin Yu Tian, 21, Ming City..."
Jin Yu Tian simply gave up. He knew that if he fell into these people's hands and it involved the Baili family, he wouldn't get off easy, and might even die.
"You're close with Baili Qing? Otherwise, you wouldn't have risked your life to save him when he was being sought by the entire city."
"Can I say I didn't know him at all before? It's just that my cheap dad suddenly gave me a letter, stating the specific time and place, asking me to save Baili Qing's life to repay a debt the Jin family owed the Baili family."
"Do you think I'd believe that? Even I, the executor, didn't know what would happen today. How could a letter clearly specify the time and place?"
"Believe it or not, I'm quite wronged. I just arrived not long ago and already I'm in trouble."
The last sentence was another quiet mumble. Ye Mu En felt he had encountered an idiotic transmigrator.
"Where did you come from?"
"Hmph, another world. Would you believe me?"
Jin Yu Tian looked as if even he wouldn't believe himself, but he didn't know that the person opposite him had only transmigrated a little over a decade earlier.
Ye Mu En was genuinely curious to hear if Jin Yu Tian's world was the same as his own, and if there were many alternate worlds.
"Oh, I'm quite interested. Tell me about it."
"Heh, you're someone who likes stories. What's my reward if I tell you?"
"Your reward is not dying."
"Just not dying? Then I'd rather die and go to jail. Maybe I could even go back."
Ye Mu En chuckled. This was an idiot who thought no one would believe him.
"It depends on your performance. If your story makes me happy, it's not impossible."
"Really? You'll keep your word?"
"Of course."
Jin Yu Tian became animated. This person was quite capricious. It was just telling a story, he could definitely make it thrilling.
Ye Mu En listened attentively, basically confirming they were from the same world, with only a three-year difference. It seemed time differences could be quite significant.
This guy was a sophomore in college, a mere kid, at the age of impulsiveness.
"You mean people who go to another world don't have any special abilities?"
"Yes, quick legs. Commonly known as 'Swift Legs'."
Ye Mu En smiled. This guy was quite amusing.
"Alright, you've told your story. Now let's talk about your situation. Who wrote the letter you received? Do you still have it?"
"Did you enjoy my story? Can you promise not to send me to jail?"
"We'll evaluate that at the end. You need to lay everything out."
Jin Yu Tian rolled his eyes to the heavens. This person was playing him, but he had to bow his head under another's roof.
"The letter was given to me by my dad, who said it was left by my grandfather before he died. The signature on the letter was Baili Qi. My dad said Baili Qi is the patriarch, the most important person in the Baili family."
"Baili Qi, the letter?"
"It's on me."
As he spoke, Jin Yu Tian, with his cuffed hands, took out a small, folded piece of paper from his pocket. However, he didn't give it to Ye Mu En, but brought it to his lips.
"If you let me go, I'll give it to you. Otherwise, I'll eat it."
Ye Mu En stood up speechlessly and slapped him hard on the back of his head.
"Ouch, police officers can't hit people. Why are you not playing by the rules?"
"Sorry, I'm not a police officer."
"Then you really can't hit me. You're also engaging in illegal detention."
"Heh, you haven't even properly developed your brain and you're already trying to threaten people. Besides, the legal terms you're using are useless to me."
With that, he took the small crumpled paper, turning it as he read.
The more Ye Mu En read, the more his expression darkened. This Baili family was truly strange. How could they accurately predict events over a decade later? It defied all logic.
This matter had to be reported. The Baili family needed to be thoroughly investigated. If they were this divine, perhaps Baili Qi had already ascended to immortality.
"Hey, where are you going? You haven't fulfilled your promise to me yet."
Ye Mu En turned away. This utter fool.
"What did I promise you? Did I say I enjoyed your story? Also, I'll give you a piece of advice: if you want to live, forget the story you told and don't be stupid anymore. Not everyone will believe you."
Jin Yu Tian's eyes widened. Did he believe him? Would he be taken for experiments, dissected?
"I was just kidding, don't take it seriously."
As the door closed, Jin Yu Tian was filled with despair. He felt his end was truly near.
Ye Mu En, carrying the letter, went directly to the hospital. He wanted to share this incredible experience with his sister and mother, as their family seemed to encounter strange things.
Zi Yi Sheng had not participated in the interrogation of Baili Qing. Those in higher authority wanted to see him first. Their grievances with Baili Qing far surpassed any they had with him.
Ye Mu En knocked and entered the room, seeing Zi Yi Sheng giving his sister a head massage. This was something he trusted Zi Yi Sheng for; he had always been consistent with his sister for so many years.
"Brother is here. Didn't you catch someone you were interested in?"
"Just an idiot. All I see from him is recklessness."
Zi Yi Sheng took the paper handed to him by his brother-in-law and his expression changed after a single glance. Ye Sheng Ge also looked curiously and immediately turned to her brother with a questioning look.
Ye Mu En nodded with certainty. Ye Sheng Ge became restless.
"I need to go out immediately. You two chat first."
"Okay, go quickly."
As soon as the door closed, Ye Sheng Ge quickly asked in a low voice. After her brother finished explaining Jin Yu Tian's situation, she smiled.
"Brother, actually, when I had my blood transfusion, I went back to my past life. In that life, you, I, Mom, and Dad were all there, but I could sense they weren't our original selves.
It felt terrifying at the time, but then I thought that we are substitutes, so it's not surprising if someone replaced us."
"There was such a thing?"
"Yes. Even the Baili family's emblem was something I saw when my soul floated there. What was my situation then? Did my soul leave my body? I was so afraid I wouldn't be able to come back."
Ye Mu En hugged his sister, gently patting her back. Their family had truly experienced a peculiar journey.
"It's all in the past. Everything from the previous life has nothing to do with us. Whether we were replaced or not, at least our other family members wouldn't be so heartbroken."
"Yes, I'm just afraid that we'll be swapped back someday. What about the children and Zi Yi Sheng then?"
"We won't. We won't go back."
Everything strange had already happened. From now on, they could only leave things to fate. Who could fight against destiny? Wasn't it without their consent that their family was transported here years ago?
"Let's not overthink it. We just need to live our lives well. Time passes quickly. The children will grow up soon, and before long, they'll be married with children. We won't have time to overthink things then."
Ye Sheng Ge wiped away her tears and nodded with a smile.
"I really haven't thought about the day our children get married and have children. How old will I be then?"
Ye Mu En knew his sister was vain and smiled as he tapped her forehead.
"Who doesn't get old? Even when old, you'll still be a beautiful old lady."
"Hahaha, and you? Will you really be an old bachelor?"
Ye Mu En really didn't want to talk about this topic. Even his parents had given up on it now, and they had no concept of continuing the family line, so life was relatively comfortable.
But he was a person, a man, and it was impossible to say he didn't want it. He had physiological needs.
"Haven't I met anyone suitable? Besides, my mother and sister are so beautiful. I really can't bring myself to settle for someone too ordinary."
"Heh, that will be truly difficult. As our father used to say, there's no one more beautiful in the world than my mother and me. Maybe you should lower your standards a bit."
"Hahahaha, so vain and so smug."
The siblings laughed and joked. Outside, the little nurse was very curious. Since she started working in this ward, she had never heard laughter. Moreover, she had experienced terrifying events and strange people that she had never encountered before.
"Why are you always the one stopping me?"
A Sen looked like a dead fish. It was his daytime shift, and this girl was clearly not very bright.
"Hey, dummy, who's inside? Why is Madam laughing so happily?"
"If you know she's happy, then don't go bother her. Don't think I don't know, Madam's IV drip can be early or late, and you deliberately choose this time to disturb her every time."
"Hey, are you missing a screw in your head? I come at a fixed time every day, but who would have known that every time I come, I'd encounter Madam with something going on or with guests?"
"Oh, really? I don't believe you."
"Aiya, you still don't believe me? Believe it or not, I'll kick you to death."
The little nurse had just lifted her not-so-sturdy leg when A Sen's cold gaze scared her into submission.
"What are you arguing about outside?"
A Sen glared fiercely at the little nurse and quickly opened the door to go inside.
"Young Master Ye, it's the nurse coming to give Madam her IV drip. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I had a few words with her outside."
"Hahaha, A Sen arguing with a woman? This is a first."
A Sen sighed helplessly. Why was everyone talking about him?
"Let her in. The little nurse is also very diligent."
"Why aren't you coming in? You just stick your head out curiously every day."
A Sen turned around with a displeased look at the person who had already stuck half her body in.
"Hmph, none of your business."
"Madam, are you feeling better today? Ah~"
The little nurse's face turned completely red when she saw Ye Mu En. She had seen this incredibly handsome man twice before, a quick glimpse, but before she could ask his name, she was stopped.
Her colleagues had all warned her not to get involved with anyone on this floor, or she would invite trouble. Today, she hadn't gotten involved; she had practically walked into it.
Ye Sheng Ge understood what was happening from the young girl's expression. Her elder brother was an absolute handsome man, just lacking in romantic luck.
"Ahem, I'm feeling much better. You can give me the injection now."
This overly boisterous girl wasn't her brother's type. It was best not to cause trouble.
"Oh, oh, right away."
"Steady yourself before you inject."
A Sen chimed in from behind. If Madam had to be pricked an extra time, he would be the one getting scolded.
"You! Why are you butting in?"
"I'm just reminding you to keep your job."
Ye Sheng Ge suddenly felt that A Sen and the little nurse were like a pair of bickering rivals, even their arguments were perfectly matched.
Meanwhile, Ye Mu En sat by the side drinking tea, feeling immensely tired from the sudden relaxation.
Once the needle was inserted, Ye Sheng Ge counted seven times the little nurse stole glances at her elder brother. Her worries also eased as the injection went smoothly.
"Madam, do you need me to massage your head?"
"Do you know I have a headache?"
"Yes, Leader Zi specifically asked our director how to relieve headaches, so I remembered it. And my technique is very good. Would you like to try?"
"Alright, let's give it a try."
A Sen stood at the foot of the bed. As long as there were outsiders, he had to stay by her side.
"When did you start getting headaches? Are they severe?"
"Ever since the blood transfusion. No cause can be found, and I get headaches two or three times a day."
"Has Master visited?"
Ye Mu En had been sitting by the head of the bed, gently stroking his sister's hair. She was truly well-cared for.
The little nurse, seeing the intimacy between them, felt her eyes bulge out. What was their relationship?
"He visited. He said it's an adaptation period after the blood transfusion. If it doesn't improve in a while, he'll give me acupuncture again. You know Master's hands are no longer as steady."
"I heard Master is looking for a successor. Is there anyone suitable?"
The little nurse stood patiently nearby, as there was no place for her anyway.
"I've been busy with that recently. Seeing it makes me feel sad. I feel like Master is arranging his affairs, and I'm just a burden to everyone."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are the backbone of everyone. If you are well, everyone is well. And your illness is heaven's unfairness."
Ye Sheng Ge felt that after all these events, she was completely demoralized. There was no other way; too much had happened, leaving her no chance to catch her breath.
Ye Mu En finally glanced at the nurse who had been staring at him. Her gaze was so intense that it was impossible to ignore.
"Alright, everything will get better. Let her massage your head."
With that, Ye Mu En sat on the sofa nearby, closing his eyes to rest. Since there was nothing else to do today, he planned to spend good time with his sister.
"By the way, where are the children?"
"They are in Gu Miao's room, talking with him. I didn't expect Youyou to accept Gu Ning so quickly, and Mi'er followed suit."
"Gu Miao is a true man. It's fortunate we had him this time."
"He suffered greatly, more than me, the one who is actually sick."
"It's okay. Men can get through anything."
The little nurse had already started massaging her head, and Ye Sheng Ge stopped talking. Soon, the sound of heavy breathing could be heard from the room.
Ye Sheng Ge opened her eyes and looked at her elder brother. He seemed even more exhausted than in the previous life.
"A Sen, get a blanket for my brother."
"Okay."
"He's Madam's elder brother."
The little nurse finally knew the identity of the handsome man, and a blush appeared on her face.
"Why are you so talkative? Just do your massage."
Ye Sheng Ge didn't stop A Sen's scolding. The little nurse was indeed too talkative.
The little nurse glared at A Sen and dared not speak again, but she couldn't help but steal glances at Ye Mu En.
A Sen had already decided to switch this nurse out today. She was truly annoying.
Not long after, Ye Sheng Ge also fell asleep. This time, her sleep was restless, and her dreams were filled with things that gave her a headache.
