Chapter 66 The Past of "Galan"

"She's someone I'll be walking with for a long, long time, and she needs to know that."

After a long pause, Luo Jiayin spoke.

After hearing Luo Jiayin's words, Ye Jian sighed: "Sigh, given how much that little brat values ​​you, in my opinion, if you let her know about those things, she might be upset for a while."

“It’s better to be miserable than to know nothing,” Luo Jiayin retorted without any emotion.

“I am still trying to get in touch with Song Guodong. If I can successfully connect with him, you know the road ahead will be even more difficult.”

After Luo Jiayin finished speaking, Ye Jian fell silent.

The two seemed to maintain a harmonious consensus, tacitly remaining silent.

...

"Are you still insisting on digging them out?"

After a long pause, Yami broke the silence by speaking first.

"Some things just have to be done by someone..."

Sure enough, even through the phone, Ye Jian could sense that Luo Jiayin's tone on the other end of the line instantly became incredibly depressed.

Actually, Yami didn't want to talk to her about such a heavy topic either, as he knew it would bring back some bad memories for Luo Jiayin.

But after knowing each other for so many years, Yami knew exactly what kind of person Luo Jiayin was.

Although she may seem a bit eccentric and aloof, Ye Jian knows better than anyone that Luo Jiayin is actually a very sentimental and righteous person.

A few years ago, Yami, who was also a frail boy, and other boys and girls were sent to the Black Mansion. It was Luo Jiayin who saved his life from the hands of other competitors on a deserted island full of dangers.

Having passed the test, Luo Jiayin returned to the Black Mansion with Ye Jian, stubbornly protecting him in front of Hannya.

Over the years, he has stayed by Luo Jiayin's side, watching her grow up little by little and helping her realize the wishes she wanted to achieve.

Even after Luo Jiayin led some of their other members, whom they had already secretly organized, in a "sudden rebellion" and successfully dismantled the Black Mansion, the largest evil force in northern Myanmar, Yami still felt as if it were all a dream.

At first glance, she seemed so thin and even frail, yet she possessed such immense power to overthrow such a massive dark organization.

Furthermore, it was able to reorganize the "cleansed" Black Organization, transforming it into the largest underground dark web in Southeast Asia today.

The "dark web" is a well-known term.

It is evil, full of violence, lust, and crime.

Hidden beneath the light, in corners where sunlight cannot reach, they become breeding grounds for all kinds of evil.

The Black Mansion established by Luo Jiayin has been trying to destroy those "breeding grounds" that exist in the darkness.

Ye Jian knew that neither eliminating the Black Mansion nor reorganizing a new one was Luo Jiayin's ultimate goal.

If Yami remembers correctly what Luo Jiayin once told him, all Luo Jiayin did so desperately was simply to avenge a girl she once knew.

Perhaps Luo Jiayin wasn't after revenge; she probably just wanted to seek justice for that girl.

"Yomi..."

Luo Jiayin called softly from the other end of the phone.

“I’m here. What’s wrong, Garan?” Ye Jian replied.

Do you know why my name is Jialan?

Upon hearing Luo Jiayin's words, Ye Jian was taken aback.

He knew Luo Jiayin's real name.

So he always thought she was just using the homonym of the character "迦" in her name, and never considered any other possibilities.

"Because in ancient times, 'Jia' was a beautiful jade ornament."

"ah……"

Yami understood instantly.

Because he vaguely remembered that Luo Jiayin seemed to have mentioned the murdered girl to him, and her name was "Jiayu".

“I met her when I was first abducted to northern Myanmar.”

“Back in school, I was always the one protecting her. I never imagined that... in that place, she would save me and give me the first and last lesson she ever taught me.”

"What is it?" Yami asked.

“She was abandoned by those people. They planned to take her away, harvest her organs, and sell them. In her last moments, she said one word to me.”

"What word?"

“Rice.” Luo Jiayin parted her lips slightly and uttered a single word.

"Rice?" Yomi frowned, seemingly puzzled.

“Yes,” Luo Jiayin said calmly.

"The black slaves there had no proper food, and the criminals mocked her, saying that even on her deathbed, all she could think about was getting a bite of rice."

"But I know that the word she said to me at that time was not 'rice'."

Yami unconsciously held her breath.

"But rather..."

"life."

"Yami, there, living is more important than anything else."

...

A rustling sound came from outside the door, and Luo Jiayin frowned slightly.

She quickly informed Ye Jian and then immediately hung up the phone, turning over and getting out of bed.

Luo Jiayin certainly didn't think that a thief would break into her high-end mansion at this time, but she felt inexplicably uneasy.

Thinking that Yu Jiu was still downstairs, Luo Jiayin felt even more uneasy, fearing that something might happen.

Just as she reached the door and her fingers touched the doorknob, intending to open the door and go out, the doorknob turned, and the door was opened from the outside.

Luo Jiayin looked towards the door.

Standing at the door was Yu Jiu, his teeth clenched, his eyes red, and tears still clinging to his cheeks.

Luo Jiayin froze on the spot.

Did Jiu Jiu hear something?

When did she arrive? How much of my conversation with Yami did she overhear...?

Luo Jiayin's mind was in turmoil, filled with questions.

But she also knew that at this moment, she couldn't ask anything.

“Ayin…”

When Yu Jiu saw Luo Jiayin standing at the door, he couldn't contain his emotions.

She called out to Luo Jiayin in a tearful voice, then rushed straight towards Luo Jiayin and hugged her tightly.

Luo Jiayin could feel the force with which Yu Jiu was holding her tightly, and even her whole body seemed to be trembling slightly because of the excessive force.

Jiu Jiu probably... heard everything...

Luo Jiayin sighed. She had originally planned to prepare a more tactful and less upsetting explanation for Yu Jiu to tell her about being abducted to northern Myanmar and what happened at the Black Mansion.

She just didn't expect that Yu Jiu would overhear her conversation with Ye Jian at this moment.

Luo Jiayin was also at a loss. She seemed to have nothing to say, so she could only raise her hand and gently pat Yu Jiu's back to soothe her emotions.
