Rong Qing was silent for a few seconds, then said gently, "You're overthinking it. I'm going to use another method."

Although Xiao Mingyue did not specify which method it was.

But these people only know how to save lives by risking their own, so they naturally know which method they are referring to.

However, in order not to let Xiao Mingyue ruin his plans, he did not admit it directly, but decided to lie to him.

But Xiao Mingyue wasn't like Mu Jiutu and Han Shuangzhe, those two naive boys, and wouldn't trust him so easily.

"Then tell me, what method do you intend to use to save Niannian?" Xiao Mingyue pressed.

Rong Qing frowned and said, "I naturally have my own methods, so don't ask so many questions."

Xiao Mingyue's voice turned colder: "Open the door first, I want to talk to you face to face!"

Rong Qing didn't speak, nor did she open the door.

"Rong Qing, if you don't open the door, I'm going to find something to break it down," Xiao Mingyue threatened directly.

Rong Qing sighed helplessly.

Finally, the door was opened.

Outside the door, besides Xiao Mingyue, there was also Ye Chen, who had just been kicked out by Rong Qing.

Ye Chen looked at them with a gloomy expression and asked, "What were you talking about just now? What method do you intend to use to save Niannian?"

No one answered him.

In their eyes, Ye Chen was their enemy!

But because Shi Nian couldn't leave him, they couldn't kill him.

Xiao Mingyue said to Rong Qing, "Let's talk. The people who were in charge of investigating Niannian's father have sent word that we might have other ways to save Niannian..."

Rong Qing looked at Xiao Mingyue in surprise.

Of the ten people, apart from him staying at home to manage the Shi family's business, and Han Shuangzhe and Mu Jiutu being young and still in their studies, the rest were doing very important things.

Xiao Mingyue has an experimental base, which mainly studies the genetic issues of the Shi Nian family...

Because Feng Jue studied something rather unusual, he used to travel around a lot. Although he never explicitly said what he was doing, he was always working for Shi Nian.

The other five people were searching for Shi Nian's missing father.

Because Shi Nian's father gave her a natal soul jade, which controlled her illness and allowed her to live a relatively normal life.

They felt that finding Shi Nian's father might offer a better way to help her return to normal.

But they searched for many years without finding a single clue.

Now Xiao Mingyue says they've found out?

“Let’s talk first, and then decide how you want to save Niannian,” Xiao Mingyue said calmly. “Although our sacrifice can extend Niannian’s life, it can’t cure her illness. But if the information they sent back is true, it might be able to completely pull her out of danger.”

Rong Qing's eyes darkened slightly.

Is there really a way to cure Niannian's illness without anyone having to sacrifice themselves?

Xiao Mingyue said, "Let's go to the study and talk first."

Rong Qing nodded.

"Why don't you come along too? It's related to you too." Xiao Mingyue glanced at Ye Chen, her eyes filled with a complicated expression.

Ye Chen followed.

Soon, the three entered the study.

The door closed.

The three of them sat down on the sofa.

Xiao Mingyue looked at Ye Chen and asked, "If I said that I wanted to save Niannian and prevent her from suffering in the future, and that it would require you to sacrifice yourself, would you be willing?"

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment.

Then, without hesitation, he said, "As long as you guarantee you can cure Niannian, I'm willing to do anything, even give my life!"
