Old Zhong, looking as if afraid that Gong Yixue might change her mind, quickly said, "You said it yourself, you can't lie to me."

Gong Yixue chuckled and said, "I'm not lying."

An announcement came over the airport's public address system urging passengers to check in.

No matter how reluctant everyone was, they were ready to leave.

Before leaving, Old Qin said to Gong Yixue, "Until we meet again."

...

On the way home.

Gong Yixue admired the scenery outside the window.

Suddenly, she turned to look at Ye Mohan and said, "Mohan, I've decided to go to the Delta."

"Because of lost souls?"

Gong Yixue didn't intend to hide anything, and nodded, saying, "Yes. I understand the principle that weeds can't be eradicated completely, they will grow back in the spring breeze. I won't leave such a hidden danger to affect the rest of our lives."

Ye Mohanming, Bai Gongbai, and Yi Xue's concerns: her family is both her armor and her weakness.

Not to mention Gong Yixue, he was the same way.

“I’ll go with you,” Ye Mohan said in a low voice.

Upon returning home, Gong Yixue called Youluo.

"Luo, how are your preparations going? I've finished my work here and am ready to head to the Delta."

Youluo said, "Yes, I've made all the preparations on my side. I've already sent people to gather information first, and I'll be leading the team myself this time."

Gong Yixue nodded, "Okay, then let's meet at the Delta."

Youluo: "Okay."

Just as Youluo was about to hang up, Gong Yixue's teasing voice came from the other end of the line.

"Luo, when can I drink your wedding wine?"

Gong Yixue knew that Youluo and Chuyi were attracted to each other. She was happier for Youluo than anyone else for her best friend.

She knew that Youluo used to like Youfeng, and she originally thought that her departure would take their relationship to the next level, since they spent so much time together.

But unexpectedly, Qingyan appeared out of nowhere. For a while, she didn't dare to contact Youluo to ask how she was.

It wasn't until later, when she learned from Ye Mohan that she was with Chu Yi, that she was genuinely happy for her.

Upon hearing the voice and remembering Chu Yi, You Luo couldn't help but smile.

Gong Yixue continued, "Luo, it's time for you to consider stepping down. You should live for yourself now."

It seems that, apart from her, everyone else in their group is still busy in their original positions.

In the past, she wouldn't have bothered, since everyone has their own choices and their own lives.

And now, Youluo has also found her own happiness.

It is truly rare and precious that people like them, who live on the edge of danger every day, can find happiness.

She hoped that Youlu could seize this happiness and live out the rest of her life happily, because her first half of life had been too bitter.

Upon hearing the sound, Youluo thought of Chu Yi, the man who had made her heart flutter, and the smile on her lips became even more pronounced.

"Yes, once I've finished dealing with this matter, I plan to retire."

Unbeknownst to Youluo, her voice, because she was thinking of someone, lost its usual coolness and gained a shyness that only those in love possess.

After hearing this, Gong Yixue smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for your good news."

...

On the other side...

Gong Nanting looked at the person in front of him and said calmly, "Did Mr. Smith call me here for something?"

Smith nodded and said, "Yes, Your Excellency, there was some unexpected incident backstage at yesterday's awards ceremony..."

Smith then told her about Liu Li's situation.

After listening, Gong Nanting frowned and said, "There's really such a thing?"

But he hadn't heard Gong Yixue mention it.

After a while, he said, "You've done what you should have done. As for how to handle Liu Li's situation, I'll ask my niece later and see how she handles it."

Smith felt relieved after hearing this.

He had already prepared himself for a severe scolding from Gong Nanting when he came here today.

Unexpectedly, the president was so magnanimous.

This was clearly something he hadn't expected.

...

In a hospital ward.

Liu Li lay on the hospital bed, her face full of worry.

She wasn't worried about her own illness, but rather whether the girl she had offended yesterday would come after her.

She hadn't expected that the girl would have such a powerful background, otherwise she wouldn't have acted that way.

Suddenly remembering something, Liu Li took out her phone and asked around, finally getting the phone number she had been longing for.

Then the call was made.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hello! Who is it!"

A male voice suddenly rang out from the other end of the phone.

Listen carefully, and you can hear a slight displeasure in his words.

The usually hot-tempered Liu Li was surprisingly calm and instead greeted him with a smile, "Is this Liao Kang? I'm Liu Li, we just met yesterday."

At that moment, Liao Kang, who was experimenting with acupuncture on someone, thought for a moment and remembered what happened yesterday, so he said, "Well, what do you need me for? Make it quick, I'm busy right now."

He had a ton of things to do and really didn't want anyone to bother him.

But considering that Liu Li was his old classmate and colleague, he could only bear it.

Liu Li said, "It's like this, Liao Kang. Yesterday I saw you and that Miss Gong seem to know each other quite well, you two are..."

Upon hearing Liu Li mention Gong Yixue, Liao Kang immediately knew why she had come.

"What kind of relationship I have with Miss Gong is none of your concern," Liao Kang interrupted coldly. "As for your suggestion to plead for me, I advise you not to say anything. I won't get involved in this matter."

Although Gong Yixue said she would let it go for his sake, he didn't want to give up the kindness Gong Yixue had shown him to someone like that.

"Besides, Liu Li, so many years have passed, why can't you change your bad habits! It's normal that there are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people. Just because you can't do something doesn't mean others can't."

I've said everything I needed to say. You'd better take care of yourself.

He hung up the phone after saying that.

Liu Li was furious when she saw the phone call end. She exclaimed, "What the hell! Bah! We're old classmates, and he treats me like this!"

What do you mean by saying that what she can't do, others can?

She's already so outstanding, she doesn't believe anyone is more outstanding than her!

She achieved all of this through selfless sacrifice.

Especially when she saw that Gong Yixue had both a successful career and a happy love life, she couldn't help but feel genuinely jealous.

Why should she have what others have but not others?

Over the years, she has achieved her current success by giving up love and marriage, so why should Gong Yixue have everything?

She's just not convinced, she's just jealous!

It's obvious jealousy!

After venting all her emotions, Liu Li became somewhat troubled again, wondering if Gong Yixue would come after her.

Just as she was about to sit up, a sharp pain shot through her lower back, and Liu Li lay back down in agony.
