With a flick of his sleeve, a faint ghostly flame suddenly rose from Yin Laoda's corpse, instantly turning it into a green fireball, which was quickly burned to ashes.
Chen Roujin turned and left, disappearing into the darkness in a flash.
Two days later, Ye Xingchen went to the hospital that the Underworld Official had visited again.
He went to give Liu Xuesong's wife and children a follow-up medical check-up.
With Ye Xingchen's help, there was no need for him to recuperate in the hospital.
Liu Xuesong's son only stayed in the neonatal intensive care unit for one day. Because of his good physical condition, he was taken out by the doctor.
Both mother and son are doing well now, especially Liu Xuesong's wife, whose cesarean section wound has almost completely healed.
"Your sister-in-law is doing well. I'll adjust your medication, and you can be discharged soon," Ye Xingchen said with a smile. "It's just that the child suffocated for too long that day, so you'll still need to take extra care of her in the future."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Ye. If it weren't for you, my son and I would probably only be meeting in the underworld now." Liu Xuesong's wife was very grateful.
"It's only right. Brother Liu and I are practically family friends; my dad and his dad are brothers." Ye Xingchen smiled, wrote out a prescription, and then went out with Liu Xuesong.
"Brother, I am deeply grateful." Liu Xuesong clasped his hands in thanks: "My life is yours from now on. Your father saved my father, and you saved my wife and children. The Liu family owes you a lot."
"Why are you saying all this?" Ye Xingchen punched him on the shoulder. "It's all the right thing to do, but judging from your sister-in-law's condition, she seems to have a heart condition. How could she dare to have a child under such circumstances?"
Yes, Liu Xuesong's wife has congenital heart disease, and it's an extremely difficult one to treat.
This is a situation where you can't just have a child casually. If Ye Xingchen hadn't arrived by chance that day, it could have really caused a tragedy that resulted in the death of both mother and child.
If that were to happen, how would Liu Xuesong survive?
"It's my fault, it's really my fault." Liu Xuesong looked apologetic. "We grew up in the same compound and can be considered childhood sweethearts."
“I knew she had a heart condition, so we were very careful after we got married and didn’t plan to have children.”
"But she couldn't get over it, so she tampered with the protective measures. By the time I found out, it had been almost four months."
"She's really reckless." Ye Xingchen said, both amused and exasperated. "But thankfully, the medicine I prepared for her included heart medication, so I managed to cure her illness along with it this time."
"Really? That's wonderful!" Liu Xuesong was overjoyed.
"You are the only son in the Liu family for generations. Don't stay on the frontier forever. Find an opportunity to transfer back to Yanjing," Ye Xingchen said. "And have a few more children while you're at it, so your father can be a little more at ease down there."
"Let's not rush into a transfer. My father's last wish hasn't been fulfilled yet. How can I just leave like this?" Liu Xuesong's expression was somewhat serious.
“Brother, this is a matter for the Ye family. You and your son have been guarding there for over ten years, and I am already very grateful.” Ye Xingchen shook his head and said, “Right now, your wife and children need someone. Coming back to take care of them is the most important thing.”
"Before my father died, I promised him that I would not leave the border unless Marshal Ye's remains were brought back and Jinluo City was destroyed." Liu Xuesong had the stubbornness of most soldiers: "So this matter is not up for discussion."
"I'm about to resolve those matters, aren't I?" Ye Xingchen said helplessly. "It's just that a small situation has arisen in Yanjing, so I can't leave for the time being."
"Once the matter in Yanjing is completely resolved, I will go directly to the border to resolve those issues."
“Then I want to see you solve it with my own eyes. Besides, Jinluo City is not like other places. The forces inside are complicated, and the cities on the border are even more chaotic.” Liu Xuesong said, “You are really clueless over there. I can’t help you with big things, but I can still help with small things.”
"Don't refuse anymore. I believe my wife will understand me. It's a good thing for me to resolve this matter sooner rather than later. I can finally get rid of this burden."
Ye Xingchen was speechless. The Liu father and son were truly unparalleled in keeping their promises.
"Alright then, spend more time with your wife and kids, don't rush things over there," Ye Xingchen said.
"I plan to return to the team first thing tomorrow morning." Liu Xuesong's words left Ye Xingchen speechless.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Your wife and children have just been snatched from the jaws of death. Can't you stay with them a few more days?"
“With your help, they are already safe.” Liu Xuesong remained stubborn: “Besides, there is a joint military and police mission over there, which is related to people in Jinluo City, so I have to go back.”
"A joint mission?" Ye Xingchen's heart skipped a beat. "What exactly is it?"
“This… is a confidentiality clause, but I can reveal some information,” Liu Xuesong said. “You know that the border area is quite chaotic, and the army is stationed there year-round.”
“Drug traffickers are rampant in that area. One of their leaders is probably connected to a city lord in Jinluo City. If I go and subdue him, I can get some information out of him, which will also be helpful to you.”
Ye Xingchen nodded slowly: "Okay, I understand. Please contact me if you have any news."
"Yes, brother, don't worry," Liu Xuesong assured him, patting his chest.
After returning from the hospital, Xia Hanyue made a phone call and summoned Ye Xingchen to Yuansheng Group.
"When do you plan to go to the Western Frontier?" Xia Hanyue asked, her mind preoccupied. She lit another cigarette and smoked it idly.
"Another madman has appeared in the Chen family. We must get rid of this madman, or there will be endless trouble in the future." Ye Xingchen looked at her and said, "Are you troubled by something?"
"Does my inner thoughts show on my face?" Xia Hanyue asked, somewhat puzzled.
"You're not quitting smoking? Now you've picked it up again. I really can't think of anything that could make you smoke one cigarette after another unless you have something on your mind," Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
Xia Hanyue paused for a moment, then casually stubbed out her cigarette: "I'm not smoking anymore."
"If you have something to say, just say it." Ye Xingchen leaned closer to her: "In my impression, you're not the kind of person who's indecisive."
"This..." Xia Hanyue seemed a little embarrassed to talk about it. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it after you return from the Western Region. I don't want to talk about these things now."
"Is it that you don't want to talk about it, or are you shy?" Ye Xingchen laughed heartily. "About Li Tianqi, right? Are you getting married?"
"We're not getting married, we're just being together, understand?" Xia Hanyue was immediately furious.
"Is there a difference?" Ye Xingchen spread his hands: "Getting married and being together are just a matter of having a certificate."
“It’s still different. This matter cannot be officially announced.” Xia Hanyue shook her head.
