After that incident, he returned to the Warrens family, and then... he and Shiloh were separated by death.
Li Yuan had always felt that this jade pendant, which had accompanied Xiao Luo, was... gone. He never expected to see it again in his lifetime.
“It’s not that I don’t believe it…” Li Yuan began, his voice low and extremely hoarse, “It’s that I can’t believe it.”
When the Warrens faction, which was originally opposed to his father's lineage, learned that he had a girlfriend in the capital, they immediately sent a large number of people to hunt him down.
After receiving the news, he risked being plotted against and rushed back to China, but it was too late.
Li Yuan remembered that when he arrived at the crematorium, the living person had already been sent into the incinerator, and he didn't even get his ashes.
Crushed to ashes.
He had investigated and found that it was precisely because he was certain that Xi Luo had indeed been taken away by them that Li Yuan was so convinced of Xi Luo's death back then.
Li Yuan thought that Xi Luo had been utterly destroyed by a collateral branch of the Warrens family. It was at that time that he experienced the baptism of noble intrigue and was reborn. All his gentleness, rationality and humanity disappeared without a trace along with Xi Luo's departure.
Li Yuan, who belonged to Xi Luo, disappeared from then on. The only one who lived was the direct descendant of Warrens, Ling Yin Warrens, who was ruthless, desireless, and saw through the coldness of the world.
Li Yuan never imagined that his Xiao Luo would survive that disaster, and even... give birth to a daughter for him.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan curled his lips into a bitter smile.
He was an irresponsible husband and father, having wronged his wife Shiloh for twenty years, and his daughter for twenty years as well.
"..." Gu Yibei's dark eyes simply stared at him intently, without saying a word.
In the matter that happened more than 20 years ago, he was ultimately an outsider. Only Li Yuan, the only survivor of the power struggle among the wealthy families, knew the details of what happened more than 20 years ago.
An hour later, the red light indicating "In Surgery" went out, and Qin Yu, wearing a white coat and a mask, came out.
Gu Yibei immediately stepped forward, but Li Yuan ran ahead of him to Qin Yu.
"How is my daughter?!"
Seeing his anxious look, Qin Yu looked up at Gu Yibei. Only after Gu Yibei nodded did Qin Yu take off his mask.
"Don't worry, there's no danger to her life. Zhi Nan's physical condition is better than that of the average girl. She only has some minor injuries. Fortunately, she ran away from the explosion site quickly. She was unconscious because she inhaled too much smoke. She can go home after two days of observation at the hospital."
Few people die from being burned alive in a fire; more than 90 percent die from inhaling too much carbon monoxide from the dense smoke.
Ji Zhinan was lucky; she wasn't affected by the bomb Cao Nana had planted there. She was also grateful that Li Yuan had recklessly rushed in and pulled her out. If they had waited until the fire was extinguished before going in to rescue people, Ji Zhinan would have already lost her life.
Qin Yu had barely finished speaking when the nurse wheeled Ji Zhinan out.
Because he had just undergone surgery, Ji Zhinan's face was still a little pale, but his wounds had been treated.
Li Yuan strode forward and took her hand. It was frighteningly cold. If he couldn't see her faint breathing, he would have thought she was already gone.
The nurse pushed Ji Zhinan to the ward, and Li Yuan followed behind like a little tail, staring at Ji Zhinan with unblinking eyes, as if afraid that someone would switch his daughter with someone else.
