As a result, he became more and more addicted to playing.
Damn, they really forced her to get serious.
Jian Yixue didn't want to waste time with him, and she subdued the man in a few moves. If it weren't for the old man, she would have crippled him in one move.
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the bodyguards that Ye Mohan had arranged to be with her.
The bodyguard broke out in a cold sweat the moment he entered and saw the man in black in Jian Yixue's arms. He had only gone to the restroom and thought no one would dare to touch the madam in the old mansion, but this had turned out to be a disaster.
He was very fortunate that his wife had such skills, otherwise he would probably have had to atone with his death.
He went over and took over from Jian Yixue, taking Ji Wen down to await orders.
Seeing this, Jian Yixue walked over to the stunned old man and untied the rope for him.
The old man stood up abruptly, his face full of surprise: "Little Xue, you're really good at fighting! Where did you learn that?"
Jian Yixue was stunned, clearly not understanding why the old man's thought process was so peculiar. Shouldn't the focus be on the man in black?
“When I was a child, I met a master who taught me some self-defense techniques.”
Jian Yixue concealed part of the truth and told part of it.
After all, she didn't want too many people to know about the organization behind her; an accidental leak could lead to her death.
The old man nodded, believing it to be true.
"Xue girl, you're really amazing. Girls really should learn some self-defense skills so they can protect themselves."
Ji Wen, who was being held down by the bodyguards, did not think so. He believed that every move the woman made was a killing move, and the last few moves that took him down were even more lethal.
He absolutely did not believe the woman's words. This was not something that could be learned casually. Based on his experience of walking on the edge of the underworld for many years, she must have undergone extremely rigorous systematic training.
Jian Yixue didn't continue the topic. "Grandpa, what did he do?"
Upon hearing Jian Yixue's words, the old man remembered this matter. His expression turned utterly forlorn.
He walked up to Ji Wen and gestured for the bodyguard to release Ji Wen.
The bodyguard looked at Jian Yixue, who, seeing the old man's actions, guessed what he was planning to do.
Although she didn't like it a little, as a junior she had no right to say anything, so she nodded in agreement.
Upon receiving Jian Yixue's instructions, the bodyguard immediately released Ji Wen from his grasp and stepped aside to await further orders.
“Ji Wen, you should leave. Actually, I had already guessed it when I heard about the poisoning more than 20 years ago, but I just didn’t want to believe it.”
"You really want to let me go? There will be other chances, and I will definitely take your life to make Qin'er pay for it." Ji Wen asked tentatively, looking at the person in front of him.
"Are you really sure you can do it?" The old man met Ji Wen's eyes, his sharp gaze piercing straight into his soul.
Ji Wen lowered his head, questioning his own heart.
Can you do it yourself?
After a long while, he still couldn't find the answer.
Seeing his appearance, the old man knew he wasn't sure himself, and said calmly, "You can leave now. If you want me to pay for Qin'er's life in the future, then come and get it from me."
Ji Wen left the Ye family's old house in a daze.
Seeing this, the bodyguards also left the room and continued to protect Jian Yixue from the shadows.
The old man walked to the tea table, sat down, picked up a cup, poured two cups of tea, and looked at Jian Yixue not far away.
"Little Xue, come and have a cup of tea with this old man. I'll tell you a story."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue glanced at the old man, then walked over and sat down beside him, looking like she was obediently waiting to hear a story.
"Once upon a time, two college students came from a remote village. They were both admitted to the same prestigious university in the capital..."
From the old man's story, Jian Yixue learned that when the old man and Ji Wen were in college, they both met Su Qin, the school's most beautiful girl—who was also Ye Mohan's grandmother. They both fell in love with the bright, cheerful, and lively girl at almost the same time.
However, unlike others, when the girl was walking across the school lawn, she saw a quiet boy reading a book and was inexplicably attracted to him.
I later learned that he was the school's most handsome boy and a highly popular, aloof academic star.
At a class reunion, the girl confessed her feelings to him in front of everyone. The boy looked at the girl with a blushing face and couldn't control his heart. From then on, the two got together, and they could be seen together all over the campus.
When the boy's friend found out about this, he got into a fight with the boy. He hated the boy for being with the girl even though he knew he liked her, and the relationship between the two dropped to a freezing point.
Later, the boy's friend moved out of the dormitory room they shared and soon dropped out of school.
They met again at their wedding. The boy's brother told him to treat the girl well, or he would do anything to take her away, and that he would keep an eye on her.
The couple lived a happy life after marriage. With the help of the girl's family, the boy's career quickly took off. Just then, the girl became pregnant and returned to the family to give birth to their first child. However, this did not affect their deep love for each other. From then on, they lived a life where the man was the breadwinner and the woman stayed at home.
Soon, the couple welcomed their second child. Just before the delivery, the boy's company suffered a major accident, keeping him extremely busy. This, in turn, created an opportunity for someone with a keen eye.
One evening, while the boy was busy working at the company, he received a call from the nanny saying that the girl had been shot. The boy immediately grabbed his car keys, went downstairs, and sped to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, the girl had already been taken into the operating room. The boy waited anxiously at the door, asking every nurse who came out what was wrong with the girl.
But fate did not spare the boy. The attending physician told him that they had done their best and only managed to save the child. He then told the boy to go in and say goodbye to the girl properly.
The boy was heartbroken and cried bitterly. He forced a smile and went in to see the girl one last time, hoping to leave her with a beautiful memory.
The girl was aware of her physical condition but didn't reveal it. It wasn't until the boy's brother arrived that he dragged the boy outside and beat and scolded him for breaking his promise.
The boy was speechless; it was indeed his negligence that had led to this situation.
The girl asked the nurse to call them in. She didn't blame anyone; she just told them that she was dying and asked if they could spend some time with her.
The two boys looked pained upon hearing this, but quickly hid it, comforting the girl and telling her to stay with her.
The girl asked the boy's brother not to blame him, and the boy's brother had no choice but to agree to the girl's plea, which is why the boy has been able to survive until now.
Soon, the girl took one last look at the boy, then closed her eyes forever and left this world for heaven!
From that time on, the boy never saw his brother again.
