Zhao's father did not refute, but simply said, "I hope so."
...
Inside the castle.
As night fell, everything remained calm, like the calm before a storm.
In the bedroom, Jian Yixue stood by the window, gazing blankly at the moon that was quietly rising outside.
Ye Mohan saw this scene when he came in from outside.
Before long, Ye Mohan walked up behind Jian Yixue without her noticing.
Worried about startling her, Ye Mohan deliberately made a little noise.
Jian Yixue then snapped out of her daze, and upon seeing Ye Mohan's direction, asked, "Are you done with your work?"
"Hmm, what are you thinking about?"
Ye Mohan stepped forward and hugged Jian Yixue from behind.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue glanced at the sky outside and said, "It's nothing, just a bit of a reflection. Life and death can really happen in an instant. We should cherish our lives even more in the future."
Ye Mohan's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep but affectionate voice, "I will. I have always cherished every minute and every second of my life with you."
"I feel that your existence is a blessing from God."
"As a businessman, I rarely believe in fate. But when it comes to being with you, I hope we can be together for many, many years, for many, many lifetimes."
Hearing these moving words, Jian Yixue was deeply touched.
The two walked together, experiencing many things that ordinary people cannot experience, losing things and almost regretting them for the rest of their lives.
Fortunately, it all seems like a test from fate, and it was all worthwhile!
"Me too, only you. If there is a next life, I hope I can still meet you sooner."
After the two enjoyed the moonlight together, Ye Mohan urged Jian Yixue to rest later, since she was in her late pregnancy and her sleep quality was very poor, so resting earlier would be good for her health.
After drinking the warm milk, Jian Yixue fell asleep in Ye Mohan's arms.
In the middle of the night, Ye Mohan was woken up by a phone call.
He was woken up by the noise, and so was Jian Yixue.
Ye Mohan's face immediately turned extremely ugly.
Jian Yixue turned to look at Ye Mohan, "Calling so late must mean something very important. Answer the call."
Ye Mohan naturally knew that what Jian Yixue said was true.
But he was still in a bad mood.
Thinking that Jian Yixue, who had finally managed to fall asleep, had been woken up like this, he felt a surge of anger.
Ye Mohan picked up the phone and answered it.
"What's up!"
His tone was icy cold.
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard captain was taken aback, but quickly understood why Ye Mohan was so angry.
At this hour, making a phone call to disturb someone's sleep, especially since the caller is his boss, he knows without a doubt that his boss wants to punish him.
But he was innocent; the situation was urgent, and he had no choice but to make the call.
The bodyguard captain tried to remain calm and said, "President, a group of people maliciously broke into the mountain. Most of them have been captured, but we are still not sure if they have all been caught. Just in case, I would like to ask you to activate the castle's highest level of defense system."
Ye Mohan frowned and asked, "Have you found out who the other party is?"
"We're still investigating. These people are tough nuts to crack; we can't get them to talk. I've already reported to Brother Ye, and the officers have been taken there. Our initial assessment is that they're foreigners and have light weapons; they're probably not ordinary people."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have called the CEO at this hour; that would be blatantly asking for trouble!
After a moment's thought, Ye Mohan said, "Activate the highest level of defense and send more people from Purgatory."
If he were alone, it would be fine, but now there are some of the most important people in his life in the castle, and he cannot take the risk.
Especially now that Xue'er is pregnant and has difficulty moving around, he cannot afford to take any risks.
After hanging up the phone, Jian Yixue asked, "Does someone want to kill you or me?"
She overheard most of the conversation and naturally understood what it was about.
Ye Mohan frowned and said in a deep voice, "I don't know, but they're probably after the people from our castle."
"But don't worry, I've already made arrangements, everything will be fine. You go to sleep first, I'll stay with you."
Hearing this, Jian Yixue shook her head, "I've been sleeping for most of the day, and I can't fall asleep right now either. I've been staying with you."
Ye Mohan glanced at Jian Yixue and, seeing that she was indeed not sleepy, stopped insisting on his opinion.
Finally, after discussing it with Ye Mohan, Jian Yixue went to wake up the village chief, her parents, and Aunt Qiu and sent them to the space.
Fortunately, when they left some time ago, Jian Yixue moved her house from the countryside into the space, so there was no need to worry about where to stay when a group of people entered this time.
After finishing everything, Jian Yixue and her companion returned to their bedroom. Instead of sleeping, they sat together on the sofa and ate fresh fruit they had just picked from their spatial dimension.
In the end, the two finished the fruit on the table and nothing happened.
Jian Yixue checked the time on her phone; more than two hours had already passed.
Just when Jian Yixue thought everything was alright, and was about to tell Ye Mohan that she was going to sleep...
Suddenly, Jian Yixue heard a rustling sound.
Jian Yixue and Ye Mohan exchanged a glance.
As expected, there were indeed some who slipped through the net.
Then Ye Mohan quickly turned off the bedroom nightlight.
Jian Yixue then got up and walked towards the dressing room.
Ye Mohan handed Jian Yixue a gun and whispered, "Take care of yourself."
Jane nodded.
According to the plan devised by the two, Jian Yixue hid in the dressing room, while Ye Mohan was in the room trying to catch someone.
This was the result of Ye Mohan's compromise; originally, Ye Mohan's intention was for her to hide in the space immediately.
Jian Yixue did not completely obey. She did go into the dressing room, but instead of hiding, she stayed at the door of the dressing room, waiting for an opportunity to act.
Ye Mohan, who was in the bedroom, was unaware of this.
As the sound grew louder, Ye Mohan focused intently on the commotion coming from the doorway.
He knew full well that the other party was definitely not simple.
The burly, dark-skinned man cautiously probed forward. Since no one knew the specifics of the castle's interior, he searched every room on the first floor as a precaution, intending to kill anyone he encountered. Unfortunately, he didn't run into a single person.
They finally made their way to the second floor, where a burly man stood at the doorway, holding a silenced pistol.
Then, using special tools to open the door and making preparations, he sneaked inside.
Ye Mohan had good night vision. He kept his eyes on the doorknob and, without hesitation, stuck out his leg the moment the burly man entered.
Caught off guard, the burly man fell flat on his face.
