What reason does she have not to cherish someone who is willing to give up even her life for her?
Hearing this, Ye Mohan felt much more at ease.
More than ten hours later.
Jian Yixue slowly woke up in Ye Mohan's arms and spoke when she realized she was still on the plane.
"It's not here yet? How much longer?"
Ye Mohan lowered his head and kissed Jian Yixue's head, speaking in a low voice.
"We're almost there. We're already above the island and looking for a place to land." This is what Lin Yi told him earlier.
This time they didn't stop in Mo City, but flew the plane directly to the island.
He had discovered a suitable landing spot last time. And after what happened before, the landing site had been renovated and made even more suitable for landing.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue nodded.
Shortly after, the plane landed.
As soon as the cabin door opened, a familiar feeling washed over me.
Jian Yixue looked at Ye Mohan in surprise, "Isn't this the island where you fell off the cliff last time?"
Ye Mohan nodded. "Yes, this is the place."
After receiving the reply, Jian Yixue glanced outside, then lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
Then she looked at Ye Mohan again, "Could it be that in that canyon last time..."
Before Jian Yixue could finish speaking, Ye Mohan knew what she was going to say and nodded.
"That's it."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue became even more excited.
Thinking of the medical research institute in Shimen, she had a vague guess, and her heart became even more impatient.
He then said, "Let's hurry over there."
Ye Mohan frowned and pulled Jian Yixue back, saying apologetically, "Xue'er, there's something I haven't told you yet."
Jian Yixue frowned at him. "What is it?"
"Actually, I found out back then that Gong Beize took seriously injured patients with him when he left the capital."
"What? Then why didn't you tell me?" Jian Yixue asked in surprise.
A hint of guilt flashed across Ye Mohan's face.
Seeing this, Jian Yixue understood, "You're afraid I'll worry, right?"
Ye Mohan did not deny it and nodded. "Back then, after Gong Beize returned from the capital, he offered a huge reward from all over the world to save people. Many people went to save them for the money, but in the end they returned empty-handed. No one knows what really happened."
There was no further news, and Gong Beizhe also stepped down, so the matter was dropped.
Afterwards, I arranged for people to investigate one by one. From one of Gong Beize's former subordinates, I learned that when Gong Beize left the capital, he took a seriously injured woman with him.
"That person could very well be my mother, right?"
"Mm." Ye Mohan nodded.
Jian Yixue fell into deep thought, then said with a heavy expression, "Then let's hurry up and go see what's going on."
Ye Mohan hugged Jian Yixue and comforted her, "Xue'er, don't be pessimistic. There's a medical research institute there, which means that if your mother is here, she is very likely still alive."
Whether he was conscious or in some other state is unknown.
Of course, Ye Mohan did not tell Jian Yixue this.
She was already extremely worried, and she couldn't let her lose motivation.
Jian Yixue nodded. "Let's go."
More than an hour later.
Jian Yixue and her group arrived at the entrance of the canyon.
Unlike last time, this time she felt both anticipation and trepidation.
She knew that the people in the canyon didn't like too many people going in, so she had everyone stay at the canyon entrance while she and Ye Mohan went in alone.
"If Mo Han and I haven't come out in three hours, then you can come in," Jian Yixue said.
Although the people inside didn't mean any harm before, we can't be completely at ease.
Lin Yi and Ye nodded to each other.
After giving their instructions, Jian Yixue and Ye Mohan walked inside hand in hand.
The person on duty this time happened to be the former head of the bodyguards, who frowned as soon as he saw the two of them.
"Why are you back again?"
Jian Yixue stepped forward. "Hello, may I meet your master?"
The head bodyguard's brow furrowed even more. "Our master is not receiving guests. Please leave."
The head of the bodyguards assumed the two had come to thank their master and refused.
Before Jian Yixue could say anything more, she heard Ye Mohan's deep, magnetic voice.
"Please inform your master that Ye Mohan, the head of the Ye family in the capital, has come to visit Mr. Gong."
The head bodyguard was surprised and wary when he saw that Ye Mohan could say his master's surname.
"You know my master?"
Ye Mohan did not answer, but said, "Just go in and report, and he will see me."
The head of the bodyguards thought for a moment, then called over other people to cover his shift, and then headed towards the villa.
At the villa entrance, they ran into Chi Qiao, a trusted confidant of Gong Beize, and the head of the bodyguards told him what had happened at the entrance.
Chi Qiao frowned and fell into deep thought.
What a coincidence?
The master only asked him to send out the message yesterday, and today people from the Ye family came to our door.
Could it be...? After thinking for a moment, Chi Qiao turned around and went back inside.
Before long, Chi Qiao had the head of the bodyguards invite the person in.
Jian Yixue saw the head of the bodyguards approaching from afar and asked nervously, "Do you think they will meet with us?"
Ye Mohan glanced at the bodyguard leader's expression and, considering the source of the information, nodded. "Yes."
Before Jian Yixue could even ask why, the words had barely left her lips.
The head of the bodyguards was already in front of them. "Gentlemen, the master wants you to come in."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue quickly thanked him, and then, without thinking too much, pulled Ye Mohan toward the villa.
Upon arriving at the villa entrance, the two saw Chi Qiao waiting there. They went up to greet her, and then Chi Qiao led them inside.
Stepping into the villa, Jian Yixue casually glanced around.
The villa is decorated in a simple and elegant style. The living room is covered with light wood flooring, and the furniture in the room is all made of wood, giving the whole room a classic and antique feel.
The only modern element is the large floor-to-ceiling window not far away.
Jian Yixue and Chi Qiao followed Chi Qiao to the floor-to-ceiling window, where they saw a man sitting on the tatami mats, reading a book.
From a distance, she could only see the other person's profile.
Even from his profile, she could tell that the man was no ordinary person.
It was afternoon, and the sunlight filtering through the sheer curtains softened the dappled light.
The dappled sunlight fell on the seated man, giving him a mysterious and ancient air of unrestrained freedom, as well as a touch of gentle elegance.
Chi Qiao walked to the platform, which was several tens of centimeters above the ground, and bowed respectfully, saying, "Master, the person has been brought."
"Okay, you can go down now."
Chi Qiao accepted the order and left.
The man then put down the book in his hand and looked at Jian Yixue and the other person.
When his gaze fell upon Jian Yixue, surprise flashed in Gong Beize's eyes. "Who are you?"
