Previously, the King wanted to ask Ye Xunhuan about how he got this handkerchief, but at the time Ye Xunhuan was filled with killing intent, and there was no possibility of negotiation, resulting in the King finding an opportunity to ask Ye Xunhuan only now.

Moreover, the King also realized that the two would definitely not have a peaceful conversation, but with Qiu Ruoxi in his hands, even if Ye Xunhuan didn’t want to talk peacefully, he had no choice.

This time, Ye Xunhuan didn’t say anything, instead falling into silence.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan silent, the King also didn’t speak, waiting quietly.

At this moment, the King had already told Ye Xunhuan everything he could say, and there was nothing more to say, only needing to wait quietly for Qiu Ruoxi to be brought in.

After about ten minutes, Qiu Ruoxi was brought in from outside.

After bringing Qiu Ruoxi in, the woman didn’t say anything and directly turned around to leave the room.

At the moment, Qiu Ruoxi looked the same as usual, without any change.

Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi’s face instantly displayed an excited expression, quickly rushing over to Ye Xunhuan: "Xunhuan, you... why are you here..."

"Honey, are you okay?"

Qiu Ruoxi immediately shook her head, "I’m fine, but I heard you were..."

"It’s nothing, it’s all over now!" Ye Xunhuan immediately interrupted, having heard what Qiu Ruoxi was about to say.

At this moment, the King suddenly said, "Ye Xunhuan, I’ve brought the person to you, and as you can see, your wife is very healthy and hasn’t been in any danger. Now, can you tell me what I want to know?"

As the King spoke, Qiu Ruoxi’s gaze instantly fell on him.

After scanning the King several times, she looked at Ye Xunhuan, full of confusion, and asked, "Xunhuan, who is he..."

"I’m the one who had you brought here." The King spoke before Ye Xunhuan could answer, "And we’ve met before, in Jiangzhong City, when you were caught by a foreigner!"

"When I wanted to kill Ye Xunhuan."

Initially, Qiu Ruoxi felt that the King looked familiar, but couldn’t recall where they’d met until the King mentioned it, making her remember instantly, "It’s you!"

The next moment, a thick sense of vigilance appeared on Qiu Ruoxi’s face.

After all, the King once wanted to kill Ye Xunhuan, and now having him bring her to Southeast City, his intentions were obvious.

"Yes, it’s me!" the King said casually, "This time, the danger your husband faced was also orchestrated by me!"

The King didn’t hide anything from Qiu Ruoxi, confessing everything in one go.

"And we’ve met more than once, you should think carefully."

Saying so, the King stopped paying attention to Qiu Ruoxi and continued speaking to Ye Xunhuan, "Ye Xunhuan, the person is right in front of you, as you can see, completely unharmed!"

"Of course, if you’re not assured, you can examine her, I’ll give you time!"

Ye Xunhuan could naturally see and feel that Qiu Ruoxi was without any problems or harm, but his heart was still filled with hesitation regarding telling the King about the handkerchief.

At the same time, Ye Xunhuan also understood that if he didn’t tell the King, the King definitely wouldn’t allow him to leave with Qiu Ruoxi.

After a slight pause, Ye Xunhuan slowly said, "King, I can tell you, but shouldn’t you first tell me what’s the deal with this handkerchief, or rather, I want to know the story behind the handkerchief!"

The King didn’t immediately answer Ye Xunhuan, instead glanced at him a few times before slowly saying, "Actually, it wouldn’t hurt to tell you!"

With the King saying so, Ye Xunhuan didn’t ask further, waiting quietly for the King’s next words.

"That was more than twenty years ago." The King slowly said, his face filled with a look of reminiscence. In that moment, his thoughts seemed to drift into distant memories, his eyes reflecting a deep gaze!

"Over twenty years ago, many things happened, and this event occurred after the Wicked Lord." The King said softly, "At that time, after we killed the Wicked Lord, I was also injured!"

"Though I hate to admit it, the Wicked Lord was truly strong, very strong. If alive, there would be no place for me among the Protectors of the Nation." The King said candidly, "We teamed up to kill the Wicked Lord, but even then I was heavily injured!"

"Back then, the wickedness of the Wicked Lord led many to covet the leadership of the Protectors, and with me gravely injured, it was naturally the best time for certain ill-intentioned people to kill me. After all, if they killed me and were strong enough, they could take the position of the Protector!"

"I didn’t dare go back, nor could I appear at the King family’s place. After all, my injuries were severe, and if someone intent on killing me came, I would surely die!"

"So, I wandered outside, healing as I went."

With that, the King gave a bitter smile, "Perhaps it was fate, I met a woman!"

"She was a very gentle woman, like a lotus flower emerging unstained from the mud."

At that moment, the King seemed to see the woman he met years ago, his face gradually showing a deep expression.

"Back then, we had a fleeting encounter; I thought we would never meet again."

Indeed, amidst the vast sea of people, one might encounter countless others over a lifetime, so the King considered that encounter nothing but a random occurrence.

But who would have thought, they would meet again.

"I didn’t expect us to meet again," the King said softly, "Twenty years ago, you would know, at that time Huaxia’s economy was far from what it is today, and there weren’t so many working-class people."

To this, Ye Xunhuan nodded in deep agreement, having experienced it in his childhood.

"Back then, millionaires and billionaires were already seen as very wealthy, and even having ten thousand made many envious." The King said lightly, "And she was among the earliest to venture out two decades ago!"

"But who would have thought, bad luck won over, her friend deceived her, others wanted her to become a ’Miss’." The King said with a bitter smile, "And she even signed a contract of indenture!"

"Fate often likes to play tricks, that day, I happened to be unable to sleep, and when I went out for a walk, I met her!"

"At the time, she was being chased by a group of people. She was desperately running, calling for help, but in a cold, indifferent world, no one was willing to lend a hand of help!"

With this, the King sighed lightly.
