Chapter 2300 - 2301: He Will Pay With His Life
Ye Xunhuan had a dream, a very, very long dream!
In the dream he saw his mother Qin Fenghuang, and at the same time he returned to Qin Fenghuang’s side. Qin Fenghuang was just like before, fussing over Ye Xunhuan in every possible way, without the slightest blame, only tenderness and pity, the very picture of a loving mother.
What’s more, in the dream Qin Fenghuang’s smile was very beautiful, as if even more beautiful than when she was alive.
The beautiful dream suddenly flickered, and someone who shouldn’t have appeared in the scene abruptly showed up in Ye Xunhuan’s dream.
And this person was no one else but the King!
And the King wasn’t alone, he was many people, a dense black mass, at least a dozen or twenty. They completely surrounded Ye Xunhuan and Qin Fenghuang, mother and son.
They were shouting for Ye Xunhuan to hand over the Taiji Seal, and at the same time they wanted to kill Qin Fenghuang.
In the dream, Qin Fenghuang blocked the King’s fatal strike for Ye Xunhuan, making Ye Xunhuan jolt awake.
After waking up, Ye Xunhuan was covered in a layer of cold sweat from head to toe.
Just then, a familiar voice sounded by his ear.
"Sis-in-law, Brother Huan’s awake, Brother Huan’s awake..."
Hearing this familiar voice, Ye Xunhuan slowly turned his head toward the source of the sound.
The next moment, he saw that at some point Xiao Jiu was standing right beside him, his face full of a bright, beaming smile.
Qiu Ruoxi was also standing next to him, but right now Qiu Ruoxi had none of her previous otherworldly air about her. At this moment Qiu Ruoxi looked like a disheveled Cinderella, extremely bedraggled.
"Xunhuan..."
Then Qiu Ruoxi directly threw her arms around Ye Xunhuan, her face filled with unprecedented excitement and joy.
Ye Xunhuan had been in a coma for three days, a full three days, and during those three days Qiu Ruoxi had lived every day on edge, terrified that Ye Xunhuan would never wake up. She didn’t even dare close her eyes during those three days; she only wanted to watch over Ye Xunhuan, stay with Ye Xunhuan, hoping that when he opened his eyes, the first person he saw would be her.
Now that Ye Xunhuan had finally woken up, the heart Qiu Ruoxi had been holding in her throat finally slowly settled back into her stomach.
At the side, when Xiao Jiu saw Qiu Ruoxi tightly hugging Ye Xunhuan, the smile on his face grew even broader.
The fact that Ye Xunhuan was injured was entirely something Qiu Ruoxi had told him. It was Qiu Ruoxi who called him and told him to come to Binzhou!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t even have known that Ye Xunhuan was hurt.
When Xiao Jiu arrived in Binzhou, Ye Xunhuan was already in the hospital, but Qiu Ruoxi barely had any money on her, so after Xiao Jiu arrived he paid all the hospitalization and medical fees.
As for why Qiu Ruoxi called Xiao Jiu and not Qin Rumeng or anyone else, it was entirely because if Qin Rumeng found out, she would definitely go crazy!
Because Qin Rumeng had watched Ye Xunhuan grow up. It’s no exaggeration to say that Ye Xunhuan is now Qiu Ruoxi’s lifeblood, but at the same time he’s also Qin Rumeng’s lifeblood.
And they had just parted ways not long ago; if she notified Qin Rumeng, Qiu Ruoxi really couldn’t imagine what would happen. Of course, Qiu Ruoxi could have informed Qiu Shuihan and the others, but she didn’t want them to worry too much.
So Qiu Ruoxi found a phone and contacted Xiao Jiu.
Right now, as Qiu Ruoxi hugged Ye Xunhuan, it was as if she owned the whole world, and also as if she were holding the most precious thing in her entire life, unable to bear letting go for even a moment.
Ye Xunhuan could also feel that instinctive tension and worry from Qiu Ruoxi, and thinking back on what had happened, Qiu Ruoxi’s reaction was completely human nature.
"Alright, it’s okay now, it’s okay, everything’s over, it’s all over!" Ye Xunhuan said softly by Qiu Ruoxi’s ear.
Only after a long while did Qiu Ruoxi slowly loosen her hold on Ye Xunhuan.
"Look at you, why are you so bedraggled, and so haggard..."
"It’d be strange if Sis-in-law wasn’t haggard!" Xiao Jiu suddenly said. "You were in a coma for three days, Sis-in-law watched over you for three days. I told her to rest for a bit, but she didn’t dare. Even when I forced her to rest, she never slept for even an hour!"
"And I heard from the hospital staff that Sis-in-law carried you who knows how far on her back. She met a migrant worker, and that big brother helped Sis-in-law get you to the hospital!"
"You’ve suffered," Ye Xunhuan said, looking at Qiu Ruoxi full of heartache.
Qiu Ruoxi immediately shook her head. "It’s not suffering. As long as you’re alright, this bit of hardship is nothing at all!"
Ye Xunhuan gave a soft laugh, then stretched out his hand and gently stroked Qiu Ruoxi’s cheek, saying, "Go get some rest, I’m fine now!"
"I...I want to stay with you..."
"Silly girl, we’ll have all the time in the world later. You should rest first!"
"Yeah, Sis-in-law, go get some rest first. I’ll stay here with Brother Huan, you don’t have to worry!" Xiao Jiu suddenly said.
Qiu Ruoxi pondered a little, then said, "Alright then, but you’re not allowed to leave my side!"
Ye Xunhuan nodded.
After that, Qiu Ruoxi lay down to rest in the ward. Maybe because she was too exhausted, she quickly slipped into dreamland and slept very sweetly.
Looking at Qiu Ruoxi, Ye Xunhuan’s heart was full of guilt. If not for him, her life should have been smooth and peaceful. Of course, there might still have been storms, but compared to the storms around him, those would be nothing, not even worth mentioning!
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan let out a sigh, then slowly withdrew his gaze and turned it onto Xiao Jiu.
"Xiao Jiu..."
"Brother Huan, I’ve already investigated!" Xiao Jiu spoke up directly, as if he already knew what Ye Xunhuan wanted to ask. "According to the information I’ve found, this incident seems to have something to do with a man called Ji Ziyan!"
Ji Ziyan!
When he heard these three words, a dark and vicious gleam immediately flashed through Ye Xunhuan’s eyes.
"You sure?"
"Not completely, but this is as far as I can dig. If we go any deeper, Auntie might have to make a move, but if Auntie finds out about your situation, I’m afraid..."
"You did the right thing!" Ye Xunhuan nodded. "Whether it’s Ji Ziyan or not, I won’t let him off for what happened today!"
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan’s tone shifted and he continued, "Xiao Jiu, that migrant worker who brought me to the hospital, you have to find him and help me properly thank him!"
"Brother Huan, I’ve already found him, and Sis-in-law said to have him go to Huangtú Group to work tomorrow!" Xiao Jiu said softly.
Ye Xunhuan nodded in satisfaction. "Use your channels to get in touch with Ji Ziyan. Tell him I’m not dead yet. This debt—I’ll have him pay it back with his life!"
