If any other man said this, I would dismiss him as a daydreamer. But coming from Ye Zhengchen, everything was different. He was my fate.
Fate mocked me relentlessly, even when I found refuge; it would use a storm to destroy it.
Yin Zhongtian was taken by a special task force for corruption. I learned this after coming down from the operating table and couldn’t believe it. Yin Zhongtian, cautious in everything, couldn’t possibly have engaged in massive bribery. If he had such funds, why would we pool money to buy a house?
Yet the facts left me no choice but to believe.
At the entrance, a black Hummer was parked near the gate. An armed police officer ran over upon seeing the license plate and saluted. The driver’s door opened, and a young soldier stepped out, bowing to open the rear door with his hand on the roof. A man walked down from the car, exuding the presence of a leader without affectation. The armed police officer stepped back, saluted again, and cleared the way for him to enter.
That person did not go in, but turned around and looked at me. In front of the solemn Committee gate, he turned slightly, sunlight falling on his indifferent handsome face, his faint gaze landing on me. I stepped back, feeling the dazzling sunlight making me dizzy, the gold buttons on his dark green military uniform blinding me.
Ye Zhengchen! I blinked, confirming I had not seen wrong. The man before me, wearing two bars and three stars on his shoulder, was indeed Ye Zhengchen! What did this mean? He was a soldier?! He had said he was not a soldier, had never served, and his father was a businessman. How could a doctor who just returned from Japan transform into such an imposing military officer? Was this the reason he married Yu Yin, exchanging a loveless marriage for today’s glory? Or had something happened in these three years?
