Tian Ye approached the entrance, looked at these guards, hands on his hips, swaying left and right, “How’s life been treating you?”
After a moment of silence, no one responded. Everyone kept their heads down. Tian Ye grew angry, “Fine, not speaking? I’ll punish you to run 100 laps around the villa.” He pushed through the crowd and entered the hall.
The guards exchanged glances, put on their jackets, and began running…
Hui met the young master with some nervousness, “Young master, welcome back.” Hui was clever, knowing this wasn’t the time to speak. He greeted Tian Ye respectfully and stood waiting.
Tian Ye didn’t mean to blame Hui. Punishing the guards wasn’t about anger, but establishing authority and reinforcing leadership for the Tian clan. “Come with me,” Tian Ye said and walked into the hall.
Tian Ye relaxed on the sofa, looking at the silent Hui, “Alright, stop being so serious. Come, sit.”
Hui relaxed, sitting beside Tian Ye, “Young master, what are your orders?”
Tian Ye put his arm around Hui’s shoulder, “Agreeing to be with Si Xiaoshuang was fake. I was acting during that month at her home. On my way back on the private jet, her family’s steward called, saying their young lady was chasing me on a plane, asking me to slow down.” Tian Ye laughed, a mischievous smile.
Hui was surprised the young master would dare such a deception, but quickly composed himself, knowing the young master’s long-standing relationship with Mei Yu. “Young master, what do you need me to do?”
“If she comes, tell her I’ve gone to Australia and don’t know when I’ll return. Ask her to go back early.” Tian Ye lit a cigarette, voicing the plan he’d conceived on the private jet.
“But…” Hui felt this wasn’t a sustainable approach and was disrespectful to Si Xiaoshuang and Si Kun.
“But what? She’ll give up soon. Keep this secret.” Tian Ye then left through the side door.
By afternoon, Si Xiaoshuang indeed arrived at Tian Ye’s home, accompanied by four large, intimidating bodyguards.
Hui was prepared, quickly going out to greet her and guide her into the villa’s main hall.
Hui deliberately asked, standing respectfully before Si Xiaoshuang, “May I ask, Miss Si, what brings you to Hong Kong?”
“What? The young master went to Australia with the investigation team?”
“What? Arranged by the chairman?”
“Don’t know when he’ll be back?”
Hui listened to the words on the phone and repeated each word to Si Xiaoshuang standing beside him.
Si Xiaoshuang turned to the bodyguard and said calmly, “Arrange a special plane for me to Australia.”
Hui became anxious and hurried to explain, “Miss, our young master was sent by the chairman this time. This is his first time leading a team on a mission, and he’ll be back soon. I think you should stay here for a few days and wait for the young master.”
Upon hearing it was the chairman’s order and involved Tian Ye’s first time leading a team, Si Xiaoshuang took a deep breath and said, “Forget it. I’ll come back when he returns.” She turned and walked out of the hall, adding, “I’ll go home first.”
At this moment, Tian Ye had arrived in Tianshi. He wanted to find Meiyou. When he arrived at the hospital, he discovered…
Chapter 18 (1)
In Meiyou’s hospital room, a group of people stood around her bed, crying and wailing. Several older doctors in white coats walked out from the crowd, shaking their heads and sighing before leaving.
Meiyou was covered with a white cloth, completely hidden. Tian Ye saw this scene and felt his chest violently pounding, shocking his entire body. He tried to shake his head, telling himself this wasn’t real.
Tian Ye gasped heavily, his limbs unresponsive, walking from the doorway to Meiyou’s bedside.
The people around the bed cried intensely, making everyone feel heartbroken. The entire hospital room seemed to freeze, with sorrowful notes piercing through everyone’s heart.
Tian Ye’s hands were trembling, his whole body suddenly cold…
Suddenly, Tian Ye heard a boy around ten years old crying out, “Mom… Mom…”
He stepped forward and lifted the white cloth, revealing a middle-aged woman with a pale face and blank eyes, definitely not Meiyou…
The crying people looked at Tian Ye in surprise, this was a great disrespect to the deceased, but they immediately turned away, not daring to cry. Tian Ye was furious. Where was Meiyou? She had actually disappeared. His eyes regained their usual domineering look.
Meiyou was missing, and Tian Ye was enraged. The subordinates previously arranged in Meiyou’s room were also gone. Unable to find Meiyou, he angrily entered the director’s office.
He kicked the door open violently. The people inside stood up in fright, trembling, “May I ask who you are?” Seeing Tian Ye’s domineering manner, they were too scared to speak clearly.
Tian Ye grabbed the director’s neck without explanation, spun him around, and slammed him into the door he had just kicked open, creating another hole.
He then kicked the director in the abdomen, causing him to crash against the door. This time, the entire wooden door shattered, and the director flew out into the corridor.
Tian Ye walked out, saw the director barely breathing on the ground, and stopped. Standing in front of him, he said, “Don’t you know who I am?” Tian Ye was angry at such an incompetent subordinate.
The director on the ground gasped and explained, “Big brother, I really don’t know you. I just rented the hospital last month. The previous people have long gone. The entire hospital has been abandoned and unmanaged.” After speaking, the new director passed out on the ground.
Tian Ye now realized and understood his father’s swift action. As soon as Tian Ye went to Singapore, his father immediately undermined him.
Standing in the corridor, Tian Ye shouted, deeply regretting why he had gone to Hong Kong back then. He clutched his head, his facial expression twisted and terrifying, making anyone who saw him feel horror.
Tian Ye was furious, kicking the director’s office door again, causing the entire door to fall.
Though he knew his father had definitely transferred Meiyou, he wouldn’t find her at the school.
Dejected, Tian Ye drove to Hill University, which he considered his most beautiful school. Here he had met Meiyou, but ultimately never connected. The love he had waited for over ten years was cut off by his father, a blow that pained him beyond words.
Tian Ye found one of Meiyou’s roommates and asked, “Have you seen Meiyou?”
Several girls murmured softly, unsure if they were mesmerized by his handsome appearance or intimidated by his fierce voice.
Tian Ye shouted, “Where’s Mei Yu?”
The girls finally woke up, stammering, “No… we don’t know… we have no idea.” They had never seen him like this and were scared to even breathe.
Tian Ye slapped the wall behind the girls in anger, glaring at them and saying, “Tell me if you hear anything about her.” Then he turned and left the school in a hurry.
After a long time, the girls recovered from their shock. They looked at Tian Ye’s car for a while, ensuring he had left before gasping, “Oh my, that was so scary.”
The little girl named Mi Ke said with a dreamy expression, “Wow, he was so cool!”
Tian Ye knew his father’s style of doing things. He always did things without leaving traces, and if his father didn’t want Tian Ye to know or do something, Tian Ye would never figure it out.
But she was Mei Yu, the person he had always thought about. No matter how Mei Yu had changed as she grew up, none of that mattered. What mattered was that Tian Ye had to find her, even if their connection had lost its previous warmth.
This was a promise he made to himself from childhood – he must find Mei Yu. He believed he could find her because he understood his father would not let Mei Yu disappear, at least not now.
