Chapter 93: Chapter 087 [Three Women]

Due to a sudden violent homicide, a large number of police and armed forces conducted a carpet search of the Flying Peak Scenic Spot, forcing tourists to leave the area early.

"Patron, the police outside are urging us again. Why don’t you come another day to make your wishes?"

In the Great Hall of Lingyin Temple, the monk responsible for handing incense to visitors looked at Su Yuxin, Su Liuli, and Su Jindi with some difficulty.

Though the temple welcomed these tourists who came to make wishes and donate money, under police pressure, the temple abbot had no choice but to compromise. By now, under the supervision of the police, other visitors had descended the mountain, except for Su Yuxin and her party, who insisted on finishing their prayers before leaving.

"Master, please go and speak to the police again. We will leave as soon as we finish our wishes, very soon," Su Yuxin apologized and said.

"Alright," the monk sighed resignedly, nodding his head and turning to walk outside the hall.

"Yu Xin, Brother Ye hasn’t called for so long. Nothing could have happened to him, right?" As the monk stepped out of the hall, Su Liuli couldn’t help but ask.

The reason they hadn’t left, using praying as an excuse, was actually to wait for Ye Fan at Lingyin Temple. According to Su Jindi, with Ye Fan’s capabilities, dealing with the kidnappers of Situ Ruoshui would be extremely easy. They wouldn’t need to leave the area to rescue Situ Ruoshui!

"Don’t worry, nothing could possibly happen to Brother Ye!"

Even though Ye Fan was late returning, Su Jindi, recalling how Ye Fan had moved like a phantom during his sparring with Zhu Gang, a member of Yanhuang, showed no less confidence in Ye Fan than the exaggerated actions depicted in movies.

"I think Doctor Ye might be waiting for the perfect moment to act, ensuring that Situ Ruoshui isn’t in any danger," Su Yuxin reasoned and muttered, "Let’s make our wishes, and once we’re done, we will wait for him at the base of the mountain."

As she spoke, Su Yuxin turned around, her face typically cold as frost showing a trace of concern.

Concerned, she stepped forward slowly, took three sticks of incense, ignited them, and placed them into the incense burner.

Seeing this, Su Liuli followed silently, mimicking Su Yuxin’s actions, while Su Jindi, who never believed in spirits, stood far behind.

"Yu Xin prays for Buddha’s blessing, to safely bring Situ Ruoshui back and ensure Doctor Ye’s safe return!" After lighting the incense, Su Yuxin knelt on the cushion, looking earnestly at the statue of Shakyamuni, and whispered her wish.

Could it be that Yu Xin has really fallen for Ye Fan?

Hearing Su Yuxin’s wish, Su Liuli was slightly startled, her hands freezing in mid-air holding the incense, riddled with doubts.

Amidst her doubts, Su Yuxin turned her head and shockingly saw that after making her wishes, Su Yuxin bowed her head devoutly, hitting her forehead hard enough that it turned red.

Seeing this, a voice inside Su Liuli told her that if Su Yuxin hadn’t fallen for Ye Fan, she wouldn’t have acted like this.

As this thought emerged, Su Liuli felt a strange sensation bubbling in her chest.

Shortly after, once Su Yuxin had finished making her wishes and stood up, Su Liuli placed her incense in the burner, walked to the cushion, knelt down, and slowly lifted her head to gaze at the golden, glowing statue.

The moment Su Liuli’s gaze met the statue, the worldly noise seemed to vanish instantaneously, her heart as clear as polished glass.

In her trance, she seemed to see the statue slowly opening its eyes, asking her: What wish do you need me to fulfill?

"Liu Li wishes for Buddha’s blessing for Ye Fan’s safety and well-being."

An involuntary wish emerged in Su Liuli’s heart, spontaneously bringing Ye Fan’s face—which she once found annoying—to her mind, her heart no longer pristine but stirred with ripples.

This change cleared her vision, seeing the statue no longer as vivid as before.

"Sorry to interrupt, but there was a murder earlier at Lingyin Temple, according to the monks, the culprit killed eight people and took a girl hostage."

At the same time, a police officer entered the hall and stated seriously, "Currently, the police force and armed soldiers are conducting a thorough search of the area. For your safety, please descend the mountain immediately."

"Liuli, have you finished making your wish?" Seeing the police officer personally come to persuade them, Su Yuxin asked Su Liuli.

"Done!"

Perhaps because of the sudden arrival of the police, or perhaps because of the inexplicably made wish for Buddha to protect Ye Fan, Su Liuli could no longer stay calm and stood up instantly.

"Let’s go then," Su Yuxin said, and then apologized to the officer, "Sorry for the inconvenience."

"Thank you for your cooperation," the officer replied without much chit-chat, his face solemn as he left the Great Hall.

"Buzz...buzz..."

Later, as Su Yuxin, Su Liuli, and Su Jindi were leaving the Great Hall, the sound of a phone vibrating suddenly erupted.

"Sister, your phone is ringing, check if it’s Brother Ye calling!" Su Jindi, alert, immediately recognized it was Su Yuxin’s phone vibrating.

Hearing this, Su Yuxin, with a face mixed with worry and excitement, quickly opened her bag and pulled out her phone.

"It’s Doctor Ye!"

Seeing the caller ID was Ye Fan, Su Yuxin’s voice trembled with excitement, and she quickly pressed the answer button, asking, "Doctor Ye, are you alright?"

"It’s okay, I’ve already rescued Situ Ruoshui and handed her over to her family. Where are you?" On the other end, Ye Fan, wearing a bodyguard’s uniform from Situ Chen, left the West Lake Club.

Hearing that Ye Fan was unharmed and had even rescued Situ Ruoshui, Su Yuxin’s tense nerves immediately relaxed. She let out a sigh of relief and said, "We are still at Lingyin Temple, preparing to head down the mountain. Where are you?"

"I’ll wait for you at the entrance of West Lake Scenic Spot," Ye Fan thought and said.

"Okay!"

Su Yuxin hurriedly agreed, then hung up the phone, looked around to ensure no one else was present, and spoke in a lowered voice, "Doctor Ye successfully rescued Situ Ruoshui and handed her over to her family. He will wait for us at the entrance of West Lake Scenic Spot."

"I’ve always said, those three guys may look impressive, but once they face Brother Ye, they’re nothing more than trash with combat ability less than five!" Su Jindi said proudly, patting his chest as if he was talking about himself rather than Ye Fan.

Is this guy really a martial arts master?

Su Liuli was somewhat astonished but also secretly relieved.

Why did she inexplicably ask Buddha for his blessing just now?

Once reassured, Su Liuli thought back to that scene, which seemed like an illusion, and felt a sense of guilt. She then forcibly calmed herself and said, "Let’s go before the police come to drive us away again!"

Hearing Su Liuli say this, Su Yuxin and Su Jindi no longer spoke and quickly followed Su Liuli towards the exit of Lingyin Temple.

Hooligan, the reason I asked Buddha to bless you was initially to help you rescue Situ Ruoshui and also because I didn’t want to see Sister Yuxin sad. Most importantly, I was afraid that if you died, no one would be able to treat Sister Yuxin’s illness, and also...

In the sunshine, Su Liuli walked towards the temple’s exit, making up excuses for her actions, unsure what she was trying to hide.

But—

No matter how hard she tried, that scene, which seemed like an illusion, was deeply engraved in her mind.

...

Half an hour later.

Situ Chen’s Rolls-Royce Phantom drove into Jiuxi Rose Garden and stopped in front of Liu Tianjun’s villa.

"Godfather!"

"Big brother!"

As Situ Chen and Situ Ruoshui got out of the car, Situ Haotian and Liu Tianjun came up to greet them. Situ Haotian’s heart immediately soared to his throat, completely occupied by a feeling called worry.

Yes...

It was worry!

On one hand, he worried that Situ Chen would learn from Ye Fan the truth about how he and Xiao Jiu had fled without fighting. On the other hand, he also worried that Situ Ruoshui had witnessed that scene!

Any of these situations happening would be his nightmare!

"Is your arm okay?"

Later, as Situ Haotian was extremely nervous, Situ Chen asked with some concern.

"Whew~" Situ Haotian heard this and immediately sighed in relief, shaking his head like a rattle-drum, "Godfather, I’m fine!"

"Xiao Jiu, how about you?" Situ Chen then looked at Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu also relaxed and answered somewhat off-topic, "I’m sorry, Mr. Situ, I failed to protect Miss Ruoshui and Young Master Haotian well!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jiu bowed deeply at ninety degrees to Situ Chen.

"I’m sorry, Ruoshui, your brother is useless!" Situ Haotian also said with a face full of remorse to Situ Ruoshui.

"It’s okay, it’s not your fault!"

Before Situ Ruoshui could speak, Situ Chen waved his hand and then spoke with killing intent to Liu Tianjun, "Tianjun, I’ll take Ruoshui and Haotian back to Donghai first. You handle the aftermath. Also, remember to return a big gift to Nanqinghong tonight!"

"Please rest assured, big brother. I know what to do!" Liu Tianjun clenched his fists, feeling as if he couldn’t wait to grab a machete and wipe out Nanqinghong’s Hanghu branch immediately.

Upon hearing this, Situ Chen said no more and left with Situ Ruoshui, Situ Haotian, and others.

Twenty minutes later, the convoy passed through the highway toll gate and headed towards Donghai.

"Brother Ye Fan, will we meet again?"

Looking at the gradually fading Hanghu City, Situ Ruoshui’s tender face was full of longing.
