Chapter 330, the final chapter – [Never Forget, Never Lose – 8]
Jiang Yanhui had some doubts in his heart. He looked at the old steward with unfathomable eyes and little expression on his face. He silently watched to see how far the old steward could go.
"If you don't hand over Siyi today, don't expect me to let you off the hook!"
Ye Zhenghao was still furious, gripping the old butler's collar. His eyes were bloodshot. He simply couldn't understand what these people were thinking. Why were they so determined to force Siyi? It was like this five years ago, and they still wouldn't let her go five years later? She was just a defenseless little woman. What kind of threat was she that Lin Zhenbiao would sacrifice other people's lives to frame her?
"She's a grown woman, do you really think I can hide her in my pocket?" The old butler smiled calmly, his eyes revealing no murderous intent whatsoever, but rather a hint of concession that he was deliberately trying to conceal. "Director Ye, let's talk things out. Getting physical seems very unbecoming of your status. Actually, Miss Ye Siyi is a very opinionated person. We didn't force her to do anything; it was all her own choice."
"She chose it herself?" Ye Zhenghao sneered in disbelief. "You're so old, and you're really joking. Do you think we're all idiots? Don't think I don't know what methods you used to force Siyi to leave here, without even taking the child. Now just tell me, where did she go! Tell me!"
Faced with Ye Zhenghao's rage, the old butler remained calm and composed. He simply said, "If Director Ye really wants to know, why don't you come with me? Some things are better left unsaid to Master Lin. I'm just doing my job for Master Lin, following orders. It's no use for you to arrest me, Director Ye."
"Okay, let's go then."
Before Ye Zhenghao could say anything, Jiang Yanhui, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly stepped forward and answered first.
The old butler glanced at Jiang Yan Hui, moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but Jiang Yan Hui reached out and grabbed Ye Zheng Hao's wrist, her eyes fixed on the old butler. "Uncle Ming, Grandpa is still in B City, right? Then you lead the way. I also want to see him. Since this matter is related to Ye Si Yi, then Director Ye is also qualified to come with me to hear what Grandpa has to say."
“Young Master Yan… this…” The old butler was stunned, and immediately looked hesitant.
Actually, he had only thought that he could take Ye Zhenghao to see Master Lin. Over the years, Master Lin had confirmed Ye Zhenghao's background, but also knew that he had been growing up in another world. Just like what Ye Siyi had told him before, Ye Zhenghao's personality was too stubborn, and if he knew some things, it would definitely backfire. So in the past few years, Master Lin had been silently pushing him from behind, observing his every word and action in secret, but had never broken through that barrier.
He thought that this opportunity would be good for Ye Zhenghao and Master Lin to have some interaction.
But if Young Master Yan were here too...
"What? Didn't you just say you could bring Director Ye to see my grandfather? Or am I not even allowed to see him now?"
"Of course, of course not." Seeing Jiang Yan's increasingly pale face, the old butler dared not say anything more and could only bite the bullet and let the two of them get into the car. "Master Lin is currently in B City. If you both want to see him, I will take you there now."
Ye Zhenghao had no desire to see Lin Zhenbiao. Even if he did see that old fox, so what? Would he reveal Siyi's whereabouts? Besides, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control his temper if he did see him—
If he weren't a law enforcement officer, and if murder weren't illegal, he would definitely bring a knife and stab him as soon as he saw him, to stop him from continuing to bully others!
"Is it necessary to see Lin Zhenbiao?" Ye Zhenghao was pushed into the car by Jiang Yanhui. He straightened his collar in annoyance. The driver in front had already started driving. He glanced at Jiang Yanhui and then lowered his voice and said in a muffled tone, "Do you think that even if we go to see him, he will tell us where Siyi is? It's better to go find her ourselves."
Jiang Yan crossed her arms, leaned back in her seat, closed her eyes, and gave a soft hum, "You can also choose to get off now and find it yourself."
If he wasn't mistaken, Sisi must have already boarded the plane and left. Otherwise, how could Uncle Ming have left? He must have been ordered by his grandfather to watch Sisi board the plane before leaving. That's why they couldn't find him even if they turned B City upside down.
But he had no idea where Sisi had gone. If Lin Zhenbiao had come prepared, he wouldn't be able to find her in the shortest amount of time.
After everything that had happened, he had to calm himself down—
Sisi's departure this time must be related to Lin Zhenbiao. She didn't take either of her two children with her, which shows how helpless she was in leaving.
Everything has a source, and that source is his kind grandfather. Since his existence problem can never be solved, he might as well take this opportunity to completely resolve the source...
At least for now, he needs to ascertain whether Ye Zhenghao is hiding any secrets he's unaware of...

When Jiang Yanhui and Ye Zhenghao got out of the car, they unexpectedly ran into the two elders of the Ying family.
Presumably because Ying Rui's case occurred in City B, the two elders of the Ying family had been handling the aftermath in City B. Jiang Yan was not too surprised that the two elders of the Ying family would meet with Lin Zhenbiao.
Ying Rui's death was clearly orchestrated by Lin Zhenbiao; he was ruthless in his pursuit of Sisi. It's just pitiful for the elderly couple, the white-haired burying their black-haired child. Although he and Ying Rui weren't husband and wife in reality, she had been his nominal wife for three years. While she had done some things that disgusted him, her crimes didn't warrant death…
In fact, Ying Rui was a very promising young girl with a bright future ahead of her, but now...
Ultimately, I also bear some responsibility.
"Jiang Yan, come back!"
He hesitated, wondering if he should say something to the Ying family elders, when Ying's mother became agitated upon seeing Jiang Yan Hui. Ignoring her husband's attempts to pull her away, she strode towards Jiang Yan Hui, her anger tinged with weariness and despair. "You—it's all your fault! Give us back our daughter! Rui Rui loved you so much, she did so much for you, and now you're gone... Have you ever regretted it? You've always protected that woman, and now she's even caused my daughter's death. Why can't the law punish her in the end? Why...?"
Jiang Yanhui usually doesn't like others touching his body, but now he doesn't have much of a mood to care about that.
The woman clutching his sleeve at that moment was just a mother grieving the loss of her beloved daughter, and he could fully understand what it felt like to lose one's closest relative.
Jiang Yan took a deep breath, still thinking of reaching out to help Ying's mother, but Ying's mother brushed her aside and angrily raised her hand to slap Jiang Yan across the face. Fortunately, someone rushed up and stopped her just as she was about to strike.
"Wife, please don't be like this." Father Ying's face was even paler than before. His health had always been poor, and now that his daughter was gone so suddenly, he was even more haggard. He coughed incessantly, barely able to speak. "...This matter...let's not talk about it anymore. I...cough, I want to go home now. Let's go back..."
The worst decision he ever made in his life was letting his daughter get involved with Jiang Yan Hui so recklessly. With an evil like Lin Zhen Biao, ordinary businessmen like them were no match for him!
He had previously stated that Ye Siyi, the culprit, would definitely pay the price for Rui Rui's death, but today he summoned them to tell them that the real killer was someone else...
Did he really think he was a fool?
I'm afraid everything is related to Jiang Yan Hui, right? He's still protecting that woman after all, so how could he, as her grandfather, help them instead of his own grandson?
"I'm not reconciled... Our Rui Rui, our Rui Rui, who will give her justice... Husband..."
"Wife, Rui Rui is unlucky. She met the wrong person. She can't blame anyone else. Let's go back..."
"I'm sorry." Jiang Yan, who had been silent and calm all along, finally uttered those three words. He felt he should say them, and indeed, he owed the Ying family those three words. "I know that 'I'm sorry' won't get you anything, but no matter what, I have to bear some responsibility for Ying Rui's death. If I hadn't let her into my life back then, perhaps things wouldn't be like this now... I know you won't believe my words, but I still have to say it: Ying Rui's death has nothing to do with Ye Siyi. She didn't kill your daughter. Of course, it's understandable that you don't believe me. What I want to say is, no matter what, if you have resentment, anger, or unwillingness, come at me."
"Coming after you?" Mother Ying sneered, her face streaked with tears as she accused, "You make it sound so easy! Just because you say it wasn't Ye Siyi doesn't mean it wasn't her! You're clearly biased towards each other. Poor Rui Rui, what heinous crime did she commit that deserved to die? Jiang Yan Hui, don't think we can't do anything to you. Heaven is watching. Ye Siyi killed our Rui Rui, she will definitely get her comeuppance!"
"Then let the retribution fall on me." Jiang Yan replied without hesitation, her deep voice uttering each word with an unstoppable domineering aura, yet within that aura lay an irresistible tenderness, all because of one woman. "I am willing to bear everything alone. Ye Siyi is my woman, and I will bear all your curses as well!"
