885: She Has Always Been Loved

She Has Always Been Loved

After saying that, Xue Xi stared at her maternal grandfather, Ye Lai.1

Why did Xiang Huai admit that he was Vulture in front of so many people? Other than wanting to draw all the hatred to him and not let her be implicated, there was another possibility.

That was, Vulture was closer to her than Ji Silin.

Other than her mother, there were also her biological grandparents.

It was impossible for it to be the Xue family in Bin City. If they had this ability, they would not be so stupid.

As for her grandparents…

Although they looked weak, they were university professors!

And… a chemistry professor!

That nuclear explosion was impossible to enact without a chemist.

After so many detailed deductions, Xue Xi concluded that Vulture was her maternal grandfather.

The Superhuman Organization's activities meant to destroy the human world had already been quashed more than ten years ago. Later, in the Moguls' Group, it was said that Grandpa had left the group at around the same time…

After thinking about it, she realized that Vulture was her grandfather!

The Superhuman Organization was founded by Grandpa!

Only then would everything make sense.

Ye Lai did not speak.

Song Wenman said sternly, "Xixi, what are you saying right now? Are you planning to hand your grandfather over to the special department to receive an award and regard justice higher than family?!"

Xue Xi's eyes turned red.

Ever since the mist in her eyes had disappeared, all kinds of feelings became thicker, making her feel a little uncomfortable. She paused and said, "You guys have worked so hard for me. How can I put justice before family?"

Song Wenman tensed up.

Ye Lai remained silent.

Xue Xi said, "Grandma, I'm not stupid. Before this, the Superhuman Organization was actually a secret organization. They never had the thought of opposing humans. It started after I was born…

"It's because of that prophecy, right? The one with the ability to duplicate will destroy all of humanity. And after I was born, you guys discovered my special ability, so you sent me to that orphanage that can be said to have been built specifically for me…

"You guys practically spent the entire Superhuman Organization's wealth to raise me up. I know the painstaking effort involved."

She lowered her eyes. "You guys felt that I would become the public enemy of espers sooner or later, so you stood on the opposite side of espers. That's why you guys spread the idea that superhumans should rule over humans. That's why you told the people in the organization that I'm the hope of superhumans and their princess… right?"

Song Wenman's eyes turned red and she did not speak.

Xue Xi sighed. "All of this is indeed for me."

Just as she was sighing, Ye Lai finally said, "Xixi, hand me over. I'm already so old. It's fine even if I'm locked up in a jail cell. This way, you can protect that child, Xiang Huai, with the credit of placing justice before family."

The moment he said this, Song Wenman turned to look at him. "Old… Old Ye… Are you healed?"

Her maternal grandfather had been taking medicine for so long that his condition should have improved, but he had never regained his rationality. Only now did Song Wenman realize that he had actually recovered long ago. Had he been pretending?

Song Wenman's eyes turned red.

Ye Lai smiled. "Mhm, I've long recovered."

He was already old. His youthful years were gone, and there were wrinkles on his face. His deep eyes showed traces of the erosion of time, but his tone was warm and gentle, making one feel as though they were bathing in the spring breeze. "Wenman, thank you for so many years of companionship."
