1914: Tianxin, Do Not Worry. I Will Protect You.

Tianxin, Do Not Worry. I Will Protect You.

2 "Tianxin, listen. It's not what you think."1

Gu Yancheng realized that his feelings for Ye Tianxin were more complex than he thought when he was finally with her.

On one hand, he longed to get close to her. On the other hand, he felt that he did not deserve her.

He had nothing that he could offer a pure and sweet girl like Ye Tianxin.

He could not be even called a man now.

"Gu Yancheng, what are you going to say next? Are you going to say that you don't mind sharing Ye Tianxin with Li Qingcang?"

Ye Zhizhou glanced at the wound on his waist. There was some blood flowing from it. Luckily, the wound was not bleeding much.

How humiliating would it have been if he had died on the spot?

Ye Zhizhou was still determined to prove himself at this point.

He took out his phone and made a call. He casually said, "Old man, I did it! Ye Tianxin is now in my hands. The Xie and the Li families will have to do my bidding from now on!"

Ye Zhizhou heard a man's voice on the other end of the phone tell him, "Congratulations."

His heart was filled with delight.

"Ye Zhizhou, you still shouldn't get too complacent."

All of a sudden, Ye Zhizhou's face darkened. "Old man, stop it. Can't you say something nice to me for once?"

"Bring Ye Tianxin to me first. Wait until you have removed the Xie and Li families from the Empire's history. Then you can tell me that you have succeeded."

Ye Zhizhou grit his teeth and hung up the phone in a huff.

The old man was as stubborn as a mule. How could the old man not praise him after all that he had done?

His aunt, Li Zhiwei was far better, but she was dead.

She died hopelessly pining for Xie Xuning's heart. She had lived her life waiting for Xie Xuning to love her. Her undying and unrequited love led to her untimely demise.

Gu Yancheng's eyes looked indignant. His voice was soft and gentle as he said, "Tianxin, don't be afraid. I will protect you."

Ye Zhizhou could not help but applaud Gu Yancheng for his touching performance. He thought that it was very touching.

"We still have 6 minutes. Gu Yancheng, are you not leaving yet?"

Ye Tianxin then sat up slowly. She used her hand to stroke her hair. She looked at Gu Yancheng and smiled sweetly. Her piercing stare made him uncomfortable. Ye Tianxin then said, "Gu Yancheng, I've already recovered. I don't know why you gave me the antidote, but I'm fine now. I've been cured of the X-virus."

Ye Zhizhou sneered, "Ye Tianxin, that's not possible."

Ye Tianxin shot back. "Didn't Lin Yu tell you?"

Ye Zhizhou looked baffled. "What do you mean?"

Ye Tianxin could tell from Ye Zhizhou's expression that he did not know who Lin Yu was. Did that mean that Lin Yu was not affiliated with Ye Zhizhou?

A terrible thought struck Ye Tianxin: could Lin Yu be working for Shi Han?

No, that was impossible. It could not be Shi Han. Shi Han was the most unlikely person that Lin Yu could be working with.

"Ye Zhizhou, the old man you just spoke to on the phone... was that Li Zhixing?"

Ye Tianxin recalled the phone call that Ye Zhizhou had just made. She could only think of one possibility: was Li Zhixing still alive?

Ye Zhizhou ignored Ye Tianxin's question. He continued to ask, "Ye Tianxin, who is Lin Yu?"

"Lin Yu is not dead. You can ask her yourself later."
