1967: Forcing the Elusive X Out of Hiding

Forcing the Elusive X Out of Hiding

Xie Xuning spoke to Shi Han on the phone when he heard about the news. "Shi Han, don't worry about Ye Zhizhou. I won't let him stand between you and Zeus."2

Shi Han chuckled. "Xuning. Zeus and I have already discussed this. We won't interfere if they want to make a big deal out of this."

Shi Han and Zeus had already been put under the spotlight ever since they first got together, but why did that matter now?

Life was short. It would be worthwhile being with the person you loved.

"Okay, I get it."

After Xie Xuning hung up the phone, Ye Linlang hurried to ask, "Did the two of them get into a fight?"

Ye Linlang had always been worried that Ye Zhizhou might be a walking time bomb for Shi Han and Zeus.

If she was in their position, she would've also gone crazy if she found out that Xie Xuning suddenly had a daughter.

No matter how the child came about, she would always feel uncomfortable about it.

"No. Shi Han and Zeus will handle this matter carefully. They have gone through so much together. They should know how to brave this storm together."

Feeling indignant, Ye Linlang took Xie Xuning's arm. "Xuning, when will the person behind all of this be caught? I just want to lead a quiet and peaceful life."

It was good to lead a peaceful life. She did not want any more surprises or shocks in her life.

Xie Xuning patted Ye Linlang's hand gently and said, "It'll happen soon. The one behind this is calmer than we thought."

Ever since Ye Zhizhou had been captured, the person had never let on any clue about himself. It was like Ye Zhizhou had been forgotten.

With this message posted on the internet, Xie Xuning felt that the man had run out of patience. He was at his wit's end.

Ye Zhizhou was not a discarded pawn for the man.

Ye Linlang muttered, "Xuning, can't you guys come up with a plan to force that elusive X out of hiding?"

Both Ye Linlang and Xie Xuning had been separated for years because of X. He was her greatest enemy. If she knew who this person was, she would want him to experience a fate worse than death.

After all, she was known as the hand of God.

"Darling, it is not good to act in haste. Aren't we trying to set a trap to bait him?"

Xie Xuning knew that X was more powerful than they had expected.

He had been abroad the whole time, so he was out of the Empire's reach.

"Ah, forget it. Just hurry up. I'm running out of patience."

Just then, Uncle He brought the food to Ye Linlang. "Madam, everything is ready."

Ye Linlang was a doing mother who would personally deliver food to Ye Tianxin at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Li Qingcang was away on a mission. Although Ye Tianxin was pregnant, she was hard at work in the office. She wanted to take good care of her daughter.

"Xuning, do you want to come with me?"

Xie Xuning nodded. "Of course. Tianxin is also my daughter, right?"

Anyone who was not an employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to register their identity before entering the premises.

Xie Xuning joked as he filled in his particulars on the form. "I feel like I'm leading an early life of retirement now."

Ye Linlang felt her heart hurt when she heard that. It was cruel to let someone who had toiled all his life live a life of leisure now. There would be a sudden sense of emptiness in his life.

"Just take this opportunity to spend more time with our children. When you start getting busy again later, you won't have time for me and the kids."
