Chapter 264 Stop quibbling
Ye Sichen felt this woman was familiar, but he couldn’t recall where they had met before for the time being. That woman was just looking at him.
She looked at Ye Sichen with her head tilted, and then frowned with grief in her eyes.
Ge Li came over excitedly and supported the frail woman, “Madam, where did you go? I thought you were targeted by the gang!”
As Ge Li spoke, she helped the woman walk in. But the woman still looked at Ye Sichen. After Ge Li supported her into the room, she suddenly let go of Ge Li’s hands and ran toward Ye Sichen.
“Chen, you are my Chen, right?” The woman took Ye Sichen’s arms without loosening him and kept asking.
Ye Sichen looked at the woman and felt confused.
In his dream, a woman held him through the bullets. And he remembered that he held her arms tightly at that time, watching b.l.o.o.d.y corpses. Also, the cries of women and kids rang in his ears, as if it happened yesterday.
Ye Sichen looked at that woman with grief in his eyes.
And the woman continually called him Chen, holding his hands and staring at him.
“Sir, this is your mother, Mrs. Ni.” Ge Li lowered her voice and whispered to Ye Sichen.
Ye Sichen’s body shook again.
The women heard Ge Li’s words and held Ye Sichen with crying, “Chen, do you have any idea what I’ve been through all these years? I’ve suffered from missing and hating. I could have gone with your father, but I got lucky and G.o.d didn’t let me go with him. All these years, I know where you were and I know you were adopted by Ye Qiao, but I dare not admit that you are my kid… Because I’m afraid I will get you into trouble. But now, I need you to know your ident.i.ty, your past…”
Ye Sichen listened to Mrs. Ni’s words silently and became more and more gloomy…
Ye Sichen and Ge Li stayed here all night.
Mrs. Ni lay on the bed and Ge Li chatted with her. Mrs. Ni looked at Ye Sichen from time to time and held Ge Li’s hands gratefully, “Thank you a lot for making this happen. Li, you are my benefactor and I’ll never forget you.”
Mrs. Ni couldn’t continue at this moment. She was on the verge of extreme grief.
Ge Li kept comforting her, “Madam, don’t say that. My father and I would have been dead if it weren’t for you and Mr. Li. You saved my family, and we will never forget your kindness.” Ge Li said emotionally.
Mrs. Ni said nothing, then looked at Ye Sichen slowly and sighed, “Let him think it over. He’s going to need some time to accept the truth.”
Ge Li nodded.
After Mrs. Ni closed her eyes, Ge Li went out of the bedroom and closed the door for her.
Ye Sichen looked at Ge Li and asked her like he knew her for the first time, “Who is your father?” Because just now he overheard the conversation between Ge Li and Mrs. Ni. He heard Ge Li said that Mr. and Mrs. Ni were benefactors of her and her father, but Ye Sichen didn’t know who her father was.
Ge Li also looked at Ye Sichen, “Actually, you know who he is.”
Ye Sichen felt even more puzzled, “Who?”
“Meng Zuo. Uncle Zuo, the one you’ve been working with.” Ge Li introduced her father briefly.
“Uncle Zuo is your father?” Ye Sichen looked very surprised.
For years, Uncle Zuo had been guarding the underground cemetery alone and never mentioned his children, so Ye Sichen always thought he was single and he didn’t have any child.
But it didn’t occur to him that Ge Li was Uncle Zuo’s daughter.
“Yes.” Ge Li answered positively, “Sir, you must be wondering why I never had much contact with my dad, because he had repeatedly asked and reminded me to take care of you and protect you. He needs to stay in Country S and guard Mr. And Mrs. Ni’s grave. My father knew that you were the only son of Ni’s Family all this time. In order to take good care of you around, he asked me to learn cooking. Sir, I also know you’re wondering why Mrs. Ni is still alive. In fact, when Mr. and Mrs. Ni were a.s.sa.s.sinated, Mr. Ni took the fatal blow for Mrs. Ni, and he was killed. Only Mrs. Ni survived by good luck. Even so, the Allies hunted for Ni’s Family restlessly. So, my father built the underground cemetery and claimed it was the grave for Mr. and Mrs. Ni. But that is just your father’s grave. Your mother has been protected by my father, and he settled her in the bottom secret room of the cemetery. Finally, the investigators of Country S wanted to investigate that cemetery thoroughly and blew up the secret room. So, my father saved Mrs. Ni overnight from that cemetery, and I settled her in this town.”
Ye Sichen nodded slowly.
Ge Li was right. At first, Country S wanted to search the underground room of refugee shelters, but Meng Zuo refused to cooperate. Finally, they blew up that secret room in the rudest way.
“And Sir, you are the only son of Mrs. Ni. She sent you to Ye Qiao in order to protect you. Ye Qiao and Mrs. Ni had a good relationship, so he promised to Mrs. Ni to protect you…”
In such a short time, Ye Sichen felt that he couldn’t fully accept what Ge Li said.
No wonder Madam Ye always said that he was not her blood. It turned out that it was true. He was adopted by Ye Qiao and Madam Ye.
“I know. Ge Li, let me get her protected first.” After he said, he looked towards the bedroom and then left.
He went to Ye’s house of Modu City.
Madam Ye was not friendly to him as she saw him.
He ignored the change of her expression and asked her directly.
“Mom, do you happen to know anyone of Ni’s Family?”
Hearing such a question from Ye Sichen all of a sudden, Madam Ye was a little bit distracted, “What do you mean Ni’s Family? I don’t know.”
After she finished, she urged him to leave.
But Ye Sichen still continued, “I only want to know one thing. Did my father have any contact with Ni’s Family?”
“I don’t know.”
“But you know I’m the kid brought back by my father, so what’s my real ident.i.ty?” He asked aggressively.
Madam Ye thought for a while and had to say, “Yes, you are indeed adopted by us, but I don’t know who your biological father is.”
“My parents are Mr. and Mrs. Ni, right?”
“I am not sure.” Her eyes were a little dodging, “Sichen, don’t say anything like this without evidence. Ni’s Family is the target of the Allies at present. If you say that, you will not only be wanted, but also implicate us.”
He only smiled coldly, “If so, why did you and my brother take me as the wanted criminal in front of the investigators of the Allies? Why were you not afraid at that time? Now I need to prove the truth, but you are dodging all the time.”
“Sichen, I didn’t mean it last time…” She didn’t know how to explain for a moment.
In fact, the reason why they put forward such an accusation against Ye Sichen was because Ye Linshen promised that Ye’s Family would get endless benefits from Yuezhao Organization once they found the wanted criminal.
Now, however, the relationship between Yuezhao Organization and Ye’s Family had broken, and Yuezhao Organization was impossible to protect Ye’s Family anymore. Therefore, she dared not accuse him again. If she did so, Ye’s Family would be implicated. After all, her husband Ye Qiao did have a good relationship with Mr. and Mrs. Ni.
Ye Sichen didn’t want to hear her explanation anymore, so he left there.
Ye Linshen pushed the wheelchair out of a shelter. His eyes brightened. Then he dialed a phone number.
“I have confirmed that Ye Sichen is the orphan of Ni’s Family…”
While Madam Ye was having a sleepless night, a gang broke into Ye’s house. A series of rapid knocks roused her up from bed.
The living room was filled with people.
They looked serious and cold. Madam Ye recognized two of them. They were from the Investigation Bureau of the Allies and had come with Di Yun last time.
Madam Ye had a little panic. At this time, Ye Linshen also came out of his bedroom.
“Mom, it’s okay. Let’s go.”
Ye Linshen said.
Madam Ye asked Ye Linshen out of panic, “What are they doing here?”
“They are going to investigate something. Remember mom, you must tell the truth, or Ye’s Family will suffer something bad because of you.”
Ye Linshen seemed to enjoin her, but it was more like he was threatening her. Then Madam Ye frowned and walked toward those serious men.
“Madam Ye, I need to know the true ident.i.ty of Ye Sichen. Please cooperate with us.” Di Yun came over and spoke first, smiling at Madam Ye.
Ye Linshen commanded the servants to serve teas for Di Yun and those people.
They drank it and sat opposite Madam Ye, questioning her.
“Ye Sichen’s ident.i.ty? Procurator Di, please, anything you ask. I’ll tell everything to you.” Madam Ye said.
“Is Ye Sichen your adopted son, or your own son?”
“My adopted son.” Madam Ye had to admit.
“Who are his biological parents?”
Madam Ye shook her head slowly, “I do not know because we picked him up from a piece of ruins. And we do not know his biological parents.”
“But Madam Ye, you said he was a wanted criminal, you know, the orphan of Ni’s Family.” A faint smile appeared on Di Yun’s face.
Madam Ye continued to shake her head, “I did accuse him and suspect he was a wanted criminal, because he was found by my husband, not me. Besides, my two sons said that he was very similar to the wanted criminal. Actually, we don’t know his biological parents or his background.”
“Stop, if you don’t tell the truth, I will accuse you of covering up for Ye Sichen. According to our present investigation, Ye Sichen is the orphan of Ni’s Family and the wanted criminal we’ve been looking for. You will be regretful if you keep your sophistry.” Di Yun tried to bait Madam Ye.
In fact, he did not confirm the ident.i.ty of Ye Sichen.
Madam Ye was shocked and answered with fear, “Okay, I’ll tell you everything I know, but please don’t make things difficult for my family because we have positively cooperated with your investigation.”
