Chapter 421: She Was His Strength and Weakness 【1】
“The ident.i.ty of that girl is unusual,” another man commented. “We must at least ensure that she is safe in our hands. Otherwise, we may not be able to get out of this ancient land.”
“Then, why are we messing with those people?” the man’s companion asked.
The man was carrying Ye Tianxin and walking quickly.
“First, she is not a girl who has no power to fight back at all. Have you ever seen a girl get kidnapped yet remain so calm? Second, if it weren’t for their help in luring away Li Qingcang, who had always been with this girl, it’s unlikely that our plan would have gone so smoothly. I don’t think I need to explain to you who Li Qingcang is. Third, you should be rejoicing over having Lu Jijun as bait. If not, we might have to revise the plan.”
In the eyes of these men who had experienced many missions, these rugged mountain roads were like flat ground.
Night eventually came.
The capital was shrouded in bright lights. Meanwhile, it was pitch-black in the outskirts.
Ye Tianxin was brought to a nursing home in the suburbs.
“I have brought her to you. Mission accomplished. I leave the rest to you.”
“Understood.”
The men left as soon as they delivered Ye Tianxin to a female doctor in the nursing home.
The female doctor took Ye Tianxin into the ward. She brought out a needle and administered medicine into Ye Tianxin’s arm.
“Little girl, sleep for now. When you wake up, you can see your biological father.”
For many people in the imperial capital, this was a peaceful and quiet night.
However, for Li Qingcang and Xie Xuning, every second was a living h.e.l.l. The wait was brutal. They would rather do something than wait idly.
“I’m going to find her,” Li Qingcang announced. He stood up and then prepared to leave.
The more he learned about the secrets of “X,” the more disturbed he got.
He didn’t understand why “X” was troubling Ye Tianxin.
She was clearly just an ordinary girl.
Back then, the people of “X” hurt Xie Xingqing, because Xie Xingqing was the adopted daughter of the Xie family, and she represented the clan.
And this time?
Also, shouldn’t Lu Jijun be in Shenhai City?
Why did he suddenly appear in the imperial capital?
Why did he use Ye Tianxin’s biological father as bait to lure Tianxin?
Xie Xuning hurried to catch up with Li Qingcang. “Xiao Cang, you can’t act hastily. We’ve got to think of a plan.”
“I don’t want my Tianxin to suffer the way Sister Xingqing did.”
When he thought of Sister Xingqing lying on the hospital bed with her entire body supported by various equipment, he couldn’t help but be anxious.
It was all his fault. He shouldn’t have left Ye Tianxin alone to attend the meeting.
“She won’t.”
Xie Xuning patted Li Qingcang’s shoulder heavily.
“Tianxin will be fine.”
Xie Xuning comforted Li Qingcang while also consoling himself.
G.o.d wouldn’t unkindly take all of this away.
That was absolutely impossible!
She was his daughter.
He must acknowledge his daughter.
Li Qingcang pushed Xie Xuning’s hand away. “Little Uncle, you don’t understand. You don’t know how important Tianxin is to me.”
She was his shooting star.
Her coming to his life was like throwing rocks into the water, creating ripples.
She changed his world.
He never knew that there was something more beyond learning and training. He never knew he could care for someone as much as he cared for Ye Tianxin.
