Knock, knock, knock.
There was a series of knocks on the door. Xia Qiu's voice was slightly cold as she said, "Come in."
The door was pushed open and Ye Xuan entered. When he saw Xia Qiu's familiar face, a smile appeared on his face.
"Hello, Auntie Xia. You're still so beautiful after so many years."
"Hmm?"
Xia Qiu, who was burning with anger, was stunned by how Ye Xuan addressed her. Then, she laughed coldly and said, "I don't care who you are, but your joke isn't funny at all."
"Also, please don't call me Auntie. You don't have the right to call me that." Xia Qiu's attitude was very unfriendly. Ye Xuan knew that there was a misunderstanding.
"You really don't recognize me?" Ye Xuan frowned slightly.
"How would I know someone like you … Hmm … You are …?"
Xia Qiu wanted to reprimand him, but when she took a closer look at Ye Xuan's face, an extremely familiar feeling welled up in her heart. She couldn't continue her words.
"Four years ago, you were my attending doctor."
Like a sudden clap of thunder from the ninth heaven, like the rolling waves of the vast ocean, Xia Qiu was completely stunned when she heard Ye Xuan's voice.
Her body was trembling and her lips were pale. This was because the appearance of the young man in front of her was constantly merging with that of the young man from before. After a minute, Xia Qiu's breathing began to quicken.
Bang!
Xia Qiu's face was pale. She slammed her hands on the table and stood up.
"Impossible … Absolutely impossible … That child is dead … dead …" Xia Qiu said with a trembling voice. However, her eyes were filled with horror as she looked at Ye Xuan.
"Tell me … Who … Who are you?"
At this moment, Xia Qiu became hysterical. She was a doctor, and as far as she knew, it was impossible for anyone to survive such a terminal illness.
Looking at Xia Qiu's pale face, Ye Xuan's eyes were filled with helplessness. He also knew that in normal people's minds, his appearance would definitely cause a commotion.
That's right, how could a person who should've died four years ago still be alive?
Ye Xuan laughed at himself and continued, "I'm not dead. I'm alive and well in front of you. Please believe me."
The truth was right in front of her eyes, and Xia Qiu had no choice but to believe it. However, this sudden incident had completely overturned her understanding of the world. It was only a few minutes later that she slowly regained her senses.
During this time, Ye Xuan did not disturb Xia Qiu. Clearly, he was giving Xia Qiu time to come to terms with the situation.
"You … you're really Little Ye … not a ghost?"
"Ghost?"
Lu Xin muttered to himself. Some terrifying blood red figures involuntarily appeared in his mind, and a wisp of disdain flashed through his eyes. However, he concealed it very well.
"Auntie Xia, I'm really not a ghost. I'm here to ask if you know my mother's current address?"
When Ye Xuan returned to the city, he had naturally returned to his former residence. However, that place had been demolished, and even his mother's phone could not be reached. That was why he thought of Xia Qiu, and that was why this scene unfolded before him.
At this moment, Xia Qiu had completely calmed down and gradually accepted the fact that Ye Xuan was still alive.
"When you ran away, your mother was devastated. Back then, I still had some contact with her. However, four years have passed, and I don't know where she is." Xia Qiu frowned slightly.
Upon hearing this news, Ye Xuan's eyes flashed with disappointment. Even Xia Qiu did not know where his mother and siblings were. How was he supposed to find them?
Could it be … that he had to go to the Capital City's Ye Family?
The Ye Family?
Ha!
Thinking of the so-called Ye Family, Ye Xuan could not stop laughing coldly in his heart. When he opened and closed his eyes, a wisp of blood flashed through them.
"Oh, right, I remember now."
Suddenly, Xia Qiu exclaimed. Her face was filled with excitement as she said, "After you ran away, your mother erected a cenotaph for you in the North Hill Public Cemetery. Every year on your birthday, she would definitely visit your grave."
"My cenotaph?"
Ye Xuan paused after every word. Then, he closed his eyes and his mother's face appeared in his mind. His body trembled uncontrollably, and the atmosphere around him became even more oppressive.
Ye Xuan would always remember that when he was five years old, he and his mother were chased out of the Ye Family. His siblings were only three years old at that time. He had seen how much his mother had suffered over the years.
In the four years that he had disappeared, Ye Xuan could imagine how difficult it must have been for his mother to raise his siblings.
"Ye Family, you'd better pray that I can find my mother. Otherwise …"
A cruel smile appeared on Ye Xuan's face. Although his voice was calm, it gave off an extremely terrifying feeling. It was as if a sleeping demon king was slowly opening his eyes.
Xia Qiu did not know if it was her imagination, but when she saw the flash of blood in Ye Xuan's eyes, she suddenly took a few steps back. A layer of cold sweat drenched her back.
What … what kind of look was that? What had Xiao Ye gone through in the four years that he had disappeared?
A chill ran down her spine, as if she had fallen into an abyss. This was what Xia Qiu felt. She seemed to have seen a bloody scene in Ye Xuan's eyes.
One person, one path. An endless sea of blood was churning. On both sides of the sea were piles of bones. Thousands of blood souls were wailing, and countless living beings were crying. In that sea of blood, a figure had his back to all living beings. Stepping on the piles of bones, he finally ascended the throne of bones.
Perhaps sensing Xia Qiu's panic, Ye Xuan quickly woke up from his deep thoughts. His aura was restrained to the extreme, and he gave Xia Qiu an apologetic smile.
"Auntie Xia … Hmm?"
Ye Xuan was just about to speak when he frowned slightly and looked outside the room.
"No … No … You can't come in …"
"Aiya."
There was a commotion outside the office, accompanied by a nurse's cry of pain. This made Xia Qiu's expression change. She hurriedly said to Ye Xuan, "Xiao Ye, wait here for a while. Auntie has some things to deal with. I'll talk to you later."
Looking at Xia Qiu's back as she hurriedly left, Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and slowly followed her.
Hospital lobby.
Several bodyguards in black suits surrounded a young man and woman. The surrounding nurses and doctors were afraid, but they still blocked the young man and woman's path.
"Young Master Li, your brother had a sudden asthma attack. When he was sent here, he was already not breathing. This has nothing to do with Doctor Xia. You …"
"Get out of my way."
Li Mingze kicked the doctor on duty in front of him. His expression was extremely gloomy. "My brother only had an acute asthma attack. How could he die so easily?"
"It must be Xia Qiu who killed my brother. Tell her to get out here."
"The Li family doesn't want to make things difficult for you. This has nothing to do with you. I hope you can take care of yourself."
The young woman's appearance was beautiful, and her clothes were expensive. When she spoke, she was gentle and polite, but at this moment, her face was slightly gloomy.
The Li family was a famous family in Jiangnan City. They were second to none in the business world and the political world. Their Kaisheng Group was involved in several industries and was definitely a giant in Jiangnan City. There were also rumors that the Li family had the support of the underworld, but it was not confirmed.
After the autopsy, the Li siblings naturally knew that their brother's death had nothing to do with Xia Qiu. However, the Li family's old man had lost his beloved son. In order to appease the old man's grief, the Li siblings could only use Xia Qiu as a scapegoat.
Ordinary people could not afford to offend the Li family. This was why the doctors and nurses were afraid of the Li siblings.
"Your brother's death has nothing to do with me. You can go to the Supreme Court and sue me. If I'm really guilty, the Hanging Mirror Department will naturally send people to arrest me. Please don't make trouble out of nothing."
Xia Qiu shouted and quickly walked to the hospital lobby. There was no fear in her eyes when she looked at the Li siblings.
