Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 734: Chapter 438: Wounds

”Does Ye Xuan know?”

As Luo Ye’s question came out, Ye Qinghe’s face suddenly changed, and she stuttered in explanation: ”Little sister-in-law, please...don’t blame Big Brother, he...he didn’t want you to worry...”

Before she could finish, Luo Ye had already disappeared like a gust of wind.

”Lianlian, did I cause trouble?” Ye Qinghe looked painfully at Luo Lian.

Luo Lian snorted, ”No, it’s Ye Xuan’s fault. Why didn’t he tell Luoluo? If he really likes Luoluo, he shouldn’t hide things from her.”

Ye Qinghe grimaced, murmuring, ”Big Brother... Big Brother... has his difficulties...”

”What difficulties?”

”This... this...” Ye Qinghe frowned, not knowing how to respond.

Luo Lian glanced at her and did not pursue further: ”Let it go. It’s over.”

”Lianlian...” Ye Qinghe quickly took a step forward to catch up, grasping her arm, ”If the little sister-in-law is angry with Big Brother, you must help persuade her.

If... if the little sister-in-law leaves Big Brother because of this, I’ll regret it to the extent of wanting to kill myself, Lianlian, can you help me, please?”

Luo Lian sighed: ”Let’s be reasonable.”

”Okay...okay.” Ye Qinghe’s head drooped in a dejected manner.

...

The door of the teahouse’s private room was abruptly pushed open. Everyone’s gaze turned toward the entrance, just as Luo Ye stood there with a gloomy expression, ”Ye’er, what’s wrong?” Ye Xuan asked hastily.

”Why didn’t you tell me about Sister Qingzhu’s matter?” Luo Ye looked at him coldly.

Ye Xuan’s eyes flickered: ”Ye’er, can we talk about this later, please?”

”No!” Luo Ye shook his head, ”Or in your heart, am I just an outsider? If that’s the case, I have nothing to say!”

”You know that’s not possible...” Ye Xuan stepped forward, trying to embrace Luo Ye, but she dodged his outstretched hand with a shrug of her shoulder, ”Stick to the matter, why all the fuss?”

”Oops!”

”I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to.” Miao Lin continuously waved her hands in apology.

”Let’s not disturb today; another day I’ll treat everyone to tea,” Sun Linjian said as he pulled Miao Lin to leave, and Li Xueqin tactfully followed.

”Perhaps, I should leave too.” Just arrived, Qi Bin also stood up, casting a deep glance at Luo Ye, ”Luo Ye, I’ll invite you and Ye Xuan for dinner some other day.”

”No need, stay,” Ye Xuan stopped him, ”It’s rare to meet up, and this matter also involves your family to some extent, let’s listen together.”

Just then, Luo Lian came in, asking, ”Ye Xuan, can I stay with Luoluo?”

”Of course.” Ye Xuan looked deeply at Luo Ye, ”Ye’er, do you trust me?”

Luo Ye nodded slightly, ”I trust you, but I’m angry that you hid this from me, knowing my good relationship with Sister Qingzhu and her friendship with Lianlian.”

”Alright, take a seat.” Ye Xuan tentatively moved forward to embrace her; Luo Ye hesitated for a moment, did not shake him off, and obediently sat beside him.

Ye Xuan scanned the room, ”Besides Qing He and me, those present here don’t know about this matter yet, so, let me start from the beginning.”

”Big Brother,” Ye Shuo urgently called out to him, ”First, tell me, how is Second Sister now?”

”Don’t worry, she has fully recovered, she’s just undergoing routine convalescence now.”

”Start talking, Big Brother.”

”On that day Qing Zhu was involved in the investigation of Ye’er’s case. Later, to avoid conflict of interest, she left that case and then took her first assignment in Team A.

The case that happened last year on July 19th, the perpetrator had not been caught, and he often lurked near S University, causing nearby residents to dare not go out after dark.

However, many students from S University participated in part-time work off-campus, and not a few would return to campus late into the night, resulting in two female students being victimized recently.

The perpetrator was extremely brutal, raping and killing the girls, and leaving their bodies unrecognizable. Qing Zhu’s task was to cooperate with the Sha City Criminal Investigation Team to catch the criminal.

Considering her skills and appearance, using her as bait was considered the best plan.

Qing Zhu persisted in that area for five days, finally catching the perpetrator’s attention, but coincidentally, on the day the criminal intended to make a move, Qi Qianqian appeared on that road while following Qu Yue.

As a result, the criminal mistook Qi Qianqian for Qing Zhu, and just as he was about to act, members of the Criminal Investigation Team appeared, and one of them held a knife to Qi Qianqian’s neck as a threat.

In that situation, a team member, eager to demonstrate, attempted to shoot one of the criminals, but was noticed by another criminal, leading to a desperate action.”

The knife was about to slice Qi Qianqian’s throat when Qing Zhu selflessly dove from a tree to save her, but she injured her spine due to the fall from the height.

Originally, the doctors said she might have to lie in bed for a lifetime, but luckily, Doctor Zhong and Doctor Zhan joined hands in treatment, which gave Qing He a hope for recovery.

She has been undergoing rehabilitation therapy in the hospital these days, and now she can walk normally, but running quickly still needs some time.

Luo Ye glared at Ye Xuan with displeasure, ”This is what happened, why couldn’t you tell me?”

”At that time, you were entangled with Qiao Xiaowan’s affairs, I really didn’t want to add pressure on you. After things were clear, it was Qing Zhu who didn’t let me tell you.

Considering your personality, you would definitely worry if you knew, and since everything was already fine, I simply didn’t want you to worry. She will be discharged from the hospital by New Year, and then, you can talk then.”

”How could it be the same?” Luo Ye angrily kicked him, ”Is it the same thing? When she was in her most difficult time, no one went to see her, no one accompanied her, leaving her to face everything alone.

Don’t you know how terrifying it is for a healthy person who suddenly can’t walk? How dare you not tell me, I’ll kick you to death, kick you to death...”

”Kick hard!” Qi Bin added fuel to the fire, ”After all, his bones are tough and his skin is thick, he doesn’t feel pain.”

Ye Xuan gave him a speechless look, ”Qi Bin, Qing Zhu saved your sister, have you no conscience?”

Qi Bin shook his head, ”Qianqian didn’t mention this, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have known, let alone our old folks at home, Boss Ye, seems like your Ye Family wants to be unsung heroes?”

”I kept you here to let you know what happened. Go home and talk to your elders, keep a closer eye on Qi Qianqian, don’t let her cause such trouble again. If it weren’t for her that night, would Qing Zhu have been injured?”

”I understand, forget what I just said,” Qi Bin replied earnestly, ”Ye Family’s kindness, Qi Family will remember.”

”Alright, enough with the sappiness, it was also for her job,” Ye Xuan turned to Luo Ye who was pouting, ”Ye’er, still angry?”

”Hmph, of course,” said Luo Ye, pulling Luo Lian, ”Lianlian, let’s go see Qing Zhu.”

Ye Qinghe quickly stood up, ”I’ll lead the way, I know where.”

”I’m also going, I was wondering, every time I asked about Second Sister, Grandpa was always vague, saying she’s just busy and will definitely return for the New Year, I thought it was true,” Ye Shuo murmured as he stood up, grinning at Luo Ye, ”Little sister-in-law, don’t be hard on brother, he meant well, although he didn’t manage it well.”

”Brat, what are you saying?” Ye Xuan slapped him on the head, then turned to Luo Ye with a flattering smile, ”Ye’er, I’ll take you there now.”

Luo Ye glared at him, ”No need, we can take a car there just fine.”

Qi Bin quickly said, ”Ye’er, I drove here, take my car, I’ll take you.”

Ye Xuan slapped him, ”Call her sister-in-law, is Ye’er what you should call her?”

”What sister-in-law, we’re not even married yet, what’s the rush?” Qi Bin cheekily laughed, ”Boss, even you have such days, hehe...”

...

In the recreation area of Beijing 301 Hospital.

Zhong Yi was holding Ye Qingzhu, who was staring blankly at the snowflakes, ”Qing Zhu, let’s go back to your room, your body hasn’t fully recovered yet, you can’t catch a cold again.”

Ye Qingzhu smiled sweetly at him, ”Zhong Yi, if... I really can’t walk this time, what would you do?”

”I would be your legs and continue to study medical skills tirelessly, striving to make you stand again one day,” Zhong Yi smiled as he helped her up, ”Silly girl, are you having wild thoughts again? You’ve asked this countless times.”

”It’s not that, I was just thinking... given the nature of my job, it’s not impossible I might encounter such situations again, so I could end up paralyzed or face even more dangerous situations, I need to know in advance what you would do...”

Zhong Yi glared at her, interrupting, ”Are you planning to find ways to hurt yourself in the future? And you won’t rest until something happens?”

”No...” Ye Qingzhu sheepishly smiled, ”I was just asking casually. Ah, I feel like such a failure, Feng Xian has already been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, and I’m still just a Captain. I finally get a mission, and end up like this, catching up to her is like a fool’s dream.”

Zhong Yi flicked her forehead, ”Silly girl, why do you need to catch up to her?”

”That was my initial intention when I joined Team A. If I can’t surpass her, how disappointing. Brother is stronger than Feng Tianzhi, I must be stronger than Feng Xian.” Ye Qingzhu pouted, ”Ever since we were kids, she was always slightly ahead, I just don’t believe I’m really inferior to her.”

”I knew it, even now you can’t forget to compete with me.”

Following the voice, a woman in her mid-twenties, with fine eyebrows, a straight nose, and very much resembling Feng Tianzhi, walked over.

It was Feng Xian.

Ye Qingzhu’s expression softened, ”How come you are here?”

”Second Miss Ye, after so many years, you still hold a grudge?” Feng Xian raised her eyebrows at Zhong Yi, ”Doctor, you really fit my aesthetic standards, how about, let’s give it a try?”
