In his dream, Ye Aotian seemed to see an unknown world. In this world, he struggled to crawl forward. However, he could clearly feel the changes within himself. He knew that he had grown stronger once again. Within his own inner world, he seemed to see a colossal version of himself, proudly gazing up at the sky.
In an instant, Ye Aotian abruptly woke up and immediately sat up straight. He looked around warily at the people surrounding him.
At this moment, Ling Xiaoyun spoke, âYouâre awake?â
Ye Aotian asked, âWhat happened to me?â
âI donât know. You seemed to have lost consciousness. Do you still ⦠remember anything?â
âNo, I only remember that I entered the room, and then I lost all memory of what happened after. Tell me, what happened inside the room?â
Ling Xiaoyun replied, âIâm not sure either, but my sister told me that a mysterious person took action. Thinking about it, it makes sense. If the mysterious person hadnât interfered, you really would have easily killed Chen Fan at that time.â
Ye Aotian sneered and said, âAs expected, just as I predicted. My strength has once again grown stronger. Not bad, not bad. As I thought, Chen Fan is my whetstone.â
Ling Xiaoyun said, âMm, as long as youâre improving, thatâs good. For now, I wonât be protecting you anymore. Be careful on your own. I need to focus on improving my own strength.â
âDonât worry, I donât need it. I think ⦠I have someone even better to protect me.â
Ye Aotian left and made a call to Miao Lingyu, saying, âWhere are you guys?â
âWeâve found a place to stay. Why?â
âI remember arranging a place for you to stay.â
Miao Lingyu said, âYou seem to be treating us like your personal belongings. Can you get that straight? I really donât like your tone.â
âSor⦠sorry, I was just worried about you.â
âYou donât need to worry about that. For the sake of the family, we might help you, but as per the familyâs orders, we will only help you three times.â
He hadnât expected to have already used one of those times.
âI was just worried about your safety. Last nightâs mysterious person ⦠they didnât attack you, did they?â
âThey did, but they only taught us a lesson and gave us a warning. We did, in fact, break the rules. We were just trying to save someone, but if we had killed Chen Fan, we would have brought a disaster upon ourselves. Ye Aotian, I have to report this matter to my family.â
Ye Aotian was momentarily stunned. No, this wasnât like them.
Normally, they always spoke in his favor. Wasnât she supposed to be fearless? Why was she acting so timid now?
âIs it really that serious?â
âIf we had taken action and killed Chen Fan, what then? By that time, the retaliation would involve our entire family.â
âIf anything happens, I, Ye Aotian, will bear it alone. I wonât let the people around me suffer any injustice.â
Thinking back on the storyâs events, Miao Lingyu also felt it was ridiculous. She had to admit one thingâChenâs family didnât bother making things difficult for him. If they really wanted to, they could have simply issued a direct order, and Ye Aotian would have died.
The families tied to him would also perish.
Perhaps the Ling family wouldnât be afraid, since they were involved in medicine, had broad connections, and could find a way to survive.
But what did the Miao family have?
The Miao family wouldnât be able to survive.
The Miao family was in the industry sector, and when the time came, the real ones to suffer would be their family.
âFrom now on, unless itâs something truly important, donât call us anymore.â
At this moment, the diary updated. The two sisters picked it up and read it together.
Interestingly, for the two sisters, the diary was visible to both of them and could be read simultaneously. Perhaps this was just part of the twisted humor behind itâafter all, everyone liked the idea of twins having a telepathic connection.
Whatâs going on?
After reading the diary, everyone looked completely baffled.
Miao Lingyu angrily said, âSis, look at Chen Fan. Do we seriously have no more plot?â
Miao Lingyin was momentarily stunned.
Miao Lingyu continued, âSis, did you read the diary?â
âI did.â
âBut we have no plot!â
âItâs probably later on. We showed up too early. Thatâs our fault. Maybe ⦠we should go back for now?â
Miao Lingyu was unwilling and said, âNo, Iâm not going back! The diary says we were supposed to be undercover, right? Why donât we just go and actually be undercover?â
âThey might not accept us. Forget it, you know how Chen Fan is.â
âI donât care! Iâm going undercover! Staying around Chen Fan is way more fun. I donât want to stay by Ye Aotianâs side for even a second longer. Itâs so disgusting.â
Miao Lingyin asked, âBut how do we even go about it? We canât just become undercover agents out of nowhere.â
Miao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, âI have an idea. Donât worry. To be undercover, Ye Aotian has to agree first, right?â
âYeah, I suppose so. Otherwise, thereâd be no reason for us to go.â
âThen letâs just tell him directly. Whatâs the big deal?â
âNo way! I donât agree! Chen Fan will just bully you two!â
Ye Aotian was furious. This was absolutely unacceptable.
In his eyes, the women around him belonged to him. If these two women went over, wouldnât that mean he was sending his own women into the enemyâs arms?
Miao Lingyu said, âWhat does this have to do with you? We find Chen Fan annoying and want to spy on him.â
