"Even if you become very powerful one day, you will find that you still can't protect everyone around you. Grandma's matter was an accident that no one wanted to happen. Don't blame yourself, and don't feel guilty."

'No, you don't understand.'

​​

'I knew that Lu Qingxin was a bad person, but I didn't let her die directly.'

She should have killed Lu Qingxin no matter what.

At first, she wanted to pair Lu Qingxin and Gu Yancheng together so that the two would gradually grow to resent each other.

Then, when Lu Qingxin had nothing, she would shut the car under the scorching sun and let her feel Xiao Jin's despair and helplessness back then.

"Brother Li, I am going to a detective agency to let the people in the agency report all of Lu Qingxin's movements to me!"

Ye Tianxin's eyes were filled with hatred. She thought it over. When Lu Qingxin comes back, this land of green mountains and green waters will become Lu Qingxin's living hell.

Li Qingcang held Ye Tianxin's hand and whispered, "That's fine, but I do have a request. Tianxin, no matter what happens, you can't personally deal with Lu Qingxin. It's not worth it to dirty your own hands for such a person."

Ye Tianxin hasn't answered Li Qingcang yet. She didn't know how to respond.

She was afraid that after she answered, she would go back on whatever she said.

Xie Xuning walked from the corridor to Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang's side and then said to Ye Tianxin, "Tianxin, I want you to go somewhere with me."

"Where?"

Ye Tianxin was baffled. She didn't want to go anywhere now. She just wanted to be with her grandmother.

Xie Xuning said warmly, "You will know after you go with me."

Ye Tianxin hesitated but still glanced at Li Qingcang.

Li Qingcang said, "Tianxin, I will be here to watch Grandma. You can go. If anything happens, I will notify you as soon as possible."

Ye Tianxin and Xie Xuning left the hospital. Xie Xuning personally drove Ye Tianxin to the Ruyi Lake Sanatorium.

"Dad, what are we doing here?"

When Ye Tianxin saw the words "Ruyi Lake Sanatorium," she subconsciously thought, about how bad her grandma's condition could've been.

Xie Xuning motioned to Ye Tianxin to follow him to get out of the car. Xie Xuning believed that her daughter had the right to know what happened last night.

"Last night, after you and Xiao Cang left, I learned from Xie Xingqing that Linlang came to find me back then."

Ye Tianxin was shocked. She suddenly turned her head to look at Xie Xuning and asked, "Huh? When?"

"I think it was around when I was still under review."

Xie Xuning told Ye Tianxin about what happened last night. Then, he brought Ye Tianxin to a villa.

The villa looked like an ordinary villa with Western decorations, making the place look extremely simple yet elegant.

"This was why Xie Xingqing did these things."

Xie Xuning opened the door of the room, which had a hidden door hidden behind the bookshelf.

As soon as the door opened, a room of at least 20 square meters was revealed.

The walls of the room, from floor to ceiling, all had printed photos of Xie Xuning.

"This is…"

Looking at these photos, Ye Tianxin felt inexplicably nauseous.

So many photos were collected over the past ten years, but every photo had one thing in common—a certain man was seen in all of them.

This person was Xie Xuning.
