Although he didn't say anything, Ye Jian understood that the military had the intention to train her in Xia Jinyuan's direction. They wanted her to become a Special Forces soldier who could fight on the frontline like him!

Just thinking about it made Ye Jian excited. Her black eyes were brighter than the stars on a midsummer night.

The smile on Xia Jinyuan's lips deepened. The days of them fighting hand in hand weren't far away.

Shuikou Village was getting further and further away from them. When they arrived at the town, Ye Jian saw a car with a provincial city license parked at a food wholesale market. Three familiar figures walked out of the wholesale market with a few red plastic bags.

Ye Zhifan, who was walking at the front, turned his head and said something. Ye Ying's expression tensed up. Sun Dongqing, who was walking at the back, replied angrily. She hugged Ye Ying's shoulder with one hand and comforted her daughter.

Ye Jian glanced at the family of three coldly. She narrowed her eyes and asked the man who didn't seem to notice the family of three, "Captain Xia, was it Brother Zi who caused Grandma Ye's stroke? Also, why do I feel that you contributed to Ye Ying's disqualification?"

Ye Ying's actions could at most cause her university entrance examination results to get invalidated and score zero points. It couldn't ban her from taking the university entrance examination for three years.

That day, the leader of the Provincial Education Bureau said that her score will be invalidated. Who knew that something unexpected would happen that night that made her unable to come to the examination hall the next day. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that it had something to do with Captain Xia.

It had been a week. Xia Jinyuan didn't expect her to ask him about it. He replied vaguely, "Evil has its retribution. Their family can do things that harm others. Sooner or later, they will pay for their actions."

Hearing his words, Ye Jian smiled. Her gaze towards Xia Jinyuan became gentler.

There was always someone who would silently help her solve her problems without her knowing. He would never say it out loud and would handle everything in secret, not wanting her to be distracted.

In this life, with such a person accompanying her, those cold and damp past events seemed insignificant.

Grandma Ye had a rather severe stroke. She had been staying at the town hospital on an IV drip for the past few days and had not been sent to the city hospital that was six hours away from Fujun Town.

The situation had come too suddenly. Even if Ye Zhixiang wanted to send her to the city hospital, she couldn't for fear of a relapse.

"I don't know why she suddenly had a stroke after coming back. She keeps mumbling. I can't hear what she was saying." Ye Zhixiang's eyes were a little red and swollen. She tucked in the blanket covering Grandma Ye, whose mouth had become crooked. She looked haggard as she said, "Second Brother, I want to transfer Mom to the province to take care of her. The town hospital's environment is too poor."

In just one night, her strongest support had fallen. Even the arrogant and despotic Ye Zhixiang had become weak.

Sun Dongqing looked at Grandma Ye who had a mouth but couldn't speak. Grandma Ye couldn't walk and was just lying there. She felt an indescribable joy in her heart.

She replied sarcastically, "Your house is big and Mom has been worried about you for the rest of her life. It's only right for you to take care of her in the province." There is no way that she will take care of Grandma Ye!

"Sister-in-law, don't be so sarcastic. You're also responsible for Mom's stroke! Don't try to shirk responsibility!" Ye Zhixiang had never been good to Sun Dongqing.

"Ye Zhixiang, you're the one taking care of her. What does it have to do with me?! You want to blame me? No way!" Sun Dongqing, who did not want to be outdone, immediately scolded her. "You used to make things difficult for me. Now that something has happened, you're thinking about me. Ye Zhixiang, do you think I'm still as easy to bully as before?"
