Chapter 127 Disclosure]

Ye Bancheng didn’t dare to open his eyes. He didn’t want Yezi to see his angry, sad, disappointed and self-reproached eyes. His life was already like this. He was no different from being dead. He was now as good as dead physically or psychologically. Hence, he didn’t want to bring trouble to his daughter, his most beloved daughter.

“Haiz.” Ye Tianming sighed. “Father, it’s really sad to see you like this. Being your children, we will take good care of you. I’ll find Brother Bing later and check if he can ask Doctor Zhang for help.”

Yezi opened her mouth. She wanted to say that Brother Bing had already asked for help. Even if Zhang Yizhi came, there was nothing he could do about the current situation. However, she thought that although her father had closed his eyes, he might still be listening. Hence, she held back. As Ye Bancheng’s mental well-being was now extremely weak, it was better for him to have some expectations.

At this time, tears suddenly rolled down from the corner of Ye Bancheng’s eyes. Yezi and the rest rushed out. Her nose twitched as she held back her tears. She choked, “Father, don’t be sad. You will recover. You will be fine. As for Elder sister… she must have taken things too hard. She will realize her mistake and I will speak to her. Our family will still be as harmonious as the time when Mother was still around. Alright?”

At that moment, there was a burst of footsteps at the door. The bodyguard at the door said, “What are you doing? This is the ward of the chairman of Ye Family. No outsiders are allowed to enter.”

Someone said, “Sorry, I am the police.” The speaker was a woman. Her tone was rather clear and undoubtful.

“What about the police? What’s so great about the police? Have you ever heard of the Ye Family…”

“Get out of the way, get out of the way.” The bodyguards seemed to have been pushed aside and the door was then pushed open from the outside. Four policemen dressed in police uniforms came in. They were led by Jiang Wanting, the chief of the Jinsha District Criminal Police Brigade who once had dealings with Xiao Bing.

As Xiao Bing once made a scene at Heavenly Palace, Jiang Wanting once arrested Xiao Bing after the death of Zhu Liya. However, Xiao Bing was released after being questioned by the police. Although there was some unhappiness initially, it was soon resolved. She also admired Xiao Bing’s integrity.

Upon seeing a group of people breaking in, Yezi was in a foul mood. She said agitatedly, “Police officer, members of the Ye Family are all law-abiding citizens. This is a hospital ward. My father is resting there. I’m afraid it is not very good for you to break in.”

Jiang Wanting flashed out her police officer’s identification and said seriously, “Let me introduce myself. I am Jiang Wanting, chief of the Jinsha District Criminal Police Brigade. Is Ye Xinyi your sister?”

Yezi felt uneasy. She said, “Yes, yes, what’s the matter?”

Jiang Wanting said, “There has just been a murder case. A body was found in the garbage dump. It was identified to be Miss Ye Xinyi. She was strangled and dumped. We are now investigating and need to take your statements.”

“What?” She was extremely shocked as though a bomb had exploded in her head. Her legs felt weak and she nearly fell to the ground.

Ye Tianming grabbed Yezi. He stared sharply. He fulminated, “What? My sister is dead?”

“Yes. Please cooperate with the investigation.”

“How, how…” Yezi lay in Ye Tianming’s arms. She almost fainted.

Ye Tianming said, “Aunt Liu, please bring her to a seat and let her rest for a while I go with the police. Officer, my sister can’t be agitated. It’s not convenient for the time being. First, I’ll accompany you to take a statement. Is that okay?”

“Yes, you can come with us first.”

Before leaving, Ye Tianming turned around. He appeared sad and said to Liu Piaopiao, “Aunt Liu, please take good care of my father and sister.”

Liu Piaopiao nodded. Then, Ye Tianming then followed the police and went out.

“Haiz.” Liu Piaopiao sighed heavily. She helped Yezi lie on the bed and said softly, “Yezi, you must take good care of yourself. Now our family has become like this. If you collapse, your brother and I will not be able to take care of you. Then the whole family will be finished.”

“I know, I know. Aunt Liu.”

Liu Piaopiao sighed and said, “Although Bancheng has already become like this, I still regard myself as your relatives. I will take good care of you and Bancheng in the future.”

Aunt Liu sighed and said, “Aunt Liu, I’m sorry that I have treated you so badly in the past.”

“It’s nothing. Aunt Liu understands.”

“Thank you, Aunt Liu. I am very tired now. I want some peace and quiet. Please help to take good care of my father.”

“Yes.” Liu Piaopiao sighed as she looked back at Ye Bancheng. She saw Ye Bancheng’s eyes were still closed and he was motionless. She walked to the table and looked back at Yezi. When she noticed that Yezi wasn’t looking at her, she quietly took out a pack of medicine from her pocket and poured the medicine powder into the cup. She then poured water into the same cup, shook it and brought it over to Yezi quietly. She said softly, “Xiaoxi, drink some water.”

“Aunt Liu, just take good care of my father. Don’t worry about me.”

“I know that you are upset and angry. Although Xinyi did this to your father, I am also very sad over her death… but you also need to take good care of your body. At this time, your father would be sadder than you, won’t he…”

Yezi had to stay strong for her parents and family. Furthermore, how did Sister die? Ye Tianming flashed through her mind but was soon excluded. To her, Brother was a kind person, who treasured relationship.

Yezi still remembered the time when she was doing her homework in her room. She suddenly mentioned that she wanted to eat candied haws. It was just a mindless remark. However, Brother secretly ran out of the house, went to a distant shop and bought a lot of candied haws back. As their parents wouldn’t let her eat sweets, Brother was scolded for his actions.

She still remembered that Brother would stay by Mother every day when Mother was seriously ill. At that time, Sister was strong enough to go to the company every day, but Brother was dispirited. No matter how Father criticized him, he refused to leave. On one occasion, she saw Brother hiding in the room and crying silently.

How could such a person kill his own sister?

When Brother was eighteen years old, he made a wish. He only told Yezi his wish. He hoped everyone in the family could live happily together forever and never to be separated.

Yezi took over the cup and drank the water. Liu Piaopiao stared at Yezi and sat down beside her. She said softly, “You have been very tired. Have a good rest. I’ll take care of your father.”

“Yes… I’m a little sleepy…”

Yezi lay on the bed. Shortly after, she closed her eyes and started snoring.

Liu Piaopiao covered Yezi with a blanket and sighed. She walked towards the bedside of Ye Bancheng. Ye Bancheng opened his eyes and glared at Liu Piaopiao. Liu Piaopiao said reproachfully, “Don’t worry, there is no conflict between Tianming and Xiaoxi. I won’t harm her. I just put some sleeping pills in her water. She must be soundly asleep now.”

Liu Piaopiao sat down beside Ye Bancheng and held his hand gently. Ye Bancheng was unable to break free, so he had to let her hold his hands. Ye Bancheng was using his eyes to tell Liu Piaopiao that he hated her.

Liu Piaopiao lowered her head and suddenly burst into tears. She said, “I’m sorry, Bancheng… I know you are really good to me and treat me sincerely, but I have cheated on you. I don’t want to do this! I am in love with Tianming…”

“I met Tianming first. I fell in love with him after only one night. After that, he has been very kind to me. Until one day, he wants me to do one thing for him, that is, to make you fall in love with me and then take me home.”

“I was actually very reluctant. Which man is willing to push his woman to another man? Furthermore, the other man is his father. At that time, I knew that he was using me. From the first day he saw me, he had planned to make use of me, but I couldn’t help it.”

“After interacting with you, I initially wanted to take advantage of you so as to help Tianming. But gradually, I can feel your sincerity. You treat me extremely well. How can I not feel… I feel so guilty and scared. I don’t know what Tianming is going to make me do to you. Luckily, he didn’t ask me to do anything. He wants me to be a good wife and treat you seriously.”

“At that time, I even thought about giving up the man who didn’t love me at all and devoting all my feelings to our relationship. It’s actually quite good to live a simple life.”

“There was a time when he asked me to cooperate with him at the temple. He said he wanted to cause a relapse of your heart issues. He said you had killed your wife, so you would be terrified when you suddenly see something similar to a ghost. I declined, but I really couldn’t reject him. What’s more, I was afraid he would tell you our relationship… so I was forced to…”

“I’m sorry… Bancheng, I’m really sorry… I’ve reached this stage gradually. I dare not say that I am forced and dare not to shirk my responsibility. The only thing I can do is to apologise…”

Ye Bancheng felt somewhat relieved. He suddenly struggled to lift his other hand. His hand was trembling. He gently stroked Liu Piaopiao’s face as tears welled up in his eyes.

Liu Piaopiao cried and said, “I’m sorry…”

At this time, Liu Piaopiao heard Yezi’s voice from behind. Yezi said, “Liu Piaopiao, how could you and Brother do such a thing!”

Liu Piaopiao was frightened and stood up hurriedly. Although Yezi seemed very lethargic, she was trying to climb down from the bed. She looked at Liu Piaopiao angrily.
