"No, she belongs here. Wherever I, Ye Xiaofan, am, there will be a place for her."
This angry shout echoed throughout the hospital corridor, drawing almost everyone's attention.
Chen Mengying remained silent, while Liu Siyan felt a silent heartache. Although Fei and Ouyang Xiong didn't understand what Xiaofan was talking about, they were quietly worrying for him from behind.
Meanwhile, in the building opposite Xiaofan's ward's second consultation department, a man and a woman were quietly watching Xiaofan from afar.
After hearing Xiaofan's loud shout, the woman burst into tears, squatting on the ground. She didn't dare to look anymore, fearing she would be unable to leave, unwilling to part with the youth she spent her days with over this period.
That boy was very clever, acting calmly and decisively, and he cared greatly for her. Though admittedly he was somewhat flirtatious. As the past fades away, all these memories will disperse like the wind once she leaves H City.
"Let's go." Shen Zuimo gathered her emotions, then slowly stood up and walked out.
Beside her, Shen Junjie sighed silently, holding Ren Zhongtian's ashes, following slowly.
As a brother, Shen Junjie felt his sister's current pain and reluctance. But there was no choice; her identity was unusual, and now she also had amnesia. He had to protect her better.
Of course, the amnesiac Shen Zuimo would not listen to anyone, even if the figure before her claimed to be her brother. Nevertheless, she chose to follow them solely for Xiaofan's sake. Even if Xiaofan himself didn't care, she had to leave him.
The day after rescuing Shen Zuimo.
Inside the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
Ren Zhongtian's death shocked everyone greatly. The previously world-renowned Yanhuang's First War God had fallen, and upon receiving the autopsy report, people were even more amazed.
It turns out Ren Zhongtian had long been suffering from an incurable disease; even if he hadn't perished today, he would have had less than two months left to live. His illness stemmed from injuries accumulated over years of combat, the kind that couldn't be healed by medicine anymore.
Of course, everyone analyzed Ren Zhongtian's death carefully, discovering the cause was the Black Scorpion's poison. After receiving the special soldier's account, who was saved by Ren Zhongtian, everyone learned how heroic Ren Zhongtian was against the Life-taking Five Ghosts. Yet, why Ren Zhongtian died next to Ye Xiaofan, only Xiaofan could explain.
Regarding this matter, Lin Miaoke had to write a very detailed report herself. Because Xiaofan had taken her gun and police car, and in the end, two bullets from her gun were fired—one killing an assassin and the other the Ghost, one of the Five Ghosts.
Reflecting on Shen Zuimo, she initially stayed by Xiaofan's side following her rescue, never leaving his side for a step. But due to her unique identity, Shen Junjie had many matters to clarify with her once again.
One was a top-notch expert of the Yanhuang Soul, the other a cold assassin of a certain organization. The fact they were siblings was indeed puzzling.
The origin of the story traces back to their childhood, when Shen Junjie was ten and Shen Zuimo only seven. With their parents busy with work, after school, Shen Junjie naturally had to take his seven-year-old sister home. But one day, they were targeted by traffickers on their way, drugged, and, due to Shen Junjie being too old, only Shen Zuimo was taken away. Under the shadow of failing to protect his sister, fourteen years passed in the blink of an eye.
Seeking his sister, Shen Junjie vowed to become a policeman. Due to his physical aptitude and exceptional effort, he was quickly selected to join the Yanhuang Soul as a warrior. Eventually, during a mission, Shen Junjie and Shen Zuimo met due to mission conflict. Shen Zuimo had grown to resemble their mother so much that Shen Junjie refrained from immediately taking her life; instead, he expressed his doubts after subduing her.
Upon revealing the real name buried in Shen Zuimo's heart for years, Shen Junjie knew she was his sister. DNA comparison fully confirmed their relation.
Afterward, Ren Zhongtian advocated for Shen Junjie, allowing Shen Zuimo to join the Yanhuang Soul, thus reforming. Shen Zuimo accepted gladly, as she had grown weary of her life as a professional assassin. Joining the Yanhuang Soul also brought a significant secret from her organization along.
Due to the gravity, Ren Zhongtian hoped Shen Zuimo could return to the assassin organization as a spy to retrieve the secret. Shen Junjie was naturally unwilling. Yet, Shen Zuimo insisted on accomplishing this task, considering it her first step toward reform.
Thus, Shen Zuimo returned to the organization without arousing suspicion and, using her masterful skills, stole the secret. She agreed with her brother to meet in H City afterward.
However, upon discovery, the assassin organization sent people to chase her down to Phoenix Mountain in H City. Shen Zuimo was shot, fell down a slope, and suffered a head injury, losing her memory.
Afterward, she met Ye Xiaofan.
Regarding her past, Shen Zuimo felt rather comforted because being recognized by the Yanhuang Soul meant she no longer had to hide from the police and could openly be with Xiaofan.
But was it really that simple?
"You can't return to Ye Xiaofan."
"Why? Even if you're my brother, you have no right to control my personal life, do you?" Hearing her brother's attempt to stop her, Shen Zuimo frowned immediately.
"The secret isn't with you or Ye Xiaofan, nor at his house. You've lost your memory and can't recall its location. Moreover, your personal safety is not guaranteed." Shen Junjie expressed his concern.
"I'm not afraid. At worst, I'll die."
"Then what about Ye Xiaofan? What if your involvement leads to his death? He's just a regular high school student; he doesn't need to be involved in this. He has his own world and life. Zuimo, you must understand what you're doing now."
These words pierced Shen Zuimo's heart like a sharp knife, prompting her to endure heartache and decide to leave with her brother, entirely for Ye Xiaofan's safety.
To ensure his happiness and joy, she had to leave, far away, never to see him again, so as not to drag him down.
Of course, this content was something our classmate Xiaofan could never know; no one would reveal the truth to him. Instead, they would tell him a massive lie to his face.
"Hey, are you Ye Xiaofan?"
Just as Xiaofan was clamoring to find Shen Zuimo at the hospital door, a man appeared before him.
"Hello, my name is Bing, a sniper. This is a recording Shen Zuimo left for you before departing, listen to it yourself."
