Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 864: Chapter 521: Gamble (Part 2)

"Send to..." Li Jingsong wanted to seek Ye Xuan’s opinion, but saw the other party instructing over the phone: "... make a red date and longan porridge, and a chrysanthemum barley porridge..."

"Lead the way, I want to see Luo Ye immediately." Hanging up the phone, Ye Xuan instructed.

Li Jingsong smiled fawningly at Ye Xuan: "Major General Ye, our kitchen chef here is particularly skilled."

Ye Xuan "hmphed" once: "Stop the nonsense, lead the way."

"Yes."

Seeing that Ye Xuan was about to explode in anger, Li Jingsong was too scared to say another word. Officer Bai’s face was ashen, knowing she was the main culprit. Even though she didn’t see Ye Xuan’s credentials earlier, just from Li Jingsong’s behavior, she knew the background must be really substantial...

"Should we still make the porridge?" Xiao Wang helplessly looked at their retreating backs, unsure what to do. Although she hadn’t figured out the exact situation, looking at their prison director’s expression, she understood that both the director and Officer Bai were probably in trouble...

Upon reaching the room where Luo Ye was kept, Officer Bai’s voice trembled as she pointed: "It... it’s this one."

Glancing at the nameplate on the door, Ye Xuan’s expression darkened even more: "Open the door!"

Luo Ye was sitting on a shabby bed with her eyes closed, resting. Hearing a series of footsteps at the door and then that all-too-familiar voice, her heart jumped for joy, and she quickly stood up.

The moment the door opened, Luo Ye was already at the entrance. However, due to the dim lighting in the room and not having eaten in two days, she suddenly felt dizzy, with a white haze before her eyes, and reflexively closed them.

"Ye’er." As the magnetic voice rang out, she was already embraced in a warm hug.

"You’re back?" Having adjusted to the light, Luo Ye looked up at him with a cheerful gaze. The fitted black casual wear highlighted his robust physique, and she noted with relief, he hadn’t lost weight.

Moving her gaze upward, his deep tan skin, high nose bridge, and those tender, ink-purple eyes... Yes, he was still that cool and handsome guy, just a bit tanner than before, with some subtle changes — he looked even sturdier.

It made sense. After nearly a year of inhuman trials, how could there not be changes?

His calloused, rough hands gently brushed her pink cheeks, the concern in his eyes unmistakable: "Fool, why would you make yourself suffer like this? In all of Huaxia, how could we let a young girl like you bear this burden?"

"I’m fine, really." Luo Ye giggled cheekily, "Take a closer look. These few days in here, hasn’t my skin gotten fairer? Oh, right, you didn’t see how I looked before." She turned to Ye Mo, "Captain, look, haven’t I gotten fairer?"

"Uh..., I can’t tell." Ye Mo was left speechless, only this girl would joke at such a time.

"Let’s go, we’ll talk somewhere else." Ye Xuan, holding her, walked out. When his gaze landed on Li Jingsong and Officer Bai, he coldly "hmphed," "You all, will be satisfied."

"Major General Ye, we were only doing our duty, please understand." Li Jingsong hesitated for a moment, blocking Ye Xuan’s path, "Major General Ye, in terms of status, I probably don’t have the right to speak with you, but since I’ve been placed in this position, I must uphold these responsibilities, you cannot just take Miss Luo away like this."

"Oh?" Ye Xuan squinted his eyes, "Is it truly duty? You know exactly what’s going on in your heart, or are you planning to stubbornly continue down this path?"

"Major General Ye, I don’t understand what you’re saying." Li Jingsong’s eyes were full of confusion, "Or are you suggesting that you don’t believe what I say? That you think we’ve fabricated lies intentionally?"

Li Jingsong had made a split-second decision to take a gamble. Judging from Ye Xuan’s demeanor and tone, even if he complied with Ye Xuan, it might not yield any good outcomes, so he decided to take the opposite approach.

Ye Xuan came in a private capacity to retrieve his fiancée, no matter where he reported this, as a prison director stopping him wasn’t wrong. Weighing it all, he decided to completely break off with the other party.

Of course, regarding Luo Ye’s alleged assault, he wasn’t afraid of her revealing the truth. There were seven others in the cell who could testify. What did he have to fear? With this in mind, Li Jingsong’s demeanor was noticeably different from before.

If Li Jingsong knew Ye Xuan was the grandson of the Ye Family, would he still have acted this way?

At this time, while everyone wasn’t paying attention, Officer Bai had sneaked off to make a phone call, thinking perhaps a desperate measure might prove worthwhile, but it would depend on luck.

Seeing Ye Xuan about to burst into anger, Luo Ye tugged at his sleeve: "I’m indeed not suited to leave now."

"Ye’er." Ye Xuan furrowed his brows.

Luo Ye’s lips curved into a mischievous smile: "Of course I know you’re worried about me, but wouldn’t leaving just like that be too easy on some people? Just because I don’t take action against her doesn’t mean I’ll always be good-tempered!"

"Ye’er, you haven’t eaten in two days, and the conditions here are really bad. Come back with me first, I’ll deal with those who don’t appreciate kindness, okay?" Ye Xuan whispered in negotiation.

Luo Ye looked at him seriously: "This time, let me handle it myself, believe in me."

"Of course, I believe in Ye’er." Ye Xuan looked at her with concern: "I know, with Ye’er’s wit, you definitely wouldn’t act rashly, but even so, I just don’t want you to stay here any longer."

Luo Ye thought: "Then wait for me in the car, barring any surprises, we can definitely leave tonight." She glanced at Li Jingsong, "Prison Director Li, should I return to the solitary room or the dorm cell?"
