Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 911: Chapter 549: Pleading for Mercy

After breakfast the next day, Luo Ye and Yu Wenze took a short break and were accompanied by several staff members from the Security Department and the Information Center to climb the Great Wall.

They had been to the Great Wall countless times, but because of its symbolic significance, they naturally couldn’t decline the chief’s kind gesture.

Luo Ye and Yu Wenze’s physical strength was evident, and they quickly left the accompanying personnel behind. Yu Wenze glanced back and couldn’t help but mutter in a low voice, "With this time, I might as well go back to do research." He nodded backwards with his chin, "And look at them, their eyes aren’t right."

Having known each other for a while, Luo Ye and Yu Wenze shared a relationship that was both teacher-student and friendly, so she joked with a laugh, "Professor Yu Wen, they’re just envious of us. You should be satisfied."

"I’m satisfied, but I’m anxious. Now that the Sky Net issue is resolved, we should hurry to make adjustments. Seeing the arrangement this morning, I thought they were taking us to the battlefield."

Luo Ye persuaded quietly, "You might think this is just fulfilling your duty and isn’t a big deal, but in essence, the credit is there. Don’t worry, for the chiefs, even if they can’t openly commend you, their attitude must be shown."

Yu Wenze looked at her with admiration, "Luo Ye, I’ve discovered that at your young age, you understand everything."

Luo Ye spread her hands helplessly, "Growing up in this environment, one can always comprehend a bit more or less."

Yu Wenze pursed his lips, "Which part of yours is just a bit more or less."

Luo Ye leaned in mysteriously, "Professor Yu Wen, are you missing your wife?"

"You little girl, you just can’t stop worrying." Yu Wenze said with a serious expression, "Luo Ye, I have to thank you, truly thank you."

Luo Ye knew he was referring to Yue Lingqin’s matter, so she waved her hand, "That’s only natural. Senior Sister is actually a good person, having encountered something like this...I hope she can slowly recover."

After Yue Lingqin’s incident, she couldn’t take the blow and attempted suicide. Fortunately, she was found early and saved, but since then she had locked herself in her room, unwilling to see anyone.

Considering that she was also deceived by Yang Miao and wasn’t a malicious person, Luo Ye took her to recuperate at the nursing home.

There, she didn’t know anyone and had no connection to her original circle, which allowed her to truly calm down. The key was that the free area in the nursing home housed elders with rich experiences who had suffered hardships. Talking with them benefitted Yue Lingqin, and indeed, Luo Ye bet correctly. Yue Lingqin’s emotions have improved a lot recently, and it’s possible she will fully recover with time.

Yu Wenze hesitated for a moment, "Luo Ye, if Yang Miao is repatriated, do you know what the result will be?"

Luo Ye smiled bitterly, "Treason. What do you think the outcome will be?"

"What if I plead for him? Would it be any use?" Yu Wenze said with a somewhat desolate look, "I’ve mentored him for nearly ten years and am very aware of his talent in this field. He is an extraordinary genius and, given time, will not achieve less than I have.

But his path is partly my responsibility. After the incident, I went to see his mother and discovered the old woman was suffering from a costly illness.

I brought Yang Miao on as an assistant but didn’t care about his life outside of work. Yang Miao had no father growing up, and his mother raised him through hard work, forming a very deep bond with her.

I believe he surely struggled and would never have made such a choice if not forced. Unfortunately, I was too careless and didn’t notice any abnormalities, otherwise, this could have been entirely avoided.

Luo Ye, I truly don’t want to see such talent destroyed. I ask you, can you join me in helping him?"

Luo Ye sighed softly, "Professor Yu Wen, this shows that you are an emotional person. However, there’s something you might not know. Before coming to Sha City to assist you, he had already made an agreement with the Yodani Family. In that case, do you still want to help him?"

Yu Wenze frowned, "There must be some misunderstanding. Luo Ye, he’s not that kind of person. Trust me once, I’ve mentored him for ten years and would not have been mistaken."

"Professor Yu Wen, no matter how talented someone is, if there’s an issue with their morality..." Luo Ye stopped and didn’t continue.

"If you’re unwilling to help, forget it." Yu Wenze waved his hand and quickened his pace upward.

Luo Ye shook her head helplessly. She couldn’t have imagined that Professor Yu Wen, who seemed unemotional to others, was quite sentimental. She quickly caught up with Yu Wenze, "You mean, even if he signed an agreement with the Yodani Family before coming to you, you’ll still help him?"

Yu Wenze shook his head, "No, if things are truly as you say, then he must receive the punishment he deserves. I will help take care of his mother."

Luo Ye glanced at the time, "It’s now 10 AM. He will be escorted back around 11 o’clock. I’ll go discuss with Director Lei now, and you can meet Yang Miao once."

"Thank you!" Yu Wenze expressed his gratitude with a face full of joy.

Luo Ye looked at him speechlessly, "Really, you act like a child holding onto grievances, I’ll have to report you to your wife later!"

Yu Wenze raised his eyebrows proudly, "She likes me just as I am."

Luo Ye: "..."

...

As Luo Ye and Yu Wenze were about to reach Director Lei’s office, they bumped into Feng Xian coming their way, "Little Ye’er, rushing to see me? Are things progressing well with my brother?" As Feng Xian spoke, she reached out to pinch Luo Ye’s cheek, and Luo Ye dodged while helplessly saying, "Big sister, I’m begging you, please stop teasing me, okay?"

"I’m the second in the family, so I’m Second Sister. Little Ye’er, don’t call me wrong again." Saying this, she pushed Luo Ye towards Director Lei’s office, "Go quickly, I’ll wait for you outside."

"You don’t have to wait for me. This isn’t something I can finish in a short while." Luo Ye quickly said, no way, she needed to stay away from this sister, she was even more terrifying than Feng Tianzhi!

"Little Ye’er, you’re being disobedient. I’m just back from a mission, how can you treat me like this?" Feng Xian said as she plopped down on the corridor bench, "Go quickly. I’ll wait however long you take."

After taking a few steps, Yu Wenze couldn’t help but whisper to Luo Ye, "If she were a guy, I’d mistake her for your suitor."

Feng Xian had sharp ears and bounded next to Yu Wenze in just a few steps, "Sir, you’re onto something. My brother is Little Ye’er’s suitor, and I’m helping him."

"Oh, oh..." Yu Wenze replied mechanically, at a loss for words.

"Go on." Feng Xian waved her hand and sat back down.

Yu Wenze suddenly patted his head, "She’s Captain Feng Tianzhi’s sister?"

Luo Ye nodded, "You guessed right. Don’t you think they have similar personalities?"

"Indeed, they even look a bit alike."

As they talked, they reached Director Lei’s office. After knocking and entering, following a brief small talk, Director Lei had someone take Yu Wenze to see Yang Miao.

"Director Lei, if you’re keeping me to discuss matters of the Security Department and Information Center, skip it. I never intended to consider that." As soon as Yu Wenze left, seeing Director Lei’s intention for a long talk, Luo Ye immediately raised her hand to state.

"You!" Director Lei pointed at her with a smile and got up to take out an exquisite tea canister from the cabinet, "Here, reward yourself with some good tea."

Luo Ye quickly took the canister and sniffed it, "I’ll brew it, I can’t let the chief serve me. Hmm, this tea smells so nice, I like it."

"Knock, knock, knock..."

After the knock, Director Lei’s secretary came to report, "Commander, Lieutenant Feng Xian is requesting to see you."

"Let her in." Director Lei shook his head with a smile, "That girl, she’s like a bloodhound, drawn to the scent."

"Uncle Lei, you scold me, I’ll tell on you to Auntie!" Feng Xian joked with Director Lei as she playfully pinched Luo Ye’s cheek, "Little girl, thought you could hide here?"

Luo Ye pouted, "Second Sister, I’m not hiding from you. It’s just that Director Lei has something to discuss with me."

Director Lei laughed along, "Yes, I asked Little Ye’er for a chat. Xiao Xian, I understand your intentions. Listen to Uncle’s advice, better to dismantle ten temples than to ruin one marriage."

"If their feelings are genuine, how could I ruin their marriage? If it gets ruined, it just means they’re not suitable." Feng Xian retorted confidently.

"You child..." Director Lei pointed helplessly at her, "I wonder who can reign you in."

Feng Xian spread her hands, "Don’t say, I do have someone in mind. Unfortunately, the Ye Family snatched it away again. I’ve realized the Ye siblings are our nemesis." Suddenly moving closer to Luo Ye, "Little Ye’er, do you know what my brother did for you?"

Luo Ye shook her head while brewing tea, "I don’t know, and I don’t want to know."

Feng Xian feigned a sigh, "You ungrateful thing, my poor brother is so attentive to you, and you’re so oblivious. Ah, I truly feel for my brother."

"Have some tea." Luo Ye put a cup in front of her to silence her.

Feng Xian leaned her head closer to Luo Ye’s face, staring intently, "I say, does Little Ye’er really not want to know what my brother did?"

"If you’re talking about Ye Xuan appealing to return, I already know. I’ll thank him face-to-face when I see him."

Feng Xian waved her hands with a smile, "Not that, there’s something else too. Honestly, my brother is so amazing, my idol!"

Director Lei frowned, "Xiao Xian, listen to Uncle’s advice, don’t meddle in their affairs. I’m saying this not to protect Ye Xuan intentionally, but for the sake of addressing matters realistically.

There are too many obstacles between Feng Tianzhi and Ye’er. Prolonging this entanglement will only make it difficult for everyone. If you truly care for your brother, you should advise him, not blindly mess around, stirring trouble."
