But as time came to a standstill, countless thoughts entered her mind.

  Yun Shishi could not help but recall everything that had happened between her and Gu Xingze. Scenes flashed across her mind like a revolving lantern.

  Unknowingly, her eyes turned red.

  He said that he was leaving for America permanently.

  In other words, tonight would be their last meeting.

  She actually felt a little wistful.

  Just as she was deep in thought, her phone rang again.

  She picked up the call thinking it was a call from Gu Xingze, but unexpectedly, it was a video call from Gong Jie.

  Startled, she checked the time. It was late. Why would he be calling at this hour?

  On second thoughts, given the time difference, it was probably still daytime where Xiao Jie was.

  Perhaps something had happened.

  She picked up the video call. Gong Jie’s handsome face appeared on the screen, however his expression was very serious and even a little nervous.

  “Xiao Jie, what’s wrong? Why do you look so anxious?”


  Gong Jie skipped the small talk and went straight to the point. “Sister, Uncle is able to speak now!”


  Stunned, Yun Shishi stood up abruptly. “You’re saying…… Dad can speak now?!”


  “Yes!”


  Although Gong Jie was also deeply encouraged, he frowned as he said, “Although I told him that it’s not been an easy recovery, so he has to take care of himself, but he insists on talking to you.”


  “Absolutely not.”


  Yun Shishi said resolutely, “He shouldn’t be trying to talk right after his vocal cords have recovered! Let’s talk after he fully recovers!”


  “I tried to persuade him, but Uncle wouldn’t listen!”


  Gong Jie said solemnly, “Sister, why don’t you try talking Uncle round instead. Perhaps your words will be more convincing!”


  “Alright, it’s probably good that I see him anyway.”


  Likewise, Yun Shishi missed him.

  Gong Jie fixed the video and quickly sent someone to bring Yun Yecheng in a wheelchair.

  Just as Yun Yecheng’s image moved into the screen, Gong Jie gently said a few words to him. Yun Yecheng immediately understood and looked at the phone. He knew that on the other side of the phone was his beloved daughter. When he opened his mouth, his voice was unbelievably hoarse. “Shishi! Dad has given you a tough time!”


  “Dad……”


  Yun Shishi furrowed her brows as tears welled up in her eyes. She immediately said, “Dad, don’t talk too much! It hasn’t been an easy recovery for your vocal cords, so don’t be in a hurry to speak……”


  “Beware of your sister!” Yun Yecheng ignored her advice as he held onto the wheelchair and uttered these few words with difficulty.

  Yun Shishi was stunned.

  “Sister?”


  “Beware…… Yun Na! She…… is alive!”


  His voice was as rough as gravel despite his efforts, but she understood what he was trying to say!

  “Yun Na…… She’s not dead? Dad, how do you know?!”


  “Because…… that night…… the person who attacked me…… was…… her!”


  Yun Yecheng seemed to have come up with a plan as he said agitatedly, “She…… destroyed me…… with sulfuric acid…… She will definitely…… look for you…… You must…… be careful……”


  Yun Shishi’s face turned pale as sheet as her lips quivered.

  “How…… how is this possible? How could she do such a cruel thing to you!?”


  Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly sensed a car slowly approaching from behind.
