Chapter 87

Due to the sudden and heinous murder case, a large number of police and armed police conducted a thorough search of the Feilai Peak scenic area, forcing tourists to leave the area early.

"Sir, the police outside are urging again. Why don't you come back another day to make your wishes?" In the Daxiongbaodian Hall of Lingyin Temple, the monk responsible for handing out incense to tourists looked at Su Yuxin, Su Liuli, and Su Jindi with some difficulty.

Originally, the temple welcomed these tourists who spent money to make wishes, but under police pressure, the temple abbot had to compromise. Now, under the police's urging, all other tourists had gone down the mountain, except for Su Yuxin and her two companions who insisted on making their wishes before leaving.

"Master, please talk to the police again. We will go down the mountain after we make our wishes; it will be quick," Su Yuxin said apologetically.

"Alright." The monk nodded helplessly and turned to walk out of the hall.

"Yuxin, it's been so long since Ye Fan called. Could something have happened?" As the monk walked out of the hall, Su Liuli couldn't help but ask.

The reason they hadn't left was that making wishes was just an excuse. Their real intention was to wait for Ye Fan at Lingyin Temple—according to Su Jindi, with Ye Fan's strength, dealing with the people who kidnapped Situ Ruoshui would be easy, and he could rescue her without leaving the scenic area!

"Relax, Brother Ye will be fine!" Although Ye Fan had not returned, Su Jindi still had absolute confidence in him, remembering how he had vanished without a trace during his sparring with Zhu Gang, a member of the Yanhuang organization, which was even more exaggerated than in movies.

"I think Doctor Ye might be ensuring that Situ Ruoshui is safe and waiting for the best moment to act." Su Yuxin thought for a moment and said, "Let's make our wishes. After that, we'll go down the mountain to wait for him."

As she spoke, Su Yuxin turned around, and her usually cold face showed a hint of worry.

With this worry, she slowly approached, took three sticks of incense, lit them, and inserted them into the incense burner.

Seeing this, Su Liuli silently followed, doing the same as Su Yuxin, while Su Jindi, who didn't believe in ghosts or gods, stood far behind.

"Yuxin prays to the Buddha to protect Doctor Ye, to help him rescue Situ Ruoshui and return safely!" After offering the incense, Su Yuxin knelt on the mat, looking at the statue of Sakyamuni with a pleading gaze, and whispered her wish.

Could... could Yuxin really have fallen in love with Ye Fan?

Hearing Su Yuxin's wish, Su Liuli was slightly stunned, her hands holding the incense frozen in the air, a doubt arising in her heart.

With this doubt, Su Yuxin turned her head and saw Su Yuxin, after making her wish, bowing devoutly with great force, her forehead turning red from the impact.

Seeing this, a voice in Su Liuli's heart told her: If Su Yuxin hadn't fallen in love with Ye Fan, she wouldn't have done this.

This voice brought a strange feeling to Su Liuli, making her chest feel heavy.

A little later, after Su Yuxin finished her wish and stood up, Su Liuli inserted the incense in her hand into the incense burner, turned to the mat, knelt down, and slowly raised her head to look at the golden Buddha statue.

The moment Su Liuli's gaze met the Buddha statue, she felt that the world's noise instantly disappeared, and her heart became as clear as crystal, without any blemish.

In a daze, she seemed to see the Buddha statue slowly open its eyes and ask her: What wish do you have that I can help you fulfill?

"Liuli wants the Buddha to protect Ye Fan and keep him safe."

A wish involuntarily arose in Su Liuli's heart, and the image of Ye Fan, whom she once found extremely annoying, flashed in her mind. Her heart, which had been clear, now rippled.

This made her eyes become clearer, and the Buddha statue in her eyes no longer seemed as vivid as before.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry to disturb you, but a murder case occurred at Lingyin Temple earlier. According to the monks, the criminal killed eight people and kidnapped a girl."

At the same time, a police officer entered the hall and said seriously, "Currently, the police and armed police are conducting a thorough search of the scenic area. For your safety, please go down the mountain immediately."

"Liuli, have you finished your wish?" Seeing the police officer come to persuade them, Su Yuxin asked Su Liuli.

"Done!"

Perhaps because of the sudden arrival of the police, or because of the strange wish she made for the Buddha to protect Ye Fan, Su Liuli's heart could no longer be calm, and she stood up.

"Then let's go." Su Yuxin said and then added to the police officer, "Sorry for the inconvenience."

"Thank you for your cooperation." The police officer, without the mood to be polite, left the Daxiongbaodian Hall with a serious expression.

"Buzz... buzz..."

A little later, as Su Yuxin, Su Liuli, and Su Jindi walked out of the Daxiongbaodian Hall, the sound of a vibrating phone suddenly rang.

"Sister, your phone is ringing. Check if it's Brother Ye!" Su Jindi, with her sharp ears, immediately recognized that it was Su Yuxin's phone vibrating.

Hearing this, Su Yuxin's slightly worried face showed a hint of excitement. Without a word, she quickly opened her bag and took out her phone.

"It's Doctor Ye!"

Seeing the caller ID was Ye Fan, Su Yuxin's voice became even more excited, and she quickly pressed the answer button and asked, "Doctor Ye, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I've already rescued Situ Ruoshui and handed her over to her family. Where are you?" On the other end of the phone, Ye Fan, wearing the clothes of one of Situ Chen's bodyguards, had left the West Lake Club.

Hearing that Ye Fan was fine and had rescued Situ Ruoshui, Su Yuxin's tense nerves relaxed, and she let out a deep breath before saying, "We're still at Lingyin Temple, about to go down the mountain. Where are you?"

"I'll wait for you at the entrance of the West Lake scenic area." Ye Fan thought for a moment and said.

"Okay!"

Su Yuxin quickly agreed, then hung up the phone, looked around, and, seeing no one else, lowered her voice and said, "Doctor Ye successfully rescued Situ Ruoshui and handed her over to her family. He's waiting for us at the entrance of the West Lake scenic area."

"I told you, those three guys might seem tough, but they're nothing compared to Brother Ye!" Su Jindi patted his chest proudly, as if he were talking about himself rather than Ye Fan.

Is this guy really a martial arts expert?

Su Liuli was somewhat stunned, but also secretly relieved.

Why did I suddenly ask the Buddha to protect him?

After putting her mind at ease, Su Liuli thought about the scene that seemed like a dream and felt a strange sense of guilt. She then said calmly, "Let's go, so the police don't come and chase us again!"

Hearing this, Su Yuxin and Su Jindi didn't say anything more and quickly followed Su Liuli out of Lingyin Temple.

Dead scoundrel, the reason I asked the Buddha to protect you is, first, to help you rescue Situ Ruoshui, and second, I don't want to see Yuxin sad. Most importantly, I'm afraid that if you die, no one will be able to treat Yuxin, and...

In the sunlight, Su Liuli walked out of the temple, finding excuses for her actions, not sure what she was trying to hide.

But—

No matter how hard she tried, that dreamlike scene was deeply etched in her mind.

...

Half an hour later.

Situ Chen's Rolls-Royce Phantom drove into the Jiuxi Rose Garden and stopped in front of Liu Tianjun's villa.

"Father!"

"Brother!"

Seeing Situ Chen and Situ Ruoshui get out of the car, Situ Haotian and Liu Tianjun rushed over. Situ Haotian's heart was in his throat, completely filled with worry.

Yes...

It was worry!

On one hand, he was worried that Situ Chen might have learned the truth about his and Xiao Jiu's cowardly retreat from Ye Fan. On the other hand, he was worried that Situ Ruoshui might have seen that scene!

Either of these situations would be his nightmare!

"Is your arm okay?"

A little later, just as Situ Haotian was extremely nervous, Situ Chen asked with some concern.

"Phew~" Hearing this, Situ Haotian secretly let out a deep breath and shook his head vigorously. "Father, I'm fine!"

"Xiao Jiu, how about you?" Situ Chen then looked at Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu also felt relieved and answered irrelevantly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Situ, I failed to protect Miss Ruoshui and Master Haotian!"

With that, Xiao Jiu bowed deeply to Situ Chen.

"I'm sorry, Ruoshui, I'm useless!" Situ Haotian also said apologetically to Situ Ruoshui.

"It's not your fault!" Before Situ Ruoshui could speak, Situ Chen waved his hand and then said to Liu Tianjun with a murderous look, "Tianjun, I'll take Ruoshui and Haotian back to Donghai first. You handle the aftermath and remember to give Nan Qinghong a big gift tonight!"

"Brother, please rest assured. I know what to do!" Liu Tianjun clenched his fists, eager to grab his machete and massacre Nan Qinghong's Hanghu branch.

Hearing this, Situ Chen said no more and left with Situ Ruoshui and Situ Haotian.

Twenty minutes later, the convoy passed through the highway toll gate and headed for Donghai.

"Brother Ye Fan, will we meet again?"

Looking at the gradually disappearing Hanghu city, Situ Ruoshui's delicate face was full of longing.
