Qie Yiyan continued to dissuade Ye Tianxin even though she was adamant. “If you take all of these at the same time, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle them. It is too stressful for you.”

Ye Tianxin refused to take no for an answer.

She had already decided on something, and she did not want to give up so easily.

Sometimes, it was not good to give up so quickly. It might become a habit or an excuse not to do something.

She never intended on giving up as far as people or her studies were concerned.

“Yiyan, I have already decided. if you don’t agree, I will ask my dad to talk to you tomorrow. It’s late already, you should rest early. Good night.”

Ye Tianxin hung up the phone.

She told herself she must become stronger.

She would study hard.

She wanted to give all she had and push her limits.

She would enroll in the National Defense Military Academy, regardless of what people said.

Qie Yiyan put down the phone and turned to look at Xie Xinghe. He was equally concerned and worried about Li Qingcang’s disappearance. “XInghe, is there still no progress in the investigation? Do we still have no news on Qingcang?”

Xie XInghe shook his head. “No.”

He would not look so glum if he had news of Li Qingcang.

On hearing that, Qie Yiyan started to feel anxious. “I’m worried about Tianxin. She may not be able to take the stress anymore. She’s already so upset now. I’m afraid something may happen to her even before we get any news of Qingcang.”

“I know how Tianxin is like. I’ll ask Uncle Xuning to watch over her more closely.”

Xie Xinghe had been very busy investigating Li Qingcang’s disappearance these days.

He was analyzing every single detail in the lab.

He thought that Li Qingcang might have been injured during the explosion, but he would’ve contacted them if that were the case.

Still, if he was really wounded, he would need to be treated.

However, there was no information about him at all in the capital.

Why did Li Qingcang not contact them? Was there some special reason?

“Qingcang had always been very careful. Logically, this should not happen.”

Qie Yiyan was using his free time to help Xie Xinghe.

“Uncle Xuning and I agreed that no news is good news.”

As of now, they would still regard Li Qingcang as missing.

If there was no other clue, it meant that he was still alive.

They still had hope.

“Yiyan, come over here and take a look…”

Xie Xinghe found something from the documents retrieved from the laboratory.

Qie Yiyan went over and studied the documents carefully with Xie Xinghe.

Three days later, there was still no news of Li Qingcang.

Even Xie Xuning and Xie Xinghe, who were normally very calm, were getting more unsettled and impatient.

Ye Tianxin stood at the nameless tombstone by herself. She started crying while staring at the empty tomb.

The wind was blowing against her face. Her hair flew lightly along with the breeze. The flowers were starting to bloom as spring was near.

“Jin, will your father be all right?”

“Jin, you are the best. Please tell Mommy that Daddy is all right.”

Ye Tianxin placed her hands on her face. Tears streamed down her face, trickling between her fingers.

She was afraid that… Li Qingcang would no longer be a part of her life.

She was afraid of her life with Jin.

She was fearful that her life would be filled with darkness. She was about to give up all hope.

As she knelt in front of the tomb, her phone suddenly rang.

Ye Tianxin hurriedly answered it.

“Hello?”

She could hear the heavy breathing of a man on the other end of the phone.

“Is that you, Qingcang?”

“No, this is Gu Yancheng.”

Ye Tianxin was disappointed to hear Gu Yancheng’s voice.
