In a Chinese coffee shop.
The main body of the café was made of wood. Although it was hard to tell what wood it was, it gave off an elegant and profound feeling.
The entire interior of the coffee shop was decorated with retro knitwear and some green plants, making the place look even more stylish.
Dong Xiaoxiao sat under the umbrella in the backyard of the café and waited. Soon, Le Xiao arrived.
He sat down across from her and carefully looked at her, but he still couldn't see anything. He could only directly ask, "Is he there?"
Dong Xiaoxiao looked at him and nodded. "Has anything happened to your family recently?" she asked subtly.
Le Xiao subconsciously revealed a surprised expression, then retracted her expression, and pretended nothing happened as she said indifferently: "Of course not, what will happen to my family? What about you? Did you encounter some problem? "
After a long silence, Ye Hanyi finally spoke. He used his usual tone to directly ask, "Did Ye Yuandao threaten you, or is it because of your Le family?"
"Ugh …" You already know. "
Le Xiao scratched his head. Since he already knew, there was no need for him to hide it from them. "Yes, my dad told me not to investigate this matter anymore. Otherwise, my family's business might be suppressed and I might not even be able to continue doing it."
Dong Xiao Xiao nodded her head. Indeed, Ye Hanyi's thoughts were correct. It was very likely that Tang Shirley had been threatened as well.
Just as he was thinking this, Shirley came over.
When she saw that everyone had gathered, Tang Shirley sat down in surprise and asked curiously, "Why are you all gathered together? Is there anything important to say? "
"Were you also threatened by Ye Yuandao? We've said it all. " Dong Xiaoxiao said straightforwardly.
"Yes, and so do I."
She could not help but smack the table and angrily said, "Isn't this Ye Yuandao too despicable!? We were all threatened by him. He was trying to restrict our movements and was determined not to let us continue the investigation. "
"So, what do you think?" Dong Xiaoxiao asked nervously. She was afraid that she didn't hear the answer she wanted.
Le Xiao also helped him and said, "Hanyi, don't give up and don't try to persuade us to give up. I'm your brother, even if you're not around anymore, I still want to find out the truth and let those people who did evil be punished as they deserve."
"Yeah." "How can we let good people die, while bad people live happily in this world?"
Although she still somewhat hated Dong Xiaoxiao and envied Han Yi for sharing a body with her, they all hoped that he would be good and not let the person who harmed him get away scot-free.
Even though they were all trying their best to persuade him, they all knew the result and understood Ye Hanyi. The things that he had decided on wouldn't change because of some people.
The outcome should have been predetermined.
Sure enough, Ye Hanyi's reply did not disappoint them. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely continue to investigate. For your sake, and also for my own, I asked how I could let go of my own matters and let you run errands for me in vain …" Furthermore, I have already promised you all before, so how can I go back on my word? "
Dong Xiaoxiao was surprised and happy when she heard this. Le Xiao and Tang Shirley also smiled. They could hear the anger and indifference in Ye Hanyi's voice and he would never change his mind.
Everyone was happy at this moment. Although Ye Yuanliao wanted to force them into a dead end, who knew if they would survive this?
"But I'm a bit tired, so I'll take a rest first." Ye Hanyi's voice sounded tired, and after he finished speaking, he no longer spoke.
Only Dong Xiaoxiao and the two of them were left at the scene.
Le Xiao seemed to be much more rational towards this matter. He continued to remind them, "Although we still have to follow up on the clues, Ye Yuandao also gave us a warning. This warning is indeed untouchable to us." "So we must not go head to head with him. We won't be able to beat him in a fight like this."
Le Xiao and Tang Shirley's parents both warned them to stay away from the Ye Group, so they could not brazenly continue their investigation in the future.
Dong Xiaoxiao and the others nodded in agreement with Le Xiao's words. Ye Yuandao had money and power now. Le Xiao and Tang Shirley, even if their family background was not bad, still couldn't compete with the Ye family.
Le Xiao also nodded. He clenched his fists and said, "We can only openly show that we've already given up on pursuing this matter, but we can still investigate in secret. We have to help Hanyi find some clues, after all, he's very important to every one of us."
"Well, let's all go back and rest for a while, so that we don't have to investigate too obviously." Dong Xiaoxiao said.
He glanced at Dong Xiaoxiao. Now that Han Yi was no longer around, Tang Shirley stood up and said, "Whatever you say is fine. I'm tired, so go back first. Just tell me after you guys have discussed it. I'll listen to whatever you say."
With that, she gave Dong Xiaoxiao a look before turning and leaving.
Dong Xiaoxiao didn't care much about it. After all, she was already used to Tang Shirley's personality. Previously, she had even regarded her as a love rival.
Dong Xiaoxiao left after bidding farewell.
At this moment, the situation had reached a low point. They had gone from being pleasantly surprised by Ye Hanyi to feeling dejected. However, they did not plan to give up. Instead, they decided to turn dark from the light. Everything was happening in secret.
On the surface, they had cut off all contact with Dong Xiaoxiao and returned to their own lives, as if nothing had happened.
But in fact, in the dark, they meet once a week in secret to share their new gains.
Just like this, the unsteady days went on for a long time, but none of them managed to break through. It was like a deep pool of water with no end in sight, but there was nothing they could do. They continued to live quietly.
Dong Xiaoxiao started to live her regular life again. Every day, after class and doing academic work, she felt like an ordinary person again.
She began to miss this feeling a little, as if it had been a long time since she had such a relaxed time. Ever since she met Ye Hanyi, her original life seemed to have changed, as did her own.
Now that he had returned to his original self, he suddenly realized that being an ordinary person was also a happy thing.
Even if she talked to Ye Hanyi every day, only the two of them could hear her.
Dong Xiaoxiao began to fall a little in love with this life.
She thought back to her previous experiences with Ye Hanyi and his extraordinary happiness. It was also a period of joy and a period of cherished memory.
