Hostage

  The dim light seemed to have also spread to Renbo's eyes, like the dark night sky, calm and transcendent. He spoke softly after hearing this, "Suye is your daughter, we are all family, I should take care of her."

  "It's Ye Ye." Ye He Feng emphasized her name.

  Nian Baiyan glanced at Ye He Feng, the old man in front of him with white temples and a twilight years, who was once famous in the jewelry retail industry. He had his successes, of course, also had his failures, but at least until now still maintained the dignity and momentum of an entrepreneur, naturally, he also had his helplessness, just like this moment. After thinking for a while, picked up the cup and took a light sip of tea, said, "Wanting her to accept this name, I'm afraid it will take some time."

  "She can't accept that she has Ye family's blood flowing through her body, but whether she accepts it or not, she has to accept it." Ye He Feng's attitude became stubborn.

  Nian Baiyan smiled faintly, his face pale and serene.

  Ye He Feng let out a light sigh and also picked up his tea cup to take a sip of tea. When he put it down again, his tone was heavy, "I understand that girl, I owe her and her mother."

  There is something cruel in this world, that is memory, and there is also something happy, which is also memory. Memories are the most precious part of a person's growth process, but Nian Boyan rarely recalls memories. From his understanding to school and then to work, he has been a master at planning his life accurately, so every step has been solid without leaving any regrets. An economic crisis swept away the Nian family, taking away his parents, leaving only him and his younger brother dependent on each other for survival. If it can be said that his memories are tinged with sadness, then it is only that period of time. Therefore, he does not want to recall too much, because recalling too many memories means you just want to indulge in the past, you have lost control over reality, and even more so, you have compromised with reality.

  Ye He Feng compromised with reality because of that most troublesome daughter of his. The phrase "pitiful parents" is indeed not an exaggeration.

  Nian Baiyan chose silence; at this moment, anything he said would be superfluous.

  It seems that Ye He Feng really couldn't hold it in anymore, and continued, "Back then, I was one of the first batch of university students after China's liberation. Dissatisfied with the arranged marriage set up by my family, I chose to go down to the countryside, where I met Ye Ye's mother, Su Qiu. At that time, people were conservative, even if we had feelings for each other, we didn't dare say it out loud. It wasn't until I returned to the city and she personally came to see me off at the train station that I vowed to marry this woman and bring her back to the Ye family. After returning to the city, the elders of the Ye family put pressure on me, wanting me to marry Ye Yu's mother, Ruan Xue Man, as a daughter-in-law, because the Ye and Ruan families were considered noble families with good relations. During that time, I was depressed and drank every day. One day when I woke up, I found that the person lying beside me was Xue Man." He said to this point, shook his head and smiled, looking at Nian Baiyan, "Guess what happened next?"

  Nian Baiyan seemed to have seen that distant era, when China was like an old yellowed photograph, the people in it were dressed simply, the days were bitter but their hearts were sweet. He had also heard his father mention that era more than once, each time bringing up fond memories. However, Ye Hefeng's memories of that time were filled with thorns and regret.

  "I'd like to hear more about it." He poured a cup of tea.

  Ye He Feng self-deprecatingly said, "I was so scared at the time that I almost escaped from the Ye family. At that time, I didn't know what to do, but I felt sorry for Su Qiu, and ran all the way back to the countryside to find her. The first thing I said was that I wanted her to marry me. A month later, we had a wedding in the countryside, and Su Qiu's relatives were not many, only her younger brother Su Dong who lived far away in Beijing. But we didn't care, just thinking that as long as the two of us were together, it would be fine. However, good times don't last, and my family sent a letter saying that my father was seriously ill and asked me to return home. When I returned, I only found out that my father's illness was just an excuse, and Xue Man was pregnant. The child was conceived on the night I got drunk. I refused to marry Xue Man, and it was impossible for me to divorce Su Qiu. At that time, things were very unpleasant with the Ye family, and in a fit of anger, I brought Su Qiu from the countryside to Beijing. Because at that time, Su Qiu was also pregnant, she was temporarily settled in Su Dong's house. Su Qiu didn't know about Xue Man's situation, and I didn't want to tell her either. Privately, I wanted to compensate Xue Man and hoped that she could have an abortion. At the time, Xue Man didn't say anything and just left. I thought this matter was finally over until a month after Ye Ye was born, when Xue Man and the elder of the Ye family appeared in front of me and Su Qiu with a pair of dragon and phoenix twins. The elder's intention was that Xue Man had given birth to a son and daughter for the Ye family, and I must acknowledge Xue Man.

  He paused for a moment, and his smile revealed a hint of helplessness.

  "Suxiu usually spoke softly and gently in everyday life, but she was very stubborn at heart. She didn't say a word and took Ye Ye away with her. In the following years, I also tried to ask for her forgiveness and thought about bringing Ye Ye back to the Ye family, but unfortunately Suxiu refused to forgive me and even changed the child's surname to her mother's."

  "Suye's personality is similar to Aunt Sua." said Nian Boyan.

  Ye He Feng nodded, "Yes, that child has a lot on her mind. Because I didn't make it to her mother's bedside before she passed away, she's been resenting me all these years. Her gaze is enough to kill me, and when she talks to me, it's as if she wants to suffocate me to death. I know that for many years, I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a father, so Su Jia has always disliked me. All the living expenses and tuition fees I've sent to Ye Ye over the years have been returned to me."

  "Along with that, she also disliked Ye Yu." Nian Baiyan thought of Su Ye's attitude that day, as if she had swallowed Ye Yu whole.

  "Can't you just not dislike her? If it weren't for Ye Yu and Ye Yuan, she wouldn't be able to wander around outside like a wild child all the time. She should live like a princess instead." Ye He Feng's eyes were slightly moist, and he let out a deep sigh at the end. "Bai Yan, logically speaking, I shouldn't have dragged you into this. This is after all my own foolish doing back then. But now that Ye Ye has agreed to go back to work at Jing Shi, it's all thanks to your efforts. She wouldn't listen to me as her father, and she won't acknowledge her siblings either. So I can only ask you to take care of her a bit more. Su Qiu left early, and she doesn't have many relatives in this world. I hope that through you, she can forgive me as her father."

  Nian Baiyan could hear Ye He Feng's sincere words, nodded and said "I will take care of her."

  Ye He Feng let out a sigh of relief. He knew that Nian Bo Yan had always been a man of his word and would definitely follow through on anything he promised.

  The tea fragrance has cooled down, floating in the night colors.

  The two of them stopped talking and silently sipped their tea. Especially Ye He Feng, as he smelled the fragrance of the tea, his thoughts drifted away with it, gradually settling into a scene of red leaves dancing in the sky. The crimson leaves dyed the girl's cheeks red, her black hair, white dress, like a beautiful landscape painting that left him unforgettable for life. He had written their names together countless times, softly telling her, "One leaf knows autumn." The girl blushed and ran away covering her face.

  As the train slowly started moving, he watched her run alongside it for a long time. Her originally pale cheeks were also flushed red from the urgent running. At that moment, he so much wanted to hold her hand...

  Ye He Feng closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the tea fragrance, as if it were a hint of subtle fragrance on her body.

  I am the dividing line little girl

  Beijing Capital International Airport

  Hundreds of planes take off and land, the airport hall is crowded with people rushing to and fro, some are entering Beijing, some are leaving Beijing, either triumphant or disheartened. This place condenses the shadows of too many people: financiers, wealthy businessmen from various countries, public welfare workers, actors, employees, housewives, etc., each searching for their own survival goals.

  In the departure hall, a carefree woman stood out from the hustle and bustle around her. She had a neat and clean bobbed hair, clean skin, and a crisp white dress, even her luggage was spotless, with only a small handbag by her side. Most people rushed past her, either taking buses or hailing taxis, but she alone stepped out of the hall, looked up at the sky, furrowed her brow, and cursed the smoggy weather.

  On the other side of the airport, several police cars were waiting at any moment.

  Today Su Kei was dressed in a police uniform, exuding an air of authority and seriousness. He narrowed his eyes and stared fixedly at the direction of the arrival hall. Soon, the walkie-talkie crackled to life: "Boss, the turtle has emerged, just got off the plane, now heading towards the arrival hall."

  "Keep staring, and you'll be arrested as soon as you step out of the hall." Su Kei's face was stern.

  "Yes." The subordinate acknowledged the order and immediately shouted, "Boss, 12 o'clock direction!"

  Su Ke's eyes narrowed as he looked back, and with a single order, "Action!"

  Right behind not far away started to have **, the plainclothes who had been lurking for a long time took action one after another, and surrounded a man wearing a duck tongue hat and sunglasses. The suspect known as "Turtle" was no ordinary person either, and he had already smelled the airport's alertness, so he ran away immediately.

  Su Ke hurriedly got out of the police car to intercept, the turtle did not expect that there would be a police car blocking the way again, and it was too late to change direction. Su Ke rushed forward with three steps and two steps, tripped the suspect with a sweep of his leg, and subdued him with a fierce grappling hand, the suspect cried out in pain and tried to struggle free.

  "Be honest with me!" Su Kai was never polite to suspects, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and he coldly shouted.

  The turtle wasn't going to go down without a fight either. It first stopped struggling, but just as Su Kai was about to cuff it, it suddenly sprang into action, causing the people around them to gasp in shock. Su Kai's face turned stern, and he was about to make another grab for it when the turtle snatched a woman who happened to be passing by, and then pressed a handgun against her temple.

  "You can't escape now, put down your gun!" Su Ke's voice was cold and calm as he drew his gun and aimed it directly at the suspect.

  Several plainclothes police officers rushed over and surrounded the suspect, drawing their guns.

  The woman's pear flower hair was messed up by the suspect, she stared at the scene in front of her in shock, her eyes wide open, for a moment it seemed like she hadn't reacted yet, and all she could see was a tall and powerful man wearing a police uniform with an air of elegance pointing at this side.

  "One more step forward and I won't be polite!" The suspect viciously shouted, the gun muzzle pressed harder against the woman's forehead, causing her face to contort in pain.

  Su Ke let out a loud roar, "Everyone else, scatter!"

  One sentence made the crowd around like scattered birds, outside the hall, there were only police and suspects confronting each other, and also, one hostage!
