At that moment, Si Yehan, who had heard the odd noise coming from the cell, opened the cell door and entered.
After seeing the lifeless Nie Linglong, his gaze landed on Ye Wanwan.
Ye Wanwan looked like she was a crazed, bloodthirsty demon who had climbed out from the pits of h.e.l.l. Her bone-chilling gaze caused Si Yehan's heart to ache immensely.
Si Yehan walked toward Ye Wanwan immediately, gently pulling her into his arms.
"Ah-Jiu…"
Ye Wanwan deeply burrowed her head in his arms. Si Yehan could feel her tears soaking his s.h.i.+rt.
"Mm," Si Yehan quietly replied.
"Ah-Jiu… I… I miss my brother… I miss him.."
A second later, Ye Wanwan tightly hugged Si Yehan, trembling in his arms slightly.
"He was… your mightiest hero," Si Yehan softly whispered.
…
At Asura, Tangtang and Si Yehan kept Ye Wanwan company without leaving her for a second. After several days, Ye Wanwan's mood finally improved.
That same day, Ye Wanwan returned to the Nie residence.
The Nie family had been cleansed entirely, and the power of all the higher-ups who partic.i.p.ated in Ye Wanwan and Nameless Nie's attempted murder had been handed to her Second Great Uncle, the Nie family's First Elder.
Ye Wanwan didn't expect her Second Great Uncle to act so swiftly or eliminate all of the borers in the Nie family in such a short amount of time.
"Worriless, actually… this had nothing to do with me."
Second Great Uncle sighed.
Ye Wanwan frowned, unable to understand him.
"It was only these two days that I learned… In truth, when your elder brother returned that day, he swiftly and decisively took care of all those higher-ups and elders… and also withdrew all of their power," Second Great Uncle explained.
"It was Brother, was it…?"
Ye Wanwan's lips turned up in a bitter smile.
That's right, it was my brother again…
That day, he hastily left the hospital, saying something about accepting a big job…
Ah, her elder brother… was a liar… a giant liar… from head to toe…
…
On the rear mountain of the Nie residence, there was a burial mound.
As the sun set in the west, it scattered golden yellow rays on this spot, creating a warm environment.
Ye Wanwan held up two jugs of liquor as she sat in front of the grave.
"Brother, this is your favorite liquor…"
An indescribable smile hung on Ye Wanwan's lips as she downed the jug of liquor in one go before pouring the other jug on the ground.
"Brother, does it taste good?" Ye Wanwan murmured softly.
"Brother, here's your other favorite thing…"
Ye Wanwan picked up a brick of gold and buried it in the ground.
Soon, the liquor hit her and a crazy smile appeared on her face as she sat in her spot.
Involuntarily, the scene of her first meeting with Nameless Nie back in China surfaced in her mind, along with the dribs and drabs that followed.
Nameless Nie made her temporarily act as Tangtang's Mommy and shoved Tangtang into her care. Then, he partic.i.p.ated in some mission completion reality show and sent a TV, a fridge, and the other household appliances he won to her as Tangtang's living expenses, which eventually led to him being banned from all the mission completion shows…
In her state of sobriety and intoxication, two streams of tears slid down her face. "Brother… if there's a next life, I still want to be your sister… and I hope you'll be my brother still… But in the next life… I'll be the one to protect you. Whoever dares to bully you… I'll stand up for you and beat them black and blue."
"Brother… you are… the mightiest superhero… in my heart."
