Chapter 809: She Says She’s His Mom
Ye Fan pushed the door open and stepped out. Although the poison in his blood had been purged, his face remained pale, and his body felt a bit weak.Zhang Lu and Fu Huixia watched Ye Fan and saw that he was fine, their joy overwhelming them as they rushed to his side.
"Are you alright now?" Fu Huixia asked cautiously, testing the waters.
Even though Ye Fan appeared as if nothing had happened, she still felt uneasy until she received Ye Fan’s confirmation.
"It’s no longer a serious problem," Ye Fan said blandly.
"That’s good," Fu Huixia said with relief, feeling like a great weight had been lifted from her heart.
"I need to discuss something with you," Zhang Lu spoke.
Ye Fan nodded, and the two of them entered the lounge together, while Fu Huixia did not follow. She understood that there were some confidential matters she was not yet authorized to know, so she tactfully stayed away.
"Dai Anping committed suicide. The second-in-command of the Dai Family, who allowed Dai Zhanpeng to cause trouble at the base, also committed suicide. The threat from the Dai Family has been completely neutralized, so you don’t need to worry about this anymore," Zhang Lu said directly.
"Hmm." Ye Fan responded softly, feeling slightly surprised by Fu Lao’s swift and decisive actions.
"Any potential threats that might expose your identity have been completely eliminated. You don’t have to worry about the threats that might come with your identity being exposed," Zhang Lu promised confidently.
"That’s good. I’m confident in your ability to handle things," Ye Fan murmured. He wasn’t afraid of his identity being leaked, but now was not the right time. Once his identity was exposed without sufficient preparation, it could be dangerous.
"Fu Lao initially intended to personally apologize to you. After all, Dai Zhanpeng’s actions were due to oversight by the organization, leading to the occurrence of such events. But after careful consideration, Fu Lao decided not to disturb you and asked me to convey his apologies on his behalf," Zhang Lu said earnestly.
"You’ve already done enough. Fu Lao faced difficulties in keeping my identity a secret," Ye Fan said truthfully.
Fu Lao’s tactics against the Dai Family showed the magnitude of Fu Lao’s decisions, sacrificing such important figures just to protect his identity. Ye Fan understood the consideration and sincerity.
"Your words will bring Fu Lao peace of mind, and he won’t worry about you holding a grudge," Zhang Lu said seriously, then added with resignation, "The person who poisoned you is Chi Qinyuan."
"How could it be her?" Ye Fan was certainly familiar with Chi Qinyuan.
"Haven’t you carried out eight missions in Huaxia? One of them was against the Chi Family. Under tremendous pressure, Chi Qinyuan’s father ended up heavily in debt and committed suicide. So, Chi Qinyuan placed all the blame on you. It wasn’t until Dai Zhanpeng disclosed your identity to Chi Qinyuan that..." Zhang Lu spoke ambiguously, but she trusted Ye Fan understood.
"There’s such a connection. Is this my own doing?" Ye Fan mocked himself coldly.
He also understood that Fu Lao had chosen Chi Qinyuan as one of the trainees, probably hoping to persuade Chi Qinyuan to let go of her vengeful obsession.
Unfortunately, Chi Qinyuan still went ahead and did something Fu Lao had not wanted to see.
Ye Fan didn’t dwell on the matter, and his initial intent to track down the culprit behind the poisoning dissipated.
There are causes and effects. Since there’s past enmity, what happened now is also logical.
"Chi Qinyuan regretted it afterward and turned herself in. I’ve already detained her. As for how to handle the matter, it depends on what you think," Zhang Lu said.
Ye Fan pondered for a moment before speaking, "Leave it to you then. If you’re confident, you can set Chi Qinyuan free immediately. If you’re not, perhaps detain her for a while. I think my identity will soon be revealed to the world, and by then, there’s no need to hide anything. It won’t be too late to give Chi Qinyuan her freedom then."
"Your words put me at ease. I’ll handle it," Zhang Lu said, her tone relaxed.
After discussing business, Zhang Lu shifted the topic to personal matters, and with concern, she asked, "Is your health truly alright? You look pale. Should you rest for a few days and properly recuperate?"
"A half-day rest will suffice. Time waits for no one, and Mengyao is still waiting for me to deal with things there. So, before that, I have to fulfill the instructor’s task," Ye Fan affirmed.
"You encountered such a serious poisoning incident, and you won’t tell Mengyao?" Zhang Lu pressed on. She had no criticism of Ye Fan’s decision.
"Since I’m already fine, there’s no need to make Mengyao worry unnecessarily," Ye Fan responded softly.
"There’s a saying that a mother worries even if her child is far away, and when a son is away, he hides his worries so his mother won’t worry. But Mengyao is your lover, not your mother, so why keep the idea of hiding worries and only sharing good news? You’re being such a typical male chauvinist, and you should respect Mengyao. Mengyao has the right to know your situation, and it’s the most basic respect and trust for a lover. If you only think of not worrying Mengyao, you’re far from being a man," Zhang Lu lectured firmly.
"How can you say that?"
"If it weren’t for our close relationship, I would’ve gotten angry a long time ago."
"Is Mengyao my mom? Can such jokes be made randomly?"
"I see you’re just itching for trouble."
Ye Fan looked at Zhang Lu angrily, staring hard.
"That’s the point. So what? Do you feel like hitting me? If you have the guts, come at me," Zhang Lu retorted defiantly, a grin spreading across her face like a crescent moon.
"Get lost!" Ye Fan held back for a long time and finally shouted out this word.
"#@￥%...&@" Zhang Lu hummed a tune and walked away with her head held high.
"..." Ye Fan fumed silently, lost for words.
"However, Zhang Lu’s words made sense. Between Mengyao and me, we really should share both joys and sorrows. Only speaking of good things and keeping bad ones inside might seem to be for the other’s benefit, but that’s actually a form of male chauvinism." Ye Fan thought a bit and started pondering over the matter.
After thorough contemplation, he increasingly realized that what Zhang Lu said was correct.
All this time, he hadn’t mentioned his unpleasant past to Mengyao, fearing it would impose his unhappiness on others. Keeping it bottled inside wasn’t a healthy approach.
And Mengyao had already shared her harsh childhood memories with him.
But as for him, he had kept everything under wraps with the mindset of doing it for Mengyao’s good.
"Being honest with each other is the way for Mengyao and me. In this regard, I haven’t done enough," Ye Fan thought deeply, and his viewpoints began to change.
With this in mind, he dialed her up on video.
Outside of Ye Fan’s expectations, Zhang Lu’s words deeply impacted him.
