He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

Chapter 163 Why Did We Come?

Jiang Yanhui's relaxed brows furrowed instantly, while Ye Zhenghao turned around immediately and saw Siyi standing not far away with a solemn expression. However, the moment he saw the man opposite him, a clear sense of relief flashed across his brows.

She came looking for Jiang Yan!

Ye Zhenghao took in the emotions between her brows and saw through Siyi's thoughts perfectly.

His heart sank, and he was naturally unhappy, especially at this time. Why did she come here instead of at the hospital? Was Jiang Yanhui really that important to her?

"Siyi, what are you doing here?"

He immediately stepped forward, blocking Siyi's path. Looking down at her still haggard face, his tone carried a hint of reproach, "Dad's alone in the hospital? What are you doing here?"

Siyi lowered her eyes, her hands clenching and unclenching at her sides, her mind still a mess.

She herself didn't know how she ended up at the police station.

After Ye Zhenghao left, she was restless and couldn't calm down. Although she kept telling herself that none of this had anything to do with her and that whatever he did had nothing to do with her, no amount of words could convince her.

She had never felt time pass so slowly, so she uncontrollably called Ye Zhenghao, only to find his phone switched off. This terrified her. Her older brother's phone was off—was he meeting with Jiang Yan?

How is he? How did this all happen? Why did he suddenly get involved in murder and drug possession? Will his older brother make things difficult for him...?

Too many problems, like vines, were entangled around her, making it hard for her to breathe.

She was uneasy, flustered, and didn't even know what she was thinking, but she knew she couldn't sit still any longer. She had to know, she had to at least see if he was alright...

She knew what taking this step would mean, but she couldn't care less about that now, if something really happened to him...

She dared not think any further. What if Jiang Yan Hui really went to jail? What if Jiang Yan Hui really disappeared from her world completely?

The mere thought of this caused her a dull ache in her heart, throwing her into complete disarray and making her forget everything else.

It turns out that repeatedly pushing him away was just to make sure he would never leave. But when she really knew he might leave her completely, she panicked like this...

She finally came, and seeing him standing there unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief. Even with her displeased older brother blocking her way, she felt no regret. At this point, she didn't want to hide anything anymore. Now that she was here, there were some things she needed to clarify.

“Dad has woken up, and the doctor said his condition is currently stable.”

She took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision, and slowly raised her head, finally saying, "Brother, I didn't come here to see you."

Ye Zhenghao's eyes darkened. Although he knew that Siyi and Jiang Yanhui had an ambiguous relationship before, he thought that Siyi was a very sensible person, and she had assured him several times that she would not really have anything to do with Jiang Yanhui.

But what does her current expression and tone of voice signify?

He felt uneasy and subconsciously reached out to grab Siyi's wrist, but Siyi gently shook him away. She didn't know where she got the courage, but looking at Ye Zhenghao's gloomy face, she said clearly, "I came to see him. I have something to say to him."

Ye Zhenghao's expression finally turned angry. "Siyi, do you know what you're doing? Go back right now!"

"no!"

Siyi, however, made up her mind. She bit her lip, her brows showing the stubbornness and obstinacy that Ye Zhenghao was familiar with. "Big brother, I can't listen to you this time. There are some things I must say to him. Don't stop me."

Seeing Siyi's expression, Ye Zhenghao's mood worsened. "Siyi, don't be ridiculous. He's a suspect now. What do you want to see him for? You don't know anything. Don't be confused."

"Brother, he hasn't been convicted yet, so why are you saying these things about him? I have something to say to him."

"Excuse me, Inspector Ye, if you want to chat about family matters, could you wait a while? Could you process my paperwork first? I'm in a hurry to get home."

Jiang Yanhui's voice interrupted in a nonchalant tone, startling both Ye Zhenghao and Siyi. Siyi looked over Ye Zhenghao's shoulder and saw Jiang Yanhui behind him.

It had only been a few hours since they parted, and she knew his features—his eyebrows, lips, and hair—all too well. Yet, at this moment, the expression on his face felt strangely unfamiliar. Even when their eyes met, she couldn't find any trace of the familiarity she once felt. His expression was indifferent; his face was indeed unparalleled, but when expressionless, it exuded a coldness that kept people at a distance.

Siyi felt a chill in her heart; it was a feeling of being ignored, and she only felt sad.

He never acted like this before, no matter the occasion.

He always liked to be close to her and always liked to say things that made her blush and her heart race. She always thought she didn't like it, but it turns out that what she couldn't accept even more than those things was his indifference and aloofness towards her.

Whether it was his gaze that provoked her to break down the last line of defense deep in her heart, she pushed Ye Zhenghao away and walked straight to Jiang Yanhui. She grabbed his wrist and pulled him toward the door, saying, "I have something to tell you. Come with me."

This was the first time in all the time they had known each other that she had taken the initiative to hold his hand in public.

Happiness is when you gently take my hand when I'm at my wit's end.

Jiang Yan felt as if something had struck her heart, and she was stunned for a moment. So much so that she didn't react for a long time when she was pulled so forcefully towards the entrance of the police station.

Ye Zhenghao watched as Siyi pulled Jiang Yan away, his face turning extremely ugly. He was about to chase after them when Kang Zhaoyu, being very shrewd, quickly blocked his way, smiling and saying, "Ye sir, I think you already know that our young master Yan can be released on bail. Now, shall we go and complete the formalities?"

Ye Zhenghao said with a gloomy expression, "Attorney Kang needs to complete the procedures. There are people over there to handle them for you." As he spoke, he was about to chase after him again, but Kang Zhaoyu blocked his way.

He still smiled and said, "Inspector Ye, I've even had a lawsuit with Attorney Ye. In my heart, she has always been an outstanding lawyer and very independent. I believe she still has the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Even if you catch up with her, what's the point? Besides, this is a police station, on your turf. What could possibly happen to her?"

Ye Zhenghao really disliked the lawyer in front of him. He was about to retort when the office phone rang again, so he had to turn around to answer it.

Kang Zhaoyu watched his indignant back and sighed.

Actually, he wasn't interested in getting involved in their affairs, but it was still related to Young Master Yan. When he first faced Siyi in court, he knew that Young Master Yan treated this woman very differently, so he was just doing her a favor.

He shook his head and picked up his briefcase to help Jiang Yan with the paperwork.

Outside the police station, Siyi was still holding onto Jiang Yanhui. They had just crossed the road and arrived at the entrance of a small alley when Jiang Yanhui finally realized what was happening. She struggled and managed to break free from Siyi's grasp.

Siyi also stopped and turned around to look at him.

It was already dusk, and the sun was setting. The two of them stood at the entrance of the alley.

Siyi stared intently at the man before her, while he looked back at her with a cold and indifferent gaze.

She felt a slight pang in her heart, but still turned her face away.

She noticed the bright bloodstains on his shirt, her brows furrowed, and she suddenly stepped forward, grabbing his clothes. She demanded, "What is this? Jiang Yan Hui, tell me, what happened? Why are you covered in blood? Tell me, you didn't kill anyone, and you didn't hide any drugs, right? I don't believe you would do such a thing!"

Her tone was urgent, and her brows were furrowed with tension and worry. Jiang Yanhui simply let her tug at his shirt. She was right in front of him, so close that he could almost see his own reflection deep within her pupils, every detail of her eyes and brows so clear.

Such a profound impression was as if he were imprinted deep within her heart.

Is this woman worried about herself right now? Or is she worried about him too?

Didn't she keep telling me to stop bothering her?

He clearly told her to get lost, that he was already planning to let go, so why did she barge in again? Does she think that whatever she says can never be taken seriously?

Did she really think that Jiang Yan Hui had no temper?

He remained motionless, staring at her with a cold, condescending gaze, his tone as icy as he spoke, "Ye Siyi, why did you come? Haven't I told you what would happen if you appeared in front of me again?"

He pursed his lips and stared at her coldly.

Siyi felt a jolt in her heart, as if something had shattered into pieces. She didn't even realize that when he stopped calling her "baby" and "Sisi," she felt a sudden panic and tension. Her eyes flickered, but her tone remained calm. "You don't need to talk to me like that. I don't even know why I came. I just felt you weren't the kind of person who would kill, commit arson, or hide and use drugs. Jiang Yanhui, this isn't about being temperamental. Tell me what happened, at least I..."

"At least what?"

He interrupted her, his expression indifferent, and then gave a slight, mocking smile, "You're so nervous, do you want to be my defense attorney?"
