"Wenzhou Qin Family?" Blood Rose was taken aback, not quite understanding why Ye Guichen suddenly asked this, but after thinking for a moment, she answered, "I have some impression of them. The Qin Family seems to be ranked among the top ten powerful families in the three provinces of Jiangnan, although in recent years it appears that their status is subtly declining. I don't know much more about them."

In the eyes of people like Blood Rose, the top ten powerful families in the three provinces of Jiangnan are nothing special; only the top three powerful families, like those in Jinling and Yanjing, would catch their attention.

Ye Guichen nodded lightly upon hearing this and asked, "Who is in Wenzhou now?"

"Greedy Wolf," Blood Rose answered without thinking.

Usually, the members of the Heavenly God Temple are scattered all over the world. As for who is handling matters where, Ye Guichen never cares to ask.

"Tell Greedy Wolf to secretly protect someone," Ye Guichen pondered for a moment and finally decided to use the power of the Heavenly God Temple.

The Heavenly God Temple is his biggest trump card; Ye Guichen doesn't want to use it unless absolutely necessary.

Moreover, every member of the Heavenly God Temple is his precious asset. No matter who gets into trouble, it would make him very distressed.

However, Ye Guichen could clearly sense Mi Lan's feelings and helplessness towards him.

He couldn't watch Mi Lan jump into the fire pit.

Although many people think that marrying into the Luo Family is like ascending to heaven in a single step, it's clear that Mi Lan doesn't think so.

"It's quite a coincidence that the Luo Family still owes me 51% of their shares. They haven't delivered them after so long. It seems I need to find some time to personally visit them and collect what's owed."

Back on Snake Head Mountain, Luo Qianqi of the Luo Family, under pressure, agreed to his request and bought the gold and silver treasures from the burial site with 51% of the Luo Family's assets.

But so much time has passed, and they don't seem to have any intention of fulfilling their promise.

Ye Guichen felt that this world was too small, not expecting Mi Lan to be a member of the Qin Family and also have a marriage alliance with the Luo Family.

Since that's the case, Ye Guichen didn't mind dealing with the Luo Family again.

Mi Lan's beautiful eyes flickered as she glanced at Ye Guichen side-eyed, "Boss, who are we protecting?"

"The Qin Family, Mi Lan."

Ye Guichen responded flatly.

"Achoo!"

Meanwhile, on a train heading for Wenzhou, Mi Lan suddenly sneezed.

She rubbed her nose, and Ye Guichen's figure inexplicably flashed in her mind.

Just as Ye Guichen guessed, worried that Qin Feng would hurt Ye Guichen, Mi Lan decided to return with Qin Feng.

"Qin Feng, I have agreed to go with you. You must keep your word and not harm my friends in Yun City." Mi Lan didn't dare mention Ye Guichen's name, fearing it would make Qin Feng more fixated.

Qin Feng snickered coldly, "Mi Lan, I will fulfill the promise I made to you, but it still depends on whether you behave obediently."

Mi Lan glanced at Qin Feng, who had a cunning smile, turned her head to look out the car window and reluctantly said, "Don't worry, once we go back, I'll stay at the Qin Family and wait for the engagement day."

"Haha, if you were always this obedient, there wouldn't have been so many troubles!" Qin Feng laughed smugly.

But deep in his eyes, a hint of killing intent flashed.

How could he possibly let Ye Guichen go?

But Qin Feng also knew that he might not be a match for Ye Guichen this time, so he planned to send Mi Lan back to the Qin Family first and then call in reinforcements to deal with him.

After all, to the Qin Family, Ye Guichen was a hidden threat.

If the Luo Family found out that Mi Lan had feelings for another man, the marriage alliance might be jeopardized, and the Qin Family would be in trouble.

...

When Ye Guichen arrived at Chen Ziran's office, Chen Ziran was holding an envelope, pacing back and forth.

Her face was anxious. When she saw Ye Guichen, she immediately approached him, "Guichen, did something happen to Mi Lan? Last night she told me a lot, saying that her time in Yun City was the happiest. She was clearly emotional, but refused to say anything when I pressed her. Do you know anything?"

"Quickly, tell me, did you bully her?" Chen Ziran questioned rapidly, desperately wanting to know everything Ye Guichen knew. "Or did you two get too involved in your act?"

"Cough, cough!" Ye Guichen almost choked on Chen Ziran's words, "Do you want us to be involved or not?"

Chen Ziran snorted, eyeing Ye Guichen strangely, "Do you know something?"

"Hey, honey, Mi Lan is an adult. What could possibly happen to her? Besides, you've known her for more than a day or two. Don't worry," Ye Guichen could only comfort her. He couldn't reveal Mi Lan's background to Chen Ziran, nor could he tell her that Mi Lan was a tool for a large family's marriage alliance.

"Alright, didn't Mi Lan leave me a letter?" Ye Guichen looked at the envelope in Chen Ziran's hand.

Chen Ziran slapped her forehead, remembering Mi Lan's letter to Ye Guichen. She handed the envelope to him, saying strangely, "I didn't read this letter. Hmph, Mi Lan is my best friend. Even if you like her, you have to tell me. I... I wouldn't mind…"

Her voice grew small on the last sentence, showing her obvious shyness.

She never imagined the man she liked could like another woman, but she also knew that a man as charming as Ye Guichen undoubtedly attracted other women.

"Hehe, don't worry. There's nothing between us." Ye Guichen chuckled, taking the envelope and opening it.

The script inside had delicate handwriting, with faint traces of tears.

It read: My beloved is a peerless hero. One day he will come to marry me on colorful clouds. I guessed the beginning, but I couldn't guess this ending...

And at the bottom, there was only one line: If only life were as beautiful as the first time we met.

For a moment, Ye Guichen's heart was struck as if by a heavy blow.

If only life were as beautiful as the first time we met, why do we feel sorrow in autumn?

People's hearts change easily, yet it's hard to believe when they do.

Seeing this line, Ye Guichen seemed to see Mi Lan's tearful face and heart-wrenching pain while writing.

The hardest to withstand is a beauty's heart.

Although his time with Mi Lan was not long, Mi Lan's carefree nature, her maturity mixed with playfulness, always made Ye Guichen unable to resist teasing her, joking with her.

Now, Ye Guichen finally understood why Mi Lan always claimed to look for a peerless hero, someone like Superman.

Perhaps, deep down, she longed for someone who could save her from the fire and water.

But in the end, reality forced her to give up.

The world is vast, but where is there a peerless hero like Sun Wukong, fearless and invincible?

I guessed the beginning, but I couldn't guess this ending.

How could one sentence express all the sorrow in Mi Lan's heart?

"Guichen, are you alright?" Seeing Ye Guichen unmoving for a long time, Chen Ziran couldn't help but ask curiously.

Ye Guichen was startled, forcing out a wry smile, "I'm fine. Oh, right, I heard Zhao Erdan is being discharged today. Back then, Zhao Erdan got hurt protecting you. Let's go visit him together later."

"Sure!" Although extremely curious about the letter's content, Chen Ziran knew what should and shouldn't be asked.
