On the plane, hearing Xu Zixi heave another soft sigh, Yan Yincheng took her hand and said, "Zixi, you're really lucky."
"Brother Cheng, stop trying to console me," Xu Zixi said helplessly. "I suspect God has taken back my good luck."
When Yan Yincheng had that accident, she'd prayed to God that if he could come out unscathed, she'd be willing to sacrifice her natural good luck.
Now thinking about it, God must have heard her prayer, allowing him to suffer only a minor injury and quickly recover. And her good luck had been exhausted ever since.
Otherwise, why had she been hitting one setback after another recently?
"If it weren't for your good luck, we might have made another fruitless trip to California this time. The daily passenger flow at the Texas airport is so huge, yet you just happened to notice something amiss in the crowd and managed to catch the person. Isn't that a good thing?"
Yan Yincheng said, "And now we know that 'Xiong Han' is someone else. From now on, we have a new direction for our investigation. We don't have to run around like headless chickens anymore."
Xu Zixi was convinced by his words. Really? So, her good luck was still with her?
"Brother Cheng, I have a conjecture. I don't know if it holds water," she said. "Xiong Han went to so much trouble to disguise himself as someone else. Maybe it's because he's someone you know. That accident that night must not have been an accident. It was 'Xiong Han,' or rather, 'Bai He,' who did it on purpose."
"However, there's still one thing I can't figure out. If 'Bai He's' real target was you, then why hasn't he continued to target you all these years?"
"Your inference is really reasonable. You can't figure it out now because 'Bai He' has been arrested, so the subsequent results have come to a sudden halt here," Yan Yincheng said calmly.
"But if we look at the trajectory of the previous life, maybe everything will fall into place."
Right! In the previous life, Bai He took Xuanxuan as his apprentice, took him into that organization, and made Xuanxuan a big villain, who finally ended up in a tragic situation. And Xuxu also became a victim of business competition and left in such a tragic way.
As for Yan Yincheng, he never knew he had two sons in his whole life. By the time he finally found out, the rest of his life was filled with endless pain and self - blame.
As for Yuan Xi, needless to say, she left this world early.
It turned out that none of them had a good ending.
So, was all this Bai He's revenge against Yan Yincheng? Was his cooperation with Yuan Yaer just a by - the - way thing? When Bai He was arrested, she could tell that the relationship between him and Yuan Yaer wasn't strong. He'd also said that he helped Yuan Yaer just because he owed her a favor.
Unexpectedly, after peeling away the layers of mystery, they found that there was a deeper secret hidden in the events four years ago. However, this also proved that initially, it wasn't Yan Yincheng's own will to have that relationship with Yuan Xi.
Bai He was a special criminal involved in a trans - national case. Now they couldn't just visit him whenever they wanted. Otherwise, she really would like to see him one more time.
Yan Yincheng pulled her into his arms. "Sooner or later, the real 'Xiong Han' and the person who stole the treatment plan will surely surface at the most appropriate time. I believe your good luck will surely bring a turning point to this matter."
"Zixi, you're my lucky star and my hope," he said, kissing her forehead.
Xu Zixi leaned completely against him and said with a smile, "Then you're my safe haven and my strongest backing."
After another nearly 24 - hour flight, they returned to Country C. Their first stop was Yuncheng. According to the address given by Han Bei, they buried Mr. Tang and his wife and son's ashes there.
Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng lit three incense sticks, solemnly bowed in front of the graves, and then planned to leave and return to Haicheng.
However, when passing by a cluster of tombstones, Xu Zixi let out a soft "huh" and stopped.
Yan Yincheng asked, "What's wrong, Zixi?"
"Brother Cheng, Mr. Tang's wife's name is 'Chen Mei,' right?" Xu Zixi said, looking at the tombstone beside her. "There's also a tombstone with this name here."
"However, the tombstone only says 'Tomb of Chen Mei' and there are no other words on it."
"Maybe it's just someone with the same name," Yan Yincheng said. "Or maybe it was set up by her natal family. After all, her ashes were taken abroad by Father Tang back then."
"Okay..." Xu Zixi stopped looking at the tombstone, took Yan Yincheng's hand, and turned to leave.
Three hours later, they finally returned to Haicheng.
When they got back to the warm villa in the south of the city, the two kids excitedly rushed into the house and threw themselves into the arms of Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li, hugging their necks and acting coquettishly.
Even Xu Zixi felt a strong sense of homecoming.
They had really been away for too long this time. Counting from the time they returned to Fengcheng until today, it had taken almost half a month. However, the kids had also broadened their horizons this time.
They'd been to Fengcheng, to Texas in Country A, and also to Yuncheng.
Presumably, in the future, this experience would surely become an indelible memory in their lives.
To celebrate their homecoming, that night, Xu Zixi cooked a delicious meal for the father - son trio herself. In Texas, they'd been forced to eat not - so - good Western food for two days, which had really troubled the picky father - son trio.
Being fed by Xu Zixi, the three of them ate until their bellies were round, their faces full of satisfaction.
The next day, the materials packed by Han Bei were also sent from Country A to Haicheng. Xu Zixi specially asked A Qiang and the others to set up a data room in the villa to store these materials.
Piles and piles of materials filled the cabinets. Looking at the materials in front of her, Xu Zixi's eyes were full of determined light.
No matter who stole the documents that could cure Brother Cheng's eyes, as long as she didn't give up, she would surely be able to find the most suitable treatment plan just like Mr. Tang!
From this day on, Xu Zixi's life returned to its previous calm.
Every morning, she would first exercise with Yan Yincheng and the two kids in the courtyard to keep a healthy body.
Then, she would go to the construction site of "City of Hope" with Yan Yincheng to check on the construction progress.
After that, she would return to the company to handle business.
Now, "Xi Cheng" had its own office location, which was the building of the headquarters of Zhao's Group.
Zhao Quanjing was sentenced to death, Zhao's Group went bankrupt, and all his assets were confiscated and then put up for auction. However, because of the heinous things Zhao's Group had done, no one dared to take over its industries for fear of bad luck and public outrage.
They were afraid, but Xu Zixi wasn't.
She not only took over the headquarters building of Zhao's Group but also the operation rights of the scenic spots that Zhao's Group had once managed. It could be said that from then on, Xu Zixi had control over the entire tourism industry in Haicheng, including "City of Hope."
However, to maintain healthy competition, both Pei's and Jiang's Group had also invested in "Xi Cheng." However, their respective shareholding ratios were only 10%, while Xu Zixi held 50% and was the well - deserved person in power. As for the remaining 30%, of course, it was in Yan Yincheng's hands.
Xi Cheng, Xi Cheng. If there was Xi, how could there be no Cheng?
Not to mention anything else, just looking at the two desks in the chairman's office would tell!
