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

He nodded, but Siyi had already stood up impatiently, walked past Jiang Yanhui and headed straight for the cabin door. Someone had already opened the cabin door, and Siyi took three steps at a time to get off the plane, only to find Ye Zhenghao already waiting there at the passageway.

Her heart skipped a beat. How could her older brother be here?

Ye Zhenghao had already investigated Jiang Yanhui's whereabouts. This time, Jiang Yanhui probably didn't deliberately send anyone to intercept him, so he knew that Siyi must have come back with him. He was waiting at the airport entrance early in the morning.

Upon seeing Siyi, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. He didn't even glance at the man who followed Siyi out of the cabin, nor did he say a word. He took a few steps forward, grabbed Siyi's hand, and said, "Come back with me."

Siyi certainly didn't want Ye Zhenghao to say anything else. Every time the two of them met before, it was always tense. Now that Jiang Yanhui was injured, it was best that her older brother didn't say anything.

She didn't struggle and obediently followed Ye Zhenghao out of the passage.

But when she reached the door, she couldn't help but turn around and glance at Jiang Yanhui, who was standing still without moving.

The distance between them was a bit far, so she couldn't really see the expression on his face clearly, but the light in his eyes was burning, with a warmth she knew deep in her soul.

Her heart skipped a beat, but she still got into the car with Ye Zhenghao.

"Big brother, how is Dad?" As soon as she got in the car, Siyi asked Ye Zhenghao, who was driving.

Ye Zhenghao looked solemn, with a rare hint of fatigue between his brows. Siyi noticed that he had a lot of stubble on his chin, and the shirt he was wearing was wrinkled.

It looks like it hasn't been changed for several days.

She felt increasingly uneasy and grew more agitated. "Big brother, say something! What's wrong with Dad? Before...didn't the doctor say he was fine?"

"Siyi, tell me honestly, what exactly happened between you and Mom before?"

Ye Zhenghao, however, gave an irrelevant answer. Just then, the light ahead turned red, so he stopped the car, turned around to look at her, and asked, "You and Mom had two arguments before, didn't you? I haven't asked you what they were about until now. Tell me, why did you argue with Mom?"

It was his oversight before.

In fact, Siyi has always been very sensible since she was a child, and she has always had a good relationship with her mother.

Her mother had always doted on her since she was little, but recently they had been arguing frequently. He had thought it was just some trivial matter, but now he realized it wasn't.

Siyi hadn't expected Ye Zhenghao to ask this so suddenly. Her heart skipped a beat, and her eyes flickered. "...Big brother, why are you asking this?"

Ye Zhenghao was a policeman, so his ability to read people was naturally excellent. He knew his sister even better, and he could tell from her shifty expression that she was hiding something from him.

He frowned, and his tone became heavier. "Just as I thought, Siyi, what exactly do you know?"

"Big brother, why are you asking me this now? Tell me what happened to Dad first!" Siyi's heart started to race. Why was her brother asking about Mom for no reason?

Could Dad's recent relapse be related to Mom?

She nodded without hesitation. The thought flashed through her mind, and she felt her hands and feet turn ice-cold.

Could it be... that Dad found out about Mom and Jiang Jizhen's affair?

A look of pain flashed across Ye Zhenghao's brow. He clenched his fist and slammed it hard against the steering wheel. Just then, the red light turned into a streetlight, and he honked the horn. A piercing sound immediately filled the road, and cars behind him honked their horns incessantly. But he seemed not to hear them and said painfully, "Dad suddenly had a stroke."

Siyi's heart sank into an abyss. She stammered, "...Wh-what? Stroke...how...how could this happen?"

“His health was already poor, and his old illness relapsed because of what happened to you. The doctor had already said that he couldn’t be stimulated again. Actually, he had been resting during this time and his health had improved quite a bit. However, the day before you left, I don’t know what happened. When I went to see him the next day, he had already suffered a stroke and was lying in bed. Now he even has difficulty speaking.”

Siyi felt a dull throbbing in her temples, her mind a jumbled mess, unable to make sense of anything. She could only numbly repeat, "How could this happen... How could Daddy do this... How could this happen..."

Ye Zhenghao also looked bewildered. "The doctor said that we were lucky this time. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a stroke, and Dad might have..." He paused, took a deep breath, and then slowly said, "He can't be subjected to any more stimulation... Siyi, you know that Dad has always been such a strong-willed person. Do you think he's so resistant to being lying motionless in bed, needing someone to take care of him even for eating, drinking, and using the toilet? He had been refusing to eat before. If it weren't for the medication in the hospital, he definitely wouldn't have been able to hold on."

Someone glanced at his car window, and Ye Zhenghao realized that the light had turned green. With a grim face, he released the brake, stepped on the gas, and the car sped away.

Siyi's mind was in turmoil. She gripped the seatbelt tightly with both hands, and it took her a while to remember something. "Where's Mom? Where is Mom?"

Ye Zhenghao's expression became even more serious. "I can't find her."

Siyi's palms were already sweating. "W-what? Big brother, what do you mean by 'can't find'?"

"After Dad had his stroke, Mom disappeared. I have no idea where she went, understand?" Ye Zhenghao roared. He had been under immense pressure these past few days. The Ye family had suddenly changed, and he had no idea what was going on. Even Guan Fengru was nowhere to be found. He was on the verge of a breakdown. "That's why I'm asking you, what do you know? I was wondering before, Mom always loved you so much, how could she hit you? You're not some willful or immature person. But now that she's gone, I realize there must be something between you that I don't know."

She was gripping the seatbelt tightly, but when she heard Ye Zhenghao's words, it snapped hard against her stomach. She trembled all over, even her voice trembled, "...Mom, when did Mom disappear? What...what did she say to Dad?"

"I don't know." Ye Zhenghao said anxiously, "I don't know anything the hell. I'm a policeman, but I've spent so much effort and I just can't find her. I don't know where she went."

Siyi didn't hear a single word; she seemed to be in a daze, as if she had suddenly remembered something.

"...Give me a little more time. He's not feeling well right now, and I'm afraid he can't handle too much stress... Yes, I'll talk to him about it. Don't worry, now that I've made my decision, I won't look back. I'll make sure everything else is taken care of..."

…………

This was a phone call she overheard from her mother before leaving City A. It was just a few simple words, but she immediately sensed something was wrong. However, her mother vehemently denied that it was a conversation between her and Jiang Jizhen. She refused to hand over the phone.

just now……

She's gone, and her father has had a stroke. What does all this mean?

"Siyi? Siyi?...Siyi?"

Seeing that Siyi hadn't spoken for a long time and hadn't responded even after calling her several times, Ye Zhenghao parked the car and then reached out to push her, "Siyi, tell your big brother everything you know."

Siyi's face was deathly pale, but her remaining rationality prevented her from saying anything more. She pursed her lips and shook her head, "Big brother, I... I don't know anything."

We can't be absolutely certain right now whether Mom left because of her affair with Jiang Jizhen. At least when Dad was sick, she stayed by his side without leaving for a moment; she wouldn't be that kind of person. So why did she disappear?

She knows nothing and can't find a clue, but she knows she can't tell her older brother anything. She has to keep her mouth shut, at least until she's sure. She can't cause any more trouble.

Given the current situation, if my older brother finds out about that matter... the consequences would be unimaginable.

She was thankful that she was able to maintain basic composure amidst the chaos.

But Ye Zhenghao didn't completely believe her. He narrowed his eyes, looked straight into her eyes, and said slowly and deliberately, "Siyi, your older brother has watched you grow up since you were little. You can't hide anything from me. Tell me, do you really not know where Mom went?"

"Brother, I really don't know."

Siyi calmed down instead. She took two deep breaths before raising her eyes to look Ye Zhenghao in the eye. "I have no reason to lie to you. If I really knew where Mom was, I wouldn't just sit here waiting. I would definitely go find her."

Ye Zhenghao narrowed his eyes, pressing him aggressively, "Fine, then tell me, why did Mom hit you that time? What did you two argue about?"

Siyi took a deep breath and said very calmly, "Because she knew about my relationship with Jiang Yan, we had a few arguments."

"Jiang Yan is coming back?"

Ye Zhenghao pondered for a moment, seemingly trying to gauge the credibility of her words, "If I remember correctly, the time Mom slapped you, it seems that your affair with Jiang Yanhui was never reported. She wasn't in City A before, so how did she know about your affair with Jiang Yanhui as soon as she came back?"
