He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.
Chapter 336 Ending Countdown 5
“Because I left in such a hurry, I had Dad tell you,” Jiang Yan explained patiently to her two children. “Before, you only lived with Mom, so she would tell you everything she did. But now you’re all grown up, and you have Dad too, right?”
Beibei glanced at Tiantian, then looked at Jiang Yanhui, still seemingly confused. "Where did Daddy... Mommy go?"
Mom never used to go this long without visiting him and his sister. She didn't come to see him when he was kidnapped by that strange old man. Does that mean Mom doesn't want them anymore?
The children's faces showed obvious disappointment. Jiang Yan reached out and took the two children's hands, gently squeezing them in her palms. "Beibei, don't think too much. Your mother really has something to do, so she has to leave for a while. But Daddy promises you, once she's done, we'll go and pick her up together, okay?"
This time, the little one immediately replied, "Really? Daddy, didn't Mommy abandon us?"
“Silly kids, of course not. How could Mommy not want you? She misses you very much, but she's just tied up with something, and she can't make calls over there, so she hasn't been able to tell you, you know?” Jiang Yan knew this absurd and far-fetched reason wouldn't convince anyone, but at least it could calm the two children down for now. “Alright, Daddy has some things to take care of now. Let Uncle Liu Qi take you to get something to eat, and then we'll go home, okay?”
Beibei pursed her pink lips and nodded somewhat reluctantly, "Okay, even though you don't have much credibility with us, you're still our dad, so we'll trust you this once. Just make sure you bring Mom back soon!"
Jiang Yan was both amused and exasperated by his son's words. This little guy always managed to say something surprising. He pulled his son's hand away, gently patted his shoulder, and said softly, "Daddy promises you, and I will definitely keep my word. Also, Daddy might be very busy lately, so Daddy will have Uncle Liu Qi take care of you. You have to be good and obedient." His gaze fell on his daughter's face, and his eyes softened even more. "Tiantian, Daddy knows you love drawing, so I've hired a teacher to teach you."
Tian Tian's eyes held a hint of excitement as she made a gesture that seemed to be a thank you to her father. Bei Bei diligently translated for her. Jiang Yan smiled, gave a few more instructions, and then told Liu Qi to take the child away.
Reaching out to pinch his slightly aching brow, Jiang Yan felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him as he stepped into the elevator. Leaning against the elevator wall, he watched the red numbers jump up one by one until they reached his floor. Finally, he took out his phone and dialed a number he hadn't made in a long time.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed a little surprised to receive his call. His deep, resonant voice asked, "Hmm? What's the wind blowing today?"
Jiang Yan rubbed his temples, then strode toward the door. He wasn't in the mood for jokes and went straight to the point, "I have two favors for you. Please investigate these things and I need the results as soon as possible."
“Originally, people wouldn’t visit a temple without a reason!” Nie Junwei chuckled lightly, one could imagine his radiant expression as he held his phone. “Alright, Young Master Yan, just say what you need. My intelligence network will investigate everything that others don’t know!”
Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Help me investigate two people. For one, I need to know his background, and for the other, I need to know where she is now."
.........
"What did you say? They didn't catch him?!"
Lin Zhenbiao swept his hand up and overturned the potted plant he had carefully trimmed to the ground. His weathered old face twisted into a ferocious grimace. "What are you all good for? I sent out so many people, and you couldn't even manage to bring him back to me? What am I keeping you all here for?!"
The old butler stepped aside tremblingly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, should we think of another way..."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Of course we need to find a way, we absolutely must find a way!" Those things were far too important to him. If they were leaked, he couldn't imagine what would happen if all his efforts over the years were in vain. At his age, he was supposed to be enjoying his retirement, but if he had that evidence, he would definitely be sentenced, if not to death, then to life imprisonment...
Now that he has already broken ties with Jiang Yanhui, he is increasingly unable to guarantee that Jiang Yanhui will not show him any mercy, so he has no way out!
"Back to City A immediately." Lin Zhenbiao quickly composed himself and coldly ordered the old butler, "Have someone from over there go to the Central Hospital and bring Jiang Jizhen here! Also, send some people here, and bring those two children here too. You saw Ye Siyi board the plane, didn't you? Send someone abroad immediately, by any means necessary, to bring Ye Siyi back. She's key; with her in our hands, Yan Hui will definitely be more cautious."
This was practically a complete overturning of the unspoken understanding between Lin Zhenbiao and Jiang Yan Hui. The old butler knew how important that evidence was to Lin Zhenbiao, but by doing this, he was clearly severing the last glimmer of hope between him and Jiang Yan Hui.
"Mr. Lin, is this really the right thing to do? Even Young Master Yan might not..."
"Shut up!"
Lin Zhenbiao angrily interrupted the old butler, "Do what I tell you to do! No need for nonsense. I don't trust anyone anymore. Over the years, I've raised a thankless wretch, and now he's turning around and biting me. I'm just trying to protect myself. He can't blame me. Go do it right now, and be quick!"
The old butler's lips twitched as if he wanted to say something, but seeing Lin Zhenbiao's expression, he ultimately said nothing and left to carry out his orders.

Lin Zhenbiao arranged for Siyi to go abroad, with the destination being the UK.
Actually, Siyi didn't really like England. The weather in London was too humid, and she wasn't the type of person who liked to carry an umbrella every day. Plus, she didn't really believe Lin Zhenbiao's words. After flying directly to England, she immediately bought a ticket at the airport and flew back to the United States.
Ye Xiongming is in the United States. The main reason for her departure this time is to seek answers to some questions that have been troubling her.
Siyi curled up listlessly in the spacious leather chair. A flight attendant bent down beside her and considerately asked if she needed any services. But she only felt cold, so she asked for a blanket.
She wrapped herself up tightly, trying not to think about anything else—not about the current situation of her two children, nor about what Jiang Yanhui was like now. At 30,000 feet, she felt a sense of peace. She had expected to have insomnia, but she quickly drifted off to sleep. When she woke up, she was unbearably hungry, so the airplane food became bearable. She even ordered a glass of wine, gulped it down, and then went back to sleep.
I had no dreams at all; it was like a giant black hole, drawing me in. What used to be an unbearable ten-plus hours felt like a fleeting moment on this journey that wasn't really a trip.
As the plane was about to land, the flight attendant gently woke her up. Siyi took off her eye mask and heard someone laugh from behind her: "Finally awake. You really can sleep..."
Siyi was still a little unaccustomed to the light. She turned around and saw a young man wearing a very casual cotton shirt. He squinted at her, raised his wrist, pointed to his watch, and said, "Excuse me, I've been sitting next to you since I boarded the plane, but you're the first woman I've ever seen who can sleep so much. It seems like you're sleeping soundly 80% of the time."
The man was quite handsome, with regular features. However, because Siyi had met such a dazzling man as Jiang Yanhui, ordinary men were not really considered handsome in her eyes. Seeing his incredulous expression, Siyi simply smiled politely, then quietly turned her head and pulled open the sunshade.
"What are you going to America for?" The man, oblivious to her tact, continued his casual flirting, as if he wouldn't give up until she answered. "Tourism or visiting relatives?"
"Tourism." Siyi spat out the two words. It wasn't unusual to be approached by people trying to chat her up on a plane, but she wasn't in the mood right now, and her expression was already quite forced. "Excuse me, sir, I don't really like talking to strangers before the plane lands."
"It's alright, let's have a proper chat after the plane lands!" This man was incredibly tactless; he actually had the nerve to say something like that at a time like this.
Siyi was too lazy to say anything more to him. She was sitting by the window and was looking out the window. The plane was descending rapidly, and she felt a strange swelling in her eardrums. Siyi closed her eyes tightly, and a strange sense of unease was raging in her chest.
She left her hometown and came to this place. Is the truth she seeks truly the truth for her?
It has been said that one doesn't necessarily need to seek the absolute truth in everything; sometimes, those who live a life of blissful ignorance are actually happier...
But does she still have the right to happiness?
"Hi, beautiful and lovely lady, the plane has landed. Are you leaving now?"
