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

"Here, have something to drink."

Xia Ran pushed the coffee that the waiter had just brought over in front of Si Yi, and looked at her with a smile, "Speaking of which, how long has it been since we sat down and had a proper cup of coffee like this?"

"Ran, I'm sorry." Siyi's fingers slowly fiddled with the slightly warm cup, and she sighed softly. "It's been so many years. To be honest, I really was rude of me. I left twice without saying goodbye."

There's also Piaoyun. We've lost touch with her over the years, and I wonder if she's still in City A.

It was by chance that I ran into Xia Ran today. I left home late at night, and that bastard Jiang Yan didn't chase after me. Luckily, I took my car keys with me when I left. There are many cars in Jiang Yan's villa garage, so I just drove out in one car, but I didn't expect to run into Xia Ran on the road.

"Don't say that. Everyone has their own problems. I know you had no choice." Xia Ran lowered her head and took a small sip of coffee. "Why did you go out alone tonight?"

Siyi thought of Ye Zhenghao's matter, and then of the big argument she had just had with Jiang Yan. She wasn't in a good mood either. She had been living alone for many years, and she had long since developed the habit of keeping everything to herself and dealing with it alone because of her environment. At this moment, she instinctively didn't want to say much, but she changed the subject without making a sound, "It's nothing. I haven't been back to City A for a long time, so I came out for a walk by myself."

Xia Ran noticed that she seemed a little down, but since she didn't say anything, she didn't feel comfortable asking any further questions. "Then coffee at this late hour isn't very interesting. How about we take a walk together?"

“However, I’m not really in the mood for a walk right now.” Siyi thought of Ye Zhenghao with worry. “I don’t know where my older brother is now. Something happened to him, and I’m very worried about him.”

"Ye Zhenghao?" Xia Ran put down her cup, somewhat surprised. "I thought he was riding high lately. Actually, although I'm not a police officer, I have a pretty good relationship with the police. Countless people want to arrest someone like Lin Zhenbiao, but in the end, he still fell into the hands of our Director Ye. He even personally went to arrest him that day. He disappeared after making a contribution?"

Siyi didn't know how to tell Xia Ran about the matter between Ye Zhenghao and Lin Zhenbiao. It involved too much, so she naturally wouldn't say too much. "Maybe... the pressure is too much, so I drove out to see if I could find him."

"Where could a grown man really disappear to? Don't worry too much, he'll come back when he's supposed to. Besides, Lin Zhenbiao's trial is in a week, right? He'll definitely show up then." Xia Ran was unconvinced. She didn't seem to be in a good mood today either, and suggested, "Siyi, how about we go to a bar for a drink?"

Siyi finally realized something, "Are you in a bad mood too?"

"I wouldn't say that. It's just that I haven't been to a bar for a drink in a long time. Since you're here today, you can keep me company."

Since she had already said that, Siyi couldn't refuse anymore. After paying the bill, the two of them drove directly to the nearest bar in one car.

“However, there’s something I haven’t really thanked you for yet. Jiang Yanhui told me before that Shang Zhancheng has been taking such good care of me because of you. You even went to America with Jiang Yanhui specifically for me.” Siyi wasn’t driving; she was sitting in the passenger seat. She turned to look at Xia Ran, who was driving. “It seems like Shang Zhancheng has known you for a long time, right? I saw a photo of you from a few years ago.”

Xia Ran simply gave a light "hmm," and said, "We met when we were in school, but we haven't been in touch for many years."

"He seems to be very interested in you?" Siyi recalled how Shang Zhancheng's eyes lit up when he mentioned Xia Ran's name. Anyone could see that he had feelings for Xia Ran more than just a little.

Xia Ran chuckled softly, then glanced at Si Yi sideways when she had a moment to spare. "You're here to gossip about me? Gossip about yourself first! I heard that our esteemed Young Master Yan proposed to you back in America, right? Why don't you tell me about that?"

Siyi's face flushed slightly, and she bit her lip, muttering softly, "Well, you already knew, didn't you?"

"Tell me the details!" Even the usually oblivious forensic doctor, Xia, was now beaming with gossip. "I only heard about it from Shang Zhancheng by chance. He's really generous. Apparently, he booked all the rides in the amusement park that day and even opened them to the public so he could give you a better surprise. Wow, I never expected Young Master Yan to have such a romantic side. Siyi, you're so lucky."

happiness……

Siyi realized that this was only their first day after registering their marriage, and they were already arguing so fiercely. Although she now realized that her words were a bit extreme, it had been so long and he hadn't called once. What kind of situation was this?

He's a man, and he was in the wrong to begin with. Even if he had considered his own feelings, he shouldn't have dragged his older brother into this mess at that time! Would it kill him to say sorry?

She smiled nonchalantly, saying nothing more, but glanced down at her phone. The screen was dark, and there were no text messages or missed calls when she pressed the button.

Jiang, Yan, Hui!

She gritted her teeth and thought, "If you're so capable, then never come looking for me again!"

The bar was right in front of them, so Xia Ran parked the car and took Si Yi inside. The music was deafening, the dance floor was packed with people dancing enthusiastically, and the bar was also full of people. This was the bar's peak time, so it was naturally crowded.

There were two seats left in the far corner of the bar. Xia Ran pulled Si Yi over there, and after sitting down, they ordered two more drinks and chatted casually. Neither of them had been to a bar in a long time, especially Si Yi. These past years, she had been constantly on the go and had almost forgotten what true relaxation felt like.

Although I came here because I was feeling down, I suddenly felt relaxed now that I'm actually sitting here with my good friend.

Xia Ran's alcohol tolerance was clearly much better than Si Yi's. After a few drinks, Si Yi felt a little dizzy and lightheaded. Suddenly, a hand appeared on her shoulder, and an unfamiliar male voice came from behind her, "Ladies, would you do me the honor of having a drink?"

Siyi squinted and turned her head, only to see a tall man standing behind her, his hand brazenly placed on her shoulder. She instinctively felt a strong aversion to the touch of a strange man, shifting her body slightly to subtly avoid him. "Excuse me, we've almost finished the drinks we bought ourselves."

"So disrespectful?" The man clearly had no intention of backing down. Instead, he stood directly between Xia Ran and Si Yi, his lewd smile making Si Yi even more nauseous. "It's just an invitation to have a drink. There's no need to be so hostile."

Siyi was already in a bad mood, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, she became even more agitated. Her face turned cold, and she was about to say something when Xia Ran, who had been silent all along, spoke first and coldly, "You dare to invite someone like me to drink? Ha, you've got some nerve."

Perhaps it was Xia Ran's arrogant tone that fueled the man's desire to conquer her. He curled his lips into a smirk, "Oh? You're so amazing, MM? I didn't realize. Now tell me why I didn't dare invite you for a drink? Tell me and scare me."

The dim light shone on Xia Ran's head, highlighting the distinctly aloof temperament between her brows. Perhaps it was because she had dealt with corpses for many years that she seemed to exude a kind of coldness from head to toe. Especially her cold smile, the curve of her lips was clearly mocking, yet it also had an indescribable cold and beautiful charm that was easy to find irresistible.

She narrowed her eyes, her tone calm, yet each word was spoken slowly and deliberately, "Didn't you notice the huge group of ghosts with incomplete internal organs following me? You dare come here with such heavy yin energy? Do you have enough yang energy? Don't end up dying a violent death. But seriously, handsome, if you really do die a violent death, I'll definitely help you find the truth. Generally speaking, even in dismemberment cases, I can piece the body back together, and my stitching skills are quite good. Of course, I've also studied anatomy and am very interested in the human body's internal organs..."

Siyi had just picked up her wine glass and taken a small sip when she heard Xia Ran's words. She couldn't help but pfft and almost choked on her wine. She barely managed to hold back and cooperate with the cold atmosphere that Xia Ran had deliberately created, without bursting into laughter.

Her words were so shocking that the man, who had been pretending to be a charming and debonair man, turned pale with fright.

Whether ghosts truly exist in this world is a question no one can definitively answer; belief is one thing, disbelief is another. But this guy, who tries to seduce every woman he sees, is clearly no good. As the saying goes, "If you haven't done anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking at your door in the middle of the night." Xia Ran speaks such bloody words with such calmness, and when he talks about dissecting corpses, he looks completely absorbed; anyone would be terrified.

"You, beautiful lady, are you kidding? You think I'm scared just because you say that?" The man's movements as he held the wine glass were clearly a little stiff, but he still stubbornly refused to admit it.

Xia Ran smiled slightly, "Of course, it's best if you're not afraid."

She reached out and gently placed her hand on the man's shoulder, her smile becoming even more alluring, but her words were chilling: "Handsome, let's get a room later. Actually, when I first saw you, I really wanted to examine your body. Luckily, I brought a knife with me today..."

"Holy shit, are you a fucking lunatic?!"

The man finally couldn't take it anymore, shoved Xia Ran away, and fled in panic.

Siyi couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter, while Xia Ran also chuckled as she leaned on the bar.

****

Until 11 p.m., Liu Qi would come to Jiang Yan every hour and a half to report on the situation in the city.

He had heard from his subordinates that Ye Siyi had gone into the bar with Xia Ran, which meant it had been about half an hour. After thinking for a moment, he knocked on the door and went in to report truthfully, "President Jiang, Ye Siyi... oh no, Madam, she went to the bar half an hour ago."
