Ye Tianxin used her hand to wipe away her tears.
Yes, the worst hasn’t been confirmed yet.
She should not be scaring herself.
She should focus and occupy her time so she would stop thinking of the worst scenario.
“Dad, I know. I’m tired. I want to rest.”
Xie Xuning asked Uncle He to prepare some food for Ye Tianxin. Ye Tianxin went back to her bedroom after eating.
Xie Xuning stood by the bedroom door, clenching his fist. His heart ached for Ye Tianxin.
“Xuning, you’re back.”
Xie Xuning went back to his room where Ye Linlang was resting.
“Tell me, did anything happen?” Ye Linlang sensed that something was not right with both father and daughter. She noticed everything happening within this household.
Xie Xuning took off his coat and hesitated as he held Ye Linlang’s hand. Finally, he told her the truth. “Yes, there was an explosion in Qingcang’s lab. As of now, we don’t have any news of him. We did not find him among the dead bodies in the lab, so don’t assume the worst just yet.”
Biting her lips, Ye Linlang could not believe what she just heard.
How could it be?
How did the explosion happen in the lab?
“Did someone cause it or was it a natural accident?”
Xie Xuning was silent for a minute before replying in a low voice, “It was caused by someone. We found some explosives in the lab. The impact would not be so great if it was an accident.”
“Does it have something to do with X?” Ye Linlang thought about the incident involving Ye Cuican’s allergy.
Xie Xuning nodded. “We found a red ‘X’ in the lab. Someone had also printed the letter ‘X’ behind a photograph of Qingcang.”
“So, the worst news could be that Qingcang was taken away by X’s men?”
“It’s not possible. I looked at the surveillance cameras around Capital University. There was nothing suspicious. I didn’t see anything unusual.”
“Tianxin…”
“Don’t worry about Tianxin. That girl has a strong personality. She may not be able to accept the news now, but I’m sure she will come to terms with it soon.”
Ye Tianxin lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. She still could not get to sleep.
Her eyes were red and swollen from crying the whole day.
The tears kept flowing down her face.
She took out her phone and looked through the history of calls and messages.
There was no news up till now.
Ye Tianxin wanted to call Li Qingcang, but there was no answer.
She expected as much.
Biting her lips, she thought for a while.
Finally, she called Qie Yiyan.
“Yiyan, you wanted me to go to the National Defense Military Academy. Do you mean it?”
Qie Yiyan knew about Li Qingcang’s disappearance. “Tianxin, are you serious about it? Is it because of Qingcang? Did you think it through?”
“I am very serious.”
“What about your studies?”
Qie Yiyan knew that Ye Tianxin was majoring in subjects in school.
Political science and medicine were both very demanding courses.
Ye Tianxin already had her hands full with these two subjects. If she took on an additional subject, she might not be able to take the stress. Qie Yiyan was not sure if she could manage her studies.
“I want to do them together.”
Qie Yiyan heard Ye Tianxin’s words and knew she was very determined. He was sure she would not change her mind.
“Tianxin, you have great potential to be a good soldier. For selfish reasons, I want you to join the military academy and take you under my wing. Tianxin, it’s really not a good time for you to do so now.” Qie Yiyan didn’t know what to do.
