Outside the basement of the Capital Building.
Jing Fei secretly drove and led them here.
Only Jing Fei, Xue Xi, Ye Lai, and Song Wenman were present. The rest had already been sent back by Jing Fei.
When he arrived at the door, Jing Fei said, “From that day on, Boss appeared to have run away, but he actually returned here. After all, this is the only place in the world that can block the energy radiation he can’t control.”
Xue Xi had long guessed it.
She had never come to visit Xiang Huai because she knew that the eyes of the international espers were all on her. She could not expose Xiang Huai’s location.
.
After saying that, Jing Fei turned to look at Song Wenman. “Did you just say that you can save Boss now?”
Just now, while they were feeling regretful, Song Wenman had spoken softly. That sentence had reached only Xue Xi and Jing Fei’s ears and no one else’s.
Song Wenman nodded.
Xue Xi frowned and looked at Ye Lai, only to see him sigh. “I’ve already taken responsibility for this matter. Why are you doing this?”
Song Wenman’s eyes turned red again. “For the children.”
Their conversation baffled Jing Fei, but Xue Xi widened her eyes.
She looked at Song Wenman in disbelief. “Grandma, you… you…”
“That’s right. I’m Vulture.”
Song Wenman’s words were like a sudden clap of thunder, shocking everyone present.
Jing Fei looked at her in disbelief. “What?”
Song Wenman held Ye Lai’s shoulders. “He’s been kind and gentle since he was young. How could he have done so many cruel things? Actually, I am Vulture.”
Ye Lai looked at Xue Xi. “Actually, I’ve only told you half of the story back then.”
He was captured for research and lived in pain every day.
Later, someone who claimed to be the Little Demoness saved him.
At that time, Song Wenman was really bad. She’d barged into that organization and killed those people who studied espers because it was fun for her to kill people.
Later, when she saved Ye Lai, she also pitied him.
After that, Ye Lai became her sidekick.
Ye Lai had a gentle and peaceful personality. Since he had been abused, he should not have been gentle.
Song Wenman was an orphan who’d had no one to teach her morals. In the end, she was slowly subdued by Ye Lai.
The two of them got together and had a daughter. They became university professors and lived a good life.
Song Wenman no longer cared about the matters of the Superhuman Organization.
Until Xue Xi was born.
Her ability to dulicate was so powerful. In order to protect her granddaughter, Song Wenman had once again taken charge of the Superhuman Organization. She’d killed people who fought against them…
Later, when Ye Lai tried to stop her, he went crazy after she accidentally injured him.
Song Wenman felt guilty and let go of her hatred. She handed the Superhuman Organization to Ji Silin and accompanied her husband.
They spent seventeen years together like that.
Song Wenman sighed. “Actually, you’ve been pretending to be crazy, right?”
Ye Lai held her hand. Both of them were old and there were wrinkles on the back of their hands, but his eyes were still calm. “If I hadn’t pretended to be crazy, how could I have made you stop?”
If Song Wenman had not stopped, it would have become impossible for them to integrate with the special department.
It would have been even more impossible for Xue Xi and Xiang Huai to be together.
Song Wenman said softly, “But in the end, you still took the blame for me.”
Ye Lai smiled. “Wenman, do you still remember what you said when you saved me back then?”
He was in a dark cell. Blood had just been extracted from his body, and he was extremely weak.
Sounds of fighting came from outside. A graceful girl in black opened the cell door. Her words were arrogant and crisp. “Hey, are you dead? If you’re not, follow me. From now on, you’re mine. You owe me a life, and you have to return it to me in the future, understand?”
Her back was facing the light, and on her charming face, her eyes were shining with craftiness.
It was love at first sight.
Ye Lai’s life belonged to her forever.
He smiled. “My special ability is actually an over-developed brain. This kind of special ability is useless. It’s fine if it’s gone, because at least it had protected you.”
Song Wenman’s eyes turned red. “It also saved Xixi and Xiao Xiang.”
Step by step, she walked toward the basement door and knocked. “Come out.”
Buzz…
The metal door slowly opened, and out walked a man whose entire body was emitting red flames, like a fireball was rolling all over it.
As he stepped out, an invisible energy wave spread.
“Shield.”
Song Wenman used her special ability.
The energy all over the tall man in front of her was suddenly retracted. The magma-like red marks slowly disappeared…
In the end, Xiang Huai’s eye-catching face was revealed.
He looked down at his hands and then at Song Wenman in surprise.
Song Wenman said, “I didn’t expect it to really work.”
Xiang Huai had already retracted his gaze and was looking at Xue Xi.
Xue Xi coughed.
She felt that her maternal grandmother’s special ability might have only blocked his body and not his eyes. Otherwise, why did it seem like there were radiation waves shining from his eyes, making her cheeks burn?
However, she did not look away.
She watched as Xiang Huai walked toward her one step at a time until he stopped in front of her. He chuckled and said, “Little kid, I’m back.”
Song Wenman stood beside Ye Lai.
The two of them looked at each other.
Song Wenman said, “Back then, you said that love can resolve hatred. I believe you now. It’s Xiang Huai’s love that saved Xixi’s life.”
Jing Fei interrupted, “Grandpa, Grandma, the love between you guys also saved General Xiang!”
So what if there were to be more schemes?
The Great Elder had schemed his entire life. In the end, he probably did not expect that the special ability that he’d used his life to exchange for was not Vulture’s.
Moreover, it was his arrogance that had made him say those words regarding Xiang Huai’s weakness before he died.
After all, no one expected that Vulture’s shielding ability would save Xiang Huai, right?
