Chapter 301: Tianxin, I Am Coming for You! (4)
Qie Yiyan looked at Xie Xinghe. He was strongly against letting Li Qingcang behave rashly and without restraint.
“Xinghe, convince your brother-in-law. We really cannot land a chopper in this weather.”
Li Qingcang grew even angrier when he heard Qie Yiyan say that. Since he knew that the weather was bad, then why did he leave Ye Tianxin and a few other weak and helpless girls on that abandoned island?
“Qie Yiyan, you are too much,” Li Qingcang sighed. Then, he turned to look at Xie Xinghe and said, “Brother-in-law.”
Xie Xinghe paused for a moment before saying, “Have you really thought this through?”
Have you really considered this?
Do you know what kind of danger you could possibly encounter if you go and look for her under such adverse weather conditions?
“I have thought this through,” Li Qingcang confirmed emotionally. “I have you all, but she only has me.”
In his mind, Li Qingcang really wanted to tell his brother-in-law that ‘I have too much, but she has only me. The only thing that I can do is to try my best to give her everything she might need. I want her to be like me, to lack nothing.’
“I will go and arrange things,” Xie Xinghe replied and then turned around to leave.
Qie Yiyan was so angry that he stomped his feet. He was a fat man, and when he stomped his feet, the floorboards seemed to shake as well.
Shouhu looked at Qie Yiyan helplessly. If Ye Tianxin were to really leave with Li Qingcang and the others, wouldn’t that mean that all the efforts they had put into this beforehand would go to waste?
He couldn’t accept that!
They had spent so much time and energy on Ye Tianxin!
After Xie Xinghe and Li Qingcang had left, Shouhu looked at Qie Yiyan. He waited anxiously for Qie Yiyan’s next order.
“Captain Qie?”
After a moment, Qie Yiyan turned to look at Yan Lili. He said to Yan Lili, “Instructor Yan, you still remember the task I assigned you, don’t you? I don’t care how you get to achieve it, but you have to make sure Ye Tianxin stays.”
Yan Lili’s head hurt when she heard that. How could she possibly make Ye Tianxin stay with Li Qingcang around?
Everyone in the army knew that Li Qingcang was very protective of those he cared about.
Furthermore, the person they were talking about was Ye Tianxin.
“I will try my best.” Yan Lili was not confident at all.
Qie Yiyan sighed. He turned around and went to the office to make a call.
The moment the call went through, Qie Yiyan said, “Sir, I would like to ask you for a favor.”
Xie Xuning replied with a solemn expression, “Talk. Why are you calling me so late at night?”
“Sir, I quite like that lady Ye Tianxin. She is calm, intelligent, and has wits. She is a rare talent. Sir, help me to get her to stay.”
Xie Xuning scolded him gently, “Do you know that Li Qingcang complained about you to me? Do you know that you will have to be punished for what you have done? The National Defense University does not select its cadets like that. You are an instructor, a teacher.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Sir, you are right. It doesn’t matter even if I receive a bad mark on my record if you get Ye Tianxin to stay. No, it wouldn’t even matter even if you were to punish me.”
Qie Yiyan was obedient and tame towards Xie Xuning.
“Qie Yiyan, I can’t help you with this. Ye Tianxin gets to decide if she wants to stay or not. And you can’t interfere either. This is Ye Tianxin’s life, and she should be the one making the decision.”
Qie Yiyan felt like crying. His men had waited for Li Qingcang to leave before they had brought Ye Tianxin over. Who would have known that Ye Tianxin was so important to Li Qingcang? If he did not know Li Qingcang well enough, he would have suspected that the relationship between Li Qingcang and Ye Tianxin was not so innocent and simple as Li Qingcang had claimed.
