Middle East, Lebanon.

The Middle East has been turbulent recently, with stormy weather and thunderstorms, as if the heavens themselves know that a tragedy is brewing among humans. The sky over Lebanon hasn’t cleared up for days, leaving Ye Ningyuan feeling uneasy, sensing that something significant was about to happen. He and Xu Nu are currently overseeing the situation in the Middle East. They are collaborating with Zhou Muhan from Britain on counterattack plans, uniting with Mo Ye and Mo Jue in Rome along with Ye Wei and Eleven. For this counterattack, Ye Ningyuan excluded North America's Dragon Gate; after all, it concerns the affairs of the First Terrorist Organization and the Mafia. The Dragon Gate must remain impartial to avoid unnecessary complications. Moreover, the Ye family’s involvement with the Dragon Gate's criminal business is minimal nowadays, mostly handled by the Tang and Lin families. It wouldn’t be appropriate for Ye Ningyuan to mobilize the Dragon Gate forces anyway, as dealing with M2 alone would require the combined efforts of the First Terrorist Organization and the Mafia.

The emotions between people are truly strange; there’s always some kind of helplessness involved. These past few days, Ye Ningyuan has felt rather despondent, thinking about how his father-daughter relationship with Ye Kelan over the past dozen years was so fleeting—it made him feel heartbroken and helpless. When Hai Lan was still alive, he often thought that she would be the most beautiful bridesmaid when he got married someday, watching as he held her hand and gave her to the person who loved her the most.

When Kelan was born, Ye Ningyuan believed it was a form of compensation from heaven for his past transgressions against his sister. So, he doted on Kelan without reason or restraint—Kelan was his treasure and son was grass; he was strict with his sons but indulgent towards her, even though she excelled despite the pampering. Two years ago, Kelan confided in him that she seemed to like someone.

When he asked who it was, Ye Kelan didn’t reveal a name.

This left Ye Ningyuan feeling melancholic; his daughter had grown up and now had her own secrets and emotional world. She had someone special in her life, which made him feel wistful about the passage of time. The thought that some brat could monopolize his daughter’s thoughts filled him with a sense akin to jealousy, unwilling to let go of his daughter into another man's care, thinking no one could love Kelan as much as he did.

Unexpectedly, Kaylan had been in a very bad mood for some time. One day, she suddenly came home and threw herself into his arms looking very uncomfortable. Ye San asked if it was because she had been dumped Kaylan didn’t answer; she just rested in his arms until she fell asleep.

Young Kaylan would run back home when something troubled her or when she got hurt, knowing that her daddy and mommy were her safest shelter. She knew they would give her the most selfless love and care. He guessed it must have been that stinky brat who hurt his precious daughter’s heart. Ye Ningyuan had an urge to destroy the boy for daring to harm his daughter.

His daughter was beautiful, capable, clever, and adorable. Ye Ningyuan felt that she was the third-best woman in the world after Anya and Xu Nuo. How could anyone be so blind as to hurt his daughter It was simply outrageous!

Later on, when Anya said that it was none of their business since Kaylan was still young, Ye Ningyuan realized he should just let things take their natural course. After all, everyone stumbles and falls in love.

Now his daughter was dead, leaving him feeling very depressed.

Kaylan had no chance of surviving after the plane was shot down mid-air. He could imagine the scene vividly and replay all the escape plans the First Terror Organization had taught him again and again. It was cruel yet full of hope.

He hoped Kaylan would survive, but every piece of knowledge he possessed wouldn’t be enough for her to escape in such a situation. She simply didn’t have a chance. Not only did she not get an opportunity to save herself, but even now that she was dead, he couldn’t mourn her properly.

He used to think that after so many years of marriage and with Xu Nuo disapproving of his penchant for violence, he had managed to rein in the killing intent and dark aura emanating from him. He thought he had become a calm person. Now that Kaylan was dead, however, he realized that once you were part of the underbelly of society, it would be hard to escape its influence no matter how long you lived. His nature did not align with the ordinary person’s hope for a trouble-free life and their tendency to forgive and tolerate others.

He wants m2 to be buried with Kelan!

Xunuo's hand touched his shoulder, and Yaningyuan looked up. Xunuo smiled slightly, "Stone, don't be too hard on yourself."

Yaningyuan held Xunuo's hand and pulled his wife to sit on his lap. He rested his head on Xunuo's shoulder; such an action spoke of how much he cherished her, even he himself wasn’t clear about it, "Nuonuo, if I had listened to you back then, maybe Kelan wouldn't have died."

Back then, Xunuo didn’t agree with Kelan joining the First Terror Organization. Kelan loved painting, and Xunuo hoped that after she could defend herself, she could develop her interests and become a painter; perhaps anything else was fine too, even doing nothing at all. The Ye family had enough money for Kelan to live a second-generation-rich lifestyle, no matter how extravagant she wanted to be. As long as she didn’t enter the First Terror Organization.

Girls are different from boys; very few people could adapt to the First Terror Organization like Ye Wei and Eleven did over the years. Xunuo hoped that her daughter could live a peaceful, uneventful life.

If Ye Fumo can do it, Kelan certainly can too.

However, Yaningyuan’s meaning was for Kelan to choose for herself. Since she had been trained in the First Terror Organization from childhood, naturally, she enjoyed its atmosphere and hoped to join the First Terror Organization.

Xu Nu wanted to organize something, and Ye Ningyuan also had his own reasons; later on, he followed Ye Kelan's lead.

"This is Kelan's choice. What does it have to do with you" Xu Nu said softly, "Choosing this path means seeing life and death clearly. I don't blame you, nor would Kelan blame you. You shouldn't blame yourself either."

Ye Ningyuan gave a bitter smile, his eyes slightly moistened, "I truly regret it now."

Xu Nu gently held him in her arms, giving him silent comfort. Ye Ningyuan was deeply immersed in sorrow, feeling suffocated; Xu Nu lightly kissed his lips and said softly, "Stone, I love you."

Ye Ningyuan chuckled lightly, a warm sense of emotion welling up inside him.

The number of times he heard 'I love you' from Xu Nu's mouth in this lifetime could be counted on one hand. She was someone who found it hard to say overly mushy things; even saying "I love you" in English would be impossible, let alone in Chinese. Despite coaxing Xu Nu to tell him she loved him countless times, even when he knew she did, hearing her say it always felt different—though he almost never succeeded.
