Chapter 178 -178: How Long Has It Been Since She Last Saw the Four Little Ones
Tang Yu, reckless and uncaring, headed out alone.
She refused to believe she couldn’t leave the Ye Mansion grounds!
Initially unfamiliar, after a few rides, she had nearly memorized the routes.
Just as she was contemplating this, she felt an oppressive force sneak up from behind her, and then suddenly lightweight, she was scooped into his arms.
“Ye Sihan, I’m going to kill you!” Tang Yu burst into tears.
“I’ll take you.”
Ye Sihan relented, placed her in the car, and they left the Ye Mansion.
Once in the car, Tang Yu distanced herself from Ye Sihan, sitting alone next to the door, far away from him, not even glancing in his direction.
Like enemies.
The Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the police station where Tang Yu learned Sister Xue’s body was already at the forensics department, waiting for her family to claim it.
There was no need for an autopsy; the coroner had inspected and found that all three bodies died from a single stab.
She dared not visit the forensics department, sitting alone in the rest room arranged by the police.
She refused Ye Sihan’s approach, fearing it would frighten Li Xue.
Though it was called a rest room, it had only a door, no windows.
Her chest felt tight, she wasn’t sure if it was due to the closed environment or the reality that was so suffocating she couldn’t catch her breath.
Then the tears began to fall, one by one.
She regretted, oh how she regretted…
Why did she run away from the Ye Mansion, giving birth to a child? Why didn’t she listen to Ye Sihan? Why did she have to resist… If she hadn’t left Ye Sihan, Li Xue wouldn’t have died.
Her throat slit.
Such a cruel method.
The killer was right outside the police station, yet she was powerless to do anything.
The clock on the wall showed it was nearly five o’clock, the sky outside must have darkened by now.
With the passage of time, her anxiety grew, an unease she didn’t know how to face Li Xue’s parents with.
Outside the door, Ye Sihan stood silently, witnessing all of Tang Yu’s despair and pain.
He hadn’t disappeared, just remained in the shadows.
Half an hour later, Li Xue’s parents appeared, their hair greyed, a transformation that could have happened overnight after hearing the tragic news.
Seeing their daughter’s body, the elderly couple collapsed on her in a flood of tears, until the mother fainted on the floor and was later revived by the forensic staff.
The father was utterly despondent.
Standing to one side, Tang Yu’s face was covered in tears, never a dry moment.
When leaving the police station, the resigned parents only had one request, they didn’t want to cremate their daughter, as if she were only sleeping.
Thus, the police immediately agreed.
This agreement, of course, was out of respect for Ye Sihan.
The police even took care of everything and escorted them back home in a patrol car.
Standing by the road, Tang Yu watched as the car disappeared into the darkness.
Her heart was in agony, tears streaming down her face.
She had promised to find the killer for Li Xue’s parents, yet the murderer stood right in front of her, and she couldn’t say anything…
“Tang Yu!” Wei Yuzhu, in a rush, came running over from the taxi. “Where is Xiaoxue?
“How did you get here?” Tang Yu hadn’t informed Wei Yuzhu.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to tell her, but she simply hadn’t thought of it.
The sudden turn of events had left her overwhelmed.
“Today after work, I went to the apartment to find Xiaoxue and learned what happened. How could this be? I can’t believe it, is this real?” Wei Yuzhu tried to steady her emotions but tears were already in her eyes.
“Just now… Uncle and Aunt took Sister Xue back.” Tang Yu sobbed.
Wei Yuzhu was stunned. If it were false, why would her parents have to come and take her back? Tears rolled down her cheeks.
“Why… how could this happen? I saw her a few days ago, and she was fine.”
“Yeah, fine…” Tang Yu turned her face away, her gaze full of hatred towards the man standing beside the Rolls-Royce.
If it wasn’t for him, how could Sister Xue possibly have died…
“Has the murderer been found?” Wei Yuzhu asked.
Tang Yu’s wet lashes trembled as she averted her gaze, gently shaking her head, “But I believe that he will definitely be brought to justice.”
“Is that Mr. Ye?” Wei Yuzhu asked. “Mr. Ye has such great influence in the capital, he will surely help find the murderer.”
Those were words Tang Yu absolutely dared not agree with, “You just got off work and must be tired, go back and rest early. I’ll let you know if there’s any news.”
“Okay.”
Wei Yuzhu left.
Tang Yu still stood on the roadside, lost in the night.
Gazing into the darkness, she felt utterly confused about what to do next. One thing was certain; she wouldn’t return to Ye Mansion.
“Get in the car.” A deep commanding voice sounded from behind her, the overwhelming presence pressing against her back.
“I’m staying at Sister Xue’s apartment.” Tang Yu tried to hail a cab, but was forcefully pulled back by Ye Sihan, igniting her anger as she struggled fiercely, “What are you doing? Don’t touch me! Let go!”
No matter how hard she fought, she was ultimately forced into the car by Ye Sihan.
“Please, just leave me alone!” Tang Yu’s eyes brimmed with tears, in extreme agony, “I can’t kill you, but can’t you just stop forcing me to face you? Can’t you let me have some peace, to breathe? I… I feel like I’m suffocating… it hurts so much… Why did you have to kill Sister Xue? I don’t understand, can’t you be normal? Madman…”
Ye Sihan’s dark eyes cooled instantly, striking like a wild animal—
“Ah!” Tang Yu’s body pressed into the seat, panting in shock as she looked up at the beast-like man above her, attempting to resist, her gaze defiant, “What now? Are you going to kill me too?”
Ye Sihan, exuding strong aggressiveness, grabbed her jaw with one hand, “I’ve told you, you won’t die; you’ll just wish you had.”
Tang Yu stared at him with wide eyes, tears silently slipping down from the corners of her eyes.
Ye Sihan’s dark eyes were profound and sharp. As he watched her tears, his grip on her jaw loosened slightly, “The four kids are at Ye Mansion. Are you going?”
Tang Yu froze, her tense body going limp at that instant, like a hedgehog retracting its spines.
How long had it been since she last saw the little ones?
It was from the little ones that Li Xue learned about her, evidently, they had been to Ye Mansion, probably spoke of not having seen their mom for so long.
Throughout the journey, Tang Yu didn’t utter another word.
Her unwillingness to oppose a visit to Ye Mansion didn’t mean she wanted to see Ye Sihan for even a moment.
She gazed out of the car window the entire time.
And Ye Sihan watched her, shrouded in darkness, only his dark eyes were especially profound.
On the road, Tang Yu managed to calm her emotions, so by the time she got out of the car, she was much more composed.
It was only when she saw the children, who couldn’t wait to come running out, waving their little legs adorably and presenting a sight so familiar, that a slight curve formed on her lips.
“Jie Jie!”
“Jie Jie!”
“Jie Jie!”

“Jie Jie!”
The previous ‘mama’ had been easily replaced with ‘Jie Jie’, without any pressure.
All four flung themselves at her, making Tang Yu step back a full pace.
Had it not been for a strong hand supporting her back, she would have been knocked to the ground.
After steadying herself, Tang Yu stepped away from Ye Sihan’s hand, crouched down, and embraced them all together.
She thought it was just a hug, what could it represent, after all?
