Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Ye Lai sighed and looked at Xue Xi. “Xixi, do you know what Grandpa experienced when he was young?”
Xue Xi shook her head.
Ye Lai lowered his head. “At that time, the special department did not have complete measures and could not immediately connect all the espers in the country. When I realized that I was different, I was still young and ignorant. I revealed this matter everywhere…”
At that time, Ye Lai was only seven or eight years old. He thought that he was invincible.
Later, he was captured by someone and locked up with other children in a dark basement. They extracted his blood and studied his special ability.
They were forced to do all kinds of experiments every day. There were electric shocks and injections.
Under such torture, he sometimes thought that he was going to die.
Until later…
Even though Ye Lai was already in his sixties or seventies, he would still have nightmares whenever he thought about the ten years he was imprisoned. He would wake up from his dreams many times.
Listening to his story, Xue Xi suddenly understood why her maternal grandfather would go against the entire human race.
After experiencing such despair, he did not have any psychological abnormalities. He could already be considered to be very strong.
He had established a superpower organization and originally wanted to give the espers a home, but this world still did not let them off.
When Xue Xi was born, she was deemed as a disaster. She was prophesied to destroy the entire human race in the future.
For her, they had to change the aims of the Superhuman Organization.
Only when espers controlled humans would Xue Xi not be chased.
However, they failed in that operation. Ye Lai lost his rationality and became a lunatic. After that, he could only hide and live a stable life.
His granddaughter had also been abandoned in the orphanage for 18 years.
Even though they saw their daughter in pain, they did not dare to send Xue Xi back.
Until…
The special department in China became ruled by Xiang Huai.
After he led China to its peak, he also increased the national surveillance network and discovered Xue Xi’s existence.
Hence, after thinking about it, they could only send Xue Xi home.
The goal was that, even if Xue Xi was really going to be eliminated by the special department, she could at least feel the kinship. They were the ones who’d sent Xue Sheng an anonymous email!
Xue Xi’s feelings were indifferent. She had never known that her relatives had done so much for her.
She took a deep breath. “Grandpa, then what about the one on me? The curse where I’ll die if I don’t fall in love.”
Ye Lai sighed. “That’s a psychological suggestion we gave you.”
Xue Xi paused.
Ye Lai coughed. “No one is General Xiang’s match, and only General Xiang can make you feel a sense of danger. What we’re thinking was that when you encounter danger, if you can fall in love with the other party and trap them with love, it’s also a way to save yourself.”
Xue Xi: “!!”
Hence, from the start, she thought that she had been schemed against by Xiang Huai, cursing her with death if she did not fall in love. However, Xiang Huai had actually been schemed against by them?
No wonder Canine Teeth was so angry when she rejected Xiang Huai.
The corners of Xue Xi’s lips twitched.
She shook her head and said, “How could Xiang Huai have been tricked by this? This method is nothing to him.”
Ye Lai smiled. “Indeed, he’s not a person that could be tricked, but General Xiang is a very righteous person. He has the light of justice on him. I believed that even if he found out that you have the duplication special ability, as a Chinese citizen, he will still consider it and not hand you over for the sake of rewards. As long as you guys can have some friendship under this premise, your life would be stable.
“Xixi, in this world, only love can’t be defeated. It is also a proven fact that love saved you.”
If not for the fact that she would die if she did not fall in love, she would not have been unable to do anything to Xiang Huai after losing her rationality, thus giving him the chance to get close to her and seize her special ability.
At that time, facing a killing machine, Xiang Huai’s only choice would have been to kill her!
Ye Lai sighed. “Actually, this psychological suggestion would only have been useful during normal times and has long disappeared.”
Disappeared?
Xue Xi paused.
How could that be?!
However, on careful thought, it seemed that ever since she entered the special department, although she rarely met Xiang Huai, her heart rarely ached.
She looked at Ye Lai in surprise. “After you lost your rationality, you could not do anything to Xiang Huai. Your heart hurts not because you will die if you don’t fall in love, but because you really fell in love with him.”
Xue Xi’s eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness.
Ye Lai also sighed. “I didn’t expect General Xiang to make such a huge sacrifice in order to save you. He exchanged his life with yours. You became everyone’s pride, but he became a rat on the streets.”
So this was love.
They could both sacrifice for each other.
Xue Xi lowered her head.
Ye Lai extended his hand and looked at her. “General Xiang should not be despised by everyone. Xixi, capture me and send me to the International Court to be sentenced! This way, you can also clear General Xiang’s name. As for the duplicating special ability, I think that with General Xiang’s current skills, no one will dare to touch him in the short term.”
After all, Xiang Huai was a walking atomic bomb.
Whoever dared to hurt him would have to die.
Xiang Huai had also considered this, right?
He knew that his life was not in danger, so he handed China to her and hid alone to heal.
But how could she let Xiang Huai bear the infamy?
Xue Xi stared at Ye Lai. “Grandpa, do you trust me?”
Ye Lai smiled. “I’m already at this age. Does it matter if I trust you or not? Xixi, I’ve long since stopped thinking about life and death.”
Xue Xi smiled. “Alright, Grandpa. Let’s work together to put on a show! I’ll use my life to protect you.”
No matter how many mistakes her grandfather had made, it was all for her.
She would not allow anything to happen to her grandfather.
…
That day, an important piece of news shocked the entire world.
Vulture had been arrested by the new person-in-charge of the special department in China. It turned out that he was Xue Xi’s maternal grandfather. Xue Xi placed justice before family and brought him to the International Court of Justice.
For a moment, all the espers were in an uproar.
