A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Seeing Ye Yao open her eyes, Ye Yun excitedly called out, "Little Yao..."

Ye Yao's lips moved, but no sound came out; however, her eyes were clearly fixed on her.

"Xiao Yao!" Ye Yun could no longer hold back, tears streaming down her face. She grabbed Ye Yao's hand, crying and laughing incoherently, "You're awake...you're really awake..."

After a long while, Ye Yao finally spoke, her voice a little hoarse: "Where...is this?"

"In the hospital," Ye Yun said, wiping away her tears, "you've been in a coma for over two months."

Ye Yao paused, then suddenly asked, "Where is Ye Xuan?"

Ye Yun's expression immediately darkened, and his voice lowered: "He...didn't make it."

After saying that, he quickly added, "But don't be too sad."

Why should I be sad?

These words completely baffled Ye Yun.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Thinking her younger sister had just woken up and might not be fully conscious yet, she said softly, "I'll go get the doctor."

Ye Yao grabbed her: "Sister, don't call the doctor yet, I have something to tell you."

"You speak, I'm listening."

Do you know how I got into the car accident?

Everyone wants to know the answer to this question.

The dashcam footage showed the car suddenly going out of control while driving smoothly, but a thorough inspection of the vehicle later ruled out any malfunctions.

This matter remains a mystery.

Ye Yao slowly said, "It was Ye Xuan. We had an argument in the car, and then the car went out of control."

"A dispute? What exactly is it about?"

"Did you see those two paternity test reports in the car?"

Ye Yun nodded: "We saw it. Although we haven't found Xiao Xuan's child, we found one of his ex-girlfriends, Liu Ruyan, who is now pregnant and about to give birth."

Ye Yao frowned: "What do you mean?"

"After you and Xiao Xuan had the car accident, we found the two paternity test reports in the car. Later, after sorting out Xiao Xuan's relationships, we found this Liu Ruyan."

"But those two reports are from Ye Xuan and Su Fan."

Ye Yun was completely dumbfounded: "How does this have to do with Su Fan?"

"I don't know the specifics, but that's what Ye Xuan said himself. One of the two reports was from Ye Xuan and his aunt and uncle, and the other was from Su Fan and his aunt and uncle."

Ye Yun's mind went blank for a moment, unable to process what he meant: "What...does that mean?"

"Haven't you noticed that Ye Xuan doesn't resemble our family at all? On the contrary, Su Fan looks a lot like my uncle back then."

"This...how is this possible?" Ye Yun's voice changed.

"That's why I argued with him in the car that day."

Ye Yun stood there, stunned, and began to quickly process Ye Yao's words in his mind.

The more she thought about it, the more horrified she became.

At this moment, Ye Yao said again, "Do you know why I was in Ye Xuan's car that day?"

Ye Yun looked at her, and for a moment he didn't know how to ask.

"The real purpose of the investment fund that Ye Xuan set up back then," Ye Yao said, word by word, was to transfer assets and, incidentally, to saddle the Ye family with a mountain of debt. He dragged me into it as a guarantee so that he could leave the country safely.

Why did he do that?

"He wanted to wait until Su Fan returned to the Ye family, only to inherit a mess of debts."

A long silence fell over the ward.

After a long silence, Ye Yun finally managed to speak with difficulty: "Are you... sure?"

"You want to ask about Su Fan's identity, right?" Ye Yao shook her head. "I only heard it from Ye Xuan, so I'm not sure about the specifics."

Ye Yun took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down: "The key to this matter is to find out if those two paternity test reports are genuine or not."

At this moment, Ye Yao suddenly changed the subject: "Do you remember the song Su Fan wrote for Xiaoxiao before my accident?"

Why are you suddenly asking this?

"There's a line in it that goes, 'A toad dressed in golden robes sits in a high hall with a sanctimonious air.' It was after that song was released that Ye Xuan began his actions. I don't know if it's a coincidence or if there's some connection."

Ye Yun gasped, "You mean... Su Fan also knows about this?"

"I'm not sure, but we can confirm it."

"How can you be sure?"

"Take your uncle and aunt's hair, along with Su Fan's and Ye Xuan's, and do another paternity test."

"But how do we get Su Fan's hair?"

"Just call him over, and while you're at it, sound him out."

Ye Yun thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call him right now."

So Ye Yun picked up his phone and dialed Su Fan's number.

As soon as the call connected, Ye Yun asked, "Is it a convenient time to talk?"

Su Fan asked, "What's wrong, Sister Yun?"

"Would it be convenient for you to come to the hospital?"

"What happened?"

"I'd like to ask you to come over for a bit." Ye Yun still didn't specify what it was about.

Su Fan didn't press further and agreed, "Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Su Fan said to Zhang Lingyuan, "Master, I'm going to the hospital."

Zhang Lingyuan held his teacup, not even lifting his eyelids, and slowly said, "Go ahead. What's meant to be will be. Some roads, no matter how winding they are, will eventually lead to you. Once you get there, stand up straight and face it."

Su Fan paused in his steps.

He had a feeling that his master's words had a hidden meaning, and coupled with the fact that Ye Yun had asked him to go to the hospital alone instead of inviting his master and senior brothers together, he had a vague feeling that something was going on.

He suddenly thought of the matter of identity.

Su Fan shook his head, suppressing his turbulent thoughts, and went straight out to the hospital.

After Su Fan left, Xu Xingzhi, who was standing to the side, watched his retreating figure and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Master, what about Junior Brother...?"

Zhang Lingyuan said, "It's all fate. A person's origin and destination are already written the way from the moment they are born. There may be a thousand opportunities and ten thousand twists and turns in between, and there may seem to be countless forks in the road, but in fact, they all lead to the same place. You can't hide from it, and you can't avoid it. Since you can't avoid it, then let it go through it on its own. If you get through this, it's a perfect ending. If you don't, it's an obsession that no one else can take your place for.

Su Fan arrived at the hospital, pushed open the door to the ward, and immediately saw Ye Yao leaning against the headboard, quietly looking at him.

Su Fan's face lit up with joy: "Sister Yao, you're awake! Should I call my master and senior brother over to take a look at you?"

Ye Yao said, "No need, I just want to talk to you first."

"I'm not a doctor. When it comes to medical treatment, you should find a professional."
