Chapter 1026: You have suffered!

Ye Chen looked at the photo, and his thoughts couldn't help but return to that night many days ago, the night of heavy snow in Kyoto.

It was under that heavy snow that he saved Ito Nanako, and also, out of a meddlesome hand, saved Su Zhifei and Su Zhiyu.

Thinking of this, he sighed in his heart and replied to Nanako, "Thank you, I wish you a Happy New Year too!"

Regarding what Nanako said about it snowing in Kyoto, Ye Chen did not make any response.

He knew that he shouldn't have too much emotional exchange with Nanako.

Back then, he felt that she shouldn't be trapped for life by the harm brought to her by Qin Aoxue, so he wanted to cure her.

Now, she had recovered, and he had saved her life; logically speaking, they were completely even.

If they got too involved, he was afraid it would lead to complications.

Ye Chen himself was also clear that for those women who liked him, he might not be able to give them any commitment, and Nanako was the same.

Therefore, maintaining some appropriate distance could also be considered being responsible to others.

Ito Nanako was indeed a very intelligent girl; from Ye Chen's reply, she could see Ye Chen's inner thoughts.

Therefore, she replied to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen-kun must be spending the holiday with his family, so Nanako won't disturb you anymore! Wishing you a Happy Holiday again!"

After replying to this message, her heart was very sad.

She knew that today was a traditional festival for the Chinese, and the most important festival of the year, which was why she sent Ye Chen a WeChat blessing.

At the same time, it was a coincidence that she had just accompanied her father to Kyoto for recuperation these past two days, and it just so happened that there was a heavy snow in Kyoto tonight, so she immediately thought of the night Ye Chen descended like a divine soldier.

Thinking of that night, she missed Ye Chen even more.

Therefore, she took the opportunity of the New Year's blessing to share the heavy snow in Kyoto with him.

But she didn't expect that he wouldn't respond with even half a word.

Although she was very disappointed in her heart, Ito Nanako could still understand. She knew Ye Chen was a married man, and even if she liked Ye Chen more, Ye Chen still had to keep a certain distance from her.

Therefore, she put away her phone, sat alone on the wooden steps by the courtyard, and stared blankly at the falling heavy snow.

Ito Yuhiko, whose legs had been amputated, slowly approached at this time, controlling his electric wheelchair.

The sound of the wheelchair didn't startle Ito Nanako.

It was just because, at this moment, all the attention in her mind was not on everything in front of her or beside her, but on the distant Ye Chen.

Seeing his daughter staring blankly at the heavy snow, Ito Yuhiko couldn't help but sigh.

How could he not understand his own daughter?

Ito Yuhiko had long seen that his daughter's heart belonged to Ye Chen and that she kept thinking about him. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but feel a bit heartbroken.

Therefore, he coughed and called out, "Nanako."

Only then did Ito Nanako come back to her senses and said with some embarrassment, "Father, why have you come out?"

Ito Yuhiko smiled slightly and said, "I saw you hadn't gone in for a long time, so I came out to see you."

Ito Nanako hurriedly said, "Then let's go back. It's quite cold outside, don't catch a cold."

"It doesn't matter." Ito Yuhiko smiled and said, "Nanako, some things cannot be forced, and even less can they be rushed; one must take them slowly."

Ito Nanako hurriedly covered up, "Dad, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand..."

Ito Yuhiko laughed, "Ye Chen is a good man, and what's rare is that his ability is also very strong. Such a man is worth you waiting a few more years."

Ito Nanako's face instantly turned red with shame.

However, she didn't immediately deny it, nor did she run away on the spot, but instead put her hands together in front of her, bowed deeply, and said, "Father, Nanako understands!"

Ito Yuhiko smiled with relief and said, "I am old, and I feel like I can't stand even a little cold wind. I'll go back to rest first, you should go to sleep early too."

Ito Nanako hurriedly said, "Father, let me see you off!"

Ito Yuhiko waved his hand, "No need, you like to contemplate, so contemplate for a while longer."

After saying this, he controlled the electric wheelchair himself, turned half a circle on the spot, and slowly returned to his room.

Ito Nanako watched her father's back disappear at the end of the corridor, feeling that her face still carried a scorching temperature, so she gently covered the thick snow with her hands, and then used her hands to cover her face.

The cold hands lowered the temperature of her cheeks quite a bit, and also allowed Ito Nanako's inner heart to gradually return to calm.

A moment later, she stretched out her hand again and used her fingers to write two beautiful Chinese characters in the snow; these two characters were Ye Chen's name.

Afterwards, she rested her chin on her hands, watching the snowflakes fall one by one onto those two characters, until the two characters became more and more blurred, and finally disappeared.

At this moment, she slowly stood up and returned to her room.

At the same time.

In Osaka, Japan, only a few dozen kilometers away from Kyoto.

A one-armed woman, led by several Japanese Self-Defense Force soldiers, arrived at the Self-Defense Force base located in Osaka.

This one-armed woman's surname was He, and she was the legitimate daughter of the He family, one of the four great ancient martial arts families in the country.

She was Su Ruoli's biological mother, He Yingxiu.

Because Japan's time zone was one hour ahead of the country, it was already ten o'clock at night in Osaka at this moment.

Led by the soldiers, He Yingxiu finally entered the Self-Defense Force base after passing through strict security checks.

Afterwards, the soldiers led her from inside a building, taking a high-speed elevator all the way down.

The high-speed elevator stopped at a depth of fifty meters underground.

This was the Osaka Self-Defense Force's three-defense underground base.

The "three defenses" in civilian terms are waterproof, dustproof, and drop-proof.

But the "three defenses" in military terms refer to defense against nuclear weapons, biological and chemical weapons, and chemical weapons.

Therefore, this three-defense base was the most heavily guarded area of the Self-Defense Force in Osaka.

Now, this three-defense base had been put to other uses, including Su Ruoli, all fifty-plus experts of the Su family were imprisoned here. The defense here was strict, which could effectively prevent them from breaking out of prison.

After He Yingxiu was brought in, she was directly arranged into a sealed room.

The iron door of this room was a full twenty centimeters thick, even sturdier than a bank vault.

After she sat down in the room, a Japanese soldier reminded her in a low voice, "The person will be here in a moment, you only have five minutes."

He Yingxiu hurriedly nodded and said seriously, "Thank you!"

The soldier didn't say anything more and turned to leave the room. One minute later, a young woman with metal shackles on her hands and feet was brought in by two soldiers.

This young woman's expression carried a bit of gloom, and her eyes were full of coldness.

However, after she entered the room, those cold eyes immediately widened in surprise, and afterwards, two lines of hot tears rolled down.

She looked at He Yingxiu, who was also crying silently in front of her, and called out with a choked voice, "Mom..."

He Yingxiu took two quick steps, held her in her arms with one hand, and while gently stroking the back of her head, said with extreme love, "Ruoli, you have suffered..." ===== CHAPTER 1027 =====
