Chapter 2578

Hearing this voice, the three women looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Ye Chen had already walked into the Sky Garden.

The expressions of the three women all became involuntarily excited at this moment.

However, because they knew Ye Chen was talking about Su Su Zhiyu's brother, Su Ruoli and Ito Nanako only smiled at Ye Chen and did not speak.

Su Su Zhiyu, while happy, quickly confirmed with Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye, are you saying that you can bring my brother back?"

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded and said calmly, "But he can only attend the wedding. After the wedding ends, he must continue his unfinished punishment."

Su Su Zhiyu asked subconsciously, "Then... then Mr. Ye, if my brother comes back to attend the wedding, will he return to the position where he was picked up after the wedding, or will everything start from the beginning?"

Ye Chen smiled, "Of course, he will return to where he came from. How could I let him start from the beginning?"

Su Su Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Ye, for your magnanimity. Then I will arrange for someone to pick him up..."

Ye Chen waved his hand, "I'll let Chen Zekai pick him up. Chen Zekai's men have been keeping an eye on your brother's movements, so they can pick him up at any time. Besides, he has been walking for so long, sleeping in the open every day, and has no way to contact anyone, so it would be hard for you to find him for a while."

"Okay..." Su Su Zhiyu nodded and said respectfully, "Then I will trouble Mr. Ye."

Ye Chen said, "I will arrange it now. If it's fast, he can arrive in Jin Ling tonight."

Su Su Zhiyu gathered her courage and asked, "That... Mr. Ye... can I beg you for one more thing..."

Ye Chen nodded, "Go ahead."

Su Su Zhiyu pursed her lips and said softly, "You also know that my mother has been living in Jin Ling since the divorce. During this time, she has also missed my brother very much, so I hope that when my brother comes back this time, you can let him meet my mother as well."

Ye Chen readily agreed and said, "No problem. I will have Old Chen bring him back before tonight. From today until August 10th, he can move freely within the jurisdiction of Jin Ling City. At 8:00 AM on August 10th, just have him report to Old Chen at Bai Jinhangong on time."

Su Su Zhiyu did not expect that although the wedding date for her father and He Yingxiu was on the 8th, Ye Chen had given him an extra two days. She was naturally very grateful, so she said without hesitation, "Okay, Mr. Ye, I will stay in Jin Ling and keep a close eye on him to ensure he reports to Bai Jinhangong at 8:00 AM on August 10th!"

At this time, Chen Zekai learned that Ye Chen had arrived at the hotel, so he came over upon hearing the news. Ye Chen greeted him and asked, "Old Chen, where is Young Master Su Su Zhifei now?"

Chen Zekai was slightly stunned, then glanced at Su Su Zhiyu and said somewhat awkwardly, "Young Master Su has walked about one-third of the way and has already reached San Qin Province."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Arrange for someone to bring Young Master Su back. The faster the efficiency, the better. However, remember to mark the location where you pick him up, and send Young Master Su back to the same spot after August 10th."

"Okay." Chen Zekai said without hesitation, "I will arrange for local men to take a helicopter to pick up Young Master Su. We have a plane at Chang'an Airport. Once Young Master Su arrives, the plane can take off and bring him directly back."

"Okay." Ye Chen instructed, "Go and arrange it as soon as possible."

Soon, a helicopter took off from the suburbs of Chang'an, the capital of San Qin Province, and flew rapidly toward the southeast.

The straight-line distance from here to Su Su Zhifei's location was no more than forty kilometers. With the helicopter at full power, it would only take about ten minutes to arrive.

At this very moment, Su Su Zhifei, who was walking on the land of San Qin, although bearded and disheveled, was still continuing his pilgrimage.

Although his clothes were tattered, he wore thick protective gear on his hands and knees. Every three steps, he would kneel on the ground, then prostrate himself, kowtow, and stand up again. After standing up, he would take three more steps and kneel again, repeating this cycle.

When he first started, Su Su Zhifei's body could not withstand such high-intensity exercise at all. His body suffered greatly, and he reached his limit after walking only three or four kilometers a day, which was much slower than the ten kilometers a day of normal believers.

However, as time passed and the distance grew longer, he gradually adapted to this rhythm, slowly increasing from three or four kilometers a day to the current seven or eight kilometers.

In over five months, he had already walked more than a thousand kilometers.

Originally, Su Su Zhifei felt that he was a standard outlier, kowtowing every three steps on the road during the day and sleeping in the open at night.

But as he walked further and further, he gradually discovered many people on the road who were like him, kowtowing toward the southwest on a pilgrimage.

Unlike them, these people were believers, while Su Su Zhifei himself was an atheist. Others did this for faith, while he did it because he was ordered by Ye Chen and had no choice.

However, as the distance increased, Su Su Zhifei's mentality became more and more relaxed.

During the journey, he reviewed his twenty-plus years of life over and over again.

In the process of reviewing, Su Su Zhifei also increasingly realized his many past mistakes and shortcomings. Over time, Su Su Zhifei felt that he was a sinful person.

Relying on being the eldest young master of the Su family to be arrogant and ignorant was the first sin;

Being saved by Ye Chen but feeling no gratitude was the second sin;

When his father was sidelined by his grandfather, and his mother and sister were plotted against by his grandfather with their lives unknown, he compromised with the culprit, his grandfather, for the sake of his future—this was the third sin.

Over time, although Su Su Zhifei had no religious faith, he was surprised to find that the punishment Ye Chen gave him, which was almost like corporal punishment, could calm his heart.

After his heart calmed down, the daily fatigue of his body was no longer a torture for him.

He was like someone who never exercised but became addicted to it because of persistence. He gradually began to immerse himself in it, unable to extricate himself. As long as it wasn't stormy weather, he would never stop moving forward.

Moreover, after reflecting on his mistakes and sins over the years, the hatred for Ye Chen in his heart gradually disappeared, and he finally understood Ye Chen's intention in making him go on a pilgrimage.

Before, he was blinded by interests and material desires, and his family and humanity were greatly affected. After such tempering, his material desires had long been reduced to the extreme. Luxury houses, luxury cars, yachts, and planes were all fleeting clouds to him. Now, he only needed to fill his stomach every day to feel very fulfilled.

And with the reduction of material desires, his humanity was gradually found again. He began to miss his family and sympathize with the poor people along the way. Seeing areas that were still poor, he silently kept them in his heart, hoping that when he had the ability in the future, he could do something for them.

In Su Su Zhifei's mental journey, he not only overcame the difficulties and obstacles on the road, but more importantly, he achieved purification and sublimation on his spiritual level.

Just as Su Su Zhifei continued his three-step kowtow, a helicopter's roar came from the sky. A helicopter flew rapidly from far to near and landed slowly in front of him.

After kowtowing, Su Su Zhifei stood up from the ground and looked at the helicopter, not knowing why it was blocking his path.

At this time, the helicopter cabin door opened, and a middle-aged man jumped down, walked to Su Su Zhifei, and said, "Young Master Su, my young master invites you to return."
