Chapter 387: 387 knocked him out and took him away. Chapter 387: 387 knocked him out and took him away. Si Ye had originally not wanted to recognize his family, and bringing up the issue of his leg might only make him even more eager to flee.
After calming his emotions a bit, Ye Jiu stepped forward, feigning nonchalance, “Ye Gaosheng, aren’t you getting too comfortable here? Be careful or I’ll have our mother deal with you when we get home!”
Ye Jiu’s tone was somewhat uncontrollable and choked, despite wanting to appear more relaxed. But seeing Ye Gaosheng’s miserable state, and knowing it was because he had been looking for him, Ye Jiu’s heart felt unbearably tight.
Upon hearing about Mrs. He, Ye Gaosheng couldn’t speak anymore. He limped stiffly forward, but tears were already streaming down from beneath his matted hair that covered his face.
In the past, although Ye Gaosheng could be stubborn at times, every time Mrs. He was mentioned, he would immediately become obedient.
This time, however, Ye Jiu could tell that he had set his heart on not acknowledging him.
Since reasoning was futile, Ye Jiu didn’t want to waste more words unnecessarily and thought it best to remove him quickly.
With a hardened heart, Ye Jiu bowed with clasped hands toward Guard Si Nan, not far away, “I must trouble Guard Si Nan to assist me by knocking him out and putting him in the carriage.”
As soon as Ye Jiu finished speaking, Ye Gaosheng turned around in disbelief, unable to believe that his gentle and cute sister, whom he hadn’t seen for a few months, had become so vicious.
Just as he opened his mouth to retort, Si Nan moved faster than he could speak. Before Ye Gaosheng even had a chance to make a sound, Si Nan had darted forward with a hand strike to Ye Gaosheng’s neck without hesitation.
Then, Ye Gaosheng slumped limply to the ground.
Before collapsing, he looked at Ye Jiu with eyes full of reproach.
Ye Jiu was not moved in the slightest. If he had behaved properly, or even just complained to him, Ye Jiu would have just felt sorry for him.
Of course, Ye Jiu still felt sorry for him now, but he wanted to take him back, clean him up, and then feel sorry for him properly.
Si Ye’s current appearance was just too jarring to the eyes, and the more Ye Jiu looked at his miserable state, the more his heart ached. How could he remain calm and ascertain the true facts!
As soon as Ye Gaosheng fell to the ground, Ye Wenzheng immediately stepped forward to help him.
Unfortunately, even in his weakened state, Ye Gaosheng was not someone a young boy, not yet fully grown, could lift. Helplessly, Ye Jiu once again sought assistance from Si Nan.
The prowess of a highly skilled martial artist was indeed different. With just a lift of his hand, Si Nan picked up Ye Gaosheng’s entire body and quickly made his way out.
“Where… where are you taking Gaosheng?” Ye Jiu was about to leave when he noticed a child, who appeared to be seven or eight years old, standing there, covered in grime, with indistinguishable clothing color, looking just as disheveled.
Ye Jiu gave it a brief thought and then, recalling the child’s care for Ye Gaosheng, asked a question, “Gaosheng is my fourth brother, so who might you be?”
“I… I am just a little beggar,” the child replied, his gaze dimming.
He didn’t have the courage to tell of how Ye Gaosheng had paid him to take care of him and, besides, judging by this young master’s appearance, it was obvious that Gaosheng came from a wealthy family. Now that Gaosheng was returning home, he surely wouldn’t need a little beggar to take care of him.
Ye Jiu took out a silver ingot from his bosom and handed it over, “This is to thank you for taking care of my fourth brother during this time.”
Having said that, Ye Jiu left.
Ye Jiu didn’t know the details of the relationship between the little beggar and Ye Gaosheng, but seeing how the little beggar had taken good care of Ye Gaosheng, he would wait until Ye Gaosheng woke up to ask about the whole story before deciding on what arrangements to make for the little beggar.
