Chapter 531: Orders from Above!

"Rest easy about this," Yan Aohan said, his gaze steady on Zhu Yanyi. "Your sister, Zhu Yanli, is about to take the college entrance exam. I’ve checked her high school records. If she performs normally, getting into the Capital Conservatory of Music is no problem. As for your younger brother, Zhu Zhibin, he is facing the middle school entrance exam. If he does well, he can be specially recruited into the Capital’s Special Youth Class. It’s a fully closed campus. Even if those people want to scheme against him, they can’t reach him there. Your father and mother will stay here, and with the Azure Sovereign Security Company protecting them, keeping them safe is not difficult. The only condition is that you are not here."

Yan Aohan looked deeply at Zhu Yanyi. He knew he had to be clear with her. "If you are not here, and with my deliberate protection, it will be very hard for anyone to investigate and find us." He paused, his expression softening slightly. "Of course, whether to go to the Capital is your decision. But my advice is that you should go."

Zhu Yanyi began to weigh Yan Aohan’s words. She knew he was right. Staying here made her a target. But if she left, she didn’t know when she could return. If Yan Aohan was correct, coming back would be incredibly difficult.

Yan Aohan smiled gently. "Take your time to think. There are still a few months. First, I am busy setting up logistics and security companies here. Second, you still have your middle school entrance exam. So, there is no need to rush to leave right now. However, before I leave Sicheng Town, I hope you can give me an answer. The sooner you decide, the better, so we can make arrangements if you choose to go to the Capital."

Zhu Yanyi sighed and nodded. "I understand. I will think about this matter carefully."

"Don’t look so heavy-hearted," Yan Aohan said, seeing her solemn expression. He reached out and gently rubbed her head. "With me here, you don’t need to worry."

It was only speculation about the worst-case scenario, so worrying was useless. But she took Yan Aohan’s advice to heart and promised again, very seriously, "I will think it over."

During this time of reflection, Zhu Yanyi faced her middle school entrance exam. The gap between the middle school and college entrance exams was only about ten days. This was a critical period for the Zhu family. Zhu Yanyi took her exam first, followed by Zhu Yanli’s college entrance exam ten days later.

Once it was confirmed that Zhu Yanyi was taking the exam, Zhu Shunyao and Xie Xinlian handed Zhu Zhibin over to Xie Zhong for care. The couple arrived a day early, staying at the guesthouse to accompany her. Zhu Yanyi felt she was quite advanced; not many parents accompanied their kids for exams these days, yet she had the privilege of having hers.

"Make sure you don’t forget your admission ticket or your study tools," Xie Xinlian reminded her, watching Zhu Yanyi pack her bag.

Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile. "I won’t forget." She added, "Actually, you two didn’t need to come. I live in the school dormitory, and the exam site is right here in my own school. It’s much better than my roommates, Wang Ani and Gao Xia. Their exam site is at Lihua Middle School, so they have to travel there."

"Your sister didn’t have us accompany her for her middle school exam," Zhu Shunyao laughed from the side. "But for yours, we must be here. It might not help much, but it’s to boost your courage."

Zhu Yanyi pressed her hand to her forehead. "It’s really not that troublesome. Besides, aren’t you worried about things at home while you’re away?"
