Chapter 1612: Leaving Gracefully

"Brother Yong, have you truly made up your mind?" Yong Peng's wife, who had recovered considerably after Jiang Chen's treatment, asked softly.

A flicker of hesitation crossed Yong Peng's face. "Ah Tang, are you afraid?"

Ah Tang, his wife, smiled calmly. "Brother Yong, as long as I'm with you, I fear nothing."

"Children, are you afraid?" Ah Tang gently stroked her two obedient children.

"Father, Mother, we're not afraid!"

Yong Peng took a deep breath. "Ah Tang, I've decided—we have to leave. I don't want Zhen'er and Li'er to be imprisoned here for their entire lives. They've done nothing wrong. We've done nothing wrong. Must we be condemned to generations of confinement on Dongyan Island because of our ancestors' mistakes? Without freedom, without seeing the outside world?"
