Fu Shengyuan intervened in the acquisition of Salsi Group, and the news quickly spread.
After careful investigation, Yan Qing brought very bad news to Si Yuhuan.
"Your wife’s elder brother, Jian Mingcheng, had already begun negotiating with the leadership of Salsi Group half a month ago. Luo You’s presence has greatly increased Jian Group’s leverage. I’m afraid if you want to successfully acquire Salsi Group, it’s going to be difficult."
Si Yuhuan coughed and signaled Yan Qing to place a pillow behind him, preparing to sit up.
"Apart from that, does Tianyao Group have any other moves?"
Yan Qing thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Nothing particularly noticeable, just that he’s been frequenting the Jian Family Old House more often."
Si Yuhuan furrowed his brows.
"However, Old Madam Jian hasn’t met with him; he was turned away at the door."
Heh! Si Yuhuan let out a cold laugh.
Thank goodness Jian’s Mother isn’t confused.
"Director Si, there’s something I probably shouldn’t say, but I’m always afraid that your wife might collude with Fu Shengyuan against you. He’s a cunning old fox who devours his prey whole. If she gets involved with him, it could be dangerous. That chess move, are you sure you don’t want to make it?"
Si Yuhuan waved his hand, his mind full of thoughts of Jian Xi.
Just now, seeing her so sad and crying had made him feel inexplicably heartbroken and angry.
Heartbroken that she takes on everything herself, and Zhang Yaxuan has yet to show her face.
Angry that even so, she still refuses to show him the slightest kindness and even threatens him!
"Thoroughly investigate everyone Si Junyan has contacted in Q Country. You must find even the slightest clue for me. The group of people around him doesn’t look like ordinary assassins. Could there be someone else behind him, helping him?"
Si Yuhuan tightened his fists, a coldness raging in his eyes.
The damned who had come back to life... no matter who was behind it, they had to die!
Jian Xi had finally finished her postpartum confinement.
There was also good news from Fifth Brother. With the help of Second Brother’s apprentice, there were signs of gradual improvement.
Wan Yu was happy. "Once Fifth Master wakes up, we will know exactly what happened on the ship. Then, the truth will come out, and whether Si Yuhuan has been wrongly accused will be determined."
The shadows in Jian Xi’s heart were mostly swept away.
She gave orders to the outside world, "Block the news and say that Fifth Master has become a vegetable. I’m planning to fight Si Yuhuan to the death."
Wan Yu was rendered speechless.
"Alright, as you wish."
Jian Xi felt helpless. "Only in this way can we uncover the real culprit behind the scenes."
Wan Yu sighed inwardly. The source of thɪs content is 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩
Jian Xi subconsciously trusts Si Yuhuan... I really don’t know if that’s good or bad.
Strangely, she also felt Si Yuhuan should be fine. Could Si Junyan really be alive? His objective is too terrifying.
After much thought, she decided to mobilize her connections to check some minor details following Si Junyan’s death.
Someone resurrected from the dead couldn’t be without a few tricks up their sleeve!
There were no abnormalities in the entire hospital.
It was so quiet that Jian Xi began to doubt her judgment.
Was Si Yuhuan the real culprit all along? I should go and confront him.
A shadow darted through the corridor.
In the dead of night, at 1:30 AM, this was too eerie.
Jian Xi immediately followed.
The figure moved swiftly, heading purposefully towards Fifth Brother’s ward.
After entering, he sneakily took out a syringe. Just as he was about to inject the medicine into Fifth Brother’s IV bottle, Jian Xi appeared and swung a club fiercely at him.
The assailant was on guard, ducking to avoid the blow. Upon seeing Jian Xi, his eyes widened, and he immediately turned to run.
"Catch him!" Jian Xi shouted loudly.
The ace bodyguards hidden in the hallway immediately charged forward.
"Damn it! You tricked me!"
The man spoke Mandarin!
Jian Xi, standing her ground and agitated, bellowed, "Take him alive!"
If I can just catch him, I can follow the clues to find my son.
But the other side was no pushover. Though the ace bodyguards were formidable, they couldn’t handle him now that he had a gun.
Three shots forced the ace bodyguards to retreat, and he took the opportunity to jump out of the tenth-floor window.
Jian Xi, her eyes blazing with fury, chased after him. Suddenly, a wire-thin rope whizzed past her eyes. Before Jian Xi could react, she was completely entangled and pulled forcefully towards the window.
Using her as leverage, he actually managed to escape and landed steadily on the ground floor.
Jian Xi clung desperately to the windowsill, preventing herself from being yanked out by the momentum.
Down below, the man gave her an extremely arrogant salute. "Thanks for the rescue, Miss Jian."
His smile was brazen and bright.
"You stop right there!"
Jian Xi was infuriated, her eyes red with rage, wishing she could just leap down and fight him to the death.
So outrageous! Who on earth are these people?
Her eyes caught sight of a gun nearby.
Without thinking, she loaded it and fired.
The man, already far away, was hit in the leg. He stumbled and fell to the ground.
The bodyguards immediately rushed out.
At the critical moment, just when Jian Xi thought she could capture him and interrogate him about her child’s whereabouts, an SUV appeared. The doors opened, and two men got out, dragged him in, and sped off, disappearing in a cloud of dust.
Jian Xi ran downstairs. Seeing the two taillights, red and bewitching, disappear into the night, she knelt on the ground, unable to contain her rage, and pounded the ground in frustration.
"Why? Why couldn’t I catch him even ?!"
She was on the verge of a breakdown.
Through tear-blurred eyes, she heard the sound of leather shoes scraping on the ground and looked up.
Si Yuhuan appeared, supported by Yan Qing.
He had the four men who had just tried to escape in custody; he hadn’t even spared the driver.
A glimmer of light flashed in Jian Xi’s eyes, and she immediately scrambled up.
Si Yuhuan, ignoring the fact that he had just had surgery, moved to support Jian Xi.
Jian Xi was speechless.
And I was just about to go demand an explanation from him...
"With all that commotion, I’m not deaf," he said, raising his hand. The four men were brought forward. The killer who had been so brazen towards Jian Xi was viciously slapped several times by Yan Qing, so hard that his teeth fell out.
Song Xicheng appeared, looking very proud. "On my turf, they think they can come and go as they please? They’re clearly underestimating me."
Wan Yu, who had just come downstairs, saw this and wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Song Xicheng had no intention of missing the chance to mock her.
"Some people are just blind. Do you see your mistake now? I’m different from her; it’s not that I’m afraid of her." He lifted his chin, sneering condescendingly.
Wan Yu felt extremely indignant at being indirectly criticized, but seeing the great service he had rendered, she immediately put on a smile and apologized, "Yes, some people are indeed blind. President Song, please don’t concern yourself with them. A great boss like you should be magnanimous."
Song Xicheng, pleased by the flattery, immediately said to Jian Xi, "These four were just the vanguard. There’s another group of bastards behind them; they’ve all been tied up. Let’s see if we can pry anything out of their mouths."
Si Yuhuan went over and took Jian Xi’s hand, his deep obsidian eyes filled with a gentle, lingering gaze. "Can you trust me now?"
Jian Xi pursed her lips and pushed him away.
"Si Yuhuan, you’re not trustworthy. This incident might not be related to you, but I’m begging you, help me find my child."
