Lu Wenxi was stunned for a moment, then frowned and objected, "No, how can you go to such a far place alone? What if something happens to you?"
"Don't worry, Wenxi," Jiang Zhirou said softly, holding Lu Wenxi's hand. "After all, I have Si Moshen, a wealthy elder brother. I have to take advantage of him and ask him to find the best nutritionist and the best doctor for me."
Lu Wenxi was a bit surprised that she didn't want to tell Chi Yu but was willing to tell Si Moshen about her pregnancy.
Si Moshen was almost a stranger to her, and Lu Wenxi didn't quite understand it.
As if seeing through her thoughts, Jiang Zhirou said, "Si Moshen is the baby's uncle and one of the few relatives I have left."
Hearing this, Lu Wenxi sighed with some heartache and asked, "Then... are you going to tell Professor Jiang about this?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Zhirou's eyes flickered.
She wasn't sure if Jiang Yuezhong had recognized her that time. But for such a long time, Jiang Yuezhong hadn't contacted her, and she had gotten used to the feeling of being unnoticed over the years.
Jiang Zhirou said, "Let nature take its course."
If Jiang Yuezhong intended to know about these things, he would surely find out.
Lu Wenxi didn't ask any more questions and changed the topic, "When are you planning to leave?"
Thinking of Chen Yu'an, Jiang Zhirou pondered for a moment and replied, "Tomorrow night."
She would wait one more day. If Chen Yu'an still didn't contact her by tomorrow night, then this trip might have been a lie from the very beginning, a lie that Si Moshen told just to let her know Chi Yu's current situation.
"Then let's have dinner together tonight."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhirou suddenly remembered that she had an appointment with Wen Yunzhe tonight. Just as she was about to take out her phone to cancel the dinner, Wen Yunzhe's message came at this moment.
Looking at the location and time on the screen, she couldn't very well say she wouldn't go at this time.
She looked up at Wenxi, then quickly tapped on the screen with her fingers.
[Can I bring a friend?]
[Sure]
The reply came instantly.
Jiang Zhirou turned off her phone, looked up at Lu Wenxi, and said, "I have an appointment with a friend tonight. Come with me."
Lu Wenxi didn't refuse at all. "Okay!"
...
After Chi Yu got home, he sent Jiang Shu away and went straight into Chi Weiguo's study.
As soon as he opened the door, a strong sense of suffocation swept over his whole body.
When he was a child, he was beaten in this study every time. But what made him feel the most uncomfortable was the pile of glaring military medals in the study.
These medals that represented honor were in sharp contrast to the fact that he saw Chi Weiguo but the latter didn't save him.
A man who could even sacrifice his own child had won so many medals.
Chi Yu only felt it was ironic and ridiculous.
He tried his best to adjust his emotions, took a deep breath, tightened his hand on the doorknob, pushed the door open forcefully, and then closed it.
Most of Chi Weiguo's important documents were kept in the safe.
He knew the password.
It was the wedding anniversary of Chi Weiguo and Jiang Shu.
Chi Yu quickly entered the password. With a click, the safe was opened.
Without hesitation, he took out all the documents inside and rummaged through them one by one.
Soon, Jiang Zhirou's information came into view.
Chi Yu paused for a moment and nervously opened the file.
It clearly recorded everything about Jiang Zhirou after she was brought from Country A to the imperial capital. What made him feel most horrified was that his and Chen Yu'an's names were clearly written in the column named "interference factors".
There was a note beside each of their names.
The note beside his name read: partner.
The note beside Chen Yu'an's name read: family.
Chi Yu gasped, put the things away one by one, and quickly left the Chi family.
He returned to Yuhaiwan and immediately dialed Chi Weichuan's phone number.
Half an hour later, Chi Weichuan arrived at Yuhaiwan on time.
The moment Chi Weichuan saw Chi Yu, his face was full of worry. Just as he was about to ask how he was, Chi Yu's voice rang out first.
"Check the locator on Chen Yu'an and find out his location."
"Yes, big brother."
...
At the same time.
Chen Jingsheng, Chen Yu'an and others had just got off the plane.
As soon as they walked out of the airport, Chen Yu'an was taken into a car. His eyes were blindfolded all the way. It was about two hours before the car slowly stopped.
After getting out of the car, the black cloth in front of his eyes was taken away. Looking at the familiar scenery in front of him, a flash of killing intent quickly flashed in Chen Yu'an's eyes.
This was the orphanage where he had adopted Qingmian.
At this moment, the orphanage was empty. The peeling and mottled wall paint showed that no one had been here for a long time.
Chen Jingsheng walked straight in and said coldly to the people behind him, "Follow me."
Chen Yu'an silently followed Chen Jingsheng in. Passing through one room after another, they soon arrived at a secret room.
After opening the door, there was a perfect space inside, or rather, a perfect hypnotherapy room.
There was a hypnotherapy room hidden in the orphanage. Chen Yu'an didn't even need to think to know what it was used for. He desperately controlled his emotions so as not to expose himself.
"Go and bring your sister here," Chen Jingsheng turned around and ordered Chen Yu'an.
Chen Yu'an nodded slightly. "Yes, master."
In a place where Chen Jingsheng couldn't see, Chen Yu'an's eyes were full of hatred.
He quickly left the orphanage, threw away his phone, and went straight in the direction of Yuhaiwan.
On that phone call that day, he and Chi Yu had already formulated a precise plan.
He knew that Chen Jingsheng would surely hypnotize him, so he had developed a pill in advance that could keep him sober enough. Although the side effect might be cancer, for the sake of Qingmian, he was willing to take that one - in - ten - thousand chance.
In his life, there were two most important women.
One was his mother, and the other was Qingmian.
When his mother was killed, he was too young and couldn't protect anything.
But now, he would fight desperately to protect Qingmian.
Just as Chen Yu'an arrived at the gate of Yuhaiwan, a familiar female voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Brother?"
Chen Yu'an suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked in the direction of the voice.
He saw Qingmian standing not far away, looking at him.
Chen Yu'an thought he was having an illusion and blinked hard.
Why was Qingmian in the imperial capital? Clearly, he had used the secret signal on the phone. Why did Si Moshen still let Qingmian come to the imperial capital?
When he opened his eyes again, Jiang Zhirou was already standing in front of him.
"Brother, Si Moshen said you wanted me to come and stay in the imperial capital for a few days. Why haven't you called me since I arrived?"
Hearing this, Chen Yu'an instantly understood what was going on.
He hooked the corner of his mouth into a faint smile and said to Jiang Zhirou, "I'm sorry, little sister. Brother has been too busy recently and may not be able to accompany you. How about you go back to Yuelan tomorrow first? I'll go to Yuelan to find you after I'm done with my work, okay?"
Chen Yu'an coaxed her patiently like he used to when she was a child.
Before Jiang Zhirou could speak, Chen Yu'an's voice rang out again.
"Are you alone?"
Jiang Zhirou's attention was diverted. She pointed to Yu Cheng not far away. "I'm having dinner with Brother Yu Cheng and Wenxi nearby. Wenxi has gone to park the car, and I'm waiting for her here."
Hearing this, Chen Yu'an's heart tightened. At present, the plan between him and Chi Yu couldn't have any mistakes.
"I've been too busy recently and haven't contacted Ji Bai and Wenxi for a long time. If Wenxi sees me here, she'll surely scold me again. Don't tell Wenxi I'm here."
Although Jiang Zhirou thought it was strange, she didn't ask any more questions.
She had never been able to understand Chen Yu'an's thoughts since she was a child. Although she felt something was strange, she couldn't quite put her finger on it. When she wanted to ask further, Chen Yu'an was already gone.
