Chapter 308: Chapter 306 I am guilty and deserve to die
「Hospital.」
Jian Xi awoke in a daze. Seeing everyone around her wearing somber expressions, she forced a smile. "Where are the children?"
Having just passed through the gate of hell, her heart and eyes were now filled with nothing but her children.She wanted to see them at the earliest opportunity.
Wan Yu was silent, then suddenly burst into tears. Jian Sirun pulled her aside. Wan Yu choked back sobs, a mixture of annoyance and anger.
"What’s wrong?"
Jian Xi’s heart skipped a beat. She abruptly sat up in bed, her brow furrowed as she looked at them. "What happened to the children?"
In an instant, it felt like her blood was running backward.
She anxiously went to Wan Yu and gripped her shoulders. "Speak! What exactly happened to the children?"
"The children, the children..." Wan Yu was almost gasping for breath.
"The children are fine," Jian Sirun said slowly, stepping forward to gently pull Jian Xi back. "They just need to stay in the incubator for a few more days to reach full term and get stronger."
Jian Sirun glanced at Wan Yu, who quickly nodded.
"Right, that’s it. You should focus on recovering. You’ve just come back from the gate of hell, and you shouldn’t let your emotions fluctuate too much." Wan Yu chattered on, trying to soothe Jian Xi.
Jian Xi felt an emptiness inside. "And Suoya? Isn’t she here?"
"She..." Wan Yu clenched her teeth. "She went to help look after the children. You should rest."
With that, she left in a huff.
Lying was something she couldn’t keep up.Now, she wished she could flay and dismember Suoya.The damn traitor had stolen the children right in front of them. Once she was caught, they would make sure she paid with her life!
Zhang Yaxuan entered. "Awake? How are you feeling?"
Jian Xi hesitated. "Fourth Brother, please go about your business. I’d like to have a word with Yaxuan." She had an unsettling feeling, as if something had happened, and everyone was hiding it from her.
"Hmm." Jian Sirun, unsuspecting, nodded and left. As he departed, he exchanged a peculiar glance with Zhang Yaxuan.
The atmosphere was off!Something was definitely being hidden from her!
As soon as Jian Sirun left, Jian Xi immediately grabbed Zhang Yaxuan’s hand, pleading, "What exactly is going on with the children?"
He wasn’t good at lying. Those in the arts often had simpler, more straightforward minds.
"I... he..." Zhang Yaxuan stammered.
Jian Xi became even more certain that something had happened to the children.
In a panic, she threw off the covers and got out of bed. "I want to see the children."
Zhang Yaxuan held her back, pressing her onto the bed. "Jian Xi, you’ve just had surgery!"
He declared, as if steeling himself, "The children are fine. There’s just a small issue, but it will be resolved soon."
Hilda was already conducting a thorough search, and they believed they would soon find Suoya and the children. It was all his fault for taking Hilda upstairs!
Zhang Yaxuan thought. Otherwise, they could have definitely caught Suoya, that thief!"What exactly happened!" Jian Xi was frantic, unable to focus on Zhang Yaxuan’s words, and staggered out of the room. She hadn’t taken more than a few steps before she stumbled, nearly collapsing.
A large hand behind her helped her up. Zhang Yaxuan steadied her by her slender waist. "I told you, you’re not well enough to visit the child right now. Wait here, I’ll bring her to you."
"Okay, thank you."
Jian Xi finally felt a huge weight lift from her heart.So the children were fine; with that, she could be at ease.
Zhang Yaxuan, looking aggrieved, flung open the door. Wan Yu stood just outside, holding the baby girl.
Nestled in the small blanket was a tiny, porcelain doll-like baby, looking as fragile as spun sugar. Her delicate face, as smooth as a peeled egg, could melt anyone’s heart.
"Let her see her daughter. You know what to say," Wan Yu said.
Zhang Yaxuan took the child. "Okay."
Seeing her daughter, Jian Xi’s spirits lifted, a wave of happiness washing over her. She tenderly pressed her cheek against the baby’s, her face radiating a maternal glow.
It was miraculous.A tiny embryo had grown into a big baby after ten months in her womb.
"When can I see my son?"
Zhang Yaxuan pursed his lips and told a white lie, "Soon."
"Great! Then I’ll trouble you to take care of them."
Jian Xi was utterly exhausted. Her body, already strained from childbirth, ached intensely after her earlier outburst of anger, making even breathing painful. But the joy in her heart surpassed all the pain.
After letting Zhang Yaxuan take the child, she immediately sent a message to her elder brother, letting him know she was safe and informing him that it was time to formally move against Haohan Group. She would be ruthless in seizing the projects she targeted. Attacking Haohan Group was the first step in her revenge against Si Yuhuan.She wanted to strip Si Yuhuan of everything, bit by bit!Make him taste all her pain!She would make him regret his past actions bitterly!
「.....」
The skies over Saint Seymour were almost turning upside down.
Hilda was determined to search every inch of the place.
Jian Sirun offered a ten-million reward for Suoya’s whereabouts, and her entire family was taken into custody.
Wan Yu sped through the streets, her eyes revealing a ferocity never seen before. "Damn it, don’t let me find you, or I’ll skin you alive!"
Her phone rang frantically.
She answered, her eyes widening. "I’ll be right back."
「In the hospital.」
After more than five hours in surgery and resuscitation, Suoya was wheeled out.
Jian Sirun, who had performed the surgery himself, wore a solemn expression. "If passersby hadn’t administered first aid in time, she likely wouldn’t have survived."
Wan Yu had just entered. Seeing the newly awakened Suoya, she lunged, grabbing her by the throat and roaring, "You damn traitor, where is the child? Where is my godson? Hand over the child, or I’ll choke you to death!"
Wan Yu’s eyes blazed with fury. If Zhang Yaxuan hadn’t restrained her by the waist, she might have lunged at Suoya and torn her apart.
Suoya was terrified. Slowly regaining consciousness from the anesthesia and ignoring the pain in her chest, she scrambled up. "It was Si Yuhuan! Si Yuhuan took Miss Jian’s child! It was my fault. I stupidly believed he wanted to reconcile with Miss Jian and rashly helped him. It was all my stupidity that harmed Miss Jian and the young master. I deserve to die!"
Hearing this, Wan Yu nearly fainted. "You stupid bastard! Did a donkey kick you in the head? If he really wanted to reconcile, would he need your help?"
"I’m sorry, Miss Wan, I was really too stupid. Just kill me!" Suoya, utterly despondent, slapped herself hard across the face several times and repeatedly kowtowed.
Jian Sirun pulled her up. "She was deceived too. We’ll investigate this slowly; we’ll find the child. Killing her now won’t help. Keeping her alive might prove useful."
Suoya nodded desperately. "Yes, let me atone for my sins by finding the young master. Then, I’m willing to die in any way you choose."
"Hmph! I’ll spare you for today. But if you don’t find my godson, I’ll personally skin you!" Wan Yu’s fierce aura was terrifying.
Jian Sirun sighed. "If her heart hadn’t been atypically positioned on her left side, she’d probably be in the morgue by now." He’d never imagined Si Yuhuan would be so ruthless.
