"Qin Xuan, Yu Yan, you're back!" Tantai Yue's voice suddenly came from upstairs.
Tantai Yue had already gone to rest, but her sleep wasn't deep. Hearing the sound of the door opening, she got up to check and unexpectedly saw the two of them.
However, this scene touched Tantai Yue's heart.
Qin Xuan was actually helping Yu Yan... wash her feet...
They had been married for several years, and he had never done this for her. Today, he was doing it for another woman...
Although Tantai Yue was understanding, jealousy was human nature, and women felt it more intensely. No one was an exception.
Seeing Tantai Yue's expression change unpredictably, Qin Xuan quickly explained,
"Tantai, don't misunderstand, it's because Yu Yan was..."
Qin Xuan explained the whole story from beginning to end, and Tantai Yue's expression softened a little.
But she still felt a little unhappy, after all, he had never washed her feet.
Wang Yu Yan also felt a bit embarrassed and quickly withdrew her feet.
"Um... Qin Xuan, my feet are almost better, you don't need to trouble yourself."
Qin Xuan knew it wouldn't be appropriate to continue washing them. Wang Yu Yan's meridians were basically recovering, so he took the basin to pour out the water.
Wang Yu Yan knew Qin Xuan. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't overthink it. She sat beside him and asked with concern,
"Yu Yan, have you been alright these past few days?"
Wang Yu Yan gave a bitter smile.
"I almost didn't make it back. If Qin Xuan hadn't arrived in time, I probably would have..."
After hearing Wang Yu Yan's account, Tantai Yue said sympathetically,
"Alas, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have..."
Wang Yu Yan waved her hand to interrupt Tantai Yue.
"It's okay, I'm fine now. I just didn't expect that Li Shengtian's ambition was so great, wanting to target our Wang Group. And there's a traitor within our group."
Wang Yu Yan naturally knew who it was. When Li Shengtian kidnapped Wang Yu Yan before, he didn't expect her to survive and told her everything.
"That beast Guo Jianhua, my grandfather treated him so well, and he still wants to swallow the entire Li Group. I will never let him go!" Wang Yu Yan gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.
"No, I must return to the group immediately and expose that beast face-to-face."
Saying that, Wang Yu Yan was about to get up, but Qin Xuan, who had just come downstairs, stopped her with a sentence.
"You're going back now without any proof, just your word against his. Who will believe you? Moreover, Guo Jianhua is the largest shareholder in your group besides your family. Do you think anyone will believe your one-sided story?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu Yan retracted her outstretched feet back onto the sofa. She threw her hand, looking displeased like a petulant wife, and said,
"Then what should we do? By the time my grandfather returns, it'll be too late."
Tantai Yue also looked worried. She was, after all, just the owner of a small company. The Li Group was such a large conglomerate, and she couldn't think of any solution.
"Don't worry, I have a way," Qin Xuan said slowly.
"You have a way?" Both women looked at Qin Xuan with doubt.
Qin Xuan nodded, signaling them not to rush, and then said,
"Guo Jianhua might have already seized control of the group. If you go back now, you might face another kidnapping. So we can only wait, or you can immediately contact your grandfather and father. As long as one of them returns, Guo Jianhua won't be able to make much of a fuss. As for Li Shengtian, I'll handle him."
Tantai Yue frowned upon hearing this.
"Qin Xuan, no matter what, Li Shengtian isn't alone. And you are only one person. I'm worried about you..."
Qin Xuan waved his hand with a smile, interrupting her.
"Tantai, trust me. And, I won't be alone."
Tantai Yue didn't quite understand Qin Xuan's words. Not alone? How many people could there be? No one knew Qin Xuan better than Tantai Yue. In Jiangbei, his only two relatives were his deceased grandfather and his sister, who was still in high school. Other than them, he had no other family.
Tantai Yue also knew that she couldn't help much.
"I believe you," Wang Yu Yan suddenly said from the side.
Having spent so much time with Qin Xuan, coupled with their previous trip to Dongyong City, Wang Yu Yan knew this guy.
She had investigated him before, and the results were ordinary to the extreme.
But as they got to know each other, he surprised her time and time again.
Pills, exorcisms, and he was so powerful in fights.
So Wang Yu Yan became even more certain that this guy was definitely not an ordinary person, not as harmless as he appeared.
Having made up her mind, Wang Yu Yan immediately took out her phone to call her grandfather. Unexpectedly, just as she took it out, someone called.
Wang Yu Yan recognized the number as Shan Bendé's and rejoiced. She quickly answered.
"Grandpa Shan, when are you and Grandpa returning..."
"Yu Yan, Grandpa Shan has something to tell you. You need to be prepared. Your grandfather..."
After listening to Shan Bendé's words, Wang Yu Yan's expression froze, her eyes turned red, and tears welled up.
After a long while, Wang Yu Yan hung up the phone, could no longer hold back, and burst into tears.
Qin Xuan and Tantai Yue were stunned. They exchanged glances. The latter took Wang Yu Yan's hand and comforted her.
"Yu Yan, what's wrong? What happened? Tell us, and we'll figure it out together."
Wang Yu Yan cried for a while before sobbing,
"Qin Xuan, Yue'er, my grandfather and my father, they... they were killed, *sob sob sob*..."
"What!" Qin Xuan and Tantai Yue were both shocked.
Wang Youhai and Wang Hong were dead?
Wang Yu Yan continued,
"Grandpa Shan said that this afternoon, Grandpa and the others were flying back, but the plane encountered problems halfway and was forced to land in Modu. They then transferred flights. Just as they got off the plane, a group of men in black suddenly attacked. Grandpa Shan, because he knew martial arts, only sustained a few gunshot wounds. But Grandpa and Father were ordinary people, and as a result... *sob sob sob*..."
Qin Xuan frowned, regaining his composure first.
This was definitely related to Li Shengtian or Guo Jianhua.
He sat beside Wang Yu Yan and asked softly,
"Yu Yan, did your grandfather have any enemies in the capital?"
Wang Yu Yan wiped her tears, thought for a moment, and shook her head.
"No, although our family has businesses in the capital, they've never been very successful, so we didn't focus too much on business there, and thus we wouldn't have offended anyone."
Wang Yu Yan's words made Qin Xuan even more convinced that it was either Li Shengtian's doing or Guo Jianhua's.
