Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

The moonlight was like water, quietly falling into the room, reflecting Chu Mengmeng's worried face. Xiao Yichen's abnormality made her feel uneasy, and she vaguely felt that something was quietly changing.

The next morning, Xiao Yichen had a pair of panda eyes, but it couldn't hide the determined light flashing in his eyes. He found Chu Mengmeng and said hurriedly: "Mengmeng, let's go find Doctor Ye and Doctor Lin. They must know something."

Although Chu Mengmeng was confused, she agreed without hesitation when she saw Xiao Yichen was so determined. The two of them hurried to Doctor Ye's clinic with the twins.

When Doctor Ye and Doctor Lin heard about Xiao Yichen's purpose, their faces suddenly became solemn. They looked at each other, as if they were communicating something with their eyes. After a moment, Doctor Ye sighed and said slowly: "Yichen, we also know a little about your father's affairs..."

It turns out that Xiao Yichen's father is not an ordinary businessman, but an antique appraiser with special skills. In his early years, he got a priceless treasure, which also brought him a fatal disaster. In order to get the treasure, his business rival kidnapped him and tried to force him to tell the whereabouts of the treasure.

"Then... where is my father now?" Xiao Yichen asked anxiously.

Doctor Ye shook his head and said in a heavy tone, "We don't know either. The person who kidnapped your father acted in a secretive way. We made many inquiries but still couldn't find his whereabouts."

"No! I don't believe it!" Xiao Yichen stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger and sadness, "I must find my father and rescue him!"

Seeing this, Chu Mengmeng hurried forward and held his hand, and comforted him softly: "Yi Chen, don't worry, we will definitely find your father. Doctor Ye, Doctor Lin, do you have any other solutions?"

Doctor Lin pondered for a moment and said, "If we want to find your father, I'm afraid we have to start with that treasure. If we can find that treasure, maybe we can follow the clues and find your father's whereabouts."

"Treasure? What treasure?" Xiao Yichen asked puzzledly.

Doctor Ye and Doctor Lin looked at each other, with a complicated look in their eyes. Doctor Ye slowly walked to the bookshelf, took down an ancient book, opened a page, pointed to a picture on it and said, "As far as we know, the treasure your father got back then should be the legendary..."

He paused, and said word by word: "Dragon pattern jade pendant."

Xiao Yichen was struck by lightning when he heard this, and his face turned pale instantly. He subconsciously touched his clothes on his chest, and there was another dragon-patterned jade pendant hidden there! Xiao Yichen had worn this jade pendant since he was a child, and it was said to be the only relic left to him by his mother. Over the years, he had always treated it as a treasure, but he never thought that it was actually related to his father's disappearance.

"How could this happen..." Xiao Yichen muttered to himself, his mind in a mess. He had always thought that his father was just an ordinary businessman, but he never thought that he would be involved in such a dangerous incident. And he himself, unknowingly, became a part of this conspiracy.

"Yichen, don't worry, we will definitely find your father." Chu Mengmeng held Xiao Yichen's hand tightly and said firmly. Although she was also full of worries, she knew that the most important thing now was to stay calm and help Xiao Yichen find his father.

"Thank you, Mengmeng." Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Mengmeng gratefully. He knew that at this moment, only Chu Mengmeng would support him unconditionally and believe in him. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Then he looked at Doctor Ye and Doctor Lin and asked, "Two doctors, do you know the origin of this dragon-patterned jade pendant? And why did it bring about a fatal disaster?"

Doctor Ye stroked his beard and said slowly, "This jade pendant with dragon pattern is an ancient artifact. Legend has it that it possesses mysterious power. It is said that whoever obtains it can gain supreme power and wealth, but it can also lead to death. Back then, after your father obtained this jade pendant, he was hunted down by various forces and eventually his whereabouts are unknown."

"I see." A cold light flashed in Xiao Yichen's eyes. He knew that if he wanted to find his father, he had to find those who kidnapped him first and find out the forces behind them. And this dragon-patterned jade pendant was his only clue.

"Yi Chen, what should we do next?" Chu Mengmeng asked.

"We must first find those who kidnapped my father." Xiao Yichen's eyes flashed with determination, "Since they want to get the dragon-patterned jade pendant, they will definitely find ways to find me. We just need to spread the news, and we will definitely be able to lure them out."

"But wouldn't it be too dangerous to do this?" Chu Mengmeng said worriedly.

"I know, but in order to find my father, I can't care about so much." Xiao Yichen said firmly, "I believe that as long as we act carefully, we will be able to overcome the danger."

So, Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng began to make preparations. They contacted all the people they could and spread the news, claiming that they had the dragon-patterned jade pendant in their hands, in order to attract the attention of those people.

As expected by Xiao Yichen, not long after the news was released, someone came to visit. The person claimed to be a friend of Xiao Yichen's father and wanted to talk to him about the dragon-patterned jade pendant. Xiao Yichen knew that these people must be coming for the jade pendant, but he did not expose them. Instead, he played along and pretended to agree to meet them.

The meeting place was set in a dilapidated temple outside the city. Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng disguised themselves and brought the twins to the agreed place.

The dilapidated temple was dark and damp, and the air was filled with a musty smell, which made people feel very depressed. Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng observed their surroundings vigilantly, not daring to relax at all.

"You are here." A low voice sounded in the darkness, and then a tall figure walked out from the shadows.

"Who are you? Where is my father?" Xiao Yichen asked coldly.

"Don't worry, your father is doing well now." The visitor smiled sinisterly, "As long as you hand over the dragon-patterned jade pendant obediently, I promise that he will not lose a single hair."

"You're dreaming!" Xiao Yichen roared, "If you want the jade pendant, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!"

As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng attacked at the same time and started a fierce fight with the newcomer. Although the newcomer was tall, Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng were not vegetarians. They relied on tacit cooperation and flexible skills to deal with the newcomer.

During the fight, Xiao Yichen unexpectedly discovered that the man who came also had a jade pendant with a dragon pattern on him! Moreover, that jade pendant and the one on his body could be perfectly pieced together!

"Could it be..." Xiao Yichen's heart moved, and a bold guess came to his mind. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the person who came, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?!"

The man sneered and was about to speak when suddenly, the door of the dilapidated temple was kicked open. The dazzling sunlight shone in, completely dispelling the darkness in the dilapidated temple.

"Stop!" A majestic voice sounded, and then a familiar figure appeared at the door...

The sun poured in, and standing at the door was none other than Xiao Yichen's father! He looked much thinner than before, but in good spirits, with a look of guilt and kindness in his eyes.

"Dad!" Xiao Yichen looked at his father in disbelief, his voice trembling, as if he was afraid that this was just a dream.

Father Xiao walked up to Xiao Yichen step by step, stroked his cheek with trembling hands, his eyes moistened, "Yichen, it's Dad who is sorry for you, sorry for you and Mengmeng, and the children..."

"Dad, I'm so glad you're okay!" Chu Mengmeng excitedly held Father Xiao's hand, tears in her eyes.

Father Xiao turned around and bowed deeply, "I'm sorry, Mengmeng, Daddy wronged you before and did so many excessive things to you..."

Chu Mengmeng quickly helped Father Xiao up, "Dad, it's all over. Now our family is finally reunited, which is more important than anything else."

Father Xiao nodded and looked at the man who was confronting him, with a complex emotion in his eyes, "Yi Chen, actually..." He paused, as if he was organizing his words, "He is your uncle, my biological brother."

This sentence exploded like thunder in the dilapidated temple. Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng looked at Xiao's father and the man in shock.

The man smiled bitterly and took off the black cloth on his face, revealing a face that was somewhat similar to Xiao's father. "Brother, after all these years, you still won't forgive me?"

Father Xiao sighed, "Back then, you were so stubborn that you didn't hesitate to hurt your own family in order to get the dragon-patterned jade pendant. I..."

"I know I was wrong, big brother," the man interrupted Xiao's father, "I have been living in regret all these years. I am sorry for you and Yi Chen..."

Xiao Yichen looked at the dramatic scene in front of him with mixed feelings. He never expected that the truth he had been looking for would be so tortuous and bizarre.

After Xiao's father's explanation, Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng finally understood the whole story. It turned out that Xiao's father's younger brother had gone astray, and in order to obtain the legendary dragon-patterned jade pendant with supreme power, he actually tried every means to kidnap his own brother, Xiao Yichen's father. However, he didn't know that there were two pieces of the dragon-patterned jade pendant, and only when they were combined could their true power be exerted. In order to protect Xiao Yichen and the jade pendant, Xiao's father deliberately concealed the truth, which led to the brothers turning against each other and also put himself in prison.

The truth was revealed, and Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng were in a state of confusion for a long time. They felt sad for what happened to Xiao's father, but also felt relieved for their uncle's regret.

"Yichen, Mengmeng," Father Xiao looked at the two children in front of him, his eyes full of love and expectation, "Dad is old, it's time to hand over everything to you..."

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Xiao Yichen helped his father up, with a bit of surprise in his tone, "You are in your prime, what are you talking about old or not..."

"Yi Chen," Father Xiao patted the back of his hand, his eyes deep, "Dad has been through a lot over the years, and has seen a lot. It's time to put down the burden and live a peaceful life. You and Mengmeng are young and promising, and Dad believes that you can do better than Dad."

Chu Mengmeng felt mixed emotions. She understood that Father Xiao wanted to make up for his debt to Xiao Yichen over the years, and he really wanted to entrust everything to them. She held Xiao Yichen's hand and gave him a firm look.

"Dad, we understand what you mean," Chu Mengmeng said in a gentle but firm tone, "We will definitely study hard and live up to your expectations."

Father Xiao nodded with satisfaction and took out a crystal clear jade pendant from his arms. Half of it was in the shape of a mighty dragon, and the other half was in the shape of an elegant and noble phoenix. It was exactly the legendary jade pendant with dragon pattern.

"This jade pendant was passed down from our ancestors. Owning it means having a huge responsibility." Father Xiao handed the jade pendant to Xiao Yichen solemnly, "My child, take it. Dad believes that you will become a man who stands tall and proud!"

Xiao Yichen took the jade pendant with both hands, and a warm current spread from his palm to his whole body. He seemed to feel the call from his blood and the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

"Yichen, Mengmeng," Father Xiao looked at them lovingly, "Dad and your mom are going back to our hometown. I owe her too much over the years. I want to spend some time with her and live an idyllic life."

Xiao Yichen's mother had been standing silently by the side. When she heard her husband's words, her eyes reddened slightly. She held Xiao's father's hand and nodded gently.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, we will go back to see you often." Chu Mengmeng had tears in her eyes and was reluctant to leave.

A family of five, including a pair of cute twins, spent an unforgettable day in the dilapidated temple. They talked about their longings and grievances over the years, and also looked forward to their hopes and aspirations for the future.

In the evening, the setting sun dyed the sky golden red. Father Xiao and his wife packed their simple bags and prepared to leave. Before leaving, Father Xiao called Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng to his side again.

"Yi Chen, Dad knows that your ambition is not in business, but you shoulder the family's mission and it is related to the fate of countless people. I hope you can take on this responsibility." Father Xiao said earnestly.

"Dad, I understand." Xiao Yichen nodded solemnly. He knew that his life trajectory was about to change dramatically.

"Mengmeng," Father Xiao turned to Chu Mengmeng, his eyes full of admiration, "You are a good child. Dad believes that you will be Yichen's strongest support and help him protect this family business."

"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely support Yichen and face all challenges with him." Chu Mengmeng said in a firm tone, with a confident light flashing in her eyes.

Father Xiao nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave.

"Yi Chen, Meng Meng, goodbye, take care!" Xiao's mother waved her hand, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Dad, Mom, goodbye!" Xiao Yichen and Chu Mengmeng watched their parents' figures disappear in the sunset, feeling filled with emotion.

From then on, a new chapter in their lives began, and what awaited them were unknown challenges and opportunities.

"Mengmeng, you say..." Xiao Yichen clenched the jade pendant in his hand, with a bit of confusion in his tone.

"Shhh..." Chu Mengmeng raised a finger and smiled mysteriously, "The secret cannot be revealed."
