Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

Under the dim light, an indescribable atmosphere of tension permeated the living room of the villa.

Aunt Li's eyes moved between Zheng Haoqian and Ji Yan, and finally fixed on Zheng Haoqian's unquestionable look.

She knew very well that the men in front of her had extraordinary identities and status, and every decision he made could affect her fate and even the safety of her family.

"I...I said it myself."

Aunt Li's voice trembled slightly, but she was very firm. She knew that silence at this moment would only make things worse.

The maid's face turned pale instantly. She knew that the truth that Aunt Li was about to tell might completely expose her mistress, Su Su, who seemed gentle but was actually scheming.

She hurriedly stepped forward and tried to shut Aunt Li up with words: "Aunt Li, calm down! Stop talking nonsense!"

There was a mixture of threat and pleading in her tone, and her eyes were full of warnings.

But Aunt Li seemed not to hear, she continued: "It was Su Su, Miss Su. She found me and gave me some money, saying that it could help me solve all my debt problems. She also promised that as long as I cooperated with the maid and took the baby out of the manor, she could let my family live a good life."

When she said this, Aunt Li's eyes turned slightly red, and it was obvious that she was also experiencing a great struggle in her heart.

Seeing this, the maid became even more anxious. She knew that once Aunt Li finished speaking, her own situation would become precarious.

She almost shouted with all her strength: "Aunt Li, are you crazy? Do you know what you are saying? This will hurt everyone!"

However, Aunt Li did not back down. She looked at Zheng Haoqian with a flash of determination in her eyes.

"I know what I'm saying and I know the consequences of doing this. But I can't watch my family suffer because of me."

Zheng Haoqian listened quietly to Aunt Li's narration, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He looked at the maid and said coldly, "Now, it's your turn. Do you have anything else to say?"

The maid was frightened by Zheng Haoqian's momentum and took a step back involuntarily. She knew that denying at this moment would only make her fall into a deeper quagmire.

So, she lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I... I was also forced by Miss Su. She said that if I didn't help her, she would make me lose everything I have now. I... I have no choice."

With the maid's confession, the whole room seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Although the truth was cruel, at least they had taken the first step in finding the baby.

Ji Yan stood aside, her hands clenched into fists, her eyes flashing with determination. She knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, she would find her baby and protect this family.

"A Qian, what should we do now?" Ji Yan's voice was a little trembling, but more firm.

Zheng Haoqian patted the back of her hand gently, giving her strength: "Don't worry, I'm here. I will find the babies, no matter where Su Su hides them."

……

Inside the banquet hall, the crystal chandeliers sparkled brightly, decorating the entire space with both magnificence and warmth. The air was filled with the scent of flowers and gourmet food, foreshadowing that this would be an unusual gathering.

The elders from the Fu, Zheng, Xin, Lu, and Helian families were dressed in gorgeous clothes and smiling, but they could not hide the complex emotions in their hearts caused by the Ji Yan incident.

However, with the good news that Ji Yan gave birth to twins, all the dissatisfaction and estrangement seemed to disappear overnight, and were replaced by indescribable joy and expectation.

"It's really a double blessing. Yanyan finally gave us a big surprise."

Mother Fu gently stroked the gift in her hand, with a gentle light in her eyes.

"Yes, I heard they are twins, a boy and a girl. What a blessing."

Mother Zheng agreed softly, unable to hide her envy. But she knew that sooner or later it would be her son's turn.

Just when everyone was immersed in the joy of seeing the newborn, they discovered that Ji Yan and the five boys were nowhere to be seen in the banquet hall, not to mention the pair of precious babies.

For a moment, the elders' eyes revealed anxiety and confusion.

Just then, a young woman, Fang Yuan, dressed in a decent dress, hurried over. She had a professional yet gentle smile on her face, and it was obvious that she was familiar with the banquet procedures.

"Dear elders, I am so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Fang Yuan bowed slightly to everyone, then introduced herself, "I'm Yanyan's best friend, Fang Yuan. Yanyan and her family are temporarily unable to receive you in person for some reason, so they specially ordered me to entertain the elders."

Seeing everyone's anxious expressions, Fang Yuan quickly comforted them, "I know everyone is looking forward to seeing the babies, but please allow me to take you to a quiet place first. There are some things I need to explain to you."

So, under the leadership of Fang Yuan, the elders were led to an elegantly decorated lounge.

Along the way, Fu's mother and Helian Minxiao's mother were almost impatient to ask about the child.

"Ms. Fang, how is our grandson? Is he crying? How is he eating?" Mother Fu's voice was full of concern.

Helian Minxiao's mother also looked expectant: "Yes, where is our little baby?"

In the lounge, the flickering candlelight illuminated faces that were either anxious or angry.

Fang Yuan was usually a calm and self-possessed woman, but now she was standing in front of everyone, her heart felt like it was being crushed by a huge rock. The indescribable heaviness forced her to face this cruel reality.

"My dear elders..." Fang Yuan's voice trembled slightly, but she tried to remain calm. "I... I know that I can't hide this from you. The two babies... are lost."

As soon as the words fell, the originally calm hall suddenly became boiling with exclamations and questioning sounds one after another.

The elders of the Fu family, especially Mr. Fu and Patriarch Helian, could hardly hide their anger, and unprecedented severity and worry flashed in their eyes.

The head of the Helian family, Helian, was furious. He stepped forward and said in a deep and powerful voice, "Miss Fang, what is going on? Who has the guts to lay hands on the child of the Fu family?"

Roy, at this moment, also lost his usual calmness. He waved his hand violently, and the delicate porcelain cup beside him shattered. The fragments flew everywhere, reflecting the uncontrollable anger on his face.

"This is simply lawless! We must find those bastards and make them pay the price!"

Facing the questioning and anger of the crowd, Fang Yuan took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound more determined.

"Please be calm, elders. The information I know now is very limited. But please believe that Xin Mujing and his team have gone all out to find the baby's whereabouts. We will not let go of any clues, and we will not let the murderer go unpunished."
