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

With a "whoosh", Fu Jingyan on the hospital bed seemed to be suddenly pulled back to reality from a deep dream. He suddenly opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him was both strange and blurry.

Surrounded by cold walls and unfamiliar medical equipment, and with a faint smell of disinfectant in the air, he realized that he was in a completely unknown environment.

"Where is this? Why am I here?"

Fu Jingyan's heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness. He tried to recall what had happened before, but his memory was as blurred as if shrouded in thick fog.

Although his heart was full of confusion, Fu Jingyan's first reaction was to look for Ji Yan and the baby. The longing for his family burned in his chest like a raging fire, making him eager to get up.

However, when he tried to move his body, he found that his limbs seemed to be bound by invisible shackles, heavy and weak.

"How could this happen? Why can't I move?"

Anxiety and panic surged in Fu Jingyan's heart. He struggled even harder, but his body was like a heavy stone, motionless.

In desperation, he could only try to use his voice to call for help. He opened his mouth and prepared to shout, but his throat seemed to be stuck and no sound came out.

He tried again, but with the same result, only a faint, almost inaudible groan escaped him.

"No...I can't do this...I want to find Yanyan and the baby!"

Fu Jingyan's heart was filled with despair and helplessness. He pounded the bed hard, trying to attract attention, but the only response he got was the echo in the empty room.

Sweat slid down his forehead, dripped onto the pillow, and soaked that area. Fu Jingyan's breathing became rapid and heavy, and he felt as if he was imprisoned in an invisible cage and could not escape.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps as soft as morning dew quietly penetrated the quiet air in the ward, as if bringing a touch of vitality to this silent space.

Fu Jingyan's eyes lit up instantly. He tried hard to overcome the heavy restraints on his body, twisted his neck with difficulty, and followed the source of the sound with his eyes.

As the door of the ward was gently pushed open, a woman walked in slowly, her face filled with a warm and familiar smile, like the warm sunshine in spring, instantly illuminating Fu Jingyan's world.

"you're awake?"

Her voice was soft and full of concern, and every word was like a carefully selected note, gently striking Fu Jingyan's heartstrings.

When the woman walked quickly to the bedside, Fu Jingyan's pupils shrank slightly. He was surprised to find that the uninvited guest was the familiar Lin Wei - the woman who had an emotional entanglement with Ji Yan's fiancé.

At this moment, he felt mixed emotions, surprise and confusion.

Fu Jingyan used all his strength to try to speak and ask Lin Wei why she was here, but his throat seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand and he couldn't make a sound.

He could only stare with his eyes wide open, filled with confusion and anxiety, trying to communicate with Lin Wei in this way.

Seeing this, Lin Wei continued gently.

"Mr. Fu, long time no see. It's great to see you awake."

Her tone was full of sincerity and joy, as if Fu Jingyan's awakening was an extremely important thing to her.

Following Lin Wei's action without any hesitation, the ward was filled with a crisp ringing sound. It was the sound of her quickly pressing the bedside bell, like the first ray of sunshine in the morning, penetrating the silence of the ward.

She reported the news of Fu Jingyan's awakening to the person on the other end of the ringing phone in brief and clear words, and every word revealed her professionalism and calmness.

Soon, the door was gently pushed open, and a tall figure accompanied by a doctor walked into the ward.

Lin Wei immediately turned around, bowed slightly to the man, and called softly, "Sir."

Then, she stood quietly beside him, and there seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two that did not require words.

The man did not immediately turn his gaze to Fu Jingyan on the bed, but first asked Lin Wei about the details. His voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed carefully crafted: "When did he wake up?"

Lin Wei answered quickly and accurately: "I had just come in and found that he was awake, so I immediately rang the bell." Her tone was calm, without the slightest ripple.

Hearing this, the man finally slowly turned his gaze to Fu Jingyan. At that moment, Fu Jingyan also saw the man's face clearly. The face was both familiar and strange to him, as if it was suddenly pulled out from the depths of his memory, making his pupils dilate and his face full of disbelief.

The man looked at Fu Jingyan's reaction and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. That smile contained both the pride of victory and some complicated emotions.

"Fu Jingyan, long time no see, do you still remember me?"

His voice was gloomy and fierce, and every word hit Fu Jingyan's heart like a heavy hammer.

Fu Jingyan tried to speak in response, but only a faint whimper came out of his throat. He realized that he still couldn't make a sound. A hint of mockery flashed in the man's eyes, as if he had expected this scene.

"Oh, I forgot. You can't make any sound now."

He muttered to himself, then changed the subject and told the doctor, "Remove this restriction from him as soon as possible. We still have a lot of things to discuss."

Upon hearing this, the doctor immediately stepped forward to examine Fu Jingyan and began to remove the restrictions on him.

As a subtle but clear mechanical sound echoed in the ward, Fu Jingyan felt an unprecedented sense of relief in his heart, as if the long-standing shackles were completely released at this moment.

He coughed violently a few times, and the discomfort in his throat gradually dissipated, replaced by a long-lost voice, which was hoarse but extremely firm.

"Yin Zhiyang, why...why are you here?" he asked word by word, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Yin Zhiyang curled up a playful smile, which was full of confidence that everything was under control.

"Fu Jingyan, it seems you haven't forgotten me yet."

He spoke slowly, his eyes sharp as an eagle, as if he could penetrate Fu Jingyan's heart and see through all his doubts and fears.

"You five big families have joined forces to force our Yin family into a desperate situation, causing me to lose too much. Tell me, why am I here?"

Yin Zhiyang's words were as chilling as ice, causing the temperature in the ward to drop a few degrees in an instant.

Upon hearing this, Fu Jingyan's face darkened. He knew very well that the grudge between him and this man was deep and could not be resolved with a few words.

"What do you want to do?"

He asked calmly, and even though his heart was in turmoil, he still remained calm on the surface.

When Yin Zhiyang heard Fu Jingyan's question, a sneer appeared on his lips, and that smile revealed a bit of cruelty and pleasure.

"What do you think I want to do?"

He deliberately prolonged his tone, as if he was enjoying the pleasure of controlling the fate of others.

"Since our Yin family has been shattered, I will let your five major families have the same experience. I will start with you, and then I will find Lu Nanxu, Xin Mujing, your baby Ji Yan, and those two innocent children one by one."

When talking about "Ji Yan" and "child", Yin Zhiyang's tone became obviously heavier, as if he was deliberately provoking Fu Jingyan's bottom line.

When Fu Jingyan heard this, his anger erupted like a volcano. His fists were clenched and veins bulged, but as his body was still weak, he could only glare at Yin Zhiyang but was unable to put up any substantial resistance.
