In the hall.
Wei Wenjuan slowly raised his head, with obvious traces of blood still on his face.
"Bring the doctor over," Wei Wenjuan said with a sigh.
"Second Young Master, this is..."
"We can't just let him die, there's still a long way to go," Wei Wenjuan said, glancing at the motionless Li Jiang and pointing with a sneer: "Otherwise, why do you think he ended up like this?"
No one on the board of directors spoke again.
The hall fell into a deathly silence.
Until the doctor arrived, wiping sweat and beginning to frantically try to save Wei Lin's life.
"My niece still hasn't been found..." Wei Wenjuan frowned.
The board of directors cursed inwardly, thinking that it was all because of the young miss's disappearance... After a moment of silence, they simply said: "Why don't we also kidnap Black Chuan Jin's family?"
Wei Wenjuan nodded but didn't speak.
Someone on the board hesitated and said, "Then... I'll take care of it."
Wei Wenjuan closed his eyes tiredly: "Mm, you can all disperse now."
This sounded less polite, but at this point, no one cared about politeness anymore, and they quickly left.
"I didn't expect the second brother to be so ruthless," someone sighed in a low voice after leaving, "He's much more ruthless than before his leg was crippled."
"Anyone who ends up in this state would inevitably go to extremes, right?"
With these words, the board members fell silent again.
None of them were particularly clean, but as long as these things weren't brought to light, it was fine. If one day, like Wei Lin, they were stripped naked and laid out on the chopping block like a pig, they'd all be finished!
They exchanged glances, not daring to guess if any of them had a hand in the Gui family's direct relatives ending up in this state today.
They all hurriedly left.
Now that Wei Lin had been dealt with, there would be changes in the group, and they needed to be prepared...
When most people had left, the bodyguards also carried Li Jiang away.
As they were leaving, a bodyguard asked, "If his wounds get infected again and he develops a high fever..."
"Don't give him any injections, see if he can survive on his own. If he can, let him suffer for a few more days," Wei Wenjuan said, tugging at the corner of his mouth.
"Ah!"
A servant timidly approached with a tissue: "Second Young Master, she..."
This "she" referred to Xing Siyun, who was standing to one side, her face pale with fear.
Although she had firmly stood on Xiao Ya's side, Xing Siyun was still frightened by today's scene.
Wei Wenjuan glanced at her: "Help her up."
Xing Siyun swallowed and was helped to sit on the sofa. Only then did she look down at her phone. The call interface on her phone had already ended at some point...
Wei Wenjuan asked coldly: "What are you looking at?"
"The... the phone call, Xiao Ya wanted to listen too... but it just ended."
Wei Wenjuan's tone softened a bit, but his brows were still furrowed: "When is she coming back? Did she tell you?"
"No... no."
Wei Wenjuan missed her very much.
He wanted to hug the little girl who had dared to take such risks to avenge her mother, to hold her tightly in his arms.
"Never mind, she has her own ideas," Wei Wenjuan muttered, no longer looking at Xing Siyun. He turned away and first made a call to Wei Wenqing.
"Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"
An AI voice responded from the other end: "There were some unclean people at home, I was dealing with them."
"Unclean?"
"Did Xiao Ya tell you about Xing Siyun's pregnancy?" Wei Wenqing slowly typed and played through the phone, roughly explaining how the Xing family had almost gotten away with it, and that some people from the Wei family had helped.
"Those people were left by Wei Lin, they need to be dealt with."
Wei Wenjuan sighed: "So there was such a process, Xiao Ya didn't mention it to me. Good, the domestic ones have been dealt with, now the overseas ones too."
Wei Wenqing on the other end was stunned, typing: "What do you mean?"
"Wei Lin confessed."
"..." There was a long silence on the other end.
Wei Wenjuan continued, explaining Wei Lin's confession in detail: "...In other words, back then, Wenyu only gave you the sleeping pills because she was afraid you'd be blamed by father. She wanted to keep you out of it. But she didn't expect that once she left, she'd never return."
"So, it wasn't your fault. You didn't lose Wenyu. It was Wei Lin's vicious ambition that handed Wenyu over to that bastard Li Jiang."
"..."
"Do you understand, Wenqing?"
"..." The other end was still silent, but there were now extremely faint sounds of gasping and sobbing.
After who knows how long, the cold AI voice finally spoke again: "How is Wei Lin now?"
"I chopped off his fingers one by one, and pulled out his teeth and tongue. The board wanted to gouge out his liver and gallbladder, but he'd die if we did that. How could that be allowed? He can't die so quickly. I heard the liver regenerates, so we'll see how many times he can endure having it cut out..."
"Good!" The AI voice was still emotionless, but Wei Wenjuan could hear the excitement in it.
"But how did Wei Lin confess so quickly?" Wei Wenqing asked, puzzled.
"Because of... Xiao Ya."
"Xiao Ya? What happened to her?"
Wei Wenjuan had to explain everything to his brother from the beginning.
Wei Wenqing hung up without a word.
Wei Wenjuan didn't even have time to discuss Wenyi's matter with him: "This kid isn't going to buy a plane ticket and rush over now, is he?"

Ke Muning took Xiao Ya to the seaside.
"Remember that thing?" Ke Muning pointed to the flyboarding equipment on the shore.
Xiao Ya nodded: "You were holding me then, and I swallowed a lot of seawater."
Ke Muning: "..." "You really hold grudges."
Xiao Ya tilted her head: "But I also remember love."
Ke Muning couldn't help but smile again, he hugged Xiao Ya and walked towards the shore: "Want to try it again?"
"Okay."
After putting on the equipment, Ke Muning still held her tightly in front of him.
This time when the water splashed up high and sprayed down again, Ke Muning's large hand opened to cover Xiao Ya's face.
After several rounds, Ke Muning asked: "Was it fun?"
"Mm!"
"Did you swallow any water this time?"
"No," Xiao Ya turned to look at him, "But Ke Muning, you look like a drowned rat."
Ke Muning laughed heartily: "It doesn't matter, I don't care."
He put her back on the beach and took off the equipment.
Xiao Ya grabbed his finger and tugged.
Ke Muning immediately bent down and lowered his head.
Xiao Ya took the towel from the beach chair and wiped his face: "I care."
Ke Muning was deeply moved.
Yes, she cared.
From now on, there was one more person in this world who cared about his joys and sorrows. She sincerely held grudges, and she sincerely liked him.
"Dry off, I'll take you to eat," Ke Muning firmly grasped her hand and walked towards a nearby place.
He took Xiao Ya to eat Hua Country cuisine with great swagger, bought ice cream from a street vendor, and then went to a high-end ready-to-wear store to buy a little dress and hat...
After Xiao Ya changed into her new dress, he eagerly took the little girl to attend a party in the wealthy district.
The doorman was a bit stunned when he saw him.
Yes, an invitation had been sent.
But that was just a symbolic gesture... After all, Ke Muning wasn't friends with the host of the party, and he usually didn't bother to come to such occasions.
And if he came... everyone at the party today would feel uncomfortable!
While the doorman was still in a daze, Ke Muning had already raised his hand to push him aside and strode in.
"Ke Muning... Ke Muning is here." Someone said, and the ballroom instantly fell silent, everyone silently watching him walk in with big strides.
Ke Muning was a bit annoyed.
Why didn't anyone ask who he was holding hands with?
At this moment, the host of the party finally couldn't hold back anymore. Still maintaining his host's demeanor, he walked forward with twitching eyes: "Mr. Ke Muning, this is..."
"My daughter."
"Ah?"
"What? Doesn't she look like me?" Ke Muning grabbed the end of Xiao Ya's wig, the ends gleaming golden.
The host wanted to speak but held back. Tell the truth? Easy to get shot.
Fortunately, Ke Muning seemed to be in a good mood today. He wasn't angry, and even smiled a little. Although not smiling would have been better, smiling was more terrifying.
"I'm her godfather," Ke Muning added by way of explanation.
"Oh!"
Ke Muning stared at him.
Aliali: 67358286d72ede9349450622The host suddenly felt his mouth go dry.
What... what now? He had to say something, right?
"Congratulations..." was all the host could squeeze out.
Ke Muning led Xiao Ya to one side: "Tasteless thing, doesn't even know how to give a compliment."
Xiao Ya: "..."
The upper-class social circles can be quite small at times, and when confined to a particular city, they become even smaller.
No sooner had Ke Muning appeared at the banquet with Xiao Ya than someone from the Gui Family's board of directors got wind of it.
"Have Black River's people been captured?" Someone immediately called to check on the other members of the board of directors.
"They have been..."
"Wrong! It's all wrong!" The caller's face turned ashen.
