Fortunately, a stray kitten appeared just in time to save Fu Yan Ting and Yao Wan Qi.
Seeing the stray kitten, Old Mr. Yao finally relaxed. However, he still replaced the bodyguards and coldly instructed, "It's better to be careful."
The bodyguard nodded.
Only then did Old Mr. Yao turn to leave.
But he was very suspicious, and kept looking back every few steps. Fortunately, Fu Yan Ting understood Old Mr. Yao well and knew he was this kind of person, so he didn't come out in a hurry, thus narrowly escaping disaster.
It wasn't until Old Mr. Yao's figure disappeared that Yao Wan Qi and Fu Yan Ting walked out together from not far away. Fu Yan Ting was now certain that Yan Xi was in trouble, and that Old Mr. Yao was inextricably linked to Yan Xi's predicament.
He had to rescue Yan Xi first.
Yao Wan Qi gently patted Fu Yan Ting's arm, and Fu Yan Ting snapped back to attention. Looking at Yao Wan Qi, she took him to the dark room where Yan Xi was being held.
Yao Wan Qi seemed very resistant to the place. As soon as they arrived, she started to have a severe headache and, unable to control her emotions, began to self-harm.
Fu Yan Ting had intended to ask about Yan Xi's whereabouts, but seeing Yao Wan Qi in this state, he couldn't ask. He could only try to comfort her.
The bodyguards heard the commotion and rushed over. Fu Yan Ting, helpless, had to leave with Yao Wan Qi. He would find Yan Xi himself when the opportunity arose.
The bodyguards dared not let anything happen to Yan Xi. After a quick check, they saw that Yan Xi was still in the dark room, only unconscious. They did not dare to delay and rushed to report to Old Mr. Yao. Kuaishu Ge
Old Mr. Yao did not believe Yan Xi was that weak. He was unaware of Yan Xi's previous miscarriage, so he thought Yan Xi was faking it to lower their guard and escape.
He decided to see Yan Xi himself. When he arrived at the dark room, the bodyguard opened the door. Yan Xi was curled up in a corner. Old Mr. Yao winked at the bodyguard, who turned on the light. The sudden brightness was blinding, and Yan Xi instinctively shielded her eyes with her hands.
Old Mr. Yao coldly observed Yan Xi, knowing that Fu Yan Ting would surely come to rescue her.
Old Mr. Yao indifferently commanded, "Take off her clothes and take some photos to post online."
The bodyguards understood and did as Old Mr. Yao said.
But as soon as they pulled down Yan Xi's sleeve, they saw the birthmark on her arm.
Now, the bodyguards dared not act rashly and quickly reported to Old Mr. Yao. Upon hearing this, Old Mr. Yao stepped forward to examine the birthmark on Yan Xi's arm.
After a while, Old Mr. Yao slowly said, "Put her clothes back on. No one is to know about this. Investigate it secretly."
Yan Xi and Yan Xiao were both daughters of Yan Jia Peng, and both had birthmarks on their arms.
However, the difference was that Kong Ya Lan had told Old Mr. Yao that Yan Xiao was his granddaughter, and that his grandson had already died.
Yan Xi, on the other hand, had a twin brother.
So, the answer as to who his true granddaughter was, was already evident. However, Old Mr. Yao never did anything without certainty. Even if he knew the answer, he still needed a definitive one.
Old Mr. Yao ordered the bodyguards to call the family doctor and perform a paternity test on Yan Xi.
While waiting for the test results, Old Mr. Yao visited Yan Xiao in the hospital. To Old Mr. Yao, Yan Xiao was not particularly impressive, but she could still be a useful pawn.
His greatest strength was how he treated his pawns, which was why he personally came to visit Yan Xiao in the hospital.
Yan Xiao was surprised that Old Mr. Yao would personally visit her in the hospital.
She felt very pleased and coquettishly said to Old Mr. Yao, "Grandpa, I want to be discharged. It's so boring in the hospital."
"Your body hasn't recovered yet. You should stay for a few more days for observation," Old Mr. Yao replied calmly.
But Yan Xiao insisted on being discharged. Old Mr. Yao frowned. Very well, he thought, let Yan Xiao return to the Yao family to pester Fu Yan Ting and distract him. That way, Fu Yan Ting wouldn't be constantly thinking about Yan Xi.
Old Mr. Yao had the bodyguards handle Yan Xiao's discharge procedures.
Yan Xiao felt even more pleased. Old Mr. Yao was too good to her, fulfilling her every little request. Even when she was unreasonable, Old Mr. Yao would comply without question.
After being discharged, Yan Xiao eagerly returned to the Yao family. She was worried that while she was recuperating in the hospital, Fu Yan Ting's feelings for that bitch Yan Xi would grow. She had to come back to disrupt things.
Yan Xiao somehow learned of Yan Xi's whereabouts and found her. She looked down at Yan Xi condescendingly and said with a cold laugh, "Yan Xi, I warned you long ago that snatching a man from me would have no good ending. Even if I don't deal with you, the Yao family won't let you off."
Yan Xi hadn't eaten or drunk for days and was very weak. She didn't want to talk to Yan Xiao at all, but Yan Xiao didn't intend to let her off easily.
"Yan Xi, if I were you, I would let go of Fu Yan Ting now. At least you could save yourself some dignity."
Yan Xi cast a cold glance at Yan Xiao but still ignored her. Yan Xiao had intended to humiliate Yan Xi in her distressed state, but she didn't expect Yan Xi to still have a spine.
This made Yan Xiao even more furious.
Yan Xiao glared at Yan Xi and raised her hand to slap her, but was stopped by bodyguards who arrived in time. Although the bodyguards hadn't revealed Yan Xi's true identity in front of Yan Xiao, their actions made Yan Xiao somewhat apprehensive.
The bodyguards knew she was the daughter of the Yao family, yet they treated her like this. Had they discovered something?
No, she had to get rid of Yan Xi quickly.
Yan Xiao could no longer care about anything else, wanting only to return to her room and contact Kong Ya Lan for help.
After Yan Xiao left, the bodyguard looked at Yan Xi. Knowing Yan Xi's identity, the bodyguard did not dare to be negligent and said calmly, "Miss Yan, our master wishes to see you. Please accompany us."
Yan Xi naturally knew that "our master" referred to Old Mr. Yao.
However, she didn't know why he wanted to see her.
If he wanted to kill her, he could have just said so directly, instead of beating around the bush.
Yan Xi didn't want to see him, but thinking of the damp, dark room, she also wanted to leave.
Only by leaving this place could she have a chance to escape.
After a brief moment of consideration, Yan Xi followed the bodyguard to Old Mr. Yao's study.
