Unlocking her phone, a message popped up.
Yan Xi opened it to find a letter from Yan Yi.
A bad feeling settled in Yan Xi's heart; she felt as though something would happen to Yan Yi.
Yan Xi didn't know how much courage it took for her to finally open the letter.
The contents of the letter were brief, simply telling Yan Xi not to worry about him, that he would take care of himself, and that he swore to protect Yan Xi's safety. He meant what he said.
Although the letter was short, Yan Xi could clearly sense Yan Yi's resolute attitude.
This made Yan Xi even more certain that Yan Yi was in trouble.
Or rather, Yan Yi had done something foolish for Yan Xi.
Yan Xi looked up at Meng Shiwen and softly asked, "When did Yan Yi give you the phone?"
"About half an hour ago. However, Yan Yi seemed a bit strange, like something was about to happen. But I don't know him well, so I couldn't really say."
Yan Xi dared not go to Mr. Yao, nor could she tell him about Yan Yi. Xiang Jingchen was also in low spirits and not recovering well in the hospital. Yan Xi couldn't tell Xiang Jingchen about such an important matter.
But in Kyoto, Yan Xi knew no one familiar and didn't know who to consult. Helpless, she had no choice but to seek out Fu Yanting again.
Seeing Yan Xi return, Fu Yanting was no longer as happy as before. He glanced at Yan Xi indifferently and asked, "Didn't you leave? What are you doing back here?"
Yan Xi knew Fu Yanting was still angry about the previous incident. Since she needed his help, she had to humble herself. She looked at Fu Yanting and softly said, "Fu Yanting."
Fu Yanting turned around and glared at Yan Xi, remaining silent.
Yan Xi mustered her courage, thinking that Fu Yanting had said they weren't divorced yet.
Yan Xi softly called out, "Husband."
This long-absent address made Fu Yanting's heart race. His Adam's apple bobbed as he looked at Yan Xi. Although Fu Yanting knew very well that Yan Xi must be in trouble and was only calling him that out of need, otherwise, with Yan Xi's personality, she would be eager to divorce him. Why would she try to appease him?
Yet, he savored this feeling of being appeased.
"Yi Yi is in trouble, and I'm very worried about him. I wanted to know if you know anyone in Kyoto who can help me find Yi Yi."
As expected, Fu Yanting's face darkened, and he asked indifferently, "Yan Xi, do you think too highly of yourself?"
"You've come to appease me for another man. What, do you think I have no temper? Or do you think I love you so much that I'll grant you any request?"
Upon hearing Fu Yanting say this, Yan Xi knew he wouldn't help her.
Yan Xi had no choice but to get up and leave.
Fu Yanting had finally managed to get Yan Xi to come, and now she was about to leave. He felt a pang of regret. Frowning, he said indifferently, "I might help you, but only if you spend a night with me."
Fu Yanting's words were veiled, but Yan Xi wasn't foolish and understood the implied meaning.
Yan Xi had no other choice. For Yi Yi's sake, she had to do this.
Yan Xi looked at Fu Yanting and, without much hesitation, agreed.
Yan Xi asked, "Is it now? Or after you're discharged from the hospital?"
Fu Yanting disliked Yan Xi's attitude. She didn't see herself as Mrs. Fu at all; she was acting like those women who sold themselves.
Fu Yanting gave Yan Xi a cold glance and said impatiently, "You owe me. We'll talk about it after I'm discharged."
With that, he called Xin Yi.
Upon receiving his boss's order, Xin Yi immediately set out to find Yan Yi.
However, whether it was Xin Yi's incompetence or Yan Yi's excellent ability to hide, Xin Yi couldn't find Yan Yi after searching all day.
Xin Yi could only return to the hospital and report to Fu Yanting.
Fu Yanting frowned upon hearing this.
After all, this was Kyoto, not Yancheng. It was understandable that Xin Yi couldn't find Yan Yi.
It seemed that to find Yan Yi quickly, he would need to hire special bodyguards.
In Kyoto, special bodyguards also had another identity: assassins.
However, only wealthy individuals could afford to hire them.
Fu Yanting paid ten billion to hire special bodyguards to search for Yan Yi's whereabouts.
An hour later, Yan Yi was rescued from prison.
However, Yan Yi was stubborn and refused to leave with them. Yan Yi had come to take the blame for Yan Xi. Regarding Kong Yalan's accusation that Yan Xi murdered Yan Xiao, Yan Yi took full responsibility. He confessed to intentionally murdering Yan Xiao out of jealousy. The police did not question further and quickly filed the case.
Therefore, Yan Yi was detained.
But these fierce-looking men were trying to take Yan Yi away. Yan Yi didn't know who they were and dared not go with them rashly.
However, Yan Yi had been hospitalized for a long time, and his body was still weak. He was no match for these men and was soon taken away.
Upon arriving at the hospital and seeing Fu Yanting, Yan Yi realized that these were the people Fu Yanting had sent to find him.
Yan Yi frowned and asked, "Brother-in-law, why did you bring me out?"
"Only criminals confess their guilt. You didn't kill anyone, so why confess?"
Yan Yi averted his gaze, not daring to meet Fu Yanting's eyes. He hadn't killed anyone, but his sister, Yan Xi, had.
"I will find someone to investigate Yan Xiao's death clearly. What you need to do now is study hard and not worry your sister. Leave everything else to me."
"I don't need you to manage my affairs."
This was the first time Yan Yi had spoken to Fu Yanting in such a tone.
Perhaps Yan Yi had made up his mind to take the blame for Yan Xi and didn't want to live anymore, which gave him the courage to speak to Fu Yanting like this.
"Heh, if your sister hadn't asked me, do you think I would bother with you?"
Fu Yanting's attitude was cold and distant, his tone laced with sarcasm, as if mocking Yan Yi's overestimation of himself.
At this moment, Xin Yi came over and reported the entire situation to Fu Yanting.
Fu Yanting looked up at Yan Yi and slowly uttered two words: "Stupid."
Fu Yanting instructed Xin Yi to settle Yan Yi down, then called Yan Xi and asked her to come to the hospital.
Yan Xi initially didn't want to deal with Fu Yanting, but thinking of Yan Yi, she had no choice but to suppress her feelings and appear in the ward. She looked at Fu Yanting and asked, "Do you have any instructions for calling me here?"
"No instructions. I just wanted to tell you that I've rescued your brother, but it cost quite a bit of money. You see..."
"It's fine, I'll write you an IOU and pay you in installments."
Before Fu Yanting could finish speaking, Yan Xi cut him off.
