Su Youli is forced to marry as a substitute, suppressing her true nature to become the obedient replacement that satisfies Li Tingxi—servicing him in bed at night and working tirelessly by day.
...Is Chapter 616 in danger?
Before we knew it, it was already dawn.
"Babies, are you awake?" Wenxi knocked on the door from outside. "Yangyang, hurry up and get ready, we're about to leave."
"Departure? Where to..." Xingxing suddenly slapped her forehead. "Oh no, brother, you're supposed to go for a doctor's checkup today. Mom will be angry if she finds out you stayed up all night."
Yangyang felt a glimmer of light flash through his mind, as if he was about to unlock some incredible idea. However, urged on by the stars and the outside world, he couldn't grasp this crucial light for a moment and quickly closed his laptop and went outside.
When Wenxi saw Yangyang's bloodshot eyes, she was immediately startled. "Baby, do you have conjunctivitis? Why are your eyes so swollen? Did you play games all night last night?"
Xingxing immediately retorted, "Yangyang rarely plays games; he's a big shot in the game industry."
"That's true." Wenxi quickly made an egg to roll in his eyes, and said with concern, "There have been too many troubles lately, and you've been running around everywhere. It's normal that you're tired."
Feeling guilty, Yangyang didn't refute. She looked around and asked curiously, "Where are the others?"
“That Jack recruited a lot of people, and your dad went to deal with the mastermind behind it all; your mom, at Aunt Rebecca's request, went to the hospital early this morning to visit Lu Mingxuan.” Wen Xi ate breakfast with the little one. “Today, Grandma is playing at home with Xingxing and Yueyue, and I'm taking you to Professor Richard for your checkup…”
Seeing the little guy's worried expression, I said, "Don't worry, your mom and the others will come over as soon as they're done with their work, and they'll definitely accompany you to get a proper checkup."
Yangyang grabbed her hand and asked nervously, "Godmother, is Mom with someone? Where is... Dad?"
"Oh? They brought them. Zhou Lang and his brother went to the hospital with your mother, and Qin He went to the police station with his bodyguards and Li Tingxi." Wen Xi's expression tightened. "Could there be some problem? Are they in danger?"
Yangyang asked about the accompanying list but found nothing wrong, so he shook his head and said, "It's nothing, everyone they brought is safe. I'll tell them the details in person when everyone comes back."
He glanced at the stars.
The little guy finally showed some intelligence and immediately promised, "Don't worry, I will stay at home. Haven't the bodyguards outside already checked everything? Today I will protect Grandma and my sister and I will definitely not step out of the house."
"Smart." Yangyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Xi roughly understood what was going on and immediately made a call to reinforce security. She also sent messages to Su Youling and Qin He, telling them to be careful of the people around them and to be wary of attacks.
After settling into her home, Wenxi led her bodyguard team to Professor Richard's house, being extremely cautious along the way, and becoming extra nervous at the slightest disturbance.
Yangyang couldn't bear to watch any longer and whispered to comfort her, "Godmother, the targets of Mrs. Ferro's revenge are Mom and Li... Dad. She only sent Carlos, so it's difficult for her to fully track our movements. Therefore, this kind of suddenly arranged trip is relatively the safest."
“You have a point.” Wen Xi relaxed for less than a second before her expression suddenly tightened again. “However, there’s a reason why Mrs. Ferro’s legendary status in the martial arts world has endured for so long. She knew your parents were not easy to deal with, and even a fool would know to target their weaknesses.”
#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!
Yangyang nodded. "So I spent a whole night checking everyone around us, even the sanitation workers who pass by our house every day. Unfortunately, we still couldn't find anything wrong."
“If I were Mrs. Ferro, and I didn’t want to launch a large-scale retaliation plan, but instead sent a psychologist on a secret mission, I would definitely be looking for a direct weapon that could threaten Su Su and Li Tingxi’s fatal weaknesses…” Wen Xi pinched her brow and muttered softly, “and it would be the kind that hits the mark immediately.”
"What?" Yangyang felt as if the tangled mess in her mind had found its source for a moment, and she was eager to grasp something.
Just then, the car stopped.
From afar, Wen Xi saw Professor Richard standing elegantly at the door with his assistant. She quickly suppressed the thoughts of revenge and conspiracy in her mind and comforted Yang Yang, saying, "It's nothing. Catching Carlos is an adult's business. You've done all you can. The most important thing now is to get healthy so that we can all rest assured."
"Let's go, don't keep the professor waiting for us in the wind at his age." She led Yangyang out of the car, smiled and walked towards Professor Richard, exchanging polite greetings.
Professor Richard glanced back and casually asked, "Why is it Miss Wen who brought Yangyang today?"
“Su Su went to the hospital to visit an injured friend, and Li Tingxi went to handle the aftermath of the kidnapping case. But they'll be here soon after they're done. Our checkup will take at least two hours, right? We have enough time!” Wen Xi led Yangyang inside. “We're going to have to trouble the professor again! Our Yangyang is great in every way, but he doesn't take his health seriously. He even stayed up all night last night…”
She deliberately said sarcastically, "If his parents found out, they'd be furious."
Yangyang lowered her eyes and remained rationally silent.
“Children will always have some instincts that adults can’t control.” Professor Richard smiled kindly, first using the methods of ‘observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation’ to inquire about Yangyang’s condition, before listing a series of examination items and handing them over to his assistant to arrange.
"Overall, the situation isn't as bad as I imagined. Yangyang's recovery was quite good before, but he's been working hard and stressed lately, which has damaged his health. I'll do some tests and analyze the situation again, and then readjust the subsequent treatment plan based on his current physical condition."
"Thank you so much." Wen Xi was extremely grateful.
Without this old man, they would probably have faced the tragedy of Yangyang's departure sooner or later... So her gratitude towards the old man was overflowing, and she wished she could treat him like a living bodhisattva, completely unaware that something was amiss.
Yangyang looked around and felt that something was wrong.
Seeing Professor Richard chatting and laughing so freely, he suddenly asked, "Grandpa Professor, where are the servants? The house seems a bit quiet today."
Professor Richard sighed, "I'm getting old, and it's always so quiet and lonely around me. My Filipino maid's child is sick, so I gave her two days off. The bodyguards are all out patrolling, and I don't really pay attention to them unless something's going on."
He paused, then smiled at Yangyang. "What's wrong? Are you worried about enemies coming? Don't worry, the security here is excellent."
"Yangyang probably developed TSD because of what happened before." Wenxi gritted her teeth with hatred for Chen Xiyue whenever this was mentioned.
At the same time, she also remembered someone who had almost been forgotten.
