Zhu Jingwei hurriedly called the housekeeper in to speak.
"Is there news?" Her eyes were urgent. "Quickly, mobilize our people to help Young Master Huo! Zhao Jiang... Miss Huo can stay with me for now, I can take care of her. You all need to go and rescue people!"
"Professor Zhu, rest assured," the butler said with a smile. "Young Master Jingnan of the Huo family has already sought help from his former comrades. Special forces soldiers are more experienced and more efficient than us."
Zhu Jingwei breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still urged Lin Zhaojiang to go and take a look together.
Just then, someone came to say that Huo Jiayuan had woken up and immediately wanted to find Teacher Song.
Song Wan hurriedly walked towards her bedroom.
Only Lin Zhaojiang and Zhu Jingwei remained in the study. Just as Zhu Jingwei was about to go back to her room to rest, Lin Zhaojiang suddenly called out to her.
"Auntie, did that Ms. Xu Yanqing... really have a child with He Cangwu?"
Zhu Jingwei was suddenly taken aback.
Lin Zhaojiang's eyes were deep, and he hesitated several times as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Just now, he heard his aunt talk about Xu Yanqing's past, and heard the brief mention that "she gave birth to He Cangwu's daughter."
A thought flashed through his mind in an instant...
“Yes,” Zhu Jingwei said softly. “Although I had publicly severed my teacher-student relationship with her at that time, I still couldn’t help but care about her. Yan Qing gave herself to He Cangwu by mistake, but that man turned around and married Duan Jinrong for the sake of his family’s interests… Alas, it’s also my fault. Back then, because of that bit of pride, I refused to see her no matter what.”
"You haven't seen that child?"
“I saw her once from afar,” Zhu Jingwei said thoughtfully. “After Yan Qing gave birth to this child, she also broke ties with her family. Once I secretly went to see her, and she was taking a walk in the park with her child… I said a few words to her, and she cried and confessed to me, letting me hold her child. By the way, it was a girl, about five or six months old, and she was very cute.”
"After that day, I planned to use some of my connections to help her get back to writing. I gave her some money, and she said she felt bad taking my money for nothing, so she wrote me a piece of calligraphy..."
Zhu Jingwei opened the safe and took out Xu Yanqing's handwriting.
Lin Zhaojiang suddenly realized that the calligraphy that Song Wan had written last time was also among them.
"this……"
“I think Miss Song’s handwriting is a bit like Yan Qing’s,” Zhu Jingwei explained. “That night, it was a coincidence. I took her handwriting over to compare, and I actually discovered a hidden compartment in Yan Qing’s calligraphy. The note in the middle of the compartment was the combination to the bank’s safe deposit box.”
"Looking back now, Yan Qing probably already knew she didn't have long to live that day," Zhu Jingwei said solemnly. "That's why she arranged everything and hid it in this calligraphy."
"After you met Miss Xu that day, did you ask anyone to help her?"
"No." Zhu Jingwei said with deep regret, "Just when I was thinking of helping her, I received news of her death... He Cangwu now has a son and a daughter, a happy family, but what about Yan Qing? What about her child? I get so angry just thinking about it!"
“Auntie,” Lin Zhaojiang said firmly, “have you ever considered that Xu Yanqing’s daughter might have just been standing in front of you?”

"Where do you two think you can go? Where else could you possibly go?"
He Yining's laughter echoed in the small, secret room.
"Are you crazy?!" He Nianhui roared. "Do you even know who he is... He's from the Huo family! If you dare offend the Huo family, you'll die a horrible death!"
“I know he’s from the Huo family!” He Yining raised an eyebrow, emphasizing each word, “But I also know that he’s the one who knows my secret!”
"Your little secret is probably already common knowledge." He Nianhui was fearless at this moment. Looking at the crazed He Yining in front of him, he had a resolute determination to die together with her.
You can't mess with a mad dog, but you can kill it.
In fact, he had this idea from the first day he discovered He Yining's secret, from the first time He Yining arranged for several doctors to force him to inject drugs.
“He Yining!” Huo Junyang also stood up.
After two days without food or water, even though he was usually in good physical condition, he was feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
He Nianhui looked even weaker. He was already pale, but now he looked like a blank sheet of paper, completely devoid of color.
"You two are really quite amusing," He Yining sneered. "You're about to die, and you're still trying to act tough with everyone."
He Nianhui was about to say something when Huo Junyang stopped him. He pressed down on the back of his hand, signaling with his eyes not to speak.
"Yeah, we're all going to die anyway." Huo Junyang curled his lips in disdain. "But I've been wronged this time. I was brought here by you without any explanation... You have to let me die knowing why, right?"
“You don’t need to die knowing why,” He Yining glanced at him sideways, “you just need to die!”
“Miss He,” Huo Junyang said calmly, “since I can’t escape now anyway, why don’t you do a good deed and just tell me the answer? It’ll be a good deed for yourself!”
“I disappeared at your He family’s banquet. If my parents find out, they will definitely not let the He family off the hook… Miss He, what you want in this life is nothing more than the wealth and status of the He family’s daughter, right? But if my parents investigate, you won’t be able to keep any of these things!”
"Shut up!" He Yining trembled all over.
She's lost her mind; she just wants to destroy the whole world!
"You're not my sister at all." He Nianhui coldly curled her lips. "Ten years ago, I discovered that you needed insulin injections to survive. You have type 1 diabetes! You're that old woman's child. You're not my sister at all. Song Wan is!"
"Hahaha!" He Yining laughed, glaring at him fiercely. "Xiao Hui, this answer might disappoint you! I am indeed not the real daughter of the He family, but you are not the young master of the He family either!"
"What?" He Nianhui's mind went blank.
"You are not your father's son; you were born to your mother and another man!"
He Nianhui felt a buzzing sound in his ears, and something inside him collapsed in that instant.
He suddenly knelt on the ground, a surge of heat rushed up his chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!
"He Nianhui!" Huo Junyang rushed over to support him, but his body was limp, as if he would vanish into thin air at any moment.
He Nianhui gently pushed Huo Junyang's hand away and smiled bitterly.
"For the sake of our years of sibling relationship, I'll tell you the truth!" He Yining looked at him coldly, "Mom and Dad have no feelings for each other at all. Dad has always loved someone else... The child that woman had with Dad is Song Wan!"
"And you are just a mistake that Mom made in a moment of confusion!"
"Ha, now you know why your parents haven't cared about you all these years, right? Your father has no feelings for you, and your mother sees you as a mistake. Why would they care about you?"
