Chapter 473 Is the child still alive?
He rang the doorbell loudly, and within seconds a maid came and opened the door.
Zhang Xiuyi had just rolled up her sleeves, ready to pluck the chicken's feathers, when she suddenly looked up and saw the man in front of her, and she shrank back in fright.
Yan Jin!
How did he find his way here?
This world is so small!
Director Zhuang was startled when he saw Yan Jin rush into someone else's yard without a care in the world from the third-floor window.
He's just killing a chicken, why is he causing trouble?
Without thinking, he quickly ran down as well.
"Aunt."
Yan Jin called out politely, her voice trembling uncontrollably.
How are you feeling?
Zhang Xiuyi nodded, forcing a stiff expression: "Okay, everything's fine."
Her heart was in her throat, about to jump out of her chest.
Is Xiaoya there?
Yan Jin's gaze was intense, fixed intently on her.
"I want to see her."
He tried hard to control his excitement, but the last syllable of his voice betrayed him.
Zhang Xiuyi was a little at a loss. She tried to force a smile, but her eyes darted around.
"Xiaoya, she went on a world tour."
"I don't know where she is now. It seems like she's... on some island for a vacation. I haven't been keeping an eye on her much."
Upon hearing this, Yan Jin's heart sank.
He suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhang Xiuyi's shoulder, the force so strong that it made her frown.
"Auntie, I really want to see Xiaoya."
"There was a misunderstanding between us before, and I need to explain it to her in person!"
"Could you tell me her address? I've been looking for her for over six months, and I really miss her."
Yan Jin's words were broken, and her eyes instantly reddened.
Zhang Xiuyi felt a pang of pity seeing him like this.
However, the thought that he had doubted his daughter's loyalty before made him unable to suppress his anger.
"Mr. Yan."
She pulled her hand away from his, her tone turning cold.
"I'm just working for this wealthy family, so please don't make things difficult for me."
"I really don't know where Xiaoya is now. You should leave first."
"Impossible!" Yan Jin completely lost control of her emotions.
"She must be here! Xiaoya! Don't hide from me! Xiaoya!"
He shouted, and then, like a wild beast out of control, rushed upstairs to look for Tang Xiaoya.
He pushed open the doors of each room one by one.
"Xiaoya!"
"Xiaoya, come out here!"
Zhang Xiuyi was so frightened that she panicked and frantically pulled out her phone to make a call.
"Xiaoya, something terrible has happened! Yan Jin has come to our house! You and your sister must leave immediately!"
Suddenly, Yan Jin opened the door to a room at the end of the corridor.
A familiar, sweet fragrance wafted towards me; it was her scent, faint and pink.
He rushed into the room and yanked open the wardrobe.
Inside, all the clothes hanging were maternity wear!
There were also several unopened baby bottles on the table.
Could it be...?
Is the child still alive?
His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his chest.
He rushed into the room next door, which turned out to be a cozy children's room!
A crib, a rocking horse, and a bunch of cute toys.
He grabbed a small rattle drum and a maternity dress from the bed and ran downstairs like a madman.
He rushed up to Zhang Xiuyi and spread out what he was holding.
"What are these? Are they Xiaoya's things?"
"Is the child still alive? Where is she now?"
A barrage of questions left Zhang Xiuyi completely bewildered.
She realized what was happening, immediately stepped forward, snatched the item from his hand, and angrily shouted at him.
“Mr. Yan! These are my mistress, Miss Rong’s, personal belongings! How dare you take them without permission? This is extremely rude! Please leave immediately!”
Upon seeing this, the two bodyguards immediately stepped forward and said something rude.
"Sir, please leave. You are trespassing."
Director Zhuang happened to run over, panting, and quickly apologized.
"Excuse me! I've disturbed you! I'll take him away right away!"
Yan Jin was unwilling to leave. He stared intently at Zhang Xiuyi, his voice pleading.
"Auntie, please tell me Xiaoya's address. I really want to see her."
"I said I don't know!" Zhang Xiuyi said coldly, turning away and refusing to look at him again.
Upon hearing this, Director Zhuang roughly guessed what was going on, and he pulled Yan Jin's arm forcefully.
"Let's go over there first, then figure out a solution. Let's not embarrass them."
Yan Jin was then reluctantly dragged out.
As soon as he stepped out, the maid slammed the door shut and locked it.
Zhang Xiuyi's phone rang again; it was Tang Xiaoya calling.
She ran into her room, closed the door, and only then dared to answer the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Tang Xiaoya spoke very quickly, without a trace of emotion.
"Mom, don't worry about it."
"Take my identification and leave immediately. Bring your bodyguards and servants too."
"Someone will pick you up; you'll change cars once you leave the residential area."
Zhang Xiuyi didn't dare to think too much. She quickly packed her things and then got into the car with her people and drove away.
It's a pity that the old hen that was just killed wasn't cooked yet.
As soon as Yan Jin returned to the entrance of her villa, she saw a minivan driving out of the garage next door.
His pupils contracted, and he immediately called Yun Mu.
"They've driven out of the residential area now. Follow her! Follow her secretly. If you see Tang Xiaoya, you must stop her!"
Director Zhuang pulled him back to the villa, handed him a glass of water, and calmly advised him.
“That villa next door does indeed belong to Miss Rong. Besides, she has had children before. Aren’t you being too sensitive?”
Yan Jin's tone was firm and left no room for argument.
"It can't be wrong."
“I trust my gut feeling; she must still be here. She wouldn’t abandon her mother.”
"I'll be going now, I'll visit you another day."
After saying that, Yan Jin strode out.
He got into another car that was waiting for him, and soon after, Yun Mu called.
"President Yan, Zhang Xiuyi and the others have changed cars and are heading towards the airport! I'm going with them now, so hurry up!"
"Send men to the airport immediately to intercept their car!"
Yan Jin's orders were swift and ruthless.
"Surround her! We absolutely cannot let Xiaoya escape! But whatever you do, don't lay a hand on her, don't hurt her!"
"yes!"
After hanging up the phone, Yan Jin was completely flustered.
He will be able to see Xiaoya soon.
Tang Xiaoya, stop hiding from me.
When Yan Jin arrived at the airport, the car that Yun Mu had followed opened its door.
The bodyguards and servants came down from inside, but Zhang Xiuyi was nowhere to be seen.
how so?
I clearly saw Zhang Xiuyi get into this car, so did it run away from the other side?
Yan Jin rushed over and shouted, "Where is she? Where is Zhang Xiuyi? Where did she go? Where are you going?"
One of the bodyguards said, "We're here at the airport to pick someone up, of course. Miss Rong will be here soon."
Yan Jin sneered; he didn't believe in any Miss Rong.
He said coldly, "Take them away."
He wanted to go back and investigate slowly. He needed to know whose maternity clothes those were and whether Xiaoya had been living in that house all along.
Suddenly, three luxury cars drove up.
The door of the middle car opened, and Nan Wan and Lu Qinglin got out.
Ten bodyguards in black got out of the two cars and surrounded them.
Nan Wan said bluntly, "Yan Jin, why are you everywhere? You even dare to steal my person?"
With just one glance, everyone drew their guns.
Yun Mu was startled; the Southern Gang had become incredibly arrogant.
Yan Jin showed no fear. "Xiao Ya's child wasn't aborted, right? You lied to me."
Nanwan sneered, "Where do you get your confidence? Do you even deserve to have children?"
Yan Jin's face darkened considerably.
"I will handle my own affairs with Xiaoya."
Lu Qinglin was furious. "Yan Jin, your relentless pursuit isn't love, it's hurt. If you truly love her, give her time and space. Otherwise, you'll only push her further away from you."
"That's all I have to say. Next time, we won't hold back."
Lu Qinglin waved his hand, and everyone packed up their things and got into the car.
The bodyguards and servants from earlier were also taken away by Nanwan's people.
Yan Jin clenched her fists tightly.
He was so close to seeing her.
Yun Mu said, "President Yan, it was my oversight."
Yan Jin said, "Go to the neighborhood and investigate. Have you seen her face? I need to know if her child is still alive, and who is actually living in that house?"
"yes."
He then asked, "Does the airport still need to be guarded?"
Yan Jin said, "No need, we can't hold out any longer."
At this moment, Tang Xiaoya, Tang Ling, and Zhang Xiuyi are on a large ship.
Tang Xiaoya was wrapped up in a large coat, completely covered up, because her wound was constantly pulling at her and causing her pain; she had walked too hastily.
That bastard can't he just let her stay in the hospital for a few days in peace?
Tang Ling held the child in her arms, while Zhang Xiuyi helped Tang Xiaoya into the cabin.
I have no choice but to leave for now.
When we bought Miss Rong's villa, we weren't in a hurry to transfer the ownership. Moreover, the fact that Miss Rong had been pregnant was the best cover for her.
However, she really loves this city, and she will come back.
The next day, Yunmu was extremely efficient, conducting an almost exhaustive search.
But the news he brought back was a bucket of cold water.
"Mr. Yan, I've asked everyone—the property management, the security guards, and the several permanent residents in the neighborhood."
Yun Mu's tone carried a hint of frustration.
"No one has ever seen anyone who matches Miss Tang's description."
"All they know is that the owner of Villa No. 1 is named Rong Yu."
Yan Jin leaned back on the sofa, a long trail of cigarette ash stuck between her fingertips.
He didn't speak, but the air pressure around him was frighteningly low.
A van slowly pulled up in front of Villa No. 1.
The car door opened, and a woman wearing a beige trench coat and sunglasses stepped out.
She is tall and slender, with a capable demeanor and a neat short haircut. She exudes an aura that says "Don't mess with me."
Most importantly, she was holding a baby wrapped tightly in swaddling clothes.
The woman, carrying the child, skillfully opened the villa door and went inside.
It seems he really was wrong.
The maternity clothes are hers.
The nursery is hers.
The baby bottle was hers too.
Was Zhang Xiuyi's existence a coincidence?
The hope that had ignited all his madness was extinguished in that instant.
Not even a spark remained.
When Yan Jin returned to Qingcheng, he was utterly exhausted, as if he had fallen into endless darkness once more. He had been so close to her, yet in the end, he had gained nothing.
Suddenly, his phone rang; it was Shen Xin calling.
"Have you found them?"
"No." He said dejectedly.
"Tang Xiaoya returned to Ancheng. Little Black Bull stole some of my wine and was talking nonsense when he accidentally revealed it."
Yan Jin sat up straight instantly...
