On the way, Shen Lang tossed the contract to Xiao Yu and said, "Sign it."
Xiao Yu took the contract, read its contents, and pressed his fingerprint on his name without hesitation.
"I won't care what you do this year. But this time next year, you must appear in front of me."
After retrieving the contract from the system, Shen Lang said domineeringly, "This year has been a gift to you, and I hope you won't do anything to disappoint me."
"Otherwise, what I can give, I can also take back."
"I know," Xiao Yu replied coldly.
She had considered the consequences of her deal with Shen Lang countless times. But as a proud woman, she also had her own plans. This year was a period she had earned for herself. She wanted to accomplish what she needed to do within this short year.
Upon arriving at the Xiao family ancestral home in the eastern part of the city, Xiao Jiuzhen was lying on the old chair, his consciousness gradually fading.
Before he fell into a coma, he seemed to see his beloved little dumpling, whom he had spoiled since she was a baby, leading a strange man toward him.
"Is that Tuanzi's final destination?" After a relieved smile appeared on Xiao Jiuzhen's face, she fell into a coma.
"Grandpa!" Upon seeing this, Xiao Yu rushed to Xiao Jiuzhen's side and nervously gripped his thin wrist.
Shen Lang walked forward slowly, patted Xiao Yu on the shoulder, and said, "Don't rush, move aside a bit."
Xiao Yu glanced at Shen Lang, knowing that she could only place her hopes on the man in front of her now.
In this mortal realm, rare and precious materials are ultimately limited. She could only extend Xiao Jiuzhen's life by two years, which was already her limit. Otherwise, she would not have sold her future to ask for Xiao Jiuzhen's life for twenty years.
After Xiao Yu stepped aside, Shen Lang grabbed Xiao Jiuzhen's wrist, and a life force was transmitted into Xiao Jiuzhen's body through his hand.
Twenty seconds later, Xiao Jiuzhen, whose breathing had been weak, showed a significant improvement, and his pale face became much rosier.
It looks more like she's asleep.
"Alright, I've finished my business." After successfully extending his life, Shen Lang walked to the side and said to Xiao Yu, "This time next year, I'll be waiting for you at the top of Qingyun Mountain."
After saying that, he turned and left.
After Shen Lang left, Xiao Yu grasped Xiao Jiuzhen's wrist again. At this moment, Xiao Jiuzhen's pulse was completely different from what she had just felt; it was as lively and energetic as a dragon or a tiger.
At the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she pushed the movable armchair into Xiao Jiuzhen's room.
"Shen Lang, thank you."
After leaving the Xiao family, Shen Lang received a call from Qin Shiya.
"Boss." Qin Shiya's hurried voice came from the other end of the phone.
Shen Lang hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Shiya? What happened?"
He thought something had happened to Baiyun Villa, and a sense of anxiety welled up inside him.
Qin Shiya's voice sounded like she was about to cry: "Boss, my adoptive parents called me and said that my biological parents came to their house. They're hanging around their door and won't leave."
"Do you want to meet them?" Shen Lang asked.
Upon hearing this, Qin Shiya fell silent.
She longed to see her biological parents, but she was also afraid that they were really as Shen Lang had described, and she didn't know how to face them.
"Alright, I'll take care of it." Sensing Qin Shiya's inner turmoil, Shen Lang hung up the phone after saying that.
They then drove to the neighborhood where Qin Shiya's adoptive parents lived.
On the way, he dialed He Yongze's number.
…………
At this moment, a middle-aged couple dressed in tattered clothes and wearing straw hats were sitting downstairs in the residential area, shouting at the Ning couple.
He was also holding a banner that read: Give me back my daughter.
The Ning couple also got into an argument with the middle-aged couple.
The middle-aged couple said they had simply left Qin Shiya there, and that the Ning family had stolen her.
The Ning couple, holding their adoption certificates, also began to argue.
For a time, both sides held their own opinions and argued endlessly.
The local police officers trying to break up the fight couldn't get a word in edgewise.
After Shen Lang arrived downstairs, he pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.
Upon seeing Shen Lang, the Ning couple immediately pointed at him and shouted to the middle-aged couple, "He took your daughter away. He's your daughter's boss. You should go find him."
The middle-aged couple looked at Shen Lang upon hearing this.
When they looked at the smartly dressed, distinguished man in front of them, their eyes instantly lit up.
The two exchanged a glance, then hurriedly ran to Shen Lang, grasped his hand, and said, "Hello, hello, are you our daughter's boss?"
Shen Lang asked with a smile, "Who is your daughter? I have many employees under me, and I don't know which one is your daughter."
Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
The Ning couple scoffed at this, with Ning's mother mocking, "You don't even know your own daughter's name, where do you get the audacity to ask us to return her?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Qin Shiya's biological mother pointed at Ning's mother and cursed, "How could we not know our daughter's name?"
"Oh?" Shen Lang asked curiously, "Then hurry up and tell me!"
Qin Shiya's mother, Liu Yanhong, was speechless for a moment. She looked at Qin Shiya's father, Qin Dashan, and asked, "Husband, what did they say our daughter's name was again?"
"I think her name was something like Ya." Qin Dashan couldn't recall it for a moment.
Shen Lang wore a mocking expression, remaining silent as he watched the two of them.
After a while, Qin Dashan said loudly, "I remember now, they named my daughter Qin Zhiya."
"Yes, yes, let's call her Qin Zhiya."
Shen Lang shook his head and said with a regretful look, "I'm sorry, I don't have any employees named Qin Zhiya."
"You're talking nonsense." Upon hearing this, Liu Hongyan pointed her finger directly at Shen Lang and said, "I think you're a human trafficker who kidnapped my daughter and is afraid to admit it."
Shen Lang curled his lip and said to the police officer, "Officer, you have to stand up for me. These two people slandered me as a human trafficker in public, which is damaging my reputation."
The police officer smiled apologetically at Shen Lang, then walked up to Qin Dashan and his wife and said, "Uncle and Aunt, the child's name isn't Qin Zhiya, it's Qin Shiya. You've got it wrong."
The Qin couple had been bothering the Ning couple in this neighborhood for several days, and the local police officer was tired of hearing about it.
"Oh right, her name is Qin Shiya. We remembered it wrong," Qin Dashan quickly corrected himself.
Liu Hongyan looked at Shen Lang shyly, revealing her yellow teeth, and said with a smile, "Young man, don't you think we should call our daughter over?"
"Sigh!" Shen Lang sighed, his expression suddenly turning serious. "Luckily you arrived early."
