Chapter 77: Greedy
"Who are you and why are you in my house? What did you just do to us?"
The two were finally able to move, and while panicking, they did not forget to question them.
"Mr. Yi, Mrs. Yi, I'm Gu Yuan from the state's special department. You are suspected of participating in feudal superstition and need to come with me."
Seeing that they looked ugly and questioned Qing Yanrou in a deep voice, Gu Yuan walked over unhappily and took out his work ID and said to them.
Although the Yi couple didn't know what kind of unit this special department was, when they heard him talk about feudal superstition, their faces instantly turned ugly, and they remembered what happened before.
They ignored what Gu Yuan said. They nervously searched the living room and saw Yi Fanling sitting at the entrance with his head down. They walked over anxiously.
"Fan Ling, where's Cong An? Did you succeed?"
Mrs. Yi squeezed her shoulders tightly with both hands and asked excitedly.
Yi Cong'an was dizzy and dazed from her shaking, and his face was injured. When they woke up, the first thing they did was to care about Yi Cong'an!
She couldn't help but clench her palms, her nails digging into them, suppressing her emotions, slightly pulling down the corners of her mouth, and said to them in a sweet tone:
"It didn't work out. My sister's roommate ruined it."
After saying this, he lowered his head again and concealed the emotions in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, the Yi family couple was stunned for a moment, and then Mrs. Yi asked sharply:
"What? Who? Who destroyed it?"
She was so strong and her nails were so long that she was so excited that she didn't even notice that her nails had penetrated Yi Fanling's sweater and dug into her shoulder blades. The pain made Yi Fanling's eyes almost overflow with jealousy, anger and unwillingness.
She struggled slightly, trying not to use so much force on her hands, and said in a wronged voice:
"Mom, you hurt me."
Mrs. Yi finally reacted, relaxed a little, and said to her guiltily:
"I'm sorry, Lingling. You know, Mom was just too excited. Okay, Lingling, tell me, who interrupted Cong'an?"
Yi Fanling wanted to identify Qing Yanrou without hesitation, but as soon as she looked up, she met Chu Tingbai's cold eyes. His eyes seemed to be looking at a dead object. She was so scared that she trembled and lowered her head again, not daring to speak.
"I interrupted..."
Before Qing Yanrou could finish her words, Madam Yi turned around and looked at her with resentment, and was about to rush over and beat her without caring about anything.
Chu Tingbai's face turned cold. He stood in front of her and raised his leg to kick Mrs. Yi.
Qing Yanrou stopped him in time. She was afraid that he would not be able to control his strength and hurt someone. That would not be good. After all, this was Yi Cong'an's mother.
Mrs. Yi was also stopped by Mr. Yi. He did not forget that there was a man standing in the living room who claimed to be from a special national department.
Although we don't know whether it's true or not, we can find out once we investigate, so there's no need to falsify it. What they did was indeed linked to feudal superstition.
"Hey little girl, I heard from Fan Ling that you are Cong'an's roommate. So we are rescuing Cong'an, why are you trying to stop us?"
As expected of a seasoned businessman, Mr. Yi pointed out the problem right away. Although his tone did not contain obvious blame, it did contain a hint of displeasure.
"Mr. Yi, what illness did Cong'an have? Instead of sending her to the hospital, you found someone who practices evil ways to use her as a living sacrifice. Are you saving her or harming her?"
"What do you know, little girl? This is a statue we spent a lot of money to build, and the Taoist priest is also very famous."
The expression on Mr. Yi's face was a little ugly. He had spent a lot of money to hire this person, and it was something that people like them who had never seen the world could understand.
Seeing that he was stubborn and unrepentant, Qing Yanrou asked in a deep voice:
"Then tell me, what disease did Cong'an have that required you to bring the statue home?"
"This is private. How can I tell a stranger like you? Who are you?"
Mrs. Yi on the side said very unhappily, her tone full of contempt.
"You don't have to tell me now, but once you enter the special department, you won't have any say in that."
Gu Yuan looked unhappy and spoke in a low voice.
The Yi family couple wanted to say something, but they heard Yi Cong'an, who was originally curled up on the sofa, said loudly:
"I'm not sick! You're the ones who are sick!"
The couple was startled by their daughter's voice. They had not seen their daughter since they woke up. The voice suddenly exploded in their ears and they did not react for a while.
"Are you devils? Are there any real parents like you? To consider your adopted daughter's feelings, you call your biological daughter an adopted daughter. Haha, you are really good parents!"
Yi Cong'an had been holding these words in her heart, although after Qing Yanrou's last advice, she began to slowly let go of her expectations of their family affection and live her own life seriously.
But when they asked her to come back here to accompany them, she still did not refuse. This also showed that she still had expectations for them.
But what she didn't expect was that this almost cost her her life.
She didn't want to experience the kind of nightmare and heart-wrenching pain again.
This time, she was completely disappointed with them.
"Hey, An An, how can you think like that? That's what we say to outsiders. At home, we treat you both equally, and we even favor you more. How can you say that about Mom and Dad!"
There was a hint of uneasiness on Mrs. Yi's face. It was because of her negligence that Yi Cong'an was abducted. After returning, she wanted to compensate her well, but when she saw her, she would remember her previous carelessness, which caused her to suffer for fifteen years. She suddenly became afraid to face her.
Therefore, under Yi Fanling's crying, she obeyed her idea and did not announce to the public that she was the adopted daughter, but this did not mean that she did not love her daughter.
That's why he heard that she was sick as soon as possible and saved her at all costs.
But, hey, what was wrong with her? Why couldn't she remember it?
"Honey, what disease did An An have? Why can't I remember it?"
Mrs. Yi looked at Mr. Yi with a confused expression and asked bewilderedly. She even patted her head gently with her hand because she couldn't remember.
"Isn't that—, eh, what was it…"
When Mr. Yi was about to say it, he found that his mind was blank and he couldn't remember what disease his daughter had.
There was no information about the disease in his mind at all.
Even if he was slow to react, he noticed something was wrong and looked at Yi Fanling. "Fanling, what disease did you tell me your sister had?"
Feeling that Father Yi's eyes were beginning to turn suspicious, Yi Fanling's face turned panicky. In order to control her emotions, she dug her nails into her flesh, straightened her facial expression, and said stiffly:
"That's it, that's sepsis, Mom and Dad, have you forgotten?"
