"Baby, want some food? Shall I feed you?"
Lan Jingyan picked up a piece of pastry and put it into Yan Xiluo's mouth.
"How about we listen to this recording first? I'm in a bit of a hurry."
Yan Xiluo took a bite of the pastry. She wasn't really in the mood to eat, but she couldn't refuse when Lan Jingyan offered it to her.
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
Lan Jingyan sat down next to her, and then Yan Xiluo opened the recording in her email.
The recording clearly shows Pang Jiayi's conversation with Wen Feng and Ye Qin.
After the conversation, Yan Xiluo and Lan Jingyan were both somewhat incredulous, as they had never imagined the story behind it.
Wenwen had actually premeditatedly switched her child with Yan Xiluo's... all to save her child who had a hidden illness. Later, because the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to move Yan Yinran to the Yan family, she was switched again with the Yan family's child who had already been switched...
"That's absolutely amazing..."
Yan Xiluo muttered to herself, "This worldview is too shocking. Sure enough, most people are selfish."
She couldn't understand Wenwen's actions, no matter what the reason was.
"Baby, are you alright?"
Lan Jingyan knew that her selfishness stemmed from a mother's love to protect her child, but that didn't mean that love was right or terribly wrong.
He understood deeply that this was just a small episode in the whole affair. Even without Wenwen switching the children, Yan Xiluo would have been switched by the person behind it all.
"It's okay, I have a high tolerance for stress and can handle pressure well. I just didn't expect that the reason for my transfer would be this. Whatever the reason, she's selfish, and I can't understand it."
The most important part of this whole affair isn't this little incident, which only proves that Yan Yinran isn't Bai Jingquan's daughter, but was arranged to be there.
More clues are needed to find the person behind this.
"Now that Bai Jingquan and her child's situation has been clarified, all that's left is to find out Yan Yinran's identity. If she really follows the orders of the person behind her, she will be very detrimental to your family, especially to you. If necessary... don't be soft-hearted, it's best to clean house."
Lan Jingyan began to worry, worried that Yan Yinran would harm Yan Xiluo and the Yan family.
If she were controlled by the people behind her, and they had some leverage over her, then she would have no choice but to work for them.
"I know, but I need some more time to confirm."
She found it hard to believe that Yan Yinran hadn't been sincere with her these past few days. But she only saw sincerity, and besides, her every move at home was unsuspecting, and she hadn't met with anyone in private.
She really didn't want to doubt her, but in this situation, she couldn't rely solely on emotion; she also needed to be rational.
"What we need to know now is whose child Yan Yinran is and how she came to be. If we follow this line of investigation, we're sure to make a breakthrough."
Lan Jingyan calmly sorted through the clues she had gathered about the whole incident.
"This path is too difficult... If Yan Yinran doesn't listen to them and is truly sincere towards me, I do have a way to break through..."
Yan Xiluo was making up her mind. She couldn't call her "Ranran" affectionately right now because her identity was too dangerous. She might really have some ulterior motive, and she had to be careful. She had already died once.
"As long as you don't put yourself at risk anymore, I will support you no matter what you do."
Last time, he was truly terrified, more terrified than ever before. So, except for putting himself in danger, he would unconditionally support whatever she wanted to do.
"No, don't worry."
Yan Xiluo made her promise, her gaze unwavering. Once was enough; her family was already worried sick, how could she dare to cause them any more anxiety?
"That's good!"
Lan Jingyan was clearly very satisfied with this answer.
"If only I could find his hideout in the US! I'd blow it all up!"
The new type of artillery shell she developed is incredibly powerful; she's already tested it! She'll show no mercy in finding that person's lair!
"Baby, you can't play with such a dangerous toy!"
Lan Jingyan's face darkened at the thought of the bomb. Last time, he wasn't afraid of dying himself, but he was afraid of dying with Yan Xiluo.
"That's not a bomb, it's a cannonball. You'll find out soon enough!"
Yan Xiluo couldn't help but smile as she thought about the power of the shells that day; it seemed she had quite a talent for research in this area.
"So mysterious? Are you hiding something from me again?"
Lan Jingyan knew immediately that it wasn't a safe matter, and vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
"It's not that I'm hiding it from you, it's just that you haven't explored my other areas yet. You can discover them slowly over time; there won't be any surprises if I tell you now."
Yan Xiluo knew that there were many things about Lan Jingyan that she didn't know, including his identity, which was even more mysterious than hers!
"..."
A surprise? Hopefully not a shock; his heart can't take it! Lan Jingyan pondered, remaining silent.
"What are you thinking about? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Could she be angry? Surely she wouldn't be that petty? She's not that interested in his other identities...
"No, I was just wondering how many identities you have that I don't know."
Lan Jingyan's tone was normal, and there was nothing awkward about it.
"There are probably quite a few more... I probably can't count them on my fingers..."
Yan Xilu made a rough estimate in her mind, and perhaps there were some things she had forgotten... such as the XL from last time... that was something she had forgotten.
"Isn't this... a bit too much of a blow?"
Lan Jingyan was completely stunned. He really couldn't tell if he had misheard or if she had said something wrong...
"I didn't mean to discourage you, you were the one who asked the question..."
Yan Xiluo looked completely innocent... She didn't own Versailles, so she just did a quick calculation.
Moreover, some of her identities were relatively minor and didn't count; there were quite a few scattered ones, how could she possibly remember them all? She only remembered a few commonly used identities.
"Okay, it was my fault. I know our baby is the best!"
Lan Jingyan smiled indulgently, stroking Yan Xiluo's soft hair, which carried a faint fragrance.
“My mom just messaged me saying that Aunt Fu Yao has arrived in China and her hair has been sent to the West Suburbs Hospital.”
Just then, his phone rang; it was a message from Chen Xi. Fu Yao and Sun Zhibin rushed to the West Suburbs Hospital as soon as they got off the plane.
"Yes, I've already spoken to my friend about it, and we'll expedite the process."
She made sure to give prior notice about this.
"My mom said it's already being tested."
Chen Xi opened the second message; they were waiting at the hospital.
"That will be soon. I just hope that once the results are out, they won't rush to find Yi Yang. They must sit down and discuss their strategy before deciding when to go."
As Leng Yiyang's senior sister, he was still worried that Leng Yiyang might not be able to accept it in a short time.
