Chapter 1757 - 1758: Heartless Man
The next morning, news that Wei Zixu had fallen into Fuping's hands began to silently spread throughout the capital, along with another piece of news.
That was the demand for the Wei family to hand over Yan Jingchu and bring Ye Xunhuan; otherwise, Wei Zixu would die!
Upon hearing this news, Wei Zhenxing and Jiao Lanxin immediately sought assistance from the Wei family elder, Wei Sanqian!
Both Wei Zhenxing and Jiao Lanxin knew very well that Fuping would not give them any face, and they had heard some things about Yan Jingchu. It was rumored that Yan Jingchu had been intimate with several men.
This has completely tarnished the Yan family's reputation, and now that Fuping is with the Yan family, if they were to rashly call on them, it might backfire, so they came to see Wei Sanqian.
They hoped Wei Sanqian could step forward.
In the Wei family, Wei Sanqian showed no worry about Wei Zixu being in Fuping's hands; the old man had set up a pond for raising fish in the Wei family courtyard, and he was fishing beside it with ease and leisure!
Upon seeing Wei Sanqian fishing calmly, Jiao Lanxin and Wei Zhenxing immediately said, "Dad, save Zixu..."
With tears in her eyes, Jiao Lanxin pleaded to Wei Sanqian.
"Dad..."
"You see, as soon as you two came, all the fish got scared away!" Wei Sanqian sighed helplessly.
"Dad, Zixu, he..."
"I've heard all about it," Wei Sanqian interrupted Jiao Lanxin's words, slowly putting the fishing rod aside, and said to Jiao Lanxin, who was anxious, "It's not that I don't want to save Zixu, but you two should know well enough what Zixu's temperament is like!"
Upon hearing Wei Sanqian's words, Jiao Lanxin and Wei Zhenxing's expressions immediately darkened.
"The boy is as stubborn as a mule. The more you want him to do something, the less he will comply!" Wei Sanqian sighed helplessly, "If he wanted to hand over Yan Jingchu, he would have done so a long time ago!"
"But he hasn't, and now even if I go, the Yan family and Fuping will surely demand Yan Jingchu, but where would I find Yan Jingchu for them?"
Saying this, Wei Zixu shook his head helplessly and said with a bitter smile, "Zixu is so cunning; if he wants to hide someone, even if we turned the whole capital upside down, we might not find them."
Wei Zhenxing and Jiao Lanxin knew Wei Sanqian was speaking the truth; otherwise, the Yan family would have already found Yan Jingchu.
But so far, the Yan family has no leads.
However, Wei Zixu is their son, and now that something has happened to him, they can't just sit still, even though this son is infuriating, he's still their beloved child!
"Dad, we understand, but we can't just sit by and watch Zixu in trouble, you…"
"Zixu is still alive, isn't he?" Wei Sanqian said calmly, "Don't worry; as long as they can't find Yan Jingchu, they definitely won't kill Zixu!"
"Besides, Qin's grandson there wouldn't stand idly by either, since Zixu is in this mess because of him!"
"But Dad, we can't reach Ye Xunhuan, and with Wei Zixu in Fuping's hands, it's certain he…"
"When Heaven gives great responsibilities to a person, it first tests their will, exhausts their muscles and bones, starves their body, and depletes their resources!" Wei Sanqian said with measured weight, "A little more trial is good for him, so that he won't always be so unruly!"
Upon hearing Wei Sanqian's words, Jiao Lanxin immediately panicked. That's her son, whom she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy; she's worried!
"Dad..."
"Lan Xin, I know you're worried, but trust me, don't get involved or question it." Wei Sanqian said very seriously, "Besides, doesn't Zixu have a master?"
"Dad, do you mean..."
"Rest assured, Zixu will surely tell them about his master; even without Ye Xunhuan, they wouldn't dare kill Zixu." Wei Sanqian said confidently, "Otherwise it would sever that lineage!"
Wei Zhenxing realized that given Wei Sanqian's words, going to the Yan family was virtually impossible, so he pulled Jiao Lanxin to leave.
Even though Jiao Lanxin was very reluctant and wanted to say something more to Wei Sanqian, she could not escape Wei Zhenxing's grasp!
After Wei Zhenxing dragged Jiao Lanxin away from the backyard, Jiao Lanxin immediately shouted angrily, "Wei Zhenxing, what do you mean!"
"Lan Xin, haven't you noticed, Dad is unwilling to risk his old face for us; saying more is pointless!" Wei Zhenxing said bitterly.
Jiao Lanxin wanted to save her son, he did too, but the problem was he really didn't have the ability to do so.
Moreover, as Wei Sanqian's son, Wei Zhenxing naturally knew his father's temperament.
"Wei Zhenxing, I warn you, if anything happens to my son, you'll have me to deal with, and I'll deal with your Wei family too!" Jiao Lanxin said heavily.
With her words, Jiao Lanxin directly headed outside.
Seeing this, Wei Zhenxing's face was full of bitterness, but he had no choice either.
Immediately, Wei Zhenxing hurriedly ran after Jiao Lanxin. Right now, Jiao Lanxin was full of resentment and worry; if she rashly barged into the Yan family alone and searched for Fuping, who knows what might happen!
He had to keep an eye on her, and also see if he could get in touch with Ye Xunhuan.
Even if he couldn't reach Ye Xunhuan, contacting Qiu Ruoxi would also work, and if push comes to shove, reach out to Qin Rumeng.
After all, because of your nephew, my son is in this dire situation; you can't simply ignore it!
Moreover, in terms of influence, Qin Rumeng's is not less than Wei Sanqian's.
The events concerning Wei Zixu's troubles, Qin Rumeng was aware of them; however, she didn't pay much mind. In Qin Rumeng's view, a grand conflict between the Wei and Yan families would be preferable!
As for Wei Zixu's situation being related to Ye Xunhuan, she didn't exactly consider it significant.
Additionally, Qin Rumeng suspected that perhaps Wei Zixu was attracted to Yan Jingchu's beauty, which led to this situation, otherwise, why would Wei Zixu be so invested!
Probably just aiming for Yan Jingchu's chastity!
Meanwhile, in Jiangzhong city, Ye Xunhuan had already begun his journey to work.
Just arriving at the Huantu Group, Ye Xunhuan heard that Mei Hanqing was back, which didn't surprise him much.
After all, Mei Hanqing had accompanied her parents to see her grandparents, returning to work was just a matter of time.
As soon as Ye Xunhuan returned to Huantu Group, word spread throughout the company, and Longzu Puti, upon hearing, immediately charged in angrily toward Ye Xunhuan.
Just as Ye Xunhuan sat in his chair with his seat barely warm, Longzu Puti burst through the door.
Upon seeing Longzu Puti, Ye Xunhuan's heart sank.
If mentioning who Ye Xunhuan dreaded meeting most, Longzu Puti definitely counted!
"Heartbreaker, you still know how to come back!"
Ye Xunhuan's face turned dark immediately: "How the hell did I become a heartbreaker again…"
