Chapter 1082: Missing Family Affection

Ji Yingjie asked her husband to take good care of the two children, while she personally took people to the tribe to capture the two brothers of the Zhu Family!

Unfortunately, they arrived to find nothing.

When they arrived, the tribe was empty, and those two people were not there at all.

She left a letter for the Chieftain of the tribe, telling him to deliver the letter to the Zhu brothers, informing them that Wang Guihua was in her hands, and if they wanted her back, they should come and get her themselves!

……

The Island.

Zhu Qingxiang carried a tray of food to his younger brother's room and said kindly: "Eat something; not eating won't solve the problem."

His younger brother had not eaten anything all day and had been clutching a letter in his hand.

That letter left by Ji Yingjie.

"I don't want to eat."

He was hesitating, struggling, and even more regretful.

He knew he couldn't go out, but watching his mother suffer in the Ji Family made him feel terrible too.

Having finally found his mother and enjoyed maternal love for only a short time, was he going to lose it now?

"Brother, I want to save her!"

"No, Qingrui, you cannot be impulsive."

He said to his younger brother: "That old fox Ji Yingjie must have set a dragnet to catch you; wouldn't going there now be walking right into a trap?"

"When the time comes, you won't be able to save her, and you'll get yourself caught in the process; this kind of losing business cannot be done."

Zhu Qingrui scratched his head: "I know what you say is right, but she is my mother; you have already lost your mother, do you want me to lose my mother too?"

Zhu Qingxiang: ……

So he stopped trying to persuade him and just wept silently.

The two of them wept together.

The feeling of not having a mother was something they both felt just as deeply.

The brothers grew up on the Island and had always lived a wandering life; the two of them yearned for and cherished family affection immensely.

Zhu Qingrui was four years younger than his older brother Zhu Qingxiang; although he was smarter, he valued family affection even more than his brother did.

When Rong Huaying died back then, he cried even more miserably than his brother!

That was also the first time he had felt maternal love; that kind of emotion was beautiful, but too short-lived.

Later, when his biological mother found him, he finally regained the long-lost family affection and tasted the feeling of being loved by a mother; could it really be that short-lived?

Therefore, even though he knew the road ahead was dangerous, he had to go and save his mother!

People, they must be saved!

But he could not blindly rush over; there had to be a comprehensive plan.

As the plan took shape in his mind, a smile finally appeared on Zhu Qingrui's face.

"Brother, I was wrong; I shouldn't have yelled at you this morning..." He pushed open his brother's bedroom door and found it empty.

An ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

"Brother, Brother, where are you?"

"Brother, come out; you must still be on the island, right?"

"Brother!"

He searched while calling out, and when he found the only way off the island, he froze.

One of the speedboats for leaving the island was missing, and a letter was left on the other speedboat.

Younger brother.

You were right; I cannot be that cold-blooded. I have already lost my mother and cannot let you lose your mother too, so I have decided to save her!

Wait for us to return on the island; do not leave this place for even half a step.

Do not, absolutely do not follow us. The Zhu Family cannot all perish at the hands of that old witch; you are the hope of us all.

……

Nianyin had returned.

There was no welcome ceremony upon her return; instead, she immediately threw herself into work.

She sat in the Monitoring Room, mainly overseeing the surveillance.

At midnight.

The images on the monitors remained the same, but Nianyin suddenly stood up and said to all the Guards: "Quick, sound the alarm; everyone follow me to catch them alive."

People rushed out, and without much effort, they caught Zhu Qingxiang at the border of the Ji Family.

The brothers would definitely come; this was within Ji Yingjie's expectations!

He was brought before Ji Yingjie, bound hand and foot, and his first sentence was: "How did you discover me?"

Nianyin sneered: "The tricks you used are all ones we've used to death; how do you think we discovered you?"

"Is it hard to discover you? There is a level-six gale outside, yet the leaves on the monitor suddenly stopped moving; if someone wasn't playing tricks, what other reason could there be?"

Zhu Qingxiang's skills were inferior to others; although he was unwilling to accept the loss, he was convinced by the defeat.

Zhu Qingxiang had been caught, and the entire Ji Family was triumphant and overjoyed.

But the fact that it was only him and that they hadn't found Zhu Qingrui made Ji Yingjie feel a bit regretful.

He was locked up with Madam Chen.

"Qingxiang, why are you here? Were you caught, or did you come to save me?"

"There's no difference."

Zhu Qingxiang walked to the corner of the wall and sat down, not wanting to pay her any mind.

She doesn't even need to act now; if it weren't for this woman, he wouldn't have been caught by the Ji Family.

"How could there be no difference? There is a huge difference."

She leaned in: "Zhu Qingrui didn't come with you, did he? Is he safe right now?"

Zhu Qingxiang:...

He was so stunned by this woman's stupidity that he didn't want to speak.

Is she a pig?

They must be under surveillance right now; every word they say, and even the slightest movement, is being monitored.

And she just mentioned his younger brother so blatantly; she must not want to live anymore.

"Shut up."

He snapped: "If you want him to be safe, don't say a single word or do anything from now on."

"Okay."

Ji Yingjie didn't get any useful information from Zhu Qingxiang, and no matter what methods she used, she couldn't pry the whereabouts of Zhu Qingrui out of his mouth.

He had received professional training and had a very firm willpower; the Hallucinogen used on Madam Chen had no effect on Zhu Qingxiang.

"Send him on his way." A flash of ferocity crossed Ji Yingjie's eyes.

Since he has no value to be utilized, there is no need to keep him!

The night of the final day.

The guards brought good wine and food to "see off" Zhu Qingxiang.

Madam Chen cried like a tear-stained mess, holding onto him and refusing to let go: "It's all because I implicated you; let me die, let me die in your place."

"Impossible, stop dreaming."

Zhu Qingxiang pushed her away and calmly ate his final meal.

The next day.

The time for Zhu Qingxiang to be sent on his way had arrived.

The two of them could even hear the footsteps of the prison guards approaching; Zhu Qingxiang stood up calmly and glanced at Madam Chen: "Take care."

He straightened his clothes, preparing to be taken away.

She suddenly hugged him from behind and quickly whispered a few words in his ear: "You must escape, take care of your brother for me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she let go and turned to slam into the wall!

"Bang!"

She used all her strength for this blow, hitting it with the determination to die.

Nianyin heard the commotion and hurriedly said: "Not good."

She led people to quicken their pace and run over, but it was still a step too late; Madam Chen had already fallen in a pool of blood!

Blood was slowly oozing from her head, and she was gasping for air, yet there was a smile on her lips.

Her pale hand reached up tremblingly, as if trying to grab Zhu Qingxiang.

He realized what happened, pulled her into his arms, and his eyes grew wet: "Why did you have to do this? You're so foolish!"

Madam Chen: "For you."

"Only one of us can survive; if I die, they won't be willing to kill you."

Her pupils dilated, and she was only exhaling without inhaling.

"Why are you so foolish? Why did you trade your life for mine? I have already lost my mother; I promised Qingrui that I would let his mother live. How could you be like this, how could you be so cruel as to leave us brothers without a mother..."
