Chapter 444: The Mystery of Her Origins

Shi Youxuan said, "My father is a businessman, and I don't have a mother."

Regarding the Shi Family, the only person she could mention was Shi Yucheng.

If anyone else asked, she simply wouldn't pay them any mind, choosing not to say a single word.

But for some reason, Shi Youxuan could not refuse Jin Laofuren; it wasn't that she couldn't, but that she didn't have the heart to.

"Poor girl, no mother... Did your mother pass away, or was she not by your side since you were small?" the old lady continued to press.

Shi Youxuan: "Passed away, an accident."

When the old lady heard "passed away in an accident," the expression on her face was actually one of joy; although this was very impolite, she truly couldn't control it.

"Passed away, you say? When did she pass away?"

Sheng Hanyu frowned.

He really disliked Xuanxuan being disturbed, no matter who was doing the disturbing.

"Six years ago. Are you still interested in how she died?" he jabbed.

"I'm sorry, my apologies." Jin Laofuren shut her mouth sheepishly.

Actually, she still wanted to ask more, but now really didn't seem like a good time.

Jin Laoyezi found a random excuse to call his wife back to their room.

He complained about her bringing up such a topic without regard for the time or occasion.

Tears welled up in the old lady's eyes as she gripped her husband's arm tightly and said excitedly, "Don't tell me you don't know. What does it mean for there to be two people in the world who look exactly the same?"

She worked in biological research, and from a biological perspective, there was only one possibility—identical twins!

Of course, there was another possibility, which was plastic surgery.

Just now, she had observed Shi Youxuan closely at a short distance; she had not undergone plastic surgery.

Let alone plastic surgery, she hadn't even touched her eyebrows; it was all original, a natural face given by her parents.

Jin Laoyezi held his wife's hand in return: "Of course I saw it, but aren't you being too impatient right now? The timing is wrong. Isn't the most important thing right now to rescue Wan'er?"

Jin Wan'er's room.

Sheng Zerong and his wife, along with Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan, were gathered together, also discussing this matter.

Jian Yixin: "Xuanxuan, could you be a child of the Jin Family?"

Shi Youxuan shook her head: "I don't know."

She truly didn't know.

When her biological parents passed away, she was still in swaddling clothes and had absolutely no memory of them.

At this moment, a woman who might be her twin had suddenly popped up, and she still had to save her; the amount of information was too much, and Shi Youxuan couldn't quite take it in for a moment.

Sheng Zerong nudged his wife to stop her from saying more; his older brother's expression was already looking very bad.

Jian Yixin was a smart person and immediately changed the subject.

The group in the room discussed how to keep Shi Youxuan from coming into contact with them while still getting the person rescued, all while waiting for Feiying to take the initiative to contact them!

Half an hour before Feiying contacted them.

Everyone was gathered in the living room, with the phone placed right in the middle of the coffee table.

Although there were many people, the air was very quiet.

No one spoke; only the faint "tick-tock" sound from the wall clock could be heard, representing the passage of time.

People's gazes would occasionally dart toward the wall clock or check their own watches.

Time ticked away second by second, and half an hour felt as long as a century.

"Ring—"

The phone rang right on time.

Shi Youxuan grabbed the phone: "Hello, this is Shi Youxuan!"

The man on the other end teased her in English: "Hello there, beautiful lady. Didn't think we would meet again in such a way, did you? Hahahaha..."

"Yes, I didn't think so."

Shi Youxuan was calm and composed as she led Feiying step by step toward the topic they had agreed upon: "Mr. Feiying, we have dealt with each other before. I know you are a person who keeps your word. I have already prepared the money and placed it in the warehouse north of the city..."

"Are you playing tricks on me?"

Feiying's voice sounded very displeased, and his attitude turned cold: "Lady, you are very proactive in preparing the ransom, which is a good thing. However, please do not question my intelligence. I will not go to collect the money in person; you bring it to us."

"I bring it?"

Shi Youxuan feigned exaggeration and raised her volume: "I'm afraid you don't know how big a pile one billion is? It fills an entire warehouse. How am I supposed to bring it to you? I can't even move it!"

Feiying:...

He truly hadn't thought about this problem.

In the past, they had always used direct transfers, but later their accounts were frozen by the police quite a few times, resulting in heavy losses.

That was why they thought of asking for cash directly. How heavy was one billion dollars?

Feiying hung up the phone directly and had his subordinates calculate the weight and volume of one billion in the fastest time possible.

His subordinates were quite efficient, and soon a computer image was placed in front of him. Feiying gasped; there was that much?

Shi Youxuan hadn't lied; there was indeed enough cash to fill an entire room.

"Ring—"

When the phone rang again, everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Feiying had hung up the phone before they finished speaking, which had made everyone feel very uneasy, fearing there might be a change in plans.

Shi Youxuan answered the phone again, and Feiying provided a solution: "You drive and bring the money over."

She said, "I can, but it is estimated that it will take more than twenty trips."

Feiying:...

"Ma'am, are you challenging my patience?"

No one had ever spoken to him like this before; Shi Youxuan's words made him feel slighted, and he was very displeased.

Shi Youxuan hurriedly explained, "No, I'm not challenging you, I wouldn't dare!"

"I'm telling the truth. I only have a small vehicle driver's license and cannot drive a large truck. There must be inspections on the road; what if they find out my license is invalid and impound the vehicle? Besides, I wouldn't dare to drive such a large truck on the road."

Feiying:...

Although he was unhappy, he also knew that what Shi Youxuan said was correct.

This was indeed a problem.

The person on the other end was silent, which meant he was hesitating.

Shi Youxuan seized the opportunity and pressed on, "How about I just make more trips? As long as you don't find it troublesome, I don't mind."

Feiying:...

She didn't mind, but Feiying would not agree to it.

He was very angry now and really wanted to know what was inside this woman's head.

Did she not know how to be afraid?

She even said she wanted to drive a pickup truck to deliver the money. A pickup truck could hold at most 0.5 tons at a time, which is about 50 million; to deliver 1 billion would take more than twenty trips, and she would have to run back and forth on the road for a day and a half!

Such a long time was enough for them to be exposed to the guns of the International Criminal Police and die hundreds of times over.

Feiying angrily refused, "No, it must be delivered all at once, otherwise you can go collect your friend's corpse."

Shi Youxuan: "Then you'll have to let me bring a driver."

Feiying:...

If it weren't for Shi Youxuan's initial groundwork, he definitely would not have agreed.

But now he had to consider it, and not just consider it himself, but also discuss it with someone else.

"Beep, beep, beep—"

The busy signal came from the phone again, but this time everyone was a bit calmer.

Shi Youxuan was very clever, reacted extremely quickly, and was calm.

Even the International Police gave her a thumbs up.

Things were gradually developing in a good direction; the police guessed that Feiying hanging up the phone was to discuss it with someone else, and there should be a mastermind behind him.

It wouldn't be Tujiu.

Tujiu was not with him right now, and the police had been closely monitoring the movements of this gang of criminals.

They had to dig that person out.

The International Criminal Police were determined this time to wipe out Feiying and his gang in one fell swoop; this group of people endangered all directions, fled everywhere, and harmed society wherever they went!
