Chapter 642: Magical Telepathy

Sheng Hanyu drove the car, glancing at his wife through the rearview mirror.

She was sitting in the back seat with her eyes closed; despite not looking at the road, she could accurately point out the direction.

But was the direction she pointed really correct?

The car ride became increasingly bumpy, and the surroundings grew more and more desolate.

The road had long since disappeared, and ahead lay a wasteland spanning several hundred kilometers.

Yet Shi Youxuan still directed him to drive forward, so he continued to advance.

The car stopped.

Shi Youxuan: "Keep driving forward."

The car didn't move, and Sheng Hanyu said: "We can't keep going forward; if we go any further, we'll be feeding the fish."

Shi Youxuan opened her eyes and discovered that there was a fish pond in front of them.

The fish pond was very large, surrounded by a vast expanse of reed marshes, and there was no road at all.

She muttered to herself: "How can this be? This shouldn't be," and then pushed open the car door to get out.

Even though she could sense that Jin Wan'er was nearby, the environment here didn't look like a place where people would be.

"Xuanxuan, I can understand how you feel, but don't blame yourself too much; your sister's disappearance has nothing to do with you." Sheng Hanyu hugged his wife's shoulders, his heart aching for her.

She had been blaming herself the whole time, but Sheng Hanyu knew his wife was not at fault; Jin Wan'er's disappearance was just an accident.

After discovering the person was missing.

Jian Yining had called the police immediately; the police checked surveillance footage and dispatched their best police dogs.

They screened passing drivers on the road and searched for eyewitnesses.

Every method that could be used had been tried, but it had not the slightest effect!

Lady Jian was driven mad with anxiety and wished she could pounce on Shi Youxuan and bite a piece of flesh off her to vent the hatred in her heart.

But she fainted before she could pounce, so she didn't manage to bite her.

After Wan'er disappeared, Jian Yining was also worried to death.

He was different from his mother.

His mother was concerned about the child in Wan'er's belly, while he was worried about Wan'er—the safety of his own wife.

Only at this moment did he realize how important his wife was to him.

He searched outside like a madman, printing many flyers, standing on the road to stuff them into windshield wipers of every car he saw, and asking everyone he met.

Major electronic billboards in Jiangzhou took turns playing missing person notices.

But a whole day had passed, and there was not a shred of news.

Jin Wan'er's disappearance was too bizarre.

Both the car and the person had vanished together, and there wasn't even a trace of a struggle on the road.

It was as if she had suddenly entered another dimension and disappeared from Earth.

Shi Youxuan hadn't spoken, eaten, or drunk anything all day.

Suddenly she walked outside, and Sheng Hanyu, fearing something might happen to her, hurriedly followed, which led to the scene at the beginning.

She said she felt Jin Wan'er was calling for help and that she had to go save her sister.

No one else believed her, but Sheng Hanyu believed her; no matter what his wife did, he would support her and accompany her!

However... could there really be anyone in this place?

"Hanyu, I have a feeling, a feeling that Wan'er is right nearby."

She walked into the reed marsh and began to search for her.

She wasn't afraid of the place being large; even if she had to turn this entire area upside down, as long as the feeling didn't vanish, she would search it inch by inch.

A luxurious and mysterious room.

The door opened silently.

Jin Wan'er clutched her belly, stood up from the sofa vigilantly, and stared at the two people in front of her, saying: "How much money do you want? Name your price."

"Miss, please."

The two made a gesture of invitation.

Jin Wan'er's eyes widened.

That's right, the voice had come from the person on the left, but their lips hadn't moved!

How could this be possible?

So she stood there without moving.

The person on the right also emitted a voice, repeating the previous words: "Miss, please come with us; the Clan Leader wishes to see you."

"Oh, okay."

Jin Wan'er followed the two out of the room, and outside was a long corridor.

The corridor was decorated simply, but it was equally resplendent, with luxury showing in every detail.

The long-haired imported carpet was woven with complex patterns in gold thread; she noticed the patterns on the carpet looked like a Totem and were not in the style of Jiangzhou.

The United States didn't have this style either; it seemed like the style of L Country, but it didn't quite look like it either.

The walls were covered in gold leaf, and although the wall lamps were dim, the light reflected by the gold leaf was enough to see the scenery before her.

The overall decor could be summarized in two words—wealthy!

But there was one strange thing: there were no windows.

She noticed that every two steps, there was a ventilation duct on the ceiling above.

Could it be that they were underground?

Walking to the end of the corridor, the two pushed open the heavy door at the end, and after she walked in, the door closed silently behind her.

This room was more than ten times larger than the one she had just been in.

The level of luxury was also ten times greater!

But likewise, there were still no windows.

Jin Wan'er was not someone who had never seen the world, but the layout before her eyes still made her gasp.

Isn't this too extravagant?

What do carpets woven with gold thread and walls covered in gold leaf even count for?

Compared to this room, the items in the corridor were simply a minor wizard meeting a major one.

The Jin Family was a scholarly family.

They might not have everything, but Jin Laoyezi had quite a few rare editions and famous paintings.

Yet, all the famous paintings collected by Jin Laoyezi did not even amount to one-tenth of what was here!

An entire wall was densely hung with world-famous paintings, all authentic; every single one, if taken out and put up for auction, could cause a sensation, yet here they were casually piled in corners and hung on the walls.

The reason it was called casual was because the paintings were not even hung straight.

Another wall was hung with jewelry!

Diamonds as big as pigeon eggs were as common here as stones on the beach.

Besides diamonds, there were also crowns, Eastern pearl ornaments... brilliant and magnificent, flashing with dazzling light!

As for antique vases and ancient palace treasures, they were here by the handful, casually piled in boxes.

Every single piece of Treasure here was worth a fortune, but they were just casually piled up, as if they were not rare at all.

There was no one in the room, but a voice said: "You are Wan'er."

It was not a question, but a statement of certainty.

"Yes, I am Jin Wan'er. Who are you, and where are you?" Jin Wan'er was not used to being addressed so intimately by a stranger, and even less used to only being able to hear a voice without seeing a person.

"I am behind you."

Jin Wan'er hurriedly turned around, and behind her, there was indeed a woman standing.

When did this woman appear?

Clearly, there had only been herself in the room just a moment ago, and in an instant, there was another person!

Jin Wan'er was surprised: "When did you come in?"

The woman said: "I have always been here; it is you who did not notice me."

Jin Wan'er:...

Fine, whether she had always been here or not was not important.

The most important thing had been discovered by her.

The woman's appearance allowed Jin Wan'er to see herself twenty years later.

This woman was the person she and Shi Youxuan had been looking for all along!

"Who are you?" Wan'er asked.

The woman did not answer her question, but instead asked: "After the children are born, you will have to work and take care of the children; it must be very hard, right?"

Jin Wan'er:...

She was not used to discussing such topics with strangers; she really disliked such deep talk with shallow acquaintances.

Although the woman in front of her was very likely related to her by blood, it was, after all, their first meeting, and she was still a stranger.

"You don't need to worry about that. Who are you? Where is this? What is your purpose in bringing me here?" Jin Wan'er was a Lüshi by profession, and she had inadvertently let her professional habits take over.

The woman haughtily lifted her chin: "Who I am—don't you already have the answer in your hearts? Why ask when you already know?"

It seemed that she already knew about the fact that the two of them had been looking for her these past few days.

There was no need to beat around the bush when talking to a smart person; since the words had already reached this point, Jin Wan'er simply laid it out: "Are you our mother?"
