Chapter 646: So, You Have Already Walked Into My Heart

Sheng Hanyu did not listen to his wife this time, and firmly demanded that she must go back.

Furthermore, he promised her that after sending her back, he would immediately bring people back to continue the search.

Shi Youxuan was unwilling.

But she truly had no strength left to speak, and lay limply on the backseat.

Sheng Hanyu drove to a place with a signal, and missed calls, WeChat messages, and QQ messages began to pour in overwhelmingly!

The sounds of various messages rose and fell, ringing endlessly.

He was just planning to return a call when their car was discovered.

Traffic police stopped the car, and after confirming their identities, they were very excited: "Mr. Sheng, where have you two been this whole day? Hurry and return a call to your family; your family has been worried sick looking for you."

Sheng Hanyu returned a call to his mother to report that they were safe: "Mom, Xuanxuan and I got lost last night, there was no signal, please don't worry, don't cry, don't cry... Yes, we are driving home now..."

After hanging up on his mother, he returned a call to his friends.

The content was much the same, all quite similar.

And everyone only then learned that the two of them had run into the Swamp to look for someone yesterday.

Actually, Shi Youxuan had mentioned once that she wanted to go to the Swamp to look for someone, but no one had taken it seriously at all.

After arriving home.

After taking a hot shower and eating a delicious meal, Shi Youxuan broke into a sweat and felt much better.

Jian Yixin came to the house to see her, and she told Jian Yixin: "Have A Ning send more people to search in the Swamp; I feel that Wan'er is right there."

Jian Yixin: "You should rest well, don't be anxious or upset. Do you want me to have a doctor come over to take a look at you?" She suspected that Shi Youxuan had been delirious from anxiety at first, and later was talking nonsense from a fever.

How could a person possibly be in the Swamp?

According to the timeline of when Jin Wan'er went missing, it didn't add up at all.

Moreover, there would be quite a few surveillance cameras along that route; if the kidnappers had really taken someone to that kind of place, they would definitely have discovered clues among the countless surveillance cameras along the way.

Of course, this was not Jian Yixin's deduction, but the result of the police's deduction.

Shi Youxuan saying that Jin Wan'er was in the Swamp did not conform to science!

Seeing that Jian Yixin was clearly in a state of disbelief and obviously had no intention of actually going to the Swamp to look for anyone, she immediately became anxious: "Believe me, I wouldn't joke with you guys at a time like this."

"Alright, you get some rest, don't think too much."

Shi Youxuan:...

Forget it, Jian Yixin would not believe her words, and even less would she tell Jian Yining.

She would call and tell him herself.

Shi Youxuan was very serious: "A Ning, you know that Wan'er and I are twins, right?"

"I know."

Jian Yining also became serious.

They had been old friends for many years and understood each other very well.

What they were like when joking and what they were like when being serious—there was no need to meet in person; one could tell just by the tone of voice!

Shi Youxuan: "If I tell you that Wan'er is in that Swamp east of the city, do you believe me?"

Jian Yining pondered for a moment, then said: "I will go over to search immediately."

Shi Youxuan: "Bring more people, don't let the distance between people be too far, leave marks where you park, and pay attention to safety."

Jian Yining brought many people to conduct a carpet search in the Swamp.

His wife had been out of contact for two full days.

These two days had felt longer than a century to him, and it was at this moment that Jian Yining realized how much he loved her.

Jin Wan'er—he had always felt that his wife was a substitute for Shi Youxuan!

But now he discovered that was not the case; she had unknowingly walked into his heart and occupied every part of it.

His wife was wise and strong; outside, she was a strong woman who could handle anything on her own, and back home, she was a gentle and lovely little woman.

Jian Yining hadn't closed his eyes for two days, searching everywhere like a madman.

He believed what Shi Youxuan said; even if the whole world didn't believe it, he would!

He believed it not because these words came from Shi Youxuan's mouth, but because he was willing to believe every clue related to his wife.

No matter how absurd others thought it was.

Anyway, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would not let it go.

Most of the people who came with him were people Jian Yining had paid to hire.

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men; although this place was not very good, as long as the money was enough, there were still many people scrambling to follow!

Being well-prepared, the commotion they made was naturally much greater than that of Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu.

"Wan'er, Jin Wan'er, where are you?"

"It's me, A Ning."

"Wan'er, I love you."

"Wan'er, answer me!"

The above were all sounds emitted from loudspeakers.

Jian Yining came prepared; he had prepared hundreds of loudspeakers, all recorded with his voice, playing on a loop in the Swamp!

The desolate Swamp had never been so lively before.

"Flap, flap—"

The startled birds flew into the sky, only to realize it was tragic—there was nowhere to land.

Ten people to a group, two people to a team, they advanced into the reed marsh in an orderly fashion.

The reeds were pushed down in large swathes.

……

Inside the Monitoring Room.

Ji Yingjie stared fixedly at the screen, slammed a fist onto the table, and gritted her teeth: "Damn it, these detestable men!"

A subordinate asked in a panic from behind: "Clan Leader, what should we do? What are we to do? We must stop them immediately, otherwise the enterprise you have managed for many years will be ruined in an instant..."

"Shut up, what are you squawking about?" Ji Yingjie scolded the subordinate.

A mocking smirk tugged at the corner of her mouth as she muttered to herself: "They think they can destroy my kingdom with these petty tricks? Keep dreaming!"

……

In the Swamp.

"Wan'er, I love you, I am..."

The loudspeaker suddenly lost its sound, and the bustling Swamp fell silent once again.

Not only that.

People discovered that the sickles used to cut the reeds suddenly stopped obeying them; some suddenly became very heavy, as if a hand underground were pulling them down!

Some people even felt the sickles in their hands pulling hard to both sides, one moment to the left, the next to the right.

Yet the people to their left and right clearly hadn't reached out, and everyone was experiencing the same situation.

A cold wind suddenly rose.

It blew against their faces with a pain like being cut by knives.

"Ghosts!"

Someone shouted, though it was unclear who.

"There are ghosts, run quickly, it will be too late if you're late."

With one person taking the lead to flee, more people immediately followed suit, dropping their sickles and loudspeakers one after another, and ran away.

Very quickly.

The massive crowd had run off, leaving only a few people behind—Jian Yining and his trusted subordinates.

Jian Yining said to his subordinates: "If you are also afraid, you can go with them; I will not blame you."

The subordinates shook their heads one after another, indicating they wanted to stay with him.

If they stayed, they would stay together; if they left, they would leave together.

"Thank you."

A thousand words welled up in his throat; Jian Yining, who was usually eloquent and talkative, could only say "Thank you" now.

A bond of life and death is nothing more than this.

The few people did not retreat and continued to move forward.

They maintained their previous formation, lining up in a row and using wooden sticks to push aside the reeds to search carefully...

The loudspeaker could no longer be used.

The sickles could no longer be used either.

Then they would use wooden sticks; fortunately, the wooden sticks were fine and were not being manipulated by any invisible force.

……

Underground Palace, Monitoring Room.

Ji Yingjie stared at the few people on the screen, feeling somewhat surprised.

Damn it, these few people actually weren't scared away?

This discovery made her very uncomfortable because it exceeded her consistent understanding.

The concept passed down through the Ji Family for thousands of years was that women are superior and men are inferior; women are noble and high above.

Men are only fit to do the coarsest work and are inferior people.

Aside from being useful for continuing the family line, men have no other use.

In her view, men have always been sleazy, cowardly, having strength but no intelligence, and having greed but no sense of responsibility.

But in just two short days, two men had actually overturned her understanding!
