Chapter 670: Cooperating with Nianyin

Just as she was preparing to go out, Shi Youxuan asked from behind: "Could you bring the child over for us to see? Her father hasn't seen her since she was born."

Nianyin considered it for a moment, then nodded: "Alright."

The three of them were all tied up, so even if they had great abilities, they couldn't use them, and she didn't need to worry about them being outnumbered.

She fed the baby formula, changed her diaper, and then brought her over for the three to see.

That's right, it was his child.

She looked exactly the same as the other two in the newborn nursery!

Jian Yining really wanted to snatch the baby away immediately and take her away from here.

But he restrained himself, kept his emotions stable, and negotiated with Nianyin: "Let's make a deal, shall we? I'll help you rescue the Clan Leader, and you return the child to me."

"The baby is still small, you have to raise her, and it will take at least twenty years to avenge your Clan Leader, but with our help, we can rescue the Clan Leader very quickly. Think about it, this deal is very worthwhile..."

Nianyin hadn't been there just now, and the three of them had already discussed it, unanimously feeling that they could do this.

Jian Yining was calm now, bringing out the shrewd mind and eloquence he used in the business world to deal with Nianyin... it was simply too easy!

Sure enough, she was tempted.

But she still had concerns.

Before Nianyin could say it out loud, Jian Yining directly pointed out her concerns: "You're afraid we won't keep our word, right? The baby is in your hands; after we rescue the Clan Leader, you can return the child to me then, okay?"

He added this condition on the spot.

Because he had just seen how skilled Nianyin was at taking care of the baby, he felt reassured; it was normal that she wouldn't believe them without showing some sincerity.

Nianyin considered it for a while and shook her head: "No, I don't have the final say in this matter; the Clan Leader must decide."

The three were speechless.

This girl really had a wooden head.

Sheng Hanyu reminded her: "Isn't your Clan Leader currently in the hands of bad people and still unconscious? Do you want to wait until she is in another world before deciding?"

Nianyin:...

From childhood to adulthood, Nianyin had only listened to the Clan Leader; it was very difficult for her to make a decision on her own now.

Moreover, this decision went against the Clan Leader's wishes.

If the Clan Leader were fine now, she definitely wouldn't agree.

But if they didn't cooperate, relying only on the strength of her and the sisters to rescue the Clan Leader really didn't have much chance of success; if the Clan Leader couldn't be rescued, everything would be in vain.

"Hmm, I agree to cooperate with you." Nianyin agreed.

Since they agreed to cooperate, everyone was now comrades in the same trench, and some secrets could be shared.

Nianyin told the three.

The Ji Family was located within the borders of Q Country, but it was not under the jurisdiction of Q Country; to be precise, no country could directly manage the Ji Family.

For thousands of years, the Ji Family had been ruled by women, with women being superior and men inferior.

It had always been this way, and there had never been any problems.

But a year ago, an airplane suddenly broke into the clan, and there were several men on the plane; from then on, the Ji Family underwent earth-shaking changes!

Among the men seeking refuge, there was one who was very good at scheming and won the Clan Leader's favor in a very short time.

He gave the Clan Leader many ideas that worked quite well, so he leaped from a slave to become the most favored man by the Clan Leader's side.

For example, the "Women's Rescue Association" was something this man bewitched the Clan Leader into establishing.

And the kidnapping of Jin Wan'er was also his idea.

But that man's original intention was to have the Clan Leader finish off Sheng Hanyu and kidnap Shi Youxuan, but the Clan Leader didn't follow it completely, which is why the kidnapping of Jin Wan'er happened.

When Nianyin said this, the three of them were basically certain—that man must be Zhu Yiwen who escaped from L Country.

The timing matched.

The image Nianyin described also matched.

Shi Youxuan asked: "What is the name of the man you mentioned? We have an old 'friend' named Zhu Yiwen; could it be him?"

She thought Zhu Yiwen would use an alias again.

However, Nianyin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, you are right, Miss, that person is indeed called Zhu Yiwen."

It really was him.

He didn't even use an alias this time; he was arrogant enough.

Shi Youxuan asked Nianyin some more questions, such as her relationship with the Clan Leader; looking so similar and keeping their eyes on them, if there was no connection at all, she feared even ghosts wouldn't believe it.

What she needed to figure out now was whether this mysterious Ji Family Clan Leader was kind or malicious toward the sisters.

If they risked danger to rescue the Clan Leader, only to end up saving an even greater enemy, then there would be no point.

Nianyin told what she knew: "Your mother and Miss Wan'er's mother were biological sisters with our Clan Leader; they were especially close since childhood. If your mother hadn't fled the Ji Family later, the position of Clan Leader would have been hers..."

It was only from Nianyin that Shi Youxuan learned her mother was named Ji Yingyin, and she had been raised as the Heir to the Ji Family back then.

The Clan Leader at that time, who was her grandmother, wanted the future Clan Leader to better manage the clan.

So she sent her abroad to study.

To learn the most advanced technology and skills from the outside world and return to be used by the Ji Family.

The intention was good, but she never expected that after three years of studying abroad, her daughter had learned many useful skills, but refused to return to inherit the family business!

Ji Yingyin had fallen in love.

The object of her affection was Jin Zhenwen, the only son of the famous Jin Family in A Country.

The two young people hit it off immediately and soon fell in love.

These lovers cherished each other, admired each other, and appreciated each other.

Every day they went to the Library together, studied together... spending time under the flowers and by the moon, making vows of eternal love!

They promised each other that they would not marry anyone else.

However, this relationship was met with strong opposition from the old Clan Leader.

She would not allow her daughter to date Jin Zhenwen!

Ji Yingyin was the future Clan Leader of the Ji Family, the future leader of the Ji Family; she could have men, but she could not favor one man exclusively!

What's more, she was even going to "marry" out, which was even more forbidden.

How could a woman of the Ji Family marry out?

The old Clan Leader flew into a great rage, personally led people to bring Ji Yingyin back, and forcibly tore the two apart.

But later, Ji Yingyin still ran away; it is said that Jin Zhenwen went through great hardships to find her, was tortured by the old Clan Leader until he nearly died, and then Ji Yingyin could not bear to see her lover being tortured, so she saved her lover and fled overnight, betraying the Clan Leader!

From then on, she never returned.

As for exactly what happened back then because of this marriage, Nianyin did not know the full story because she was too young.

Everything she knew was what she had heard the elders in the clan whispering about, saying that the incident had nearly shaken the foundation of the Ji Family.

The old Clan Leader issued an order: erase her name from the clan, and do not allow anyone to mention the three words "Ji Yingyin."

After the old Clan Leader passed away, her younger sister Ji Yingjie became the Clan Leader, and remains so to this day.

And the name "Nianyin" was given by Ji Yingjie to remember her sister!

Upon learning the story of her parents, Shi Youxuan felt a complex mix of emotions.

Her parents must have loved each other very much.

She had thought many times about what kind of person her mother was, but she never imagined she would have such a powerful background!

If her parents hadn't died in an accident, her life would certainly not be what it is now; she would not have been separated from her sister since childhood, nor would she have had to pretend to be a fool in her teens just to survive!

Sheng Hanyu noticed that his wife was in low spirits.

He changed the subject and asked Nianyin: "Those strange things on the ground were all created by you, right?"
