Chapter 671: The Uncovering of Shi Youxuan's Background
Nianyin admitted: "Yes, all of it was done by us. The lack of signal was caused by powerful electromagnetic interference emitted from here, and the time your car disappeared and then reappeared, that was also our doing..."
All the things that could not be understood now received a reasonable explanation.
And those "eerie" phenomena were not "supernatural events" at all; they were actually high technology.
Although the Ji Family lost a future outstanding Clan Leader back then due to her studying abroad, the old Clan Leader did not reject advanced scientific technology from the outside world.
The women of the Ji Family all have high IQs; having a photographic memory is an inherited ability!
They can learn anything just by looking at it once; not only did they learn the most advanced technology, but they also made quite a few innovations, only those innovations were not used in the right places.
They were all used in the Swamp to play at being ghosts and gods.
There is more than one entrance underground.
There was actually an entrance near that small earthen hut back then.
Their car was transported down from there; the purpose was to scare the two of them, let them stay in the Swamp for a night to suffer a bit, and retreat in the face of difficulties.
But they didn't expect that Shi Youxuan would be frozen until she developed a fever.
Ji Yingjie did not want her sister's daughter to have any mishaps because of her own reasons, so she sent people to quietly return the car.
And the lack of signal on the surface was due to strong electromagnetic interference emitted from underground.
Added to that were some rumors intentionally spread, and as they were passed from person to person, they became more and more bizarre.
The weather in the Swamp is inherently special, and coupled with people's awe of the unknown, their secret has been kept very well for many years, except for this time.
Regarding the Treasure, Nianyin didn't mention a single word; the three of them thought there must be an important reason for putting so much effort into guarding this place, but they all tacitly chose not to mention it!
Baobao was sent back.
Nianyin chose to trust the three of them.
Besides, it was inconvenient to take the child along to save the Clan Leader, so she took the initiative to return the child.
Wan'er wept with joy.
Jian Yixin was surprised: "Baobao wasn't in an incubator, yet she grew so well? How was that done?"
Jian Yining also didn't know how it was done, so he looked at Shi Youxuan.
Shi Youxuan spread her hands, with an expression of—you're asking me? Who should I ask?
No matter what, it is a good thing that Baobao was found, a great, wonderful thing!
But the day after Baobao returned, everyone was suddenly informed of the news that Sheng Hanyu, Shi Youxuan, and Jian Yining were going out to develop the market!
Everyone opposed it.
The Sheng Family.
Wang Yinghao and Sheng Jiang sat on the sofa, the old couple wearing the same expression—gloomy and worried.
Sheng Jiang: "Our family is very happy and fulfilled right now. Even if the money at home doesn't increase, it's enough for the whole family to lie on top of it and live well for several generations; why bother going out to struggle again?"
Wang Yinghao echoed: "That's right, that's right, your father makes sense. Hanyu, Xuanxuan, we are getting old and don't ask for anything else, we just hope the whole family can be together and safe; promise us not to go out and struggle anymore, okay?"
Shi Ran: "I want to go too."
Qi Heng looked at Shi Ran in surprise, then the same look appeared in his eyes.
Sheng Zichen's reaction was simple and crude.
He directly hugged his mother's thigh, wailing loudly: "Don't go, Mommy don't leave Baobao behind." He even threw a tantrum, using every possible means.
During this period, because there were too many things going on, Shi Youxuan had been negligent in her management of Sheng Zichen.
The little guy is the type who becomes lawless if not disciplined for three days; now, in order to achieve his goal, he began to be unreasonable and unruly.
Wang Yinghao wiped her tears: "You two look at how pitiful Erbao is; for the sake of the child, you shouldn't go out..."
The two were helpless.
People with families and children have too many attachments; there will always be someone kidnapping you in the name of love, but you are willing to be kidnapped and don't want to break free.
However, they still had to go.
Shi Youxuan gave Shi Ran a wink.
The daughter was very helpful and immediately dragged her younger brother away.
Sheng Hanyu: "Dad, Mom, don't worry. Xuanxuan and I are not going out to do dangerous things this time. We are entrusted by others and cannot refuse; we will be back before long."
They didn't tell the truth; one reason was that this matter had to be kept secret.
The second was that they didn't want to make their family worry.
Although Sheng Jiang and Wang Yinghao had never done anything too big in their lives, the two of them were not fools.
If the son and daughter-in-law were going on a long trip together, they must be going to do something risky!
Doing business?
That doesn't exist.
Although Shi Youxuan held the title of Chairman, she never participated in business matters.
If it were in the past, they would definitely have tried their best to stop them.
If the two didn't listen, the old couple would be very angry.
But now, although they were very worried, the two would not interfere too much in the couple's affairs.
They were no longer children; there must be their reasons for what they wanted to do.
"You must come back safely." Sheng Jiang exhorted the two: "Give them as much money as they want; safety is the most important thing. No amount of money is as good as people being well."
Through the "Chicken Lays Eggs" incident last time, Sheng Jiang now had a thorough awakening.
In the past, he always felt that he had lived a cowardly life and had been shortchanged, but now he knew that family affection was the most important thing.
Sheng Hanyu nodded: "Okay, Dad, I know."
Wang Yinghao took out two safety charms and personally hung them around the two's necks.
She told the young couple, "These two peace talismans were prayed for at the temple before the new year; they are specifically for traveling and can bless you to turn disasters into blessings and encounter good fortune in the face of danger."
Shi Youxuan:...
Usually, her mother-in-law seemed quiet, but in reality, she was more aware of things than anyone else.
She knew the two of them couldn't sit still, so she had even prepared the peace talismans for their trip!
Shi Youxuan: "Thank you, Mom."
Wang Yinghao: "There's no need for thanks between family; come, let me put them on for you both."
After putting on the peace talismans prayed for by her mother-in-law and eating a reunion meal with the family, the couple prepared to set off.
The Jian Family.
It was a different scene entirely.
In the room, Jian Yining and his wife were saying a reluctant goodbye, and Wan'er was crying like a tear-stained mess: "It's all my fault, it's all on me; if I hadn't signed that agreement back then, there wouldn't have been so many things that followed..."
She was the spitting image of a modern-day Xianglin's Wife.
Jian Yining held his wife and comforted her: "Be good, don't cry; you are still in your postpartum recovery period, you mustn't cry, or your eyes will ache later."
"I'm not going alone this time; with Hanyu Ge and Xuanxuan together, you can rest assured, there definitely won't be any danger."
Sheng Hanyu was capable and Shi Youxuan was full of ideas; the two of them had safely resolved so many things, and mentioning them helped Wan'er's emotions calm down a little.
But she was still worried and discussed it with her husband: "Can't we replace it with other conditions? How about I go talk to Nianyin? As long as you don't go, we can agree to any of her conditions."
Jian Yining asked in return: "Wan'er, what conditions do you think Nianyin would agree to for a replacement?"
Jin Wan'er:...
She was silent, unable to respond.
Her husband was right; there were no equivalent conditions that would make Nianyin agree to a change.
As for money, the Ji Family was not lacking.
What they lacked were people who could step forward in times of crisis and help the Ji Family resolve their troubles.
Jian Yining explained it to his wife in great detail.
He told his wife: "Their opponent this time is Zhu Yiwen, so he must go."
Wan'er was unwilling in every way, but in the end, she could only accept it.
She repeatedly urged: "A Ning, you must come back safely; the children and I will be waiting for you at home!"
