Chapter 849: Honesty is Just a Facade

If the other party wants to harm them, they will find an opportunity sooner or later; only by cutting the weeds and digging up the roots can future trouble be avoided forever.

"It will be too late once she makes a move. Xuanxuan, I absolutely will not allow you and the children to be in the slightest danger; you must understand me." He pressed a kiss to his wife's forehead.

"Your aunt is already on her way and will be here soon."

Shi Youxuan:...

Her husband had actually acted first and reported later, notifying her aunt before telling her.

When Ji Yingjie arrived, Rong Huaying was teaching postpartum women how to perform postpartum care. The moment she saw Ji Yingjie, her face turned as pale as paper, devoid of any color.

"Come with me." Ji Yingjie did not waste words.

"Heh! I hid so well, yet you could still find me? Sheng Hanyu must have told you, right?" Rong Huaying put away her usual honest appearance, grabbed a postpartum woman, and suddenly pulled a Dagger from her body to hold against the woman's throat.

"Get back, all of you get back, let me go!" She shrieked, her face revealing ferocity.

The postpartum woman in her arms didn't even struggle; she fainted instantly.

"Ah—murder!"

"Help!"

"Help!"

The large postpartum care room fell into chaos instantly; the women fled in all directions, and screams filled the air.

The hostage in her arms had already fainted, and it would be even more strenuous to drag her along, but if she didn't take her, her own safety could not be guaranteed.

"Move aside, all of you move aside, otherwise I will kill her!"

Screams filled the surroundings.

No one present had ever seen such a scene, and several people were scared into fainting.

The scene was in complete disarray.

Someone wanted to call the police, but Rong Huaying refused: "No calling the police; whoever dares to call the police, I will kill her."

She waved the Dagger around wildly, the blade flashing with a cold light.

No one dared to call the police anymore; under the pressure of the Dagger, they huddled in the corner, trembling.

"Ji Yingjie, let me go, and I promise I won't cause you any trouble."

"Hahahaha..."

Ji Yingjie laughed arrogantly: "Rong Huaying, I thought you were very smart, but it turns out you're just a fool. It's not that I'm afraid of you causing me trouble now, but that I am looking for trouble with you; you'd better get that straight."

Cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

She knew exactly how ruthless Ji Yingjie could be.

If she fell into her hands, the outcome would definitely be miserable!

"Don't come over; if you dare take one more step, I will kill her." Her only bargaining chip now was the unconscious woman in her hands.

Ji Yingjie took a step forward, provoking her: "Kill her then. I don't even know this woman; whether she lives or dies is none of my business. But if you kill someone, you definitely won't be able to leave Jiangzhou. I won't even have to lift a finger; that works out perfectly."

Rong Huaying:...

That's right, she was correct.

What should she do?

What on earth was she supposed to do?

She was panicked to the extreme; seeing Ji Yingjie approaching her step by step, she retreated step by step!

Ji Yingjie: "Don't be nervous. You know my target isn't you. You performed very well in the Ji Family. As long as you can hand those two brats over to me, I can let bygones be bygones, and I'll even give you a sum of money so you won't have to do anything for the rest of your life and can live comfortably."

"That won't work, it's impossible. They are Yiwen's children, his only bloodline; I cannot do that..."

"Why won't it work? Zhu Yiwen isn't even good to you. After he had children with you, he threw you away like an old rag and wouldn't even let you see the children. Why are you so pathetic, you useless thing?" She said, inching closer as she spoke.

Seeing that Ji Yingjie was already right in front of her, she really had no other choice and prepared to abandon the hostage and flee.

Just at this moment, the hostage woke up; the moment she opened her eyes, she began to scream loudly and shoved her elbows backward with force.

Rong Huaying was holding the Dagger, and when the hostage's elbow hit it, the Dagger "plunged" into her chest.

The air froze instantly; no one expected such a sudden reversal.

Ji Yingjie reacted the fastest, shouting loudly: "Don't just stand there, call the police, hurry and send her to the hospital, she absolutely cannot die."

She wasn't concerned about whether Rong Huaying lived or died; the main thing was that if she died, no one would know the whereabouts of those two brats.

"You will never find them, never."

The corners of Rong Huaying's mouth curled up, she smiled triumphantly, and took her last breath.

Rong Huaying was dead, and this lead was broken.

She had protected the two children extremely well; everything she said before was just a smokescreen.

Sheng Hanyu and Ji Yingjie dispatched a massive amount of manpower and resources, almost digging three feet into the ground in Jiangzhou, yet they didn't find a single clue about the two children!

However, Rong Huaying's home was found, and another diary was discovered in the place where she lived. Her arrival at the confinement center was indeed a calculated move to get close to Shi Youxuan and harm her two children to avenge Zhu Yiwen!

Shi Youxuan was terrified; it was fortunate she listened to her husband and didn't let Rong Huaying come into contact with the two children. If she had really handed the children over to that woman, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The twins turned one month old.

The Sheng Family didn't hold a big celebration; they simply invited a few relatives and good friends over to the house to offer their congratulations.

Jin Laoyezi and his wife brought Zichen back.

"Zichen, Grandma's good child, you've finally returned." Sheng Jiang and his wife had been standing at the door since early morning, craning their necks in anticipation, waiting for their grandson to return.

This child had never left their side, but this time he had been away for a full month; the old couple had been waiting for their grandson until their eyes were red.

"Come over quickly and let Grandpa see, has my treasure lost weight?" Sheng Jiang was very excited.

But he was poked in the lower back by his wife, and he immediately realized that this remark was inappropriate.

What would the old couple of the Jin Family think? It would sound as if the child had been mistreated at his great-grandparents' house.

Sheng Jiang was embarrassed.

He was never very good with words, and although he had improved quite a bit over the years under Wang Yinghao's correction, he still said the wrong thing today.

"Grandparents dote on their grandchildren without reason; we understand." The old couple were very reasonable and stated their position before Sheng Jiang could even explain.

Sheng Zichen followed his great-grandparents into the room to see his mother and his younger brothers.

"They're so small, Mommy, can I touch them?" He looked at the twins sleeping soundly in the crib, feeling it was very magical.

His mother smiled and said, "You were this small when you were just born, too. Go ahead and touch, but be careful."

That was right; Sheng Zichen was also this small when he was born, about the same size as the twins were now.

Zichen carefully used his chubby little hand to hold hands with his two younger brothers, and even blurted out a very refined phrase: "When brothers are of one mind, their strength can cut through metal."

"Good heavens! Zichen, you even know how to use idioms?" Shi Youxuan was overjoyed and very happy.

This was all thanks to his grandparents; they had taught him well.

But very soon, she could no longer be happy.

At the twins' full-month banquet, Sheng Zichen showed off a skill.

This skill would have been better left unshown; Sheng Hanyu's face, which had just started to show a hint of a smile, instantly turned as dark as soot from the bottom of a pot.

He had made a dish—Blooming Wealth.

He served it on the table for everyone to taste; the others were fine, but his father's expression was very ugly.
