Chapter 329: Secret Pa.s.sage

The moment Leng Xi saw Yan Kuan enter, she began to sob and promise him. However, Yan Kuan was unmoved. He just stood there and looked at Leng Xi, trying to find something wrong with her expression.

However, there was nothing. Leng Xi’s expression was so helpless and afraid. This could not be faked.

An indiscernible look of inquiry flashed across Yan Kuan’s eyes. After a long while, he asked, “Leng Xi, why did you come back? Tell me, why did you come back?”

Seeing that Yan Kuan was actually talking to her, Leng Xi immediately said hurriedly, “I, I, I couldn’t go on, so I wanted to come back. Back then, it was Father who arranged the marriage for us, so I thought, I thought…”

“Marriage? Leng Xi, how could you have the nerve to say these words?”

Yan Kuan’s words made Leng Xi’s expression a little awkward. Indeed, even Leng Xi herself understood that she did not have the face to come back here. However, she had to come back. She had to.

“Leng Xi, you loved following me when I was young. At that time, I always thought that you would be my sister forever.”

Yan Kuan’s words were especially moving. Even Shen Xiaoxiao did not expect that Yan Kuan would actually have such a sentimental moment. Why did it sound so wrong?

“Brother, I was really wrong. Brother, can you forgive me? I was really wrong.”

When Leng Xi heard Yan Kuan’s words, she seemed to lose control of her emotions. She knelt down to Yan Kuan. No matter how she looked at it, it made people feel she was pitiful. It was as if a young and insensible child had realized their mistake, it was as if they were begging their family to forgive them.

“Leng Xi, when the old man died, he kept calling your name. He said that you loved eating osmanthus candies when you were young. I don’t know if you can still taste the taste of home when you’re out alone?”

When Leng Xi heard Yan Kuan’s words, she could be said to have completely broken down. She cried so much that she could not control herself.

“Daddy, Daddy, I was wrong, I was wrong!”

Leng Xi’s cries were mournful, but Yan Kuan remained unmoved. He looked at Leng Xi and continued to say, “Leng Xi, you sacrificed your life for a man. Do you think it’s worth it?”

Yan Kuan turned around and left after saying that. Was it over just like that?

Had he probed something out?

Shen Xiaoxiao sat in the room and waited for Yan Kuan. After Yan Kuan returned, no one could tell whether he was happy or angry, nor whether he had discovered anything. He did not say anything. He stood at the window for a long time before he said to Dark 1, “Let her go. Let someone follow her.”

Shen Xiaoxiao and Dark 1 looked at each other at the same time when they heard this. Was this another fake?

“She’s not Leng Xi!”

“But she’s so sincere. It doesn’t look like she’s fake!”

Yan Kuan turned his head and looked at Shen Xiaoxiao. He said, “She’s just acting too sincere. Dark 1, do you still remember how Leng Xi’s mother died?”

Dark 1 was stunned. He thought for a long time before saying, “A gas explosion!”

“Yes, it was a gas explosion. We all know that it was actually an enemy who came looking for her. However, there is one thing that you don’t know. Leng Xi told me herself that her mother entered the kitchen to make osmanthus cake for her. If Leng Xi didn’t like eating osmanthus cake, nothing would have happened to her mother.”

“Therefore, from then on, Leng Xi hated osmanthus cake to the core. However, Leng Xi’s performance just now was too good. Everything happened naturally. Her emotions were too well-prepared. This was not an expression that Leng Xi would have.”

“Even if something happened later, as long as she heard the words osmanthus cake, Leng Xi’s expression would definitely be filled with disgust.”

“So this guy is a clone again? That sounds so scary!”

Indeed, it sounded too scary. Everyone they knew seemed to have been duplicated by someone else. This kind of feeling was really creepy.

“Dark 1 has people watching closely. The person behind this must be very familiar with us. So from now on, everyone must be extra careful.”

“Yes, we all have to be extra careful. But fortunately, their technology is definitely not good enough. Otherwise, not every clone would have problems with their legs, right?”

Shen Xiaoxiao’s words were indeed on point. Yes, every clone had problems with their legs. After all, the current technology was still four years away. How could it be so perfect? It was already a miracle that it could restrain people. It would take at least a few more years to perfect the performance of a human.

“I have an idea.”

“What idea?”

Looking at the way Shen Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, Yan Kuan did not know who was going to be unlucky again. He only heard her say:

“We can’t release Leng Xi. Didn’t you say that you already know where those people are hiding? For the time being, we won’t release her. We’ll send her back to China and give her to the country.”

“Give them to the country?”

Dark 1 was shocked by Shen Xiaoxiao’s words. In the blink of an eye, he thought, ‘Is Miss trying to divert the trouble?’

“The Ouyang family still has a clone. I wonder if the higher-ups know that the Ouyang family actually has such terrifying thoughts and ambitions? Will they speed up their actions and make a move against the Ouyang family?”

“Your idea is not bad. Let’s do it this way. The most important thing for us now is to deal with the Ouyang family. This clone is related to the Ouyang family. As long as we wipe out the Ouyang family, everything else will be a small problem.”

Shen Xiaoxiao thought the same, which was why she came up with this idea. From the moment Qian Weitang was sent back to China, Shen Xiaoxiao knew that the best candidate to attack the Ouyang family was not her or Yan Kuan, but China itself.

Only by letting China deal with this cancer could it be uprooted without leaving any future trouble.

…

Ouyang Tian sat in the study room and was silent for a long time. Yan Kuan’s ability was so great that he actually escaped from under his eyelids. The words of An Ning and the words of Ouyang Jincheng that came back made Ouyang Tian have no choice but to believe it now. The one that they had become the death warrior was a fake from the beginning to the end.

This Yan Kuan had escaped to a foreign country. That place was his world. If he wanted to make a move against the Ouyang family, it would be much easier to do so from abroad. It seemed that they had to be fully prepared now.

“Clan Leader, Sir has arrived.”

The moment Ouyang Tian heard the butler’s voice, he immediately stood up. The person who could make Ouyang Tian stand up to welcome him, the butler was also a little curious about who this so-called ‘Sir’ was.

However, he was dressed in black and covered from head to toe. No one knew what this so-called black-clothed man looked like.

“Mister, have you found out? Is he fake?”

The black-clothed man walked into the room. As soon as he sat down, Ouyang Tian couldn’t wait to ask.

“Yes, it is.”

Ouyang Tian’s guess came true. Yan Kuan really ran away.

“Is there any secret pa.s.sage in the Ouyang family that you don’t know?”

“What?” Ouyang Tian was shocked. What did this gentleman mean?
