Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

As night fell, the lights in the city gradually lit up. Xin Mujing's car lights drew an arc in front of the villa and stopped steadily at the gate. He hurriedly unbuckled his seat belt, pushed the door open, got out of the car, and walked quickly into the house.

The villa was warm and cozy, with a faint scent of incense in the air. Xin's mother was sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of tea in her hand, with a hint of expectation and uneasiness in her eyes.

Xin Mujing saw her at a glance and called softly, "Mom, I'm back."

Mother Xin put down the teacup, looked up at Xin Mujing, and a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes: "Mujing, you just said on the phone that you had something to tell me, what is it?"

Xin Mujing stood opposite Xin's mother and took a deep breath, as if to draw all his courage into his lungs. He spoke slowly, his voice firm and deep: "Mom, I want to tell you something. About Ji Yan."

When Xin's mother heard Ji Yan's name, her heart tightened. She had naturally heard of Ji Yan, the girl who made her son willing to give up the Yang family's marriage.

Mother Xin looked at Xin Mujing's serious expression and knew that this was not a trivial matter. She nodded and said softly, "Go ahead and I'll listen."

Xin Mujing began to tell about his acquaintance, understanding, and love with Ji Yan, as well as the various misunderstandings and hardships between them. He told Xin's mother frankly that he and Lu Nanxu and others had done some wrong things to Ji Yan, and those things made him feel deeply guilty.

He raised his head, looked into Mother Xin's eyes, and said firmly: "Mom, I have only identified Ji Yan in my life. Even if she leaves me now, I will not change this feeling."

Mother Xin listened quietly, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes. From being calm at first to being shocked later, she didn't expect her son to be so affectionate to a little girl.

She frowned and said in surprise: "How dare you? That's the treasure of her parents!"

Xin Mujing was silent for a moment. He knew his mother was right. His past behavior was indeed extremely bad. He lowered his head and remained silent, as if he was repenting for his past.

Mother Xin looked at her son's silence and felt distressed. She sighed and asked, "Is Ji Yan really gone?"

Xin Mujing nodded, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face. Xin's mother looked at him and gently advised: "Since Ji Yan has left, then you should let it go. Don't think about her anymore."

However, Xin Mujing shook her head firmly: "Mom, I can't do it. I only want Ji Yan. I will find her, apologize to her, and ask for her forgiveness."

Looking at her son's determined eyes, Xin's mother gradually understood his determination.

She stood up, walked to Xin Mujing, and patted his shoulder gently: "Mujing, mom can't make decisions for you about love. But you have to remember that no matter what path you choose, mom will support you. But I hope you won't hurt other people's hearts again in the future."

Xin Mujing nodded and looked at Xin's mother gratefully. He knew that his mother's words were brief but weighty. He stood up, looked at Xin's mother deeply, then turned and left the villa.

As the night deepened, Xin Mujing stood at the door and looked into the distance. He knew the road ahead would not be easy, but he was ready.

……

Xin Mujing went out and thought about the express delivery he received at his old house today, which contained several unsightly photos and a series of highly suggestive messages. He felt uneasy, thinking that several other friends might encounter the same thing.

"Everyone, my old house received some unidentified express deliveries today, and the contents inside... aren't right. Everyone should pay attention recently to see if there are similar packages." Xin Mujing sent a message in the group of several people.

However, shortly after Xin Mujing sent the message, there was a hurried knock on the door of the Lu family's study.

Father Lu frowned, as if he had a bad feeling in his heart. He walked quickly to the door, opened the door of the study, and saw Lu Yi standing there with a pale face.

"Master, something bad has happened." Lu Yi's voice was trembling, and he held a courier tightly in his hand.

Father Lu's heart sank. He took the package and opened it. The contents inside made his face turn pale instantly. The woman in the photo was Ji Yan, the woman Lu Nanxu met at Xin Mujing's banquet.

"This is impossible!" Father Lu roared, "Someone must have done this on purpose to stop Nan Xu from running for election!"

He immediately ordered Lu Yi to investigate the matter, but his hands kept shaking. As time went by, the atmosphere in the study became heavier. Father Lu frowned, with anger and doubt in his eyes.

Finally, Lu Yi came back, his face was paler than before.

He handed Father Lu a thick investigation report and said in a trembling voice, "Master, I have found out. The woman in the photo is indeed Ji Yan, the eldest daughter of the Ji family. Her other identity is the ex-fiancée of Jiang Nansheng, the eldest son of the Jiang family. She met you on the day when Young Master Xin hosted the banquet."

Father Lu took the report and flipped through it page by page. His face became uglier and uglier, and his hands trembled more and more. Finally, he couldn't help but roared: "What is going on? Why did these things happen in our family?"

Lu Yi lowered his head and dared not speak. Father Lu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that the most important thing now was to handle this matter well and not let it affect Lu Nanxu's campaign.

"Find a way to find all the data of the Ji family!" Father Lu ordered in a deep voice, "Find out everything! Notify me immediately when you find the results!"

Lu Yi took the order and left. The study fell silent again. Father Lu sat at the desk, holding the report tightly in both hands. His heart was full of doubts and uneasiness. He knew that this matter would never be so simple.

Not long after, Lu Yi returned to the study again. His face was more serious than before, and he was holding a thick stack of documents in his hands.

"Master, all the data of the Ji family has been checked." Lu Yi's voice trembled a little.

Father Lu took a deep breath, took the document and looked through it carefully. His brows furrowed more and more, and the document in his hand became wetter and wetter. Finally, he put the document down helplessly, his face full of astonishment and despair.

"How...how is this possible?" Father Lu muttered to himself, "If other people knew about this...then Nan Xu's campaign...wouldn't it be...over..."

He took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down. He knew that now was not the time to panic and he had to deal with this matter as soon as possible.

"Lu Yi!" Father Lu's voice became firm, "Deal with this matter immediately! Don't let anyone know! Also... call Nan Xu back! Tell him I have something important to tell him!"
