Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den
Chapter 17 Comfort
On that quiet morning, the sun shone through the half-closed curtains, dappling onto the spacious bed. On the bed, two women slept in each other's arms, motionless. The quiet atmosphere seemed to freeze even the air.
Li Qing, an elegant and tough middle-aged woman, frowned slightly, as if she could not completely relax even in her dream. And her daughter, Ji Yan, a young and fragile woman, had tears on her cheeks and frowned, obviously experiencing a nightmare.
Li Qing slowly opened her eyes, and her sight first fell on Ji Yan. Looking at her daughter's peaceful sleeping face, she felt an inexplicable sense of security in her heart. She gently reached out her hand, gently tidied up her daughter's messy hair, and then gently kissed her forehead.
Then she carefully stretched out her fingers and gently stroked Ji Yan's cheek. Her fingers touched a few cold tears, which condensed on Li Qing's fingertips and then slid down quietly.
"Yanyan..." Li Qing called softly, her voice full of worry and tenderness.
Ji Yan's body trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were full of confusion and fear, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare.
"Mom...Mom..." Ji Yan's voice was trembling and weak. She tried to sit up, but her body seemed to be bound by invisible shackles and she couldn't move.
Li Qing immediately supported her, using her arms to support Ji Yan's upper body so that she could lean on her shoulders. She gently stroked Ji Yan's hair, trying to calm her daughter's emotions with her actions.
"Okay, okay, baby," Li Qing's voice was gentle but firm, "Mom is here, you don't have to be afraid."
Ji Yan's tears began to flow uncontrollably, her body trembling in Li Qing's arms, as if she was recalling some unbearable past.
Li Qing hugged her tightly, using her body to shield her from the outside world. Her tears began to blur her vision, but she still tried to stay awake and used all her strength to protect Ji Yan.
"Don't cry, don't cry," Li Qing kept repeating in Ji Yan's ear, "Mom will always be with you. No matter what happens, Mom will be by your side."
After this long silence, Ji Yan's breathing gradually became steady and her body began to relax.
At this moment, there were slight footsteps outside the door. Li Ling's body stiffened slightly, and she raised her head carefully and looked at the door. She knew that it was her husband Ji Mingyu who came back.
With a "click", the door slowly opened and Ji Mingyu walked in. He looked a little tired, but there was a hint of concern in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Ji Mingyu walked to the bedside and looked at Li Qing and Ji Yan. "What happened?"
Li Qing shook her head. She didn't know how to answer this question. She just looked at Ji Mingyu with a complex emotion in her eyes. It was trust, dependence, expectation and worry.
Ji Mingyu seemed to have noticed something was wrong with Li Ling. He gently sat down beside the bed, reached out his hand, and gently held Li Qing's hand. "Don't worry, I'm here." His voice was deep and powerful, giving Li Qing an inexplicable sense of security.
Li Qing trembled slightly, she raised her head and looked into Ji Mingyu's eyes. "I know I can rely on you." Her voice was weak, but full of firmness and trust.
He looked at Li Qing, "Of course I will understand you and support you." There was a hint of tenderness and doting in his voice, "You and baby have always been the most important people to me."
Li Qing's eyes flashed with a touch of emotion and relief. She knew that Ji Mingyu supported her sincerely. "Thank you." She said softly, "I really feel at ease with you around."
……
On the top floor in the dark night, back to the luxurious box again, the lights were still dim and mysterious. Lu Nanxu sat on the sofa, his left arm lazily leaning on the soft Italian leather sofa, and his right hand holding a glass of dark liquor. There was a cynical look in his eyes, and his slightly raised eyebrows seemed to be asking something.
"Have you found out who gave me the drug?" he asked softly, with a hint of teasing in his voice.
Everyone's eyes turned to Xin Mujing, who was their think tank and could always give answers at critical moments. Xin Mujing leaned on the sofa, swaying the liquor in his glass arrogantly. His dark eyes were filled with absolute control over everything and everyone.
"It's the daughter of the Zhao family, Zhao Jiayu." Xin Mujing said lightly, with a hint of disdain in his voice, as if this answer was already expected by him.
Lu Nanxu's lips curled up into a playful smile. He looked at Xin Mujing, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "It seems that this Zhao Jiayu is indeed not simple."
Everyone smiled at each other; the tacit understanding and trust between them reached its peak at this moment.
Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the silence in the box. "Knock, knock, knock..." The sound echoed in the empty box.
"Enter."
A man in a black suit walked into the box and bowed slightly to the people present. He said nervously and seriously, "Boss, I found someone is checking the information of Dark Night."
Fu Jingyan still maintained a military posture, sitting upright on the sofa. His eyes were filled with a majestic aura, staring at the man in black in front of him.
"Who is it?" His voice was low and powerful.
"It's the head of the Ji family, Ji Mingyu." The man in black replied with a hint of awe in his voice.
Zheng Haoqian's expression changed slightly, his eyes narrowed, and his lips pursed tightly. He crossed his arms and thought for a moment, then ordered decisively: "Oh! No need, let him check. But don't leak the data."
The man in black nodded slightly, then turned and left. Although he was full of doubts, he understood that these people were the real controllers behind the dark night. He had to obey their orders unconditionally.
Xin Mujing gave a foxy smile, with a cunning gleam in his eyes.
"It seems that they are here to check the whereabouts of the cat. Did the surveillance camera capture it?" he asked softly, as if talking about something unimportant.
Helian Minxiao drank the liquor in his hand, his eyes were cold and sharp. He said calmly: "The woman from the Zhao family is quite smart. She knows that even with the family background of the Yiji family, she can't get the surveillance video. She even turned around and threw the baby's bag back here as a gesture of good will."
Lu Nanxu narrowed his eyes, and the green eyes hidden behind the lenses flashed with a mysterious light. A playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Keep the video first, and let baby deal with the woman himself later. As for baby's bag, let the Ji family find it." He said softly, as if he was planning an ingenious game.
Everyone present smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was filled with an inexplicable conspiracy and calculation.
