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

Ji Yan was just about to place the wine glass in her hand safely on the table beside her, but perhaps her mind had already flown to the baby far away, and her movements unconsciously lost their composure.

There was a crisp "crack" sound. The wine glass was not placed steadily. After shaking a few times, it could not escape the bondage of gravity and fell to the ground, turning into crystal fragments. The red wine splashed everywhere, staining the white tablecloth red.

For a moment, the whole living room seemed to be quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ji Yan. A trace of uneasiness flashed across Ji Yan's face, but more of it was an indescribable worry.

At this moment, she seemed to feel a throbbing from deep within her heart, a unique telepathy between mother and child, strong and clear.

"Baby...is it..."

Ji Yan's voice trembled slightly, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

She stood up suddenly, ignoring the broken pieces of wine glass scattered at her feet and Fang Yuan's concerned voice beside her, and ran straight towards the stairs, each step seeming so eager and determined.

"Yanyan, be careful!"

"Yuanyuan, the baby...something must have happened to the baby!" Ji Yan was so anxious that she couldn't even speak clearly.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan quickly stood up and wanted to chase after her, but was worried that the debris on the ground would hurt her, so she had to quickly go around to the other side, carefully clearing the way for her, while shouting loudly.

"Don't worry, I'll go up with you to take a look!"

Ji Yan did not pause for a moment. She had only one thought in her mind - to confirm the baby's safety as soon as possible.

The stairs seemed no longer so long under her feet, and each step carried all her love and responsibility for the role of mother she was about to become.

……

In a corner of the banquet, four elegant men, Xin Mujing, Lu Nanxu, Zheng Haoqian and Helian Minxiao, were immersed in conversation with other guests, but their eyes unconsciously shuttled through the crowd, and finally always gently fell on Ji Yan not far away.

However, this tranquility was soon broken by Ji Yan's sudden change. Her face suddenly changed, a flash of panic flashed in her eyes, and then she hurriedly stood up and almost stumbled to a corner of the banquet hall.

Xin Mujing and the other three looked at each other and understood each other's intentions without saying anything. They hurriedly apologized to the guests beside them and followed Ji Yan like four gusts of wind.

The men were extremely fast, and with their familiarity with the banquet venue, they quickly caught up with Ji Yan.

Helian Minxiao, as the most careful and gentle one among the four, was the first to rush to Ji Yan, gently hugged her in his arms, and asked in his low and magnetic voice.

"Yanyan, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Ji Yan looked up at Helian Minxiao, her eyes full of anxiety and helplessness. She trembled her lips and murmured repeatedly.

"Baby...baby..."

But she couldn't say any more. Helian Minxiao saw this and felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart. He realized that Ji Yan's panic must be related to her child.

"Don't be afraid, Yanyan, I'm here."

Helian Minxiao gently comforted Ji Yan, his eyes full of determination and resolve, "Don't worry, the baby is fine, I'll take you to find him."

With Helian Minxiao's comfort, Ji Yan's emotions gradually stabilized, but she still couldn't express her worries clearly.

Helian Minxiao did not ask any further questions, but just hugged her even tighter, giving her the most solid support.

However, at this moment, a rapid phone ring suddenly sounded in the corridor, breaking the silence around him. Xin Mujing took out his mobile phone from his pocket, glanced at the display on the screen, and his face suddenly became solemn.

He picked up the phone, only to hear an anxious voice from the other end: "Master, this is bad! Something seems to have happened to the young master, we are urgently investigating!"

When Helian Minxiao heard this, his uneasiness instantly grew. He looked at Ji Yan, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.

"Yanyan..."

He started to speak, but didn't know how to continue. The uneasiness was like a dark cloud hanging over everyone's heart, making them all sense the coming storm.

Just as they were lost in thought and worry, Helian Minxiao took a deep breath, looked at Ji Yan again, and said firmly: "Yan Yan, no matter what happens, we will protect you and the baby. Let's go and see the situation now."

As he spoke, he gently let go of Ji Yan, but one hand still held her hand tightly, as if to pass on strength and courage to her. Xin Mujing and the other two also followed tacitly, and the four of them walked side by side, walking quickly towards the room where the baby was.

At the end of the corridor, the lighting was exceptionally soft yet slightly tense.

Ji Yan's footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, and every step seemed to step on the strings in her heart, causing ripples.

Her heartbeat and footsteps blended into a rapid, anxious melody.

The closer they got to the infant ward, Ji Yan's pace quickened involuntarily, and her mood became heavier.

Suddenly, as if she had made up her mind, she turned around and pushed Helian Minxiao away with all her strength. Although this push was not intended to hurt him, it seemed a little abrupt because of her nervousness and eagerness.

Helian Minxiao was pushed by the sudden force and staggered slightly, but he quickly steadied his body. Almost at the same moment, he stretched out his arm and steadily caught Ji Yan, who was staggering due to inertia.

The two people's eyes met in the air. Helian Minxiao's eyes were full of worry and confusion, while Ji Yan was extremely anxious and her face was as pale as paper.

"Hurry... quick, open the door!"

Ji Yan shouted with almost all her might, her voice mixed with unquestionable determination and a barely perceptible tremor.

She turned back suddenly, staring at the closed door of the baby room with sharp eyes, her anxious face full of uneasiness and expectation.

The bodyguards at the door were startled by the sudden command and cast doubtful glances. One of the bodyguards couldn't help but ask.

"Mrs. Ji, what happened? You look... very anxious."

His voice was full of concern, but also a hint of confusion.
