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

In a corner of the manor, Ji Yan's studio is quiet and full of creativity. The sunlight shines through the window onto the workbench piled with design drafts and jewelry materials, adding a bit of warmth and vitality to this small world.

Although Fu Xichen's crying could still be heard occasionally, it was no longer as frequent as before, allowing Ji Yan to devote more time and energy to the jewelry design she loved.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a rhythmic knock on the door, interrupting Ji Yan's concentration on the design.

"Please come in."

Ji Yan didn't look up, but there was a barely perceptible hint of expectation in her voice.

The door was gently pushed open, and the figure of the butler Uncle Li appeared at the door, holding a package in his hand and with a gentle smile on his face.

"Ma'am, there is your package."

When Ji Yan heard this, her eyes lit up and she thought that perhaps the jewelry accessories that Fang Yuan ordered for her had finally arrived.

She quickly responded, "Great, please help me get it in, Uncle Li."

Uncle Li walked quickly forward and gently placed the package on Ji Yan's workbench, then politely left the room, leaving Ji Yan alone to face this unknown surprise.

In Ji Yan's carefully decorated studio, the afternoon sun shines through the half-closed curtains, onto her slightly nervous yet expectant face.

Her fingers gently stroked the package that had just been delivered, and complex emotions surged in her heart - a desire for an unknown gift and a hint of uneasy premonition.

"What could it be?"

Ji Yan muttered to herself, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation. She picked up the utility knife on the table, her movements gentle but firm, as if she was performing a sacred ritual.

As the seal of the package was slowly cut, an indescribable feeling of tension spread in her heart.

However, when the package was fully presented to her, it did not contain the dazzling jewels she had imagined, but instead a seemingly ordinary memory card and a note with neat handwriting and full of warmth.

"A special gift for Ji Yan, please watch patiently."

Ji Yan's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, but more of it was aroused curiosity.

She quickly walked to the computer nearby and inserted the memory card into the card reader. The screen lit up instantly and a video began to play automatically.

The video gradually became clear, and Ji Yan's pupils shrank suddenly. It was Fu Jingyan, whom she had been thinking about day and night but had been missing for a long time! He was lying on a seemingly simple bed, his eyes closed, his face pale, and he was obviously in an abnormal state.

"Ayan!"

Ji Yan couldn't help but exclaimed, with a hint of disbelief and anxiety in her voice. Her eyes were fixed on the screen, afraid of missing any details.

As the video continued to play, Ji Yan discovered that Fu Jingyan's body began to tremble slightly and his breathing became rapid, as if he was fighting fiercely with some invisible force.

His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat and his lips were tightly pursed, revealing the great pain he was enduring at the moment.

Ji Yan's heart tightened as well. She seemed to be able to feel every bit of Fu Jingyan's pain and struggle. Her eyes gradually became moist, tears rolled in her eyes, and finally couldn't help but slide down her cheeks.

She began to sob softly, her voice full of helplessness and heartache.

"Ayan, what happened to you? Where are you? Tell me quickly, how can I help you..."

There was a tearful tone in Ji Yan's voice. How she wished she could cross the screen and fly to Fu Jingyan's side to give him a warm hug and firm support.

But the reality was cruel. She could only watch Fu Jingyan struggling in pain while she was powerless to do anything.

This feeling of powerlessness made her feel unprecedented despair and pain. Her sobs gradually became louder, from soft sobs to full-throated sobs, tears falling like beads from a broken string, soaking her clothes.

"Ayan...you must hold on...I will find you..."

Ji Yan murmured while crying, her heart was full of determination. She knew that no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, she must find Fu Jingyan as soon as possible and rescue him from pain.

Helian Minxiao finished a busy day at the law firm, but his heart had already flown back to that warm home.

As a boss who is considered to be decisive and efficient by everyone, he would occasionally give himself a short vacation, especially when the longing for home came flooding in like a tide.

Today, he openly "skipped work" just to rush home early in the morning and give Ji Yan and the baby a surprise.

The moment he stepped into the house, a familiar and warm breath hit him in the face, and Helian Minxiao's heart was instantly filled with tenderness.

He couldn't wait to ask the housekeeper: "Where is the lady?"

"My wife is in the workshop, sir."

The butler replied with a smile, as if he was already accustomed to the deep affection between these people.

Helian Minxiao nodded and quickened his pace unconsciously, feeling both anticipation and a hint of inexplicable worry in his heart.

When he tiptoed to the door of the workshop, a faint cry penetrated the crack of the door and struck his heart. His heart suddenly tightened, thinking that Ji Yan had encountered some difficulties, and he pushed the door open without hesitation.

The moment the door opened, Helian Minxiao's eyes were immediately attracted by the scene in front of him - Ji Yan was sitting in front of the computer, tears falling like pearls from a broken string, her hands tightly clutching her clothes, looking extremely helpless.

He hurried forward and gently embraced Ji Yan in his arms, his voice gentle but firm: "Yan Yan, what's wrong? Tell me, what happened?"

Ji Yan felt the warm embrace of Helian Minxiao, as if she had found support. She hugged him back even harder, and her tears wet his clothes.

"Ayan...Ayan..."

She sobbed, her voice intermittent, but her finger pointed firmly at the computer screen.

Helian Minxiao looked in the direction of Ji Yan's finger and saw a video playing on the computer screen. The person in the video stunned him instantly.

That was his good brother, Fu Jingyan, who was once handsome and high-spirited, but at this moment he was lying on the bed, pale, trembling all over, gasping for breath, as if he was struggling with some invisible force.

This scene made Helian Minxiao's face full of disbelief, and endless worry and shock surged in his heart.

However, Ji Yan in front of him needed his comfort even more. Helian Minxiao patted her back gently and comforted her tenderly.

"Yanyan, don't be afraid. I will find a way. Let's calm down first and see if there are any clues in the video. The most important thing is that you take care of yourself."

Ji Yan gradually calmed down in Helian Minxiao's arms, but the tears in her eyes were still wet. She looked up at Helian Minxiao, her eyes full of trust and dependence.

"Thank you, Minxiao. With you here, I'm not afraid anymore."

Helian Minxiao smiled slightly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm here, everything will be fine." He gently wiped away the tears on Ji Yan's face.
