Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 406 2 Secrets from a Few Years Ago

"That's not possible."

A deep voice came.

Si Chu was startled when a loud "bang" suddenly came from outside the window.

The once intact floor-to-ceiling window shattered instantly. Before the flying glass shards could even hit the ground, a tall figure burst through the window and landed steadily inside, accompanied by a sharp gust of wind.

It's the Qin Dynasty!

He moved with lightning speed, rushing straight to Yan Lan the moment he landed, shielding her behind him.

Qin Shi's gaze swept over her quickly, confirming that she was unharmed. His expression softened slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did you get in?"

Yan Lan was both surprised and delighted. She instinctively grabbed his arm, her voice full of worry, "The children...have the children been kidnapped by them?"

"Don't worry, they are in a very safe place."

Qin Shi's calm voice reassured her.

After finding Chaochao and Xiaoxi, he had already sent them away. The two children should be sitting in the car eating snacks now, and no one can hurt them.

Si Chu's face instantly darkened, and the composure in his eyes vanished.

He immediately gave his bodyguard a look, signaling him to check the guest room next door.

A moment later, the bodyguard quickly returned and reported in a low voice: "Young Master Si, there is no one in the guest room, and the window is open."

Si Chu's face turned ashen with anger. He looked down at Qin Shi, his tone laced with resentment.

“I really underestimated you. You managed to move the child away without anyone noticing and even found your way here.”

"This has nothing to do with you, don't get involved," Yan Lan said, then shrewdly glanced around.

This is the prefecture. Besides the two bodyguards in front of us, there must be many other people hiding in the shadows. It would be as difficult as climbing to heaven to escape unscathed.

"But I've already gotten involved."

Qin Shi's gaze swept quickly among the group, his tone calm and unwavering, "Do you think he'd let me leave now?"

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside.

The Yan family members were drinking tea outside when they heard the commotion inside and quickly came in.

Yan Xueyi pushed open the door and froze on the spot.

Yan Feng strode forward and shouted sternly, "Yan Lan, what are you doing? Have you offended Madam?"

Liu Jinnian followed closely behind, and when he saw the confrontation inside the room, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Since everyone's here, I'll just get straight to the point!"

Yan Lan spoke up, her voice showing no fear whatsoever.

Seeing this, Si Chu was about to wave someone forward to restrain her, but Qin Shi made the first move.

With a swift and clean overhead kick, Qin Shi pinned the strong special forces bodyguard to the ground. His movements were incredibly fast, even more so than those of a special forces soldier.

When Qin Shi saw the other party make a move, he immediately stepped forward, but another bodyguard pulled out a dagger and stabbed him hard in the back!

Yan Xue screamed in fright. Almost at the same moment, Qin Shi dodged to the side, barely avoiding the sharp edge of the dagger.

Then another unexpected event occurred: several more bodyguards rushed in and surrounded the group.

Yan Lan reacted extremely quickly, immediately pulling out a pen from her person. With a flick of her wrist, the pen was instantly unsheathed, flashing with a cold light. With a crisp "clang," it instantly severed the sharp military knife that the opponent was thrusting at her.

Everyone was taken aback, wondering what material the pen was made of. Then, she stepped forward, grabbed Siqin tightly, and shouted, "Stop it, all of you!"

This shout seemed to freeze everything in the room, as if a spell had been cast.

Seeing this, Si Chu's face darkened, and he shouted sternly, "Let her go!"

"Si Chu, you've always been ambitious and wanted to become the governor, so you deliberately concealed my background and even chose Yan Xue to replace me, letting her impersonate the governor's daughter in order to check and balance the real governor. Am I right?"

Yan Lan's voice was clear and resonant, reaching the ears of everyone in the room.

Liu Jinnian and Qin Shi's expressions changed simultaneously, while Si Chu was so angry that his face turned ashen and his hands trembled slightly.

Yan Xue, as if struck on a sore spot, was both shocked and flustered, and retorted angrily, "You're talking nonsense! You're the imposter, I'm the real governor's daughter!"

As she spoke, she glanced nervously at Liu Jinnian beside her, her eyes filled with anxiety.

A storm raged in Liu Jinnian's heart. How could this be?

Yan Lan is actually the governor's daughter! Yan Xue is an imposter!

Previously, Yan Xue had proudly stated that she was the illegitimate daughter of the governor, and it was precisely because of this identity that he and Yan Xue got married.

Unexpectedly, it was all a lie, and the one who orchestrated this deception was none other than Si Chu!

The more Liu Jinnian thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but clench his fists quietly.

"What the hell is going on?"

Qin Shi was still completely confused. Looking at the chaotic situation in front of him, he asked in a low voice.

"Yan Feng, you speak."

Yan Lan sneered and directly named Yan Feng.

Even if she speculates about what happened more than 20 years ago, it's only indirect; only the parties involved truly know what happened back then.

Of the key figures involved—Yan Feng, Si Qin, Uncle Tao, and Yan Yunxi—only Yan Feng and Si Qin remain present.

Yan Feng was suddenly called out, and his body stiffened abruptly, clearly startled.

His lips trembled, and he stammered in protest, "I...I don't know anything!"

"You really don't know?" Yan Lan raised an eyebrow and sneered, her eyes sharp as knives. "Don't you want to get your illness treated?"

She knew Yan Feng too well. He was a coward who valued life and death. In the face of life and death, so-called loyalty and righteousness were utterly worthless.

"Do you really have a way to cure my illness?"

Yan Feng's voice changed instantly, his eyes filled with doubt, yet he couldn't help but reveal a glimmer of hope. He subconsciously took a half-inch forward, clearly beginning to hesitate.

"Dad! Don't listen to her nonsense!" Upon seeing this, Yan Xue's face turned pale instantly. She hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Yan Feng's arm, and sternly stopped him, "She's just trying to fool you and get information out of you!"

"Even if he doesn't say anything, I've already investigated quite a bit."

Yan Lan completely ignored Yan Xue's clamor, her gaze fixed on Yan Feng, and slowly said, "Back then, Yan Feng and my mother Yan Yunxi both came from the same mountain village. Because my maternal grandfather saved Yan Feng's father's life, the two families had long been engaged, and the two were tied together since childhood."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over Siqin, whose face was growing increasingly pale, and continued, "But Yan Feng met Siqin at university, and after learning that she came from a prominent family, he immediately changed his mind and became her suitor."

Later, even after they both married, they remained entangled. Over the years, Yan Feng helped Si Qin do many shady things, and Si Qin secretly promoted him, giving him his current position. Am I right?

After speaking, Yan Lan glanced at Madam Yan beside her.

Madam Yan then seemed to wake from a dream, her face full of shock.

She had known for a long time that Yan Feng and Si Qin were from the same university, but she had never thought about it deeply, let alone knew that there was such a entanglement between the two!

She turned sharply to Yan Feng, her voice trembling: "Yan Feng, is what she said true?!"

"What are you meddling in there for!"

Yan Feng was so flustered by Madam Yan's questions that he snapped back impatiently, trying to interrupt her.

But his rebuke only made Siqin, who was standing to the side, even more flustered.

She never expected that Yan Lan would dig up even the deepest secrets from so many years ago.

"Anxious?"

Yan Lan chuckled, her gaze sweeping over everyone in the room, her voice suddenly rising a few decibels, "I have even bigger news, and everyone here will probably have to listen carefully."

She paused deliberately, watching Siqin's face gradually turn pale, before slowly speaking.

"Siqin actually has a son. Back then, she had countless suitors, but she was unfortunately deceived by a foreign student and became pregnant."

She later had an accident during childbirth, which injured her body, and she has been unable to have children since.

As for her son, he was never formally recognized as part of her family from a young age; instead, he was raised by her under the guise of being her brother's child.

The moment those words were spoken, the room fell so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone froze, their eyes wide with shock.

Si Chu, who had been calm all along, suddenly turned pale.

Among the male members of the Si family in this generation, he is the only one of similar age!

"Shut up! You bitch, shut up!"

Siqin could no longer hold on. Her face turned ashen, and she screamed shrilly, her voice filled with despair. There was no trace of her former elegant and noble demeanor.

Siqin's hysterical state already said it all.

No amount of explanation could change the fact that she was losing control of her emotions.

"Slander! Everything you've said is slander!"

She gritted her teeth, her voice trembling, yet she still tried to hold on. She suddenly turned to look at Si Chu, her tone filled with madness.

"Si Chu, arrest her immediately! Send her to jail and make her pay for these lies!"

But every word Yan Lan said was like a sharp knife, piercing her heart and instantly pulling her back to more than twenty years ago.

That past she dared not touch, that scar that had long since scabbed over, was now forcibly ripped open, revealing the festering flesh beneath, causing her excruciating pain that made it almost impossible for her to breathe.

At that time, Siqin was completely devastated after being deceived. She fell into a mental breakdown and was in a state of madness all day long, unable to even remember who she was.

Once, she secretly ran away from home when her family wasn't looking and wandered aimlessly through the streets. She was almost assaulted by a homeless man. Just when she thought she was about to fall into complete darkness, he appeared.

He reached out and pulled her out of the mire, personally took her to the hospital, and secretly arranged for someone to take care of her.

During those dark days, he was like a ray of light, gradually dispelling the gloom in her heart and giving her renewed hope to live.

Later, as she gradually recovered, she happily confessed her feelings to him, thinking she could finally grasp the light that illuminated her path.

But the governor simply shook his head gently but firmly, and said softly that he already had someone he deeply loved in his heart, a woman he was willing to protect with his life, and that he could not give her the response she wanted.

That woman is Yan Yunxi.

She was the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Si family. From childhood to adulthood, there was nothing she couldn't get if she wanted it.

Since he has feelings for Yan Yunxi, she has plenty of ways to make that country girl back down.

After all, Yan Yunxi was just an ordinary medical student with no family background or connections. She had to fight hard to gain a foothold in this city. How could she possibly compete with Si Qin?

During those days, she used the Si family's connections and methods to set obstacles for Yan Yunxi little by little, making it difficult for her to move forward at school and causing her to encounter setbacks everywhere in life, pushing her to the brink of despair.

In the end, she "won" as she wished, and Yan Yunxi disappeared forever from her and the governor's world, never to appear again.

However, despite all her calculations, she never expected that Yan Yunxi would have a daughter, let alone that this daughter would reappear before her like a leech after more than 20 years, digging up all the old stories.

"Yan Lan, how dare you endanger Madam's personal safety! Today's events are entirely your own doing!"

Si Chu's voice was as cold as ice. As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of orderly footsteps came from outside.

Everyone turned to look and saw that rows of fully armed bodyguards had completely surrounded the house, even guarding the windows, making it impossible to escape.

But no one knew that Si Chu's fear was already coming in waves.

How could Yan Lan know so much?

These secrets were so closely guarded that even the security agencies couldn't uncover a single detail back then.

The Si family has connections everywhere. In order to bury the past, they have long since erased all traces. Those things should have been buried underground forever!

Yan Lan knew too much, so much that it made him panic. This woman must die here today; he absolutely could not let her leave alive.

Seeing the heavily armed bodyguards outside, Qin Shi's expression became more solemn than ever before. He knew how dangerous the current situation was, and that the slightest mistake could lead to utter ruin.

Even so, he didn't hesitate for a moment. He stepped to the side and stood firmly in front of Yan Lan, his back straight, like an insurmountable barrier.

Yan Lan glanced down at Qin Shi, who was standing in front of her, and felt a sudden warmth on her back, but she didn't let her emotions show on her face.

Instead, she gripped Siqin's wrist even tighter, pulling her closer to herself.

"Si Chu, have you thought this through?"

The person in my hands is your own mother. Do you really want these bodyguards to open fire and riddle her with bullets?

Siqin's wrist ached from being gripped so tightly, and she cried out in fright, "Achu, save me... don't let her hurt me!"

Si Chu's eyes flashed with malice, but the words "biological mother" stopped him in his tracks.

He couldn't gamble, and he couldn't let Siqin get into trouble. That would not only be a matter of the Si family's reputation, but also the most crucial weakness in his years of planning.

He raised his hand to stop the bodyguard's movements and said coldly, "Yan Lan, let her go, and I can let you and Qin Shi leave. Otherwise, no one can protect you today."

"Let us go?" Yan Lan scoffed, her gaze sweeping over the bodyguards standing guard outside the window.

"Si Chu, do you think I'm a three-year-old? If you let her go, Qin Shi and I won't even be able to leave this room before your men shoot us to death. Do you think I'd believe your nonsense?"
