Fanyang?
Who is Fanyang?
As Jessica instinctively thought of the name, she heard her heart pound.
The moment her body trembled, images of small bridges and flowing water even appeared in her mind.
The water flowed gurgling—
Her knees bumped hard, and after several deep breaths, she managed to suppress this uncontrollable, purely instinctive, and rapid reaction.
An indescribable fear also suddenly surged from the bottom of her heart.
All because of her!
Just hearing Li Qianfan's voice caused such a strong reaction!!
Then, what about when she saw him?
Fortunately, no one was present.
Otherwise, they would have been shocked by Jessica's eyes suddenly brightening, her skin instantly flushing hot, and the scent of love overflowing.
"Li Qianfan, under the alias Fanyang, has contacted me."
"Wasn't he in Las Town?"
"Is he asking me to go there now?"
Jessica's mind raced, and she bit her lip hard, forcing herself to calm down.
With a calm, noble tone: "Oh, I remember who you are. It's been a long time."
"Yes, it's been over a month in the blink of an eye."
Li Qianfan also said casually, "Madam, are you well now?"
"I'm alright."
Jessica asked, "Mr. Fan, may I ask why you're looking for me?"
Li Qianfan replied, "When you gave me this phone number back then, you said that if I wanted to relive our past, I just had to call this number, and you would appear before me within 24 hours."
"Yes."
Jessica pretended to be silent, then after a moment said, "I keep my word. Or rather, I also hope to relive our past with you."
Li Qianfan said directly, "Now, I'm calling you."
"I'll come find you."
Jessica's forced composure began to crumble: "Where are you now, in the East or somewhere else?"
Of course, she knew that Li Qianfan was currently in Las Town, thousands of miles away.
Even though the distance was far—
For true love, Jessica would do her best to pursue it!
Li Qianfan replied, "I'm in England now."
What?
Jessica was stunned again.
After Li Qianfan gave a specific location, he asked, "How soon can you get here? If it's inconvenient, it's also fine."
"He actually came to England!"
"But everyone knows he's in Las Town."
"Why did he quietly come to England?"
"I know!"
"He's going to bring the White Belly Bird back to the world and raise his butcher's knife against the Rhode family!!"
"He hasn't given up, he must make the Rhode family pay the most painful price for their actions in the Blackwater Forest."
At this point, Jessica's mind was racing faster than ever.
But on the surface, she asked in a low voice, "Did you investigate me? Do you know I'm from England?"
This time it was Li Qianfan's turn to be surprised: "Ah, you're from England?"
"Yes."
Jessica nodded, "Wait for me, and we'll talk about it when we meet. Hmm, give me a maximum of two hours. Any faster, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it."
In fact.
Rhode Castle was only an hour's drive from the small inn where Li Qianfan was staying.
Jessica said this, of course, to avoid revealing her exact location.
"Okay, Madam, I'll be waiting."
After Li Qianfan, who had successfully arranged a meeting, finished speaking, the call ended.
Jessica's previously dazed head was now completely clear.
She realized that this was a great opportunity bestowed by God to capture Li Qianfan!
"Fortunately, when I was negotiating with the people from the East, I signed certain confidentiality agreements with them beforehand. This way, Li Qianfan wouldn't know that I am the wife of the Rhode family."
Jessica murmured, quickly getting out of bed.
She first threw her very damp pajamas into the washing machine and washed up as quickly as possible.
Makeup.
Capture!
She must seize this opportunity to capture Li Qianfan!!
It would be best to permanently imprison him somewhere.
Then, whenever the respected, noble Madam Jessica had a desire, she could run over and catch him for her own pleasure.
Thinking that she had an 80% chance of making the future Dragon Lord of the Dragon Ruins her plaything, Jessica was so excited that her desires overflowed.
But as her phone rang—
The call was from Dr. Price, his voice suppressed, tense, and even carrying some fear: "Madam, you need to be mentally prepared! Because, because the Elder Council has begun to suspect that your pregnancy symptoms are not related to Count!"
What!?
Hearing Price say this, Jessica's heart pounded again.
It pounded even harder than when she first heard Li Qianfan's voice.
Because the news Price had given her was a devastating disaster!
If the Elder Council of the Rhode family were to find out that the next generation Jessica was carrying was not related to Green Rhode, what would happen?
Even with her most delicate little toe, Jessica could guess.
"Tell me exactly what's going on, explain it in detail."
Jessica's mind, filled with romantic fantasies, instantly dissipated, and all her cells and nerves immediately switched to "combat mode."
The Elder Council of the Rhode family's suspicion of Jessica was still related to Li Qianfan.
More than a month ago.
After the White Belly Bird caused two bloody incidents in Gaul, it quietly withdrew.
The Rhode family had to thoroughly investigate who the White Belly Bird was, to avoid dying without knowing how in the future.
This matter was originally to be handled personally by Jessica.
However, due to her severe pregnancy symptoms, she had to rest in bed.
The work of thoroughly investigating the White Belly Bird was then taken up by a core member of the Rhode family.
It was purely by chance.
This member, while examining surveillance footage near a small inn, discovered that the respected Jessica, limping, had walked out of the small inn.
This discovery, with a probability of at most one in ten thousand, greatly shocked this member.
However, he knew very well that Jessica's status was extraordinary, and he dared not speak rashly.
After many days of investigation—
He finally confirmed that on that morning, the respected Jessica had spent seven or eight hours alone in a room of a small inn with an unknown East Asian man the previous night.
Even a fool would know what that couple had been doing inside.
And then, considering that Jessica's pregnancy began after that event!
The more this core member thought about it, the more he was terrified!!
After much deliberation, he finally informed an Elder this morning.
When the Elder heard it—
He blurted out two words: "Holy crap!"
The seven or eight Elders currently at home, after a secret meeting, decided not to tell Green Rhode for the time being, nor to directly question Jessica.
They had to first figure out if the child Jessica was carrying had any problems.
Because they had heard rumors before that Jessica's pregnancy symptoms were not due to Green Rhode's prowess, but with the help of technology.
Dr. Price had led the "insemination surgery" for Jessica.
Thus, the Elder Council decided to speak with Dr. Price first.
Of course.
They certainly wouldn't directly threaten or bribe Price.
Under the guise of caring about the family's next generation, they hoped Price would admit that Jessica's pregnancy was caused by technology, not Green Rhode's merit.
Dr. Price had also been mentally prepared for this matter.
After all, the "surgery" performed on Jessica could not be hidden from others.
As long as it could be confirmed that Jessica was carrying her and Green Rhode's crystallized love.
But as they asked, they revealed their suspicion that the child Jessica was carrying was not related to Green Rhode!
Whether that child was Green Rhode's seed, Dr. Price knew very well.
He swore that he would compensate tenfold for any falsehood, while despairingly contemplating what to do.
After much thought, Price still decided to inform Jessica (the Elders threatened to kill his entire family if he told Green Rhode and Jessica that the Elder Council was secretly investigating this matter).
Because Price felt that he and the noble Jessica were in the same boat.
"These old bastards deserve to die!"
After listening, Jessica gritted her teeth and cursed in a low voice.
She then said calmly, "Dr. Price, you don't need to worry. And don't do anything foolish. I will resolve this matter within 72 hours at the latest."
Price instinctively asked, "Madam, what can you do?"
Jessica smiled sinisterly: "Let them die."
Ah?
Price shivered in fear and hurriedly advised, "Madam, please remain calm!"
Jessica replied, "Don't worry, I will not use any of the Rhode family's power to send these old things to their deaths."
Price was confused: "Then you?"
"The White Belly Bird has arrived."
Jessica hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "He is about to raise his butcher's knife against the Rhode family."
