Finding Ji Tianxiong's daughter was not difficult. Two days later, the Luan family found Ji Xinyu working at a foreign-funded factory.
Ji Xinyu was twenty-five or twenty-six, with a pure appearance and delicate skin. Although she rarely dressed up, she stood out from the other workers.
When Luan Jiping saw Ji Xinyu, she was working on the production line.
"Hello, Ji Xinyu?" Luan Jiping said loudly from behind Ji Xinyu.
Ji Xinyu did not turn her head and said, "You have the wrong person, my name is not Ji Xinyu, my name is Chen Yan."
"If you are not Ji Xinyu, how do you know I'm talking to you?" Luan Jiping retorted.
"Because I know Ji Xinyu, she died two years ago."
Luan Jiping chuckled twice and said, "No, it's not Ji Xinyu who died, it's Chen Yan who died, and you assumed her identity."
"Sister, after all this talk, can you tell me what you want?" Ji Xinyu turned around and asked.
Luan Jiping smiled and said, "I'm from Donghai, my name is Luan Jiping."
"So you are the infamous Black Widow of Donghai. Do you need something from Ji Xinyu?" Ji Xinyu asked.
"Of course, otherwise why would I travel so far? Let's find a place to talk."
As Ji Xinyu stood up to leave, the female supervisor on the production line shouted, "Chen Yan, you are not allowed to leave."
As soon as the supervisor finished shouting, a large hand gripped her neck.
"You either take Ji Xinyu's place, or you die," Old Xiao said coldly.
The supervisor trembled and said, "Uncle, I was wrong, you go, I'll do it for her."
Old Xiao picked up the supervisor and placed her on the stool where Ji Xinyu had been sitting. "Get back to work quickly. If you leave before closing time, I will kill you."
The supervisor, terrified, quickly started working. Luan Jiping said, "Ji Xinyu, someone has taken over your job, let's go."
In a bar, Luan Jiping briefly explained the situation to Ji Xinyu and asked, "Ji Xinyu, do you want to return to the Ji family?"
Ji Xinyu nodded and said, "I want to, but I'm afraid of death."
Luan Jiping smiled kindly and said, "Come back to Donghai with me, you will inherit the Ji family."
Ji Xinyu shook her head and said, "Sister, my grandfather and father are under house arrest in the Ji family. With them there, it's good for me to be the young lady of the Ji family."
"Are you sure?" Luan Jiping asked.
Luan Jiping had sent people to search everywhere for Ji Tianxiong, but she never expected him to be under house arrest within the Ji family.
"I'm sure. Three years ago, my father and I were captured and placed under house arrest in the Ji family as soon as we returned to Donghai. A year ago, I escaped, and my uncle and the others sent people to hunt me down, so I had to hide everywhere, changing places every few months."
"Now your uncle is in my custody. Come back to Donghai with me, and I will rescue your father and grandfather first."
"Thank you, sister. As long as I can return to the Ji family, you will be my own sister from now on. I will follow your lead and do whatever you ask me to do."
Ji Xinyu knew that Luan Jiping would not have traveled so far to find her for no reason; she must have had her own agenda.
Luan Jiping nodded and said, "Remember your words, it will benefit you greatly."
After dealing with Ji Xinyu, Luan Jiping flew directly back to Donghai without returning home.
Long Xiao drove to the airport to pick up Luan Jiping, Old Xiao, and Ji Xinyu, preparing to find a place to eat.
Luan Jiping said, "No need, younger brother. Let's go directly to the Ji family, and let Xinyu host us."
Long Xiao drove the car directly to the Ji family. Upon learning that Long Xiao had arrived, Ji Tianyi personally came to the main entrance of the villa to greet them.
When Ji Tianyi saw Ji Xinyu in the car, he finally understood what Luan Jiping intended to do.
Ji Tianyi led Long Xiao and the others directly to the wine cellar behind the villa. This wine cellar was off-limits to anyone except Ji Tianyi and Ji Tianhu.
Opening the door to the wine cellar, they walked past piles of various wines and several large oak barrels, arriving at a small door.
Turning on the light, they found the small room was very cramped, only able to fit two beds and two chairs.
Seeing Ji Tianyi, Ji Yinghui, who was dishevelled, weakly lifted his head, looked at Ji Tianyi, then lowered his head and closed his eyes.
His health was deteriorating, and living in this damp and cold wine cellar, Ji Yinghui knew he wouldn't live much longer and had no desire to speak to his unfilial son.
Having been under house arrest for three years and moved to the wine cellar for over a month, Ji Yinghui and Ji Tianxiong were both on the verge of losing their sanity.
"Dad, it's Xinyu. Quickly open the door and let my dad and grandfather out," Ji Xinyu shouted, tears streaming down her face as she saw her father and grandfather.
Ji Tianyi opened the iron gate, and Ji Xinyu rushed in, sobbing uncontrollably.
Long Xiao sighed and said, "Let's go, Sister. We'll wait outside."
The two of them, along with Old Xiao and Xiao Ming, went outside the wine cellar. Ji Tianyi followed them with his head bowed, not daring to say a word.
Luan Jiping looked at Ji Tianyi and said, "Old Ji, have someone prepare a meal and a room for your father and brother."
Ji Tianyi nodded and left. Long Xiao watched Ji Tianyi's retreating figure and said, "Sister, he won't run away, will he?"
Luan Jiping shook her head and said, "He wouldn't dare. If he tried to escape, I'd ensure he never left Donghai alive."
An hour later, Ji Tianxiong and Ji Yinghui, after washing up, arrived in the villa's living room.
Upon seeing Luan Jiping, Ji Tianxiong immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, Sister Luan, for saving my life. Sister Luan, you are my reborn parent."
Seeing her father kneel, Ji Xinyu also knelt down.
Luan Jiping smiled and said, "Don't thank me. Ji Tianhu was captured by my brother, and it was my brother who was looking for your family of three."
Ji Tianxiong turned to Long Xiao and said, "Thank you, Brother Long, for saving my life."
Long Xiao stood up and helped Ji Tianxiong and Ji Xinyu to their feet, saying, "Mr. Ji, there's no need to be so formal."
Ji Yinghui clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Long, for saving my life."
Long Xiao quickly helped Ji Yinghui up and said, "Don't be so polite, Mr. Ji. Please sit down quickly."
After everyone was seated, Long Xiao looked at Ji Yinghui and said, "Mr. Ji, your health needs serious care, or you won't live for another month."
Ji Yinghui's health was worsening, and he also felt that his time was running out.
"Are you a doctor, Mr. Long?"
Long Xiao nodded and said, "I've studied some traditional Chinese medicine and run a clinic."
After chatting for a while, Ji Tianyi came in to call them for dinner. When they were all seated at the dining table, Ji Tianyi stood by the side, pouring wine and serving food for everyone, not daring to sit.
During the meal, Long Xiao and Luan Jiping said nothing. After eating, Long Xiao asked, "Xiao Ming, are the meals here satisfactory?"
Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction and said, "They are alright, better than those at our Xinglin Medicine Hall."
"You can stay here for two days. After two days, you and Mr. Ji will return to Xinglin Medicine Hall together, and I will help Mr. Ji recover his health."
"Boss, I have to stay with you, my roast duck..."
"There's plenty of roast duck here. Just stay for two days. You can return to Xinglin Medicine Hall anytime if there's any danger."
Long Xiao knew why Xiao Ming didn't want to stay here. He hadn't been with Long Xiao for long, but Long Xiao could tell he was hiding from someone.
"Boss, I really don't want to stay here," Xiao Ming said with difficulty.
"How about this, you stay here during the day and return to the Lin family at night."
Long Xiao compromised, and Xiao Ming reluctantly nodded, saying, "Alright boss, I'll do as you say. I'll go back to the Lin family after dinner tonight."
