Chapter 310: Chapter 308: Break His Arms and Legs
"Jian Xi, I really didn’t trick your son away! There must be some misunderstanding. Please, get up first!"
He reached out to help Jian Xi.
Jian Xi forcefully pushed him away. "Why? Why won’t you give me back my son, Si Yuhuan! You forced me to do this!"
An immense hatred blazed in her eyes.
"Wang Hao! Seize him! Break his limbs! I refuse to believe he won’t hand over my son then!"
Jian Xi, trembling with rage, roared.
Everyone stepped back as the ace mercenaries advanced, cracking their knuckles in anticipation.
Si Yuhuan’s brow tightened. Ace mercenaries, renowned in high society, internationally famous. These bodyguards are demons forged in life-or-death struggles, true warriors who have crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood; each one easily a match for ten ordinary men. Although the bodyguards I brought are skilled...
Before Si Yuhuan could react, Wang Hao was the first to charge. "Hand over the Young Mistress’s child now, or die!"
His movements were swift and ruthless, each blow aimed to kill; he was clearly intent on murder.
Si Yuhuan was no pushover and immediately engaged him.
Yan Qing and the other bodyguards fought back fiercely, and for a time, they held their ground.
Indeed, Si Yuhuan’s men were no easy opponents.
Jian Xi clenched her fists, her whole body trembling uncontrollably with anger. "Go! Send in more men! Finish this quickly!"
She knew Si Yuhuan; a man like him always had an ace up his sleeve.
At her command, another contingent of ace mercenaries appeared.
"Go! Capture Si Yuhuan alive!" Jian Xi ordered through gritted teeth.
"Yes, Ma’am!"
As more ace mercenaries joined the fray, Yan Qing’s men were quickly overwhelmed. The reinforcements headed straight for Si Yuhuan.
"Director Si, look out!" Yan Qing shouted, seeing several assailants converge on Si Yuhuan. He desperately wanted to help, but he had no chance; the two ace mercenaries he faced were more than enough to keep him pinned down.
"Jian Xi! Are you trying to start a rebellion?!" Si Yuhuan roared.
"Fifth Brother! What are you still waiting for?!" Jian Xi yelled, her voice low and furious, tears of frustration and grievance welling in her eyes.
"Coming!"
The leader of the ace mercenaries, Jian Xi’s fifth brother, Jian Yanjun, strode in like an iron pagoda. He stood 1.95 meters tall, a veritable giant. His physique was formidable; even under his suit, his powerful chest muscles strained against the fabric, hinting at his immense strength.
Flames of anger burned in Jian Yanjun’s eyes. He cracked his neck. "Useless fools! You can’t even handle one Si Yuhuan!"
He threw a punch that seemed to crackle through the air, then charged forward like an unstoppable force.
"Fifth Brother, stop!" Si Yuhuan yelled.
So these ace mercenaries are Jian Yanjun’s men! The Jian Family truly has an abundance of talent; I underestimated them!
"Who are you calling Fifth Brother! You dare bully my little sister? You’re courting death!"
Jian Yanjun snorted, his nostrils flaring with rage. His muscles, practically vibrating with contained power, seemed ready to explode as he launched another punch. Si Yuhuan, caught off guard, barely managed to block it, staggering back several steps.
Such incredible strength! he thought, shaking his tingling, numb wrist.
"Not bad, kid. Your skills are impressive," Jian Yanjun said, then wasted no more words and charged like a madman. "If you hadn’t offended my sister, I might have actually enjoyed a proper fight with you and let you off."
His punches were incredibly powerful, whistling through the air. A single clean hit would undoubtedly cause serious injury.
Si Yuhuan knew he couldn’t match Jian Yanjun’s raw strength, so he focused on narrowly dodging. By relying on his agility and technique, he surprisingly managed to hold his own.
Jian Xi was nearing her limit. She was drenched in a cold sweat, and her legs nearly gave out from under her.
Wan Yu quickly stepped forward to support her. "Are you alright?" she asked urgently.
Jian Yanjun glanced back for a split second. Si Yuhuan seized the opening, lunging forward and landing a fierce kick. Jian Yanjun stumbled back several steps to create distance. Yan Qing shouted, "Director Si, go now!"
The ever-decisive Si Yuhuan didn’t hesitate. He spun around, smashed through the window, and from the high sixth floor, used a protruding ledge as a stepping stone to leap down.
"Get him!" Jian Xi shrieked, her eyes practically splitting with fury.
Jian Yanjun rushed to the window, but by the time he got there, Si Yuhuan had already commandeered a car and was speeding away.
"I’ll go after him." Jian Yanjun ground his teeth and immediately led his men in pursuit.
"You absolute bastard! Si Yuhuan, this isn’t over until one of us is dead!"
With those words, Jian Xi was so overcome with anger that she fainted.
Many voices around her called her name.
But she truly couldn’t endure it any longer.
Even as she lost consciousness, Jian Xi was still hatefully muttering Si Yuhuan’s name.
「...」
「Dimly...」
Jian Xi heard a doctor sigh near her ear. "If her body continues to sustain such damage, I’m afraid she may become infertile."
Tears streamed down her face.
Jian Sirun saw her awaken and quickly went to her side, supporting her. "Xixi?"
Jian Xi opened her eyes. "Fourth Brother, hasn’t Fifth Brother brought him back yet?"
"Si Yuhuan had clearly made arrangements; he vanished right after he got away. Your Fifth Brother has the entire city on lockdown, and Hilda has also issued an order to seal it. Everyone entering or leaving is being thoroughly checked. Don’t worry. As soon as we find him, we’ll bring my nephew back! With all of us uncles here, you have nothing to fear."
Jian Yanjun returned, sullen and dejected, his head hanging low in frustration.
I’ve handled countless missions in my life and never once failed. To think Si Yuhuan escaped right under my nose... It’s unbelievable! This is a stain on my reputation!
"Don’t worry, Little Sis. Now that your Fifth Brother is here, I won’t let that brat get away with this. I’ll hunt him down and drag our little nephew back, even if I have to kill him to do it!" Jian Yanjun declared.
Jian Xi nodded.
Still, she couldn’t entirely blame Fifth Brother. Si Yuhuan’s skills were formidable, exceptionally so. The Si Family had offended countless people, both openly and in secret, many of whom wanted him dead. Yet, he had survived unscathed all these years. He was definitely not someone to be underestimated.
"Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, I’m going back to our country!" Jian Xi declared.
"What?" the two brothers exclaimed almost in unison.
"I’m going back!" Jian Xi repeated, her eyes blazing with unprecedented determination and resolve. "I’ll find Si Yuhuan! I will get my child back from him!"
After getting the full story from Suoya, Jian Xi was certain: Si Yuhuan didn’t know she had been pregnant with twins! The doctor, under duress, had revealed her pregnancy but hadn’t disclosed the specifics. That, at least, was a small mercy in this whole ordeal. Her daughter was still with her, a precious consolation.
"Alright!" Jian Sirun agreed firmly.
Her child had been stolen; there was no longer any reason for the Jian Family to exercise restraint.
At Jian Xi’s decision, a fire ignited in her brothers.
Before they departed, Jian Xi had Yan Qing and the other captured bodyguards brought together.
Her Fifth Brother would deal with the rest, but Jian Xi intended to interrogate Yan Qing personally.
In a small, dark room, candlelight flickered, casting dancing shadows on walls spattered with bloodstains. The air was thick with the coppery scent of it. Various instruments of torture lay about, creating a horrifying scene.
"Madam," Yan Qing pleaded, "even if you beat me to death, I truly don’t know where Director Si went. I’m just an assistant. Surely, you wouldn’t kill me?"
Jian Xi sat opposite him, gazing dispassionately at Yan Qing, who lay beaten and bloodied on the floor.
"I won’t use torture to force you," Jian Xi said calmly. "I’ll just ask you one thing: has Si Yuhuan repeatedly come to Saint Seymour?"
How she longed to hear Yan Qing say no.
Yan Qing hesitated, then finally nodded. "Director Si wanted to see you."
"Good! Wonderful! That’s Si Yuhuan for you!" Jian Xi first laughed, a harsh sound, then tears of fury streamed down her face. She strode over and gripped Yan Qing’s chin tightly. "Tell me about every woman he has met in the last three months. Every single detail. Do that, and I’ll let you go."
