The Scumbag Attackers Regretted It Deeply After My Death - Chapter 40

Yao Guangming had not yet been found. Qi Lanqing was somewhat worried about the elderly man; after all, in her heart, she had already regarded Yao Guangming as her father-in-law.

Yao Zhenzhen paused for a moment, then looked up deeply at Qi Lanqing. “You seem very worried about my father?”

“Of course,” Qi Lanqing nodded vigorously, her expression quite earnest. She said, “Since you were willing to bring me to see your father, I understand your intentions. From now on, your father is my father. Zhenzhen, I will help you find your father’s whereabouts.”

As she spoke, she tightly gripped Yao Zhenzhen’s hand, which was resting on her lap.

Yao Zhenzhen: “…”

She lowered her eyes slightly, her voice trembling. “Thank you, Lanqing. If you weren’t here with me today, I really wouldn’t know what to do.”

“I will stay by your side from now on, through thick and thin.”

Meeting Qi Lanqing’s gaze, which was filled with love, Yao Zhenzhen’s eyes flickered, and she guiltily looked away. She had brought Qi Lanqing to the hospital with the intention of letting her misunderstand; since Yao Guangming was unconscious, Yao Zhenzhen wasn’t afraid of her seeing him. Her father wouldn’t know anyway.

This way, Qi Lanqing would think that she loved her too, and would treat her even better in the future, yielding to her every whim.

Such a “two birds with one stone” opportunity was something Yao Zhenzhen couldn’t pass up. However, she hadn’t expected this accident—her father had suddenly disappeared!

Yao Zhenzhen withdrew her hand. Qi Lanqing was slightly taken aback but remained calm.

“I’ll call my mom first to tell her about Dad’s disappearance and see if she has any suggestions.”

Because her caregiver pass had been stolen, the hospital staff ignored her, so she had to find another way.

Qi Lanqing nodded slightly, her dim eyes brightening again. She was sinking deeper into the illusion of love Yao Zhenzhen had constructed for her, completely failing to notice that Yao Zhenzhen had pulled away her right hand—Yao Zhenzhen could have easily used her left hand to make the call.

Yao Zhenzhen dialed Zheng Xiulan’s number. After a while, the call connected, and the clattering sound of mahjong tiles came through the speaker.

“Hello? Zhenzhen, what do you want?”

“Two dots!”

“Don’t touch that, Kong!”

Yao Zhenzhen: “…”

She glanced at Qi Lanqing beside her and silently lowered the volume, terrified that Qi Lanqing would find out her mother was playing mahjong!

Yao Zhenzhen took a deep breath, suppressing her anger. What was wrong with her mother? Her father was lying in a hospital bed with his life hanging in the balance, and her mother was secretly playing mahjong at home!?

Even as her daughter, she couldn’t help but feel angry. Zheng Xiulan seemed a bit guilty; she cleared her throat, told her fellow players to be quiet, and then said with a smile, “Zhenzhen, I’m just…”

Before Zheng Xiulan could finish, Yao Zhenzhen interrupted coldly.

“Dad is missing. What do we do now?”

“What?!”

Zheng Xiulan froze for a few seconds, then suddenly raised her voice, her tone filled with disbelief!

“Your dad was fine in the hospital, how could he suddenly…”

“I went to see Dad today. Around 9:30 PM, he was still in bed. I felt unwell and went to find a doctor. It took less than ten minutes. When I came back, only Yao Anna was in the room, and Dad was gone.”

“What was that little b*tch doing at the hospital?!”

At the mention of Yao Anna, Zheng Xiulan’s teeth itched with hatred. She slammed a mahjong tile onto the table. “Eight Wan!”

“Kong!”

“You’re calling a Kong on an Eight Wan? Old Li, how do you have so many Kongs??”

Zheng Xiulan’s exasperated voice came through the phone. She didn’t forget to reply to Yao Zhenzhen, “Your dad’s disappearance definitely has something to do with that little b*tch!”

Yao Zhenzhen’s brows furrowed, her mind in a mess. She resisted the urge to hang up and said deeply, “I don’t think it has anything to do with her. Yao Anna is also looking for Dad, and she seemed very anxious.”

“Heh, Zhenzhen, have you forgotten how that b*tch treated your dad, your mom, and you? First, she stole your lead role, then she was disrespectful to me, and finally, she aggravated your dad’s heart condition. You’re still being attacked by netizens. You can know a person’s face but not their heart; Yao Anna isn’t the same girl we used to manipulate!”

“Think about it. Why did your dad go missing the moment she appeared? I’m certain this is Yao Anna’s scheme! She’s doing this to confuse us, to make us think his disappearance has nothing to do with her.”

“Alright, Mom is playing mahjong. Hurry up and contact President Jiang. If she steps in, that b*tch Yao Anna won’t be able to make any more waves. Go, go, Mom’s hanging up now.”

As soon as she finished, Zheng Xiulan hung up immediately. The speed was incredible.

Yao Zhenzhen: “…”

Listening to Zheng Xiulan’s analysis, Yao Zhenzhen actually felt it made sense. Yao Anna’s sudden appearance at the hospital was strange, and why would she be so desperate to find their father?

Moreover, Yao Anna had stealthily taken her caregiver pass.

If all these mysteries were explained as Yao Anna acting, it became logical.

Yao Zhenzhen’s eyes instantly became sinister, her fists clenched tight.

Yao Anna, that btch, she actually dared to deceive me!*

If Zheng Xiulan hadn’t enlightened her, she might still be in the dark.

Thinking of this, Yao Zhenzhen immediately opened WeChat and sent a message to her assistant:

[Start the operation!]

Seeing that Yao Zhenzhen had finally finished the call, Qi Lanqing looked worried.

“How is it? What did Auntie say?”

Yao Zhenzhen’s expression was grim. She recounted Zheng Xiulan’s analysis to the Alpha.

Qi Lanqing’s brow furrowed, her eyes showing a hint of doubt. She hesitated for a moment and asked, “Zhenzhen, do you really feel that way? Do you really think your sister…”

“She is not my sister!” Yao Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, spitting out the words with hatred. “She doesn’t deserve to be!”

Perhaps because the woman’s gaze was too fierce, Qi Lanqing was stunned for a moment. She pursed her lips and said nothing.

The woman hated Yao Anna so much that Yao Zhenzhen looked like she wanted to kill her at the mere mention of her name. However, she quickly recovered, returning to her initial “weak little white flower” persona. With tears in her eyes, she reached out and grabbed Qi Lanqing’s hand, sobbing.

“Lanqing, you just said my father is your father, and you said you would help me find him…”

“Do those words… still count…?”

Faced with a fragile, helpless lover, no Alpha could refuse a plea for help. Qi Lanqing was no exception. With a firm expression, she squeezed Yao Zhenzhen’s soft hand.

“Of course. Don’t worry, I will definitely help you find your father’s whereabouts!”

“Lanqing, you’re so kind…”

Yao Zhenzhen leaned against Qi Lanqing’s shoulder. Looking at the bird-like, submissive Yao Zhenzhen, Qi Lanqing’s heart beat powerfully!

What she couldn’t see was that Yao Zhenzhen’s eyes looked as if they were dipped in poison; a single glance would make one’s blood run cold!

Luoyun Villa

A black car approached from a distance and stopped at the main gate. From the outside, the villa Jiang Nian’an had spent hundreds of millions to build was solemn, grand, and extremely luxurious. At the entrance was a long driveway lined with ginkgo trees, their red leaves falling with the wind—a scene of romantic beauty.

At the end of the path was a fountain decorated in a classic, elegant style. Unlike others, the statues atop the fountain were not made of stone; they were rectangular, like cards, crafted entirely from pure gold, and engraved with the character “Jiang”!

It was unique and fully displayed the owner’s immense wealth.

The four-story European-style villa, painted entirely white, looked like an ancient castle, imposing and majestic.

Just glancing at it from afar, Yao Ling was shocked by the sheer scale and luxury of Luoyun Villa. She suddenly thought of the melodramatic novels she had recently read; in her eyes, the “golden cages” used to imprison female protagonists were nothing compared to this!

Seeing an unfamiliar vehicle, a bodyguard guarding the gate walked over with an electric baton and cautiously tapped on the driver’s window.

“This is a private villa. No unauthorized persons allowed!”

The window slowly rolled down. Yao Anna looked at the fierce bodyguard and said calmly, “I’m looking for someone.”

Meeting the woman’s exquisite and beautiful face, the bodyguard froze for two full seconds before clearing his throat, his attitude slightly better than before.

“Looking for someone? I suggest you leave quickly. This is Jiang family territory, and the person you’re looking for isn’t here…”

The moment he heard “looking for someone,” the bodyguard became alert.

In fact, the renovation of Luoyun Villa had only recently been completed. As the owner, Jiang Nian’an didn’t come here often, but she had been visiting more frequently in the past two days—especially tonight. An hour ago, Jiang Nian’an had specifically instructed that no outsiders be allowed near the villa.

And now, shortly after that instruction, a beautiful Omega had arrived claiming to be looking for someone.

On the surface, Yao Anna remained calm and composed, but her fingertips on the steering wheel had turned white from gripping it too hard.

She interrupted him, “I’m looking for Jiang Nian’an.”

Hearing this, the bodyguard’s expression changed. His gaze toward Yao Anna became even more suspicious and guarded as he tightened his grip on the electric baton. “Who exactly are you?”

Everyone in the capital knew that the owner of Luoyun Villa was Jiang Nian’an. Since its construction, many had come out of curiosity—some just to see how luxurious it was, others hoping to meet the owner.

However, the project was massive, taking three years to build, followed by more time for decoration and development. Since Jiang Nian’an had never visited during that time, those scheming Omegas eventually stopped appearing.

Jiang Nian’an’s first visit was late last night, yet this Omega had shown up the very next day as if she had caught wind of it. The guards here were veterans who had served Jiang Nian’an for seven or eight years.

Even if the bodyguard was momentarily dazed by the Omega’s beauty, he knew which was more important: his job or a pretty face!

The guard stared intensely at the beautiful woman, his expression stern. His intuition told him that this woman might be dangerous!

Sitting in the passenger seat, Yao Ling saw how difficult it was even to get through the front gate and felt a surge of cowardice. She looked at Yao Anna’s profile with worry, her heart filled with unease.

Jiang Nian’an was so powerful and wealthy; the nickname “Number One Tycoon of the Capital” wasn’t for nothing. Could Sister Anna really rescue the teacher and the others from this dragon’s den?

Yao Ling felt it was a long shot.
