Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 409 The Yan Family's Retribution

Yan Lan returned to the apartment, and the family ate something simple. The two little ones couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep.

Qin Shi held the sleeping Xiao Xi in his arms, turned around to say goodbye to Yan Lan, and looked at her with deep eyes: "You don't need to worry about Si Chu. I will protect you and the child."

"I can protect myself, but you need to be careful."

Compared to me, the Qin family is a bigger and more conspicuous group, making them easier targets.

Yan Lan's tone was full of worry. She had already broken ties with Si Qin, and given the nature of the Si family mother and son, they would never let it go so easily and would definitely try to take revenge.

She didn't want to implicate the Qin family, but unexpectedly, Qin Shi disregarded the risks and willingly got involved like a moth to a flame.

Yan Lan knew very well that Qin Shi was doing this for his daughter, but his willingness to step forward still warmed her heart.

"I have my own way of dealing with it."

Also, the children shouldn't go to kindergarten for the next few days, just to be safe.

After Qin Shi left, Yan Lan immediately sat back down at her computer and began collecting various information about the Si family in preparation for future responses.

To her surprise, the first person to contact her was neither Si Qin nor anyone else from the Si family, but Yan Feng.

"Come to my house tomorrow."

Yan Feng's phone number had already been blocked by Yan Lan, so he actually used the family's housekeeper's phone to finally get in touch with her.

Yan Lan agreed without hesitation.

She wanted to see what Yan Feng was up to by contacting her now.

The next morning, Yan Lan gave Chaochao a few careful instructions before leaving the apartment.

But as soon as she stepped out of the apartment building, a group of people got out of several black cars parked not far away.

Those people were dressed in uniform black clothes and trousers, standing upright. Their attire was exactly the same as that of Si Chu's bodyguards whom I saw in the prefecture yesterday, and it was clear that they came with ill intentions.

Without making any unnecessary movements, they fixed their eyes on the apartment building Yan Lan had just left and quickly walked towards the entrance of the building.

Clearly, their target wasn't Yan Lan, but Chao Chao, who was left in the apartment. They planned to break in while Yan Lan was away and kidnap the child.

"This apartment looks dilapidated, the walls are peeling, and the door probably isn't sturdy either; it should be easy to open."

The man in black at the front glanced at the wooden door at the entrance of the stairwell, his tone full of disdain, as if taking over this place was just a piece of cake.

But when the group got to the door, no matter how hard they tried, whether they pushed or kicked it, or pried it open with tools, the seemingly ordinary security door remained completely unmoved, not even a tiny crack could be pried open.

"This is weird, is this door made of titanium alloy?"

One person muttered to himself while panting, while the other took out professional lock-picking tools from his bag and handed them to his companion.

"Try this, if that doesn't work, just smash it!"

The man in black holding the tool crouched down, and just as his fingertips touched the door lock, a sharp, crackling sound rang out, and a powerful electric current surged through his body via the tool.

His eyes widened suddenly, his body stiffened instantly, the tools in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and he fell straight down, his eyes rolling back, clearly stunned by the electric shock.

The others were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly, staring at their unconscious comrade on the ground, and then at the still motionless door, all of them dumbfounded.

No one expected that such a big secret was hidden in the door of this dilapidated apartment.

Inside the apartment, Chaochao was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, holding a laptop in her lap, the screen clearly showing the disheveled state of the people outside the door.

Seeing the person get stunned by the electric shock, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue, his voice full of schadenfreude: "Trying to break through Mom's security? Don't you know your own limitations? Maybe in your next life!"

No one knows that the security measures inside this seemingly dilapidated and inconspicuous little apartment are actually a hundred times stronger than those in the state capital.

The doors and windows are all made of the highest strength special materials, which can withstand even missile impacts.

The house is equipped with an independent generator and water purification system, so even if the water and power are cut off, normal life can still be maintained.

Even the inconspicuous green area on the rooftop conceals a small helipad, fully prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.

The men in black were at a loss. Looking at their accomplice who was still unconscious on the ground, they could only help each other up and slink away.

Directly below Yan Lan's floor, behind a hidden window, Cheng Fei was holding a high-powered telescope, staring dumbfounded at the scene, his eyes filled with shock.

He immediately pulled out his phone and dialed a number, his tone urgent and excited: "Mr. Qin! You're amazing! Someone really is harassing your wife! But..."

Qin Shi was still worried about Yan Lan and her son, so he specially ordered Cheng Fei to lead a group of people to guard the building.

Not long after Yan Lan returned to China, Qin Shi secretly rented the floor below hers, both to keep an eye on her discreetly and to respond to any emergencies immediately.

After a pause, Cheng Fei immediately recounted to Qin Shi, with great enthusiasm, how the men in black had been humiliated.

Cheng Fei's tone was full of admiration: "You didn't see it, but at first those people complained that the apartment was dilapidated, but they couldn't pry open the door, and when they tried to unlock it, they were electrocuted. It was so satisfying!"

I always thought my sister-in-law was gentle and refined, but I never expected her to be so capable.

What do you call that? Driving them away without shedding a drop of blood!

As Qin Shi listened to Cheng Fei's description over the phone, the scene from yesterday involuntarily flashed through his mind.

The woman's speed, ruthlessness, and precision when she made her move were completely different from her usual self.

He sighed inwardly, realizing that not only Cheng Fei, but even he himself had never truly understood Yan Lan…

Several years later, Yan Lan stepped into the Yan family's gate again.

Before I could even see what the living room looked like, a sharp argument rang out, full of tension.

"Yan Feng, tell me the truth! Have you done anything to betray me?"

Madam Yan's voice was choked with sobs, yet it still conveyed an unyielding anger.

"Have you had enough? We've been arguing since last night. Aren't you tired? I'm exhausted!"

Yan Feng's voice was full of impatience. He sat on the sofa, his face so gloomy it could drip water, and he was pinching his brow with one hand, clearly exhausted from the noise.

Yan Lan looked up and saw that the exquisite porcelain tea set was broken all over the living room floor, with tea and tea leaves splashed everywhere.

Mrs. Yan sat on the single sofa opposite, her hair disheveled, her eyes bloodshot, and her face extremely haggard, clearly having suffered a lot that night.

The couple has been arguing non-stop since they returned yesterday, and things have gotten really heated.

In the corner, Yan Xue curled up on the sofa, staring blankly at the broken pieces on the ground, her eyes empty and devoid of any emotion.

She even felt a bit of laughable envy; at least her parents could still argue, but what about Liu Jinnian?

He wouldn't even meet her, let alone argue with her. Now he's completely cut off all contact with her, leaving her no chance to vent her frustrations.

"Miss, you are back."

The aunt who opened the door greeted him softly, breaking the tense atmosphere.

But as soon as Yan Lan stepped across the threshold, Yan Xue jumped up from the sofa like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Her eyes were full of hostility as she shrieked, "What are you doing back here! You're not welcome here!"

"I asked her to come."

Yan Feng interrupted Yan Xue's questioning, a slight glint in his eyes.

He was actually just following the secretary-general's orders. Yan Lan had just offended that person, so he was just going with the flow and waiting to see her fall.

Ignoring Yan Xue's hostility, Yan Lan's gaze fell directly on Yan Feng. "I came to you to ask you one last question: besides that prescription, what else did you take from my mother?"

After saying that, she glanced at the three people in the living room, clearly taking in Yan Feng's scheming, Madam Yan's wariness, and Yan Xue's resentment.

How could she not see through Yan Feng's sinister intentions?

When she left home, her phone was connected to the apartment building's security system. She received a real-time alert as soon as the group of men in black arrived at her door.

Given Chaochao's mischievous nature and the security measures in the apartment, those people should have given up long ago, allowing her to stay here and get to the bottom of what happened back then.

She slightly turned aside, avoiding the scattered teaware shards on the floor, her expression calm and unperturbed as she walked straight to the empty sofa and sat down.

The aunt quickly brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Yan Lan. Yan Lan took a small sip of tea, her movements calm and unhurried.

Yan Lan's calm demeanor angered Madam Yan, who suddenly raised her voice and pointed at Yan Lan, cursing, "What the hell are you talking about!"

"Yan Lan, you ungrateful wretch! You've been raised in our Yan family for so many years, eating our food and using our things. Now that you've grown up, you dare come back asking for things? You're as shameless as your mother!"

No sooner had Madam Yan finished speaking than Yan Lan suddenly slammed the teacup in her hand forward. The scalding tea splashed squarely onto Madam Yan's face.

"what!"

Caught off guard, Madam Yan let out a sharp scream and frantically wiped her face.

Her makeup was completely ruined by the tea, revealing her haggard, sallow skin underneath, with even the fine lines around her eyes clearly visible.

"Your breath stinks, go wash it properly."

Yan Lan put down her empty glass, her tone still indifferent, but her eyes were devoid of any warmth.

"You bitch! How dare you cause trouble in my house!"

Upon seeing this, Yan Xue was instantly consumed by rage and pounced on Yan Lan like a crazed little beast, reaching out to grab Yan Lan's face.

But as soon as she got close, Yan Lan suddenly turned to the side and precisely grabbed her wrist, the force so great that Yan Xue cried out in pain.

The next second, Yan Lan flipped her wrist and twisted Yan Xue, pressing her against the coffee table next to her. The cold tabletop pressed against Yan Xue's cheek, instantly leaving her powerless to resist.

“If you dare to utter another word,” Yan Lan leaned down, her voice low, and pointed to the broken teaware on the ground with her other finger, “I wouldn’t mind using those pieces to shut you up.”

The aura emanating from her was so powerful and chilling that it made Yan Xue tremble with fear, forgetting even to cry out.

Yan Feng and his wife were also stunned, their faces turning pale.

This was not the docile and easily bullied Yan Lan they remembered at all.

"Yan Lan! You trespassed on someone's property and assaulted them! Dad, call the police! Arrest her!"

Yan Xue could only shout at the top of her lungs, begging Yan Feng to save her.

Yan Feng finally came to his senses. "Yan Lan! Release Xiao Xue right now! Otherwise, I'll call the police right now and you'll regret it!"

But no sooner had he finished speaking than the doorbell rang, breaking the silence in the living room.

The aunt rushed to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, several people in uniform walked in, looking serious and holding identification documents.

“We are from the supervisory department,” the leading female official said, flashing her badge. Her gaze fell directly on Yan Feng, her tone stern and uncompromising.

"We have received a tip and are in charge of investigating Yan Feng's suspected embezzlement and bribery case. Please come with us for further investigation."

"W-what?"

Yan Feng was struck dumb, his face instantly turning from deathly pale to ashen, his legs went weak, and he plopped down on the sofa.

He never expected that the people from the supervisory department would come knocking on his door at this exact moment!

Yan Feng was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly forced himself to calm down, frantically trying to reassure himself.

Why is he panicking?

This is definitely just a routine investigation; it won't cause any trouble!

He has the powerful backing of the Secretary-General of the relevant department.

All the corrupt transactions he handled over the years were cash transactions conducted behind closed doors, without any accounting records or receipts. How could the relevant departments possibly find any clues?

Yan Feng composed himself, stood up with feigned composure, frowned at the people from the supervisory department, and spoke with a hint of self-righteousness.

"Comrades, are you mistaken? I, Yan Feng, have always been law-abiding and honest. How could I be suspected of embezzlement and bribery? Someone must be making a malicious report..."

Before he could finish speaking, the leading female official interrupted him expressionlessly, then pulled a piece of paper with a bright red seal from her briefcase and handed it to him in a cold voice.

"Whether there's a mistake or not, we'll find out after checking. This is a search warrant. We are now legally sealing off your residence and conducting a full search. Please cooperate and do not obstruct official business."

Upon seeing the search warrant with the official seal clearly printed on it, Yan Feng's face instantly drained of color, and his previous confidence vanished completely.

It's over! Yan Feng's mind went blank for a moment, and only these two words remained.

The cash he had hidden in the secret compartment of the study and the hidden compartment of the wardrobe, as well as the gold, securities, and valuable jewelry in the safe, which he hadn't had time to move and stored away, were all still in this house!

"Wait a minute! Just wait!"

Yan Feng's voice trembled with anxiety as he reached for his phone in his pocket. "I need to make a call first. There must be some misunderstanding!" He was desperate to get help from Si Chu. If the Si family was willing to help, they might be able to suppress the matter.

But as soon as he touched his phone, the inspectors quickly stepped forward, grabbed his wrist, and acted swiftly and decisively.

"Sorry, your communication devices need to be seized in accordance with the law during the investigation. Please cooperate."

Before he could finish speaking, Yan Feng's phone was taken away and placed into a sealed evidence bag, leaving him no chance to make a call.

Madam Yan and Yan Xue, who were standing to the side, were completely dumbfounded and stood there unable to move.

As Madam Yan watched the officials begin affixing seals to the living room, tears suddenly streamed down her face, but she dared not even cry out loud.

Yan Xue lost her earlier arrogance; her face turned pale, and her eyes were filled with panic.

They never imagined that their perfectly good home would be suddenly sealed off, and that Yan Feng would be taken away for investigation.

The Yan family is finished!
