Chapter 223: Two Cannon Fodders in Domineering Literature 5
Li Ming reported to Muchen on the video call, "But when we found Su Qianxi's grandmother, she had already been admitted to a VTP single ward, cared for by two nurses, and Su Qianxi herself was not with her."
Wang Lei sighed and added, “I haven’t seen Su Qianxi since the old lady moved in here.
Moreover, Leng Yihan refused our foundation's assistance and turned our people away.
When we went to assess her, the old lady's assistance standards suddenly became 'unqualified'. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Mu Chen listened attentively, his brows still furrowed. After hanging up the phone, Mu Chen looked at Si Rong and said, "It seems that Si Rong has been imprisoned by Leng Yihan now."
"And Leng Yihan rejected the Ling family's aid fund. When my people went to contact him, the old lady's aid standards suddenly failed. Do you think that the plot consciousness is deliberately preventing us from contacting the core protagonist?"
Sirong was silent for a moment, then nodded. "That's possible. The power of the plot has always been trying to maintain the trajectory of the protagonist's fate, and when we try to break this trajectory, we will naturally encounter obstacles."
Muchen frowned: "Then what should we do? Continue to try to contact Su Qianxi?"
Sirong smiled slightly, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Arrange for me to return to China tomorrow, and we will act accordingly."
Mu Chen asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Sirong nodded, her tone full of confidence: "He has recovered almost as well as a normal person, but his physical condition is a little weaker, but it doesn't affect anything else."
Mu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but was still a little worried: "Okay, then you can take my plane back and feel more comfortable."
Sirong smiled and said, "Sure, it's just right for me to go back and see the original owner's family. When the plot officially starts, her family members won't be able to be contacted."
The next day, Sirong landed safely at the domestic airport on Muchen's private plane.
The plane taxied steadily on the runway, and Sirong looked out the window at the familiar scenery outside.
After the plane landed, Sirong sorted her clothes, picked up her belongings, and got off the plane. The airport's VIP channel had already been prepared for her, and Sirong, guided by the staff, quickly passed through security and customs. The whole process was very smooth.
However, just as she was getting into the car heading downtown, her phone suddenly vibrated. Sirong pulled it out and saw a text message from the male protagonist, Leng Yihan. Her brows furrowed slightly, and she felt a sense of wonder.
"How strange," Si Rong thought to herself, "I usually use this phone when I'm abroad, and I've never received any messages from him. And this time when I returned to China, I took Muchen's private plane, and all flight information is confidential, but he still sent a text message."
She clicked on the text message. The content was simple, just a daily greeting, without any mention of her returning home. Sirong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little comforted.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence," she thought to herself.
"Sirong, how are you doing recently? I heard that the weather is getting colder abroad, so please keep warm. If you need any help, please feel free to contact me. - Leng Yihan"
Sirong looked at the text message with a sneer on her face. She quickly blocked Leng Yihan's phone number.
After replying to the text message, Sirong put her phone back into her bag, leaned back in her seat, and began to think about her next plan of action.
She understood that this return was not only to help Su Qianxi and her grandmother, but also to break the shackles of the plot on them and regain control of their own destiny.
As for Leng Yihan, she will not contact him for the time being.
First, both she and Muchen felt that the male protagonist himself was seriously ill. Although the plot of the novel had a certain impact on him, this influence was obviously not decisive.
In the book's plot, Leng Yihan is portrayed as a stern, noble, and imposing figure. This character setting should be admirable, but as the story progresses, his behavior becomes increasingly disturbing.
Even when there is no plot to push the story forward, Leng Yihan's actions are chilling. When he was a child, he took pleasure in torturing small animals, and when he grew up, he turned this cruelty towards the heroine.
Is this behavior really just driven by the plot?
Is a person who can still commit such a terrible act in the absence of a plot twisted in nature? She feels that this is not just the plot of the novel at work, but the character himself has flaws that cannot be ignored.
Moreover, Leng Yihan's awareness of the plot is still very strong, as if he is always controlled by some invisible force.
Before she finds the pattern and understands the nature of this power, she decides to keep a certain distance from the male protagonist. This way, she can protect herself and avoid being inadvertently involved in a deeper conspiracy.
Sirong sat in the car, watching the rapidly receding cityscape outside the window, a flood of emotion welling up in her heart. In her memory, the original owner had been away from home for many years, and now, at last, she was on her way home. She took a deep breath of the domestic air, pulled out her phone, and called her mother, Lin Huixian.
"Mom, I've returned home." Sirong's voice was filled with excitement and calmness.
"Rongrong, you're back! Why didn't you tell mom in advance? Is everything going well?" On the other end of the phone, Lin Huixian's voice was full of concern and expectation.
"Yes, it went very smoothly. I'm heading to the manor in the suburbs now to see my grandfather first and then go home later."
"Okay, then be careful on the road. Grandpa will be very happy if he knows you are back." Lin Huixian gave a few instructions and hung up the phone.
The car sped all the way and soon drove into Sijia's manor.
Located on the outskirts of the city, this manor occupies a vast expanse, surrounded by lush greenery and a tranquil environment. Its architectural style evokes the classic Suzhou gardens, with white walls, green tiles, and upturned eaves, making it a unique setting in this northern city.
As soon as you enter the manor, you will be greeted by a picturesque view.
Pavilions and towers are arranged in an orderly manner, rockeries and flowing water are gurgling, and flowers, plants and trees complement each other. Every step brings a new scene, just like being in the water town of Jiangnan. As Sirong strolls among them, it seems as if she has returned to her childhood, and those carefree days emerge in her mind one by one.
Sirong's grandfather is already eighty years old this year, but he is in good spirits and in good health.
He exercises every day and walks, sits, or lies down without help, not even a cane. Grandfather is the backbone of the Si family, and his health and longevity are a blessing to the whole family.
When he heard the news that Sirong had returned, his grandfather was as happy as a child and immediately had someone take her to his study.
"Rongrong, my dear granddaughter, you are finally back!" Grandfather's voice was loud and full of joy.
"Grandpa, I'm back. Are you feeling well?" Sirong asked with concern.
"Good, very good! I heard that your heart disease has been cured. This is great news!" Grandfather smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a line.
"Yes, I'm completely healed now." Sirong replied with a smile.
After hearing this, the grandfather immediately asked the housekeeper to call everyone in the family and ask them to come back for dinner in the evening so that he could personally welcome Sirong.
