Reborn: The Godfather Has Fallen For Me

Chapter 55: His Trap

Shen Xiaoxiao touched the bracelet on her wrist thoughtfully. Yan Kuan glanced at the little thing that had become obedient and no longer looked like a hedgehog. He turned his head away in satisfaction.

He would give her enough time to think about it carefully. If he pushed her too hard, it would not be fun. However, he had to admit that although he was very angry at the little thing’s hidden blade… However, he was also very satisfied with her unwavering stance on his side tonight. It seemed that this little thing was becoming more and more dependent on him. This feeling was really great.

“I want to see Qian Weitang.”

When she got off the car, Shen Xiaoxiao finally said something.

Yan Kuan glanced at her and looked at her wearing thin clothes. He frowned slightly and said, “Even if you want to see him, you have to change your clothes. Aren’t your thin arms and legs cold? Drink some hot milk and rest for a day. I’ll take you there.”

Just like that, Yan Kuan always showed his attentiveness in these neglected details. Every time Shen Xiaoxiao was attracted to Yan Kuan, she was no exception.

Even though she was still afraid of this man just now, but now, seeing this man being so attentive and caring, her heart would skip a beat, making her unable to control herself.

However, reason was also pulling at her. She did not dare to sink into it, nor could she sink into it. When would she be able to return to the country, and when would she be able to walk back to the world that belonged to her? Instead of staying here and being a man’s exclusive property, being a man’s ‘pet’!

…

Shen Xiaoxiao had never known that there was darkness in this basement. The clean and tidy basement that she had seen before was vastly different from this dark prison that was filled with moisture and mold.

Yan Kuan walked in front of her. She could not see clearly what kind of expression this man had when he looked at everything here.

She said that she wanted to use Qian Weitang to exchange with him, and the thing she wanted to exchange was that Black Ganoderma mushroom.

However, she did not think that Yan Kuan would care so much that he even personally accompanied her down here.

A somewhat dispirited and listless man squatted in a corner. His clothes had been pulled clean. Even though the light was dim, she could clearly see that he was not wearing anything. Could it be that the ledger was really not on him?

“I want to talk to him alone,” Shen Xiaoxiao said to Yan Kuan in front of her.

Yan Kuan glanced at her and nodded. “Ten minutes.”

Shen Xiaoxiao nodded and slowly walked in. She did not expect Yan Kuan to be so easy to talk to today. It was rare.

Perhaps because there was an outsider entering, the creaking sound of the iron door rang out, causing a ray of light to shine in the dark room.

“Who is it?”

A hoarse voice rang out as Shen Xiaoxiao walked in. The iron door was wide open, with no intention of closing.

Looking at this dejected and dispirited former high official of China who was squatting in a corner, a strange feeling arose in Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart.

Once upon a time, she had been locked up in such a place for ten years. Now, looking at Qian Weitang like this, she actually felt a trace of sympathy. Yes, a trace of sympathy.

She could almost imagine that this person would live here for a very long time. He would be locked up for a very long time. From then on, he would have no fate with sunlight, no fate with clear air, and no fate with his own kind.

Accompanying him was this 10-square-meter prison cell. It was extremely sturdy, but it was also wrapped with layers of soft bags, making one wish to die.

“It’s you? The things were all taken by you. You got what you wanted. What are you still doing here?”

This sentence was like a landmine. Shen Xiaoxiao did not expect Qian Weitang to say such a sentence. What did he mean by ‘everything was taken’? What did he mean by ‘got what you wanted’?

“Now that I’m staying in this place, no one should want my life, right? Hahahaha, running around… I didn’t expect to end up like this. Hahaha, how pathetic, how laughable.”

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Qian Weitang, who had fallen into a desperate situation. She clenched her fists and did not say anything else. She turned around and walked out of the dark prison.

Yan Kuan looked at the people in the monitoring room. He did not say a word from the beginning to the end. However, Qian Weitang had said everything he wanted to say thoroughly. He turned his head and said to the hidden guard behind him, “Check those things carefully. The things that I want are definitely in the things that Qian Weitang carries with him.”

“Boss, we haven’t found anything for months. I didn’t expect him to tell Little Oriental Loli everything. Do they know each other? Why is Qian Weitang suddenly so cooperative?”

Yun Qi, who was in charge of interrogation and criminal law, asked the question in his mind. He looked at Yan Kuan with a hint of confusion and inquiry.

Only Yan Kuan knew that the only time Vivian had contact with Qian Weitang was last night, when her back was facing him.

In less than 20 minutes, Vivian had easily pried open the thing that Qian Weitang refused to let go of.

What did they say? What did Vivian say when her back was facing him that made Qian Weitang look so terrified?

Walking in the corridor, Shen Xiaoxiao remained silent. She did not ask where Qian Weitang’s belongings were, nor did she ask what Yan Kuan was going to do with Qian Weitang.

She needed some time to calm down, because she needed to figure out if her deal with Yan Kuan was just her wishful thinking from the beginning. Yan Kuan’s way of doing things seemed to be somewhat different from how he handed Qian Weitang over so readily.

The long dark basement, the flickering lights above her head, and the damp, musty smell that could be smelled everywhere made Shen Xiaoxiao’s mind clear in an instant.

The hidden guard leading the way was clear and familiar as he prepared to walk to the door. Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at him and said, “Where’s the surveillance room? Take me to see Yan Kuan.”

The hidden guard was stunned. He didn’t expect this Little Oriental Loli to be so powerful. She directly told him where the Boss was. How did she know?

“Let’s go. There’s no need to be suspicious. Don’t tell me that there were no surveillance cameras in that room. I don’t believe it.”

The hidden guard choked. In the end, he helplessly nodded at this young lady who was specially instructed by the higher-ups to be taken good care of. He led her step by step to another exit.

The upstairs and downstairs were two distinct worlds. This place was spacious and bright. Even though it was already late at night, it was still bright into the day.

However, no matter how bright this place was, it could not shine into Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart. She only felt that her heart was growing more and more desolate.

She could be kind, but these things should have been thrown away in her previous life long ago and should not have been preserved.

She could be simple, but she definitely could not be simple to the point of stupidity. If she still did not know the truth by now, then she, Shen Xiaoxiao, would really have lived another life in vain.

From the beginning when she had agreed to make a deal with him to the present, Yan Kuan had planned everything step by step. She might not be able to figure out what he wanted, but Qian Weitang was definitely not simply given to her to make a deal.

Qian Weitang had been Yan Kuan’s target since the beginning of the Dark Empire, and she was just an unintentional roadblock.

Now, she, the roadblock, had accidentally exposed what should have been hers to the world.

Perhaps, at this moment, they were rummaging through the surveillance room for the things that had been pulled from Qian Weitang’s body, or perhaps the ledger had already been found.

In his previous life, Qian Weitang had been shot and killed in Country M, and the ledger’s whereabouts were unknown. Perhaps it had fallen into Yan Kuan’s hands.

But why did Yan Kuan want the ledger? Hadn’t he always been active abroad? Was this account book related to domestic matters, or was it related to the Pei family, Qian Weitang, or even some high-level contacts in China?

Why did Yan Kuan want this? Was there something that attracted Yan Kuan? Could it be the Ouyang family? The number one family in China? The Ouyang aristocrat family?

Could it be what she had guessed? Could it be?
