Chapter 676: Your Little Uncle Is Holding You
Chu Yin sank down, but luckily someone grabbed her arm in time.
Her body was already paralyzed with fear, and she couldn't muster any strength.
Like a weather doll, she swayed in the wind outside the balcony.
She looked up at Sang Li, who was holding her.
His body was more than halfway out beyond the railing, his cheeks were flushed red.
"Hold on tight."
Chu Yin helplessly said, "I can't use any strength. If this continues, I'll pull you down too. Why don't you let go of me? Jumping into the sea shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"At this height, you'll disappear beneath the sea within seconds."
"Ah? I don't want to die; I haven't slept with you yet."
"..."
"Really."
Chu Yin gritted her teeth and used all her strength, but she had already exhausted it earlier.
Just as Sang Li was about to be pulled down by her, another pair of hands appeared by the railing and helped to pull her up together.
Surviving the ordeal, Chu Yin looked at her savior.
"Assistant Zhou! Thank goodness for you!"
"I thought you were going to confess, so I deliberately left you a few seconds, but your mind was full of absurd ideas."
Zhou Zhao patted the dust off his body.
Chu Yin glared at him, "I'll go back and tell them you played dead."
Zhou Zhao immediately begged, "Don't, don't, I'll treat you all to dinner when we get back."
"That's more like it."
Chu Yin smiled, then awkwardly glanced at Sang Li.
"Um... where's Second Master Bai?"
"He ran away, but he won't escape for long," Sang Li said.
Chu Yin nodded, immediately thinking of Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen.
"Where's Zhiyi? Second Master Bai just said Third Young Master is dead? What's going on?"
"They're all fine. They should be on their way back with evidence now."
Sang Li looked at Fang Sisi lying on the ground.
Fang Sisi was utterly defeated and pale gray.
She knew everything was over.
Chu Yin glanced at her, then turned her gaze away.
Once she regained her strength, she hurriedly brought out the hiding siblings.
Zhou Zhao joked, "I've only been gone for a short while, and you already have kids. Who did you have them with?"
Sang Li turned to look at him.
Zhou Zhao chuckled, "I didn't mean it that way."
"But seriously, who are they?"
Chu Yin laughed, "You're asking me? I don't know either, but Old Mr. Gong entrusted Gong Yao to take care of them."
In the second half of her sentence, her voice was vague.
However, Sang Li and Zhou Zhao understood. They were both surprised and shared Chu Yin's exact thoughts.
Sang Li, "Huh?"
Zhou Zhao, "The old man hasn't rested all these years, huh? He said there was a population decline, but isn't this a birth explosion?"
"Shh! They're very smart kids. It's bad if they get psychological trauma," Chu Yin interrupted.
Jian Xi looked at the three, seemingly understanding their confusion.
"When you see our uncle, you'll understand."
Chu Yin curiously asked, "Who exactly is your uncle?"
"Uncle is uncle."
"..."
They were baffled.
Sang Li's phone vibrated a few times, and he glanced at the messages.
"Third Young Master and the others are back. Let's go meet up."
"Okay."
Chu Yin nodded, picking up Siyi and holding Jian Xi's hand.
Zhou Zhao pulled up the distraught Fang Sisi.
...
Downstairs.
As Chu Yin entered the hall, she saw Second Master Bai being escorted back by the police.
He looked at the safe group with such hatred that his teeth were about to break.
Seeing the children next to Chu Yin, he displayed a strange smile.
Zhou Zhao suspiciously asked, "Why is he smiling? He'll face multiple charges, either a death sentence or never getting out."
Sang Li was puzzled too, his gaze falling on the children.
Chu Yin had a sudden realization.
"Could it be..."
Before she finished speaking, Lin Zhiyi's voice came from not far away.
"Chu Yin! Siyi! Jian Xi!"
Chu Yin, "Zhiyi!"
Siyi, "Aunt!"
Jian Xi, "Uncle?"
Huh?
Lin Zhiyi was stunned in front of them.
"Your uncle is here too? Who's that?"
Siyi bypassed Lin Zhiyi and ran towards a certain direction.
"Uncle! Uncle!"
Everyone was stunned, raising their eyes to look along.
Only to see Siyi jump into... Gong Chen's arms.
"..."
Everyone went silent.
Chu Yin walked to Lin Zhiyi's side, "Oh no... this messes up the family hierarchy."
Lin Zhiyi returned to her senses, nudging Chu Yin with her elbow.
She was quite shocked too; having been mysterious for so long, the young uncle of the twins turned out to be Gong Chen.
However, she'd lived in the Gong Family for so many years and had never heard of anyone having twins.
From their relationship, they seemed very close to Gong Chen.
At this moment, Zhou Zhao stepped forward with a puzzled expression.
"Not the old man's kids? Then why did he target the children?"
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi's face slightly changed, recalling how Jian Xi and Siyi were captured by Gong Yao.
While thinking, Gong Chen approached with the two children.
"Zhiyi, they told me to thank you and Chu Yin for taking care of them."
"Who are they..."
"They're my uncle's kids, Jian Xi and Jiang Siyi. They've been living abroad and planned to settle down after New Year's. Unexpectedly, they returned early to give me a surprise, only to be treated like piglets by the Bai Family."
Gong Chen pinched the little girl's cheek in his arms.
Evidently misunderstanding why the Bai Family captured the twins, thinking it was for money.
Lin Zhiyi exchanged glances with those around her, saving certain topics for later.
Jiang Siyi puffed her cheeks, "Uncle, I'm not a piglet."
After speaking, she looked at Lin Zhiyi.
"Aunt, this is the uncle I've wanted to introduce to you. What do you think? He's better than your uncle, right?"
"Your uncle?"
Gong Chen slowly repeated, looking at Lin Zhiyi with raised eyebrows.
Lin Zhiyi blushed, unsure what to say.
The people around laughed.
Chu Yin teased, "Your uncle is holding you now. Why call her aunt? Call her sister!"
Jiang Siyi was innocent and didn't think much.
After all, these two were beautiful, calling them sisters wasn't a loss.
"Sis... um."
Jiang Siyi looked puzzled at her uncle covering her mouth.
"Don't call me that."
"Why, Uncle?"
"If you want your uncle to be a bachelor for life, keep calling me that," Gong Chen warned.
Jiang Siyi looked at Gong Chen and then at Lin Zhiyi.
"Uncle, you finally don't like that little girl in your family anymore? You used to say you wanted her to be my aunt..."
Jiang Siyi's mouth was covered again.
Lin Zhiyi hadn't anticipated Gong Chen saying such things behind her back.
Chu Yin chuckled to the side, "Didn't think the Third Young Master was quite the romantic."
Lin Zhiyi's face grew even hotter.
Fortunately, the police came over.
"Excuse me, we need you to cooperate with a statement."
"Alright."
Everyone was separated and led into a room to give their statements.
The two children were accompanied by Gong Chen.
When Lin Zhiyi and Chu Yin came out, it was already pitch black outside.
Both were hungry and tired, and took the room keys from the police to rest.
Entering the elevator.
Chu Yin remarked tiredly, "Zhiyi, earlier Second Master Bai kept trying to grab the twins to save himself."
Lin Zhiyi rubbed her head, deep in thought.
"Third Young Master said his uncle's family was planning to settle in the country. Their family's business almost collapsed due to the old man's schemes back then. Coming back now isn't just for settling; the twins are the Jiang Family's direct heirs. If something happened, it would be another blow to the Jiang Family."
"The old man is truly terrifying, calculating the Bai Family while simultaneously exploiting them. If the twins ended up dying ambiguously, the blame would land on the Bai Family. And you... should you tell the Third Young Master?"
