191: Dad, I'm in trouble!
The next day, after breakfast, Zhang Fan and Jiang Shengnan prepared to leave.
However, Teacher Jiang hugged her two sons, unwilling to let go for a long time.
She wanted to cry but didn't dare, fearing her two sons would notice, so she could only hold them tightly, one on each side.
She didn't know if she would return alive after leaving, and while she didn't fear death, she couldn't bear to leave her two sons!
But in the end, Jiang Shengnan couldn't hold back, and tears streamed down her face.
"Tie Dan, be good! Daddy and Mommy will be back after running some errands!"
"And Tie Chui, Mommy will bring you delicious treats when she comes back!"
"You two must be good, listen to the aunties, Daddy and Mommy will be back very soon! Be good! Mommy loves you…"
Jiang Shengnan hugged one then the other, unable to get enough of holding them.
After an ordeal that lasted for over half an hour, Teacher Jiang finally steeled her heart and ran out, crying loudly.
Zhang Fan gave instructions to the two confinement nannies and then teleported out after her.
Jiang Shengnan dared not stop, driving her flying car with the accelerator pressed to the floor, flying towards the Wilderness Area at top speed.
She dared not stop, afraid that if she did, she wouldn't be able to bear leaving her two children.
She didn't stop until she was outside the Satellite City, where Jiang Shengnan finally pulled over and then collapsed into Zhang Fan's arms, wailing:
"Xiao Fan, I can't bear to leave Tie Chui and Tie Dan. What if the tribulation fails…? They're still so young, what will happen to them?"
Jiang Shengnan was crying uncontrollably.
"Teacher Jiang, don't worry, I'm here, everything will be fine!"
Zhang Fan gently patted her back, comforting her, "Be good! Don't cry! Trust me, you will definitely succeed in transcending the tribulation!"
Under Zhang Fan's soothing, Jiang Shengnan gradually calmed down.
Zhang Fan then took her about a hundred kilometers from the Base City, found a hilltop, and prepared for her tribulation.
Zhang Fan deployed a hundred Shadow Clones, completely encircling a 10-kilometer radius.
Teacher Jiang adjusted her state, then released her Qi Core to attract the thunderclouds.
The lightning continuously gathered, and finally, the first heavenly lightning bolt struck down with a roar.
The first stage went very smoothly; the negative charges contained within the Qi Core were continuously neutralized under the bombardment of the heavenly lightning.
In the second stage, Teacher Jiang brought her Qi Core back into her body and began to use her physical body to withstand the continuously striking heavenly lightning.
Her skin carbonized from the high temperature, her hair was scorched, and her flesh was torn open.
Zhang Fan watched with a heart in agony, yet he could do nothing but silently observe.
Finally.
As the last heavenly lightning bolt struck down, the thunderclouds gradually dispersed.
"Hmm~~"
A low groan sounded, and Teacher Jiang, who had turned into charcoal, moved slightly.
Then, her carbonized skin cracked open, revealing new skin…
Most Titan Warriors possess extremely powerful Super Self-Healing abilities!
Although they cannot compare to Titan Beasts like the Titan Dragon Turtle, which possesses the divine ability of Super Self-Healing, they are much stronger than ordinary people!
Jiang Shengnan possesses the Five-Clawed Black Dragon Transformation, giving her extremely strong Super Self-Healing ability!
Nourished by jianmu juice, in less than an hour, Jiang Shengnan had healed all her injuries.
Although she was extremely weak.
Her skin was as smooth and new, and her newly grown hair was dark and soft.
Even the stretch marks on her belly had completely disappeared.
"Xiao Fan, I succeeded!"
Jiang Shengnan hugged Zhang Fan tightly, tears of excitement streaming down her face.
"Yes! You succeeded!"
Zhang Fan patted her back, smiling, "Teacher Jiang, you've also entered the Golden Core Realm, ranking among the world's top experts!"
"Xiao Fan, thank you!"
Teacher Jiang stared at Zhang Fan, her eyes misty with tears, "Without you, I wouldn't even have had the courage to face the tribulation!"
"Thank you! Thank you! It was you who gave me the courage to face the tribulation!"
"Silly girl!"
Zhang Fan gently kissed her on the corner of her lips, "I'm your man!"
"Yes! You are my man! My, Jiang Shengnan's, man!"
Jiang Shengnan nodded like a chick pecking rice, tightly embracing her man's neck, her reddened eyes filled with tenderness and affection.
This tribulation was relatively smooth, with no unexpected troubles, and no one came to cause disturbance.
Zhang Fan and Teacher Jiang spent some tender moments together, then returned to the Satellite City.
However, when they returned home, Zhang Tiechui and Zhang Tiedan were gone.
Even the two confinement nannies and two housekeepers had disappeared with them.
Jiang Shengnan was frantic and immediately checked the home surveillance.
Then she saw a group of people rush into the house and take the children away!
Who these people were, Jiang Shengnan didn't know, and had no way to find out.
"Xiao Fan, what do we do? What do we do now?" Jiang Shengnan cried in distress.
"Don't worry! I have a way!"
Zhang Fan comforted her, asking Stellar Armor to investigate the whereabouts of their two sons.
Stellar Armor's intelligent system was far more advanced than Golden Armor's.
In less than ten seconds, there was a result: "Master, the two young masters were taken to the Wu Family Club!"
"Wu Family Club?"
Zhang Fan said to Jiang Shengnan, "The children are at the Wu Family Club!"
Jiang Shengnan was startled, "How could they be at the Wu Family Club?"
"Since they're at the Wu Family Club, it's most likely someone from the Wu Family made a move!"
A cold glint flickered in Zhang Fan's eyes.
…
Wu Family Club.
It is a high-end club opened by the Suzhou Wu Family in Wuxing Satellite City.
It usually does not receive ordinary people, only business tycoons, high-ranking government officials, or powerful Titan Warriors favored by the Wu Family.
Although the Wu Family Club is nominally an asset of the Suzhou Wu Family, its true owner is Wu Yongxing of the Wu Family!
Wu Yongxing!
The sixth son of Grandfather Wu, and the only Golden Core Realm expert in the Suzhou Wu Family, he is deeply loved by Grandfather Wu!
Oh, right!
Wu Yongxing has a wife named Lin Guilan, who is Lin Guoqiang's daughter!
In a private room at the club.
Wu Yongxing sat on the sofa, looking at the four women kneeling on the floor.
If Jiang Shengnan were here, she would recognize at a glance that these four women were her two confinement nannies and two housekeepers.
The two confinement nannies were still holding two crying babies.
They were Zhang Tiechui and Zhang Tiedan!
Wu Yongxing held a cigar, exhaled a long string of smoke rings, and leisurely said, "Show them the photo!"
Behind the four women stood seven or eight men in suits; they were the ones who brought Zhang Tiedan and the others here!
A big man pulled out a photo and held it in front of the four women.
"Do you recognize her?"
The big man asked coldly.
"Yes… yes!"
Housekeeper Liu Ma recognized at a glance that this woman was the young woman who had caused trouble at their home two days ago.
"Tell me, how did she die? Was she killed by you?" Wu Yongxing stared coldly at Housekeeper Liu Ma.
This woman was Lin Guilan, his, Wu Yongxing's, wife!
But she was killed!
Housekeeper Liu Ma was terrified and stammered, "No! It wasn't us who killed her! It was Mr. Zhang Fan!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the luxurious and exquisite private room instantly fell silent.
Wu Yongxing and the men in suits all stared in astonishment at Housekeeper Liu Ma.
Mr. Zhang Fan?
Which Mr. Zhang Fan?
It couldn't be that one, could it?
Wu Yongxing lost his composure, dropping his cigar, and stared intently at Liu Ma, demanding, "Who is this Mr. Zhang Fan you're talking about?"
His wife, Lin Guilan, hadn't returned for several days, so Wu Yongxing naturally had to inquire.
After some investigation, Lin Guilan's body was found in a neighboring community; she had been shot in the head, leaving only a headless corpse!
Wu Yongxing was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, which quickly led to a woman named Jiang Shuya!
Surveillance footage showed Lin Guilan and her mother entering Jiang Shuya's home.
And then, they never came out!
Considering that Jiang Shuya was a Core Formation Realm Titan Warrior, Wu Yongxing guessed that the murderer was most likely Jiang Shuya!
Wu Yongxing was extremely angry!
Lin Guilan was his, Wu Yongxing's, wife, and she was killed!
This was a slap to his, Wu Yongxing's, face, a slap to the Suzhou Wu Family's face!
If he didn't avenge this, how could he, Wu Yongxing, face anyone in the future?
Furthermore, there was the most crucial point: Lin Guilan was pregnant!
And she was carrying a son!
Wu Yongxing had many wives and quite a few daughters, but no sons, so Wu Yongxing valued this only son greatly!
Unexpectedly, Lin Guilan was killed, and Wu Yongxing lost his son!
He wanted revenge!
It was for this reason that Wu Yongxing sent people to kidnap Jiang Shuya's sons; he wanted to repay her in her own coin!
You killed my son, right?
Then I'll kill your sons!
You killed one of mine!
I'll kill two of yours!
"It's… it's that Mr. Zhang, the one from the Chang'an Zhang Family, who even helped our Wuxing Satellite City defend against the beast tide four years ago!"
Housekeeper Liu Ma was already scared out of her wits and dared not hide anything, spilling all of Zhang Fan's information like beans from a bamboo tube.
After listening, Wu Yongxing felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet, rushing straight to the crown of his head, making his scalp tingle.
"Zhang Fan… how could it be Zhang Fan? This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Wu Yongxing was somewhat exasperated, kicking Liu Ma in the chin, "You dare to lie to me, I'll kill you!"
Liu Ma was just an ordinary person; how could she withstand a kick from a Golden Core Realm expert?
She was kicked to death on the spot!
Wu Yongxing didn't even care; he rushed over to Confinement Nanny Wu Ma, grabbed her by the collar, and demanded with bloodshot eyes:
"Speak!!"
"What exactly happened? Why is Zhang Fan involved in this?"
Wu Ma was trembling like a sieve, stammering, "It… it was Mr. Zhang who killed those three people!"
"I… I'm not lying! It really was Mr. Zhang! It really was him! Mr. Zhang Fan is Miss Jiang's husband…"
"Boom!"
Wu Yongxing felt as if struck by lightning, his vision momentarily darkened, and he pointed at the wailing Zhang Tiechui and Zhang Tiedan: "So, they… they are Zhang Fan's sons?"
"Yes… yes!"
Wu Ma nodded repeatedly.
It's over!
Wu Yongxing's face was ashen, and he collapsed onto the sofa: "How… how could they be Zhang Fan's sons?"
"Isn't that woman named Jiang Shuya a single mother?"
To trace his wife's whereabouts, Wu Yongxing had specially sent people to investigate the information of the villa's owner.
The owner they found was a single mother named Jiang Shuya.
Moreover, Jiang Shuya was also a Core Formation Realm Titan Warrior!
She came to Wuxing more than three years ago, then gave birth, bought a house, settled down, and had been raising her two sons alone ever since!
From beginning to end, there had been no information related to Zhang Fan; how could her sons become Zhang Fan's sons?
Wu Yongxing couldn't understand!
"I used to think Miss Jiang was a single mother too!"
Wu Ma stammered, "But a few days ago, Mr. Zhang suddenly appeared!"
"That's when I found out that Miss Jiang was actually his wife!"
"The two sons she gave birth to are Mr. Zhang's sons!"
"Appeared a few days ago?"
Wu Yongxing demanded, "So, before that, Zhang Fan never appeared?"
"No! Absolutely not!"
Wu Ma quickly said, "I've been with Miss Jiang for almost three years, helping her raise the children, and during that time, I've never seen Mr. Zhang!"
Wu Yongxing waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to take the people away, and soon, only Wu Yongxing was left in the private room.
His face was pale, devoid of any color, and he sat slumped on the sofa, remaining silent for a long time.
After a while, Wu Yongxing dialed a number, his face mournful, "Dad, I… I've caused trouble!"
