Jian Yufei hung up the phone, and Ruan Tianling closed his cell.

"Continue." He spoke nonchalantly.

The manager continued his report.

Ruan Tianling, however, was not in the mood to listen. As soon as the manager finished his report, he announced the meeting was over.

Back in the president’s office, Ruan Tianling made a call to directly inquire from one of the bodyguards watching over Xiao Zexin.

These bodyguards worked for him, so they naturally didn’t dare to hide anything.

The bodyguard recounted the recent events in detail.

"Young Master, it was Mr. Xiao and Madam who instructed us not to disclose anything," the bodyguard added nervously.

Ruan Tianling’s fingers tapped lightly on the desk. "If you dare to hide anything again, you know the consequences!"

"Yes, I’ll never dare to again!"

Ruan Tianling hung up the phone, realizing he had become more lenient.

In the past, if any subordinate ever dared to deceive him, he would have punished them severely.

He would never have given them another chance.

However, giving one chance doesn’t mean he has truly become lenient.

Ruan Tianling collected his emotions and dialed Jian Yufei’s number.

Jian Yufei was waiting for his news and was surprised to receive a reply so soon.

"Hello, did you find anything out?" she asked.

"Hmm. Recently, there have been some incidents involving your father and mother."

"What incidents?!" Jian Yufei asked nervously.

Ruan Tianling didn’t hide anything from her and shared it all.

Including the incident where Xiao Zexin inexplicably stabbed himself, nearly harming Nangong Ruyue.

Although there were no other servants present when Xiao Zexin forcibly violated Nangong Ruyue in the room at that time,

it didn’t mean others didn’t know what happened between them.

Jian Yufei listened with a slight frown: "So many things happened, yet my parents didn’t say anything!"

"I guess they didn’t want you to worry."

"But this isn’t a small matter!"

Jian Yufei recalled what Li Mingxi said, suspecting that Nangong Yi had given her father another task.

Could it be the task to forcibly violate her mother?

You know, if her father really did that, the baby in her mother’s belly couldn’t be saved.

Moreover, initially, besides rejecting her, her father later rejected her mother as well.

His rejection of them was also to keep them away from him, to protect them from his harm.

The more Jian Yufei thought, the more she felt her analysis was correct.

Her face turned slightly pale: "Ruan Tianling, Nangong Yi is not aiming for a triple hit."

"Hmm?" Ruan Tianling didn’t understand.

Nangong Yi is aiming for a quadruple hit—

He targeted Xiao Zexin with four objectives.

1. To use Ruan Tianling and the others to kill Nangong Wenchang.

2. To threaten Nangong Ruyue, causing her to be expelled from the family.

3. To manipulate Xiao Zexin to kill Jian Yufei, preventing Ruan Tianling from meddling in the Nangong Family’s affairs.

Now she discovered another objective of his.

To use her father against the child in her mother’s belly.

He didn’t dare to harm her mother in the castle, but her mother’s unborn child couldn’t be kept.

To get rid of that child, he could only use her father.

This might be his fallback plan, just in case.

After all, her father might not have the chance to get close to her mother.

If he did get close and killed the baby in her belly, that would be the best outcome.

Moreover, after killing the child, even if they wanted to blame someone, they would only blame her father.

Even if they realized it was a conspiracy, they would seek revenge on Nangong Wenchang.

Even if they didn’t seek revenge on Nangong Wenchang initially, they would eventually go after him.
