Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 827: How Is the Young Master Here?
The conversation between the two made Ji Wei feel a bit suspicious.
The door of the Ji Family is impossible to lock from the inside, which isn’t proper. Plus, the place where [Old Madam Ji] resides also has cats, so it’s unlikely mice could be bold enough to make noise in broad daylight.
Somehow, Ji Wei felt an inexplicable urge to investigate.
It wouldn’t take more than a few minutes, so she might as well go and have a look.
"Where is the storage room you mentioned just now? Take me there to have a look." Ji Wei walked over and said to the two servants.
The servants exchanged a glance, looking very surprised, but complied nonetheless.
Before long, they arrived in front of the storage room.
The storage room was on the relatively secluded north side of the first floor, but the second floor just happened to be where Old Madam Ji’s bedroom was.
"Miss, look, this door won’t open." One of the servants shook the door, then turned back to her.
Ji Wei looked at the thick storage room door, and the unusual feeling in her heart grew stronger.
She felt as if something inside was calling to her.
"Get the steward to bring people here to open the door." She turned to one of the servants and said.
Soon, the steward brought several people over, and after ten minutes of effort, they finally managed to pry open the locked door.
The door was slowly pushed open.
Sunlight from outside poured into the storage room, illuminating the contents clearly.
The storage room was mostly filled with tools, and there were some cardboard boxes piled in the corner. Ji Wei scanned around but didn’t notice anything unusual, nor did she see any mice or other small animals.
She began to suspect she might have overthought, just as she was about to turn around, one of the cardboard boxes in the corner suddenly moved slightly.
One of the servants standing behind Ji Wei couldn’t help but shout, "Mouse! There must be a mouse in the box!"
The other two male servants already had their shovels at the ready, cautiously approaching the box. The box was still moving, wobbling as if something alive was inside.
Just as the male servants were about to raise the shovel to strike the box, Ji Wei suddenly shouted with an almost telepathic intuition, "Wait!"
The male servants turned their heads in confusion to look at her.
Ji Wei quickly stepped forward, pushed the male servants aside, and directly reached out to open the lid of the box.
At the moment the box’s contents were revealed, Ji Wei almost thought she was dreaming.
An An!
The baby lying in the box was An An!
An An had his hands and feet bound, and his mouth was gagged with a cloth, so there was no way he could cry out or make a sound.
Ji Wei was both shocked and overjoyed, quickly reaching out to pick up An An, frantically untying the ropes binding him.
The gathered servants saw Miss Ji take Little Master out from the box, each feeling beyond disbelief.
How could Little Master be here? Who was so cruel to leave a baby here unattended?
An An was wearing only a thin sleeper onesie, and the ropes were tied tightly, leaving deep bruises on his chubby little arms. Ji Wei felt both heartache and sadness, tears falling uncontrollably.
The child was halfway closing his eyes, looking dazed, with large, tear-swollen eyes.
"An An, it’s mommy... It’s alright now, mommy will take you away from here, I’m sorry... it’s mommy’s fault, mommy didn’t protect you..."
Tears blurred her vision, Ji Wei held her son tightly with immense heartache, comforting him with a trembling voice.
An An had cried and shouted for most of the day, completely worn out. Ji Wei dared not delay, quickly carrying her son out while telling the steward to immediately call the family doctor.
