Chapter 494: Chapter 494: A Glimmer of Hope

Song Yunuan entered the reception room.

Chang Dan summoned her spirits and smiled at Song Yunuan.

But deep in her eyes, there was an almost imperceptible loathing and sorrow.

Perhaps facing Song Yunuan, or perhaps because so many things couldn’t be shared with others, this couple, both older than Song Yunuan and Gu Huai’an, had become extremely fragile.

Ai Ruifeng said, "I’m not someone who likes to live in resentment, yet I hate not only the heartless Ai Zhifeng but also the so-called master who led them astray."

This was no surprise to Gu Huai’an.

Little Nuan had mentioned it to him.

"The man’s name is Dong Liang, Han Shan’s chief disciple and also Ai Zhifeng’s brother-in-law. He said my three children had good fortune, and if it were taken from them, it could be used for their benefit. At that time, Ai Zhifeng had a huge debt he dared not let his father find out about, and I was abroad. He had always been jealous of me managing the family business and hated me for not letting him enter the headquarters. So, on a stormy night, at the time this scoundrel referred to as the auspicious moment of Heaven and Earth being in harmony, they first had Lan Shaoxia deceive Chang Dan and then had Ai Ni go play with my children. When the time was right, they had Ai Ni leave, and the lurking Ai Zhifeng did as Wan Liang instructed. He made my three children briefly lose breath so that he could deceive Heaven and Earth and steal their fortunes..."

Ai Ruifeng couldn’t continue speaking at this point.

Chang Dan’s voice was hoarse, "I can’t understand, really. How could the children born into my family lack good fortune? Even if they were fools, they could have a worry-free life. Doesn’t Ai Ni have good fortune?"

Ai Ruifeng wiped away a tear, eyes filled with hatred, "It’s hateful. I was unaware of the truth, and later I even helped resolve Ai Zhifeng’s debts."

The room fell silent.

It was mainly a time to choose to listen.

Perhaps this couple simply couldn’t confide in others.

They still faced Song Yunuan, a mysterious small benefactor who was helping them with their revenge.

Sensing the quiet atmosphere, Ai Ruifeng apologized to both, "Sorry, I lost control for a moment and became a little emotional."

Gu Huai’an, "Don’t worry, facing such matters, nobody could remain calm."

Song Yunuan looked at the couple as they hesitated to speak.

This demeanor made both of their hearts skip a beat.

Chang Dan said uneasily, "Miss... Miss Song?"

Song Yunuan fiddled with her hair and said, "How should I put this? If you don’t believe me, maybe it’s better not to say it, but even if you do, it might be even more painful than what you’re going through now. However, there’s a saying, ’Out of fifty calamities decreed by Heavenly Dao, forty-nine can be escaped; yet still, there’s a thread of hope left...’"

Ai Ruifeng and Chang Dan were stunned, completely at a loss for what she meant.

After a moment of silence, Ai Ruifeng spoke, "Whatever we are going through now is already tragic enough. Even if it gets worse, we can bear it."

Yet at this moment, for some reason, their heartbeats quickened.

Gu Huai’an glanced at Little Nuan. The person he had to meet was also on the way. Gu Huai’an said, "Please wait a moment, I need to fetch something."

Gu Huai’an quickly carried the food box into the reception room.

He placed the food box on the table.

Song Yunuan stated plainly, "If a person’s spirit is described as energy, then, after some people die, their energy remains. Your children loved the pastries from Hongyan Grand Restaurant, so they attached themselves to this food box. I don’t understand the specifics, but they’re probably about to dissipate..."

Ai Ruifeng and Chang Dan abruptly stood up from the couch.

Both were shocked as they stared at the food box.

Their gazes were filled with disbelief.

Song Yunuan’s words struck like a bolt from the blue.

In that moment, both of them trembled, their minds blank.

Song Yunuan blinked, waiting to see how well they could accept this.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Hong’s phone rang softly in Gu Huai’an’s pocket, not loud enough to alarm the couple.

He nodded to Song Yunuan and stepped out to take the call.

The couple also gradually came to their senses.

Because the food box was placed on the coffee table, the couple both lunged toward it and knelt on the ground.

With bloodshot eyes, trembling hands reached out to touch the food box.

But their minds were still a complete mess.

They even felt as if everything in front of them was a dream.

Yes, this had to be a dream. In the past few days, the husband and wife had been immersed in agony, unable to accept what they had learned.

They even felt as if the heavens had collapsed.

After all, before seeing it for themselves, they had harbored a sliver of hope, perhaps their child had only been abducted and was still alive somewhere.

But reality was so cruel.

Despite this, they still had to thank Miss Song.

If it weren’t for Miss Song, they would still be in the dark, cleaning up the mess for their enemies, allowing the murderer of their child to live a life of glory, laughing at their stupidity and incompetence behind their backs.

That was what they were thinking, what they had discussed, but it had never come to pass.

So, this must be a dream.

Song Yunuan broke the silence in the room and said, "Do you know any capable or extraordinary people? If you do, you could ask them to come and have a look."

Ai Ruifeng and Chang Dan finally snapped back to reality, and Ai Ruifeng, pale-faced, shook his head.

He had known many people in the past, none of whom were able to find the child, but now he had destroyed the Wanliang and his so-called Sect.

It was at that moment that Gu Huai’an came in with two people.

One looked very ordinary, but there was a sharp glint in his eyes.

Quite exaggerated, indeed.

Upon seeing Song Yunuan, he even shielded his eyes with his hands.

A storm raged in his heart.

He had been surprised just by Gu Huai’an, but this young girl was even more so.

Due to his profession, sometimes he would instinctively take a look.

But these two people were shrouded in radiance, elusive, and he dared not look closely.

Ai Ruifeng recognized this man; they had met the day before yesterday. However, Ai Ruifeng did not want to see him, and had even declared they should have no further dealings, cursing him as a swindler. He had said, if you can’t even calculate this, how dare you call yourself a master?

So this meeting was somewhat awkward.

Before Ai Ruifeng could speak, Zhang Quan stepped forward, scrutinizing the food box carefully and mumbling to himself, "So that’s how it is, that’s how it is!"

The beam of the food box was actually made of lightning-struck wood.

No wonder they couldn’t calculate the whereabouts; it was because the will of Heaven had concealed it.

Finally, the tearful couple left the hotel with Zhang Quan.

Of course, taking the food box with them,

This matter was considered a secret between the two of them, of course, Little Asheng excluded.

Song Yunuan reminded Asheng not to talk about the food box with anyone.

Song Yunuan pondered if they were truly fated, then perhaps the only option was to come back and be their child.

For the couple, that would be the greatest joy.

Xia Xindong’s pharmaceutical factory negotiations were successful.

And had nothing to do with those three families.

This time it was the Lew family that facilitated the connection.
