Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 410 A Life Switched

Seeing her father being taken away, Yan Xue panicked completely.

She frantically pulled out her phone and immediately dialed Si Chu's number.

Before she could explain the situation of Yan Feng being taken away, Si Chu on the other end of the phone lowered his voice, his tone cold and devoid of any warmth.

“I can’t control this matter, you tell him to keep his mouth shut.”

Si Chu paused, his words carrying a subtle warning.

Many of the things Yan Feng has done in recent years were secretly instructed by him; he shouldn't be implicated later.

Before Yan Xue could speak again, Si Chu hung up with a "click".

Holding her phone, Yan Xue had no choice but to redial. This time, she called Liu Jinnian.

The moment the call connected, her voice trembled uncontrollably, pleading with a sob: "Liu Jinnian, please help me, save my dad! Even if our relationship has faded, you shouldn't just stand by and watch him die!"

"We have nothing to do with each other." Liu Jinnian's voice was as cold as ice, without a trace of emotion.

"You know very well how much benefit you've gained from the Yan family over the years by relying on my father's resources. It's not that easy for you to stay out of it."

Yan Xue gritted her teeth and said.

Liu Jinnian scoffed: "If you have evidence to prove that I'm involved, you can report me. Nobody's stopping you."

Yan Xue felt uneasy. Liu Jinnian had indeed taken a lot of money from the Yan family, but he was careful enough not to leave any clues, so she had no evidence to prove it.

"For the sake of our past as husband and wife, I advise you to turn yourself in as soon as possible."

Liu Jinnian's tone grew even colder, "Yan Feng embezzled a lot of money and spent it on you and your mother. You can't deny that."

"What do you mean by that?" Yan Xue was instantly dumbfounded, stammering as panic crept up her spine. "My mom and I... will we go to jail too?"

"If you honestly get a divorce from me, I might be able to help you find a good lawyer and get you a shorter sentence."

Liu Jinnian's words struck Yan Xuexin like a heavy hammer.

Her phone clattered to the ground, the screen shattered, and she collapsed onto the sofa, completely exhausted.

Madam Yan, who had been pacing anxiously nearby, immediately rushed over and grabbed Yan Xue's arm, asking, "Xue'er! How is it? Is Jin Nian willing to help? Is there any way to help your father?"

Just then, Yan Xue's gaze swept to a spot not far away where Yan Lan was sitting on the sofa, holding a teacup and leisurely drinking tea, as if the chaos in front of her had nothing to do with her.

"Yan Lan! It's you! It's all your fault!"

Yan Xue suddenly sat up from the sofa, not caring about her disheveled hair, and rushed over with red eyes, "If you hadn't insisted on going against the Yan family and kept harping on my father's affairs, how could he have been taken away? How could our family have fallen to this state!"

Yan Xue originally thought that the version of herself in her dream had already suffered enough, and now that she had a precognitive dream, things should start to look better from now on.

But why, after all the twists and turns, is everything worse than in the dream?

The Yan family was completely ruined, her father was in such a state, and her marriage with Liu Jinnian was also coming to an end, with them getting a divorce.

All these years of scheming and plotting have yielded no benefits, and in the end, Yan Xue even faces the risk of going to jail. Just thinking about it makes her feel suffocated.

But what about Yan Lan?

She stole my life and married Qin Shi in my place, so why does all the injustice go around her?

Hellish experiences never befell Yan Lan; instead, she lived a smooth and successful life. Why was that?

"Xue'er, tell me! Is Liu Jinnian willing to help or not? Didn't you pat your chest and say that as long as you don't go on blind dates with Qin Shi and get together with Liu Jinnian, he will become the richest man in the future, and our Yan family will also rise to prominence?"

"How did things get like this!" Madam Yan grabbed Yan Xue's arm and asked hysterically.

Both mother and daughter were on the verge of collapse.

Yan Xue felt a splitting headache, her mind a complete mess. She pushed her mother's hand away, slumped onto the sofa, and murmured, "I don't know... I don't know anything..."

Seeing this, Yan Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Actually, she had sensed that something was wrong with Yan Xue a long time ago, but she hadn't said anything.

Although Yan Xue was arrogant and domineering in the past, she was still quite simple-minded, and her joys and sorrows were written all over her face.

But when did Yan Xue become so calculating and start acting so strangely?

Suddenly, Yan Lan remembered.

Yes, it all started when Yan Xue insisted on being with Liu Jinnian.

After that, Yan Xue seemed like a different person. Now it seems that she knew something all along, but still played her hand terribly.

"How could this be... In my dream, Yan Lan became the wife of the richest man without any problems, and our Yan family didn't end up like this. Where did things go wrong?"

Yan Xue held her head in her hands, pondering repeatedly, but she couldn't figure it out no matter what.

Just then, something flashed through her mind like a thunderbolt, shattering her chaotic thoughts.

Yan Lan is the governor's daughter, and she has connections that most people don't have.

Yan Lan is also known as "God of Luck," having never lost a business deal.

Not to mention, she is also a reclusive ghost doctor, whom even top figures treat with respect.

Could it be that I've been wrong all along?

Yan Xue's body stiffened abruptly, and a terrible thought popped into her head uncontrollably.

All of this turning point was never because Liu Jinnian succeeded, but because the woman standing behind Liu Jinnian was Yan Lan!

The so-called "richest person" is never a fixed person, but rather whoever Yan Lan chooses can sit in that position.

"No! That can't be true!"

Yan Xue suddenly looked up, her face even paler than before. She shook her head violently, as if trying to shake the thought out of her mind, but the more she denied it, the stronger the panic in her heart became.

This answer was so drastic and devastating for her that it completely overturned her understanding of the world.

"Yan Xue, explain yourself! What dream? What exactly did you dream about?"

Yan Lan's voice suddenly turned cold, and her gaze was fixed on Yan Xue.

As soon as the words left her mouth, Yan Lan's mind flashed back to that dream that still haunted her to this day.

In her dream, her daughter Xiaoxi was gagged and dragged into a car, crying her heart out, while she could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.

It was that dream that made her cancel all her plans abroad and return to China immediately.

Even more fortunately, she returned in time, managing to stop the disaster and save Xiaoxi from harm.

Some things can never be explained by science, like that dream, which was terrifyingly accurate.

Since she was able to encounter something like this, could it be that the "dream" Yan Xue just blurted out wasn't just something she said offhand? Perhaps Yan Xue has also experienced similar dreams that seem to foresee something.

Yan Xue froze at Yan Lan's questioning. The words she was about to say in denial stuck in her throat. Looking at Yan Lan's sharp eyes, she lost the courage to refute.

How dare she say that what she dreamed of was the life Yan Lan should have had, and that she herself was the one trying to steal Yan Lan's life?

“If you tell me everything you know, I can get Situ Nan to help with Yan Feng’s case.”

Yan Lan spoke calmly, her gaze fixed on Yan Xue's face.

No one knew that she had secretly collected all the evidence of Yan Feng's crimes over the years, including embezzlement, bribery, and collusion with others.

This morning, when she left home, she had already handed over all the evidence to the relevant authorities.

The chain of evidence was solid enough to sentence Yan Feng to death.

Even if Situ Nan intervenes afterward, he can at most reduce the sentence to life imprisonment. Yan Feng will ultimately spend the rest of his life in a cold prison cell.

In Yan Lan's view, this is the best punishment for Yan Feng.

Letting Yan Feng live, watching everything he once had vanish into thin air, spending his days in regret and torment, is far more painful for him than dying.

Yan Xue remained silent, her lips tightly pressed together, clearly still making a final struggle.

Madam Yan, who had been unable to contain herself any longer, suddenly rushed to Yan Lan's side and pleaded.

"If she won't tell, I will! Yan Lan, please help us! Xue'er had a dream that allowed her to foresee the future! It's because of that dream that she insists on being with Liu Jinnian!"

"Mom!" Yan Xue's voice was shrill. She jumped up from the sofa and tried to pull her mother away, but the words had already left her mouth, and it was too late.

Yan Xue had kept the secret of that dream hidden for so long, only ever mentioning it to her closest relatives: her parents, and Liu Jinnian, who had once vowed to protect her.

Now that her mother had exposed her in public, she felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and she was trembling all over.

"Go on, you tell us."

Yan Lan's voice was even deeper than before, but her heart inexplicably jumped, and her eyes were fixed on Yan Xue.

She vaguely felt that Yan Xue's "dream" might be able to resolve all the doubts in her heart, and even had some inexplicable connection with her own dream.

Looking at her mother's panicked yet expectant eyes, and then at Yan Lan's unwavering gaze, Yan Xue knew that this matter could no longer be kept secret.

She bit her lip hard, her nails digging into her palms and leaving several red marks.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she took a deep breath and slowly opened her mouth, telling Yan Lan, word by word, about the dream that had been hidden in her heart and changed her life.

"Liu Jinnian also knows about this dream?"

After listening to Yan Xue's account, Yan Lan remained calm. Unlike Yan Xue's expectations, she did not fly into a rage because her "life had been switched." Even her tone was indifferent.

It's as if the life that was switched wasn't actually your own.

"He didn't know so much, and he didn't know... he was supposed to be with you in the dream."

After Yan Xue finished speaking, she felt as if all her bones had been removed. Her throat was extremely dry and hoarse, and she couldn't squeeze out another word for a long time. Only her chest was still rising and falling slightly.

"What else do you know about what happened afterward? You need to explain everything about Si Chu and the governor."

Yan Lan abruptly changed the subject. Rather than the so-called "life swap," she was more concerned about the current situation in Singapore, Si Chu's ambition, and the missing governor.

Thinking of these things, Yan Lan's gaze sharpened again.

Yan Xue shrugged and lowered her voice: "Si Chu will become the new governor. The current governor... passed away from overwork."

However, according to the timeline in the dream, this event should have happened about 10 years later.

I didn't know much about them; I didn't have much contact with them at the time.

After I married into the Qin family, I lived like a widow, staying in the villa and rarely going out.

I learned all of this later from the news.

"I will keep my promise and have Situ Nan help handle Yan Feng's case."

Yan Lan got up and walked out, but as soon as her hand touched the doorknob, she paused and looked back at the mother and daughter who were slumped on the sofa.

"In addition, if you hand over all your assets and confess voluntarily, you may be able to get lenient treatment."

As she opened the door and was about to leave, Yan Xue suddenly stood up, supporting herself on the sofa armrest.

Her voice was choked with barely perceptible sobs as she called out to Yan Lan, "Yan Lan, don't you blame me? If I hadn't taken your choice, you might already be living the life that should have been yours with Liu Jinnian."

Yan Lan didn't stop or turn around, and walked straight out the door. Just as the door was about to close, she left behind a light, casual remark.

Those words struck Yan Xue like a heavy hammer: "Things that can be stolen are better left untouched."

With a bang, the door slammed shut, separating the two worlds.

Yan Xue stood frozen in place, saying nothing, but her eyes instantly reddened, and tears streamed down her cheeks like broken beads.

"10 years?"

As Yan Lan walked out of the Yan family home, the setting sun had already filled the sky, and the orange-red afterglow dyed the streets with a warm and bright light, but it could not penetrate the deep sorrow in Yan Lan's eyes.

She put her hands in her pockets, slowed her pace, and kept replaying Yan Xue's words in her mind.

In other words, if everything goes according to Yan Xue's dream without any deviation, Uncle Tao could live for another 10 years.

She had personally treated Uncle Tao's health and knew the root of his problems. If she could have found the special prescription left by her mother and nourished and regulated him accordingly, Uncle Tao should have lived much longer, by far more than 10 years.

Thinking of this, Yan Lan's fingertips tightened slightly. It seemed that finding her mother's prescription was not only to fulfill her own wish, but also the key to saving Uncle Tao's life.

The prescription left by his mother not only concerned Uncle Tao's lifespan, but also his son Chaochao's health.

Thinking of Chaochao's thin face, Yan Lan's gaze darkened further.

Walking on the bustling street, the noise of the traffic couldn't distract her from her thoughts.

It wasn't until the giant electronic screen outside the mall suddenly switched its display to broadcast an urgent news report that Yan Lan's attention was abruptly drawn to it.

Breaking news! The Qin Group is suspected of smuggling, and relevant senior executives have been criminally detained in accordance with the law. The case is currently under further investigation!

On the screen, cameras from multiple media outlets crowded around the Qin's Building, the flashing lights making people dizzy, and several police cars were parked on the roadside, their lights still slowly flashing.

The next second, a familiar figure walked out of the building's revolving door and headed towards the police car; it was Qin Shi.
