Chapter 202: The Mysterious Woman

Huo Wanting found An Ning’s appearance to be pleasing to the eye. She felt extremely pleased with herself. Whenever she thought about how that woman’s daughter was begging for mercy, she felt especially relieved.
Back then, she had suffered too much under that b*tch’s hands. Now that she could torture her daughter like this, she naturally felt relieved. Usually, regardless of whether it was the old man or her husband, they would always keep a close eye on her. She always wanted to avoid them, but now, under such circumstances… No one could say anything about her.
“Get up. The ground is very cold. Don’t say that I, as your mother, am not worried about you. You were raised by me. How can I not do what’s best for you?”
“I know. I know that Mother is doing what’s best for me. I’ve always known that. My marriage is naturally decided by my parents. That Yan Kuan, that Yan Kuan is the CEO of K-ONE… I thought that he could help the family in some way, so I took the initiative to look for Grandfather. Moreover, according to Grandfather’s words, it seems that Yan Kuan has a relationship with that so-called Dark Empire, so…”
Huo Wanting watched as An Ning spoke in such a detailed manner. She naturally knew that this girl was indeed frightened. Wasn’t she already starting to tell the truth?
“The Dark Empire? Are you sure?”
Huo Wanting stood up with a bang. She hadn’t heard of this news, but if it really was someone from the Dark Empire, then she could only rope them in and not offend them. She knew what the old man and her husband were thinking. At first, she thought it was a little unrealistic, but after all these years, she had seen the Ouyang family’s influence throughout China, so she naturally knew what it meant.
Now, hearing that there was such a powerful helper from the Dark Empire beside her, she was naturally curious. Not only was she curious, but she was also eager to find out what this Yan Kuan had to do with the Dark Empire.
“The old man has good taste. Ah Ning, you have good taste too. If this Yan Kuan really has such a great ability to be on par with the people of the Dark Empire, then you can really give it a try. However, don’t blame me for not reminding you. This Shen Xiaoxiao is a formidable enemy. Don’t let your guard down.”
“Moreover, in the future, if you want to gain a firm foothold in your husband’s family, if you want to control a man like Yan Kuan, you won’t be able to control his heart without the support of a strong enough family. Don’t forget this.”
Huo Wanting’s change in attitude and her shocked expression when she heard the name of the Dark Empire shocked An Ning. However, when she heard her change in attitude, she actually felt a little relieved. Maybe she saw hope… She saw the hope of her and Yan Kuan being together. If that was the case, then it was really possible for her to be together with Yan Kuan and drag Yan Kuan into the ranks of the Ouyang family, right? That was it, right?
But what was the Dark Empire? Why did Huo Wanting’s expression change when she heard the name? Was it some incredible existence or something? It seemed like she needed to understand it better.
“Yes, I know, I know. Thank you for your teachings, Mom. I’ll be leaving first.”
“You can leave now. I’ll let your brothers consider it carefully for you at the banquet tonight.”
An Ning was delighted. It would be best if she could get in touch with her brothers. Although she did not know which of her brothers would be the final winner, Huo Wanting had been preventing her from getting close to her brothers all these years. Now that she had such a rare opportunity… She would definitely seize it and cherish it. A strong family would only make her life easier in the future. This had always been the first rule in the Ouyang family’s education.
“Okay, okay. Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Mom!”
As soon as An Ning left, Huo Wanting hurriedly instructed the people behind her, “Inform the three young masters to come back immediately.”
…
After returning to her room, An Ning took a long time to calm down her bouncing heart. This Huo Wanting was really annoying, but she couldn’t do anything to her. She was the mistress of the house, the mistress of the entire Ouyang family. No one dared to bully her, no one dared to provoke her.
However, An Ning still listened to Huo Wanting’s beating and warning tonight. The two most important things were her unyielding family and her opponent was either Shen Xiaoxiao or someone else.
In An Ning’s mind, as long as she dealt with Shen Xiaoxiao, Yan Kuan would definitely be hers.
…
“Master, Old Yao went back. He didn’t contact anyone on the way back. He didn’t use his cell phone, so I didn’t see him contact anyone either.” Dark 1 reported all the information he had obtained.
Yan Kuan sat at the desk. After a while, he raised his head from the computer and said to Dark 1, “Old Man Yao has a disciple. He is his last disciple. Very few people have seen him. Check carefully.”
“Yes.”
“Is that person awake?”
Dark 1 stole a glance at Yan Kuan, but there was still no reaction. He felt uneasy, but he still said, “She woke up five minutes ago. Old Man Yao said she will be awake for half an hour every day.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Yan Kuan stood up and walked toward the basement level three of the base…
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Yan Kuan’s back thoughtfully and followed him without any reaction at all.
The basement level three was the lowest level of the base. As soon as she walked in, Shen Xiaoxiao felt that the security here was much more stringent than the first or second level. Not only that, there was also a lot of medical staff here.
Perhaps it was because they all knew Shen Xiaoxiao, but no one stopped them. Everyone was unusually respectful. Of course, Shen Xiaoxiao did not hide anything and just followed them casually. There were a few times when Shen Xiaoxiao felt that Yan Kuan actually knew, but he pretended not to know.
The third basement should belong to the medical department. All kinds of medical equipment were available, and the equipment was very advanced. There were also a few Noda’s laboratories, and there were even staff studying something inside.
Yan Kuan seemed to have become especially heavy since he walked in here. Shen Xiaoxiao followed him to a place that looked like a ward in Noda.
Yan Kuan opened the door and walked in. A secret guard followed closely behind him, and the secret guard at the door automatically moved away. This was also the only room on the third basement that was guarded by a secret guard.
Shen Xiaoxiao stood in front of the window and saw every move inside clearly. There was a hospital bed in the room, and all kinds of equipment were placed next to it. There was a woman lying on the hospital bed. She was dressed in white, and her long hair fluttered in the wind.
Because she was lying down, Shen Xiaoxiao could not see her appearance clearly. However, Yan Kuan seemed to be particularly familiar with that woman. He walked over and lifted the blanket off that woman with one hand. Although his movements were not gentle, they were not rude either. He even helped that woman up with some concern and sat her down against the headboard of the bed.
This action allowed Shen Xiaoxiao to see the woman’s appearance clearly. When she saw it, she was shocked. This was because if it was not obvious that this woman was a little out of place in terms of her age, her appearance was definitely An Ning, a middle-aged version of An Ning.
Who was this woman?
