Chapter 1 Release from Prison_1

Tiandong City, First Prison.

The heavy iron gate opened slowly, and after bidding farewell to the prison officer, a tall and handsome young man walked out of the prison.

The blue shirt on the young man had been washed white and was somewhat ill-fitting, too tight on him. His muscles almost seemed ready to burst through the fabric.

There were no cars in sight on the main road from the prison to the city area, nor were there any pedestrians on the roadside. There was only a black Mercedes CLS coupe parked not far away.

The young man walked past the coupe without taking pause, his gaze not even lingering for an extra moment.

However, a young woman got out of the car and called out to him, "Hey, wait."

The young man turned around to see a breathtakingly beautiful woman. Around 1.72 meters tall, she had a well-proportioned figure and was particularly buxom. Her long legs were white and delicate.

"Are you calling me?"

"Yes, you. You're Yang Xiao, right?"

The young man nodded, "Yes, I'm Yang Xiao. What do you need?"

"Get in, come with me." The woman was very bossy.

Yang Xiao hesitated for half a second, then decided to agree. There were still several kilometers to the city area! Walking there was not really an option.

And such a frail woman couldn't possibly do anything to him. Besides, it was a good opportunity for a free ride.

On the road, Yang Xiao didn't ask the woman where they were going. He just looked into the distance, his eyes slightly unfocused as he recalled the past.

Five years ago, he was just an ordinary security guard at a company.

One night, while he was on the night shift and checking the company building, he found the door to the chairman's office open with the lights still on.

Therefore, Yang Xiao thought to turn off the lights and close the door, but unexpectedly, the 23-year-old beautiful CEO Chen Yufei was still in the office.

And she was panting, her face flushed.

Yang Xiao immediately sensed that something was amiss, realizing he might have stumbled upon some secret.

Just as Yang Xiao was thinking about sneaking away, Chen Yufei threw herself at him, and her passionate body temperature touched Yang Xiao, causing him to lose his composure in an instant.

After that night, the most glamorous female CEO of Tiandong City became Yang Xiao's woman. But when Chen Yufei sobered up, she immediately turned on him.

She accused Yang Xiao of using force on the spot. Yang Xiao, just a security guard, had no defense. In the end, he was sentenced to five years.

After going to prison, Yang Xiao harbored no resentment. After all, he had indeed done that deed. Although it was Chen Yufei who initiated it, she was clearly drugged.

If Yang Xiao had been more upright, such a thing would never have happened. So over the past five years, Yang Xiao had been deeply reflecting on himself. He vowed that once he got out of prison, he would be an upright and honorable man.

"Don't you want to ask me why I'm looking for you?"

Seeing that Yang Xiao remained silent, the woman took the initiative to speak.

Yang Xiao gave her a glance, but didn't respond.

The woman rolled her eyes at him, then said, "I am Chen Yufei's best friend. My name is Su Qian'er."

Chen Yufei?

That name immediately caused Yang Xiao's gaze to sharpen.

After five years, she knew he was getting out of prison and sent someone to find him, but why?

Could it be that five years in prison wasn't enough for her, and she still wanted to punish him further?

"Why are you looking for me?" Although he was somewhat surprised, Yang Xiao's face remained calm, exuding an air of strength.

He was no longer that small-time security guard Yang Xiao from five years ago. In prison, Yang Xiao had met a master, and from then on, he had studied under the master. With five years of hard work, Yang Xiao had become an extraordinary master himself.

"To save someone!"

"Save who?"

"Your daughter."

"What?" Yang Xiao exclaimed in shock.

Daughter?

I actually have a daughter?

Could it be that after that night, Chen Yufei had a child?

And, she actually gave birth to it.

In her eyes, that's the child of a rapist, the child of a little security guard. Why didn't she, why didn't she get rid of that child?

"I know you'd be very surprised, and I know what you're thinking. Hard to believe, isn't it, thinking that Yufei is so stupid? That's right, we all thought so. But the child was still born, and she's already four years old."

A four-year-old little girl.

Would she be cute? She should be, after all her mother is that beautiful, and the father is very handsome too.

But Su Qian'er just mentioned saving someone, saving a daughter? What's that about? What's wrong with the daughter?

"Get to the point, what happened to my daughter?"

"Sigh," Su Qian'er let out a soft sigh, "She's very cute and beautiful, just as spiritually radiant as her mother. But after starting kindergarten, she unfortunately fell ill. She picked up a toy at school, a radiation therapy ball used by hospitals, made with cobalt-60. Anyone who comes into unprotected contact with it could have a leukocyte mutation. Put simply, they could get leukemia. Several kids at the kindergarten were affected."

After hearing this, Yang Xiao's fists were clenched tight, his eyes revealing a fierce murderous intent.

"This must have been done on purpose. How could hospital radioactive material end up in a kindergarten?"

Even though Yang Xiao didn't understand exactly what that thing was, he could tell from common sense that if it was dangerous, it must be kept securely.

"Everyone knows it's a plot, but the focus now is saving the child. Yufei's bone marrow doesn't match, and the hospital's bone marrow bank can't find a suitable donor. Moreover, someone is trying to use the matter of the bone marrow donor to threaten Yufei. They want to take over Yufei's company, and even want to possess Yufei herself."

"What? Something like this actually happened? Who is responsible?" Yang Xiao was immediately enraged.

"The aristocratic Zhang Family from Tiandong City, the young master Zhang Yang."

Su Qian'er recounted the whole story to Yang Xiao. She was very familiar with the matter. Since Chen Yufei's daughter Mo Mo was diagnosed with leukemia, Zhang Yang had been hovering around Chen Yufei.

The Zhang Family was wealthy and powerful, and they had many medical resources. Thus, Zhang Yang began to hint to Chen Yufei that he could cure Mo Mo, as long as Chen Yufei agreed to his conditions.

However, Chen Yufei had not agreed, and Zhang Yang kept pestering her, even beginning to threaten her openly.

To protect Chen Yufei and save Mo Mo, Su Qian'er went to great lengths to investigate and obtained Yang Xiao's information. It just so happened that Yang Xiao had been released two months early for good behavior. That's why Su Qian'er was waiting at the door, ready to take Yang Xiao back.

But on Chen Yufei's side, she definitely did not want to see Yang Xiao. Otherwise, she would have looked for him long ago.

"Damn it! I think Mo Mo's illness very likely has something to do with Zhang Yang," Yang Xiao said, clenching his fists, a deadly aura already flashing in his eyes.

"Yang Xiao, you need to stay calm! The Zhang Family is very powerful, we can't confront them directly. Save Mo Mo first, we can discuss other matters later," Su Qian'er cautioned.

After listening, Yang Xiao answered firmly, "Yes, I understand, my daughter is the most important right now!"

Although he had not yet met his daughter, that blood connection was etched into his bones.

"I hope your bone marrow is a match because Yufei really loves that child!"

The child is innocent, and that's what both Chen Yufei and Su Qian'er believed.

No matter who the father of the child is, the child was ultimately born. As a mother, Chen Yufei would love her daughter dearly.

Yang Xiao didn't say anything more, just nodded vigorously.

He knew he couldn't really do anything now to make it up to Chen Yufei, nor could he do anything for his daughter, he might not even be able to acknowledge her.

So, Yang Xiao knew that this might be his only chance at redemption.

Saving his daughter might make Chen Yufei forgive him, and he would carry less guilt for the rest of his life.

And as for the conspiracy, Yang Xiao knew he had to investigate it. If it was indeed Zhang Yang, he would have to pay a bloody price.

Moreover, doing so could also clear the obstacles for his daughter and her mother.

Whether the conspiracy was planned by Zhang Yang or someone else, the fact was that Chen Yufei and her daughter had been targeted. If he didn't clear the obstacle, even if he saved his daughter this time, they would still be in danger in the future.

As Yang Xiao considered all this in his mind, the car sped along the national highway, already reaching a speed of 150 kilometers per hour.

Su Qian'er seemed even more anxious than Yang Xiao.

At this moment, Yang Xiao's only thought was to see his daughter as soon as possible.
