Six Years Later: Wrecking His World with Quadruplets - Chapter 211

Chapter 211

Zhou Yi nodded and stepped closer. He took a deep breath before speaking to Di Shijing. “Five and a half years ago, Miss Zhiyi gave birth at a private hospital called ‘Sheng Nuo.’ She registered her information at the time, and according to the hospital records, Miss Zhiyi…”

At this point, his speech slowed significantly. With a hint of disbelief in his voice, he said stiffly, “She gave birth to quadruplets back then. It’s just… two of them passed away shortly after birth.”

Those two short sentences were packed with an overwhelming amount of information.

When Zhou Yi first found out, he had confirmed it with Zhou Ying several times, fearing there was a mistake.

He only dared to report it after Zhou Ying repeatedly guaranteed it was the truth.

“What did you say?”

Di Shijing was stunned. His perennial poker face looked as if it were about to crumble at that moment.

Unable to control his tone, he demanded, “Are you saying… Nan Zhiyi didn’t just give birth to Hengheng and Wanwan, but… two others as well?”

Zhou Yi gave a low grunt of affirmation, the words heavy as he spoke. “The ones who died were a boy and a girl!”

Di Shijing’s mind exploded with a bang. It felt as if something was violently tearing and churning at his heart.

A sharp, stinging pain rapidly spread through him.

In the depths of his eyes, a storm was brewing that no one could withstand.

Di Shijing was shocked by the existence of the other two children.

He couldn’t help but think about how Nan Zhiyi had been alone abroad, pregnant, and then forced to endure the agony of losing her children…

How did that woman survive back then?

Why hadn’t she ever said a single word to him?

Was there anyone by her side at the time?

As one thought after another flashed through his mind, Di Shijing felt a sense of suffocation.

He found it difficult to breathe.

Seeing that his Master’s expression was wrong, Zhou Yi felt uneasy as well.

However, he continued his report dutifully. “The person who accompanied her during the delivery was Miss Sheng… However, there is one thing that is quite suspicious.”

Di Shijing took a breath, trying his best to keep his emotions in check. “What is it?”

Zhou Yi replied, “The doctors and nurses who delivered Miss Zhiyi’s babies all resigned the day after the children were born. The reasons are unknown.”

Hearing this, Di Shijing couldn’t help but frown. “What happened?”

“Zhou Ying is still investigating,”

Zhou Yi answered truthfully. “Additionally, regarding the deliberate concealment of Miss Zhiyi’s information, we haven’t found anything concrete. However… when arrangements were made for Miss Zhiyi’s admission, another name appeared alongside Miss Sheng’s… The concealment of information might be related to this person.”

Di Shijing’s eyes darkened, his tone cold. “Who?”

Zhou Yi’s expression turned serious as he responded, “Fu Sichen, the current head of the Stephen Group in Country Y!”

“Stephen Group?”

Di Shijing narrowed his eyes. “The same Stephen Group I’m thinking of?”

Zhou Yi nodded. “The very one…”

This Stephen Group had been established for over a century. It was an ancient business family that held a pivotal position in Country Y.

Furthermore, the early history of the family’s rise was quite colorful. It was said that their ancestor was a legendary pirate who later retired from that life to enter the world of commerce.

This resulted in the group having an intricate and deeply mysterious background.

“The current head is said to be extremely capable and very young… The fact that ZELING’s headquarters was able to rise so quickly in Country Y is largely due to the support of the Stephen Group.”

After listening to Zhou Yi, Di Shijing murmured to himself in a low voice, “Fu Sichen? A man?”

Listening to his Master’s muttering, Zhou Yi could sense an unreadable emotion behind the words.
He didn’t even dare to speak, feeling that his Master’s aura was a bit terrifying…

Di Shijing pondered for a long time before giving Zhou Yi an order. “No matter how much effort it takes, investigate this matter thoroughly. I want to know the whole truth!”

“I understand, Master.”

Zhou Yi nodded in response, turned around, and left in a hurry.

…

Nan Zhiyi was still unaware that the matter regarding the four children had been discovered.

After spending a few days in her own private laboratory, she finally returned to Di Corporation.

The main purpose of her return, naturally, was to submit her formulas for the competition.

When Lin Zhizhi saw Nan Zhiyi, she was visibly excited. “You’re finally back! This is great! Why didn’t you tell me in advance? I would have gone downstairs to pick you up!”

Seeing her exaggerated behavior, Nan Zhiyi couldn’t help but laugh. “I’m not some VIP. Act normal.”

“Is Aletta not a VIP?”

Lin Zhizhi begged to differ. She took Nan Zhiyi’s arm and shouted to the others, “Brothers and sisters, your idol is back!”

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately swarmed around them, their expressions filled with excitement. “Great Master Aletta, could you give me an autograph?”

“Me first, me first! Aletta, I’ve been looking forward to seeing you for days. Please, can you sign my clothes?”

“And me, and me…”

Her colleagues were fanatical, making it look like a large-scale celebrity meet-and-greet.

Nan Zhiyi found it hard to keep a straight face. With a wave of her hand, she signed for everyone.

After getting what they wanted, everyone held their autographs like precious treasures. But they weren’t done yet and continued to ask, “Aletta, if we have any questions about perfumery in the future, can we come to you?”

The colleagues around her all looked at her with starry eyes.

She was one of the industry benchmarks; getting her guidance was a huge win!

Nan Zhiyi never expected that after the incident with Nan Wanyue and Song Liqin, everyone would react this way.

She felt a sense of relief in her heart and nodded. “Sure.”

Everyone cheered with joy.

For a moment, Research Lab 2 was incredibly lively.

Fortunately, Lin Zhizhi stepped in to stop them, ushering everyone back to their respective posts before the commotion gradually died down.

Once the colleagues had dispersed, Lin Zhizhi whispered to Nan Zhiyi, “See? This is the charm of professionalism. Compared to so-called gossip, everyone admires your strength more. So, don’t feel pressured.”

Seeing her friend comfort her, Nan Zhiyi felt a warmth in her heart and said with a smile, “Thanks.”

“We’re friends, it’s nothing.”

Lin Zhizhi waved her hand, pretending not to care.

But that only lasted for a second before she rubbed her hands together. “Of course, if you really want to thank me, it’s not impossible. Could you give me some pointers later?”

Nan Zhiyi laughed. “Can I refuse?”

“Of course not! You definitely wouldn’t be so heartless, right?”

…

In the neighboring laboratory.

Nan Wanyue was busy mixing a formula. When she turned around, she saw that the members of her team were all distracted, glancing outside from time to time. Their hearts had long since flown elsewhere.

How could she not know the reason?

Because of this, her expression became even uglier. She immediately snapped at everyone, “What are you all doing during work hours? Is the work in your hands finished?”

There was a hint of jealous fire in her voice.

The team members, constrained by her status, didn’t dare to talk back. They suppressed their thoughts and lowered their heads to force themselves back to work.

However, there were also some who were dissatisfied with Nan Wanyue and whispered under their breath, “What is she so arrogant about? Does she really think she’s still the high-and-mighty Director and the future daughter-in-law of the Di Family? How ridiculous.”
