CHAPTER 1478 I STILL WANT TO RESCUE YOU
"Damn it!" Fang Dong cursed in his heart. “Nanshan, you useless piece of trash!”
He had failed!
Nanshan had failed and Fang Xia actually made it back home safely. What was the point of keeping this piece of trash around?
Fang Xia had returned and even brought a page of the manual back. He didn't get punished and might very well be rewarded!
His position in the family was suddenly reinstated and was possibly even higher than before.
Fang Dong's expression was complicated and remained dark as he fell silent. Then he scoffed and left the hall.
But Fang Xia didn't go back to his room to rest.
He came right to the underground jail in the mountains. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"Second Young Master!" the guards outside the door immediately greeted him politely.
"Open the door, I want to go in."
"Second Young Master, Master Fang said that nobody is allowed to go in..."
"Open the door!” Fang Xia's expression darkened as he shouted authoritatively. "Don't you understand what I just said?"
The guards hesitated for a while and didn't dare to argue anymore. They immediately opened the metal gate.
Fang Xia glanced at them and scoffed quietly.
Besides Fang Wei, Fang Xia's position in the family was the highest. After he had come back with one page of the manual, he had become the biggest contributor to the family.
He walked in with large strides until he reached the end of the cave.
Fang Ran continued to sit in front of the dressing table in the room right at the end, as if He Daoren hadn't died.
She continued to hope that she might see him, and that he would see the prettiest side of her.
"Aunt Ran," greeted Fang Xia.
Ever since Fang Ran was imprisoned here twenty years ago, he never came to see her.
Anyone who went near to Fang Ran might be punished severely by Fang Wei!
Fang Ran ignored him.
It was as if she hadn't heard him at all.
Fang Xia opened the door, walked in and sighed.
"Aunt Ran, Fang Xia is here to see you."
Fang Ran didn't turn back and just calmly replied, "Fang Xia? Why are you here?"
Twenty years ago, the little boy who called her 'Aunt Ran' was only ten years old. Now that Fang Xia was thirty, she didn't know him anymore.
"I didn't come to see you for the past twenty years, but I don't think I need to explain too much. You know the clan rules better than I do. I was just a lowly member of the Fang family and I didn't dare to cross the line," said Fang Xia.
Fang Ran scoffed and sounded like she was mocking him.
Of course she knew the clan rules.
"But now, everything is different," said Fang Xia. "Twenty years! I've taken twenty years to become the future head of the Fang family, so I can see you now."
He took a deep breath. "Aunt Ran, not only can I come to visit you, but I'm also going to think of a way to get you out!"
Fang Ran's shoulders trembled at this and she turned around.
She looked at Fang Xia before her. He looked very strange to her.
His facial features still looked similar, but his gaze was no longer as clear as they used to be.
"Get me out of here?" She laughed and got up from the chair. "Don't you know that I've gone against the clan rules and your father has imprisoned me here for twenty years, and I'm not allowed to leave this place?"
"Those are his orders," said Fang Xia. "Not mine."
"And how do you intend to do this?"
Fang Ran felt like she had just heard a joke. It was hilarious, and she didn't hide any of the mockery in her voice.
How could she possibly believe this family?
If she wanted to leave, she would have left with Jiang Ning the last time. Why would she need him to rescue her?
"Cooperate with Jiang Ning and get you
out," whispered Fang Xia.
Fang Ran froze.
"Aunt Ran, Jiang Ning has already tried to think of a way to resolve your worries. The most important thing now is to get you out of here and leave this dangerous place!"
Fang Ran looked in disbelief at Fang Xia. She found it hard to believe that Fang Xia would say something like this.
