It seemed that Ye Zixun had compromised. He understood the temperament of Mu Jiao'er very well; if he didn't meet her, she would cling to him relentlessly. If he continued to avoid her, eventually, Mu Jiao'er's calls would increase, and Ye Zixun estimated that he would be unable to resist the impulse to confront this damned woman directly.
One entanglement, quick resolution, to avoid being bothered by her later.
The kidnappers had not demanded a ransom up to this point, which puzzled the police, and even he was confused.
No ransom, no request to meet him, and no demands for him to do anything—just occasional simple messages. What kind of kidnapping was this?
Ye Zixun said helplessly, "Alright, I understand. We'll meet tonight at the Western restaurant in the venue. Is that okay?"
"Of course it's okay! I'll be waiting for you there, Zi Xun. Take your time with your work, and remember not to wear yourself out," Mu Jiao'er replied cheerfully upon hearing Ye Zixun's agreement.
The other end of the line had already coldly hung up, but Mu Jiao'er was still humming a tune in high spirits.
Ye Zixun's willingness to agree to go out with her during this busy and irritable time clearly indicated that he had feelings for her.
Mu Jiao'er glanced at Ye Ziru, who was sound asleep on the bed.
This girl increasingly resembled Lan Baobao. The more she looked at her, the more annoying she found it.
She had already given her enough medication today; when she went out later, she would handcuff her to the headboard and lock the door behind her. That should prevent any problems!
With everything prepared, Mu Jiao'er began to get ready with peace of mind.
On the other side, after Ye Zixun hung up the phone, he and his son exchanged glances, both looking at each other with evident displeasure.
“Stinky Kid, what are you looking at? You've never seen someone as handsome as your old man!”
“Cut it out, narcissist!” Brother Mu scoffed coldly, pouting in a way that was both sinister and reminiscent of a certain unscrupulous man.
“I’m asking you, at this time, are you still planning to go out and mess around? What about my sister?”
“Stinky Kid, if it weren't for you causing trouble, Ye Ziru wouldn't be missing. I'm just going out for a bit to deal with that troublesome woman and then I'll be back.”
“What if that woman doesn’t leave?” Brother Mu pressed on, determined to get a definitive answer from Ye Zixun.
Before marriage, this man had made three promises to her, ensuring he wouldn’t seek women outside. Yet later, with Mu Jiao'er, some inappropriate things still happened. Brother Mu didn’t believe a word he said.
Even though he was her father, how could he not have inherited any of Ye Zimu's good genes? What a failure of a product.
Brother Mu placed her hands on her hips and said, “Why do I feel like I can’t trust you at all? That Mu Jiao'er is looking for you at this time; it definitely won’t be anything good.”
“Whether it’s good or bad will only be known once I go. You stay home quietly and keep Grandpa company; don’t let him worry anymore!” Ye Zixun frowned, showing a rare serious expression.
Brother Mu fell silent.
Ye Zixun wasn’t his clueless mother; she should know exactly what she was doing right now.
“Got it, but don’t get too cocky!”
With that, Brother Mu left.
Aside from the matter of Ye Ziru, the situation with their mother also left him feeling very uneasy.
Mom, what on earth are you doing? It's been so long since you went out, and there's not a single word from you.
Ye Ziru has been kidnapped by someone else, and I can't even notify Mom.
However, if Mom knew about this, she would definitely be in a panic, and the situation would only get more chaotic. Thinking it over, it's probably best not to tell her.
But...
Mom, no matter where you are, you should at least leave us a message. Just disappearing like this is really worrying; it's so foolish.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Mu Jiao'er arrived at the Western restaurant where they often dined. To meet Ye Zixun, she spent the entire afternoon getting herself dressed up beautifully. The moment she appeared, she was sure to dazzle everyone.
To avoid making Ye Zixun wait, Mu Jiao'er left half an hour early. However, due to unexpected traffic that evening, she arrived just in time.
"Strange! Why hasn't Ye Zixun arrived yet?" She glanced at her watch and then checked her phone—no calls.
Ye Zixun has many flaws, but he is never late. Why is he late this time? Has he been played?
Just as she was questioning whether Ye Zixun would show up, he walked into the restaurant and approached her with the waiter leading the way.
"Ah! Zi Xun, you're here! I thought you had something to take care of tonight and wouldn't come," Mu Jiao'er said charmingly.
Ye Zixun looked haggard; he hadn't even taken care of his stubble before coming over.
His current appearance clashed entirely with the elegant music and ambiance of the place; he looked like a homeless man wearing a high-end suit.
However, his aura remained as good as ever. Even in such a disheveled state with stubble, he didn't look sloppy; instead, he resembled a melancholic and debonair man.
It seemed that there were some swallows resembling artists.
"Since I promised, I will definitely come. It shouldn't be too late now!" Ye Zixun sat down opposite Mu Jiao'er. After ordering, he watched her leave before turning back to Mu Jiao'er and said lightly, "You wanted to see me and have something to tell me. Now is the time; what do you want to say?"
"I..." Mu Jiao'er didn't want her purpose this time to become too obvious, so she could only come up with a vague excuse. In fact, there were reasons, but Mu Jiao'er hadn't thought it through clearly.
Now that Ye Zixun asked her, her heart suddenly panicked.
Knowing Ye Zixun's annoying temper and personality, if she didn't find a reason that could convince him, he wouldn't even pay for this meal and would just leave.
With no other choice, Mu Jiao'er could only play with her hair tips, flashing her alluring eyes and red lips, trying hard to create a little cleavage in front of Ye Zixun, swaying it intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing her flirtatious demeanor, Ye Zixun already knew that Mu Jiao'er was just looking for trouble again.
Even though she was a beautiful woman with a big chest but no brains, Ye Zixun had long since lost interest in her after having seen through her completely.
He had no interest in her seductive tactics at all.
Because Ye Zixun had already guessed it.
Mu Jiao'er spoke in a delicate tone, "Actually, I don't have anything very important to say. I'm just really worried about you."
"Mm!" He murmured softly, but Mu Jiao'er's purpose was already clear to him.
What else could there be besides these trivial matters?
Mu Jiao'er immediately showed a concerned expression, cautiously inquiring about Ye Zixun's situation at home, and softly said, "Zi Xun, you don't seem to be doing well. Are you okay?"
"Well, that's good."
Ye Zixun simply replied with a few words.
This woman really talks too much, repeating herself over and over again, yet she hasn't asked a single serious question.
Isn't it obvious when she sees him in person? He was so irritated that he hadn't even shaved, and he had hardly slept at all. Dark circles were already forming under his eyes. Couldn't this foolish woman see that?
She was truly annoying.
"I'm relieved to hear you're doing well," Mu Jiao'er hesitated for a moment, finally mustering the courage to ask tentatively, "Um... Zi Xun, have you found your daughter? Didn't you report it to the police? Have there been any leads?"
Leads? Ye Zixun had originally intended to take a sip from his glass, but upon hearing Mu Jiao'er's question, his gaze suddenly turned serious.
"There are no leads at all." After a long pause, Ye Zixun spoke in a calm voice.
This was the most frustrating thing to hear.
Mu Jiao'er really knew how to bring up the worst topics.
However, it was indeed strange that she was so concerned about Ye Ziru.
After picking up on a bit of information, Mu Jiao'er saw that she could extract more from Ye Zixun and immediately pressed on with her questioning: "The police have no leads, what about Gu Feng? Isn't Gu Feng helping with the search?"
Ye Zixun let out a deep sigh, his face showing much more helplessness.
He also wanted Gu Feng to find some leads.
Of course, Gu Feng was also very diligent. As soon as he heard that Ye Ziru was missing, without any conditions, he immediately mobilized all his resources to find her whereabouts.
However, after such a long time, there were no clues from Gu Feng's side at all, and he had no idea when he would be able to find the child.
He was even more uncertain whether the child would be able to return alive. If the child couldn't come back alive, how would he face Lan Baobao in the future?
Would she forgive him for his negligence? No, it was impossible!
Given Lan Baobao's personality, she would never forgive him. He already hated himself enough; if he found out that the child had died because of his negligence, how could he ever forgive himself?
Not only would Lan Baobao not forgive him, but Ye Zixun also could not forgive himself.
"Gu Feng has no clues yet, but I will definitely find my daughter. I will not let my daughter remain missing." His gaze suddenly became terrifying, as if he wanted to tear someone apart.
His voice dropped suddenly by eight degrees, colder than the winds of Antarctica, freezing everyone to the bone. "If I find out who did this, I will absolutely not let them go! I will skin that person alive!"
Mu Jiao'er trembled at the sight of his eyes; that chilling feeling seemed to pierce her bones. It truly felt as if he would freeze her to death if he didn't stop.
