"When things were urgent at that time, I was in a hurry to chase someone, so I didn't have time to inform you. By the time I had a moment to spare, Ye Ziru had already been rescued. You should go back and check on the child when you have the chance!"
"I am already at home." After pausing for a few seconds, Ye Zixun continued to ask, "Grandpa, he asked you about the kidnapping. Why didn't you tell him?"
"Because the situation is too complicated, and I can't explain it clearly right now, so it's not convenient. It's better to choose another time to discuss this matter slowly."
"Anyway, Ye Ziru has returned safely, so you should spend some quality time with her."
Is it really like that?
Hearing his words, Ye Zixun was not convinced.
"Then your matters should be settled now, right? I don't care about the means and process of kidnapping Ye Ziru, and I don't want to know the outcome. I just want you to tell me who it is. Who took my daughter?"
On the other end of the phone, Gu Feng glanced at the hospital bed not far away and after a long while said in a deep voice, "Now is really not a convenient time for this matter. How about we find a time tomorrow to discuss it properly?"
"Okay! Send me the address tomorrow." After finishing, Ye Zixun hung up the phone.
That's fine; face-to-face conversation will clarify things better.
Ye Zixun put away his phone and immediately went to see his daughter who had just returned home.
"Ye Ziru!"
As soon as he opened the door and walked into the room, Ye Ziru, lying on the bed, lifted the blanket and ran towards Ye Zixun excitedly.
She affectionately hugged Ye Zixun's legs with a cute expression and said playfully, "Daddy, Ye Ziru misses Daddy so much."
Hearing his daughter's familiar voice, Ye Zixun immediately crouched down and picked her up from the ground. "Ye Ziru, be good. It's Daddy's fault for not watching over you."
"Daddy? Why does Daddy say that? Ye Ziru is fine! The auntie played games with Ye Ziru, and Ye Ziru was so happy. But, Ye Ziru hasn't seen brother and Daddy for a long time, and still misses Daddy a lot."
"Why does it seem like after not seeing Daddy for a while, your demeanor has changed completely?"
"Daddy has been thinking about Ye Ziru too much and couldn't sleep, so he looks a bit messy. Don't worry, Daddy will be back to how he used to be soon!" Ye Zixun said, then gently poked Ye Ziru's face with his stubble.
She laughed as he poked her: "It tickles! Daddy is so naughty!"
"Ye Ziru, was the auntie playing with you just now?"
So the kidnapper is a woman?
After hearing a clue from his daughter, he felt that things were not looking good. Ye Zixun furrowed his brows deeper and asked while holding Ye Ziru, "Who is that auntie? Do you know her?"
"I don't know!" She shook her head and answered while hugging Ye Zixun's neck.
Ye Ziru remembered Uncle Gu Feng's words: if she didn't behave, Mommy wouldn't see her anymore. Ye Ziru wanted to see Mommy, so she had to lie to Ye Zixun.
"Daddy, Daddy, Ye Ziru really misses you! Ye Ziru really wants Daddy!" Ye Ziru was also a smart child; realizing she might have said something wrong, she immediately cuddled up to Ye Zixun and acted cute.
Ye Zixun affectionately held his daughter. On one hand, he enjoyed the closeness with Ye Ziru; on the other hand, he felt a strong interest in the auntie mentioned by his daughter.
He wasn't a fool; how could he accept such a reason?
Kidnapping his daughter just to play games? No one would believe such nonsense—not even a madman.
That person must have some kind of purpose...
Ye Zixun narrowed his eyes; this matter absolutely cannot be let go.
"Ye Ziru, are you tired? Do you want to take a break?" Ye Zimu looked at the time and saw Ye Ziru and Ye Zixun being all affectionate, causing her to pout.
Mommy has become his, but at least her sister should still belong to Ye Zimu. She can't let everything be taken away by this stinky dad.
brother Mu opened his arms and forcibly pulled Ye Ziru from Ye Zixun's embrace, holding her tightly while looking at Ye Zixun with hostility. "Daddy, you should take a good bath before hugging Ye Ziru. Daddy, you need to keep yourself clean and proper!"
Stinky Kid, if you want to monopolize Ye Ziru, just do it directly instead of using keeping yourself clean as an excuse.
"Ye Ziru, brother will take you to sleep, let's go take a bath together!"
Are these two siblings really okay...?
Secondly, Gu Feng and Ye Zixun agreed to meet at Luca Coffee House.
The waiter brought coffee to the two and politely left.
Ye Zixun didn't want to drink any coffee right now and had no intention of beating around the bush with Gu Feng.
He only wanted to know one thing: who kidnapped his daughter?
"Gu Feng, tell me who did it?"
"Does it matter who did it?" Gu Feng's expression was indifferent, as if this matter had never happened.
Ye Zixun sneered, "Is it not important? My own daughter has been kidnapped; shouldn't we drag that damned kidnapper out and punish him properly?"
"If these guys dared to kidnap Ye Ziru today, next time they might target brother Mu and others. Leaving them be is a disaster waiting to happen."
"Of course it's very important. Gu Feng, I hope you can tell me who did all this, who exactly kidnapped my daughter."
"The child shouldn't be lying. You should go back and ask your daughter properly; I think you'll get the answers you need." Gu Feng pushed everything onto the child, knowing full well that he wouldn't find any answers from Ye Ziru.
Ye Zixun didn't believe Ye Ziru's claim that an aunt took her out to play, but one thing was certain: it was definitely a woman who took Ye Ziru. "Ye Ziru said there was an aunt who took her out to play, but do you think I would believe such nonsense? Tell me the truth, don't make me ask again."
"The truth?" Gu Feng shrugged as if indifferent and said, "Fine, if you want to know the truth, I'll tell you. Yes, someone did kidnap Ye Ziru, but I've already dealt with that person. After dealing with them, I had them disposed of in the sea. Now do you have any questions?"
Disposed of in the sea?
Did Gu Feng think he was a fool? How could he believe what he just said?
How could he handle the kidnapper of his own child without seeking his consent first? Gu Feng had always acted with discretion; thus, Ye Zixun couldn't believe he would do such a thing.
"Gu Feng, can you be honest?" Ye Zixun raised an eyebrow, wearing a skeptical smile.
"Otherwise, what do you think I would do?" Gu Feng smirked slightly, "Don't pretend like you know me so well, okay?"
With that, Gu Feng stood up, one hand in his pocket and the other patting Ye Zixun on the shoulder. "Alright, I've told you all the answers you wanted to know; now can I leave?"
Ye Zixun's eyes darkened as he watched Gu Feng's retreating figure.
Keeping Gu Feng here was pointless; he clearly had no intention of telling the truth. Even if he were to stay and continue questioning him, it was unlikely he would get the answers he sought.
This child has become increasingly mysterious, even refusing to reveal anything about himself.
Alright, Gu Feng, you think you're the only one with informants? You underestimate me; I, Ye Zixun, will definitely uncover the truth.
I won't rest until I find that damned mastermind behind it all.
"Sister Lan, the patient is lying right in front of us." The Nurse finally managed to push Lan Baobao to the entrance of the Intensive Care Unit.
Lan Baobao was not disabled; she was just very weak, so being pushed like this was indeed much more convenient.
Lan Baobao calmly looked at the door of the Intensive Care Unit, her calmness almost unsettling.
"Push me inside!"
"But this is the Intensive Care Unit; it doesn't seem very convenient."
"Even if it's the Intensive Care Unit, there are times when family members are allowed to visit, right? It should be time now."
Upon hearing Lan Baobao's words, the Nurse immediately pushed Lan Baobao into the Intensive Care Unit.
As soon as Lan Baobao entered the ward, she saw nurses checking on Mu Jiangfeng. When her gaze shifted to the bed, she saw Mu Jiangfeng lying there, covered in various tubes. Except for his eyes and facial features, every part of him that could be wrapped in bandages was covered. He wore an oxygen mask over his mouth.
Next to the bed were several machines; Lan Baobao didn't know what these machines were for but understood that without them, Mu Jiangfeng might not survive.
When she had seen Mu Jiangfeng earlier, he had been full of life, but now he seemed so fragile, as if he could disappear at any moment.
"Hey, who are you? The Intensive Care Unit doesn't allow random entry!" The Nurse said upon seeing Lan Baobao and then put down the medical records.
Sitting in the wheelchair, Lan Baobao finally reacted. She smiled and said, "I am a friend of Mu Jiangfeng. We were both sent to the hospital due to a car accident."
"Oh, I see. You are the patient's friend. Then you can go in and see him. It's good to talk to the patient, but remember, please don't speak too loudly; it might disturb others," the Nurse smiled and then went to check on other wards.
The Nursing staff slowly pushed Lan Baobao to the bedside. She noticed that the relationship between Lan Baobao and the patient must be quite special; otherwise, they wouldn't have both been injured so badly and still come to see the patient in bed.
"Sister Lan, I'll wait for you outside," the Nursing staff said politely to Lan Baobao before stepping out of the ward.
Lan Baobao looked at Mu Jiangfeng, her face growing paler.
"Mu Jiangfeng, when will you wake up?"
Meanwhile, Gu Feng rushed back to the hospital after parting ways with Ye Zixun.
However, upon entering the ward, he found that Lan Baobao was not there, and even the Nursing staff was absent. What had happened?
Where did they go? Where could they possibly be?
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. Gu Feng dashed out and grabbed a passing nurse.
