In the room, Li Xue was lying beside the bed, looking haggard, and her face was stained with dried tears.
Compared to her, Xu Yue seemed much calmer, sitting on the sofa with a calm expression.
From last night to now, they have been locked up here. Not only did those people not give them food, they didn't even bring a drop of water.
I don’t know how long it took, but someone opened the door to the room.
Li Xue stood up suddenly, keeping alert: "What do you want to do again!"
The man who came in said nothing, just grabbed her arm and walked out.
Li Xue struggled desperately: "Let me go! Let me go!"
Xu Yue stood up and said coldly: "Are you bandits? Is this what Zhou Cheng usually asks you to do?"
The man heard her calling Mr. Zhou by his first name and knew who she was. He paused, seemed to hesitate, and then let go of Li Xue.
Li Xue was trembling with fear, and immediately hid behind Xu Yue, holding tightly to the corner of her clothes.
The man said: "The young master is sick and crying non-stop. The master asked us to take her over."
Hearing this, Li Xue was startled. Just as she was about to step forward and tell them to go, Xu Yue grabbed her hand.
Xu Yue said: "I have always taken care of the child. It will be useless if she goes away."
The man hesitated a little and didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.
Xu Yue continued: "Let her stay here, I will go over."
"But what the master told me is..."
"If he doesn't agree, you can ask him to come to me, as long as he dares to see me."
Seeing her momentum, the man didn't dare to neglect her: "Then I'll ask the master."
"stop."
Xu Yue said, "Send some food and water over here. Three meals a day must be delivered on time. We are not your prisoners."
The man nodded and left quickly.
After he left, Xu Yue closed the door and whispered to Li Xue: "After I go there, you have to be careful by yourself. Their target is me and the child, and they won't do anything to you."
Li Xue held her hand and cried anxiously: "Aunt Xu, I can't let you go to such a dangerous place, I..."
Xu Yue said: "Don't worry, I am sensible. The little guy is still there. I am his grandma. I will go to any dangerous place."
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been brought here..."
"Now is not the time to blame yourself. Let's wait until we leave here to talk about anything else."
On the other side, Mr. Zhou frowned as he listened to the report from his subordinates. He thought for a while and then said, "Just do as she said."
The man responded and left.
Mr. Zhou took another look at the crying little guy who had fallen asleep, and walked out of the backyard with a cane.
When the man returned, he brought food and water.
Xu Yue drank some water and was not in the mood to eat, so she asked the man to take her to the little guy's place.
Li Xue looked at her back and gritted her teeth secretly. Aunt Xu was right. No matter what the situation was, she had to leave here first.
She still had to tell Mr. Zhou that Aunt Xu and the child were here.
Li Xue wiped the tears from her face and started eating.
Only when you regain your strength can you find a way to leave.
…
The moment she saw the child, Xu Yuexuan's heart finally dropped after a day and night. She went up to check on the little guy's condition, and then asked the nanny next to her to confirm that he just had a fever, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
It didn't take long for the little guy to wake up. He opened his eyes and saw Xu Yue beside him. He just pursed his lips and looked aggrieved, but he didn't cry.
Xu Yue picked him up and put the bottle handed over by the nanny into his mouth.
The little guy must be very hungry, holding the bottle and drinking heavily.
Soon, the half bottle of milk was empty.
Xu Yue hugged him and walked around the room for a while. The little guy fell asleep again, clutching her clothes tightly.
The nanny stepped forward and wanted to take the child back: "Give it to me."
Xu Yue turned aside, frowned and said coldly: "Don't touch him."
The nanny could only retreat again.
After the little guy fell asleep, Xu Yue put him on the crib and stayed by his side without taking another step away. Except for the doctor, no one from the Zhou family was allowed to get close to him.
…
In a black Rolls Royce, Lin Nan looked at all the photos uploaded on his phone: "Mr. Zhou, they have all been sorted."
Zhou Ci closed his eyes deeply and hummed: "Bring it to her for confirmation. After confirmation, try to find a way to find the person and ask for the specific location."
"yes."
Lin Nan was silent and then said: "Mr. Zhou, my wife asked you this afternoon. I said you were in a meeting to deal with some small matters in the company."
Zhou Cishen slowly opened his eyes: "What else did you say?"
"It's nothing. Madam probably didn't want to disturb you, so she didn't ask any questions."
"Where is she now?"
"I went back to the studio in the afternoon, and now I'm going to have dinner with my friends."
Zhou Cishen pursed his thin lips, and after a few seconds said, "You take their car back to the company."
"OK."
Lin Nan slowed down and pulled over.
After Lin Nan got out of the car, other subordinates came over immediately and got into the driver's seat.
Zhou Cishen took out her cell phone and dialed Ruan Xingwan's number. She didn't answer the call until the ringing was about to end.
Ruan Xingwan said: "Hello?"
Her place is a bit noisy and lively.
Zhou Cishen said slowly: "What are you eating?"
"Shanshan and I are having hot pot together, and Daniel, are you done?"
Zhou Ci pressed his temples deeply: "I just finished the meeting."
Ruan Xingwan said: "Then when will you go home? If it's too late, I will come find you later."
She seemed to have been stung, and she was gasping for breath while speaking.
Zhou Cishen could imagine what her expression would be like at this time through the phone.
The corners of his lips curled up: "No need."
"Are you leaving now?"
"Well, I'm coming to find you."
Zhou Cishen looked out the window, "I want to eat hot pot."
Ruan Xingwan answered readily: "Okay, then I will send you the address and you can come over."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Xingwan's message was sent within two seconds.
Zhou Ci closed his eyes deeply, and there was no expression or warmth on his stern features.
Half an hour later, the black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the hot pot restaurant.
The subordinate said: "Mr. Zhou, here we are."
Zhou Cishen looked out the window, and when he was about to get off the car, he happened to see Ruan Xingwan and the others sitting by the window.
She didn't know what she was talking to Pei Shanshan, her face turned red from the heat, her smile was bright and bright, and she was filled with happiness everywhere.
It seemed like he hadn't seen her smile like this for a long time.
Zhou Cishen was a little lost and didn't know what he was thinking.
A few minutes later, the subordinate's voice came again: "Mr. Zhou?"
