Chapter 301 Men's Tacit Understanding
Siyi knew her son well. Although Beibei was lively and active, he wasn't the kind of child who lacked manners; when they were out, he would never stray more than ten steps away from her. Besides, the garden was only so small; they could see everything clearly from the hall, and there was no sign of the child. If Ye Zhenghao had something to do, he should have brought the child up already, but he hadn't, and he wasn't here either…
Siyi felt a pang of panic. In fact, so many things had happened in the past few days, and she had finally found a sense of security in Jiang Yanhui. Her restless heart had just settled down, and now that she had suddenly not seen her child, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
Jiang Yan was much calmer than her. She gently took her hand and said softly, "Don't worry, let's go take a look. Maybe your older brother had something to do, so he had someone send him up first, or maybe he's gone off to play somewhere else. This hotel is very big, and as far as I know, there's a children's playground downstairs. Many children go there to play, and Beibei might be there."
“No!” Siyi shook her head decisively. She said firmly, “Beibei has never liked going to those kinds of places. He only goes there occasionally when he’s with Tiantian. He’s not particularly interested in those things.”
"Don't worry, let's go ask your older brother first." They didn't go to the children's playground, and they didn't run into him on their way down. Jiang Yan, a meticulous person, recalled what happened at the hospital yesterday. Lin Zhenbiao's threatening voice still echoed in his ears, and his heart tightened. A vague sense of unease had already crept in, but he knew he couldn't show it now. Sisi cared too much about those two children; any problem with either of them would be enough to break her!
Therefore, before things are certain, he absolutely cannot lose his composure; he must be even calmer than her!
"Ye Zhenghao, you're still trying to deny it! The day you sent someone to take me home, you had someone tamper with my house! How could you do this to me?!"
"I don't know what you're talking about! Let me tell you, if your dad really did it, then no one can save him!"
"Ye Zhenghao, just tell me, are you going to help me or not?"
"All I can do is not disgrace my current position. I'm sorry, I can't help you. This matter has already entered the legal process, and it's not something I can decide on my own."
.........
As the two approached, they heard a heated argument between a man and a woman. Siyi, completely focused on Beibei, had no time to notice who the woman standing in front of Ye Zhenghao was. She strode towards Ye Zhenghao, calling out, "Big Brother..."
"Siyi." Seeing Siyi's nervous expression, Ye Zhenghao bypassed Nan Qingshu and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Where's Beibei? Big brother, isn't Beibei with you?"
"Yes, he was with me. He was right next to me..." Ye Zhenghao said, turning around. His finger was pointing in the direction he was pointing, but there was no one behind him. His eyes darkened, and he let go of Siyi and ran over, but Beibei was nowhere to be seen in the entire garden.
“Siyi…he really was right here just now…” Ye Zhenghao was extremely annoyed, his eyes lowered so he didn’t dare to look Siyi in the eye.
He brought Beibei downstairs; the little guy kept saying he wanted to go for a walk. Seeing Siyi packing her things, he decided to bring Beibei along. But not long after, they ran into Nan Qingshu. She had probably come all the way from City A. As soon as she saw him and Beibei, she immediately demanded to know if they were his children. The two of them inexplicably started arguing. Finally, they got to the point: Nan Qingshu's father had gotten into trouble, and Nan Qingshu naturally suspected Ye Zhenghao. Their argument escalated, and the ever-cautious Ye Zhenghao couldn't believe that a five-year-old boy could simply disappear in a hotel!
He's supposed to be a policeman, how could he not even take care of his own nephew? How could he let him disappear right under his nose?
"Siyi, I'm sorry, I..."
"Big brother, stop talking, let's find him first, he might be nearby." Siyi waved her hand, clutching her head, and urgently interrupted Ye Zhenghao.
She was panicking terribly. Bei Bei had suddenly disappeared like this; it was unprecedented. And yet, coincidentally, the reporter incident had just happened, and now he was gone. The only thing Si Yi could think of was that someone was after Bei Bei—
Kidnapping and extortion are the words that have appeared most frequently in her mind so far.
"Was that little boy your child?" Nan Qingshu finally realized that the little boy she saw as soon as she came in was actually Ye Siyi's son!
No wonder she vaguely felt that the child looked like someone she knew, but couldn't remember for a moment. Of course, it was mostly because she was so angry that she saw the two of them, one big and one small, walking hand in hand so intimately, and naturally thought of that person. But she didn't expect that she had really misunderstood!
But he could have explained it just now, so why didn't he?
"Qingshu." Jiang Yan walked up at this moment, glanced at Ye Zhenghao, but spoke to Nan Qingshu, "We can talk about this later. Let's go find the child first. You should still remember what that little boy looked like, right?"
"I remember!" Nan Qingshu felt that if Beibei was really lost, she would also need to take responsibility. She had just come in and started cursing, which probably frightened the child. Then she kept arguing with Ye Zhenghao and didn't even realize that the child was missing. She felt very guilty. "Brother Yan Hui, I'm so sorry. I really didn't know that was your child. I... I'll go find him right away. What's his name?"
"Ye Youbei." Jiang Yanhui told Nan Qingshu the name, and the girl disappeared in a flash. He glanced at Ye Zhenghao again, and the two men's eyes met in the air. This time, there was no confrontation, but rather an unspoken understanding, as if they were exchanging some information. Finally, Jiang Yanhui said to Siyi, "Sisi, go check the children's playground on the basement floor. Whether Beibei likes playing there or not, we have to look everywhere. Your older brother and I will go upstairs to check. There are definitely surveillance cameras in the security room. Don't worry, our son will be fine."
Siyi was already in a state of utter confusion. Only after hearing Jiang Yanhui's words did she belatedly nod in agreement, and then stumbled and staggered to find the basement as Jiang Yanhui had instructed.
Once Si Yi left, a hint of hostility gradually crept onto Jiang Yan's face. His peach blossom eyes were now devoid of any warmth, filled only with a chilling light. With his hands in his pockets, he made no attempt to conceal the cold aura emanating from him, and directly asked Ye Zhenghao, "Think about whether there was anything unusual just now?"
Having been a policeman for over a decade, Ye Zhenghao naturally possessed this level of vigilance. He had genuinely been negligent just now, and he felt extremely guilty. When asked, he tried to recall the situation seriously, but still came up empty-handed.
He shook his head in frustration, his voice low and somber. "This was my oversight. I think he's probably no longer in this hotel."
Jiang Yan reached out and pressed her aching forehead, saying in a deep voice, "If someone really took Beibei away, I can guess who it was. But without any evidence, even if I openly go to demand her, it will probably be in vain. I'm going upstairs to find the hotel owner now and pull up all the surveillance footage. Hopefully, we'll find something then."
“Jiang Yan, if you need my help, just ask.” It was rare for two men who were usually at odds to stand on the same side. “This was my oversight. I’m really sorry. I will do my best to find Beibei.”
Jiang Yan merely twitched the corner of his mouth and didn't say much. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, turned to Ye Zhenghao and said, "Don't let Sisi know about this for now. Keep it from her for as long as possible. I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it. At least we can't let her know that she was kidnapped."
Ye Zhenghao shook his head sadly, "We can't hide it for long. Siyi's mind isn't as shallow as you think. She's a lawyer for a reason. I guarantee that once she comes out of the children's playground, she'll be able to guess that Beibei has been kidnapped."
Jiang Yan's headache worsened; his temples throbbed as if someone were hammering him repeatedly. Thinking of Si Yi's pale, bloodless face, his heart ached even more. He always said he wouldn't let her suffer even the slightest harm again, but why couldn't he keep his word?
damn it!
His eyes were a little hot, and his voice was low and hoarse, but he said firmly, word by word, "Alright, we will do our best to find Beibei and we absolutely cannot let anything happen to him."
-
When Beibei woke up, she felt something was wrong.
He was with his uncle when a pretty aunt rushed in and started yelling at his uncle. She even pointed at him and asked if he was his uncle's son. He was about to explain that he wasn't his uncle's son when his uncle started arguing with the aunt before he could.
As the two were arguing heatedly, he realized someone had hugged him from behind. He tried to scream, but his mouth was covered. And then…
He couldn't remember anything at all...
This is where?
