After hanging up the phone, Leng Yanshan saw that Mr. Jiang had a sad face, so he stopped smiling and said, "It's an illegitimate child, so what? At least you can see such a big great-grandson in your lifetime, not bad."

He poked the cane in his hand on the floor in a domineering manner, "Go to hell with your illegitimate child. That child was born to my Jiang family's legitimate wife."

Marry in a formal way...

Leng Yanshan thought to himself, hasn't that daughter-in-law been gone for several years, and I haven't heard that she has any children.

Before he showed his true feelings, Mr. Jiang spoke again, "Can someone from your Leng family do it? How long will it take to find someone? If anything happens to my baby, I will break off all ties with you and your Leng family!"

Leng Yanshan could see that Mr. Jiang was really anxious, and he didn't want to provoke him, so he just said, "It's only been less than an hour. Why are you so anxious? You are just a child with a temper, and you are breaking up with him. Can you calm down?"

Mr. Jiang knew the strength of the Leng family, but he had never seen his great-grandson. How could he lose his treasure before he could even get it back? If he caught the man who was so bold, he would beat him to death with his cane.

Inside the house, neither Su Zimu nor Jiang Huaizhou spoke, only the occasional ringing of cell phones could be heard.

This time it was Gu Xiaochen.

"Speak." Jiang Huaizhou said briefly.

The first thing Gu Xiaochen said was: "Huaizhou, I'm sorry."

Hearing this, Jiang Huaizhou's brows furrowed quickly, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously, "What's the matter?"

Gu Xiaochen sighed inaudibly, "Ye Jingshu is gone."

His heart skipped a beat, and Jiang Huaizhou tried to remain calm, "Explain clearly."

"I just found out too. A week ago, Yaoyao secretly went to see Ye Jingshu. Later, I don't know what method Ye Jingshu used, but she must have run away secretly."

Ye Jingshu ran away? When Nic disappeared?

It's hard not to think of something.

Jiang Huaizhou glanced at Su Zimu secretly, "Have you found the person?"

"Not yet." Gu Xiaochen answered truthfully, "He has probably left Huacheng. There is no entry or exit record. He may have sneaked out."

Ye Jingshu ran away, Nic was lost, Ye Boyao died...

His thoughts were a little confused for a moment, and Jiang Huaizhou couldn't hear what Gu Xiaochen said. He hung up the phone in frustration.

Su Zimu was sitting nearby. Although he knew that it was not about Nic, he understood that someone was missing and asked with concern, "Who is missing?"

Jiang Huaizhou's eyes were full of heartache. He was afraid that saying those three words would bring her secondary harm. He pursed his lips tightly and squeezed out three words after a long time: "Ye Jingshu."

Sure enough, as soon as these three words came out, panic quickly flashed in Su Zimu's eyes, but more of it was fear. The scar on his face seemed to be cut again, and it felt hot.

Jiang Huaizhou held her in his arms and said, "Don't be afraid. I will never let her hurt you again."

Su Zimu suddenly broke free from his arms, with a look of horror on her face, "She's missing, Nic is lost, do you think...?"

Nic fell into Ye Jingshu's hands?

Jiang Huaizhou had thought about this possibility, but he couldn't lose his composure at this moment. He held her hand calmly and said, "Even if it's her, she has to consider her own weight."

"She's crazy." Su Zimu thought more and more frightened, "She hates me. She knows Nic is my child, so she will definitely not show mercy. She's crazy!"

She was going crazy, and even decided that it was Ye Jingshu who took Nic away, and maybe she was torturing him. Thinking of this, tears fell uncontrollably.

Just when he was feeling sad, Su Zimu received a call on his cell phone and the person on the screen was Dr. Pei.

She wiped her tears, calmed herself down and pressed the answer button.

"Mu Mu, I'm sorry. I was performing surgery on a patient just now. Are you okay?" Pei Yue's slightly tired voice came. As soon as he came out of the operating room, he saw so many calls from Su Zimu on his mobile phone, so he quickly replied one.

When people are at their most vulnerable and helpless, what they fear most is the sudden kind concern of others. But she had doubted Pei Yue at the beginning, and thought so badly of him, which was really unworthy of the word friend.

Shame and warmth surged in his heart, and he could no longer hold back his tears. Su Zimu sniffed and said, "It's okay. Take care of yourself."

Pei Yue could tell something was wrong with her voice, "Are you really okay?"

"Yeah." Su Zimu was about to say something when he heard Jiang Huaizhou say three words: Found it.

Su Zimu found an excuse to hastily hang up the phone, and she stood up to go out, but Jiang Huaizhou stopped her and said, "Take your coat."

The two of them grabbed their coats and car keys and got into the car, following the location.

Leng Mengmeng called just now and said that the car that picked up Nic was found on a path next to the forest in the suburbs, but there was no one in the car. She estimated that the person should be in the forest, and she has sent people to search for him.

Along the way, neither of them spoke. Jiang Huaizhou stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, wishing he could fly there immediately and find Nic as soon as possible. Su Zimu did the same, secretly holding the phone with force, praying that Nic was safe.

In the middle of the call, Gu Manyao called. Su Zimu hesitated for a few seconds but still answered the call.

"Mumu, I'm sorry..."

Gu Manyao cried, "I really didn't mean it. I... I just knew you were still alive, and I was so happy. I forgot myself when I was happy. I wanted to show off and give Ye Jingshu a hard time. I just didn't expect that woman to be so resourceful and even escape from the mental hospital..."

She cried even harder as she spoke, "You said she could run away so let her run away, why did she want to harm Nic... If anything happened to Nic, I would have no face to live..."

When Su Zimu mentioned Nic, and thought of Nic being taken away by Ye Jingshu, his heart was filled with uncontrollable pain and anxiety.

Su Zimu concealed most of his emotions and said without showing any joy or anger: "Forget it, it has already happened. Besides, we still don't know if it was her who took Nic away, so don't blame yourself too much."

It must be said that Su Zimu's words reduced Gu Manyao's guilt. She sobbed softly, "You really don't blame me?"

"I……"

Before he could finish his words, the person next to him spoke up without allowing any arguments: "Gu Manyao, if Nic is in trouble because of Ye Jingshu, then you are on your own."

The phone was not on speakerphone, and when Jiang Huaizhou's voice came through the microphone, the decibel was already very low. However, Gu Manyao heard every word of his words without missing a single one. Gu Manyao paused and even forgot to cry.

After hanging up the phone, Su Zimu sighed, "She didn't mean it, why bother scaring her?"

Jiang Huaizhou's eyes were full of anger. He said without looking away, "Hasn't she caused enough trouble? If she is not smart, she should just stay at home. Who would she cause trouble if she came out?"

Su Zimu saw his anxiety and comforted him softly, "I believe Nic will be safe." She not only believed it, she prayed to God in her heart all the way. She was even willing to exchange her life for Nic's safety.
