-Meixi, don’t be rash. The police haven’t finalized the case yet. Who knows, there might be a reversal later?” Yin Shuhui quickly advised, “Don’t act impulsively.”
Xu Meixi did not say anything and only stared at the baby in the swaddling clothes. “The baby is so cute. Can I hold him?”
Sang Qianqian was slightly startled, but then she smiled and said, “Of course,” Xu Meixi carefully picked up the child and refused to put him down for a long time. It was not until the nurse came in and said that it was time for the baby to bathe that she reluctantly handed him to the nursery nurse. She looked much calmer now. After chatting with Sang Qianqian for a while, she returned to the ward.
Yin Shuhui didn’t leave. “Are you done talking to Xie Shi an?
Sang Qianqian nodded.
“When do you plan to tell President Shen?”
Yin Shuhui asked, “I saw online reports that President Shen is being monitored by the police. He can’t even talk freely and will be monitored. However, wasn’t Miss Fang Lan there too? You can call her and ask her to pa.s.s on the message.”
Sang Qianqian shook her head. “There’s no rush.” She had already thought about this question. “I was thinking that when I’m discharged and Uncle Shen wakes up, we’ll bring the child to A Country to look for him.”
Many things could only be said clearly in person.
“President Shen will be very happy to see Uncle Shen.”
Yin Shuhui smiled and said, “Then, when he sees his wife and chubby son, he
might even be ecstatic.”
“He might not be willing to forgive me.”
Sang Qianqian was worried. She had lied to him for so long, and she even went to all kinds of public places with Xie Shi’an as husband and wife. How could Shen Hanyu pretend that nothing had happened?
“But you were forced. Ruan Xiaodie is the culprit, and none of it was your fault.
Moreover, you even saved Uncle Shen. As long as you and the child go back…”
Yin Shuhui said confidently, “President Shen will not mind.”
Sang Qianqian smiled bitterly. “I hope so.”
Perhaps, for the sake of Shen Shaofeng and the child, he really wouldn’t mind. However, if he was calculative…
The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. The nurse who had carried the child away earlier suddenly ran in, panting.
“Miss, Miss Sang!”
Seeing that there were only Sang Qianqian and Yin Shuhui in the room and that there was no sign of the child, the nurse was obviously frightened. She stuttered, “Child, isn’t the child back?”
Sang Qianqian’s heart suddenly stopped. “Didn’t you take the child to take a bath?”
The baby nurse was already crying. “Y-Your friend, Xu Meixi, suddenly came over and said that she wanted to see how the baby bathed. After washing up, she said that she would help me carry him for a while. I went to make milk for him, but she disappeared with the child!”
Sang Qianqian’s entire body trembled violently. Xu Meixi, what was she doing?
The hospital’s surveillance camera showed that Xu Meixi carried the child out of the hospital, got into a car at the entrance, and then disappeared into the traffic. The police data showed that the car was fake and could not be tracked at all.
Whether it was Xie Shi’an’s men or the police, it would take time to find out where Xu Meixi had gone.
Just as Sang Qianqian was anxiously waiting, her phone suddenly rang.
It was a message from an unknown number. There was an address and a sentence on it. “If you want Xu Meixi and your child to be safe, come alone.
Don’t tell anyone.”
Li Zhongjin held back his anger and rushed to the place Ruan Xiaodie mentioned.
This was an abandoned building complex in the suburbs. The Ruan family had once had a commercial real estate project here that cost a lot of money. However, with the family’s ruin, the project also came to an end. Xie Shi’an would take over a long time later, so it was unrealistic to start construction again.
Moreover, the investment was not worth it, so they temporarily shelved the project and readjusted the planning of the land. Those houses that had been built would naturally become unfinished buildings. What awaited them in the future would be the fate of being demolished.
The setting sun weakly sprinkled on these empty houses, adding a bit of desolation and coldness. On the open-air balcony on the third floor of one of the buildings, Ruan Xiaodie had her hair tied up in a bun and wore a long white dress that reached her ankles. She wore a yellow knitted sweater with flowers on it.
She was very comfortable bathing in the slowly fading sun and drinking a cup of iced coffee in a good mood. If it weren’t for the four or five bodyguards in black standing respectfully behind her with their hands by their sides, anyone who saw her appearance would probably think that she was just an innocent and charming girl.
Li Zhongjin didn’t know why she would choose this place to meet. He hurriedly got out of the car and spent a lot of effort to find this place. He was sweating profusely and looked extremely disheveled.
“The place Miss Ruan chose really wasn’t easy to find.”
Ruan Xiaodie elegantly took a sip of her coffee. “Of course, the place where the corpse was destroyed should not be known by too many people.
Li Zhongjin’s expression changed drastically. “What do you mean?
“Hehe, I was just joking.” Ruan Xiaodie smiled happily.
He was bewildered. He looked at the bodyguards behind Ruan Xiaodie and glanced at the dozen people he brought downstairs, his heart calming down a little. “Now, Miss Ruan, can you explain to me why my subordinate listened to Miss Ruan and took my place?”
“Seize the other party’s weakness and add enough money.
Ruan Xiaodie’s tone was light. “Even if it’s to take the blame, there will be
people fighting to do it.”
Hearing Ruan Xiaodie’s words, Li Zhongjin’s expression eased a little. However, his eyes were still vigilant. “You also want Zhen Group. Do you want to take it for yourself?”
“It’s very tiring to manage such a large corporation.”
Ruan Xiaodie laughed. “I’m not interested in Zhen Group.”
She was only interested in how to make the company fall apart, not to take it for herself.
However, Li Zhongjin obviously doubted her sincerity. “Why should I believe you?”
“If I really wanted Zhen Group, do you think you would still be able to get out of the police station?”
Ruan Xiaodie took a sip of coffee and said slowly. “Li Zhongjin, if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t even be able to enter that company.”
“That’s right.” Li Zhongjin was embarra.s.sed. “Then why did you ask me to sign that agreement?”
“If you’re not around, someone has to take care of the company.
Ruan Xiaodie glanced at him and chuckled. “Isn’t it reasonable for me to be your agent?”
He felt a chill down his spine. “What do you want?”
Ruan Xiaodie didn’t answer. Instead, she smiled and looked behind Li Zhongjin. “You’re finally here.”
It was a woman with bandages all over her face. She was holding a small swaddling cloth in her arms. The woman’s eyes were fixed on Li Zhongjin, shining with hatred.
“Who’S this?” Li Zhongjin felt like he was being stared at by a crazy beast that had lost its cub. He cried out involuntarily.
The woman sneered.. “Li Zhongjin, don’t you even recognize me?”
