"Just stay at home and take care of your baby. Be obedient."

Zhou Xingze gently stroked Ruan Xiaotang's unprotruding belly, his eyes full of concern and tenderness.

"Yes, sister-in-law, just listen to your brother. There are a lot of viruses in this hospital, so don't go to the hospital all the time. My sister-in-law and I take care of your mother-in-law's daily eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, so just stay at home and take care of your pregnancy, and don't worry about anything."

Meimei on the side quickly agreed.

"well……"

Ruan Xiaotang nodded gently, her eyes looking a little lonely.

At this moment, she stood alone in the deserted yard, feeling mixed emotions.

She also wanted to stand up at this critical moment and contribute her own strength to everyone.

It’s a pity that she is pregnant now, so she is powerless even if she wants to.

She sighed secretly and thought: Never mind, in this situation, I must not cause more trouble for my family. So, she gritted her teeth and decided to listen to her family's arrangements and stay at home obediently.

……………………

Fang Borao was sitting upright in front of Zhou Xingze.

He said sincerely, "Cousin, in my opinion, we should quickly find a way to bring sister Jingjing home! Now is not the time to be angry. The most urgent thing is to stop the loss in time."

After saying that, he stared at Zhou Xingze intently, waiting for his response.

As the old saying goes, a harmonious family brings prosperity.

My aunt was harsh in her words, but in fact, she was more worried about her daughter than anyone else, and she wanted her daughter to come home soon more than anyone else.

The reason for losing is that I have a stubborn mouth and never give in even when I am right.

Zhou Xingze raised his head and put down the pen in his hand. "I went to the factory where Jingjing worked to inquire early this morning. The manager of the factory said that she submitted her resignation report two days ago. So what happened last night was premeditated and it was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision. That damn girl had already made up her mind and had made a foolproof plan. This city is so big, where can I find her?"

Zhou Xingze rubbed his swollen brows in disappointment.

This unscrupulous girl is really a headache.

His mind was in a mess and he couldn't think of any solution.

Fang Borao said, "I've asked the police to find the home address of Zhao Xiaohu. It's impossible for them to rent a house in a short period of time. I think it's very likely that Jingjing lives in Zhao Xiaohu's home. We go now and catch her off guard."

"Okay, let's go now."

………………

Zhou Xingze and Fang Borao rode their bicycles to Baner Hutong.

Rather than calling it an alley, it is more like a large courtyard connected to another old and slightly dilapidated courtyard.

Seen from the outside, the roads leading to each courtyard were extremely narrow, only about one meter wide, barely enough for two people to walk side by side.

When Zhou Xingze and Fang Borao arrived here on their bicycles, they found that they could not push the bikes in at all, so they had no choice but to park them on the side of the street.

Then, the two of them stepped cautiously into the crowded and messy Baner Hutong.

The alleys were winding and crisscrossed. They turned left and right, which felt more confusing than walking in a maze.

After some difficult searching, we finally found the slum where Zhao Xiaohu's home lived.

Zhou Xingze raised his foot impatiently and just as he stepped into the large courtyard, suddenly a dirty, untied local dog jumped out from somewhere, barking at him with its teeth bared, revealing its sharp fangs, and pounced on him with its claws and teeth bared.

Zhou Xingze was so frightened by this sudden scene that he stepped back repeatedly.

Fang Boruo, who was standing behind him, reacted quickly. He quickly picked up a wooden stick leaning against the wall and handed it to Zhou Xingze without hesitation, shouting, "Take it! Protect yourself!"

At this moment, Grandma Zeng, who lived in the slum, heard her own dog barking and biting non-stop, and she immediately realized that a stranger must have broken into the yard.

While muttering complaints, she hurriedly lifted the cloth curtain and walked out quickly.

It's really strange. Just now, the ferocious dog with bared fangs and claws was barking wildly around, as if it was going to fight with everyone.

But the moment it saw its owner, it was as if it was cast under a spell, its whole body froze, and its ferocity disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, replaced by an unprecedented docility and obedience.

The local dog immediately stopped barking, whimpered a few times, then quickly tucked its tail tightly between its hind legs, lowered its head, and trotted dejectedly to Grandma Zeng's heels.

It squatted down obediently again, not daring to move at all, let alone do it again.

At this time, Grandma Zeng looked up and down carefully at the two young men standing in front of her with a vigilant look on her face.

She first looked at the two men's clothes, then looked at their facial expressions, and thought to herself: Hmm... looking at them, they don't look like the kind of people who would steal or do nothing serious.

Thinking of this, Granny Zeng let down her guard a little, but still didn't relax completely. She asked, "Who are you two looking for when you come to my place?"
