Hearing his words, Shen Yanxi slowly regained her senses.

She turned her head away; she couldn't possibly see Zhou Mingyan right now. Whenever she saw him, Shen Yanxi couldn't help but want to scold him.

She patted her head, forcing herself to calm down: "Of course I know this isn't entirely your fault. I was just too hasty."

Shen Yanxi squatted on the ground, covered her head with her hands, and cried with a wronged expression. She was extremely remorseful: "It's all my fault for not protecting my child. I should have listened to He Lingchuan. I shouldn't have entrusted the child to you."

Hearing her cries, He Lingchuan's expression grew even more serious: "Instead of crying here, you should hurry up and go find someone."

Shen Yanxi looked at Zhou Mingyan. Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, he exuded a powerful aura. Looking at Zhou Mingyan, who was facing her, He Lingchuan's eyes showed a hint of hatred: "Zhou Mingyan, you didn't deliberately lose the child, did you?"

He Lingchuan squinted and looked Zhou Mingyan up and down, and he couldn't help but doubt the man's motives.

"He Lingchuan, don't make false accusations. This is Xixi's child, and I treat him like my own. How could I intentionally lose him?"

Zhou Mingyan's eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't stop sobbing. He held onto Shen Yanxi's hand tightly and wouldn't let go: "Xixi, you have to believe me. How could I do such a thing?"

Shen Yanxi looked at Zhou Mingyan with a blank expression. In that instant, Zhou Mingyan saw doubt and suspicion in her eyes, but no trust.

He took a deep breath, swallowed, and looked at Shen Yanxi cautiously: "Xixi, you don't believe me, do you?"

Shen Yanxi turned her head away, looking helpless: "I believe you."

Shen Yanxi paused for a moment while speaking, and Zhou Mingyan pulled his foot back. He smiled self-deprecatingly: "You'd rather believe He Lingchuan than me now."

Zhou Mingyan slammed his hand on his chest, his face turning pale: "Xixi, you should know best how I am to the child and how I am to you. How can you help outsiders doubt me?"

“Mingyan, now is not the time to talk about these things.”

Shen Yanxi clearly didn't want to answer Zhou Mingyan's question. She turned her head away and didn't even look at Zhou Mingyan.

In that instant, Zhou Mingyan's self-esteem was completely shattered.

He couldn't accept Shen Yanxi's indifference towards him. He widened his eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and muttered to himself, "Fine, fine, you don't believe me? Then I'll find a way to prove it to you."

Shen Yanxi was so focused on finding her child that she didn't even notice when Zhou Mingyan left.

She stood beside He Lingchuan, stamping her feet in frustration, but she couldn't help him at all.

He Lingchuan stared intently at the monitor without blinking: "This person, this person is Xu Fei, whom I told you about."

The police officer looked at He Lingchuan with some doubt: "Are you sure it's him? This looks like a woman."

Their police station had previously handled cases involving their school, and Xu Fei was detained there.

Worried that He Lingchuan might have mistaken someone else, the police officer whispered a reminder to him, "I remember Xu Fei was a woman."

"I'm not mistaken, this is Xu Fei."

He Lingchuan turned to look at the people beside him and said softly, "You should go and arrest this person now. He must have kidnapped my child."

His face was cold and extremely calm.

Zhou Mingyan was right; it was indeed his enemies who had kidnapped the child.

However, Zhou Mingyan is also partly to blame; he shouldn't have left Nan Chen alone at the restaurant in the first place.

The key question is: how exactly did Xu Fei take Nan Chen away?

He Lingchuan stroked his chin, feeling that something was amiss.

According to the surveillance footage provided by the restaurant, it seems that Nan Chen followed Xu Fei on his own. What exactly did Xu Fei say to Nan Chen that could fool such a smart child like Nan Chen?

What was his purpose? Was it merely to take revenge on himself?

He Lingchuan had a splitting headache. He had been out for almost an hour, and the pain was driving him crazy.

Unfortunately, there are no clues at all, and nobody knows where Nan Chen is.

Gu Chengze looked at He Lingchuan's contorted face with concern and asked, "Are you alright?"

He grabbed He Lingchuan's hand, his face full of worry: "How about I take you back to the hospital first? I'll keep an eye on things here for you, and I'll let you know as soon as there's any news about the child."

He Lingchuan was seriously injured and could not stay outside for long.

Gu Chengze was worried that his wound would get infected.

Hearing this, Shen Yanxi remembered that he was still injured. She looked at He Lingchuan with concern and said, "You should go back first. Mingyan and I will stay here..."

"You still dare to mention Zhou Mingyan?"

Before Shen Yanxi could finish speaking, He Lingchuan became anxious.

He looked at Shen Yanxi with a determined expression: "I don't want to hear that name again."

He looked annoyed, clearly regarding Zhou Mingyan as an enemy.

Shen Yanxi took a deep breath and tried to reason with him: "This matter has nothing to do with Mingyan. You saw it yourself. It was Xu Fei who did it. Xu Fei is your enemy. To put it bluntly, Nan Chen was targeted entirely because of you."

What exactly are you trying to say?

He Lingchuan tilted his head and asked Shen Yanxi, "Are you trying to tell me that Zhou Mingyan is innocent?"

He looked at Shen Yanxi with impatience: "I admit that this matter is related to me, but is Zhou Mingyan without fault?"

Faced with He Lingchuan's questioning, Shen Yanxi turned her head away helplessly: "Of course he is wrong, but I am more wrong. I shouldn't have given the child to him."

"You finally have some self-awareness. Only you would do something like handing your child over to a random man."

He Lingchuan's face was full of sarcasm; he didn't even want to look at Shen Yanxi now.

The two were locked in a stalemate, and in the end, Gu Chengze had to separate them.

He Lingchuan breathed a sigh of relief only after Shen Yanxi had completely disappeared from his sight.

Half an hour passed, and He Lingchuan became increasingly irritable.

He looked at the wheelchair beneath him and felt utterly powerless: "Chengze, find me a cane."

"What are you going to do? Are you going to go find someone yourself?"

Gu Chengze's eyes widened, and his voice rose: "Ling Chuan, in your current state, going out is just suicide. If Xu Fei runs into you, do you think he'll let you off the hook?"

Gu Chengze looked at He Lingchuan with some impatience: "Listen to me, just wait for the result honestly. I've dealt with Xu Fei before, he's a coward, he's probably just trying to scare you."

“I know, but Nan Chen is also timid; after all, he is just a child.”

He Lingchuan's eyes welled up with tears. He grabbed Gu Chengze with both hands and said, "Just let me go. This is my child. If I don't bring him back, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life."
