But so what?

At worst, he can take her with him when he leaves.

On his journey to the underworld, he will continue to take good care of her as always.

Once they reach Meng Po, they can continue their relationship in their next life.

"Lu Ming".

Gu Yao's voice pulled him back to reality.

He knew that Gu Yao was anxious to get an answer.

“Telling you isn’t impossible. Then I’ll change my condition.” Lu Ming’s lips curled into a half-smile. “Get me out of here. Otherwise… you can come in and ask Wang Lin yourself.”

"You..." This was only the second time in Gu Yao's life that he had wanted to kill someone.

Looking at Lu Ming, whose eyes were brimming with smugness, Gu Yao suddenly realized that this Lu guy was a bit abnormal.

"Gu Yao, have you thought this through? After all, I'm already like this, so if it were you... tsk tsk tsk, I don't know if you could even leave alive." Lu Ming shook his arm, which was in a cast.

Gu Yao laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Ming suddenly became furious.

It was clearly Gu Yao who was begging him, but the kid's grinning face made him want to slap him across the face.

"Lu Ming, do you think I'd be so stupid as to give you up to cause her trouble and make things difficult for myself?" Gu Yao suppressed a laugh.

Lu Ming felt a chill run down his spine.

"What do you mean? Don't you want to know where Chen's son is? Let me tell you, there's no one else out there who can make him talk. If you don't believe me, you can try."

You have to understand, Wang Lin isn't stupid.

He suffered such a great loss this time, he will definitely not let it happen again.

Just as Lu Ming was feeling confident, Gu Yao smiled.

"Hehehe... Lu Ming, what if you don't tell me? I don't care at all whether that guy surnamed Chen wakes up or not. No, I should say, it's even less of a worry for me if he doesn't wake up."

After all, him sleeping in the hospital only costs me a little money. But if he wakes up, I'll have to spend time watching him to prevent him from doing anything stupid that might hurt Huahua.

After saying that, Gu Yao stood up, picked up his briefcase, and was about to leave.

"Gu Yao! You...you fucking played me!" Only at this moment did Lu Ming realize that from the very beginning, he had been made a fool of like a monkey.

From the very beginning, Gu Yao had no intention of helping the Chen family find their son.

Gu Yao wanted to use Wang Lin to get rid of him!

"Looks like you're not too stupid after all." Gu Yao turned around and smiled. "I hope you'll be as lucky as you were this time in the days to come."

After saying that, Gu Yao turned and left without looking back.

Just before leaving, he stopped and said, "Don't worry about your mother. I will transfer the annual expenses to the hospital account on time."

Even after she passes away, I won't abandon her. After all, she promised you.

After saying that, Gu Yao pushed open the door and went out.

In the meeting room, Lu Ming slammed his fist on the table.

"Damn it! Why didn't I think of that at first! You just wait, you bastard surnamed Gu! The day I get out, I'll skin you alive!"

...

Hospital.

Zhou Chunhua has lost count of how many times she has checked the time.

Will Gu Yao be able to get news about Old Chen's son when he goes to see Lu Ming this time?

She couldn't help but look at the man lying motionless on the bed.

"Old Chen, you can hear me, right? Wake up, please wake up! Wake up, let's find your son together, okay? Old Chen, wake up, please wake up!"

However, she was still talking to herself.

Knock, knock, knock—a knock sounded at the door.

Zhou Chunhua wiped away the tears she had been holding back for a long time and turned to look at the door.

The two children who were drawing nearby also turned to look over there.

Zhou Chunhua cleared her throat before replying, "Please come in."

As soon as the door opened, a familiar yet repulsive face appeared.

"Liao Nanxing?!" She rushed to the coffee table and shielded Nini behind her.

Liao Nanxing stood there blankly, motionless.

She knew he must have seen Nini just now.

"What are you doing here? Get out!"

“Chunhua…she…is Nini, right? She’s our daughter, Nini?” Liao Nanxing asked blankly.

"Liao Nanxing, don't forget, you gave up custody and visitation rights during the divorce! So she has nothing to do with you now. She is my daughter, Zhou Chunhua's daughter! She has nothing to do with you!"

However, even when faced with such a stern refusal, Liao Nanxing acted as if he hadn't heard it.

With trembling hands and immense excitement, he took a gorgeous Barbie doll from his handbag and waved it in his hand.

"Nini, look, Daddy brought you a pretty doll. Why don't you come here to Daddy?"

"Liao Nanxing!" Zhou Chunhua couldn't help but shout.

But Liao Nanxing didn't stop there. He then took out several bags of snacks from his handbag.

"Nini, it's Daddy. Look, Daddy brought your favorite potato chips from when you were little, tomato flavor. Come here, let Daddy open them for you."

With a ripping sound, Liao Nanxing tore open the potato chips in his hand.

The sweet and sour aroma of tomatoes wafted through the hospital ward.

Zhou Chunhua nervously turned her head to look behind her, only to see Nini peeking out half her head, her eyes fixed on the potato chips in Liao Nanxing's hand.

"Enough!" She strode forward and knocked the things out of Liao Nanxing's hands.

The potato chips scattered as they hit the ground.

The red powder, like the blood dripping from her heart, was scattered everywhere.

“Chunhua…” Liao Nanxing finally turned his gaze to her: “Why… why did you do this? Although I gave up custody of Nini, I am still Nini’s father! No matter what, I still have visitation rights!”

Let's not argue in front of the children, okay? If there's anything you're unhappy about, we can talk about it outside.

Zhou Chunhua turned to look at her daughter, and when she sensed the fear in her daughter's eyes, she grabbed Liao Nanxing by the collar and dragged her out of the ward.

"What exactly do you want?" she said, shoving Liao Nanxing away.

Liao Nanxing stood up awkwardly, straightening her collar and tie, which had been pulled askew.

"Chunhua, I didn't mean to do anything, and I certainly didn't mean to take the child from you. I just wanted to see Nini and let her know that I didn't abandon her."

Besides, you should know that she's still young and needs her father, right?

"You still know you're her father?" She really wanted to punch Liao Nanxing's fake smiling face.

"When she was abducted, why don't you remember that you were her father? Have you forgotten what you and your mother said to each other?"

You all said she was a girl, a money-losing burden! Gone is gone, and you expect me to give your Liao family another son! Back then, why didn't you remember you were her father?
