Qiao Wanwan thought it was Jiang Dong, and hurriedly said, "Please come in."

But it was Ruan Tang who came in.

"sister in law."

"Why is it you?" Qiao Wanwan asked. "Aren't you with my mother? Why are you looking for me?"

“My aunt is asleep. I’ve asked the maid to watch over her. I’ve gone to the kitchen to make some ginseng soup for you and Brother Jingting. Try it.”

"I've already had dinner, I don't want to drink now." Qiao Wanwan looked away and continued to focus on the computer.

"Sister-in-law, your health is the most important thing. Even Jingting has been drinking it, so you should too."

Qiao Wanwan frowned slightly. "If he likes to drink, this bowl is his too."

Ruan Tang chuckled, "Sister-in-law, you're really funny."

"Eleven has gone missing. I'm not in the mood for jokes right now. Please leave."

Ruan Tang was a little hurt. "Sister-in-law, I know you're in a bad mood. I'm also very worried about Shiyi. It's just a pity that I'm not very capable and can't help much. I can only cook some of Jingting's favorite dishes at home."

Qiao Wanwan rubbed her temples wearily. "Ruan Tang, I really don't feel like chatting with you right now. I'll say it again, please leave."

Ruan Tang bit her lower lip tightly, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I'll leave now."

The study finally quieted down, and Qiao Wanwan continued studying the video.

Suddenly, she sensed something was wrong and closed her eyes, lost in thought.

Soon, Qiao Wanwan opened her eyes, her eyes filled with anger!

She took out her phone and made a call, saying, "Come to my study."

Jiang Dong arrived quickly, "Young Madam, you were looking for me."

Qiao Wanwan suppressed her anger, her cold eyes fixed on his face. "Didn't I tell you that Shi Yi's safety at the kindergarten is of utmost importance? I told you to arrange for people to protect him both inside and outside the kindergarten. If you have to be so careful even at the kindergarten, why wasn't he protected by anyone when he went to the museum today?"

"Please calm down, young madam." Jiang Dong hurriedly nodded and said, "You said that in order not to disturb the young master's normal life, you would arrange for secret protection. Today, when we went to the museum, there were naturally people protecting him in secret."

"Nonsense!" Qiao Wanwan slammed her hand on the table, stood up and questioned, "Look at the surveillance footage yourself! Where is anyone protecting you, inside or out? If security had been so tight, would Eleven have been taken away under surveillance?"

"Jiang Dong, did you even take my words to heart?!"

"Young Madam, I'm so sorry!" Jiang Dong lowered his head further and further. "It was my dereliction of duty, and I am willing to accept punishment!"

"What's the point of punishing you? Will punishing you bring Eleven back? If something happens to Eleven, can you bear the consequences?"

"Young Madam, I'm so sorry..."

Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes, trying to suppress the anger in her chest. "You're always cautious, and you know how important Shiyi's safety is. You wouldn't make such a fundamental mistake... unless..."

Jiang Dong's face turned pale!

Qiao Wanwan walked up to him. "Jiang Dong, tell me the truth, what exactly happened!"

Jiang Dong swallowed hard and said, "Madam, it was my dereliction of duty. You can punish me however you like."

"Of course you should punish me, but as Eleven's mother, don't I have the right to know what really happened!" Qiao Wanwan said, enunciating each word clearly. "You'd better tell me honestly, or I will never forgive you!"

Jiang Dong immediately knelt down, "Young Madam, please punish me!"

Qiao Wanwan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized, "It was arranged by Jing Ting, right?"

Jiangdong trembled violently!

Qiao Wanwan let out a cold laugh, "Just as I thought..."

"Young Madam, this has nothing to do with Master Zhan, I..."

Before Jiang Dong could finish speaking, he saw Qiao Wanwan stride away!

He hurriedly chased after her, calling out, "Young Madam..."

Qiao Wanwan didn't even knock before pushing the door open and walking into Zhan Jingting's study. She saw Zhan Jingting sitting behind his desk, while Ruan Tang stood beside him, both of them staring at the computer screen, seemingly engrossed in something.

The two people were incredibly close, exceeding the normal social distance!

Qiao Wanwan's pupils suddenly contracted, and the anger in her chest surged up, making her tremble with rage!

"Wanwan, what's wrong?" Zhan Jingting noticed the girl's unusual expression and quickly got up to walk over to her. "What happened?"

"Smack!"

A loud slap rang out, and Zhan Jingting's face was turned to the side!

Ruan Tang was stunned. Seeing that Qiao Wanwan was about to continue fighting, she rushed forward and stood in front of Zhan Jingting!

"Smack!"

The slap landed on Ruan Tang's face!

Ruan Tang covered her left cheek and looked at Qiao Wanwan with a wronged expression, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? How could you hit Brother Jingting?"

"Heh..." Qiao Wanwan sneered, "What a loving brother and sister... Get out of my way!"

"I won't let you!" Ruan Tang spread her arms, bravely blocking Zhan Jingting's path. "I won't let you continue hitting my brother!"

Qiao Wanwan's angry eyes were filled with coldness. "I'll say it again, get out of my way!"

Ruan Tang was taken aback, not expecting her to have such a strong aura, but she still stubbornly said, "I won't allow it!"

The next second, she was pushed aside by a pair of strong hands.

"Jingting!" Ruan Tang looked at Zhan Jingting, "Why did you push me away? She'll hit you!"

"This is none of your business." Zhan Jingting stared at Qiao Wanwan. "Wanwan, what exactly happened?"

"Don't you know what happened?" Qiao Wanwan trembled with anger. "Tell me, was it because you neglected to protect Shiyi that he was kidnapped!"

Zhan Jingting remained silent.

At this point, remaining silent signifies acquiescence.

Qiao Wanwan didn't want to cry, especially not in front of Ruan Tang, but at this moment, she simply couldn't control herself!

All the pent-up grievances she had suppressed for so many days finally erupted with her anger. She raised her hand and slapped Zhan Jingting again, tears streaming down her face. "You bastard!"

"Sister-in-law, you've gone too far!" Ruan Tang stepped forward and shoved Qiao Wanwan aside, roaring, "Even if it was Jing Ting's negligence, you can't hit him like that!"

Qiao Wanwan took two steps back and almost fell to the ground, but Jiang Dong caught her quickly and she managed to stand up.

She ignored Ruan Tang, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar man in front of her through a layer of mist in her eyes, her heart aching so much that she felt like she was suffocating. "Zhan Jingting, that's the son I risked my life for. I don't want him to be a very successful or outstanding person. I just want him to grow up safely and healthily. But why is it so difficult?"

"How could you say such a thing, ordering your subordinates to remove the protection and put my son in danger? What are your true intentions!"

"Wanwan, things aren't what you think." Zhan Jingting looked at her intently. "Let me explain."

"Fine, explain yourself, I'm listening." Qiao Wanwan hastily wiped away her tears. "Give me a reasonable explanation, convince me that what you did was right, explain yourself!"
