Qiao Wanwan stared at her in disbelief!

"Have you said enough?!" Zhan Jingting roared. "Jiang Dong, send someone to take Madam back. From now on, she is not allowed to step out of Wutong Bay without my permission!"

Jiang Dong nodded. "Yes."

The voices of Ruan Wanyi and Ruan Tang came to my ears.

"Jingting, how could you treat your mother like this!"

"Jingting, how could you restrict my aunt's personal freedom? You can't do this!"

Qiao Wanwan felt like her head was about to explode. Their sharp voices were like thorns stabbing into her head, making her feel like she was suffocating from the pain!

She didn't understand what she had done wrong, why she was forced to be someone else's stand-in, why she couldn't even protect her son, and why it was always so difficult for her to live a peaceful life!

Qiao Wanwan slowly turned around and took a step forward with legs that felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

The next second, everything went black before her eyes, and she fell forward!

"Wanwan!"

Qiao Wanwan felt herself fall into a familiar embrace, but she didn't have the strength to open her eyes and completely lost consciousness!

"Wanwan, what's wrong!" Zhan Jingting picked up the girl in his arms and strode towards the car!

When Qiao Wanwan was taken back to the hotel, the Ghost Hand Doctor was on the phone. Seeing them come in, he rushed forward and asked anxiously, "What happened to Wanwan? I was just about to call her to ask where she is!"

"I didn't sleep a wink last night and I fainted."

"Quickly put it on the bed!"

Zhan Jingting immediately did as instructed.

The legendary doctor took Qiao Wanwan's pulse. "She was overwhelmed by anger and didn't get enough rest, so her body couldn't take it. It's nothing serious, I'll take good care of her. Thank you for bringing Wanwan back, Master Zhan."

Zhan Jingting frowned. "Grandpa, Wanwan doesn't understand me, so can't you understand me either?"

“Although I raised Wanwan, she has always been a very opinionated child, and I never interfere with her decisions,” said the Ghost Hand Doctor. “I will not meddle in or interfere with the matters between you two.”

Zhan Jingting didn't say much. "You give Wanwan the medicine. I'll stay here and watch over her."

“When Wanwan wakes up, she won’t want to see you. What you should do now is find Shiyi safely.”

Zhan Jingting nodded, "Okay, I'll go find her now. Please take good care of Wanwan, and call me immediately if anything happens."

"no problem."

......

Qiao Wanwan woke up from a nightmare in which she dreamt that Eleven was strangled to death by Wen Xue. She was covered in a cold sweat when she woke up!

"Wanwan?" the Ghostly Healer asked, "Having another nightmare?"

“Hmm.” Qiao Wanwan’s face was pale. “I dreamt that Wen Xue wanted to take revenge on me, so she was torturing Eleven.”

"Don't scare yourself. It's better for Eleven to fall into Wen Xue's hands than to be taken away by Jiang Cheng."

"Master, you've also guessed Jiang Cheng's purpose in taking Eleven away?" Qiao Wanwan's fingertips trembled. "The person behind him knows that Eleven's illness has been cured, so he wants to use Eleven's blood to cure him, right?"

"Zhan Jingting also guessed it, which is why he set up this trap to lure Jiang Cheng into it. However, he did not expect that Jiang Cheng would not take the bait, and instead, Eleven was taken away by Wen Xue."

“I sent Shiyi to kindergarten just so he could live a normal life. I knew someone was watching him, so I made a lot of preparations, arranging many people to protect him, both openly and secretly, to ensure his safety. But I never expected Zhan Jingting to use him.” Qiao Wanwan was heartbroken. “It’s my fault. I should have kept Shiyi by my side 24 hours a day. Only under my watchful eye is he truly safe…”

"Wanwan, don't be sad anymore." The Ghost Hand Doctor went to the kitchen to bring back the medicine. "Drink the medicine and get a good night's sleep. If you collapse, how will you find Eleven?"

“Master, I didn’t mean to break down.” Qiao Wanwan ignored the bitterness and drank the warm medicine in one gulp. “I was angry today, and I didn’t rest last night, so I fainted.”

"Are you angered by Zhan Jingting?"

"Let's not talk about that anymore," Qiao Wanwan asked. "Any news about National Day?"

"Not yet. Since Wen Xue escaped with Eleven, it means she is a very clever person and will probably not be easy to find."

“I’ve said it before, Wen Xue isn’t crazy at all, but the Wen family doesn’t want to believe it.”

"They can't afford to disbelieve now; how could a madman have such a clear mind?"

"Master, where is my computer? I need to continue investigating."

"You need to get some rest," the Ghost Hand Doctor said sternly. "You've only slept for a few hours; you haven't rested well at all."

"I'm fine."

“If you’re really alright, I won’t stop you. You need to rest now.” The Ghost Hand Doctor checked the time. “It’s only one o’clock in the afternoon. Here’s what we’ll do: you sleep for another four hours, and I’ll wake you up at five o’clock sharp.”

Just as Qiao Wanwan was about to refuse, she felt waves of sleepiness wash over her!

She suddenly realized, "Master, you gave me medicine..."

"Wanwan, this is the only way your master can help you get a good night's sleep. You feel sorry for Eleven, but your master feels even more sorry for you. Go to sleep now."

Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes uncontrollably and quickly fell into a deep sleep...

......

At that time, in an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs, Eleven, who was tied to a chair, was leisurely eating potato chips.

Wen Xue walked in, unscrewed the water bottle, and handed it to him. "Good son, drink up."

"Auntie, I'm not your son," Eleven explained earnestly. "My mommy is Qiao Wanwan."

"She's not your mommy!" Wen Xue threw down the water bottle and gripped his arm tightly. "I'm your mommy, Eleven! Have you forgotten? You grew up by my side since you were little. I raised you from infancy, changing your diapers and feeding you. How could you betray me!"

“Auntie, this isn’t betrayal, it’s the truth,” Eleven said calmly. “If you can send me back, my parents will definitely thank you.”

"Heh..." Wen Xue sneered, "Did Qiao Wanwan teach you to be so calm at a time like this?"

"My mom says that you should never panic and should try to replenish your energy so that you have the strength to protect yourself."

Wen Xue's eyes turned cold, and she snatched the potato chips from Eleven's hand and threw them on the ground. "No wonder you kept saying you wanted to eat. So you wanted to replenish your energy to escape!"

Eleven looked at her helplessly, "Auntie, this is the middle of nowhere. Even if I run away, I won't find my way. I might even encounter other dangers. So as long as you don't hurt me, I won't run away."

Wen Xue's nose stung with tears, and she hugged him tightly. "Eleven, my son, you are my precious child. How could I possibly hurt you? Mommy has lost everything, and all I want is to keep you by my side. Come with Mommy, okay? Let's live happily together like before, and no one can separate us anymore..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than footsteps sounded behind him!
