Jiang Dong nodded. "Replying to Madam, I have been monitoring all the docks, train stations, airports, and other places where I can set up surveillance, but there is still no news of him."

Qiao Wanwan nodded. "I believe in your abilities."

Jiang Dong said, "Madam, I have dismissed all the subordinates who failed to take good care of the young master last time. I will be more strict with them in the future and they will not make similar mistakes again."

Qiao Wanwan said, "That being said, I don't plan to send Eleven to kindergarten until everything is over."

“Young Madam, are you so afraid of ropes after being bitten by a snake once?” Jiang Dong said. “The kindergarten’s protection of the young master is actually not a problem. Last time was really an accident.”

Qiao Wanwan smiled. "I don't mean to doubt your abilities, but after this incident, I really don't dare to take any more risks."

"Eleven has recovered, but he has also become the target of the people behind the scenes. I dare not gamble, nor can I gamble, so I must keep him by my side and take care of him every step of the way."

“The young mistress’s concerns are valid.”

Qiao Wanwan looked at the man beside her, "Eleven really likes kindergarten and really wants to go."

"A strong ability to adapt is a good thing."

"Hmm." Qiao Wanwan smiled brightly. "The most important thing is to fit in. You're not like that, so I'm relieved."

Zhan Jingting pinched her cheek. "Being a loner isn't necessarily a bad thing. Cattle and sheep roam in herds, but wild beasts roam alone."

“But wild beasts have their own kind of loneliness. I don’t want Eleven to face loneliness alone like we did in the past,” Qiao Wanwan said earnestly.

"good."

Qiao Wanwan took Eleven upstairs to take a bath. Just as they finished, the Ghost Hand Doctor arrived.

"Master, have you shown it to Ruan Tang?"

"I've examined her, but judging from her pulse, she's in very good health."

"What?" Qiao Wanwan asked curiously, "She had a fever last night."

"She did have a fever, but I didn't see any underlying illness in her."

"So, she has a normal fever, and it's not caused by any underlying medical condition?"

"You could say that."

Qiao Wanwan seemed to be thinking, "So what did you say to my mother-in-law?"

"I didn't say it directly, I just said that I was a little weak after the fever broke and that I should rest well."

Qiao Wanwan nodded. "Even if you told the truth, my mother-in-law probably wouldn't believe you."

"I think so too, so I simply didn't expose it."

Qiao Wanwan smiled, "It seems this cousin is quite something..."

"Wanwan, she's hiding her true colors too well. Be careful."

"Don't worry, I won't suffer any losses."

"Yes, Master will also keep an eye on her for you."

"Thank you, Master."

......

In the afternoon, Qiao Wanwan was preparing Shiyi for a nap when there was a knock on the door.

"Young Madam," came Zheng Ma's voice from outside the door, "Young Master requests your presence in the study."

Is something the matter?

"It seems like we have guests."

"Okay, I'll be right there." Qiao Wanwan covered Eleven with the blanket. "You go to sleep quietly by yourself. Mommy will come and keep you company in a little while."

"All right."

"good."

When Qiao Wanwan arrived at the study, besides Zhan Jingting, there was a young man sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.

"Harley Quinn?" Gu Runqiu burst out laughing when he saw Qiao Wanwan. "Brother Ting, you're amazing! You actually managed to turn Harley Quinn into this. It's even more incredible than magic!"

Qiao Wanwan recognized the handsome and unruly man in front of her at a glance, "Gu Runqiu!"

She met Gu Runqiu twice when she was Gu Xulin's fiancée.

This guy doesn't like Gu Xulin, so he's made fun of her a lot!

“Harley Quinn, you have pretty good taste. You actually abandoned the darkness and married my brother Ting.” Gu Runqiu asked with great interest, “Tell me, how did you suddenly become blind?”

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"If you call me Harley Quinn again, believe me, I'll throw you out of the second-floor window!"

"Wow, you're pretty domineering..."

"Alright." Zhan Jingting glanced at Gu Runqiu. "I didn't call you back to mock my wife. Tell me, what's the deal with the retracted WeChat message?"

Qiao Wanwan was shocked. So Zhan Jingting had called Gu Runqiu back from abroad just for this!

After the two of them had a frank conversation that day, she naturally knew that there was something wrong with the WeChat message she had seen, but she didn't expect Zhan Jingting to call her back so solemnly to explain.

"Brother Ting, I really don't know anything about WeChat. What do you want me to say?" Gu Runqiu looked completely bewildered.

Zhan Jingting took a few papers from the coffee table and handed them to him. "You think I can't find the records of the retracted WeChat messages? These were exported by someone else. Retracted messages can still be retrieved."

Gu Runqiu stared intently, then was even more bewildered. "Impossible! I sent you WeChat messages for three days in a row, and then deleted them? And what kind of nonsense is this? This is definitely not my style!"

"I know this isn't your style, it's obviously not something you posted, but it definitely came from your WeChat, and Wanwan saw it and misunderstood. Aren't you going to give me an explanation?"

Gu Runqiu scratched his head, then quickly remembered something. "I know what happened! It was my cheap cousin who did it! No wonder he was asking me to drink until the middle of the night every day those days, turns out he got me drunk and messed with my phone!"

Qiao Wanwan subconsciously looked at Zhan Jingting, and the two exchanged a glance, already knowing what was going on.

“I did see Runqiu’s withdrawal record on my phone those few days, but he often does this kind of thing when he’s drunk, so I didn’t take it seriously,” Zhan Jingting explained.
