She answered the phone with one hand and waved in her father's direction through the car window with the other, "Sister Fanyan, do you know where Shengxin is?"

Lin Zhibai's anxious voice startled her.

"What do you mean?" Her first thought was that he had dialed the wrong number, but he had indeed called her by name.

Lin Zhibai said, "I sent someone to take Shengxin to the sanatorium this morning, only to find that she was gone. She suddenly called just now, saying that her stomach was hurting a lot and that she seemed to be having a miscarriage, but her phone immediately lost signal!"

Gu Fanyan understood: "You suspect that I had someone take her away and control her, right?"

Lin Zhibai immediately denied it: "That's not what I meant, I was just asking."

“Okay, I’ll take this as a question,” Gu Fanyan took a deep breath, “Then I’ll tell you now, I didn’t send anyone to take her away, and I know nothing about this.”

Lin Zhibai agreed, "See you at the airport, Sister Fanyan."

After hanging up the phone, the assistant immediately said, "Young Master Lin, we have found out that Sheng Xin was taken away at 3:30 last night. The person who took her away was sent by Old Madam Gu."

Lin Zhibai nodded: "If Sister Fanyan says she doesn't know, then she definitely doesn't know."

The assistant also caught on: "Grandma Gu wants to resolve Miss Gu's worries, so taking Sheng Xin away is understandable. But wouldn't it be too cruel to abort the child?"

Lin Zhibai was silent for a moment, then said, "They left at 3:30 last night, they couldn't have gone far. Send people out to look for them."

After a brief pause, he added, "If they are found, just send them back to the sanatorium and pretend nothing happened."

The assistant understood that Young Master Lin didn't want Gu Fanyan to know.

The assistant immediately went to make arrangements, and returned a moment later, saying, "Young Master Lin, we can't get into this place."

He tapped on the large electronic image on his tablet.

It's a high-end resort, and Gu's mother is a shareholder there; you can't get in without a membership.

Lin Zhibai glanced at the time; if he ran here, he'd still have enough time to get to the airport.

"Let's go!" he called to his assistant.

The assistant lowered his eyes and nodded, concealing the strange glint in them.

Lin Zhibai went to the resort and confirmed that Sheng Xin was not there.

He also received messages from other assistants that there was still no news of Sheng Xin's whereabouts.

He was at a loss for words and sat silently in the passenger seat.

Finally, he made a decision and prepared to have his assistant take him to the airport... Suddenly, the assistant turned around, his head hanging low, "Young Master Lin, please help Sheng Xin!" His tone was full of pleading.

Lin Zhibai was stunned. "What's your relationship with Sheng Xin?" He actually used that tone!

The assistant said sadly, "Young Master Lin, there's something I've never told you. Sheng Xin and I were college classmates, and she was the only one who helped me when I was going through the toughest time!"

"I could hear she was very anxious on the phone just now; there must be something wrong with the baby!"

"Young Master Lin, it's the Gu family who wants to harm her. Apart from you, no one is willing to save her, and no one has the power to do so!"

Lin Zhibai remembered that this assistant's surname was Liu, and he was very reliable. He hadn't made a single mistake in the past few years.

"Assistant Liu, don't worry, Old Madam Gu isn't a heartless person," Lin Zhibai said. "If Sheng Xin is really in trouble, she won't stand by and watch her die!"

Assistant Liu countered, "What if Sheng Xin's condition was caused by Old Madam Gu?"

"Furthermore, not at all." Lin Zhibai shook his head.

"Who can predict what a mother would do for her daughter's happiness?" Assistant Liu's eyes reddened, filled with guilt. "Young Master Lin, please, for the sake of her helping you too..."

Lin Zhibai loosened his tie, wanting more air to come out. "But I can't find her now, how can I help?"

"If we can get Grandma Gu's promise, I think Shengxin's safety will be guaranteed."

Lin Zhibai had to admit that it was a good idea.

But if I were to make another trip to the Gu family's house at this point, it would definitely delay my flight.

Assistant Liu said, "Young Master Lin, the flight can be rescheduled. There's another flight in two hours."

Lin Zhibai let out a breath. "Okay, change the ticket."

He called Gu Fanyan: "Sister Fanyan, I've made some progress on Sheng Xin's whereabouts. I'll be there as soon as I've taken care of it."

"Our flight has already started security checks," Gu Fanyan said.

"I asked my assistant to reschedule my flight; there's another one in two hours."

"Sister Fanyan, once this matter is resolved, no one will bother us anymore."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Gu Fanyan put down the phone and took a deep breath.

Last night he said he didn't want to see anyone lose their child... His pained expression flashed through her mind.

She chose to stay here and wait.

The car drove into the Gu Family Garden.

When the nanny rushed over to tell Gu's mother, she saw that her face was already ashen, as she had already recognized that it was Lin Zhibai's car.

"Are you here to pick up Fan Yan?" Gu's mother coldly watched Lin Zhibai approach. "Fan Yan should have been waiting for you at the airport for several hours."

Lin Zhibai glanced at the nanny.

The nanny immediately and tactfully stepped aside.

Only Lin Zhibai and Gu's mother remained.

Lin Zhibai bowed respectfully: "Auntie, there is something I would like to ask you."

"explain."

“Shengxin…please take good care of her, she and her child have helped me.”

Gu's mother stared at Lin Zhibai in a daze for a moment, then was so angry she almost laughed: "You left Yan'er at the airport and came all the way here to ask me for this?"

Lin Zhibai continued to plead, "Auntie, I have already explained the reason."

"Alright, you can go now," said Mrs. Gu.

"Also, I hope you won't let Yan'er know that you were here today."

Lin Zhibai nodded and quickly left the villa.

"Get to the airport as quickly as possible," he instructed his assistant after getting into the car.

The assistant agreed and immediately floored the accelerator.

Lin Zhibai opened the navigation, estimated the time, and a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

After he arrives at the airport, he will have plenty of time to go through security and board the plane with Gu Fanyan.

Perhaps you can sit for a while in the airport coffee shop and enjoy a rare moment of peace and quiet.

"Screech!" Suddenly, Assistant Liu slammed on the brakes, and the car slid forward quite a distance before coming to a stop with a jolt.

Lin Zhibai asked in confusion, "What happened?"

There was no rear-end collision in front or behind, why did he suddenly stop?

"It's alright, it's alright," Assistant Liu shook his head, his body trembling. "Young Master Lin, this car is going too fast, I dare not drive it anymore."

Lin Zhibai remained silent.

Seeing his pale face, Lin Zhibai realized he was extremely nervous and didn't press him further. He then switched to the driver's seat himself.

"Bang!" He had been driving for about ten kilometers when he lost control of the steering wheel and crashed into the guardrail.

The railings were made of concrete and were very sturdy; they dried so much that his hood started smoking.

Wow!

Lin Zhibai couldn't help but swear!

"Young Master Lin, are you alright?" Assistant Liu asked anxiously. "I'll call an ambulance right away."

“It’s not that serious,” Lin Zhibai interrupted him. “The airbags didn’t even inflate, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

“Then I’ll call roadside assistance first,” he said.

"Call me a taxi first," Lin Zhibai instructed.
