Nangong Ci took it, and was just about to ask what it was.

Ye Ling'er beat her to it, asking, "Sister-in-law, what is this?"

Jian Yixue said coldly, "Something that will make him shut up."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling'er wanted to ask something else.

As a result, Nangong Ci grabbed her arm and said, "Let's go, sister-in-law has been working hard all day and needs to rest."

He didn't want Ling'er to know about these dark things; he hoped he could remain innocent and carefree.

Hearing this, Ye Ling'er thought it made sense and could only nod.

"Then, sister-in-law, I'll go out first. Call me anytime if anything happens," Ye Ling'er said worriedly.

"How about I stay here and keep my sister-in-law company? I promise I won't disturb her rest." Ye Ling'er couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After all, my sister-in-law isn't alone anymore.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'll go get some sleep. I can't sleep with someone around."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling'er still refused to leave.

Nangong Ci took Ye Ling'er's hand and said, "Let's go, sister-in-law needs to rest."

After saying that, he pulled her away.

As Jian Yixue watched the person leave, she realized that she was indeed very sleepy.

Since becoming pregnant, she has been taking a nap every day.

She attended Jian Jiaojiao's engagement party today, and then encountered these upsetting things on her way back. She also didn't get any sleep, so she was indeed a bit exhausted.

Fortunately, Ye Mohan usually arranges a sleeping area in his office, and last time he specifically asked her to register her fingerprints.

Only Ye Mohan and she are allowed to enter this place.

Jian Yixue got up and went to her room to rest.

Lying in bed, Jian Yixue looked at her phone screen, but there were still no messages from him.

It's been several days already, what has he been busy with?

Why didn't I just send her a message? Didn't I know she would worry?

Jian Yixue pouted, showing a hint of displeasure.

After thinking about it, she still took the initiative to send him a message, but he never replied.

Looks like they're busy.

Looking at her phone screen, she slowly drifted off to sleep.

What Jian Yixue didn't know was that after Ye Mohan went out to sea to chase after someone, there was no cell phone signal anymore.

Ye Mohan was also helpless, but there was nothing he could do. He could only tell himself to catch the jackal as soon as possible and go back to be with his wife.

...

Jian Jiaojiao arrived at the entrance of the Zhao family villa in a great hurry.

However, Zhao Heng was not at home at that moment.

Since Wu Xiao mysteriously disappeared a few days ago, he has devoted himself to finding her.

After all, the child in Wu Xiao's belly is very likely his only child, so he can't afford to be careless.

This is why, even though he hated her to death, he still made sure to arrange for someone to take good care of her.

As for why he left, he knew the reason.

For some time now, she had been urging him to marry her, but how could he possibly marry someone who had caused him to lose his masculinity?

Therefore, he never agreed.

His engagement party with Jian Jiaojiao was likely the trigger for his disappearance.

So once the engagement banquet was over, he started looking for people again. He didn't believe that Wu Xiao, a person with neither money nor ability, could have run off to somewhere!

When Jian Jiaojiao arrived at the Zhao family home, she only met Zhao Heng's parents.

Jian Jiaojiao asked Zhao Heng where he had gone, but Zhao's mother only said she didn't know, that he must have been busy.

There was no other way; my father's situation was urgent.

Jian Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment, then said to Zhao's father, "Uncle, I have a request for you today. I only came to you because I had no other choice."

Jian Jiaojiao was so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

At this moment, her sadness was genuine, but she didn't truly care about Jian Mingpeng's life or death.

What she cares about is her bright future and the infinite possibilities ahead.

Upon hearing this, Zhao's father frowned immediately. "Tell me," he said, "that as long as we can help, we will definitely not refuse."

Jian Jiaojiao nodded gratefully.

"My dad has been kidnapped."

"What?" Zhao's mother's eyes widened, hardly believing her ears.

Jian Jiaojiao: "My dad was kidnapped from home. We don't even know who the kidnappers are. My mom fainted from grief at home. I had no choice but to think of my uncle and aunt."

We'd like to ask you, uncles and aunts, to help us find out who these people are. And why did they kidnap my dad?

If they need money, we will definitely do our best to meet their requirements.

Upon hearing this, Zhao's mother looked at Jian Jiaojiao with sympathy, and also felt some sympathy for her daughter-in-law's mother.

If her own man were kidnapped, she would probably be completely disoriented and wouldn't react much better than her mother-in-law.

Fortunately, Jian Jiaojiao is a capable person. She knew to come for help at this time, which is really commendable.

Therefore, it seems that it was not wrong to let Aheng marry her.

Although the Jian family is not as powerful as theirs now, with a capable mistress, who knows what the future holds?

Mother Zhao looked at Father Zhao and said, "Master, you have to help your in-laws. It seems that the Jian family can only rely on Jiaojiao now. If Jiaojiao gets too tired, Aheng will blame you."

When Zhao's father heard Jian Jiaojiao's request, he didn't think there was any problem; it was just a matter of finding someone.

Hearing his wife's words, he nodded directly, "Yes, Uncle will investigate this matter for you. You go back and wait for news."

Upon hearing this, Jian Jiaojiao nodded gratefully.

"Thank you, Uncle."

Looking at Jian Jiaojiao, who is now well-mannered and obedient, Zhao's mother is increasingly satisfied.

Worried that she might be anxious, he added, "Jiaojiao, don't worry, Uncle promised you, so he will definitely help you investigate."

I'll have Aheng call you anytime I have any news.

Jian Jiaojiao nodded, "Yes, I understand, thank you, Uncle and Aunt."

After Jian Jiaojiao left, at Zhao's mother's instruction, Zhao's father immediately arranged for someone to investigate.

At the same time, Zhao's mother also called Zhao Heng to tell him about this, asking him to comfort Jian Jiaojiao.

But Zhao Heng is too preoccupied with her right now.

...

"Young Master Ci, someone is investigating Jian Mingpeng's disappearance."

"who?"

"The Zhao family of the capital."

Nangong Ci's eyes turned cold. "Spread the word: anyone who dares to continue investigating this matter will suffer the consequences. Especially the Zhao family, give them a warning."

"Yes, Mr. Ci."

That evening, Zhao's father received the news. After much deliberation, as a seasoned businessman, he naturally understood that there must be someone he couldn't afford to offend involved.

Moreover, the other party already knows that he is investigating this matter. If the investigation continues, the Zhao family, or even himself, may suffer an undeserved disaster.

That evening, Zhao's father told Jian Jiaojiao the news, explaining that it wasn't that he didn't want to help, but that he simply couldn't.
