Chapter 274 Guessing His Motive

Shen Jiheng never expected him to harm the child; this was his oversight.

He forgot that Shen Qingzhou was once a prominent figure in Chongqing and must have had many connections around him.

It wouldn't be difficult for him to sneak into the kindergarten and take the child away, especially since he's also the father of the child, which could deceive a large number of people.

He took the blindfold and put it on. Now he only hoped to save the child; as for the rest, he could only wait and see.

Upon receiving the news, Han Xi immediately called Shen Jiheng, but the call was always busy, leading her to guess that Shen Jiheng must have been taken into custody.

Han Xi learned most of the situation from Qin Chuan, and now he is secretly following them with his men, not daring to get too close to avoid being discovered.

Qin Chuan told her to go back and wait for news, as she couldn't interfere in this matter.

Han Xi still hasn't figured out how Shen Qingzhou took the child away, and worried about Han Yuxuan's situation, so she can only rush back first.

As soon as Han Xi stepped into the house, she heard Han Yuxuan crying. When she went in, she saw that it was Old Madam Gu holding him tightly.

"Yuxuan, what are you doing!"

Grandma Gu saw her as a savior and waved anxiously, "Han Xi, you're finally back! This child insisted on going out to find her sister, and we barely managed to stop her."

Han Xi breathed a sigh of relief and opened her arms, and only then did Old Madam Gu let go of her hands with relief.

Han Yuxuan ran and threw herself into her mother's arms, saying worriedly, "Mom, that man who claimed to be Grandpa wanted to take us away. I refused, so he tricked my sister into leaving."

Seeing his agitation, Han Xi patted his head to comfort him: "Don't panic, tell Mom slowly, did he take your sister away from kindergarten?"

Han Yuxuan nodded: "The principal said he was our grandfather, and he even showed us photos of Dad and you. He also said he would take us out to play."

Han Xi frowned in confusion. Grandma Gu said, "I asked around. This kindergarten director used to be Shen Qingzhou's subordinate. They had a good relationship. She probably didn't think much of what he said, which is why she let him get close to the children."

Han Xi was really careless, completely ignoring that children can also encounter problems.

She just hadn't expected Shen Qingzhou to focus her attention on the child.

Han Xi asked with concern, "Did he say anything?"

"He said he would take us to play for a few days and that you would come too, but I felt he wasn't a good person, so I refused to go. The teacher took me back to the classroom and said my sister would be back later."

Han Yuxuan started crying as she spoke: "Mom, you told me that I could never abandon my sister no matter what. I promised you that I would bring her back every day. When I got on the school bus, they said that my sister had already gone back. I only found out that she had been taken away when I came back."

No wonder Han Yuxuan was so agitated; it turns out she knew she had been deceived and felt sorry for her mother's request.

But how could young children be a match for the big bad wolf? The adults could easily separate the siblings with a few simple tricks.

"Yuxuan, don't blame yourself. These people are too cunning. Don't worry, your father has already gone to pick her up and will bring her back soon."

Judging from her expression, Grandma Gu knew things weren't that simple.

The news of Shen Qingzhou's bankruptcy abroad has already spread in China, and some people are even criticizing Shen Jiheng behind his back for being cold-hearted and ruthless, not even helping his own father.

Of course, these are just people who enjoy watching the drama and gossip behind people's backs. People like him are not worth helping at all.

Han Yuxuan looked at her with teary eyes and asked, "Mom, is it true? Dad went to pick her up."

"Of course it's true. Go back to your room and play for a while. I'll call you when your sister comes back."

As Han Xi spoke, she winked at the nanny, signaling them to calm Han Yuxuan down first, as she needed to handle any unexpected situations that might arise.

Han Yuxuan knew better and went back to her room first, but Grandma Gu held her hand with concern.

"Han Xi, he is the child's biological grandfather after all, he shouldn't do anything heinous."

Han Xi shook her head; she really didn't dare to offer the slightest compliment to this person.

She murmured, "A man who can abandon his mother and children and cruelly betray his wife, I really don't know what else he wouldn't do."

Han Xi became increasingly nervous as he spoke, wondering what he wanted to do by summoning Shen Jiheng in this way.

But her unease reminded her that this was definitely not a good thing.

"Grandma, is there any way to find out where Shen Qingzhou is? I can't wait like this any longer."

Shen Jiheng is still halfway there, and Shen Qingzhou is probably worried that someone is following them, so she will make the driver take a detour before going back.

Although Qin Chuan said that Shen Jiheng had a GPS-enabled phone, she still couldn't wait, worried that something might happen to the child.

Han Yumo has finally become more cheerful, and Han Xi is really afraid that this incident will leave her with psychological trauma.

Grandma Gu nodded and said, "I'll have your grandfather help you investigate. He knows the relevant people, but I don't trust you to do it yourself. Your brother isn't here, so I'll have Ji Heng handle it."

Han Xi thought for a moment and said, "Grandma, you're right. My strength alone is too small. I'll contact Director Wu right away. Ji Heng gave me his phone number before and told me that I could contact him if there was an emergency."

Although Han Xi was anxious, he knew very well that he could not act rashly under these circumstances.

If we can find Director Wu and get him to send officers, things will take a turn for the better.

Hearing this, Grandma Gu nodded in relief: "Okay, let's get started."

At first, Grandma Gu still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that Shen Qingzhou was at least a relative of the children and wouldn't harm them.

But after listening to Han Xi's analysis, he realized the importance of the matter and that no matter what, he couldn't let the child stay by his side.

After contacting Director Wu, Han Xi was told that he readily agreed to arrange for someone to protect her, and now all she needed to do was confirm her location before setting off.

Han Xi didn't know how things were going with Shen Jiheng, but she hoped she could bring the child back safely.

As Shen Jiheng sat in the car, he felt like he was going around in circles, realizing that the driver was deliberately taking detours. Could it be that he had noticed someone was following him?

He picked up his phone and asked, "Aren't we there yet? How much longer!"

"Be patient. I haven't even confirmed your safety yet, so how can I bring you here directly?"

Shen Qingzhou's words were full of suspicion. Before he was sure it was safe, how could he dare to bring Shen Jiheng here to his own destruction?

He knew that once he took this step, the last vestige of their father-son relationship would be torn apart, and this man would show absolutely no mercy.

Therefore, we must ensure that nothing goes wrong, because this time it's either him or me who dies.

Shen Jiheng sensed something was wrong. Shen Qingzhou was being so cautious this time, as if she had no intention of turning back.

Therefore, he only had one purpose in using this method.

That means he wanted to get rid of him and then seize all of the Shen family's assets.

If that's the case, the child will be in danger. After all, if he doesn't even want his own son, what does his granddaughter matter?

"Perhaps we can talk again. Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to release the child and then just kidnap me?"

Shen Jiheng was unsure what would happen next and only wanted to ensure the child's safety first.
