Ye Ningwan had a bad feeling about this. She frowned and answered the phone.

The housekeeping manager's anxious and apologetic voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Miss Ye, we are so sorry. We delivered breakfast to the room as you instructed, but we have searched the entire room and cannot find the two children."

Ye Ningwan stopped in her tracks, her face extremely pale.

It was springtime, but Ye Ningwan felt the scorching sun overhead making her dizzy.

"What! What exactly happened? Explain yourself! I signed up for your care service, and this is how your hotel operates?"

Ye Ningwan spoke sharply and sternly, startling the person on the other end of the phone into silence.

Ye Ningwan was extremely anxious and subconsciously took a step to rush back, her tone dozens of times colder than before.

"say!"

The housekeeping manager on the other end of the phone was almost in tears, speaking cautiously and choking back sobs to Ye Ningwan.

"I'm so sorry, I thought the child was still sleeping and didn't want to disturb them. I told them to come up after 9:30, but I didn't expect..."

Ye Ningwan naturally understood the other party's attempt to evade responsibility, which only fueled her anger.

But finding the two little ones is the most important thing right now; arguing with the hotel staff about who's right and who's wrong isn't the most important thing.

Ye Jingyu and Xiaoxing have been living in Country A since birth and are completely unfamiliar with Jiangcheng. They don't know if they will encounter bad people after getting lost...

Ye Ningwan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and dared not think about those possibilities any further.

Her two children are her life, her motivation to keep living.

Have you checked the surveillance footage?

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, with only some light footsteps and a bit of noise.

Ye Ningwan guessed that the other party must have checked the surveillance footage.

After a long while, the housekeeping manager finally spoke to Ye Ningwan, panting.

“Ms. Ye…Ms. Ye, the surveillance footage shows that the two children left the hotel through the back door at 9:26 AM. They took a taxi, and the license plate number is…”

Ye Ningwan silently memorized the license plate number and then gave a message to the hotel staff.

“You should also send people out to search. If my son comes back, be sure to let me know immediately.”

Before anyone could say anything, Ye Ningwan hurriedly hung up the phone and started hacking into the Transportation Bureau's internal network system.

Every taxi is registered on the transportation department's intranet, which includes the driver's phone number and address. Ye Ningwan quickly contacted the driver of the car that Ye Jingyu and Xiaoxing had ridden in.

"Oh, those two very handsome little boys you mentioned, I remember them, but which one are you?"

Ye Ningwan's voice was urgent, and her speaking speed became very fast.

"Hello, I am the mother of those two children. They are now missing. Could you please tell me where they got off the bus?"

The driver sighed when he heard Ye Ningwan's voice sounding like she was about to cry.

"Sigh, you're such a terrible mother! How could you let your two children run around outside without anyone accompanying them? What if something happens to them!"

The driver had a strong desire to teach, and he lectured Ye Ningwan for a long time.

Ye Ningwan didn't speak. Just when she was about to reach her limit, the driver slowly uttered a sentence.

“I took them from the International Hotel to Anderson Hospital. I overheard them talking, and it seemed like they were going to find their father!”

Ye Ningwan was taken aback.

dad?

Even she didn't know who the two little ones' father was, so how did the two little ones know?

Or perhaps... recalling the phone call she received from Pei Fengzhi last night, Ye Ningwan couldn't help but wonder if the two little ones had misunderstood something.

She sighed helplessly. She had to find the two little ones first, no matter what. Fortunately, she hadn't left the hospital yet.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Ningwan went to the hospital's security department first.

After all, she couldn't let the Pei family know that she had a child yet. It didn't matter if the Pei family made things difficult for her, but if the Pei family sent someone to secretly get rid of a child who didn't belong to the Pei family for the sake of their reputation, then that would be a big problem.

She couldn't possibly gamble with Yu Yu and Xiao Xing's lives.

...

Anderson Private Hospital Security Department.

The security manager stood respectfully beside Ye Ningwan.

The Pei family are shareholders of the hospital, and this lady is the newlywed wife of the ninth master of the Pei family. How could they dare to be disrespectful?

Although Pei Fengzhi has lost his real power and is practically crippled, he is still the powerful and wealthy Ninth Master Pei in the eyes of ordinary people, and not someone that ordinary commoners can easily offend.

"Ninth Madam, how about I send someone to look for them? What do you want to know what they look like? It would be best if you could have a photo or something. I have quite a few men under my command, they can help you look..."

Ye Ningwan's gaze remained fixed on the screen. She had turned the playback speed up to 4x and opened six screens at once, her eyes rapidly scanning each one. She even had time to respond to the security manager's words.

"No need, I can manage on my own, without taking up public resources."

In fact, she didn't even tell the security manager who she wanted to see, for fear that the security manager might impulsively try to curry favor with the Pei family, giving them any clues.

The security manager was about to say something when Ye Ningwan suddenly slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly.

The security manager was startled and couldn't help but shudder.

Ye Ningwan stared in shock at one of the six screens.

The lights in the security room were broken and hadn't been fixed yet, leaving the entire room dimly lit. The flickering blue light from the screen reflected off Ye Ningwan's face, making her complexion appear even more somber and unsettling.

The security manager cautiously followed Ye Ningwan's gaze to a screen on the desk.

I saw that the screen was frozen on a certain image.

The image is slightly blurry, showing a tall, slender woman with long hair holding a small child's hand as they walk out of the hospital ward.

Ye Ningwan suddenly made a move, her fingers tapping a few times on the keyboard. Immediately, images from several other surveillance cameras popped up on the screen, including those from the road leading out of the inpatient building and those from several entrances to the hospital.

Finally, Ye Ningwan saw Pei Fengzhi holding Xiaoxing's hand at the southeast exit of the hospital.

Ye Ningwan felt as if a mushroom cloud had exploded in her mind, leaving her in ruins and completely blank, devoid of any thoughts.

She felt uneasy, her heart pounding wildly.

What exactly happened?

Why did Xiaoxing end up with Pei Fengzhi?

So what about Yuyu? Where is Yuyu?
