After Xi Quan finished speaking, he walked out. Although Ye Qing had been standing beside him the whole time, she didn't quite understand what Xi Quan meant. "Hey, what's going on...?"
Ye Qing called out to Xi Quan, even a little angry that he was not saying anything.
The security guard standing nearby was also a little embarrassed, wondering what this all meant.
Ye Qing glanced awkwardly at the security guard, caught up with Xi Quan, pressed down on the car door, and prevented Xi Quan from getting in: "What exactly do you mean?"
“I know that license plate number,” Xi Quan said.
Ye Qing was slightly taken aback. She had been so anxious that she hadn't thought about anything else; her mind was filled with thoughts of her child. Now, hearing Xi Quan say this, she was momentarily flustered before becoming extremely excited: "You know who it is? Who is it?"
Xi Quan didn't answer immediately. He glanced at Ye Qing, opened his mouth as if to speak, but then swallowed his words.
Although Xi Quan's hesitation made Ye Qing very anxious, she felt that since she knew the license plate number, she knew whose car it was, and that was enough. If the child was really in the car at the time, then at least she would know where to look for him.
"Let's go then." With that, Ye Qing opened the car door and got in first.
Xi Quan took a deep breath and paused for a moment. Although he got into the car, he didn't drive off immediately. Instead, he made a phone call, but the other party didn't seem to answer.
“No one’s answering? Calling won’t help. We’re going to find the kids anyway, so let’s just go there,” Ye Qing said to Xi Quan.
Although she feels she has a direction now, Ye Qing doesn't dare to be blindly optimistic before seeing her child, so she is now praying to see her child as soon as possible.
Xi Quan had no objections. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ye Shuang still standing at the entrance of the community in the rearview mirrors on both sides of the car. After thinking for a moment, he got out of the car and walked back to the entrance of the community. He said to Ye Shuang and the security guard, "Please keep an eye out. If you see the child, call Ye Qing and me. We'll go find the owner of the ticket number we just mentioned."
"Okay, you guys go ahead." Ye Shuang quickly nodded in agreement.
Although he had asked the security guard about the suspicious vehicle and roughly knew who it belonged to, no one really knew whether Xi Quan's child was in the car. Maybe the child was still in the community. So Xi Quan thought he should make a phone call first.
However, no one answered the phone, and Ye Qing was very anxious, so Xi Quan decided to split up.
Ye Qing had no idea what Xi Quan had said to Ye Shuang and the others after getting out of the car. Moreover, Ye Qing's mind was full of thoughts about her two children, and she had no interest in such matters.
Xi Quan wondered if the child might still be in the neighborhood, but Ye Qing had already searched the neighborhood many times without finding the child, so she was convinced that the child was definitely in the car the security guard mentioned. Therefore, Ye Qing kept urging Xi Quan to hurry up.
Seeing that Xi Quan had already driven off, Ye Qing stopped urging him, but she was still nervous and uneasy.
Seeing that Ye Qing was so nervous, Xi Quan wanted to say a few words of comfort to her, but after doing so, he found that it didn't seem to be of any use, so he simply stopped talking. As a parent himself, he could understand Ye Qing's feelings.
So the two remained almost silent the entire way.
Although Ye Qing remained silent throughout the journey, she kept a close eye on the road. Seeing that Xi Quan was heading in a completely unfamiliar direction, Ye Qing couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"
Xi Quan knew the license plate number, which means that Xi Quan should know the owner of the car. Ye Qing knew this from the beginning, but because he was in a hurry, he forgot to ask who the owner of the car was and whether he knew him or not.
As the road grew increasingly unfamiliar, Ye Qing's panic intensified.
Ye Qing originally thought that since Xi Quan knew the license plate number, he must be very familiar with the car owner. If they were familiar, then the other party should not have any malicious intent. Moreover, the child followed the other party without any struggle, which meant that the child also knew the other party. In that case, it should be a misunderstanding.
However, if it's not someone Xi Quan is very familiar with, just someone he knows...
Ye Qing dared not think any further.
Upon hearing Ye Qing's question, Xi Quan turned the steering wheel and said, "Go find Ye Yiran and Ye Yixin and see if they are there."
As they were talking, the car entered the residential area. Not far away, Xi Quan stopped the car.
"Get off the bus."
Ye Qing was still a little confused. Hearing Xi Quan's words, she hesitantly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. Just as she closed the car door, before she could even ask Xi Quan where she was, she saw someone walking towards her from not far away.
Ye Qing knows him!
She stared at the person walking towards her and Xi Quan for a while, then grabbed Xi Quan's arm: "Isn't that Su Zhe?"
Xi Quan nodded.
Ye Qing was already feeling uneasy, and seeing Su Zhe didn't ease her mind at all.
Ye Qing was a bit flustered and anxious earlier and didn't think much about many things. Now that she saw Su Zhe, Ye Qing slowly calmed down and remembered Xi Quan's expression when he heard the security guard say the license plate number.
At the same time, Ye Qing overturned her previous thought, which was that if it was someone she knew, it should be fine.
But now that Ye Qing sees Su Zhe, she feels that acquaintances are more terrifying, because acquaintances know how Xi Quan and she can contact each other. How could they take the child away without saying a word?
This doesn't make sense.
Before Ye Qing could figure out what was going on, Su Zhe had already walked over. He calmly greeted Ye Qing and Xi Quan, "Brother, sister-in-law."
Xi Quan nodded: "What is this...?"
"You just went out. Are you leaving or did you just arrive?" Su Zhe asked.
Xi Quan narrowed his eyes and glanced to the side: "Didn't you drive?"
Following Xi Quan's gaze, Su Zhe said, "Because of my health, I don't go out much. So every time I go out, I treat it as a form of exercise. If the distance is short, I usually walk; if it's long, I drive. My grandfather said he wanted to go out, so I left the car behind."
Ye Qing followed Xi Quan's gaze and saw the car not far away. Upon seeing the license plate number, she suddenly remembered what the security guard had said.
It's Su Zhe's car!
Su Zhe left the car behind without driving; he left it with Xi Quan's maternal grandfather!
Ye Qing nervously grabbed Xi Quan's arm.
Previously, due to various reasons, this was Ye Qing's first time visiting Xi Quan's maternal grandfather's house, so she was initially very unfamiliar with the place. Now that she knew, she was even more worried, because Xi Quan's maternal grandfather had never been very kind to Xi Quan.
"Did something happen?" Su Zhe asked, noticing that Xi Quan had been looking rather gloomy since asking him, and that he was staring intently at the car. Ye Qing was extremely nervous.
It's worth noting that Xi Quan rarely visits in person; he usually calls instead. Since he always ends up arguing with his grandfather whenever he comes over, Xi Quan figured it was best to avoid upsetting him. Therefore, Su Zhe usually tells Xi Quan everything.
Now that Xi Quan has arrived and looks so unwell, Su Zhe is starting to feel nervous.
