In the hotel suite, the hotel's thick blackout curtains blocked the bright lights inside the suite. Chu Jianshu, wearing a simple set of pajamas, was working on a laptop computer on the desk in the suite.
Chu Jianshu is having a video conference with his secretary Song Wenqi.
"Thank you for your hard work, Wen Qiu." After finishing the work report, Chu Jianshu's voice was no longer cold, as if he was having a casual conversation with a friend.
"How's the situation on your side?" Song Wenqi asked.
"It's not going smoothly, but Yigui is very positive and is now at Wanqiu's home." Chu Jianshu sighed lightly.
"That young master." Song Wenqiu's tone was a little weak when he mentioned Chu Yigui, "Doesn't he mind at all?"
"He seemed quite calm."
Song Wenqiu said, "How could this be nothing? It would be strange if Chu Yigui really thought it was nothing."
Although Chu Jianshu didn't like others making up stories about his children, he had to admit that what Song Wenqi said was true.
The relationship between Chu Yigui and Wan Qiu is indeed not something that is easy to let go of.
"That child has always had his own ideas." Chu Jianshu could only respond ambiguously.
Song Wenqi did not comment further.
"Wen Qiu, are Chu Zhang and Yang Ze okay now?" Chu Jianshu asked his two sons.
"Yang Ze is in good working condition, but Chu Zhang cannot be contacted. It seems that this filming is completely closed. It would be better to let my wife go and contact him." Song Wenqi said.
Chu Jianshu glanced at his wife, who was leaning against the headboard of the hotel's double bed, wearing Bluetooth headphones, reading messages on her mobile phone, and listening carefully to something with her eyes lowered.
It was obvious that Yang Xiaoyu was now completely focused on Wan Qiu and had no time to care about anything else.
Song Wenqiu asked, "Don't you tell them?"
Chu Jianshu sighed unconsciously: "Wait a little longer, everything has to be done one by one."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Jianshu rubbed his brows.
My wife’s condition has not yet stabilized. If the other two children knew about the current situation, I’m afraid the situation would become difficult to control.
after all……
Wanqiu’s disappearance was also due to the negligence of these two children, which ultimately led to this result.
Neither Chu Zhang nor Yang Ze could face Wan Qiu directly.
Chu Jianshu’s thoughts stopped when he saw Yang Xiaoyu’s lost expression.
"Xiao Yu, what's wrong?" Chu Jianshu keenly noticed the change in his wife and immediately walked to his wife's side.
Yang Xiaoyu took off his Bluetooth headset, and the not-so-clear audio of the conversation between the two teenagers came out loud on his phone.
It was a conversation between Chu Yigui and Wan Qiu, and Chu Jianshu's eyes flickered slightly.
They are two brightly colored flowers that should have bloomed, but they feel as if they were frozen in hard ice, making it hard to breathe.
"I'm a very bad mother." Yang Xiaoyu, who used to be extremely delicate, now leaned against the head of the bed in a fragile manner, covering her eyes with her hands. "I couldn't protect my child, and I also ignored the child I should have treated well."
"Xiao Yu, you have worked very hard. You are trying to do your best."
Chu Jianshu's comfort did not make Yang Xiaoyu feel better. Any comfort was just self-deception. Yang Xiaoyu knew clearly how much she had failed in her role as a mother.
"Why did I let my children think that living in such a home is a blessing?" Yang Xiaoyu's voice was choked with sobs.
Chu Jianshu comforted Yang Xiaoyu and also took the time to look at his mobile phone.
Photos of scars left by hideous wounds came into view. As a father, Chu Jianshu could not accept this no matter how hard he tried to calm himself.
Wan Qiu's still childish voice calmly narrated the past, which made Chu Jianshu deeply understand Yang Xiaoyu's feelings.
It's their fault as parents.
This will make their children dependent on such scum.
After calming down a little, Chu Jianshu suddenly realized that Chu Yigui did not send this information to him and Yang Xiaoyu alone, but sent it directly to their family group.
This was a small family group of five people that was usually too quiet. Only one or two messages would appear when there were important events that required the attendance of the whole family. But now it was all news about Chu Yigui.
Chu Jianshu was slightly surprised. What was Chu Yigui doing?
Wouldn't this let Chu Zhang and Yang Ze know about it? Was this intentional?
Given that child's character, it's impossible for him not to know that doing this would cause chaos. What on earth was that child thinking?
Suddenly Chu Jianshu saw the caller ID of Yang Ze's phone. It was expected that Yang Ze, who always handled messages immediately to avoid problems at work, would find it immediately.
The calm voice of his second child was immediately heard on the connected phone. Through the phone, Chu Jianshu couldn't even judge Yang Ze's expression at the moment.
"Father, is it your brother?"
Chu Jianshu replied, "It's Wan Qiu."
"Is he still called Wan Qiu now? Did he not change his name? Does that mean it is certain that the crime was committed by an acquaintance?"
Yang Ze immediately discovered the contradiction. Wan Qiu’s original name was actually Chu Wan Qiu.
Chu Jianshu frowned: "Not sure."
We can only guess that when Wan Xiaohua took Wan Qiu away, it was not necessarily a crime committed in the heat of the moment. It is very likely that she took him away after observation. She may have known Wan Qiu's name in advance.
But Wan Xiaohua is dead, and there is no way to verify the name.
Yang Ze paused for a moment before saying, "In other words, the traffickers were secretly observing nearby at the time?"
Chu Jianshu's heartbeat quickened. If this was true, it would be a huge blow to Yang Ze. He could only say vaguely, "Yang Ze, don't make too many guesses."
Yang Ze then said, "Are these photos taken by Chu Yigui the evidence of Wan Qiu being abused? Do you need me to contact the police and submit the evidence to the court? When are you going to pick up my brother?"
Chu Jianshu and Yang Xiaoyu were a strong marriage, with one child taking the father's surname and the other taking the mother's surname, but in the end it was Yang Ze's personality that was most like his own.
So Chu Jianshu knew that Yang Ze was not a talkative child. This series of questions was enough for Chu Jianshu to judge that Yang Ze’s mood was not stable.
Chu Jianshu replied: "Don't do anything yet, the situation here at Wanqiu is a bit special."
"What do you need me to do?"
Chu Jianshu knew that if he didn't let Yang Ze do anything, he would become even more confused.
"Let's tidy up the room that has been given to Wan Qiu at home."
Yang Ze seemed to have noticed Chu Jianshu's perfunctory attitude towards him, and at the end, he just said: "I'm glad that my brother was found. I will wait for him to come back."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Jianshu sighed.
Chu Zhang probably really couldn't access his cell phone, as there had been no news from him.
Chu Jianshu seemed to see the undercurrent hidden beneath the calm water surface, gradually emerging.
