It was past 1 a.m. when they arrived at the Ji family's house.
Apart from Beibei, Guoguo, and Zizai, who were already asleep, the rest of the Ji family members were sitting in the living room waiting for the three of them.
"Sister Huai, I bet you haven't eaten yet. Have something to eat first!" Le Tong was always thoughtful. As soon as they entered, she asked Aunt Guan to bring out three bowls of steaming noodles.
More than filling their stomachs, Yanbo and his wife, along with Yan Han, were naturally more concerned about the little guy, Zizai. The three of them stubbornly went to the bedroom to check on Zizai first, and after staying for a while, they came out and ate their noodles.
Because it was so late, Yan Bo and his wife felt embarrassed to have the Ji family stay with them. After some persuasion, only Ji Huan and Xiao Yu were left in the living room with the three of them.
After they finished eating the noodles, Ji Huan led them to the guest rooms to rest.
"Xiao Huan, Zizai's bed is so big, your Uncle Yan and I can sleep with Zizai."
The reason Madam Yan said this wasn't because the bed was big, but because the little one sleeping in it was their precious grandson. They would be willing to share a bed with the younger family, or even sleep on the floor.
"Okay, I'll go get you an extra blanket."
After settling Yan Bo and his wife in, Ji Huan led Yan Han to the next guest room. The two said no more, exchanged goodnights, and then Ji Huan left.
After Yan Han and Ji Huan left, Yan Han got up and went outside, knocking on the door next door.
It was Yan Bo who opened the door.
"I knew you couldn't resist coming over to see," Yan Bo teased his son with a smile.
Yan Han shrugged. "Just like you guys used to, you'd take a day off to come to the capital to see me, and you treated me like a precious treasure, didn't you?"
Well, it seems all parents in the world feel the same way.
As soon as Yan Han entered the door, he saw his mother lying down next to the little guy, her eyes fixed intently on his face.
"Mom, it's not good for you to lie like that."
Yan Han forgot that he himself looked much like his mother yesterday.
"She's been lying like this the whole time, and she doesn't seem to get tired."
Yanbo was also a little resentful. He was the grandfather, so why couldn't she even let him get a close look? She just lay there motionless, only letting him stand by the bed to look at her.
Hearing the father and son's voices, Old Madam Yan slightly raised her head, glared at them, and said, "Are you looking for death? What's all the noise about?"
Yan Bo and Yan Han immediately understood, stopped talking to each other, and tiptoed to the bedside.
After looking at him for a while, Madam Yan said softly, "Xiao Han, Zizai looks just like you!"
Yan Han silently rolled his eyes in his heart. Isn't that obvious? He's my biological son, how could he not look like me?
The three adults, who were having a blast, kept very quiet so as not to disturb the baby. They just lay there, standing and watching until they were too sleepy to continue, and then they went to bed.
Meanwhile, Yanbo and his wife, who were with Zizai, were too tired to sleep because they were too excited. However, they were afraid of disturbing Zizai, so neither of them spoke and they just lay there quietly.
Yan Han, who was sleeping next door, also couldn't sleep.
Because his son was sleeping peacefully next door, his anxiety about his son had subsided.
I can't sleep because of the bamboo shadows.
Actually, he started thinking about it yesterday: why did Zhu Qianying send Zizai back?
Although, rationally speaking, he felt that Zhu Qianying sent Zizai back because she had encountered trouble.
But from an emotional point of view, he would rather she sent Zizai back because she couldn't support him.
However, he knew better than anyone that there was zero chance she wouldn't be able to support Zizai.
How could such a smart and proud woman not be able to support her son?
So, she must have run into some trouble.
Unfortunately, the feedback he provided regarding the new leads over the past two days has been overwhelmingly negative, with almost every single one leading to a dead end upon investigation.
He had to admit that Zhu Qianying was indeed clever!
Putting aside the fact that he controls the Tong family's extensive underground network across the country, the Yanhuang Group's connections within China alone make it difficult for them to evade his investigation and search.
Ironically, she managed to live peacefully for five years thanks to his extensive network of connections with both the Yan and Tong families.
He had no doubt about his subordinate's abilities; all he could say was that she was incredibly intelligent.
Take, for example, the bizarre idea of sending Zizai back by express delivery. Who else could have come up with it? Even if they could, they wouldn't dare to try it!
And she was able to come up with the idea, and she dared to try it!
She was just as she always was, unchanged!
His boldness and daring were so striking that he had to take notice!
Yan Han spent the entire night pondering Zhu Qianying's matter, and only managed to close his eyes briefly around dawn.
When he got up and went downstairs, he found it was incredibly lively.
Because most of the Ji family members had gotten up. The adults were getting ready to go to work, while Beibei and Guoguo, who are now in elementary school, had also put on their little schoolbags and were holding hands, ready to go out.
"Hello, Uncle!" Beibei and Guoguo greeted Yan Han in unison.
Good morning, Beibeiguoguo!
Over the past few years, Yan Han has often envied Young Master Ji, who has a beautiful wife and two children.
But he himself was all alone.
Looking at Beibei and Guoguo now, that envy is gone. Because Yan Han, too, has a son now.
As for his beautiful wife, he should be found soon!
With a hopeful heart, Yan Han first made a phone call to Qin Xiu to explain some work matters, and then called back to the Tong family to find out about the progress of the investigation.
The information coming back from the Tong family is still the same as before: no progress whatsoever.
The words "no progress" made Yan Han feel somewhat frustrated, but soon he thought of his son.
Yes, in the past, when there was no progress, it was like a dead end, telling him that this road was blocked.
But right now, with his son around, his son has become a broad road leading to Zhu Qianying. However, he must first find a way to open the entrance to this road.
After making several phone calls, Yan Han wanted to go upstairs to see if Zizai had woken up. Before she could get up, she heard footsteps coming from the hallway. Looking up, she saw her parents holding Zizai's left and right hands respectively, and the three of them walked downstairs together.
Then, Yan Han heard Zizai ask in a soft, sweet voice, "Grandpa and Grandma, did you really take a big yacht to see dolphins at sea?"
Yan Han praised himself for his cleverness; sure enough, the little guy was very close to his parents.
On the other hand, he silently lit a long row of candles for himself. It seems that in his precious son's mind, he, as the father, is really so awful that he doesn't even want to talk to him!
