This little guy, actually, has always cared a lot about his mommy.
However, he probably promised his mother something before he left, so no matter how Yan Han or Yan Bo tried to coax him, they couldn't get him to talk.
You're saying he's just a little kid who's a little over four years old? Isn't this a bit too much?
“Zizai, it’s Daddy.” Yan Han said gently.
"Hmm..." The little guy's response was accompanied by soft breathing.
"Daddy is right here where Zai Zai and Mommy live, but the neighbor lady said that Mommy and Grandma went on a trip. Does Zai Zai know where Mommy went on a trip?"
At this moment, more than any other unknown factors, Yan Han hoped that Zhu Qianying had indeed gone on a trip with Chen Jing.
"I don't know..." Zizai answered in a muffled voice.
Yan Han could sense the little guy's disappointment and frustration from his tone; it sounded like the little guy really didn't know.
"Didn't Mommy and Grandma mention it?" Even though he knew his precious son was upset, Yan Han still hardened his heart and continued to ask.
"No..." The little guy's voice was very low, and Yan Han could almost see his precious son's sad appearance with his red eyes and head down.
All the questions I wanted to ask, I couldn't bring myself to ask.
"It's okay, Zizai. Don't worry, Daddy will definitely find Mommy."
"Oh..." Clearly, the little guy's mood had plummeted.
Yan Han suddenly regretted making that call.
"Goodbye, little one! Daddy loves you!"
Yan Han, who had never said the word "love" to anyone, easily gave his first expression of love to his beloved son.
The little guy didn't seem inclined to respond, only saying "Bye-bye..." softly before hanging up.
Even though the dial tone was already playing, Yan Han remained lost in thought for a while before slowly putting the phone away.
The person in Country M who was commissioned to investigate Zhu Qianying was a Country M man named McGovern. Yan Han received a call from him before going to sleep.
“Yan, your guess is correct. Before your son left, Zhu-Ying did encounter a lot of trouble.”
Yan Han was startled and immediately jumped out of bed.
"Tell me quickly, what happened?"
"Zhu-Ying's reputation in the US has grown significantly in recent years. Because of her, Ying Jewelry's business has flourished. A while ago, the largest jewelry chain in the US tried to poach Zhu-Ying with five times her salary, but she refused. Soon after, thugs started harassing her from time to time. Once, they injured her hand, and later burned down her residence near the main store. Not long after, they also burned down her car parked behind the main store."
Yan Han broke out in a cold sweat. No wonder she wanted to send her son back to China. In such a dangerous situation, she couldn't even protect herself, let alone her son.
Now, Yan Han didn't know whether to thank those thugs or hate them.
If it weren't for those thugs, Zhu Qianying would never have been able to send Zizai back to him, and he might never have known of Zizai's existence.
But it was these thugs who put Zhu Qianying in danger, and now her whereabouts are unknown.
"McGao, could you please check where she's been these past few days? She and her mother have both disappeared."
Yan Han is now unable to remain calm.
He was increasingly unsure whether Zhu Qianying and her daughter were on vacation, on the run, or had an accident.
He was so frightened by his last guess that he broke out in a cold sweat again. He was originally going to sleep, but he got up instead and made a lot of phone calls all night. By morning, he finally got in touch with a gang leader in the area through a friend surnamed Lei and arranged to meet at nine o'clock.
Yan Han hadn't slept all night. After washing up and having breakfast, he took several bodyguards who were protecting him and first went to patrol around Zhu Qianying's residence. Finding nothing amiss, he left one person to observe the situation around the house while the others accompanied Yan Han to meet the local gang leader.
"Mr. Yan, please have a seat!"
The gang leader was a middle-aged, strong man in his forties. He seemed quite easygoing and was very polite to Yan Han, not at all like a gangster.
However, Yan Han himself is also a young talent, but doesn't he also wear the dual identity of black and white?
"Hello, Mr. Jack!" Yan Han sat down with pleasure.
Jack's men served tea, and the two men each took a sip. They chatted briefly about the friend they both knew before quickly getting to the point.
"So, Zhu-Ying is Mr. Yan's wife?" Jack's words, upon closer inspection, seemed to imply that he also knew Zhu Qianying.
"That's right, Mr. Jack knows my wife?"
Yan Han felt that someone as intelligent as Zhu Qianying would be careful to avoid people with special backgrounds, so it was unlikely that she knew this Mr. Jack.
Similarly, aside from unavoidable hostility caused by competitive conflicts of interest, she is unlikely to offend anyone. Therefore, apart from the competitor mentioned by McGonagall who is the prime suspect, Yan Han cannot think of any other candidates.
"Well, I wouldn't say we know each other, but Zhu-Ying is quite famous in the fashion and jewelry industries. I've had the pleasure of seeing her a few times at fashion galas. She's a very talented, beautiful, and charming woman. Mr. Yan, you're very lucky."
Hearing Mr. Jack use several "very" to describe Zhu Qianying, Yan Han felt a surge of pride and self-satisfaction.
Presumably, anyone who has a wife as wonderful as Zhu Qianying would feel the same way.
"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Jack. I'm sure Mr. Ray has already mentioned to you that my wife has been subjected to a lot of harassment recently, and her physical and mental safety has been greatly threatened. I've come here today specifically to ask you, Mr. Jack, for a favor: to find out who is targeting my wife."
Yan Han didn't plan to mention Zhu Qianying's whereabouts for the time being, because McGonagall was still investigating Zhu Qianying's whereabouts, and Yan Han only wanted to use Jack's influence to find out the origins of the thugs who were harassing Zhu Qianying.
Another reason he didn't mention it was Cheng Ye's attitude.
After learning from Mai Gao that Zhu Qianying had been threatened and harmed, Yan Han was briefly flustered.
But later, after calming down, he recalled his meeting with Cheng Ye during the day, during which the other party remained calm and composed.
His manly intuition and Zizai's words both proved that Cheng Ye had a very good impression of Zhu Qianying.
Cheng Ye must have known about the threats and harassment Zhu Qianying was receiving, otherwise he wouldn't have helped send Zizai back to China.
Knowing this, the fact that Cheng Ye could remain so calm and composed meant that he was fully aware of Zhu Qianying's whereabouts, and that Zhu Qianying was definitely safe and sound at present.
