I leaned back in my seat in a compromising manner and nodded reluctantly.
"Okay, I'll wait a little longer."
There was helplessness in my voice, but I still told myself to stay calm.
In the current situation, whichever side loses patience first will lose first.
Seeing that I had calmed down, Mingyuan told Li Tao to drive.
Along the way, with Mingyuan's comfort, my heart gradually calmed down.
The car stopped at Ming Mansion, and Mingyuan and I walked into the villa one after another.
"elder sister!"
As soon as I stepped into the living room, Che Xiaofeng ran towards me happily with a test paper in his hand.
He showed off to me excitedly: "Look, sister, I got full marks on this math test!"
When I saw the test paper, I was shocked at first, and a string in my head suddenly tightened.
I asked warily, "Where did you get this test? Have you been to school?"
Che Xiaofeng quickly shook his head. "No, I didn't go to school. The teacher sent it to the class group. The maid printed it out for me."
Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief, realizing that I was a little excited just now and might have scared Che Xiaofeng.
I quickly forced a smile and patted Che Xiaofeng's head: "Xiaofeng is awesome! You've achieved such good results in such a short period of tutoring. That's really great!"
Che Xiaofeng proudly held up the test paper, gloating over it. "I'm going to keep this test paper safe. When my dad comes, I'll show him! Let him know I'm really studying hard!"
I smiled and agreed: "Okay, then your sister will tell your father how hard you work."
Looking at Che Xiaofeng's happy expression, I felt mixed emotions, and I felt more sympathy for the child.
He should have been studying carefree at school, but he was forced into the conspiracy and disputes of adults.
Che Xiaofeng is actually very smart and studies very hard. He really cherishes the opportunity to go to school.
I even thought that as long as Che Xiaofeng's father knew something and was willing to tell us the truth, I would be willing to arrange for them to go to a safe place, give them some money, let Che Xiaofeng go to school well, and let them live a peaceful life.
But all of this is just my personal wish at the moment.
Two days later, the cargo ship carrying Che Chi had landed in the capital, and Che Chi was naturally not on the ship.
After I got the news, I immediately went to ask Mingyuan, "What's going on? Did the people you sent bring Che Chi back?"
Mingyuan glanced at me with a unhappy expression.
My heart trembled and I had a vague premonition of something.
I asked worriedly, "What happened? Did the people you sent pick up the car?"
Mingyuan shook his head solemnly.
"My people didn't get through to Che Chi at all. Now not only haven't they seen Che Chi, but my people have also lost contact."
My eyes widened in surprise.
"How could this happen?" I began to feel uneasy. "Could it be that Mr.'s people noticed?"
Mingyuan couldn't be sure for a moment.
He said in a serious tone, "I've already sent someone to investigate, and there should be results soon."
I responded softly, and the uneasiness in my heart became stronger.
I promised Che Xiaofeng that I would let him meet his father, but now I am afraid I will have to break my promise.
And if it really was Mr.'s people who noticed it, then not only would Che Chi be in danger, but Mingyuan would also be exposed.
Knowing that Mingyuan is investigating secretly, I am afraid that Mr.'s people will not let Mingyuan go, and there is no guarantee that the Ming family will not be implicated.
