"To the airport."
Chi Zhao, "..."
He thought that even if they went to the airport, it would be too late. They only had ten minutes left. In ten minutes, they would be lucky if they could even get to the hospital entrance.
Of course, Chi Zhao thought about it and realized he couldn't say that. Shen Lin was in the worst mood right now, and if he said that, he would be repeatedly hitting Shen Lin's sore spots.
...
Airport.
Aunt Wen sat beside Ye Xinning, listening to Ye Xinning finish her phone call, her gaze complicated. "Miss."
Ye Xinning lowered her head, her eyes showing no sadness, but rather a numbness.
"Let's go, Aunt Wen."
Aunt Wen didn't say what was on the tip of her tongue. Watching Ye Xinning get up and leave, she could only sigh silently and follow after him.
Upon arriving in Ye City, Ye Xinning met Ye Weiran.
Ye Weiran was surprised by Ye Xinning's sudden arrival in Ye City. Seeing that Ye Xinning's complexion was not good, she couldn't help but worry, "Auntie, did something happen to you?"
Ye Xinning simply shook her head. "It's nothing. Did you find the person I asked you to investigate?"
Ye Weiran: "It will take a little more time. Is Auntie in a hurry?"
Are you in a hurry?
Ye Xinning thought about it and realized he was indeed anxious.
However, she also knew that if Jiang An was determined to hide, it would indeed be quite difficult to investigate him.
"Please hurry up and check it for me. Let me know when you find it."
"good."
"I'm going to take a nap. Are there any rooms available?"
"Yes, everything has been arranged for my aunt."
“Okay.” Ye Xinning said to Ye Weiran as she went upstairs, “If anyone comes looking for me, just say I’m not here, including Shen Lin.”
Ye Weiran didn't know why Ye Xinning wanted to do this, but since Ye Xinning said so, she had no choice but to do as he said.
"Okay, I understand. Auntie, please rest assured."
Three days after Ye Xinning arrived in Yecheng, Ye Weiran helped her find Jiang An's residence.
On the day Ye Xinning went to find Jiang An, she received a call from Ji Jianshen.
On the phone, Ji Jianshen's voice was deep and heavy. For the first time, he was angry about Ye Xinning's disappearance. "You've been bearing all this alone, and you've never thought of telling me? In your heart, do you think you have to bear everything by yourself?"
Ye Xinning could sense that Ji Jianshen was angry, but no matter what, she simply said calmly, "I can handle it."
"It's not a question of whether you can solve it or not, but that you don't need to carry this burden alone, you know?"
Ye Xinning wanted to say that she wasn't carrying the burden alone, and that it wasn't that exaggerated, but when the words reached her lips, she felt that saying those things at this time would be somewhat superfluous.
"I sent Zhou Yun to Yecheng to find you. Judging by the time, he should arrive today. If you need anything, take him with you. I'll come find you as soon as I'm done here. We'll figure out a solution for Uncle Song's matter together. He'll be fine."
Ye Xinning wanted to say that there was no need to trouble Zhou Yun to come over, but Ji Jianshen had already made all the arrangements, so there was no point in her refusing now.
"I see."
Ji Jianshen gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone.
Ye Xinning and Ye Weiran went together to where Jiang An was.
It was a very old neighborhood. In order to lower Jiang An's guard, Ye Xinning did not knock on the door herself, but instead asked Ye Weiran to go first.
Ye Weiran knocked on the door, and after a short while, the door opened, and Jiang An appeared alone in the doorway.
Looking at Ye Weiran, whom he had never seen before, Jiang An asked in confusion, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
Ye Weiran asked, "Hello, do you live here alone?"
Jiang An looked at Ye Weiran warily. It was really hard not to find it strange that someone would suddenly appear and ask such a question.
"Is there anything I can help you with? If not, I'm closing the door."
Jiang An was about to close the door when Ye Xinning walked out from the corner. In the dim light of the corridor, Ye Xinning's features appeared deep and complex.
"She has nothing to do with you, but I have something to do with you."
Jiang An stared at Ye Xinning, who had suddenly appeared, frozen in place, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Ye Xinning, how could it be you?"
Ye Xinning stood opposite Jiang An, merely smiling at Jiang An's words, appearing utterly inscrutable. "Am I the one who's strange? Or is it that Jiang An really thinks he can escape unscathed by hiding in Ye City? If that's what you think, then I must say, you're incredibly naive and foolish."
"Let me tell you, Ye Xinning, even if you come..." Before Jiang An could finish speaking, Ye Xinning raised her hand, and the next second, a heavy slap landed on Jiang An's face.
Jiang An didn't have time to dodge, and more importantly, she didn't expect Ye Xinning to attack her.
She covered her face, looking at Ye Xinning in disbelief, "You hit me?"
Ye Xinning lowered her head, looking at her reddened palms, her voice as cold as ice, "I hit you, so what? Is this the first time I've hit you? Or do you think you're wronged by me slapping you?"
Jiang An was so angry at Ye Xinning's words that his face turned green.
She raised her hand, ready to retaliate against the slap Ye Xinning had just delivered.
But Ye Xinning gripped her hand tightly the moment she raised it. "Want to fight back? Jiang An, do you even have the right to fight back in front of me?"
Jiang An bit her lip hard. Ye Xinning looked at her, seeing her most wronged expression, and laughed. "Jiang An, have I ever said that if Shen Lin wants it, fine, I'll give you the position of Mrs. Shen. I've already gone to such lengths, yet you still keep pushing me. Do you really think I, Ye Xinning, am some kind of pushover that you can manipulate at will?"
Jiang An stared at Ye Xinning, her red lips pressed tightly together, and remained silent.
Ye Xinning stepped forward, while Jiang An retreated in horror.
Ye Xinning didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Where's the child?"
Jiang An stared at Ye Xinning in shock, never expecting that Ye Xinning would actually set her sights on the child.
“The child isn’t here; I sent him away a long time ago.”
Looking at Jiang An's evasive eyes, Ye Xinning knew perfectly well that what Jiang An was saying had no credibility whatsoever.
Do you think I'll believe what you're saying?
"Really, I'm not lying to you."
Ye Xinning didn't want to waste words with Jiang An, so she stepped directly into the house.
Seeing this, Jiang An shouted like a madman, "Ye Xinning, you can't come in! This is my place! This is trespassing! I can call the police to arrest you!"
"Call the police," Ye Xinning said coldly.
Jiang An grabbed Ye Xinning's hand, but Ye Xinning shook him off, and Jiang An lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Ye Xinning went straight to the bedroom. On the bed, the child was fast asleep, neither crying nor making a fuss. Just thinking that this was Jiang An and Shen Lin's child made Ye Xinning feel as if her heart was being pierced by needles, and she still felt a dense, persistent pain.
