Jiang Cheng trembled with fear. "Young Master, I really didn't know. I took the child to the Meng family for treatment. After he recovered, I had my own reasons, so I left the child at the gate of an orphanage and never went back to check on him again..."
Zhan Jingting suddenly stood up. "Which orphanage!"
"Friendly Orphanage..."
Zhan Jingting coldly ordered, "Take him away and keep a close watch on him. Don't let him die."
The bodyguard nodded. "Yes."
Zhan Jingting looked at Jiang Dong, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Go investigate this orphanage."
Jiang Dong finally managed to regain his composure. "Yes, Master Zhan."
......
When Zhan Jingting returned to Wutong Bay, Qiao Wanwan had just come back from Eleven's room and asked anxiously, "How did it go? Did you find Jiang Cheng?"
"Found it."
Qiao Wanwan was overjoyed. "Did he reveal the child's whereabouts?"
“He abandoned the child at an orphanage, and I have already sent someone to investigate.”
"That's great! If they were left in an orphanage, their chances of survival would be much higher!"
"Jiang Dong has already investigated, and I believe we'll have news soon, so don't worry."
"Yes." Qiao Wanwan cried tears of joy. "I knew it. Our child is lucky and won't get into trouble easily."
"Sweetie, go wash up and go to bed."
"good."
The next morning, Jiang Dong called, "Master Zhan, I rushed to Suzhou overnight and found the You'ai Orphanage, but it was destroyed by a fire two years ago. It has been rebuilt now."
“I found out the new address of the orphanage and rushed over. The director pulled up the files, but the child my father mentioned wasn’t there.”
"How is that possible?"
“It’s true. I brought photos of the young master when he was a child and showed them to the long-time employees who work here. They all said they had never seen this child before.”
Zhan Jingting closed his eyes briefly. "Jiang Cheng wouldn't lie to me and ask the hospital for the surveillance footage from the orphanage back then."
“I asked, but too much time has passed, and even if the surveillance footage from that year was preserved, it was destroyed in that fire.”
Zhan Jingting frowned. "So, the trail has gone cold again?"
"Master Zhan, judging from the current situation, yes."
"You stay in Suzhou for now and go door-to-door in the vicinity of the original site of the orphanage to ask for clues, even if it's like finding a needle in a haystack."
"I understand, Master Zhan, don't worry."
Zhan Jingting hung up the phone and looked at Qiao Wanwan, who was playing with Shiyi in the garden, his brows furrowing slightly.
He could usually calm her down about anything else, but the child was a huge deal, one of the things Qiao Wanwan cared about most, and even he couldn't persuade her otherwise.
Qiao Wanwan was tired from playing, so she took Eleven back inside. In the distance, she saw Zhan Jingting standing under the eaves and walked over to ask, "What are you doing standing here? Is there any news from Suzhou?"
“Wanwan, we once said that we would never hide anything from each other again, and I keep my word.”
Qiao Wanwan had a bad feeling. "Has something happened?"
Zhan Jingting grasped her shoulders. "According to Jiang Cheng, the child was left at the orphanage gate, but when Jiang Dong went to investigate, there was no one from our family in the orphanage."
Qiao Wanwan's face paled. "Is Jiang Cheng lying?"
"That possibility certainly exists, but based on my understanding of Jiang Cheng, it's unlikely."
"What does that mean? Does it mean the child was adopted and the records were erased?"
Zhan Jingting shook his head. "Even if someone adopts a child, there will be a record. But the orphanage has no record of it. So it is very likely that the child was never taken into the orphanage at all."
Qiao Wanwan's fingertips trembled. "Jiang Cheng clearly said he put the child in an orphanage, but there are no children of ours in the orphanage. So where did our child go?"
"Still looking."
"I understand." Qiao Wanwan tried her best to remain calm. "It's okay. We were able to find Jiang Cheng, who had been lying in the shadows for more than ten years. I believe there will be a miracle. We will definitely find the child."
Zhan Jingting gently touched her face with tenderness, "Mmm."
......
In the afternoon, a black Rolls-Royce was parked outside the Zhan family's old mansion.
“Madam, this is the Zhan family’s old residence,” the bodyguard introduced. “Master Zhan’s grandfather and father lived here, and Master Zhan also grew up here. Later, after his father passed away, Madam moved away with him to avoid being reminded of the past.”
"The place where Jingting grew up..."
"Yes, Jiang Cheng is inside. Please come in, Madam."
Qiao Wanwan followed the bodyguard into the house. The interior was exquisitely decorated, exuding luxury, but it had been uninhabited for many years, and white cloths covered everything, making it look somewhat desolate.
The bodyguard led Qiao Wanwan to the second basement level, where there was actually a prison!
A black figure was locked in a cage, with bodyguards standing guard outside!
Qiao Wanwan stepped forward, and the bodyguards immediately nodded in unison, "Young Madam."
"Open the door, I'll go in and take a look."
The head bodyguard hesitated, "Madam, this person might be dangerous. You can't get close."
"Don't worry, I can protect myself. If anything happens, I will take responsibility myself, and it has nothing to do with you."
The bodyguard could only nod and say, "Yes."
The cell door opened, and Qiao Wanwan went inside, sat down in a chair, and opened a box to take things out.
Hearing the noise, Jiang Cheng, who had his back to the door, slowly turned around and saw a young and stunning face.
"You are...the young mistress?"
“They all call me Madam.” Qiao Wanwan smiled faintly. “I heard that Jingting had someone remove the bullet for you, but the wound wasn’t treated properly. Let me treat it for you, otherwise your hand might be ruined.”
