Rongcheng International Plaza is the most bustling commercial area, with a huge flow of people on summer evenings.
The bodyguard took Shiyi to buy candied hawthorns. Qiao Wanwan opened her phone and found the location in the photo.
"Jingting, this is it!" Qiao Wanwan exclaimed excitedly, "Our child was standing right here!"
“Wanwan, I know you really want to find your child, but you shouldn’t put so much pressure on yourself.”
“I don’t feel pressured. I just want to stand where he used to stand. That way, I’ll feel closer to him.”
"The weather is too stuffy. We'll go back to the hotel when we get back from the National Day holiday."
"good."
A short while later, the bodyguard returned with Eleven.
Qiao Wanwan rarely lets Shiyi eat snacks from outside, but today she rarely agreed. Shiyi held a string of candied hawthorns but couldn't bear to eat them.
"Mommy, have a bite."
"Mommy doesn't want to eat, you can eat it."
Shiyi pointed excitedly to the giant screen across the street, "Mommy, look, they're showing your new movie!"
Qiao Wanwan looked closely and saw that it was indeed a movie playing.
The bodyguard reported, "Madam, I heard that the advertising screens in International Plaza often play videos, and your new movie has been playing on repeat for the past few days, which shows how popular it is."
Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "I think it's great. It has the feel of an open-air movie."
There was a bench nearby, and Qiao Wanwan took Eleven's hand and sat down. After he finished eating the candied hawthorn, the group got into the car and went back to the hotel.
Just as the car drove away, a black sedan stopped on the side of the road.
A middle-aged woman got out of the back seat and carefully protected the car door. "Young master, please take care."
A little boy, about four or five years old, got off the car. He was wearing a handsome little suit and his face looked exactly like Eleven's!
He walked to the bench where Qiao Wanwan had just sat and sat down, staring intently at the screen across the street.
The middle-aged woman brought him water. "Young master, what are you doing sitting here every day in this heat? We've seen this movie so many times, haven't we? How come you still don't get tired of it?"
The little boy didn't say anything.
The middle-aged woman sighed, "When will you finally say something? Your wife has been waiting for you to speak for years..."
Qiao Wanwan's scene only appears near the end of the movie.
The little boy's eyes lit up immediately!
The woman beside him, who was dozing off, did not notice his subtle change. By the time she looked up with a yawn, the movie had already ended.
"Young Master, the movie is over. Let's go, or Madam will worry."
The little boy then reluctantly got into the car and left.
......
Qiao Wanwan's most relaxing time each day is before going to sleep, when she can feel the baby's movements in her belly.
Sometimes he would cooperate and move around, even allowing Zhan Jingting to touch him; other times he would give up and refuse to deal with them.
Perhaps she was tired from the car ride today, because Qiao Wanwan was already sleepy. Seeing that the child was not moving, she quickly closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Unable to sleep, Eleven, who was lying in the middle, quietly got up.
He wanted to open the door and go out, but then he remembered what his mother had said: this wasn't home, and he couldn't go out at night, so he had to give up.
Eleven sat down in the rooftop garden outside the room, sighed as she looked up at the sky, "Ugh, I'm so hungry..."
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from beside her. Eleven turned her head and was startled. "Ah!"
The garden was separated by a perforated wall, and he saw a small head peek out from the perforation and stare at him.
Eleven looked like he'd seen a ghost, because this head looked almost exactly like his!
Eleven rushed over and stared at his face for a moment, then exclaimed, "You're Twelve!"
When the other person saw him, they were also stunned, looking completely bewildered.
"I found Twelve!" Eleven exclaimed excitedly. "Come here quickly, I'll take you to see Mommy! She'll be so happy to see you!"
The little boy turned his head back and pointed to the house on his side.
"Stop pointing! Come here, I'll take you home!"
The little boy shook his head slightly, but still pointed inside.
Eleven was a little confused, "Can't you talk?"
The little boy lowered his eyes and remained silent.
"Look at me, we look exactly alike, I'm your brother!" Eleven said anxiously. "Don't be afraid, I'll take you home!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a woman's anxious voice faintly came from the opposite room, "Xiao Jiu? Xiao Jiu!"
The little boy hurriedly ran into the house!
"Little brother!" Eleven was almost frantic when he suddenly noticed a gap that was too big.
He tried to crawl through, and he actually made it!
Eleven hurriedly caught up and peered out the window, seeing the little boy enter the room.
A woman in white pajamas was sitting on the bed, coughing violently.
The little boy gently patted her back.
The woman finally caught her breath and said anxiously, "Xiao Jiu, where did you go in the middle of the night? Do you know how worried your mother was when she woke up and couldn't find you? Don't run around like that anymore, okay?"
The little boy nodded gently.
"Sweetie, lie down and go to sleep. Mommy will watch you sleep."
The little boy obediently lay down.
Eleven frowned slightly. "Does my little brother have a mother now?"
No wonder he didn't want to go home with him!
If we tell Mommy, but my brother refuses to come home, she will definitely be sad.
No, he can't make Mommy sad!
He needs to persuade his younger brother to go home so that Mommy will be happy!
Shiyi didn't go in; instead, he quietly returned to the room and lay down next to Qiao Wanwan.
Qiao Wanwan was fast asleep when she instinctively hugged her son beside her and continued to sleep.
......
Early the next morning.
Jiang Dong came to report, "Master Zhan, Madam, I'm sorry, I couldn't access the Heavenly Eye System."
"Is it because the police are unwilling to provide information?" Qiao Wanwan asked.
"Yes, madam, the police are unwilling to provide the Sky Eye system for private use."
Qiao Wanwan nodded. "That's normal. If just anyone could access the Sky Eye system, the city would be in chaos."
“Madam, I have already found out who the top official is in Rongcheng. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. I'm afraid this time, we'll have to have Master Zhan step in to successfully access the surveillance footage.”
Zhan Jingting frowned!
Jiang Dong felt a powerful sense of pressure coming at him, but he could only bite the bullet and say, "I also heard that their daughter is a fan of Madam. If Madam could intervene, things would probably go much more smoothly..."
"Outrageous!" Zhan Jingting's face darkened. "It's just a surveillance camera. Since when did it require me and my wife to personally intervene?"
Jiang Dong gasped in shock and dared not utter another word!
Zhan Jingting's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water. "I'll give you another half day. If you can't even handle this little thing, then go out and get some proper training."
Jiang Dong's face turned pale. "Yes, Master Zhan."
Qiao Wanwan realized something and hurriedly called out to Jiang Dong, who was about to leave, "Wait a minute!"
