The man didn't say anything, quickly broke free from her hand, turned around and strode out!
"Jing Ting!"
Qiao Wanwan exclaimed in surprise and scrambled out of bed, but because she got up too quickly, she fell straight to the ground, wincing in pain!
The man in front stopped, his tall figure conveying a sense of forbearance and loneliness.
Qiao Wanwan could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face. "Jingting, I know it's you. Don't leave! We're husband and wife. Even if the sky falls, we should face it together, not you alone!"
"Jingting, could things get any worse? We've faced life and death together, what else is there to be afraid of? Don't leave me again. Without you, I truly feel like I'm living a life worse than death..."
The man in front of her trembled slightly at the fingertips, and his hands slowly clenched into fists.
Qiao Wanwan pulled out the IV needle from the back of her hand, struggled to get up from the ground, walked step by step to the man, and raised her hand to remove the medical cap from his head.
There was a head of white hair under the hat!
Qiao Wanwan was stunned, her face filled with disbelief!
She hurriedly removed the mask from the man's face!
The face that looked as thin as if it had been carved by a knife was not Zhan Jingting's; it was just an ordinary face like that of a passerby!
"impossible......"
Qiao Wanwan trembled violently, staring intently into the man's deep and familiar eyes.
"I can't be mistaken, you are my husband...you are Zhan Jingting..."
The man remained silent throughout, took the mask from her hand, put it on himself, and left.
Qiao Wanwan stood there stunned, as if all her strength had been drained away. Her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground!
"Madam!" The bodyguard opened the door and came in. "What's wrong? What happened?"
"It's alright." Qiao Wanwan composed herself and hurriedly instructed, "Follow that person closely. Don't lose him. Report any movement he makes to me immediately."
"yes!"
......
The following afternoon, Wen Lijing arrived at the hospital ward.
Qiao Wanwan, who was pretending to be asleep, opened her eyes. "Why are you here?"
"I came to see you." Wen Lijing poured her a glass of warm water. "How could you be so careless about taking care of yourself? You dared to attend a press conference with a fever."
"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine now and can be discharged tomorrow."
Wen Lijing placed the water glass on the bedside table, sat down on the chair next to the bed, gazed at her, and said, "Wanwan, let's talk."
“If it’s about what you told me last time, then there’s nothing to talk about.” Qiao Wanwan’s face was expressionless, but her gentle tone carried an unyielding determination. “Li Jing, I made my position clear that day and I made it very clear.”
“I also remember saying that if you keep insisting, we can’t even be friends.”
"Wanwan, you have your principles, but I have mine." Wen Lijing smiled faintly. "Actually, I came here today to tell you some good news. I've found out where Eleven is."
Qiao Wanwan was stunned, and immediately sat up, "What did you say!"
Wen Lijing looked at her and said, "Jing Ting may be all-powerful in China, but there are always places he can't reach. I, on the other hand, have my own connections."
Qiao Wanwan asked anxiously, "Where is Eleven? Where is Xiao Jiu? Are the two brothers together? Tell me quickly!"
"Wanwan, don't be anxious." Wen Lijing said calmly, "I just found out a clue and came to tell you first so that you can feel a little better."
Qiao Wanwan had no patience to listen to any of this. "Then tell me quickly, how did you find out about the clues, and where is Eleven right now?"
Wen Lijing said, "I accidentally learned through connections that a foreign mercenary organization had captured an Asian child. I found it suspicious, so I tried to investigate. Judging from his age and personality, he should be eleven years old. He is very smart and tried to escape several times, but he was stopped each time."
Qiao Wanwan shivered violently!
If it really is her Eleventh birthday celebration, and she falls into the hands of a mercenary organization, one can imagine how much suffering she will endure!
"Lijing, send me the exact location and information. I need to go rescue Eleven!"
"Wanwan, don't worry," Wen Lijing said. "If we could rescue her so easily, I would have made arrangements long ago. This is no ordinary mercenary organization; otherwise, Eleven wouldn't have fallen into their hands."
"And as I said, no matter how rich and powerful the Imperial View Group is, it may not be able to extend its reach overseas."
Qiao Wanwan gripped the blanket tightly with both hands, "...What you said makes sense, but it's impossible to be completely helpless. Since it's a mercenary organization, someone must have paid them to kidnap Eleven. Otherwise, why would they go to such lengths to kidnap a child? Since it's for money, then it's easy. I can pay double the money to get Eleven back!"
“Wanwan, you can’t oversimplify things. Every industry has rules, and integrity is especially important in their line of work. Raising prices and then breaking the contract won’t work.”
Qiao Wanwan felt a chill run down her spine. "This won't work, that won't work, so what should I do?!"
“Wanwan, I’ve contacted a friend abroad who used to be a member of this mercenary organization. Maybe he can come up with a way to bring Shiyi back safely.”
"Really?" Qiao Wanwan asked as if grasping at a straw. "If someone could get inside them, it would be so much easier! Li Jing, I'll agree to any condition, as long as the child's safety is guaranteed!"
"Really?" Wen Lijing gazed into her eyes. "What if I said I wanted you to marry me?"
