Chapter 101 Please come back soon, Nian Nian is awake.
In the basement.
The dimly lit room was empty, filled only with the sound of heavy breathing.
Who is that person?
The man looked up, breathing heavily, and said, "I don't know..."
Gu Yuheng's usual refined demeanor had vanished, replaced by a sinister look in his eyes.
That hand that once healed and saved lives when he was a doctor.
She suddenly gripped the man's chin, with such force that it seemed she wanted to crush his jawbone.
"I can't guarantee what I might do. If you don't want to die, tell me everything you know."
The immense pain caused the man's face to flush red.
“He always used encrypted phones to contact me, deliberately hiding the number and the region. I really didn’t know who he was. However, when I was talking to him, I heard another man’s voice in the background.”
Gu Yuheng and Xie Tingyan exchanged a glance.
The two of them suddenly had a premonition.
Perhaps they are getting closer to the truth.
"What did the other person say?" Gu Yuheng released his chin, looking at him with tense breaths.
"Judging from the voice, the person was a middle-aged man. He told the person who contacted me that she was originally a child who should have disappeared from this world long ago, but by some twist of fate she lived for so many more years, and I have done more than enough."
"Since they insist on bringing her back, then let her disappear from this world completely. What are you hesitating for? Don't you hate her to the core?"
The man, who lived a life on the edge of a knife, heard that cold voice.
He couldn't help but shiver.
They've been mercenaries for so many years.
I have never seen anyone kill a child.
A tremendous fear seemed to hang over Gu Yuheng and Xie Tingyan.
"Is that all?" Gu Yuheng stared intently at the other person, as if trying to discern the truth from falsehood.
The man, soaking wet, said, "I wouldn't dare risk my life to lie to you. I'm not lying at all. I've told you everything I heard. Can you please let me go?"
"Don't even think about it," Xie Tingyan stepped forward, pointing the gun at his head. "Go contact the person you were in contact with, lure him out, and I might consider letting you go."
This kind of person is extremely vicious and has the blood of countless innocent people on their hands.
How could we let him get away with it?
Naturally, the matter was handed over to the police for prosecution afterward.
The man, unaware of his intentions, believed that the bodyguard would truly let him go and cooperated by allowing himself to be taken by the bodyguard to contact the other party.
Gu Yuheng and Xie Tingyan walked out of the basement.
Xie Tingyan plans to visit his sister in the hospital.
He was stopped by Gu Yuheng behind him.
"Ting Yan, wait a moment."
Xie Tingyan stopped in his tracks and looked back at him with a questioning look in his eyes.
Gu Yuheng pondered for a moment and said, "Tingyan, the information we just obtained can be summarized. It's not hard to see that the other party has always known Niannian's identity, and that he orchestrated the disappearance sixteen years ago. Shen Qingbei was just a pawn of his. He used Shen Qingbei to deceive all of us, while he hid behind the scenes, secretly observing our movements for so many years."
"So, he knows about any slight movement we make immediately."
Xie Tingyan lowered his eyes and nodded thoughtfully.
“What you said makes sense. Shen Qingbei was only twelve years old at the time. How could a child do something so flawlessly, without leaving a trace? Perhaps Shen Qingbei was silenced after he disappeared with Yao Yao.”
Gu Yuheng: "Let's leave that as a question for now."
He always felt that Shen Qingbei was not dead.
Xie Tingyan frowned and said, "Do you think Shen Qingbei is still alive?"
Gu Yuheng said slowly, "I'm not entirely sure, but my intuition tells me that this matter is not simple. The people involved must be related to the Xie family. According to my analysis, the Shen family has no reason to orchestrate this kidnapping."
"Before Yaoyao disappeared, the Shen family and the Xie family had a good relationship. Yaoyao's disappearance became the fuse, and from then on, the Shen and Xie families became enemies and stopped having any contact."
Xie Tingyan pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance.
"But why did the Xie family choose Shen Qingbei to help them with this? And why did Shen Qingbei help them kidnap Yao Yao?"
The whole thing had a strange quality to it.
It draws people in so deeply that it's difficult to glimpse the truth hidden behind the fog.
Yes.
The question is, why would Shen Qingbei risk his life for a member of the Xie family?
After all, she was only three years old and had no grudge against him.
Why would he take such a big risk to help the other party do this?
Gu Yuheng frowned and pondered.
“Shen Qingbei was abandoned by Shen Li to be raised by servants outside since he was a child, and did not grow up with his parents, which is very strange. If the other party makes a fuss about this.”
“Boys who are just teenagers have difficulty distinguishing between truth and falsehood, and are easily misled. It is normal for them to be taken advantage of by the other party.”
Gu Yuheng recalled what he had just said.
"Didn't the person just say, 'Don't you hate her to the bone?' The 'her' he was referring to was Yao Yao. Could the contact be Shen Qingbei? If so, that would explain why Shen Qingbei kidnapped Yao Yao."
"Because the mastermind behind it all fabricated a lie, making Shen Qingbei hate the Xie family to the bone, and kidnapping Yaoyao was for revenge."
"Damn it," Xie Tingyan cursed, "those two deserve to die. Once I find them, I'll tear them to pieces and avenge Yao Yao."
Gu Yuheng frowned and said, "Tingyan, the other party is currently in the dark while we are in the light. Until the instigator is found, Nian Nian is in constant danger."
He lit a cigarette, and smoke swirled around him.
He narrowed his eyes slightly: "They sabotaged the first paternity test, but we still can't put their minds at ease. They still want to harm Niannian. If they find out that we secretly conducted a second paternity test and the results proved that Su Niannian is Xie Yao."
"Then they will only become more insane. Revealing Niannian's identity now is tantamount to sending her into the lion's den. The mastermind behind the scenes will do everything in their power to kill Niannian."
Xie Tingyan immediately understood.
"So you mean we shouldn't let Niannian reunite with her parents right now, and we shouldn't announce to the public that Yaoyao has been found."
Gu Yuheng raised his eyes, his expression serious.
"Yes, don't acknowledge her as a relative yet. Our first priority is to find out who is behind this. After eliminating all dangers, we can tell Niannian her true identity, let her return to the Xie family, and reunite with her parents."
Xie Tingyan's Adam's apple bobbed, but he didn't refute Gu Yuheng's words.
When the two of them were sorting through the clues just now, they had already laid out the conclusion clearly: the person behind the scenes was hidden inside the Xie family.
Sending Yaoyao back to the Xie family now would be like leading her into an unseen trap, wouldn't it?
"Okay, I'll go home and discuss it with my parents. For Yao Yao's safety, they'll definitely understand and agree to postpone recognizing Yao Yao."
It's easy to talk to my parents.
However, the biggest obstacle is the old man.
The old man is unpredictable; I'm really afraid he'll give himself away.
Or we could send Grandpa on a trip to Africa.
This way it's less troublesome.
The two finished discussing it.
Just as they were about to leave.
Gu Yuheng's phone rang.
When he saw that it was his mother calling, he worried that something was wrong with Su Niannian.
I quickly connected the call.
"Yuheng, come back quickly, Niannian is awake."
The man's tall body swayed suddenly, and his fingers unconsciously tightened.
His eyes were filled with caution as he slowly probed, "Mom, you're not lying to me, are you...?"
His every word trembled, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
Rong Qin did not speak immediately.
He paused for a moment and said, "How could that be... Come back quickly."
"Oh no, my mom's in the hospital," Xie Tingyan said, his expression suddenly changing upon hearing the voice on the other end of the phone.
Gu Yuheng suddenly turned his head, his jawline taut: "What?"
Given how much the teacher's wife loves her daughter, could she have already told Niannian everything?
