The Xiang family is quite capable. It may take some time and effort to find this place, but they will eventually get there.
His immediate priority is to move, to leave this place and live in a more remote and secluded place, preferably closer to Mancheng, so that he can see his son every day.
When Xiang Nanzhi woke up in the hospital, the first person he saw was Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao heard what had happened. Now, Xiang Jingyi and Xiang Ciyuan are frantically searching for Shen Shixun throughout Latu and the surrounding area. Xiang Ciyuan is trembling with anger and has threatened to beat Shen Shixun to death if they catch him.
Xiang Nanzhi didn't eat a bite of food and rushed off to find someone, but Jiang Yao stopped her.
“I was wrong. I should have realized the family’s attitude towards him a long time ago. I thought they only had a slight problem with Shen Shixun. I didn’t expect it to have come to this.”
Jiang Yao could actually imagine that the fall she took at the construction site almost cost her the baby, and she lost so much blood. The Xiang family loved her so much, they definitely wouldn't let it go.
“You know very well that someone like Shen Shixun, since he tricked you into coming to Latour to take the child away, he knew he wouldn’t let you find him.”
“I wouldn’t dare say this to anyone else, but Nanzhi, you have to face this reality.”
Xiang Nanzhi shook her head. "I don't believe it. I don't believe he could be so cruel to me. He knows very well how I gave birth to this child. Did he even consider my feelings when he just took the child away like that?"
"People are selfish."
"Shen Shixun is not that kind of person."
"How long are you going to keep deceiving yourself?" Jiang Yao raised her voice. "The Xiang family dotes on you and spoils you. Do you think Shen Shixun will receive the same treatment as you when he comes to the Xiang family? You are too naive. Shen Shixun is not a member of the Xiang family. No matter how much the Xiang family helps him, as long as he does not agree with you in the slightest, he will be a thorn in everyone's side."
Being with her was extremely tiring for Shen Shixun. He might truly love her, but he was also genuinely exhausted, both physically and mentally.
"I must go find him. I need to get to the bottom of this. I gave him everything. He can't treat me like this."
"Nan Zhi..."
Just as Xiang Nanzhi got up a little, Xiang Jingyi came in from outside with some food.
"I'll find the person. You rest here."
Xiang Jingyi's face showed no smile, but his voice was very gentle. Xiang Nanzhi reached out and knocked the thing out of his hand. "You drove people away. I will find them myself. From now on, I will do my own thing. None of you should interfere with me."
Xiang Nanzhi put on his coat and went outside, and Jiang Yao quickly followed.
Another day has passed, and Xiang Nanzhi roughly knows in his heart that the person may no longer be La Tu, but he doesn't know where to start looking for him.
No one could stop her. Xiang Jingyi and Xiang Ciyuan both tried to persuade her, but she was as stubborn as a mule and wouldn't even give them a second glance.
Jiang Yao followed them all day, and by evening she felt her feet were covered in blisters...
"Stop looking. Ciyuan has already sent people to look for us. He'll know any news soon enough. There's no point in us doing this."
The temperature in Saigon was still very low. Xiang Nanzhi had been walking all day, and although his legs were weak, he didn't feel cold. Looking up at the approaching night, he wondered, "Jiang Yao, does he think I don't care about him? Ever since I gave birth to Tangyuan, every word he's said to me has just been an act?"
“He didn’t want me anymore at all; he just wanted to achieve his goal of taking the child away.”
Jiang Yao wanted to say yes, but she didn't want to discourage her. She had just finished her postpartum period; what if she developed health problems later if she continued like this?
“Let’s go back first. There’s no point in us looking here. He might have already run away.”
"I think so too, he ran away."
"so……"
"Jiang Yao, can you come with me to look for him?"
"Where...where should we look?"
Xiang Nanzhi gave her a deep look, and Jiang Yao froze on the spot.
"It's okay, I'll go even if you don't come with me."
Xiang Nanzhi held the car keys in her hand. That was her original plan. She stayed in Latour to look for someone not because she actually wanted to find them, but because she hoped that Shen Shixun would change his mind and suddenly soften and be willing to come back, so that he could find her.
The result was obvious: Shen Shixun had no intention of returning, so this time it was up to her to go find him.
"Are you crazy? You go to a place like that? How many lives do you have? Have you forgotten how Zhai Ming died?"
Jiang Yao shook her head, holding her hand, "Zhizhi, it's all my fault, I did something wrong... Please don't be like this, I'm really scared..."
"I'd rather Xiang Ciyuan beat her to death," Jiang Yao said, her voice trembling. "Listen to me, Saigon is too big, don't wander around."
"If he doesn't want me to find him, I definitely won't find him. Jiang Yao, I don't believe it, I don't believe he could be so ruthless..."
He simply walked away, abandoning her without a care, making her look like a joke.
As Xiang Nanzhi spoke, he walked a short distance away, opened the car door, and Jiang Yao followed closely behind.
Rather than waiting for Xiang Ciyuan to kill her, it's better to go with her and take the risk, since it was her mistake after all.
"etc……"
Jiang Yao steeled herself, opened the passenger door, sat down, and fastened her seatbelt. "I'll go with you."
As night fell and the temperature dropped, Xiang Nanzhi drove with Jiang Yao to a place where the bus usually runs once a day. The bus was parked there, and the only way to get further in was by walking.
Jiang Yao had never been to a place like this before. Just seeing the surrounding barren mountains and grasslands, and hearing the faint howls of some animals in the eerily quiet night, was enough to send chills down her spine.
It's impossible not to be afraid. She glanced at Xiang Nanzhi subconsciously, but there was no fear in her eyes. She opened the trunk and took out a bag.
"Go in from here."
Xiang Nanzhi pointed to a dark spot by the roadside.
With no streetlights and no light, Jiang Yao couldn't see anything ahead at all, and her legs were starting to go weak. She kept encouraging herself.
"Jiang Yao, don't be afraid, I will protect you. Let's walk a little further in, there won't be any wolves there."
Xiang Ciyuan desperately tried to call Jiang Yao while driving to follow Xiang Nanzhi's location, but the signal was poor when he got there, and he couldn't make the call at all.
Cao Mingyuan also tried a few times, "Brother Li, it's not working, I can't get through."
"Has she lost her mind? She knows she's going to her death, yet she still goes."
When they arrived, they could only see the car parked at the intersection. Cao Mingyuan glanced at him awkwardly. In fact, he had already sent people to help look for Shen Shixun's tribe.
When their people arrived in the afternoon, the tribal chief there said that the people had already left.
He was furious with justice and demanded that the child be found, so he broke Shen Shixun's leg.
But who can guarantee they'll find the person? Saigon is so big, they can only try. If they can't find them, there's nothing they can do.
I didn't dare tell Xiang Nanzhi, because I was afraid she would be upset if she knew. But she was so foolish as to go to the grasslands and even took Jiang Yao with her.
"Big brother, something's happened..."
