Chapter 98 This joke should be over by now.
Shen Jiheng looked at the child in his arms and felt a little empty inside.
How could he have such a strong feeling about a complete stranger he was meeting for the first time?
Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I really didn't expect that this would be Mr. Gu's daughter. We were just wondering whose child had gone missing. Now the president can rest assured."
Gu Beichen stared at the child in his arms with eyes full of doting, and said happily, "Isn't my daughter adorable?"
Shen Jiheng said unhappily, "How could someone like you deserve such an obedient daughter?"
Gu Beichen didn't like hearing that and immediately retorted.
“If someone like me has a daughter, then how come our high and mighty President Shen is still all alone?”
Shen Jiheng's eyes flashed, and if he weren't worried about scaring the child, he would have punched Gu Beichen.
Seeing the anger on his face, Qin Chuan quickly stepped forward.
"Mr. Gu, please stop joking. The president is already in a bad mood. Now that the child has been found, we need to attend to other matters."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the absent-minded Shen Jiheng and sensed that something was wrong with him today.
Gu Beichen shrugged: "I don't have time to chat with you guys. I need to take my daughter home."
Han Yumo nestled in his arms and reached out to Shen Jiheng, but Gu Beichen immediately blocked her hand.
"Yumo, be good. Daddy will take you home. There are many relatives waiting for us."
After saying that, he gave Shen Jiheng a meaningful smile and left.
Shen Jiheng only looked away after the two were out of sight. Qin Chuan stepped forward and said, "President, we should focus on finding the chip."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiheng came to his senses. What was wrong with him? Why was he so restless?
"Take him back; I want to interrogate him myself."
Qin Chuan nodded and quickly stepped forward to open the door to the mother and baby room for him.
Gu Beichen carried Han Yumo into the car, involuntarily wiping away a bead of sweat.
Zhuo Qingqian asked, "You didn't give yourself away just now, did you?"
Gu Beichen patted his chest and shook his head.
"Don't worry, I'll just tell him what Han Xi said. They didn't even think about it from another angle."
Zhuo Qingqian couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, "This is all thanks to your past romantic escapades, which is why they didn't think much of it."
Gu Beichen laughed awkwardly, "Darling, don't be angry. This joke should be over by now. You've seen how I've changed over the past four years. You're the only one in my heart."
Zhuo Qingqian pinched his cheek. Of course she knew Gu Beichen's feelings, otherwise she wouldn't have spent four years with him.
Han Xi shook his head helplessly as he watched the two playfully fighting, but was surprised to find that his daughter in his arms was also smiling.
Han Xi looked down and saw the smile on her face, and was so moved that she almost cried.
She had forgotten how long it had been since her daughter had smiled, and she excitedly lifted her up.
“Yumo, you just smiled! Look, this is your uncle and godmother.”
Han Yumo shifted her gaze to the two of them, and Zhuo Qingqian immediately leaned closer and waved to her.
"Baby, I'm your godmother, do you remember me?"
"I'm your uncle. I just hugged you. You must remember me."
Han Yumo understood what the two were saying this time and nodded gently.
Even such a simple response excited everyone; at least she was able to express her meaning.
Then Han Yumo raised her head, slowly opened her mouth, and softly called out, "Mommy~"
Han Xi was stunned. The last time her daughter called her was two months ago. Now, without any prompting, she would actually call her on her own initiative.
She happily hugged her daughter and couldn't resist kissing her on the forehead.
"Yu Mo is great."
But soon everyone's expressions turned serious again. Han Yumo's autism had been very severe in recent years, and she never interacted with outsiders.
But this time, she took the initiative to approach Shen Jiheng, and after only staying for an hour, such a big change occurred when she returned.
Could it be that the cure for her is that person?
"Xi Xi, don't think too much about it. As long as the baby doesn't reject us, I believe she will get better slowly."
Gu Beichen chimed in, "That's right. The fact that she's willing to let me hug her means there's been a change."
Hearing their words, Han Xi's mood improved.
“What you say makes sense. I believe that with everyone’s support, we can definitely cure her.”
"Of course. By the way, the day after tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of Han Shu Group. I heard that Uncle is going to hand over the position of company president to Han Xiao. You should be prepared."
Han Xi's decision to return at this time is definitely not simple.
Although she has been away from China for years, she has kept a close eye on the situation of Hanshu Group. As the major shareholder with 51% ownership, she should have been the one to approve these important decisions.
Han Yue was taking advantage of her being divorced from Shen Jiheng and not in the country, so he wanted to secretly give his position to his illegitimate daughter, Han Xiao.
How could Han Xi bear to hear this news? In addition, experts repeatedly suggested that Han Yumo spend more time with her family, which made her determined to return to China.
"Of course I'll go. I also hope my grandparents will come and support me."
Gu Beichen immediately stated, "Since we're going to support you, your cousin is indispensable. You've forgiven me despite our past grievances, so I should also take some action."
Seeing Gu Beichen's current maturity, Han Xi was happy for Zhuo Qingqian; her persistence had yielded remarkable results.
As evening fell, the fiery red sunset painted half the sky ablaze.
In the backyard of the Shen family, Che Yuan had been tied to a stool and left to dry in the sun all afternoon.
The July weather is so hot it can burn your skin; he's practically oily all over now, and he's so exhausted he's almost losing consciousness.
Shen Jiheng was leisurely drinking tea in the pavilion, and he didn't believe that this person could last long.
"President, we have searched his house and car, as well as every place he was at the airport today, but we haven't found the chip. I suspect he has already given it to someone else."
Shen Jiheng stood up and walked forward, winked at the bodyguard, and immediately grabbed Che Yuan's hair and lifted his head up.
"Tell me, who exactly was the chip given to?"
Che Yuan shook his head. His throat was dry and extremely dehydrated, his lips were cracked, and he made a hoarse sound when he opened his mouth.
"President, I really...didn't take it."
Shen Jiheng raised his eyelids slightly, and Qin Chuan punched him in the stomach.
This kind of person wouldn't deign to have Shen Jiheng do it himself, but he has a hundred ways to make him suffer unbearable pain.
Che Yuan coughed painfully twice. When Shen Jiheng looked up again, Qin Chuan struck again, making him see stars.
Shen Jiheng waved for him to step back and calmly said, "You only took this thing to make money. Hand it over, and I'll pay double what they gave you to buy it back."
Che Yuan shook his head; how could he possibly believe what Shen Jiheng said?
Shen Jiheng laughed and said, "If you still refuse to listen to reason and choose to suffer the consequences, then it's simple. Anyway, after you die, I can still slowly search for it. It's just a pity that you went through so much trouble to get it, only to die before you could enjoy it."
Che Yuan knew that he was ruthless and capable of anything, but he was also afraid that if he spoke out, he would not even have a chance to live.
But the way Shen Jiheng looked at him at that moment was as if he were looking at a corpse, which terrified him.
