The news of Zhang Xiaofeng being taken away by Luo Shicheng quickly reached Zhuang Nanxing's ears, and Zhuang Nanxing came to see Luo Shicheng.
Hua Li had already told Luo Shicheng the whole story, so after Zhuang Nanxing met Zhang Xiaofeng, Luo Shicheng explained the matter to Zhuang Nanxing in a straightforward manner.
Zhuang Nanxing didn't rush to a conclusion, but instead notified Yang Daocheng and Leng Zhanguo to bring their wives over.
After speaking with Tan Ziying and Guan Qiongzhi, Zhuang Nanxing's expression grew increasingly grim.
Zhuang Nanxing knew perfectly well that Hua Li did this because he didn't want to be harassed by Zhang Xiaofeng anymore, but also to save face for him, so he had the child put on this act.
"Lock her up for three days, and then I'll talk to her in person..."
Having dealt with Zhang Xiaofeng, there are still three other families. If the truth is revealed, it will inevitably create rifts between Old Xu and the three families. If it is not revealed, Luo Yan will be unfairly blamed. Zhuang Nanxing spoke up.
"You can let me know if you need anything."
Zhang Xiaofeng is the child of his nanny. He can't turn a blind eye to the trouble Zhang Xiaofeng has caused. If Luo Shicheng needs him to act as a peacemaker and mediate, he has to take care of it.
Luo Shicheng opened the door, and the fair-skinned and delicate Luo Yan walked in, followed by Xiao Xiu, who was covered in dirt.
"Please trouble the commander to take Yan Yan home."
Everyone in the East Courtyard knows about Zhang Xiaofeng's outburst at the Sun family's house last night. This morning, the Sun family's precious granddaughter went missing, and now, more than two hours later, the rumors have spread like wildfire.
Therefore, from an outsider's perspective, Zhuang Nanxing's decision to send Luo Yan back now shows that the relationship between the two families has not only not been affected, but has actually become closer.
Furthermore, with Zhuang Nanxing escorting Luo Yan back, there's no need to worry about nosy people asking questions. In fact, who in the entire East Courtyard would dare to ask Zhuang Nanxing how he found the child?
Zhuang Nanxing looked at the little baby who walked up to him and looked up at him. Not only was the baby not afraid of him, but the baby even smiled at him.
"Are you Luo Yan, Luo Shicheng's daughter?" Zhuang Nanxing asked coldly.
It's his own child. When they were little, they wouldn't see him for a long time and would be scared to tears when they saw him again. He just didn't believe that a little baby could be so bold.
Luo Yan was speechless. "What kind of adult would deliberately scare a child?"
"Grandpa, hug me..."
After all, he's a powerful figure, so it's essential to appease him.
Zhuang Nanxing wasn't buying it. With a stern face, he asked Luo Yan, "I heard you can break bricks?"
Is your boss a curious person? Why does he ask so many questions? Luo Yan turned to look at Luo Shicheng.
Luo Shicheng asked Zhuang Nanxing's guards to fetch some bricks.
The guard honestly carried twenty bricks and placed them in the center of the ground.
Luo Shicheng picked up a brick and easily broke it in half.
Luo Yan seemed to be imitating Luo Shicheng, breaking the brick in the same way.
The father and daughter broke all twenty bricks in a contest, leaving Zhuang Nanxing speechless.
This is a classic case of "like father, like daughter." It's a pity that such a rare talent refused to be recruited, much to Zhuang Nanxing's regret.
Zhuang Nanxing got up from his seat, bent down and picked up Luo Yan.
"Come on, Grandpa will take you home."
“Dad…” Luo Yan called out to Luo Shicheng.
Luo Shicheng had been so busy that he hadn't been home for several days. He had bruises under his eyes and was unshaven. Luo Yan didn't want a slovenly father.
Zhuang Nanxing asked Luo Shicheng, "How many more days until the case is closed?"
Luo Shicheng: "At most three days."
"Then go home and rest for a day."
The little girl wanted her father to be with her, and Zhuang Nanxing had to grant her wish.
Luo Shicheng: "I'll go back after I'm done with this."
Zhuang Nanxing said unhappily, "Can't you see your daughter misses her father? No matter how busy you are, you have to spend time with your daughter. Let's go."
The two adults and two children arrived at the east gate of the compound by car. Zhuang Nanxing got out of the car and carried Luo Yan inside.
When Zhuang Nanxing returned carrying Luo Yan, who was said to have run away and been kidnapped by bad guys, everyone in the East Courtyard was shocked, but no one dared to go up and ask what had happened. They just followed from a distance.
Aunt Shi, who was watering the flower bed with a hose, saw this, dropped the hose, and ran into the house to call Hua Li.
Upon hearing that the little rascal had returned, Hua Li hurried out. Her eyes were red from extreme anger, but no one could see through her act; they all assumed that Hua Li had been crying because she was worried about her child.
Zhuang Nanxing put Luo Yan on the ground, and Hua Li walked towards Luo Yan with eyes blazing with anger.
Luo Yan's smile vanished as she was frightened by Hua Li's fierce expression, and she turned and ran towards Luo Shicheng.
Dad, help!
Luo Shicheng caught Luo Yan, who ran to him for help, picked her up, and handed her to Hua Li.
Luo Yan?
Dad, how can you betray your own daughter? Doesn't your conscience hurt?
Hua Li hugged Luo Yan tightly and bowed to Zhuang Nanxing to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Chief."
"No need for thanks, just don't hit the child."
As the person responsible for taking Luo Yan home, Zhuang Nanxing knew perfectly well that Luo Yan was going to get a beating, so he said something unusual.
Luo Shicheng saw Zhuang Nanxing off, and Hua Li carried Luo Yan back to their room.
Xiao Xiu had a bad feeling and followed Hua Li to try to plead for Luo Yan. When they reached the door, they were almost crushed by the door panel that was slammed down.
After closing the door, Hua Li didn't say a word, but pressed Luo Yan face down on the bed and spanked her.
The slap landed on Luo Yan's little bottom and stung painfully.
"They really hit me!" Luo Yan exclaimed in disbelief.
"What's wrong with you that you can't tell your mother? Why do you have to keep it from me, huh?"
Hua Li grew angrier as she spoke, and slaps rained down on her.
"Mom, it hurts..." Luo Yan turned her head to look at Hua Li, tears falling like broken pearls.
Terrified, Hua Li raised her hand to slap Luo Yan but could no longer bring it down, and her hand, which was pressing down on Luo Yan, fell limply to her side.
Luo Yan stood up and hugged Hua Li, "Mom, I'm sorry."
In order to get Hua Li's true reaction, she didn't tell Hua Li about her plan, but she forgot how scared a mother would be if she found out her child was missing.
Hua Li collapsed to the ground, exhausted, and burst into tears...
Although she found her biological parents and her family seemed reunited, and her husband had changed his attitude and was very considerate towards her, deep down she still felt helpless and alone, and her daughter was her only true love.
Losing Luo Yan, the feeling of confusion and fear instantly overwhelmed her. She had nowhere to confide in, but her emotions erupted when she saw Luo Yan again.
If she had known she would scare Hua Li like this, she would have preferred to let the plan fall through rather than do it this way. Luo Yan regretted it.
"Mommy, Mommy..."
Luo Yan anxiously circled around Hua Li, but she couldn't soothe the sobbing Hua Li no matter what she did.
Left with no other option, Luo Yan opened the door and let Luo Shicheng, who was guarding the entrance, in.
Luo Shicheng held Hua Li, who was crying so hard she was almost fainting, in his arms and let her vent her emotions.
Xiao Xiu took Luo Yan's hand, walked out, closed the door, and headed downstairs.
As soon as I went downstairs, guests arrived.
After Guan Qiongzhi was called away to talk to Zhuang Nanxing, she was given a good scolding by Leng Zhanguo.
Now, Luo Yan has been found and personally escorted home by Zhuang Nanxing. Zhuang Nanxing even spoke up for Luo Yan and told Hua Li not to hit the child, which shows how much he values Luo Yan.
Luo Yan was favored by Commander Zhuang, but she conspired with others to cause trouble for Hua Li and her daughter. If things went wrong, she might really be implicated and demoted, just as Leng Zhanguo had said. Guan Qiongzhi was scared.
To avoid retaliation from the Sun family against Leng Zhanguo later, Guan Qiongzhi quickly brought two cans of food as a gesture of goodwill.
