The car took a detour to the aunt's house.
The door was opened by the nanny, who said the child had been taken to the company by Ji Shaoli.
Jian Yunong was stunned. Could such a small child really be taken to the company?
"There’s no choice; the sir is worried. He asked me to stay at home and said that if Mistress Wu comes back, I should call him immediately."
He probably fears that Mist Shenshen would come back and take Little Fatty away?
Jian Yunong sat in the house for a while and noticed that the aunt's things had not been taken away; even her suitcase was still in the corner.
On the nightstand lay the aunt's necklace.
It was strange; the aunt wouldn’t leave behind the necklace that Grandma left her if she were running away.
So where did the aunt go?
Jian Yunong took out his phone and saw there were no missed calls. He dialed Ji Shaoli's number.
As soon as it connected, he heard a baby crying.
"Is your aunt looking for you?" Ji Shaoli's voice was filled with exhaustion.
Little Fatty was indeed too young to be away from his mother.
"Uncle-in-law, don’t worry just yet. I don’t think my aunt has run away. Please send someone to look for her, or consider whether to report it to the police?"
"What does it mean?"
Ji Shaoli's voice instantly became serious as he instructed someone to take the crying child aside.
If you were to ask who was more important to him, the child or Mist Shenshen, the answer would undoubtedly be Mist Shenshen.
"Uncle-in-law, don't be nervous."
Jian Yunong could imagine Ji Shaoli's expression right now; his low and serious "What does it mean?" startled her.
"I don't think Auntie is the type to run away from home. Running away isn't her style; she wouldn't abandon her hard-earned career for you..."
Is this comforting or insulting?
But Ji Shaoli couldn't refute it because it made a lot of sense!
These past few days, he had been overwhelmed by Little Fatty's illness and hadn't really thought about Mist Shenshen's disappearance.
She wasn't the type to avoid problems.
She would only force him to compromise!
"I just saw Auntie's necklace on the nightstand in your bedroom. If she were to leave, she wouldn't forget to take this with her. This was left to her by Grandma."
Oh.
"You didn't even take your own son with you."
"Uncle-in-law, now is not the time to be angry. I suggest you send someone to look for her. It would be best to find out who your aunt has recently offended."
However, with Mist Shenshen's personality, she has probably offended quite a few people. But what kind of grudge would lead someone to kidnap her?
"Uncle-in-law!"
Just before the call ended, Jian Yunong raised her voice to remind him, "Could it be that you've offended someone?"
"I understand. Don't go wandering around during this time. Make sure someone follows you when you go out. Got it?"
"Got it."
After hanging up the phone, Jian Yunong's mood began to worsen.
She was completely worried about her aunt.
It wasn't until Huo Jincheng returned and saw Jian Yunong lying on the sofa looking gloomy.
"Have you eaten dinner?"
Huo Jincheng hadn't come home for dinner and had prepared takeout for her.
Jian Yunong then sat up, "I'm not hungry."
The takeout was still on the dining table, and it looked the same as when it was handed over by the assistant.
Huo Jincheng sat down beside her, loosened his tie and tossed it aside, wrapping one arm around Jian Yunong. "What's wrong? Who made you unhappy? Is it because I came back late?"
The timing of his return was not something he could control.
"There have been a lot of things going on lately."
He raised his hand and lightly touched the cheek of his little Daughter-in-law before kissing her deeply.
"When do you not have a lot going on?"
She had long since gotten used to this state of affairs.
"I can sense a hint of resentment."
"I'm just stating the facts."
"Then will you continue being my secretary?"
He lifted Jian Yunong from the sofa and onto his lap. "As my secretary, you can go wherever I go."
Huo Jincheng's breath fell on her neck.
It was warm, like feathers brushing against her. Jian Yunong slightly tilted her neck, as if trying to avoid it but also offering herself up. "I don't want that. The secret to keeping a marriage fresh is to maintain a sense of novelty. If I watch you 24/7, you'll get tired of me. And I will too."
As soon as the words fell, there was a sharp pain in her neck.
Jian Yunong gasped, "Why are you biting me? Can't we just talk nicely?"
Huo Jincheng switched to kissing instead.
Jian Yunong: "..."
She pushed him away, "I'm not in the mood right now."
Jian Yunong straightened her disheveled clothes, "I haven't heard anything from my aunt yet. I'm really worried that she might have... been kidnapped."
Huo Jincheng frowned, understanding why Jian Yunong was upset. "Have you checked with Ji Shaoli?"
"They're looking into it."
Jian Yunong leaned back on the sofa, "Little Fatty is still so young. My aunt can't be in any trouble."
Huo Jincheng patted her head, "I'll ask Xu Yizhi for help. He knows a lot of people from all walks of life."
Jian Yunong's eyes instantly lit up.
"Then hurry up and call him!"
Huo Jincheng pulled her up, "I'll call him right now, but you need to eat first."
Xu Yizhi was at the nightclub, and besides the nightclub, he had nowhere else to go.
When Huo Jincheng mentioned Mist Shenshen, Xu Yizhi immediately agreed without hesitation.
"I will definitely help with your sister-in-law's matter. Send me a photo of Mist Shenshen later."
"Okay. I'll hang up now."
"Hey! Is this how you treat me when you ask for a favor?"
"Nightclub Prince, I'm not like you; I have a family." After glancing at Jian Yunong, who was leisurely eating, Huo Jincheng added, "I didn't used to enjoy going out either."
Xu Yizhi sneered, "That's because you wanted to show off to your ex!"
"…"
Why bring up someone's past?
"I'll treat you to dinner next time."
"How many meals do you owe me?"
"Are you the one who's starving?"
"Huo Jincheng, do you believe I’ll tell Daughter-in-law that you…"
"What do you want to eat?"
Xu Yizhi's voice carried a hint of laughter, "This is the correct attitude when asking for a favor."
"Don't go too far! Just because you're single, you're jealous that I'm getting married and want to sabotage me on purpose!"
Xu Yizhi snorted, "If you have the ability, don't let me catch you with anything. If you're so principled, what are you afraid of being sabotaged for?"
"First, focus on finding someone."
Huo Jincheng hung up the phone, not giving Xu Yizhi a chance to continue talking.
Jian Yunong cast a questioning glance, "Did Xu Shao agree? If he finds my aunt, forget just one meal; I'd be willing to cook for him every day."
Huo Jincheng shot her a look, "Cook for him every day?"
Jian Yunong fell silent.
"It's fine, Mist Shenshen is quite clever."
"But isn't there a saying that goes, 'A woman loses her wits for three years after giving birth'?"
"…"
Huo Jincheng looked at her, "You're looking down on your aunt's intelligence... No matter how foolish she may seem, I think she's smarter than you."
Talking to Huo Jincheng really makes me want to flip the table every second.
"You say I'm stupid? Even if I'm stupid, I'm still your wife."
"It's fine, it's enough for me to be the only smart one in the house."
"…"
The news about Mist Shenshen came a day later.
The last time she was seen was at the bar street that has already been demolished.
It was all construction sites there, and it had rained again in the past few nights, making the roads muddy.
I don't understand why Mist Shenshen would go to that place.
The target eventually locked onto Ye Qingqing.
Jian Yunong almost forgot who this person was.
Huo Jincheng, however, had a strong impression; this woman had previously spread rumors about Jian Yunong and had been driven out of the entertainment industry. How dare she cause trouble again?
"That Ye Qingqing is said to have gotten close to someone from the underworld and has caught the attention of the second-in-command of that organization. The woman whispered a few sweet nothings and directly had Mist Shenshen kidnapped."
Xu Yizhi shared everything he knew, "Moreover, that person seems to have met Mist Shenshen before. He has a particularly strange hobby of torturing women, especially Eastern beauties. I don't know how many women he has ruined... some have even died from his torture..."
Jian Yunong's expression immediately changed, and she couldn't help but shiver.
"Ye Qingqing!"
Jian Yunong was so angry that her teeth itched!
What kind of grudge was this?
Ji Shaoli's brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes could no longer be described as gloomy; just a glance made people feel scared.
Sinister and cold.
Jian Yunong trembled with anger, unable to suppress her low curses, "Ye Qingqing! What does she want to do!"
A warmth enveloped her shoulder; it was Huo Jincheng holding her, and the warmth of his body spread to her. Jian Yunong leaned into him, burying her face in the familiar scent.
Her trembling body gradually calmed down.
Xu Yizhi glanced at Huo Jincheng, signaling him to take Jian Yunong away; she shouldn't hear any more of this.
"Nong Nong, let's go back first. Leave the rest to Xu Shao and your Uncle-in-law."
Huo Jincheng spoke gently and deeply.
Jian Yunong nodded; she felt a bit stuffy but managed to catch her breath.
She couldn't rely on anyone else for this matter; the only person she could depend on was Huo Jincheng.
They walked in silence all the way to the underground parking lot.
Once inside the car, Jian Yunong saw the safety talisman hanging from the rearview mirror. It was a gift from her aunt, and feeling suffocated, she couldn't help but cry in her seat, covering her face with her hands. "Aunt, please don't let anything happen to you. Your life has just started to get better... What will happen to Little Fatty if something happens to you? Little Fatty is still so young!"
Huo Jincheng leaned over and hugged Jian Yunong, allowing her to lean against him.
"At least we know her whereabouts now. Don't worry, Xu Yizhi has a wide network. Knowing where she is makes it easier to resolve this situation."
"Really?"
Jian Yunong sniffled and asked, "I don't want anything to happen to my aunt... She means so much to me... Huo Jincheng, I've already lost my dad, lost my mom, and Yi Nansheng is gone too. Now... if something happens to my aunt as well... I... I can't imagine..."
Jian Yunong felt like she was going crazy.
At this point, she was already on the verge of breaking down.
"I promise you, I will do everything I can to bring her back. For now, just stay at home and be good."
Huo Jincheng wiped away her tears. "Stop crying. If Mist Shenshen sees you like this, she might just poke your forehead."
Jian Yunong whimpered, "I would rather have her poke my forehead."
