Jiang Feifei took a few steps back from Gu Xiuyu, then turned and burst into laughter. "My thoughts? You think that with the children around, even if Ye Ziyu is with you, she won't remember Di Mingjue when she sees them?"
The saying went that objects evoke memories of people, and these were three children with minds of their own.
Gu Xiuyu certainly understood how much the children's presence would impact his and Ye Ziyu's relationship. But if she acted now, Di Mingjue would be protecting Ye Ziyu. After suffering the pain of losing her children, wouldn't her heart and body be even more dependent on him!
"No matter what happens, my affairs are not for you to interfere with!" Gu Xiuyu warned Jiang Feifei. "If you continue to use my name, I don't care who is protecting you, I will deal with you first!"
Deal with her?
Heh, there were plenty of people who wanted to deal with her, he was just one more.
Jiang Feifei watched Gu Xiuyu storm into the basement, then picked up her phone again, unwilling to give up.
She made a phone call. Her days were restless, and she wanted everyone else to be restless with her.
...
Back in the city center, Di Mingjue and Shen Lin's cars met at an intersection.
On their way back, Di Mingjue had instructed Shen Lin to wait at the intersection leading into the suburban area. If Xiao Ran and the others were truly escorted by kind people, they would have encountered them at the intersection.
However, Shen Lin had waited for them, but he hadn't seen Xiao Ran or Xing Xing.
"Mr. Di, I've just checked. There are surveillance cameras in the vicinity, and I've contacted the relevant personnel to retrieve the footage. Through the video, we might be able to find out which car the young masters were in," Shen Lin said.
Above the exits on both sides were 360-degree rotating cameras. They could clearly capture the scene inside the vehicles and see the license plates of every car.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ziyu anxiously inquired, "Did you get it?"
Shen Lin shook his head. "Madam, please don't worry. We're not sure when the young masters left this area, so we've captured a longer period of footage, which will take some time."
Di Mingjue put his arm around Ye Ziyu and softly advised, "Wait a little longer, there's no rush."
How could she not be anxious? Xiao Ran was her life. Now that Xiao Ran had disappeared, and possibly with her fourth treasure, Xing Xing. If anything happened to either of them, she couldn't rest easy.
"Mingjue, we can't just wait. As time slips away, their danger will only increase," Ye Ziyu clasped Di Mingjue's hand.
What else could they do but wait to investigate?
They had no idea where they had disappeared, or if they were truly in danger. Even if everyone rushed to investigate, there was nowhere to start.
"Ziyu, please calm down and listen to me. The teachers are helping to search, and Ye Shaoting is also arranging for people to search the city. We just need to guard this exit, and we will find clues about them in the shortest possible time," Di Mingjue pressed Ye Ziyu's shoulders, turning her body to face him.
At this moment, Ye Ziyu's heart had already flown to her children. No matter what anyone said, she couldn't calm down to think and accept it.
Slipping free from Di Mingjue's touch, Ye Ziyu shook her head frantically. "No, we can't just sit here and wait!"
They could wait, but what if the other party didn't want to give them the chance to wait? Just like the car accident last time, the other party knew they had discovered them, but instead of fleeing, they had crashed into them. It was clear their actions were aimed at taking her life.
If they changed their target and went after the children, Xiao Ran and Xing Xing would be no match for them.
Ye Ziyu looked at the cars parked nearby and, in a frenzy, got into the driver's seat.
The car door slammed shut, and Di Mingjue and Shen Lin outside only then reacted.
"Ziyu!" Di Mingjue anxiously knocked on the car door. "Open the door, let's discuss this properly."
