Zhan Jiayi thought about her time with the child and felt it wasn't right to be so cruel. She agreed, "Okay, I'll do my best to persuade the old lady not to harm the child."
Susu told Zhan Jiayi about the child's background, only mentioning that she and Yang Sijie were friends, which led her to discover that Yang Shasha's child was not Xie Qining's.
After hearing this, Zhan Jiayi sighed, "So, the child's father is actually long gone?"
"Yes, Shasha's love for Yang Sijie was so intense that I don't think she would truly give up custody of the child."
Zhan Jiayi said "oh," and thought about how she had deliberately provoked the child to anger her, which must have completely enraged her, leading to the incident with her and Xie Zhendong.
"The kidnapping last time was instigated by Shasha, wasn't it? That person wasn't Zhendong's enemy in business, right?"
"That person is named Yu Wei, and he is indeed Shasha's man. He has also acted on Shasha's orders to harm me before. But Yu Wei is devoted to Shasha. He has been to the police station twice, and no matter how the police interrogate him, he takes all the blame himself, never mentioning Shasha. So, it's almost impossible to use him to bring Shasha to justice."
"Yu Wei? So that's the name of the person who wanted to kill me and Zhendong." Zhan Jiayi said hatefully.
Susu said helplessly, "Your case has been concluded, and this person will be sentenced and imprisoned. So, we still have no evidence of Shasha's crimes."
"I understand. It seems the old lady's approach is correct. Instead of bringing her to justice, we'll just sell her to Africa, leaving her no chance to ever recover." Zhan Jiayi said.
Susu didn't want to get involved in how the Xie family's old lady would deal with Yang Shasha, but she was very worried about the child.
"What about the child? How do you plan to persuade the Xie family's old lady to spare the child?"
Zhan Jiayi said, "I haven't thought of anything yet, but since I promised you, I'll find a way."
Susu hummed and said, "I hope you won't break your word."
"But even if I can persuade the old lady to let the child go, have you considered that the child will become an orphan with no parents? Who will raise this child in the future? Should they be sent to an orphanage?" Zhan Jiayi said, "Although this child is innocent, he is Yang Shasha's child, and I will absolutely not raise this child."
"This..." Susu hadn't thought about the child's future either. If she were to raise him, she would have to discuss it with Tianyi. "Let's save the child first. There will be ways to solve future problems."
"Okay." Zhan Jiayi said nothing more. Seeing that the food was all served, she called Susu to eat lunch before it got cold.
After parting ways with Zhan Jiayi, Susu returned to her studio, but she was in no mood to work. She hadn't expected that Yang Shasha's matter would be so decisively handled by the Xie family's old lady.
From what Zhan Jiayi said, Yang Shasha and the child were currently being held together, and Zhan Jiayi hoped to save the child.
After lunch, Zhan Jiayi returned to the sanatorium to look after Zhendong, and the more she thought about it, the more she hated Yang Shasha.
Yang Shasha was utterly insane, wanting her son to become the heir of the Xie family and to control the Xie family herself.
If the old lady knew all this, she would never spare the child. If Yang Shasha's child were to be saved and grow up, wouldn't he seek revenge against them? It would only be like raising a tiger that would eventually harm them.
Although she had promised Gu Susu, she also said she hadn't thought of a solution, so there was no need to rack her brains. That child should be destroyed along with Yang Shasha.
...
In the evening, Gu Susu returned home. While playing with building blocks with Tianyi, she recounted everything that happened when she met Zhan Jiayi.
Tianyi listened and said, "The Xie family's old lady is still formidable. Isn't this good? You don't have to worry about anything anymore."
"But I'm worried about the child. He's innocent. Do you think Zhan Jiayi will save the child?" Susu wanted to hear his opinion.
Tianyi said, "Even if Zhan Jiayi wants to save this child, what reason would she use to talk to the Xie family's old lady about it? And she would have to make the old lady listen to her."
"You mean she's actually unwilling to save this child, and even if she wanted to, she wouldn't have any influence with the old lady?"
"That's probably it." Tianyi finally found the right building block and completed a warhorse.
Susu put down the building blocks she was holding and took out her phone to dial, saying, "That won't do. I have to call the police and have them rescue Yang Shasha and her son..."
Tianyi snatched her phone and stopped her, "Don't panic and call the police yet. Let's wait and see."
"We can't wait any longer! If we wait any longer, both the child and Yang Shasha will be sold to Africa!" Susu stood up to grab the phone, but accidentally knocked over the lookout tower she had built last night.
Tianyi also stood up. It was a shame about last night's effort, but he still didn't give her the phone, saying, "Don't get excited, listen to me first."
"If everyone is sold to Africa, how can we save the child? It will be like finding a needle in a haystack!"
"You also said that Zhan Jiayi mentioned waiting for the ship schedule, so it's not that fast," Tianyi said rationally. "Think about it, if the police rescue Yang Shasha and her son from the Xie family's old lady, we have no evidence to put her in jail. Then she can openly harm people again. Who do you think she will target after this?"
"Revenge on the Xie family." Susu calmed down and replied.
Tianyi said, "That's only one aspect. Now that the child's background is no longer a handle to control her, the person she will deal with is us!"
Susu was stunned for a moment and said anxiously, "If that's the case, neither option works. Then we can only watch the child be lost!"
Tianyi suddenly asked, "Are you that concerned about Yang Sijie's child? Do you still miss him?"
"What are you thinking?" Susu immediately explained, "You're still in the mood to be jealous at a time like this. I'm asking you, has this child done anything wrong or harmed anyone? If we know a child is in trouble, regardless of whose child it is, shouldn't we save them?"
Tianyi returned the phone to her, no longer dwelling on these matters, and said, "You're right. We also have children, so of course, we feel sorry for children. I think you should talk to Kang Xi about this first. Tell him not to make a sound, just to secretly investigate where Yang Shasha and her son are being held. And for us to quickly find evidence of Yang Shasha's crimes, we need to prove her connection with Yu Wei and that Yu Wei's actions were all instigated by her."
"That's impossible. Yu Wei seems to be under her spell; he's unwilling to implicate her no matter what..."
"You're wrong. Yu Wei loves her too much. He considers her the person he loves most, which is why he protects her at all costs." Tianyi thought of a plan and said, "If we let Yu Wei know that Yang Shasha not only doesn't love him but also betrayed him, and has no feelings for him, treating him like a dog that can be discarded at any time, do you think he will turn love into hate?"
