Ghost Hand's face changed drastically upon hearing this. "Li Jiaorong, are you crazy? Aren't you afraid someone will hear you?"
Li Jiaorong sneered, "Heh, afraid someone will hear? Let me tell you, I have nothing to fear now."
Ghost Hand seemed to sense something and asked with a frown, "Rongrong, what exactly happened?"
"Han Feng knows the child isn't his."
"What?! Then, then does he know whose child it is?!" Ghost Hand's heart leaped, and he hastily asked.
Li Jiaorong snorted coldly, "Hmph, so you're scared now. Back then, you swore that even if Han Feng found out, it wouldn't matter, that you, Ghost Hand, weren't afraid of him. What's wrong? Have you gotten older and become the underground boss of Sucheng, and your courage is shrinking?"
Ghost Hand looked helpless. He was young and foolish back then, just a kid, seven years younger than Li Jiaorong.
But things were different now. How could he not know the Han family's influence?
If Han Feng found out that he had been cuckolding him for so many years, Han Feng would likely spare no expense to deal with him.
Especially since Han Feng knew about most of his illicit businesses. If Han Feng made a move against him, his losses would be immeasurable.
More importantly, although he was the underground boss of Sucheng, powerful and established families like the Han family were not to be trifled with. He had received considerable help from Li Jiaorong and Han Feng to reach his current position.
Seeing Ghost Hand's anxious expression, Li Jiaorong said with a cold face, "If he knew, it wouldn't be me coming to find you now. Look at your courage."
Ghost Hand was relieved to hear this and stepped forward to pull Li Jiaorong into his embrace.
"Rongrong, you've suffered. Don't worry, if that old geezer doesn't look after you anymore, I will."
"Actually, I should thank Han Feng. After all, he raised my son for me for so many years."
Li Jiaorong wiped the tears from her eyes. "You still know you have a son? Do you know how much I was wronged today, and our son, he might never be able to stand up again in this life!"
Ghost Hand stroked Li Jiaorong's shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll support him from now on."
Then, Ghost Hand asked doubtfully, "For so many years, that old geezer never found out. How did he find out today?"
Mentioning this, Li Jiaorong's face filled with grievance. "It's all that Chen Fan! It's all him! I took Han Feng to trouble Chen Fan today, but who knew Chen Fan would see at a glance that Han Feng's dysfunction hadn't healed and told Han Feng that Haoran wasn't his child."
"It's that Chen Fan again!" Hearing Chen Fan's name, a deep killing intent flashed in Ghost Hand's eyes.
Last time, he was just a hair's breadth away from taking Chen Fan's life, but to his surprise, Song Wenting had intervened.
However, Chen Fan had thwarted his plans twice, completely enraging Ghost Hand.
Seeing Ghost Hand's anger, Li Jiaorong put on a sweet, feminine act again, nestling in his arms. "Brother Ghost, you must avenge our son. Don't let that kid off lightly."
Ghost Hand said fiercely, "Damn it, Chen Fan, you've ruined my plans twice. I'll take your life!"
Hearing this, Li Jiaorong, nestled in Ghost Hand's arms, revealed a smug, cold smile.
There weren't many patients in the hospital today.
As long as they weren't critical cases, Chen Fan would let Zheng Hairong and the others handle the treatment.
If he saw anything amiss, Chen Fan would point out the problem.
Checking the time, it was already time to get off work.
Since there weren't many patients, Chen Fan arranged for on-duty doctors and planned to leave the hospital with Qin Shuran.
However, just as they got into the car, Qin Shuran's phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at it; it was Cui Jie calling.
As soon as the call was connected, Cui Jie's anxious voice came through, "Doctor Qin, are you at the hospital now?"
"Yes, I was just about to leave work. Sister Cui, did something happen?" Qin Shuran quickly asked.
Cui Jie's voice was choked with sobs. "Doctor Qin, Xiao Ling'er is missing! Didn't she go to the hospital to find you?"
Qin Shuran looked around the hospital grounds and replied hurriedly, "No, Xiao Ling'er didn't come to the hospital. Isn't it time for students to get off school? Isn't Xiao Ling'er at school?"
"No, her teacher said she didn't go to school at noon today. I've been busy at my stall all day. I only found out she didn't come to school at noon when I went to pick her up."
Through the phone, one could hear that Cui Jie was already sobbing uncontrollably.
"Sister Cui, where are you now? Chen Fan and I will come over. Have you reported it to the police?" Qin Shuran asked.
"I, I'm at Old City First Elementary. I heard from other parents that you have to wait 24 hours to report a missing child." Cui Jie's emotions were breaking down.
Qin Shuran's brows furrowed. "Nonsense, that's a rumor. Adults need to wait 24 hours to report a missing person, but children are not adults and cannot handle dangerous situations properly. So, you must report it immediately if a child is missing. Sister Cui, report it now, and we'll be there soon."
"Okay, okay, I'll report it now." Cui Jie quickly hung up.
Chen Fan didn't hesitate and drove towards Old City First Elementary.
At the same time, Chen Fan called Da Xiong. In Jiangcheng, Da Xiong and his men were very efficient at finding people.
Upon hearing that Xiao Ling'er was missing, Da Xiong was also very anxious. He called his subordinates and instructed everyone to start searching for Xiao Ling'er's whereabouts.
After about a twenty-minute drive, Chen Fan and Qin Shuran arrived at the entrance of Old City First Elementary.
Cui Jie sat by the roadside, her eyes red, her face streaked with tears, looking lost and helpless.
She had already searched everywhere she could think of but hadn't found Xiao Ling'er. A crowd of curious parents had also gathered around.
When Chen Fan and Qin Shuran arrived, they quickly went to Cui Jie's side.
"Sister Cui." Qin Shuran squatted down and hugged the emotionally distraught Cui Jie.
"Doctor Qin, Xiao Ling'er, Xiao Ling'er just recovered from her illness. It's all my fault. If I hadn't failed to pick her up at noon, she wouldn't have gone missing." Cui Jie cried, her whole body trembling.
"Alas, it's truly heartbreaking. How could the child be lost?"
"Who can be blamed for this? If she wasn't so busy, how could the child have gone missing?"
"You can't blame the parents either. Everyone is just trying to make a living. Otherwise, who would want their child to go to school alone?"
"I heard a few days ago that quite a few children have gone missing in Jiangcheng recently. I suspect this child was also abducted by human traffickers."
"These hateful human traffickers! I saw a report before that they sell the younger ones and break the limbs of the older children to make them beg."
"What? That's true? How detestable! If I ever met those human traffickers, I'd fight them to the death!"
Hearing the discussions around her, Cui Jie, who was already emotionally崩溃, was so frightened that she fainted!
