The fact that Shen Chi Yan and Lin Qiu Tong slept together, while making Song Qi Nian angry and disappointed, made her even more afraid that Zan Zan would be in trouble.
After all, Zan Zan was not Li Jun Shen's biological son. Although Li Jun Shen said he would help her find him, only he knew what he was truly thinking.
And she dared not fall out with Shen Chi Yan now. Her own power was limited, and she could only rely on him to find Zan Zan.
Shen Chi Yan's dark eyes flashed slightly. Although he was also anxious, he felt this was a good opportunity. He stared intently at Song Qi Nian and asked, "Didn't you call Li Jun Shen? His son is missing, why isn't he looking for him?"
Song Qi Nian was stunned. She hadn't expected Shen Chi Yan to say such a thing. Didn't Grandma say he might already know Zan Zan was his son?
Could it be... he had no idea?
Seeing his lack of urgency and worry, Song Qi Nian pursed her lips. The words were at the tip of her tongue, but she didn't know how to say them.
Shen Chi Yan snorted, "Song Qi Nian, Song Zan is your and Li Jun Shen's son. I wish he'd disappear, why would I waste my energy and time looking for him?"
Song Qi Nian looked at Shen Chi Yan in disbelief. Anger surged into her heart. She suddenly didn't want to say anything and turned to leave, but in the next second, Shen Chi Yan pulled her into his arms, "Give me a reason why I must save your son."
Song Qi Nian, in her anger, glared at Shen Chi Yan, her eyes growing redder, "Didn't you say you wished he'd disappear? You don't need to save him, I'll find a way to save him myself. If I can't save him, I'll die with him."
Shen Chi Yan also got angry. He tightly gripped Song Qi Nian's shoulders and roared in exasperation, "Is it that hard to tell me Zan Zan is my son?"
Song Qi Nian was stunned for a few seconds, then punched Shen Chi Yan's chest fiercely, "Since you already know Zan Zan is your son, you still say you wish he'd disappear, and you still don't plan to look for him!"
"I just want to know why Zan Zan is my son. Don't you love Li Jun Shen very much? Didn't you abandon me and leave with him? Why did you still give birth to Zan Zan? Answer me!"
Shen Chi Yan's emotions were very intense. He hadn't asked Song Qi Nian this question before because he guessed he wouldn't hear any truth from her. Now, it was the best opportunity to force her to tell the truth.
If he missed this chance, it would be difficult to hear the truth from her again in the future.
"Song Qi Nian, I'm giving you only one chance. Today, if you confess to me, no matter the reason you left me back then, no matter what happened between you and Li Jun Shen over the years, I can forgive you."
His gaze was fixed on her, his eyes terrifying, "However, if you miss today, I won't listen to anything you say from now on, I won't believe your words, and I certainly won't forgive you!"
Song Qi Nian looked at Shen Chi Yan with teary eyes. Her heart was filled with intense conflict and pain. She knew she shouldn't drag Shen Chi Yan into the grudges between her and Li Jun Shen, but Old Madam was right, she should trust Shen Chi Yan, rely on him, instead of distancing herself from him in everything.
As for Song Guan Liang's matter, she would eventually have to figure it out.
Song Qi Nian let out a heavy sigh, as if she had made up her mind, and said to him, "First, find Zan Zan. As long as Zan Zan returns safely, I'll tell you everything."
"You said it!"
Shen Chi Yan lowered his head and lightly bit Song Qi Nian's pale lips, "If you dare go back on your word, I'll make sure you never see Zan Zan again!"
Seeing Shen Chi Yan about to leave, Song Qi Nian grabbed his arm, "You must save Zan Zan. If anything happens to him, I..."
Shen Chi Yan silenced Song Qi Nian with a kiss, not letting her finish her words, "There will be no accidents. I will definitely bring him back. If... I'm saying if, something unfortunate really happens to him, I will make everyone involved pay a heavy price!"
Shen Chi Yan personally took action. The underworld and the legitimate circles of Jinghua City were mobilized to search for Zan Zan.
Eventually, Shen Chi Yan identified one person.
Shen Chi Yan immediately called Shen Huan Ling.
At this moment, Shen Huan Ling, hiding in a dilapidated house, was distraught and bewildered.
Her plan had been perfect: kidnap Song Zan and then quietly get rid of him.
Especially after receiving Li Jun Shen's call, where he repeatedly told her not to harm his son, she had only one thought in her mind: to strangle him immediately. Her face was ferocious, and her heart was consumed by evil.
But as her hand reached for Zan Zan's neck, the little boy suddenly woke up.
The awakened Zan Zan didn't cry or fuss. He might have been a little dazed, and he obediently called out, "Auntie..."
At that moment, Shen Huan Ling's heart clenched violently. An indescribable feeling made her hesitate.
Although she disliked Song Qi Nian and didn't like Song Zan, whenever she went to the old house, Song Zan would smile at her and sometimes give her candy.
He was learning to speak, and besides "Daddy," "Mommy," and "Grandma," the word he called most often was "Auntie."
Shen Huan Ling had seen other children his age who cried and threw tantrums all the time, which she found annoying.
But Song Qi Nian was never like that. He was well-behaved, obedient, and cute. According to Old Madam, he was exactly like Song Qi Nian.
Even her mother, who disliked noisy children, wanted a grandson after seeing Song Zan.
Shen Huan Ling's heart was in turmoil, but for her future, Zan Zan could not live in this world.
"Zan Zan, don't blame me. Blame yourself for being the son of Song Qi Nian and Brother Jun Shen..."
She reached out and squeezed Zan Zan's neck. With a slight exertion, the little boy's face turned red, and his big, round eyes looked at her in pain, his small mouth slightly parted, unable to make a sound.
Shen Huan Ling knew that if she applied a little more pressure, Zan Zan would surely die.
But at that very moment, she suddenly became afraid.
She had never killed anyone before, and she knew how painful it was to suffocate when one's neck was being squeezed. Perhaps she should choose a less painful way to die!
She abruptly released Zan Zan, and he began to cry loudly in pain. When children cry, it's heart-wrenching. Shen Huan Ling, holding a knife, wanted to kill him but didn't know how to proceed.
Just then, she heard that the Shen family and the police were looking for Zan Zan. Her heart panicked, and she couldn't hold the knife steady.
To prevent Zan Zan's crying from attracting others, she used the same trick again and drugged him unconscious.
When Zan Zan became still, she sat on the sofa, not knowing what to do.
What now?
If no one knew she had killed Zan Zan, it would be fine. But if her grandmother or someone else found out, she would be finished.
But she really liked Li Jun Shen. The moment she first saw him, she was smitten. She only wanted to be with him.
Her phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was Shen Chi Yan calling, she was so scared that her soul almost left her body. She didn't dare to answer, but she was afraid that not answering would arouse Shen Chi Yan's suspicion. So, after composing herself, she pretended to be calm and answered the phone, "Fifth Brother..."
