Jiang Yiben was still wondering why Jiang Huaizhou suddenly called her again. Just as she was about to get ready, she heard the voice of a little boy. She glanced at the screen of her phone again, and after she was sure it was Jiang Huaizhou's number, she suddenly felt numb from her feet to her head, with goose bumps all over her body.

Blinking hard, Jiang Yi cleared his throat again, "Nic, why are you using this phone to call your godmother?"

"It was this Zhou brother who called you." Nic said, glancing at Jiang Huaizhou standing beside him, "He said he is your friend."

"How did you two know each other?" Jiang Yi asked cautiously, not knowing how the situation had developed now.

"We met in the park," Nic said.

Jiang Yi swallowed unconsciously, "Where's your mother?"

"work."

"Oh."

Jiang Yi wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. When he wanted to give instructions again, the phone had already returned to Jiang Huaizhou.

"He doesn't seem very happy. I just happened to come to Frankfurt. I'll take him to cut the ribbon and then send him back. You don't mind, do you?" Jiang Huaizhou explained the situation in a few words.

"No... I don't mind." Jiang Yi felt guilty. Whatever she minded, he didn't mind his son.

"Then please tell his mother to send him back before dinner."

"Oh, okay." Jiang Yi nodded hesitantly, without any of his usual toughness.

After hanging up the phone, she leaned back on the chair, thought for a moment, and decisively turned off the phone.

She couldn't stop it or hide it, and she didn't want to die now.

After confirming it over the phone, Nic also let down his guard against Jiang Huaizhou and followed him into the car.

Su Zimu was in a meeting in the conference room with his cell phone on silent mode. After the meeting, he saw several missed calls, including one from Nic's kindergarten teacher.

Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly called back. The teacher said that Nic secretly ran out of school while the teacher was distributing breakfast, and also complained about why Su Zimu answered the phone just now.

Nic was missing, and not only did the teacher not call the police, she also called to accuse someone. Su Zimu was anxious, but didn't care about these things. Finding the person was the most important thing. She suppressed her panic and anger and asked the teacher to call the police directly.

Nic was usually very well behaved and wouldn't run around without saying hello. Su Zimu forced himself to stay calm and dialed the number. Soon, a young man's voice came from the other end, "Sister, what happened?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Zimu's nose felt sore. He tried his best to hold it back, and choked out with hope, "Did Nic come to see you?"

"No, what happened to Nic?" The tone of the person on the other end suddenly became tense.

"He's gone." Tears flowed uncontrollably, and Su Zimu recounted what had happened in tears.

Ye Baiyao grabbed his coat and ran out while comforting her on the phone.

The two met soon, and Ye Boyao handed her the coat in his hand, "Don't worry, I have sent someone to look for it, it's okay."

Su Zimu shook his head. "I searched all the places he often went to and asked everyone, but no one had seen him." Am I going to lose him?

She didn't ask this question, but she had thought about it countless times in her heart, and her makeup had long been smudged by her tears.

"The police are also helping to look for it. They will find it."

"He wouldn't be kidnapped, would he?"

Before Ye Baiyao could speak, she denied it herself, "We are just ordinary people. The kidnappers won't be interested in us."

"Did he go to see his godmother? ... No, he couldn't get on the train alone."

"That……"

Ye Baiyao couldn't stand listening to her or watching her jumping back and forth between affirmation and denial. He placed his hands lightly on her shoulders, lowered his head and forced them to look at each other, speaking as gently as possible, "Sister, there are many people looking for you now, and the scope is expanding. Calm down and stop thinking nonsense."

Su Zimu shook his head, his throat aching as he spoke, "I really can't figure out why he ran away. Why did he run away alone? He is always like this. He is only three years old, but he always has his own ideas."

Ye Baiyao reached out and patted her back to comfort her.

"It's all my fault. I'm not a qualified mother. I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a mother. I lost my child. I'm not worthy of being his mother at all..."

The more she talked, the more Su Zimu couldn't control her emotions. Tears and snot flowed together. She didn't care about it and let her hands hang helplessly at her sides.

Although Ye Baiyao could not understand the feelings of a mother facing the loss of her child, he was used to seeing Su Zimu's tough side over the years, and had never seen her so helpless and panicked.

With a slight pain in his heart, he tightened his arms inwards, hugged the person slightly, and patted Su Zimu's back with one hand, his tone full of indescribable tenderness, "Of course you are a good mother, you take good care of Nic."

Su Zimu was speechless and just cried and shook his head.

"Well, I'll take you home first, and you wait at home. If he plays around and comes back to find you're not here, he'll be scared. I'll send more people out to look for him, and we'll definitely find him. Besides, Nic is very smart, so he'll be fine."

After Ye Boyao finished speaking, he moved a certain distance away from her and looked at Su She to ask her what she meant.

Regardless of whether it was a moment of playfulness or a kidnapping, it was indeed necessary to leave someone at home at this time. Su Zimu nodded with a pair of red and swollen eyes.

Ye Baiyao sent the person home and told her to contact him at any time if she had any news, and then left.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was no news from the police, and there was no news from Ye Baiyao for the time being. Su Zimu paced back and forth in the room, feeling restless, afraid of missing any call, and his nerves were completely tense.

From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., a full four hours, there was no news at all, not even bad news.

Ding Dong. The doorbell rang, breaking the long silence.

Su Zimu once thought it was his own hallucination. He turned his head and stared at the door blankly, almost forgetting to breathe.

Ding dong, ding dong.

The doorbell rang twice in succession, waking Su Zimu from her dazed state. She rushed to the door and quickly opened it with one hand.

"See, I said..." My aunt is here.

Nic turned his head to speak to the person not far behind him, but before he could finish the second half of the sentence, a powerful force strangled his chest, and then he heard rapid sobs in his ears.

"Mom? Why are you home?" Nic opened his eyes wide. Usually his aunt was home at this time.

Su Zimu originally planned to give Nic a good beating when he saw him, so that he would remember this lesson, but now he was already crying and wanted to put the little man in his arms back into his stomach to protect him. He asked intermittently, "What's wrong with you?"

"Mom..." Nic guessed at this time that he was probably in trouble, and he called out to his mother pitifully.

Gradually calming down, Su Zimu raised his hand to wipe away his tears, stood up and prepared to let Nic go home, let him eat and drink his fill, and then teach him a lesson.

Unexpectedly, when she took Nic's hand and stood up straight, she suddenly discovered that there were two people not far away, one of whom seemed familiar.
