Unable to hold it back any longer, Su Zimu trembled and cried out, "Jiang Huaizhou, Nic... Nic is missing... They said... a man... drove the same car as yours... and took him away..."

Even though she was crying her heart out, she still used her remaining rationality and clarity to speak intermittently: "I have called the police, but they haven't come yet. They also don't allow me to watch the surveillance video, saying that I have to wait until the police arrive."

The person in his arms had suffered a great injustice. Jiang Huaizhou raised his hand and gently stroked her head. His throat also felt sore. He whispered to comfort her: "I have sent someone to look for her. It's okay. I have also asked someone to inform the police."

As if that wasn't enough, Jiang Huaizhou continued, "Don't worry, Nic will be fine."

Although he didn't want to say it, he still said it, "Nic is just a bait. No matter how much the other party wants, even if it means losing everything, I will let Nic return to you safely."

Su Zimu cried and shook her head, "It's not just for money. No one here knows your identity, and no one knows the relationship between you and Nic. Nic will never leave easily with someone he doesn't know."

With his brows furrowed, it was undeniable that Su Zimu's clear thinking did remind him. He still remembered the scene when he first met Nic. Although he was young, he was extremely vigilant and was not the kind of child who would be easily deceived.

It's not about money? It's...

Not daring to think too much, Jiang Huaizhou held Su Zimu's hand tightly and said, "Let's check the surveillance first."

While the two were talking, the teacher beside them had already received instructions for her to cooperate unconditionally. At this point, he no longer refused their request and led them to retrieve the surveillance footage.

Based on the teacher's testimony, they guessed the time when Nic left school. Sure enough, during this time period, they saw the teacher appear at the school gate holding Nic's hand. Standing in front of them was a tall man, but he was wearing a mask and his real face could not be seen.

In the video, we can see that Nic held the teacher's hand all the time and did not let go. Then, the man leaned over and said a few words to Nic. Nic looked up at the teacher, then held the man's hand and left.

The whole process takes less than five minutes.

Su Zimu was distressed and turned around to ask, "What did Nic tell you?"

"He asked me to call you," the teacher continued, "but he immediately said no."

Su Zimu closed his eyes. He couldn't bear it any longer. He roared and rushed to the teacher: "Why can't you just call me? Why?"

Jiang Huaizhou hugged her by the waist. He knew that it would be useless to vent his anger at this time. After she calmed down, he spoke: "Do you know that person?"

Su Zimu shook his head weakly.

Jiang Huaizhou asked again: "Does Nic know him?"

Su Zimu didn't answer immediately because she really didn't understand why Nic would go with a stranger.

With mixed feelings in her heart, she pulled her hair, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang Huaizhou, "That man... seems to be... with Xiao Bai."

"Ye Baiyao?" Jiang Huaizhou wasn't sure if he had heard it wrong, a person who was no longer there.

The image in his mind became more and more three-dimensional. Su Zimu was now 70% sure. "I remember that he came to my house to deliver documents once. Xiao Bai seemed to call him Assistant Sun..."

"Do you know what your name is?"

Su Zimu shook her head. She had only met Assistant Sun once, and she still remembered him because his figure was somewhat like Jiang Huaizhou.

Jiang Huaizhou shook her hand and said, "It's okay, that's enough."

He made several phone calls and asked the teacher to inform them as soon as possible if there was any news.

Su Zimu looked confused, not knowing what else she could do next. "Should we split up and go to the park to look for him?"

Jiang Huaizhou shook his head, "The Leng family has already sent people to look for him. Let's go home first and wait for news."

Soon, the news that Jiang Huaizhou was looking for a child reached Mr. Jiang's ears. Leng Yanshan, the old man of the Leng family, joked: "I didn't expect Xiaozhou to be so secretive. He already has a son this big outside."

Old Master Jiang snorted coldly, "My Xiaozhou is very loyal, so don't spread rumors." Although he defended him, Old Master Jiang was also wondering in his heart, whose child was missing that made him make such a big fuss and mobilize so many people? Could it be that he was really an illegitimate child?

Leng Yanshan smiled wryly, "You are old, but you still won't give up until you reach the Yellow River. I will show you the pictures and the truth later, so don't play tricks on me."

Mr. Jiang sneered, "Rumormonger, you're eating instant noodles without the seasoning packet." This is the latest Internet slang he has learned.

Leng Yanshan frowned. What the hell was going on? He would never eat junk food like instant noodles.

The two were bickering when a text message rang. Leng Yanshan picked up the phone from a distance and looked at it. His brows frowned even more, and then his face broke into a smile.

No one knew what he was laughing at. Old Master Jiang was standing by and puffing his beard and glaring, "Are you so happy? Are you going to hold your great-grandson?"

In the past, Leng Yanshan would definitely get angry when talking about this. His grandchildren didn't even get married, let alone have children. But today, not only was he not angry, but he smiled and winked while handing over the phone, "Look for yourself."

Suspicious, Mr. Jiang took the phone and looked at it from a distance. Hey, isn't this Jiang Huaizhou when he was a child?

"Didn't you see?" Leng Yanshan said with a smile.

Although he is old, his mind is still clear. Mr. Jiang thought to himself, something is wrong, could this be the lost child?

He quickly asked someone to bring his reading glasses. Grandpa Jiang put on his reading glasses and took a closer look. The boy in the photo was no more than four or five years old. At first glance, he looked exactly like Jiang Huaizhou when he was a child. But when he looked closely, the little boy seemed even more handsome, especially his eyes, which were bright and shining as if they contained sunshine.

"How is it?" Leng Yanshan shook his head at Mr. Jiang.

Old Master Jiang couldn't continue to be stubborn. He was too familiar with Jiang Huaizhou's childhood. He was afraid that Leng Yanshan would say he was blind if he said that the little boy had nothing to do with him.

Without making any comment, Mr. Jiang took out his cell phone and called Jiang Huaizhou. Without any preface, he went straight to the point, "What's your relationship with the little boy you're looking for?"

Jiang Huaizhou was waiting for news at home with Su Zimu. She glanced at Su Zimu beside her. She thought there was some news and was looking at him expectantly. Jiang Huaizhou put his phone on the table and turned on the speakerphone: "His name is Su Yiqing, he is the child of Mumu and me."

For a long while, there was no sound from the other end of the phone. Su Zimu had already seen the name on the screen clearly. Thinking of Mr. Jiang, tears quickly gathered in his eyes. He had clearly planned to take Nic to see the old man a few days ago.

"Grandpa." Su Zimu finally shouted, "I'm sorry."

After he finished speaking, the person on the other side quickly responded, but his voice was clearly trembling.

At this moment, no matter how many questions there were, they were all unnecessary. Grandpa Jiang's sonorous and powerful voice came, "Xiaozhou, if you can't find the child, you don't have to see me!"
