The last sentence was like a thunderclap thrown from the sky, "crack" it exploded next to Ou Mucen, and he stood there with his phone, motionless.
His son... was also his?
In an instant, scenes from last night flooded over him like a tide, he paused, and immediately began frantically searching the apartment with the phone in his hand: "Ye Ning? Ye Ning?"
However, in the apartment, other than him and his son, that woman, seemed to have completely vanished, not even a shadow to be seen.
Ji Chengzhi heard his roaring and the banging sounds of doors opening and closing through the phone, and hurriedly asked, "What’s happened? Did you meet her last night?"
The man, frantic like a cornered beast, was so panicked he could barely hold onto his phone: "Last night, I slept with her, Chengzhi, I finally remember now, the woman who appeared in my room at the Cuiwei Hotel five years ago, it was her."
"What did you say? Cuiwei Hotel!" Ji Chengzhi was so shocked his jaw nearly dropped.
All the sleepless nights he’d spent validating, were they all in vain? If that woman had slept with him, wouldn’t he have already known the child was his?
Ji Chengzhi felt like cursing!
But, after hearing such panic and distress in the man’s voice the likes of which he’d never heard before, he immediately forced himself to calm down and began persuading him over the phone, "Mucen, don’t panic now, you need to calm down and think carefully, her reasons for leaving? Where might she go? Think about it."
Ou Mucen, who had been tearing through the apartment like a madman, finally stopped, then he stood there, took deep breaths, and began forcing himself to calm down.
Yes, at this time, if he wasn’t calm, it wouldn’t do any good for the situation.
Maybe, she hadn’t left, perhaps, like last night, just when he was most disappointed, she would appear at the door again?
Thinking thus, he hung up the phone and slowly approached the child, "Xiaobao, tell Uncle... tell Daddy, where has Mommy gone? When did she leave? What did she say to you when she left?"
As he spoke, he didn’t want the child to call him uncle anymore, only daddy.
Because, he was his father!
Xiaobao was startled by his self-reference, and his dark, bright eyes looked at him, after a while, he finally handed over the note he had been clutching for a long time, "Mommy said to stay with Uncle for a few days, and Mommy will come back in a few days."
Ou Mucen felt a clench in his heart when he saw the note, a bad premonition rising within him.
She will come back in a few days?
He took the note from Xiaobao, unfolded it, and then elegant handwriting appeared before his eyes...
I received a call from Lin Yebai, stating that Ou Yuze has already discovered the secret of Ningzhou, I need to hurry over. To avoid involving you, it’s best if you stay out of this. Lin Yebai knows the complex web he set up back then better than you do, let him handle it, it’s more advantageous for me. You stay here and take good care of Xiaobao.
Also, in a couple of days, evidence that will vindicate me from the past accusation will arrive. I will have it sent to you, and when it does, I’ll be counting on you to help overturn my case.
