Picking up the phone, he paused for a moment before asking, "And what about Ou Yuze? Have you tried calling him to see if she went to his place?"
"No, ever since Dad kicked him out that day, I haven’t been able to get in touch with him. I have no idea where that bastard has gone off to die!"
To curse his only son as a "bastard" showed just how much disdain he had for his underachieving son!
Ou Mucen didn’t say anything else and simply agreed to look into it, then hung up the phone.
Actually, he often felt helpless about his brother. Half-brothers sharing the same father, their fight over the vast family fortune meant they were doomed not to have a good brotherly relationship from the start, with people aloofly plotting for them right beside them.
He had a mother, while the other had a wife and son!
So, many times, they were like two ships in the water: sometimes, even against their will, they were helplessly carried by the currents below.
After hanging up the phone, he then called Ying Hao and asked him to look for the woman and to let him know if there was any news. He then began to worry about what to feed the grandfather and the child that evening.
"Xiaobao, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"Whatever Daddy makes, Xiaobao will eat." After spending a cozy afternoon with his father, the little child had perked up.
Seeing this, Ou Mucen smiled warmly and decided to order something from outside. But, just as he was about to make the call, thinking that this child was still growing and that it wasn’t good for him to always eat such food, he changed his mind and started opening his laptop...
"Xiaobao, shall we go to the supermarket?"
"To buy rice and vegetables..."
What was he planning? Had they just gotten rid of a mother who burnt the pot, only to have a father who was starting from scratch to learn cooking?
Ye Xiaobao felt an unprecedented despair...
Two days later, having spent two days with the child at the apartment, Ou Mucen decided to go to the company. Regarding the child, he had already arranged for him to be sent to the kindergarten under the Ou Group.
But just as he was taking the child out, he received a call from Ying Hao, who had been out of touch for two days: "Third Young Master, we’ve found the Second Young Master’s wife!"
Hearing the news, which had been urgently expected by the people at Blue Mountain Villa these past two days, he immediately felt relieved, "Where?"
He was startled, "Why would she go so far away? What was she doing there?"
Ying Hao shook his head, "I don’t know, but Third Young Master..."
He said just that much, then his words stopped there, as if hesitating about something.
Ou Mucen, losing patience, immediately showed a hint of irritation between his brows, "Speak up, don’t mumble."
"Yes, what we found was the Second Young Master’s wife’s body!"
"What did you say? A body?!!"
"Yes, it was found in the police’s custody. By the time we arrived, it was already with them. Due to severe waterlogging and no identification on her, the police had not been able to confirm her identity, so..."
Ying Hao didn’t finish his sentence, but the implication was clear: if her identity had been confirmed, there would have been no need for their search.
Ou Mucen stood there, and suddenly, his footsteps that were about to move forward came to an abrupt halt!
