Chapter 595: Chapter 596: His Most, Most, Most Precious Treasure
Wen Xiaochu quickly asked, “Was Wen Quan kidnapped, or another child?”
“Another child,” Xiao Zhao said, panting.
Both Xia Yangyang and Wen Xiaochu felt their hearts sink.
Xia Ye had been taken away by Mu Liancheng’s people.
Wen Xiaochu told Xiao Zhao, “Don’t call the police yet. I’ll handle this. Don’t make a fuss in the hospital.”
No one in the hospital knew about Wen Xiaochu’s relationship with Mu Liancheng.
Attempts to kidnap children had happened several times.
The previous attempts were unsuccessful.
This time, undoubtedly, Mu Liancheng had intended to kidnap Wen Quan.
Who would have known that Wen Quan had gone out to the toilet at the time?
So, Mu Liancheng’s men ended up taking the wrong child, thinking he was Dr. Wen’s.
It was a ridiculous mix-up.
“I understand, sister Xiaochu,” said Xiao Zhao.
After Xiao Zhao left, Wen Xiaochu quickly said, “Yangyang, don’t worry. The child was taken by Mu Liancheng. He thought it was Wen Quan. I’ll call him now to have the child returned.”
Xia Yangyang looked pale: “Is Mu Liancheng in Beijing now?”
“Gu Qichen is also there.” A sense of unease slowly rose in Xia Yangyang’s heart.
Wen Xiaochu seemed to instantly understand Xia Yangyang’s worry.
Wen Xiaochu shared her concern: “Surely, they won’t bump into each other, right?”
Xia Yangyang had a constant bad feeling.
But she didn’t need to worry much. She knew what kind of person Mu Liancheng was.
If he realised they had the wrong child, he would definitely return him.
And besides, Mu Liancheng didn’t know that Xia Ye was his child, and he might not even meet Gu Qichen.
With all these considerations, the chances for Gu Qichen to find out about Xia Ye were incredibly slim.
However, Xia Yangyang just couldn’t help but worry.
Wen Xiaochu dialled a number directly.
But the call never connected.
Wen Xiaochu was getting anxious: “He’s not answering.”
Wen Xiaochu was incredibly worried: “He’s been unreachable in the last few days. I don’t know where he is, but Yangyang, don’t worry, Xia Ye is absolutely safe. I’ll find Xia Ye as soon as I can.”
With the child in Mu Liancheng’s hands, Xia Yangyang didn’t need to worry too much about Xia Ye’s safety.
And she had a tracker on Xia Ye.
But Xia Yangyang was still fraught with worry.
Xia Yangyang took out her phone and began tracking Xia Ye’s whereabouts…
In the VIP room of Heaven Bar
Two men were sitting on the sofa drinking.
Bringing his bottle over, Mu Liancheng clinked it against Gu Qichen’s cup: “We’re two of a kind, bro. There’s not a single decent woman in the world. They’re all heartless. No matter how well you treat them, they still think you’re imprisoning and humiliating them. They just spread their wings and disappear without a trace. They’re all damn ingrates.”
It was clear that Mu Liancheng was a bit drunk.
He lifted his head and took another swig.
Gu Qichen didn’t drink, but he also sat quietly, his face darkened.
He seemed to be stuck in his own emotions, unable to break free.
On the other hand, Mu Liancheng was constantly talking. His voice was the only sound in the room.
After spouting off for a while with no response from Gu Qichen, he finally sat down next to him, his hand on Gu Qichen’s shoulder: “Ah Chen, it’s been a while since we caught up. There’s something special I’d like to show you today, my most precious treasure. That heartless woman claimed it had nothing to do with me. What a joke! Could she have conceived it without me? I’d say I own at least half the share. Bro, I did something big today…”
Mu Liancheng took another swig.
Gu Qichen finally looked up: “What treasure?”
