Rong Shaoze suddenly clenched his fists, trying hard to restrain his anger.
Yuan Ye laughed heartily and hung up the phone. He too slowly lowered his phone.
Xu Yao pondered and asked, "Is it really him?"
Rong Shaoze nodded slowly, without a trace of doubt.
Xu Yao’s expression immediately became sullen, "I didn’t expect him to still be alive! Back then, we all saw him die with our own eyes. Even if he didn’t die, under such circumstances, he couldn’t possibly have survived..."
"But he’s indeed still alive," Rong Shaoze said deeply.
Xu Yao pursed his lips slightly, and the atmosphere became heavy in an instant.
Both men could clearly feel that this time, the matter would not be easily resolved.
Ever since Xiaotian’s incident, Lin Xinlan hasn’t left the house.
She’d rather stay cooped up inside forever than let the child face any accident.
Rong Shaoze left in the morning and hadn’t returned.
At night, Lin Xinlan handed the child over to the Maternity Matron and went back to her room to shower and rest.
It was very late, and Rong Shaoze still hadn’t come back.
Lin Xinlan felt uneasy. Recently, she always had a premonition of impending danger.
While she was thinking, the sound of a car engine suddenly came from outside.
Lin Xinlan hurriedly ran barefoot to the balcony and looked down, meeting Rong Shaoze’s eyes.
The man looked at her deeply, then walked into the house, striding towards the second floor.
Lin Xinlan opened the door as he entered, his dark eyes fixed on her, not saying a word.
"What’s wrong?" Lin Xinlan asked nervously.
Right now, any abnormality would make her extremely anxious.
Rong Shaoze hugged her body and said indifferently, "Nothing, just that I miss you so much."
Every moment of every day, he was thinking of her. She had become a part of him, embedded in his bones, never to be forgotten.
Lin Xinlan smiled gently, embraced him, and asked, "Why are you back so late? Has there been any progress?"
Currently, Rong Shaoze wouldn’t hide anything from Lin Xinlan.
Surely, Lin Xinlan wouldn’t reveal anything he told her to anyone else.
Rong Shaoze hugged her tightly and whispered, "Xinlan, I have something to tell you."
"Today I talked to Xiaocong, he’s alive and well, you can rest assured."
Lin Xinlan trembled all over and hurriedly pushed him away.
She was excitedly asking in disbelief, "Really? Did you see him? How is he? Has he lost weight? Has he been hurt or suffered?"
Rong Shaoze smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I saw him through the computer. He said he’s fine. He looked very calm and unafraid. I knew then, he’s an extraordinary kid."
Lin Xinlan suddenly bit her lip tightly, her eyes filled with tears.
Finally confirming that Xiaocong was alive and well, her mood was extremely agitated.
Rong Shaoze wiped away her tears and softly said, "Now I’m certain he’s in Yuan Ye’s hands. I’ll find a way to rescue him. Xinlan, soon our family will be reunited."
Lin Xinlan nodded while crying. She had been waiting for this moment for so long, and it was finally about to come true.
Rong Shaoze held her again, his gaze cold as he said, "However, Yuan Ye demands I go to Las Vegas in five days. If I don’t go, he will kill Xiaocong. Xinlan, tomorrow I will leave. You stay home, don’t go anywhere. As long as you don’t step out of this door, no one can hurt you."
"But won’t you be in great danger?!"
