The few seconds it took for the call to connect had Gan Yuan’s heart knotted tightly.
Fortunately, the connection was quick, and the little one’s voice rang in her ear.
"Xiaotang, where are you?"
"I’m with Uncle Moses."
The breath Gan Yuan just let out became taut once again.
Why would he be with Moses?
Could it be that Moses, having seen her interaction with Huangfu Jue, took the child away in a fit of anger?
On the other end of the phone, Moses lifted the little guy’s palm to his own and spoke into the phone.
"I’ll take him back to the hotel first, everything else, we’ll talk when we meet!"
"Okay, I’ll be right there!"
Worried about Gan Tang’s safety, Gan Yuan dared not disobey his command and immediately agreed.
Moses then gently told Xiaotang, "Xiaotang, say goodbye to Mommy."
The little one extended his tiny hand and hung up the phone.
"Sir!" Several bodyguards had already rushed over upon hearing the news, and upon seeing Huangfu Jue and Gan Yuan, they immediately ran to his side, "Are you all right?"
Huangfu Jue waved his hand and put away his phone, then turned to Gan Yuan, "Did you get through?"
Gan Yuan was stunned for two seconds, "He... he’s with Moses!"
Huangfu Jue immediately cursed out loud and made a beeline for the stairs.
"Ajue!" Gan Yuan reached out to hold him back, "Where are you going?"
"I’m going to pressure the President to arrest Moses immediately!"
"Ajue!" Gan Yuan clutched his arm, "Don’t act rashly, it will only provoke him, and if something happens..." She couldn’t finish her sentence, not wanting to voice what might happen to her son. "Listen to me, let me go!"
"You?!" Huangfu Jue frowned.
"Yes." Gan Yuan looked at him earnestly, "He won’t hurt me, you can be at ease, I’ll bring Xiaotang back safely."
How could he be at ease when that bastard had taken his son, and now he couldn’t possibly let Gan Yuan go back there.
"Ajue!" Gan Yuan held on tightly to Huangfu Jue, "For our son’s safety, just bear with it, I beg you!"
"I absolutely refuse this time." Of course, he was also worried about his son, but his son and she were like his two hands, he couldn’t disregard her safety for the sake of his son. Seeing the agonizing look on Gan Yuan’s face, he raised his hand to her shoulder, "Fine, I’ll go with you!"
Gan Yuan was taken aback.
"Unless I go with you, I will not let you see him," Huangfu Jue added.
Seeing his resolve, Gan Yuan was caught in a dilemma, worried about her child on one hand and Huangfu Jue’s safety on the other. She understood his feelings, but Moses...
Gan Yuan cursed inwardly.
If not for such an accident occurring, she wouldn’t have revealed her concern for Huangfu Jue, and things wouldn’t have escalated to this terrible state.
"Duke!" A security officer hurried over, "The President has sent me to inform you that the assassin has been captured, do you want to see?"
Huangfu Jue pondered for a moment then extended his hand to help Gan Yuan’s arm, "Let’s go down and have a look first."
If Moses really wanted the child, rushing over recklessly with Gan Yuan would surely be fraught with danger. He was worried about his child, but he had not lost his reason.
He escorted Gan Yuan downstairs, and indeed saw a group of security personnel gathered around the flowerbed, with many staff members around, some on the phone, some discussing something... every face was somber.
