"I just arrived a moment ago, and I brought you breakfast," Wei Yanan said, handing over the packed breakfast. "Get up and eat something."
Gu Susu smiled and hummed, "Thank you."
Wei Yanan helped her prop up the front half of the bed so she could sit up. She then glanced at Qin Tianyi, who had a cold expression, and said unceremoniously, "You won't be interested in the breakfast I brought. Go find something to eat yourself, don't starve."
Qin Tianyi's face turned extremely unpleasant. He let out a cold snort and left the ward first.
As soon as he left, Gu Susu couldn't help but smile. "I've never seen anyone dare to talk to him like that. You're amazing."
Wei Yanan stuck out her tongue and scratched her head. "Your ex-husband is good-looking, but he seems so cold, it makes people feel uneasy."
"That's just how he is. Don't mind him, let's eat breakfast."
Wei Yanan placed the small table on the hospital bed, arranged the breakfast, and started eating with Gu Susu.
After only a couple of bites, she remembered the important matter and said, "Right, I had someone inquire. There's a group of people looking for a buyer recently. They say they have a boy they want to sell for eighty thousand."
Gu Susu's heart skipped a beat. Her hand trembled as she took another sip of porridge and asked, "Can you confirm if they are the ones who kidnapped my child? They don't want ransom, they just want to sell the child?"
"We can't confirm if it's the same group of kidnappers yet. We only know they have a child. This is the only child-related matter in the black market recently."
Gu Susu continued to drink her porridge, feeling a bit flustered, wondering if Su Kangxi and the other police officers had successfully rescued the child from the warehouse.
Why hadn't they contacted her?
After Qin Tianyi left the ward, he didn't go far. He leaned against the wall outside the ward, waiting for Gu Susu's so-called good friend to leave quickly.
However, he overheard Wei Yanan's words outside the ward, and his heart clenched. He returned to the ward and asked, "What kind of people are these who want to sell a child? Are they from Lancheng or elsewhere?"
His sudden return made Wei Yanan slightly stunned, but she still replied, "They're from out of town. This group only recently appeared in Lancheng."
"Do you know where they are staying?" Qin Tianyi asked again.
Wei Yanan smiled with a slight curl of her lips. "Their hiding place is quite concealed, but one of my subordinates happens to live in that area and unintentionally discovered their hideout."
"Stop beating around the bush! Where is it?" Qin Tianyi asked with extreme seriousness.
Wei Yanan ignored him and said, "Mr. Ex-husband, is the child yours? Why should I tell you? I can only tell Susu about this."
Xiao Xing was his own son! He almost blurted it out but immediately changed his words, "Will telling Susu be useful? She's very weak now, how can she go look for them?"
Wei Yanan was stumped by his question and looked at Gu Susu, seeking her confirmation.
Gu Susu nodded at her. "You don't need to avoid him. It's fine to say it in front of him."
"It's in the area of the old factory in Nanwan. According to my people, they are hiding in a dilapidated courtyard next to the old factory. The courtyard is somewhat like a siheyuan structure, it used to be for people on duty at the factory entrance, and later it was vacated."
"Xiao Xing is very likely hidden there. I'll take people to check it out immediately." Qin Tianyi wanted to act at once.
Gu Susu called out to him, "Wait, I heard Qin Tianlang say that Xiao Xing was locked up in the warehouse. Su Kangxi has already gone to the warehouse to look for Xiao Xing for me. Let's wait for his news."
Qin Tianyi asked with some surprise, "Tianlang? How did you run into him? Where did you go after escaping the bodyguards protecting you?"
Gu Susu lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong, and whispered, "That morning I received a call from Ai Yiwei. She said she knew Xiao Xing's whereabouts and told me to shake off everyone and meet her at Zhongji Park. So... I had no choice but to go..."
"Why didn't you tell me then? You ran out on your own. Do you know how worried Xiao Mei was when you disappeared like that!"
"Who is Xiao Mei? Is she a dog or a cat you raised?" Wei Yanan said directly. "If you're worried, just say you're worried, why bring others into it."
Qin Tianyi was so embarrassed by the direct confrontation that he was speechless, his face only showing coldness.
This was the first time Gu Susu had seen Qin Tianyi so speechless after being challenged. She really suspected if the person in front of her was the real Qin Tianyi.
Wei Yanan continued to speak without restraint, "You still have the nerve to say you're worried? If you were really worried, you should have taken good care of Susu, don't let her be bullied. Fortunately, I happened to meet her, otherwise she would have been eaten by that scumbag until nothing was left..."
"Yanan, stop talking," Gu Susu quickly stopped her, but it was too late.
Qin Tianyi looked at Gu Susu with a fierce aura and asked, "What did he do to you? Did he cause your miscarriage?"
"He... it's nothing, really. Didn't Yanan say she saved me? Qin Tianlang couldn't do anything to me." Gu Susu was afraid he would act impulsively.
Wei Yanan stared at her in disbelief and said, "Susu, you call that nothing? That guy practically stripped you naked and wanted to assault you..."
"Yanan!" Gu Susu stopped her again, seeing that Qin Tianyi's eyes could kill.
Gu Susu quickly said, "He didn't succeed. This kidnapping of Xiao Xing should be related to him. He said at the time that the child was also in the warehouse. I'll ask Su Kangxi now, did they find anything when they went to the warehouse yesterday?"
Qin Tianyi's eyes were red, and he remained silent.
Even Wei Yanan sensed his dangerous aura and realized she had said too much. She moved to the other side of the bed, feeling that the further away she was from him, the safer she would be.
As Gu Susu was dialing Su Kangxi's number, she heard the phone ring just outside the ward.
Su Kangxi didn't answer and hung up. He walked in and saw Qin Tianyi in the ward, along with a woman dressed like a delinquent. He smiled and said, "Sister Susu, are you alright? It's quite lively in the ward."
Gu Susu saw that he was holding a bouquet of flowers and also smiled, "Why are you bringing flowers? I'm much better."
Su Kangxi placed the flowers in a vase, avoiding Qin Tianyi's gaze, and said, "I hope seeing something beautiful will make you feel better."
Gu Susu stared at the beautiful bouquet of flowers and saw her favorite pink forget-me-nots.
But she quickly came back to her senses and hurriedly asked, "Did you find my child at the warehouse yesterday?"
Shu Kangxi lowered his head and said, "No, we went to that warehouse and searched every room, but we didn't find the child. The people at the warehouse said they never kept any children there. It seems the person who gave you this information lied to you."
Qin Tianyi had been watching the flowers brought by Su Kangxi and Gu Susu's expression as she looked at them. His eyes became inexplicably gloomy.
When he heard Su Kangxi say they hadn't found Xiao Xing, he immediately turned and said, "Xiao Xing must have been hidden in Nanwan. I'll take people there now."
Uncle Gu called out to him, "Qin Tianyi, wait. It's better to notify the police and have Xiao Su go with you. If you go alone, there might be danger..."
Qin Tianyi didn't listen at all. Without looking back, he said, "It's not necessary. We don't need the police. I can bring the child back safely."
With that, he resolutely left the ward. Gu Susu couldn't help but worry.
