Chapter 31: A Feast is Prepared, But the Baby Goes Missing
After returning home, Ning Yao entered the space with a cold face.
The space was filled with the warm aura of the spiritual spring. When the aura entered the body, it made people feel extremely comfortable and swept away all fatigue.
Ning Yao lightly leaped onto the winding green bamboo bridge. The moment she landed, the area below her knees was enveloped in the heat emanating from the spiritual spring, which cleared her meridians and cleansed her blood.
She walked for a while and came to a small attic made of mahogany.
As I pushed open the door, I saw four little white balls sitting forlornly in front of the Mirror of the World. Each of them had its little head drooping, looking listless, like wilted little eggplants.
Knowing that they had overheard her conversation with Wen Tingye and Wen Aixiu, Ning Yao calmly sat down in front of the child.
After staying at the Wen family for a while, Sanbao gained a deeper understanding of Wen Tingye. His father seemed very serious on the surface, but in reality, he treated Wen Aixiu very well.
Sanbao saw the room full of high-tech electronic toys that Wen Tingye had prepared for Wen Aixiu, and saw a video of Wen Aixiu as a child, where he was learning to walk while Wen Tingye was on the phone, handling official business.
When Wen Aixiu stumbled and was about to fall, the first person to react was Wen Tingye, who was the furthest away. He stretched out his strong long arm and effortlessly picked up Wen Aixiu, then placed him steadily on the ground. His action was extremely cool.
What shocked Sanbao even more was that he accidentally discovered that his father was quite famous in the hacker world, ranking even more than ten places above him.
Keep in mind that he is already among the top 50 hackers in the world; those above him are all big names.
Sanbao felt that this kind of man was a good match for his mother; at least in his eyes, he was qualified, and could even be considered excellent.
"Mommy, why can't you be with Daddy?" Sanbao stared at Ning Yao, his dark eyes filled with confusion.
Ning Yao was getting a headache from the questions, and the thought of the children contacting the Wen family behind her back made her furious.
"Don't ask anymore." She said in a cold voice, her tone extremely serious.
"Daddy and Mommy are from different worlds and can't be together. You're not allowed to ask this question again, understand?"
If she hadn't been drugged by the villains and hidden in her room, she and Wen Tingye would never have crossed paths in their lives.
Ning Yao glanced at the children, frowned and scolded, "You are not allowed to contact your older brothers and sisters in private anymore, you are not allowed to appear in front of Uncle Wen, and you are not allowed to call him Daddy. If you want a Daddy, Mommy will find you a new Daddy."
Ning Yao's tone was extremely stern. She knew that something like this at the amusement park could not happen again. Wen Tingye was not someone who could be easily fooled. If it happened again, she was not sure she could guarantee that she could still protect the four children completely under her wings.
She had to make the children realize that the Wen family home was a dangerous place, and Wen Tingye was an even more dangerous man, and that they should not approach him casually.
She still had her own revenge to complete, and she had to seek justice for her mother and herself. Before that, she had no intention of dating a man, let alone getting married, having children, or starting a new life.
Ning Yao didn't want her children to know about the dirty tricks adults use at such a young age. They should grow up carefree, and as their mother, she should protect them and let them have a healthy and happy childhood.
The four children were unhappy when they heard that their dad was going to be changed; they didn't want anyone else to be their dad.
Why does someone else have to be your father when you already have your own?
So they started arguing, their little faces fell, and they frantically expressed their thoughts.
They only want Daddy and Mommy together, they don't want outsiders!
"Mommy, we don't want a new daddy, we only want our own daddy."
The four children were almost exposed to Wen Tingye at the amusement park today. Ning Yao was on edge the whole time and felt very upset.
Now, the four usually well-behaved children suddenly started throwing a tantrum, insisting on having their daddy. Ning Yao was worried that they would continue to cause trouble, so she immediately put on a stern face, coldly said "No," and turned and left the space without looking back.
Ning Yao walked very fast, completely unaware that the children behind her suddenly fell silent, their eyes filled with hurt as they looked at her back.
On her way back to her room, Ning Yao thought about how the children had followed her for so many years, enduring a lot of hardship while running around, and lacking a father's love.
Perhaps they are just having trouble accepting it for the time being. Children forget things quickly. As long as we find them a new daddy soon, they will forget about Wen Tingye.
Ning Yao calmed herself down in the room for a while. Once she had completely suppressed her emotions, she got up and went to the kitchen, intending to make some snacks and drinks that the children liked to bring into the room to cheer them up.
The third child's favorite food is steamed crab, the fourth child's favorite is strawberry cake, the fifth child's favorite is radish cake, and the sixth child's favorite is soy milk purple sweet potato cake.
As Ning Yao thought about the foods the children liked while preparing the ingredients, her mood gradually improved.
As evening fell, Ning Yao carried the prepared food into the space. She walked quickly, worried that the children were upset and crying with their little faces red and their noses wet with tears. Just thinking about those scenes made her heart ache.
The attic door was wide open, but the soft sofa and small bed inside were empty.
Ning Yao paused for a moment, then put down the food box she was carrying and called out the children's nicknames. Her voice echoed in the empty attic for a long time, but no one answered.
Ning Yao searched the attic thoroughly, but there was no sign of the children. She then searched outside the attic, turning the space upside down, but still couldn't find the children.
Did those little devils sneak out while she wasn't looking?
Ning Yao disregarded everything else and hurriedly left the space, calling Chen Ma over to search for the person in the villa together.
With the watch's location tracking gone and no one inside or outside the villa, Ning Yao knew that Sanbao must have installed an anti-location tracking system on the watch. To crack it, she would need to find a specialist to handle it, which would take a considerable amount of time.
Moreover, if Sanbao and the others really don't want to be found, they'll just throw away the watch, and then even if they crack the anti-location system, it won't be of any use.
Ning Yao lost all her strength and slumped onto the sofa, grabbing her hair with her hand. Her eyes were lifeless, and she looked utterly devastated.
She began to feel intense regret, regretting why she had been so harsh on her child.
They're only five years old, what's wrong with wanting a daddy?
Seeing Ning Yao like this, Chen's mother felt heartbroken. She took her phone and went to a corner to call her son, Chen Xuezong, and told him the truth about the child's disappearance, hoping that he could ask Yang Dongcha to help Ning Yao think of a solution.
