DBSNTM-97.2

Meanwhile, Yijun walked in with his schoolbag on his back.

Yijun went to a boarding school this semester. It was a school under strict management. He had to hand over his phone at school. Only after the holiday began today did he know the news.

“Yibo, Yifei!”

As soon as Yijun walked in the room, he saw Yifei and Yibo, “I heard that my uncle was kidnapped? You also found Jiyang!”

When Yifei heard Yijun mention Jiyang, she turned around and asked Yibo, “Who is Jiyang?”

Yibo stood up and looked at Yijun seriously, “Come with me. I have something to tell you.”

“Cousin, what happened?”

Zhan had been on the news quite often, so in Yijun’ mind, most of the things mentioned in the news were false.

Yibo handed Cici’s medical evaluation to Yijun, “Have a look.”

Yijun took it and saw the name “Cici” on it. He was shocked for a moment before continuing to read.

Looking at this, he was silent completely.

Yibo did not say anything to comfort him, Instead, he told him calmly, “Auntie loves Uncle very much. She has not been in a good mental state recently. We didn’t realize how serious it was until a servant found out that she wanted to commit suicide by hitting the wall. So we sent her to the hospital.”

Yijun looked at him with his eyes red. “Where is she?”

Yibo noticed Yijun clenching his fists.

But he still kept calm, Yibo said, “She was emotionally unstable. So I sent her to the hospital. There are professional doctors in the hospital. I believe it’s good for her. You can go to see her when you’re available.”

It was rare that Yibo had been so patient and said so much to people other than Zhan.

To him, Yijun was different from the rest of the Wangs. Just as Mr. Qiren had said, Yijun was a sincere child.

Yibo had accompanied him since Yijun was a kid, so he couldn’t bear to tell Yijun the truth.

The things about Cici and Yizhou.

And Xiuqing’s death.

Just let these cruel truths be secrets.

Yijun wiped away his tears, “Thank you, cousin. As for what happened to uncle…”

Yibo interrupted him. “That’s our business.”

Yibo let someone send Yijun to see Cici before Yijun went back to school.

There were so many things happened to the Wangs these days, so it was better for Yijun to stay in school.

After arranging these things, Yibo sat in the study for a while before leaving.

Looking down from the second floor, Yifei was still waiting for the phone in the lobby on the first floor.

Yibo turned around and returned to his room. He saw Zhan leaning against the bed and he was distracted.

Hearing the door open, Zhan looked up at him and said, “You’re back.”

In a week, Zhan had lost so much weight. His chin was thinner and his face was paler.

Yibo pinched his pointed chin. He didn’t dare to exert any strength and said calmly. “If you continue to lose weight like this, I won’t take you there.”

“Yibo” Zhan’s expression changed slightly and he pulled his hand.

Instead, Yibo said something else, “Yijun is back”

Zhan paused for a moment, “You…”

It was as if he knew what Zhan would ask, so Yibo said, “I didn’t tell him anything.”

Zhan nodded.

He thought Yibo and Haoxuan were totally different.

When Haoxuan knew his background, he was lost in dragging others to suffer the pains with him, but Yibo was different. He couldn’t bear to let Yijun know these truths.

They were totally different.

So no matter what tricks Haoxuan was playing right now, he could not turn Yibo into someone like him.

Bowen helped Yifei get three hundred million yuan.

In the middle, the kidnappers called her again to ask for cash and gold…

Yibo didn’t say anything and ordered Bowen to do it.

The kidnappers called again, and Yifei was already impatient, She said, “Is it okay this time? We’ve prepared everything you need.”

But the kidnappers seemed to enjoy themselves, “Well, give me another 50 million in cash and I’ll let the old man go!”

Yifei did not expect the kidnapper to raise such an extra requirement. So she tried to contend with them, “Didn’t we make an agreement…”

But the kidnapper did not listen to her. “Before sunset, I will send his hand to you if I don’t get the money.”

As soon as the kidnapper hung up, Yifei ran to Yibo and said, “Yibo, what should we do now?”

Yibo said indifferently, “They will become greedier and greedier. They won’t be satisfied with the money. Call the police.”

Yifei felt that what Yibo said was reasonable.

The kidnapper was sure that they wouldn’t call the police, so they could keep asking for more.

However, after they called the police before sunset, they received one of Yizhou’s arms.

Yifei was so scared that she fainted.

The kidnapper called them again at this time.

On the other end of the phone, Yizhou said in a frightened tone, “Yibo, all they want is just 50 million in cash. Save me, please. I don’t want to die!”

Yibo said indifferently, “Yes. They only ask for 50 million in cash, Back then, they even asked for 100 million.”

Yizhou was so frightened that he mumbled, “That’s it. That’s it…. They only ask for 50 million in cash. Give it to them….”

Yibo was Yizhou’s last straw, so Yizhou could only grasp at Yibo tightly.

“Then why didn’t you give them 100 million?” Yibo said in a sinister voice and was like a devil crawling out of hell.

“Yibo … Yibo, I am your father. Help me…” Yizhou’s only thought was to ask Yibo for help.

“If you had cared about your wife, she would not have ended up like that! Yizhou, this is your retribution!”

Yibo said every word angrily and hung up the phone with a loud sound.

It was dusk.

The servants were all kicked out, and the hall was dim with no lights on.

In the large living room, apart from Yibo and Bowen standing behind Yibo, there was only Yifei who had fainted.

Yibo maintained his posture and sat there motionlessly as if he would merge with the coming night.

After a long time, Bowen said worriedly. “Mr. Wang.”

Zhan had gone downstairs softly.

He walked over softly and Bowen covered the arm that the kidnappers had sent over. “Mrs. Wang.”

Zhan ordered, “Help Miss Yifei to her room. Let me hold down the fort here.”

Bowen took Yifei and the broken arm away.

Zhan sat down beside Yibo.

It was getting darker. In the room with no lights on, he couldn’t see Yibo’s face clearly.

Zhan reached out to cup Yibo’s face in his hands, turned his face, and looked at him. “Yibo.”

Yibo turned around and forcefully carried Zhan into his arms, but he still didn’t forget to avoid Zhan’s unhealed wound on his shoulder.

Zhan reached out and patted Yibo’s back gently. No matter how much he said, it would be useless to comfort him.

He could feel Yibo’s heavy breathing spraying on his neck.

Yibo was in a bad mood.

“My mother is a gentle and beautiful woman. She is better than anyone else.” Yibo’s voice was hoarse and painful.

Zhan felt weepy. “I know that.”

He knew how outstanding Carmen Lee was, Carmen Lee was a noble lady from a scholarly family. She thought that she had married a well-matched husband, but she died miserably in the end.

This was so unfair.

Yibo’s mother was the most innocent person, but she suffered from the most pain and humiliation.

“How could they do that?”

Zhan couldn’t see Yibo’s face, but he could feel the helplessness and pain in his words.

After so many years, his mother Carmen was a thorn in his heart.

She planted in his heart. It would hurt if he moved.

If Yibo’s mother had really died in a kidnapping case, Yibo would not have suffered so much.

Zhan was unable to answer Yibo’s question,

There was no answer to his question.

He was neither Yizhou nor Cici, so he could not guess their thoughts when they did this.

Even an outsider like Zhan found it hard to accept. He couldn’t imagine how painful Yibo was.

He hugged Yibo tightly and said in a serious and firm tone, “I and Fei will be by your side. Our family will be reunited very soon. If Miss Carmen in heaven knows you are happy, she will be happy too. She loves you so much.”

Just as he finished speaking, he felt warm tears fall onto his neck.

Zhan did not move again and kept silent.

The next day.

Zhan and Yibo set off for the small island that Haoxuan mentioned.
