She is now six months pregnant, and if anything were to happen, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Yufei, don’t you trust your mom? Do these photos have something to do with your dad? Is he in trouble?" Nangong Ruyue asked anxiously.

Jian Yufei tried to speak calmly.

"Dad is definitely still alive, so you don’t need to worry about that."

"And then?"

Jian Yufei bit her lip and said, "But Dad is injured."

Even though Nangong Ruyue was mentally prepared, her fingertips still trembled upon hearing her words.

"How serious are his injuries?"

Jian Yufei choked on her words, "They’re quite serious."

"Show me the photos, I can handle it." Nangong Ruyue’s tone was very calm.

"Mom, promise me you won’t get upset."

"I won’t. Your dad hasn’t been rescued yet; I won’t let anything happen easily. If something happens to me, who will save him?"

With her assurance, Jian Yufei then approached her and handed over the photos.

Nangong Ruyue slowly took them—

In the photos, Xiao Zexin was lying on the ground, his body and face covered in blood.

His eyes were open, but they were vacant and lifeless, clearly having suffered a great deal of harm.

Nangong Ruyue covered her mouth and burst into tears uncontrollably.

"Mom, please don’t get upset." Jian Yufei quickly embraced her, constantly consoling her.

Nangong Ruyue clutched the photos tightly, her heart aching as if being cut by a knife—

Seeing the one she loved most suffering such severe harm, she wished she could tear the one who hurt him into pieces!

"It’s all my fault, it’s all because of me..." Nangong Ruyue cried hysterically, overwhelmed with grief.

Jian Yufei hurriedly held her hand.

"Mom, calm down. What we need to do now is rescue Dad. Didn’t you say that as long as he hasn’t been rescued, you wouldn’t let anything happen to yourself? If you keep getting upset, it’ll affect the baby. If something happens to the baby, you’ll be affected too."

"..."

"Mom, as long as Dad is alive, there’s hope for everything!"

Nangong Ruyue gritted her teeth, wiped away her tears, and nodded resolutely.

"You’re right, I must stay calm, I absolutely have to stay calm..."

Suddenly, Nangong Ruyue thought of something, and her expression changed dramatically.

"Oh no, your grandpa might be in danger!"

If Hardy has really turned against them, then he certainly wouldn’t be pretending anymore.

He might also make a move against Nangong Wenxiang.

Jian Yufei’s expression changed as well.

They rushed to find Nangong Wenxiang, with Jian Yufei being the fastest, quickly dashing into his bedroom.

The door was pushed open forcefully—

In the bedroom, Nangong Wenxiang was lying on the bed, quietly with his eyes shut.

"Grandpa!" Jian Yufei called out to him cautiously.

Nangong Wenxiang didn’t respond.

Jian Yufei’s heart pounded heavily, "Grandpa? Grandpa!"

Nangong Wenxiang slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing he was fine, Jian Yufei breathed a sigh of relief.

Nangong Ruyue rushed to the bedside, "Dad, are you okay?"

Nangong Wenxiang looked at them in confusion.

Nangong Ruyue gave Jian Yufei a look, and Jian Yufei understood, closing the door.

With no one else around, Nangong Wenxiang dared to speak.

"What’s going on with you two?"

Jian Yufei stepped forward, "We suspect Butler Hardy is problematic and might try to harm you."

Nangong Wenxiang didn’t show any surprise upon hearing this.

Jian Yufei’s eyes flickered, "Grandpa, you knew he was a problem?"

Nangong Wenxiang replied lightly, "Who here doesn’t have problems? It’s not surprising he would too."
