Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 508 - 506 He is Her Lifesaver

Netizens might be interested in news of celebrities having affairs or officials keeping mistresses, but how could they pay much attention to a common child abduction?

Jiayi’s heart sank even further at this thought, but she forced herself to perk up, "Fang Yao, you’ve been with me for a whole night. You must be exhausted. Go take a shower; there are disposable towels in the bathroom. If you don’t mind, you can wear my pajamas for now, then rest."

Fang Yao was not at ease leaving her, "I could stay with you a little longer."

"You’ll still need to be with me to search for Zaizai in the next few days. How can you manage without enough rest? Go on, I’ll just sit here for a while."

With no other choice, Fang Yao gave her a look and then headed to the bathroom.

In the living room, a peaceful silence returned. Jiayi suddenly remembered the police’s advice— if Zaizai was kidnapped, the abductors might call.

She searched everywhere for her phone, found it, quickly changed the battery, and powered it on.

The phone screen lit up with no missed calls and no text messages from the kidnappers.

At that moment, how she wished Zaizai had really been abducted by ransom-seeking criminals; that would mean there was still a glimmer of hope. But now, not a single call had come...

For the first time, she felt utter despair. Her hand loosened, almost letting the phone slip, but then an idea struck her. She grabbed the phone, flipped through the contacts, and hurriedly found that phone number.

The contact name at the front blaringly displayed a single character: Huo.

The day he left, after they finished talking, she had saved his number.

Since then, he had never returned to China, and she had never called that number.

But now, that phone number had become her lifeline.

She didn’t know whom else to turn to, so she could only reach out to him...

That man must have the ability to help her!

He had managed to get Zaizai into the best kindergarten in Yunling, had helped suppress the fight incident so Vice-Mayor Xu wouldn’t expel him, and now he must be able to help find Zaizai!

Even if he wasn’t in China, as long as he could make a request, those policemen wouldn’t be so negligent!

With tears welling in her eyes, Jiayi rekindled hope and pressed the dial button.

"Beep—— Beep—— Beep——"

The pre-connection beeps from the receiver were interminably long, each one carrying her hope.

——

Meanwhile, in America, LA, it was ten o’clock in the morning.

In the private hospital located in a wealthy neighborhood, brilliant sunshine dappled the neatly manicured lawn outside the ward.

A black personal phone on the bedside table started to vibrate.

Just as Su Yan was carrying a water cup in from outside, she paused, moved forward, picked up the phone, and with a delicate finger, swiped the screen—clearly displaying: Chu Jiayi.

Su Yan’s face tensed slightly, her hand trembling as she held the phone.

Xiaoyi was calling him...

It had been two months since Xiaoyi had sought him out. Why was she calling now?

The phone continued to vibrate, it seemed it would keep ringing until answered.

With a determined heart, Su Yan’s fingertip slid across the screen, hung up the phone, then deleted the call log, and finally turned off the device.

Just then, a nurse poked her head in through the door, "Miss Su, Mr. Huo’s head MRI is ready."

Her hand shook, almost dropping the phone, but she quickly placed it on the bedside cabinet and steadied her voice, "Okay, I’ll be right there to take Mr. Huo back to his room."

With that, she walked out, closing the door of the ward behind her.

While walking, in an attempt to steady her nerves, Su Yan inquired, "How is Mr. Huo’s recovery from the embolism removal surgery? He should be able to be discharged by now, right?"

"Miss Su, rest assured, the condition is much better than Dr. Kevin had expected. The hematoma has been cleaned up nicely, and as long as everything is stable for a few more days, discharge from the hospital is possible. It seems that Mr. Huo’s decision this time, although bold, was absolutely wise."

Su Yan’s expression finally relaxed slightly, and she exhaled a breath of relief, but then something crossed her mind, her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she probed, "Nurse, since Mr. Huo’s intracranial pressure on the nerve has been relieved, does it mean all the sequelae are gone too?"

"That’s not certain, some people may need a bit of time, while others recover very quickly. Mr. Huo’s previous symptoms were nothing more than headaches, forgetfulness, and memory lapses. You can just ask him directly, see if he still has those symptoms."

Su Yan’s palms, which had just dried, became slightly sweaty again, and her facial muscles twitched.

Ask him? How could she dare.

Wouldn’t that be like walking into the lion’s den?

If he had already remembered everything about Jiayi, asking him would only fuel his anger towards her.

Su Yan remained silent.

——

The international phone call rang several times before it was disconnected.

Disconnected without mercy.

Was he not answering her call? Or was he just busy?

After being stunned for a few seconds, Jiayi suppressed the turmoil in her heart and dialed again.

But this time, it went straight to voicemail.

She was stunned. Was he truly not answering her calls?

Before leaving, he had given her his private number, saying to contact him immediately if there was something important. Or perhaps that was just an offhand remark from a wealthy scion, and she had taken it seriously, while he had long forgotten about it...

No matter what, her last hope had been severed.

Her fingers clenched tightly, forming a fist, feeling as though the last bit of strength supporting her had dissipated.

——

Yunling City, suburban area.

This was a large warehouse district, piled up with big containers ready for overseas shipment, a place rarely visited by people.

One of the warehouses, particularly hidden among the mess, had faint lights shining inside.

A man dressed in black entered the warehouse, walking towards a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked somewhat authoritative and seemed not to be of low status, but at that moment, his face was covered with stubble and dark circles under his eyes, looking extremely haggard and carrying a touch of anger in his eyes as he sat on an abandoned sofa inside the warehouse. He looked like a beaten dog, completely down and out.

Seeing his subordinate come in, the middle-aged man’s eyes darkened, "How is it? That little brat has stopped causing trouble, right?"

"Vice Mayor Yan, rest assured, he finally got tired and fell asleep," the man in black gritted his teeth.

He hadn’t expected that a three or four-year-old toddler could be this troublesome!

Since the day before yesterday when they had taken him, he hadn’t stopped making noise until just a moment ago.

Upon realizing that no one was around to hear his cries, even if he were to scream his lungs out, the little brat gave up on wasting his effort. But, incredibly, he threatened them, saying if they didn’t release him, he would make sure they paid dearly!

The man in black almost didn’t know whether to laugh or cry!

But, it seemed the child’s godfather really was Mr. Huo, otherwise how could he have such boldness?

You learn from whom you’re with!

The man on the abandoned sofa was Yan Bin.

Upon hearing the title Vice Mayor Yan, his cheeks tensed up, the dark cast on his gaunt face became more pronounced, and he clenched his fists before letting out a cold laugh.

Vice Mayor? Ha! He had become a rat crossing the street, not only a wanted felon by the police but also being searched for far and wide by the Longding Society. There wasn’t a day when he wasn’t dodging people, let alone still being a vice mayor!
