Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 740 - 23: Tang Yige, You’re Really Something!
"Yige, no matter what, Father is still your father. Without him, there wouldn’t be you, you know?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Zhou Xueran said, crying.
Tang Yige choked slightly, "Mom, I’m not brushing you off. So you don’t need to remind me that I’m your biological child, raised by both you and Dad. Now that Dad’s in trouble, as his daughter, I certainly won’t stand by and watch, let alone ingratiate myself with you."
Zhou Xueran said nothing.
Tang Yige’s eyes stung as she inhaled, "Mom, give the phone to Tang Ruan."
After a while.
A soft voice came from the phone, "Sister."
Upon hearing "sister."
Tang Yige felt a wave of discomfort rise in her heart.
But knowing now wasn’t the time to dwell on it, she asked, "You still haven’t been able to contact Rong Sinan?"
"...Yeah, I’ve been calling him, but it’s always turned off, can’t get through." Tang Ruan said softly, her weak tone tinged with disappointment and gloom.
Tang Yige paused for a moment, then said, "So, you also haven’t received a call from him?"
On the other side, Tang Ruan was silent for a while.
When she spoke again, there was a noticeable caution in her voice, "Why do you ask like that? Have you seen him?"
"..." Tang Yige lightly pressed her lips, "Yes. I told him everything about Dad’s situation. I thought that once he knew, he would contact you."
That’s why Tang Yige had been so calm these past two days.
She firmly believed that as long as Rong Sinan knew about this matter.
Given how much he cared about Tang Ruan, he would never stand by and do nothing.
And if he got involved, there would be no reason this matter couldn’t be resolved.
Therefore.
When she heard Zhou Xueran say over the phone that Tang Yuwen was still being held at the police station, she was a bit shocked.
After all.
She thought the matter had already been resolved!
"You’ve seen him? Where is he?"
Tang Ruan’s soft tone suddenly turned forceful, interrogating her "with full chest power."
Tang Yige didn’t like her tone, frowned, and didn’t answer.
"...Sister, where are you? You’ve seen Sinan, right?"
Perhaps realizing her previous tone was off, Tang Ruan’s voice softened again.
"Paris. He’s in Paris," Tang Yige said.
"Paris? Paris is so big, can you be more specific? Where did you see Sinan before? Hmm?" Tang Ruan’s voice tightened.
Tang Yige thought about it and gave the name of the hotel.
"...You, you met at a hotel?" Tang Ruan’s voice quivered dramatically.
Tang Yige caught the implied meaning in her words, and her voice turned cold immediately, "Tang Ruan, don’t assume everyone is as sordid as you!"
"I-I didn’t mean it," Tang Ruan trembled.
Tang Yige snorted coldly.
"I’ll book a flight to Paris right away to find Sinan. As long as I find him, Dad will be saved," Tang Ruan’s voice carried a hint of excitement.
But Tang Yige wasn’t as optimistic as Tang Ruan.
Rong Sinan clearly knew that Tang Ruan was looking for him.
He also knew about her dad being arrested, yet two days had passed without any action from him, not even a call to Tang Ruan.
Tang Yige looked serious.
What on earth is Rong Sinan thinking?!
...
"Ah... Yige, save Dad, save Dad, they’re going to beat him to death, Yige..."
"Dad, stop hitting him, stop..."
"Beat you to death, old man, for taking drugs, for hiding drugs, beat you to death, you scum..."
"Dad..."
"Daddy."
Tang Yige suddenly sat up from the bed, her forehead covered in sweat, and her pale neck also slick with cold sweat.
Yige opened her eyes wide, clutching her chest, panting, her eyes shifting uneasily in the dark.
Closing her eyes for a moment, Yige quickly reached out, found the switch for the bedside lamp, and turned it on.
Looking at her surroundings, Tang Yige confirmed she was still in the rental apartment in France, not in the cold interrogation room of Z City.
Earlier in her dream.
She dreamed that Tang Yuwen was beaten to death for not admitting he hid drugs.
In the dream, she witnessed the entire process.
Tang Yuwen’s face was covered in blood, beaten to the point of helplessness, lying on the ground, pleading with her.
Even when beaten to death, his eyes remained open, still wistfully looking at her.
Tang Yige hugged her legs tightly, closing her eyes firmly.
The feeling was just too awful, too awful!
She knew deep down.
If Tang Yuwen continued to deny hiding drugs at the police station, what she saw in her dream might really happen.
Though they wouldn’t beat him to death, they wouldn’t just scare him off.
They would actually take real action!
Tang Yuwen is nearly sixty now; how could he withstand such...
Thump thump...
The phone’s vibration suddenly came.
Still not completely recovered from the nightmare, Tang Yige was so startled that her back went numb.
"Mmm..."
The little round ball beside her turned over, its chubby little hand grabbing a soft pillow and covering its small ear, letting out a disgruntled grunt.
Tang Yige opened her eyes, looked at Rong Rui with her sweat-drenched eyes, then turned to the phone vibrating on the bedside table.
Inhaling deeply, Tang Yige reached out, picked up the phone.
But the moment her eyes swept over the phone screen, she suddenly froze.
