Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 288 - 261: The Child Is Missing
Upon hearing his words and looking at his expression, the crowd that had just relaxed suddenly became tense again.
[The child is missing?]
[How did it go missing?]
They were particularly glad that they had just been immersed in the ending of that scumbag, and didn’t, as usual, flood the livestream with comments like "welcome unlucky ones."
Otherwise, they would probably feel guilty now!
The man was wearing a jacket, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, looking as if he hadn’t slept all night.
Hearing this, Mu Yunchu also became more serious and comforted, "Don’t worry, you can slowly explain the situation."
...
Wen Xu looked at the threatening letter in his hand, just like the one he received at the hospital before.
His eyes darkened, and his face was as cold as frost.
Opening the drawer, he took out a thick stack of similar letters and directly burned them to ashes.
He picked up his phone and dialed an unfamiliar number from the missed calls.
"Hello?"
The other side didn’t seem surprised at all by his call.
They had expected that Wen Xu would look for them sooner or later.
"Have you figured it out?"
The question came out in a rather unpleasant tone.
"If you’ve figured it out, as long as you come to sign a voluntary renunciation of inheritance agreement when you have time, I will prepare five million for you and send you abroad."
"As long as you don’t return to the country, I’ll keep sending you money."
"Rest assured, I won’t let you starve."
Wen Xu remained silent.
This condition had been presented to him before.
But he never agreed to it in the past.
However, because of this, he had lost patience and started sending those threatening letters.
Including that roadside car accident, which he had orchestrated.
Wen Xu’s silence made the other party think he agreed by default.
So the tone became more flippant.
"Why didn’t you agree to my condition earlier? After all, we share half of the same blood. Honestly, I didn’t want to kill you."
He was saying he didn’t want to kill Wen Xu.
But it sounded more like he regretted not having killed Wen Xu.
"But fortunately, the driver followed my instructions and let you live."
Wen Xu: "..."
"Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore, let’s set a time." He paused for about a second, "How about tomorrow?"
If there weren’t still some procedures that needed time, Wen Xu guessed he might suggest signing tonight.
However, just when he thought that this could end things.
Wen Xu suddenly spoke.
"I called to tell you."
"I’m not leaving Qinghe."
"!!!"
The other side became clearly furious: "Wen Xu, do you know what you’re saying?"
"I said, I’m not leaving Qinghe, no matter what you’ll do in the future."
As the words fell, both fell silent, and the surroundings became extremely quiet.
After a few minutes, the person on the other end laughed somewhat frantically: "Fine, you said it!"
Looking at the now dark screen, knowing he was about to face danger, there wasn’t a hint of fear in his eyes.
He picked up the photo frame on the table, gently swept his thumb over it, and softly said, "Will you blame me for making this decision?"
...
"My name is Zheng Zheng."
The man took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
He began to tell Mu Yunchu about the events that had happened to him.
"My four-year-old child is missing."
[Four years old??? That age shouldn’t be able to get lost on their own, right?]
[I agree, I think they were probably taken.]
[I don’t know how others were at four, but my mom always told me that when I was four, parents never left their children unattended. They would be very cautious if someone got close, fearing that if they weren’t watched for a moment, the child would be taken away.]
[Same here. In my area, parents usually have several children close in age, which often leads to a scene of one mother pushing a pram with one child on her back. Perhaps because of this, there are many child kidnappings.]
[Saying all this is useless, let the person with firsthand experience explain how and where the child went missing. Also, there’s the host here!]
... 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Zheng Zheng, thinking about his daughter’s cute face, felt sad and wanted to cry again.
He had been so eagerly awaiting this child, whom his wife gave birth to after ten months of a difficult pregnancy. How could she be lost just like that!
Mu Yunchu gazed at him intently and said, "Don’t worry, from what I see, your daughter is not in any immediate danger."
"Really?" Zheng Zheng blinked, about to be happy, but then he thought of something.
No, when children are stolen, they are generally kept alive, so they can be sold.
But seeing the comments from some people in the livestream, he knew this wasn’t the time to be pessimistic, so he quickly explained the whole story.
Mu Yunchu specifically instructed him to be detailed.
"Perhaps some insignificant detail is key to finding her."
Zheng Zheng took this to heart and, if not for his urgency, would have started from his wedding day.
"It’s like this, my child’s mother and I are from a remote third-tier city."
Such cities, as he described, might not even live up to third-tier standards.
Called third-tier, but they’re actually near villages, mostly with self-built houses by residents themselves.
Basically, a more developed village. With all city facilities available, like large supermarkets or markets, with low living and housing costs, it’s very suitable for young people who can’t keep up in big cities to retire here.
[I see, and then?]
Zheng Zheng said, "Both my wife and I work, but she only takes on temporary jobs."
This way, they could have some income while having enough time to care for the child.
[So, is caring for the child solely the responsibility of the child’s mother?]
"No, no." Zheng Zheng reacted strongly, "It’s not like you think; I take care of the child at night."
Although this isn’t particularly related to what he was about to explain, he reflexively contradicted it.
He deeply understood how hard it was to have and care for a child, so he’d never burden his wife with it alone.
[...]
[...]
After saying all this, Zheng Zheng watched the numerous ellipsis-filled comments scroll by, confused about their meaning.
"What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Although he was usually busy with work and had little time to play on his phone, he would occasionally watch short videos when he was free. Naturally, he knew what was coming if someone spoke wrongly online.
Instantly, Zheng Zheng nervously started picking at his fingers.
