Chapter 454: This Pregnancy Really Isn't the Right Time

Zhu Yiwen's words were like a shot of adrenaline to his subordinates.

Consequently, the people were invigorated again; no one mentioned surrender, but rather how to save themselves.

And at this moment, Sheng Hanyu woke up.

……

L Country, hotel.

Shi Youxuan was on a video call with her daughter in her room.

Her daughter said to her sensibly, "Mom, take good care of yourself abroad, don't worry about me."

Shi Youxuan was proud of her daughter's sensibility, but also felt heartache.

"Mm, we will be back very soon. What kind of gift does Baobao want? Mom will bring it back for you."

"Dad and Mom coming back together is the best gift for me."

Shi Youxuan: ……

Her nose felt a bit sour, and she wanted to cry.

But she still nodded very earnestly: "Mm, don't worry, Dad and Mom will come back together, but I still have to buy you a gift. My Ranran is so well-behaved, Mom and Dad will praise you properly when we get back!"

"Mm-hmm."

Shi Ran smiled even more sweetly.

The little girl would act like a spoiled brat and be unreasonable when there was nothing going on, but when something happened, she would immediately act like a little adult, not needing anyone to worry at all!

Just like this time, they went out to save people, and Shi Ran didn't hold them back at all.

If it were another child, they would inevitably cry and refuse to let them leave, but Shi Ran didn't; she obediently followed her grandmother home to stay.

Later, Sheng Hanyu was taken away by Zhu Yiwen, and there was no news of him.

Shi Youxuan didn't want her daughter to know and worry, so she didn't tell the child, and she wouldn't ask a single word either.

Every time they video chatted, she would tell them to take good care of themselves, not to worry about her, and say that she was doing very well.

Such a sensible child really deserves to be praised well.

"Bang!"

Wang Yong burst in without knocking: "Sister-in-law, it's not good..."

He had just started when he realized his sister-in-law was video chatting with her niece, so he shut his mouth urgently.

"Baobao, it's getting late, go to sleep early, you have school tomorrow."

Shi Youxuan hung up in a hurry, then asked Wang Yong: "What's not good? Tell me quickly."

"Zhu Yiwen has escaped, and he took Big Brother with him."

Shi Youxuan: ……

Although this was not good news, it wasn't too bad either, within the range she could accept.

The island was now under police control, and a large amount of evidence of Zhu Yiwen's crimes had been found inside.

A large number of maritime police had also been dispatched to search the sea, but they had searched the nearby waters and found nothing!

Jian Yixin and Sheng Zerong rushed over from A Country.

Jian Yining and Jin Wan'er also came over from the United States; the few of them accompanied Shi Youxuan, taking turns to comfort her and telling her to trust the police, that they would definitely find the person and rescue him.

Shi Youxuan very much wanted to believe that everything they said was true, and she also wanted to wait peacefully in the hotel, hoping that the next moment she would receive the good news that Sheng Hanyu had been safely rescued.

But a day passed.

There was no news at all.

……

High seas.

This area of the sea was already far beyond the jurisdiction of L Country, and the maritime police finally found that speedboat!

It was just that the speedboat was empty, with only a lonely boat drifting on the sea surface.

The maritime police boarded the speedboat to inspect it and found obvious signs of a struggle on the boat, as well as bloodstains.

There were also bullet holes on the boat; judging from the positions, they should have been fired by the people on the boat, but there was no one!

Where had everyone gone?

The police expanded the search area and used the radio to ask fishermen who had passed through this sea area if they had discovered anything.

Before the nearby fishermen could respond, several corpses floated up from the sea; it was later confirmed that they were all bodyguards from the island, and also the people who had escaped with Zhu Yiwen.

But Zhu Yiwen and Sheng Hanyu were not among the corpses!

At this time, someone nearby replied, claiming that pirates were rampant in this sea area, and that pirates had appeared here yesterday...

Judging from the time the corpses floated up, their time of death should be related to the pirates.

So, were Zhu Yiwen and Sheng Hanyu also abducted by the pirates?

Kidnapped again?

No one knew what had happened at the time, but such a matter had to be told to the family members.

Shi Youxuan received the call and was informed that Sheng Hanyu had mysteriously disappeared at sea; she could no longer bear such a blow—and fainted!

When she woke up again, she was in the hospital.

Jian Yixin and Jin Wan'er were guarding her side, their expressions a mix of joy and worry.

"How did I get here?"

She struggled, intending to climb out of the hospital bed; this time, Shi Youxuan was determined not to rely on anyone and would go find him herself.

Sheng Hanyu would be fine; she was firm that she would definitely find him back.

Jian Yixin held her down: "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find Hanyu. This time I won't believe anyone, I won't listen to anyone's words, I will go find him myself, and I will definitely find him back."

Jian Yixin: "No, you must stay honestly in your hospital bed; you cannot go anywhere."

Shi Youxuan said: "Don't think about stopping me. I have already promised Ranran that I would return to Jiangzhou with her father this time. If I don't bring Hanyu back, how can I face my daughter?"

Jian Yixin: "You are pregnant, do you know that?"

Shi Youxuan:...

She really did not know.

Jin Wan'er also confirmed from the side: "That's right. After you fainted, the doctor examined you and said there is a little Baobao in your belly now. You must not have major emotional ups and downs."

The two women spoke one after another.

Both urged her to properly protect the fetus now; she could not get agitated, and even more so, could not run around!

Shi Youxuan recalled it and realized that her "Aunt Flo" was already half a month late; she was usually very regular.

"This child has come at a truly bad time."

Shi Youxuan touched her still-flat lower abdomen and sighed.

She and Sheng Hanyu had only been back together for a little over a month, and yet she was pregnant.

But although the child came at a bad time, since it had arrived, Shi Youxuan decided to nurture the fetus well and let the child be born safely.

Without the two of them needing to persuade her further, Shi Youxuan would not take the initiative to suggest going out to sea to look for people.

Jian Yining, Sheng Zerong, and Wang Yong went out to sea.

Although trying to find someone in the vast ocean was the same as looking for a needle in a haystack, as friends, they would not let go of even the slightest chance.

Before departing, Wang Yong promised Shi Youxuan: "Sister-in-law, please rest assured. If I cannot bring Big Brother back this time, I will not return to see you."

Jian Yixin created a group on WeChat, and the videos sent by the three men from the sea every day became the eternal topic in the group.

The first day.

There was no news at all.

There was only the vast seawater and the busy salvage team at work; they had gained nothing.

The second day.

People returning from fishing in the distant sea said they had seen an unfamiliar face on a Pirate Ship, but it was only one person, not two.

Pirates do not rob ordinary fishermen; they only target wealthy people on luxury speedboats and cruise ships.

Because they live on the high seas for long periods, some fishermen even do business with the Pirates in this vicinity, selling them some daily necessities and the like.

The fisherman who passed on this news belonged to this type.

And according to the fisherman's description, that stranger who appeared on the Island looked more like Zhu Yiwen, both in build and appearance!

There was still no news at all about Sheng Hanyu.

The third day.

The fourth day.

Ten days passed.

There was still not a shred of news about Sheng Hanyu. Although people did not mention that word in front of Shi Youxuan, everyone knew—the situation was grim!

"Ugh—"

"Ugh, ugh—"

Shi Youxuan was already thin to begin with, and after becoming pregnant, she threw up everything she ate. Over these past ten days, even though Jian Yixin and Jin Wan'er took turns making delicious food for her, she had still lost a significant amount of weight.
