Chapter 507: My Son Is Your Son

~8 min read 1,561 words

Wang Yinghao asked, "How is it, how is it? Has Yixin opened her heart?"

In fact, seeing everyone's expressions, she had already guessed.

But she still had to ask.

Originally, everyone had been happy, but at her question, they revealed difficult expressions and did not answer.

Instead, they all looked toward Shi Youxuan.

She had made the decision to Ganqin on her own; how would she explain it to her mother-in-law when she returned? This was a problem.

Wang Yinghao liked Jian Yixin very much, but that did not mean she could agree, at least not agree happily and from the bottom of her heart.

"Did something happen?" Seeing everyone looking at Shi Youxuan, Wang Yinghao asked her daughter-in-law as well.

Shi Youxuan's face was full of indifference as she said, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm going to have Zichen Ganqin with Yixin and Ze Rong. Everyone knows about it, and then they all had this expression; I don't know why either."

Everyone:...

Wang Yinghao: "Oh, does Yixin agree?"

Everyone:...

Shi Youxuan: "Yes, before I could even say it, she spoke before me. After she finished, I agreed, and Yixin was incredibly excited. I don't know what she was so excited about."

The friends finally understood; it turned out the whole family had already discussed this matter.

They were prepared to do just that!

Shi Youxuan returned, preparing to hold her son and play for a while, to tease him until he cried!

As a mother, she was extremely unreliable.

Other mothers at this time were overflowing with maternal love, unable to suppress it.

She was fine; she would hold the child to coax him, and while coaxing, she would tease him until he cried.

She even euphemistically called it—training Sheng Zichen's ability to withstand blows.

Her mother-in-law blocked her: "What do you want to do? Let Zichen sleep a little longer; wait until he wakes up to play with you."

Shi Youxuan had only given birth two days ago, her body had not yet recovered, and she had been out for a long time just now, so her mother-in-law told her to go to bed and rest.

She also felt exhausted, so she kissed the child's little face and went to sleep.

Everyone said their goodbyes, preparing to return.

Shi Youxuan asked her mother-in-law: "Mom, is there any millet porridge left? Yixin said she wanted to eat postpartum meals; pack some for A Ning to take back."

Wang Yingzhi: "Not right now. In a while, Fang Jie will bring over freshly cooked millet porridge, and I will deliver it personally then."

"Okay." Shi Youxuan took off her hat, changed into a Hospital Ward gown, and went to bed to rest.

She had originally intended to take a short nap, but she fell asleep quickly once she got into bed.

She slept very soundly.

"Xuanxuan, wake up, wake up!" Sheng Hanyu anxiously pushed Shi Youxuan hard, shaking her awake.

She opened her eyes groggily, very unwilling.

Her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and her head felt dizzy and swollen; she just wanted to keep sleeping.

But in the outer room, Wang Yinghao was screaming heart-rendingly: "Zichen! Which thousand-knife-slashing person took my grandson away!"

Shi Youxuan woke up instantly.

The windows in the Hospital Ward were wide open, but there was still a faint smell in the air.

A very strange smell, different from the usual smell of disinfectant in a hospital.

"Where is Zichen, where is my son?" She pulled off the quilt to get out of bed, but her feet hit the hard floor as if stepping on cotton, and she collapsed softly.

Sheng Hanyu caught her: "Xuanxuan, don't be anxious, the child will definitely be found."

Shi Youxuan:...

What did he mean?

What did he mean by the child will definitely be found? Was he saying Zichen was lost?

"No!"

She lunged toward the small bed; the small bed was empty, there was nothing there.

Zichen's little quilt remained in the state of being pushed aside; the child was gone!

Shi Youxuan's brain was "buzzing"; there seemed to be people talking all around, but she couldn't hear a single word of what they were saying.

She only had one thought now—to find her son immediately.

Her feet were still very soft, and her head was still not clear.

Shi Youxuan stumbled toward the outside, and Sheng Hanyu pulled her into his arms: "Xuanxuan, you can't go out; your health is what matters."

Jin Wan'er and Ma Ling'er came in from outside; everyone had just found out and immediately came to help.

The first person to discover the child was missing was Wang Yinghao; she had gone to deliver millet porridge to Jian Yixin, and upon returning, she found Fang Jie collapsed on the floor. There was a pungent smell in the air, similar to alcohol but not quite; in any case, as soon as she entered, she felt lightheaded.

She felt that something was wrong, covered her nose and mouth, and went in to see the child was gone; her soul was almost scared out of her.

Wang Yinghao hurriedly ran out, screaming and calling her son.

Sheng Hanyu arrived quickly and in time; she saw her son and only then did she collapse, crying loudly!

Fang Jie slowly woke up and soon let out cries as well, weeping together with Wang Yinghao, blaming herself terribly.

One hour after Shi Youxuan went to sleep, Fang Jie came over to deliver food.

It happened to be millet porridge and boiled eggs.

Wang Yinghao used another clean bowl to pack some and sent it to Jian Yixin.

Fang Jie waited in the outer room for Shi Youxuan to wake up and eat.

During this time, the child woke up once, not because he was hungry, but because he had wet himself.

After changing the child's diaper, Zichen fell asleep again.

Fang Jie had just arrived in the outer room when she smelled a strange odor in the air, and then she knew nothing more!

Wang Yinghao was in Jian Yixin's Hospital Ward, receiving a warm welcome from Lady Jian, who held her hand and wouldn't let her leave, continuously expressing her gratitude.

She was thin-skinned by nature and found it hard to refuse such hospitality, so she stayed a little longer.

Later, worried about the child, she returned, only to find that the child was gone!

……

Hospital Monitoring Room.

Jian Yining had the Security Guard pull up the surveillance footage to examine it in detail.

The hospital's surveillance was basically twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty degrees without blind spots, capable of capturing every corner of the hospital's public areas.

But they found nothing unusual.

During the time the child disappeared, apart from their own people, no one had entered and no one had left!

Those who had entered the Hospital Ward today, besides Shi Youxuan, Wang Yinghao, and Zhu Jie.

Were just the few people who brought her back: Sheng Zerong, Jian Yining, Jin Wan'er, and Ma Ling'er.

None of these people could have stolen the child.

But other than them, the surveillance showed no one else had entered.

Sheng Zichen was a child who had only been born two days ago; could he have flown away on his own?

Jian Yining was incredibly anxious; if the child were lost and could not be found, their Jian Family would be unable to shirk the blame!

"Have the police arrived yet? Go and urge them." Jian Yining urged the hospital president.

The president hesitated: "Chairman, such a serious matter happening in our hospital—if the police come, the matter won't be able to be kept quiet, and it will affect the hospital's reputation..."

Jian Yining shot him a sidelong glance.

The president immediately shuddered.

This gaze was too terrifying, cold as a blade.

"I'll go urge them immediately." He reacted quite quickly and hurried out.

At a time like this, he was thinking not of finding the child as quickly as possible, but of the hospital's reputation?

On the surface, the president was thinking for the sake of the hospital, but Jian Yining did not need such narrow-minded, bottomless "consideration."

"Whoever among you can be the first to find a clue will be rewarded with a year's salary."

The people in the Monitoring Room answered in unison, and everyone immediately focused their full attention on the surveillance to find the problem.

"Chairman, look here."

The head of the hospital security department pointed to the time at the bottom of the surveillance: "Here and here, the time in these two places has been altered."

Jian Yining looked carefully, and it really was the case.

The first time, the time jumped by two seconds.

The later time was slightly longer, but it was no more than twenty-some seconds.

Although it added up to less than half a minute in total, this half-minute must have been the time when the child was stolen!

He immediately called Sheng Hanyu to tell him about this.

"I'm coming right away."

Sheng Hanyu hung up the phone, told his wife there was a major discovery in the Monitoring Room, asked her to wait in the Hospital Ward and stay calm, and then prepared to leave.

"I'm going with you."

At a time like this, how could she possibly stay calm?
