Chapter 508: The Son is Lost

~8 min read 1,551 words

"Fine, let's go together." Sheng Hanyu had originally wanted to refuse, for the sake of Shi Youxuan's health.

But after thinking about it, even if he let her stay, it was impossible for her to rest properly, and she wouldn't recover well anyway, so it was better to go together.

Wang Yinghao had already fainted from crying several times, and Zhu Jie had almost jumped off the building!

She had already climbed onto the windowsill before being grabbed and pulled down by Ma Ling'er, who had quick eyes and fast hands.

Everyone was anxious because the child was missing, but jumping off a building wouldn't solve the fundamental problem.

The Hospital Ward was filled with gloom and misery; if Shi Youxuan stayed in such an environment, it would only add one more anxious person!

At the same time.

Sheng Hanyu's people had cast a net wide and far.

There were people checking every entrance and exit of the hospital, as well as the train station, bus station, and airport.

At every highway toll station and national road intersection, there were suddenly many more police officers looking for "wanted criminals."

Under such tight inspections, not even a fly could fly out of Jiangzhou for no reason!

Monitoring Room.

Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan arrived together, and Jian Yining did not feel surprised.

He had the two of them look at the surveillance footage, then concluded—the child definitely hadn't left the hospital and was still here.

The missing time on the footage was very close to the time Wang Yinghao returned.

In other words, although the surveillance didn't capture who took the child, Wang Yinghao returned right after Sheng Zichen was taken away by the villain!

It was a matter of moments.

The villain wouldn't have had time to escape before the hospital was already locked down.

This news was encouraging; Jian Yining had already dispatched personnel to continue strengthening the checks at every exit, and at the same time, he prepared to search every Hospital Ward.

However, since the child was in the villain's hands, he was also afraid that the villain might be driven to desperation and do something harmful to the child, so he asked for the two's opinions.

"Search."

The two spoke in unison, their opinions identical.

They couldn't just do nothing because they were afraid the villain might be driven to desperation.

For every extra minute Zichen was in the villain's hands, the danger would increase by one point.

Since everyone was in agreement, they decided to split up and take action.

The Hospital Ward doors were pushed open one by one.

Basically, the patients and their families were very cooperative, letting them go in to check.

Even the ICU and operating rooms were not spared, but after a thorough search, no clues were found.

Shi Youxuan stood in front of the monitors, able to see the search situation from various angles.

The police were searching in a tense and orderly manner, but her brows were tightly furrowed, and she suddenly said: "My son won't have gone very far; focus the search around my Hospital Ward."

Everyone looked at her.

Although no one said anything, their expressions were skeptical—the police couldn't handle it, so can you?

Shi Youxuan had already calmed down by this time; if one spoke of anxiety, she was actually more anxious than anyone.

But anxiety had no meaning; only by being calm could one make a relatively correct judgment.

She was very good at controlling her emotions and forced herself to calm down quickly, and thus she discovered a clue.

She pointed to the left side of her own Hospital Ward on the monitor and said: "The surveillance here is tight, and there are more people, so no need to check this side... the stairwell!" She suddenly raised her voice, then ran out first.

Everyone was stunned for a second, then suddenly enlightened, and they all followed.

A few meters to the right of Shi Youxuan's Hospital Ward was a stairwell.

The hospital's stairwell had surveillance, but there were also blind spots.

And the blind spot was a small utility room behind the stairwell door; usually, when the stairwell door was open, it blocked it, so no one would notice it at all.

The utility room had only a small door one meter high, and the space inside was less than two square meters in total. It was usually used to store brooms, mops, and the like; except for the cleaners, no one would notice this place.

Not only was it a surveillance blind spot, but it was also particularly easy to be overlooked.

Shi Youxuan took the lead and ran out.

Everyone followed behind.

She had just given birth and her physical strength hadn't recovered, but driven by the urgent desire to find her son, she ran very fast.

They arrived at the stairwell.

Shi Youxuan felt her heart "thumping" so fast it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.

Nervous, expectant.

She reached out with a tremble—"Let me."

Sheng Hanyu grabbed her arm and handed her over to Jin Wan'er.

His wife's nerves were pulled tight right now; others might not be able to tell, but he could.

If the son wasn't behind the door, he was afraid his wife would collapse!

"Okay!" Shi Youxuan agreed, her voice trembling.

Jin Wan'er held her shoulders, letting Shi Youxuan lean on her, using herself as support.

Shi Youxuan closed her eyes; she didn't dare to look, afraid of disappointment!

Her whole body was shaking like a sieve.

If he wasn't behind the door, or if Zichen was there, but... she didn't dare to think, and couldn't accept such a thing.

Sheng Hanyu closed the main door, revealing the small door behind it.

There was a padlock on the small door; the lock was not large but very new.

Someone immediately came up behind him, used pliers to snap the lock, and the small door was opened—a swaddled infant was shockingly placed right at the entrance!

……

Jiangzhou Central Hospital.

Pediatrics.

"Baobao, give us a smile!" Shi Youxuan teased Sheng Zichen.

"Giggle..."

The little fellow opened his toothless little mouth and smiled very brightly.

This smile made everyone feel at ease; there was nothing wrong with the child, and all indicators were normal after the examination.

The doctor said that as long as he could cry and laugh, he would be fine.

He could cry.

When Zichen had just woken up, his crying was so loud that even other departments could hear it.

Now that his laughing was also no problem, the family could finally put their anxious hearts back in their chests!

"Thank you, doctor, thank you, doctor, thank you so much..." Wang Yinghao held the doctor's hands with both of hers, speaking words of gratitude incessantly.

In fact, the doctor hadn't done much, only telling the family that although the child had been fed a sleeping pill and slept for a long time, the dosage was small and there would be no aftereffects.

Sheng Zichen had slept for an entire day.

Although a newborn child sleeps for over twenty hours a day, they do not sleep continuously.

The little fellow had been fed a sleeping pill.

Fortunately, the bad guys didn't have much time; they just hurriedly smeared it on Baobao's lips and put him in the utility room.

Then they were discovered, and the child was rescued.

From the moment Baobao went missing to the moment he was found, it was a total of forty minutes.

Being able to find the child so quickly was entirely due to Shi Youxuan; her calmness, rationality, and the composure she displayed at the critical moment left the police in awe.

The moment Baobao was found, however, Shi Youxuan collapsed.

Her legs went weak and she couldn't stand, collapsing limply onto the ground.

The two of them refused to undergo examinations at Jian Family Hospital; whether it was the child or the adults, they refused!

Of course, they didn't have any issues with the Jian siblings, but if there hadn't been someone inside the hospital this time, it would have been impossible to almost get Zichen taken out.

It really was just by a hair's breadth.

If they hadn't discovered it, or if they had gone to look further away.

The bad guys would have had every opportunity to spirit the child away without anyone knowing; the situation was very precarious. They hadn't felt it at the time, but thinking about it afterward, they were terrified.

Before the truth came to light and they found out who the mole hiding in the hospital was.

Neither Sheng Hanyu nor Shi Youxuan could entrust the child to Jian Family Hospital again; if someone were to tamper with him again, it would be too late to even cry.

The child was fine, and all of Shi Youxuan's symptoms vanished immediately along with Zichen's recovery.

Mother and son were both fine, so they returned home immediately.

They had originally planned to stay at a postpartum care center, but after such an incident, they weren't going anymore.

Being on someone else's turf, they ultimately couldn't feel at ease; it was better to return to their own home for postpartum recovery, as it was more reassuring and comfortable.
