Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 365 Love between grandparents and grandchildren

Qin Shi pushed open the car door, and his gaze was immediately drawn to the figure in front of him. Almost subconsciously, he quickened his pace and walked towards the woman.

The woman wore a black helmet that covered most of her face. Only when the footsteps behind her grew closer did she slowly turn around and look at Qin Shi.

Their eyes met, Qin Shi's pupils contracted slightly, and he blurted out, "You?"

"Sir, are you here to pick up your child too?"

The woman spoke first, her voice deliberately hoarse. Qin Shi was startled; this wasn't Yan Lan's voice.

But the figure of the person in front of me, even the way they turned around, was so similar to Yan Lan in my memory...

"Sorry, I got the wrong person."

Just as he was about to ask something, his phone suddenly started vibrating wildly in his pocket. The three characters "Bai Xiaoyu" kept flashing on the screen; it was already the fifth missed call.

Qin Shi didn't linger any longer and hurriedly turned around to walk towards his car.

Watching his figure disappear beside the car, Yan Lan quietly clenched her fists under her helmet.

She took a deep breath and pressed her finger on the inside of her helmet; the indicator light on the miniature voice changer immediately went out. Since the "prison network" incident a few years ago, caution had become an ingrained habit in her, and she never took off her voice changer or mask.

Without time to ponder why Qin Shi was here, Yan Lan quickly took out her phone and opened a mini-program.

Within seconds, traffic camera footage from the surrounding area was transmitted to the screen.

Soon, the image of Bai Xiaoyu forcibly dragging Xiao Yan into the car came into view, and a surge of anger instantly ignited in her chest: It really is Bai Xiaoyu!

It seems that Bai Xiaoyu's son attends this school.

It’s really a narrow road between enemies.

Yan Lan forced herself to calm down and followed the traffic flow to track Bai Xiaoyu's car. The relevant surveillance footage was quickly pieced together.

When she saw Xiao Yan sneak off the car before Qin Shi arrived, taking advantage of Bai Xiaoyu's inattention, her heart, which had just been half relieved, tightened again the next second.

"Oh no, it's a blind spot in the surveillance!"

On the screen, seemingly to avoid Bai Xiaoyu, Xiao Yan got out of the car and quickly ran towards an alleyway without any cameras.

Since then, he has never appeared in any of the nearby surveillance cameras again.

A full half hour had passed since Xiao Yan got off the bus.

Just then, Han Yan called. She had been waiting at home for the mother and son to come home for dinner, but they hadn't returned yet, and her voice was full of anxiety: "Where's Chaochao? Why isn't he back yet?"

"Chaochao... is gone." Yan Lan's voice trembled uncontrollably.

"What?!" Han Yan's voice suddenly rose in shock, completely unexpected that her godson would have such a thing happen on his first day of school.

She didn't even have time to put on her coat properly before grabbing her car keys and rushing over here.

After the two met, they immediately launched a thorough search of the area where Xiao Yanchao went missing.

From dusk till late at night, the flashlight beam swept through every alley and every corner, but the small figure was nowhere to be seen.

Unbeknownst to them, shortly after Xiao Yanchao turned into the alley, a black limousine slowly drove past on the street.

In the back seat, the governor, who had just finished a foreign affairs visit, raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, his eyes full of fatigue.

"Chief, you don't look well. Should we arrange for you to go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow?"

The secretary in the co-pilot's seat turned around, her voice filled with worry. In recent years, the governor's workload had become increasingly heavy, and his health had deteriorated significantly, yet he never seemed to take the time to properly recuperate.

The governor waved his hand, his voice slightly hoarse: "I know my own body."

As he spoke, his gaze unconsciously drifted out the car window.

The streets were bustling with traffic under the neon lights, and the slightly forlorn profile of the governor was faintly reflected in the spotless car window.

Since Yan Yatou left Singapore all those years ago, no doctor has been able to give him a good night's sleep.

The governor felt a pang of sadness whenever he thought of Yan Lan.

He and Yan Yatou hit it off immediately when they first met, but due to his status, he couldn't say many things to show his care openly. He could only keep an eye on her situation from the shadows.

He never expected that the girl would encounter so many things in just a few days.

Yan Yatou not only got divorced, but also gave birth prematurely and endured so much suffering on her own.

Thinking of these things, the governor unconsciously clenched his hands on his knees, and his face gradually darkened.

That brat Qin Shi made Yan suffer so much injustice back then.

He would never let this go; he was determined to make that kid pay the price.

Just then, the car passed through an alley, and as it was about to drive past the alley entrance, a small figure suddenly rushed out of the alley.

"parking!"

The governor gave a low shout, and the driver quickly stepped on the brakes, stopping the car at the alley entrance.

Xiao Yan stumbled and nearly crashed straight into the front of the car.

A few fierce barks came from inside the alley. He glanced back, then gripped his sleeve and took two steps back.

It was a child, and a stray dog ​​was chasing after him?

A stray dog ​​darted out of the alley. Instead of panicking and crying, he immediately took out his Little Genius watch, turned on the brightest light, and waved it at the stray dog, scaring it away.

But then the watch screen went completely dark. He raised his hand and patted the watch face, his little brows furrowing: "Oh no, the battery's completely dead. Mom won't be able to contact me."

The governor in the back seat saw this scene clearly and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

The child remained completely calm. An ordinary child would have been terrified and crying loudly if he encountered a stray dog, but he was able to think of using his watch to save himself, showing a composure beyond his years.

As the governor was thinking, he saw the child's legs suddenly give way and he fell to the ground with a thud.

The governor's heart felt like it had been tugged by something, a sudden pain shot through him. Before his secretary could get out of the car, he pushed open the door, strode over, and picked him up.

"Little friend, are you alright?" The governor's voice softened unconsciously.

Xiao Yan shook her head, her little hand still clutching the watch that had run out of battery, her voice soft but without a hint of crying: "I'm hungry... I have no strength left."

He was already physically weak, and was prone to dizziness and weakness when he suffered from low blood sugar. He had used up some energy fighting off the stray dogs, and now that he was hungry, he could barely stand and even felt a little dizzy.

Xiao Yanchao lay listlessly in the governor's arms.

"Chief, should we call the police?"

The secretary was startled and quickly got out of the car to take the little boy from Zhou Chang's hands.

To everyone's surprise, the seemingly indifferent governor looked down at the little boy in his arms, and a rare look of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

The governor waved his hand.

"I think he just has low blood sugar. We can take him home to see a family doctor."

With that, the governor carried Xiao Yan into the car.
