Chapter 743: Chapter 743

Yebai immediately felt displeased: had Gu Jinrong actually pretended to be pitiful just to please Little Pudding?

Gu Nuan stretched out her hand, took hold of Little Pudding’s, and walked up to Yebai, "If you’re not leaving, shall we go?"

"Let’s go, let’s go, of course." Xiao Yebai immediately dropped the pretentious newspaper and stood up. Turning around, and upon seeing Little Pudding holding Gu Jinrong’s hand, he suddenly realized a terrifying problem.

Is this what it’s like after you have kids?

The wife’s hand is going to be occupied by the child!

"I’ll carry him," Yebai said, and without waiting for objections from Little Pudding, who didn’t even have the time to offer an opinion, he lifted him up.

Little Pudding was stunned; at his age, he was actually well beyond the age when people frequently carried him around.

What was up with this uncle?

After Yebai picked up the child, he instantly felt more relaxed. Seeing that his wife could now hold his hand, the corners of his mouth turned up as he said, "Hold on to me."

What was the little buddy talking about? Was he afraid she would get lost?

Gu Jinrong glared at him and said, "Mind your business. You’re holding a child, watch the road."

Yebai, who had never been a dad before, had started learning how to hold a child.

All the way down the road, Yebai couldn’t help but grumble, "Such a hassle—"

The hassle was your idea too. Gu Jinrong was unbothered, remembering who had bullied and tempted her in bed, claiming that having a child had many benefits.

Indeed, Yebai hadn’t thought about all these details.

The couple casually hailed a taxi and went back to their small apartment with Zhao Mengqing first.

At that time, Xiao’s grandmother had not yet received definite news of their return because they came back in batches.

Speaking of Yao’s sister, as an employee, of course, the boss had to leave before she could. Therefore, she called home first to let her family know she was coming back.

Yao’s sister’s husband was similarly a corporate white-collar worker, often on business trips. Hearing that she was coming back, he hurriedly expressed his approval, mentioning their mother at home had almost lost control of the children.

Yao’s sister’s son, nicknamed Guigui.

He was in the third grade of elementary school and had recently become obsessed with playing marbles.

Conveniently, along the road between his school and their house, several arcade halls had opened. Inside, there were many marble game machines.

Guigui’s obsession with arcade machines was unknown to Yao’s sister.

To speak of how Yao’s family suddenly found out about this, it’s necessary to mention Tang Qingzhong, the Donald Duck.

Because Yao’s sister was on a business trip and worried about her son, she discussed this issue with Fang Yongxing. As an old friend, Fang Yongxing, who also had children, knew the serious consequences once a child started picking up bad habits. Therefore, he arranged for Tang Qingzhong to secretly ensure Guigui’s safety to and from school.

Tang Qingzhong didn’t question Fang Yongxing’s orders, as the company wasn’t very busy at the moment, allowing him to leave early under the pretext of discussing business without clocking out.

Seizing this opportunity, Tang Qingzhong waited outside Guigui’s school, biding his time.

After a few days of surveillance, Tang Qingzhong suddenly discovered that Guigui’s visits to the arcade weren’t just a recent or occasional occurrence.

More alarmingly, unlike other children who, due to limited pocket money from their parents, could only watch adults play and could play only briefly themselves, Guigui would enter the arcade and start playing confidently with handfuls of Game Coins, as if performing magic tricks with them appearing from his backpack.

Game Coins needed to be purchased with money. Where was Guigui getting the money to buy these Game Coins?

Guigui couldn’t earn money himself; it had to be given to him by someone else, an adult.

Yao’s sister was definitely not the type to spoil her child excessively; she had rules, so she surely wouldn’t give Guigui the chance to buy Game Coins.

There were no reports from Yao’s family about Guigui stealing money from home. Additionally, Yao’s family wouldn’t have that much cash on hand for Guigui to steal for playing arcades.

A cloud of doubts exploded in Tang Qingzhong’s mind when he suddenly realized: someone was targeting Yao’s sister’s son!

Kidnapping the child?

Yao’s family didn’t have much money. Why target Guigui specifically? Get full chapters from NovєlFіre.net

Tang Qingzhong felt increasingly uneasy and anxious.

Just then, on the day Yao’s sister flew back, Guigui knew his mother was coming home and didn’t dare linger too long at the arcade, planning to head home early.

At that moment, several grown men appeared in the arcade, surrounding Guigui, preventing him from leaving.

Seeing the situation turn grim, Tang Qingzhong intended to get out of the car to rescue the child, but upon checking the rearview mirror, he noticed several suspicious figures near the road watching his car.

He looked back, only to see Guigui disappearing inside the arcade. Things were looking bad. He hit the gas, escaping to Fang Yongxing’s place to report.

Hearing that Yao’s sister’s son might have been kidnapped, Fang Yongxing’s face darkened as he prepared to get out of bed.

His wife quickly grabbed him, along with Tang Qingzhong, blocking his limping leg from getting out of bed, "Call the police! What can you do with that lame leg?"

The wife spoke truth, but calling the police was definitely not an option. Once they alerted the police, those men might harm the child, for they were ruthless criminals with nothing to fear.

Fang Yongxing took a deep breath and said, "Let’s call Gu Nuan."
