Chapter 746: Chapter 746
Little Pudding was, of course, somewhat nervous, turning his small face towards his aunt, a question written in his pair of clear little eyes.
"It’s okay, your uncle has to work to support his family, just like your dad," Gu Nuan told the child, smiling at the same time.
Little Pudding then breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps it was because of the blood relation, but like his sister, he really liked his uncle.
Who knows what complex feelings Big White would have if he knew that this little sheep had taken a liking to him.
Yao Sister’s plane was scheduled to arrive half a day later than theirs.
When Tang Qingzhong called, it was already evening.
After Gu Nuan and Little Pudding had a delayed lunch in the apartment around noon, they felt full. In the afternoon, she took Little Pudding and slept in the room for the entire afternoon, fully making up for the sleep they lacked due to the time difference from the flight.
When the phone vibrated, Gu Nuan woke up, reaching out her hand first feeling Little Pudding lying deeply asleep on the bed, and in her ears, she barely heard the sound of the child snoring.
This child, really resembled his Uncle Big White; even on his first day in a strange environment, he could sleep so well, as if he had no guard up at all.
Gu Nuan was truly in awe. What was it with this family? Did they all feel so safe around the Gu family?
She gently covered the child with a thin blanket again, as autumn had come, and the weather had turned slightly cooler.
Gu Nuan then put on another layer of clothing and tiptoed out of the room. In the living room, she did not see Mr. Big White.
She took out her phone and video called Tang Qingzhong.
Tang Qingzhong’s expression on the other end was a bit strange, saying, "The team leader asked me to call you."
Fang Yongxing next to Tang Qingzhong took over the phone and continued, "Yao Sister’s son, Guigui, might have been kidnapped. It seems that Guigui was behind this."
What was this? How had he not heard about it? Tang Qingzhong’s face showed surprise at once.
What was actually being referred to was the last time Gu Nuan got a storage disk from Yao Sister, handed over by Fang Yongxing. They discovered that someone had tampered with the storage disk. Considering how cautious Yao Sister was, it seemed unlikely that something would go wrong with the item in the company. The only possibility was that after Yao Sister returned home, the item was tampered with by someone in her family.
Yao Sister’s husband, who was often on business trips, was unlikely to commit the act at home. Moreover, he was engaged in technical work, working in a state-owned enterprise’s technical department, completely uninvolved with private business dealings, making a living off his technical skills. For someone to use Yao Sister’s husband as a point of attack was hard, definitely challenging!
Apart from Yao Sister’s husband, the only family member left at home was a mother-in-law, Yao Sister’s husband’s mother. Yao Sister’s mother-in-law, a retired worker, received a respectable pension and was also well-educated, making it equally difficult to trick her.
The only vulnerable point, the easiest to exploit, was definitely the child. Follow current novels on NoveIꜰire.net
It just so happened that Yao Sister’s son, Guigui, was at an age neither too small nor too big, the age most easily influenced and tempted by adults.
Guigui had a unique quality, he appeared very well-behaved and his grades were not bad. However, every child goes through a rebellious phase during adolescence, and excessively good children always harbor some desire to vent rebellious emotions. Just having someone lead him on was enough for Guigui to take the bait. For example, if someone took Guigui to an arcade and supplied him with some free Game Coins, the free and enjoyable aspects would quickly addict a child.
Knowing it was wrong, Guigui made sure to hide this from his parents and grandmother. As a result, Guigui had been hooked on gaming for many days without anyone in Yao Sister’s family knowing.
