nWhen Yun Shishi reached the hospital, it was already past midnight.

nMaybe, it was because she had not slept a wink for a night that, as she was tidying the washed clothes, she dozed off on the sofa.

nIn the end, she was woken up by Qin Zhou’s call.

n“Remember to turn up at Huanyu for the contract signing next Monday! Shishi, congratulations on your contract with our agency; this is your first step to a successful career!”

nHe called to remind her that she had an appointment at Huanyu Entertainment that upcoming Monday.

nShe hung up the phone once their talk ended and looked out the window. It was pouring outside.

nShe could not help feeling dazed.

nShe had really entered the entertainment industry. Would her career advance smoothly from here on?

nShe rushed to the hospital. As she hurriedly pushed open the door to the hospital room, she was taken aback by the extravagance of the special care unit.

nInside the waiting area, Youyou was sitting in Yun Yecheng’s arms and aimlessly flipping through the comics the latter had bought for him.

nIt was sheer boredom that got him flipping through a comic book he would hardly touch on other days. Barefoot, he plunged headlong into her arms the moment he saw her.

n“Mommy, you’re here finally! I thought you’re going to leave Youyou alone again!”

n“Why would I do that?” She reached out her hand and gently ruffled his hair. Her heart settled when she saw that colors had returned on his wan face.

nShe gave him a smile and asked, “Has Youyou eaten yet?”

n“I did. If Youyou had to wait for stupid mommy to send the food over, Youyou would evaporate into steam from hunger!” he complained and then pouted.

nIt was a grumbling tone.

nShe did not know whether to laugh or cry at his words. “You’ve learned a new descriptive phrase, huh; did your principal teach you that, too?”

nCough! “Youyou has a good mother for a teacher,” Li Hanlin, who was standing at the side, awkwardly commented.

nYouyou heard this and coolly added, “My mommy neither supervises my homework nor sends me to any enrichment classes.”

nBasically, she held a laissez-faire approach to his education. She did not want to add unnecessary pressure on him as she believed he should enjoy his childhood properly.

nYun Yecheng made a call to Li Qin, which the latter did not pick up.

nWhen he went over to Yun Na’s ward, the two were already gone.

nSomehow, he could not reach either of them, as if they had disappeared into thin air.

nHe did not pursue the matter further despite his suspicion.

n…

nA van was speeding on the road in the middle of the night.

nInside the pitch-black interior, Yun Na slowly regained consciousness. A sharp pain shot through her body the moment she opened her eyes and recalled what had happened earlier.

nLi Dongqiang forcibly took her from the hospital and tied her up along with her mother before dumping them inside this speeding van.

nShe put up a fierce struggle and tearfully begged for mercy. She could never have imagined herself ending up in such a dire state; great fear took hold of her.

nWhat happened… How did this happen?

nHow did that Yun Tianyou turn out to be so capable? He was only six years old. How could he be so unconscientious at such a young age?

nShe remembered that man in a suit respectfully addressing him as ‘Director Yun’.

nDirector Yun? At that young age?

nShe could not make head or tail of this entire affair.

nLi Dongqiang had knocked her out cold with a blow on the head when she cried and resisted. She recalled darkness descending on her and then she blacked out right after.

nWhen she came to, she was in this enclosed space with no ventilation. It was hot and stuffy. She wanted to scream for help and found that she was duct-taped. Other than whimpering, she could not form a sound.

nAfter some struggling, she finally managed to sit up, and this was when she felt something soft at her feet.
