Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Smash the Egg?
The egg had not yet hatched.
But both Lin Ranyue and Gu Lei firmly believed that the baby inside was a little girl!
The couple would not accept any objections!
Listening to her mother’s anxious voice, Su Wan said, "Mom, don’t panic, take it slow and tell me what exactly happened."
"Today, Su Zhen came over. He was here to talk to me about Su Yun. I didn’t want to talk to him about that, so I sent him away. But for some reason, lots of insects suddenly appeared in the garden, and I quickly had to get the domestic robots to chase them away."
"By the time I came to my senses and checked the baby room, the egg was gone!"
"It must have been Su Zhen who took the egg! It must have been!"
Su Wan asked, "What about your home surveillance?"
Lin Ranyue: "Nothing, the surveillance only captured Su Zhen leaving through the front gate while I was dealing with the insects. He didn’t have anything in his hands, but my intuition tells me it was definitely him!"
This matter was mysterious from beginning to end.
Lin Ranyue was very distressed, "Now, Gu Lei has gone to find Su Zhen, but I’m truly worried. Your sister isn’t full-term yet, and if the egg breaks at this time..."
The child would be gone!
Su Wan also felt that her little sister had a fate full of hardships.
Last time, her mother nearly gave birth prematurely, but because it was an egg, she narrowly escaped disaster.
And now, it was stolen?
Su Wan said to her mother, "Mom, don’t worry, I’ll come over and keep you company. Then I’ll also have Ajue help out, and we’ll look for the child together."
"Uh-huh."
After ending the call, Su Wan went to the basement’s Mecha Room to find Gu Jue and recounted what had happened.
Gu Jue asked, "How long ago did this happen?"
Su Wan: "About half an hour has passed since my mother discovered the child was missing."
Gu Jue: "Then they haven’t left the main star yet. I’ll have someone lock down the port. You go and be with your mother, and I’ll send people to assist Gu Lei in the search for the child."
Su Wan nodded.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Jue said, "Have your mother come to our house, and I’ll have someone thoroughly search their house to find out why the insects appeared."
According to Lin Ranyue’s description, these insects should be the weakest, soft-bodied ones.
But these insects shouldn’t exist on the main star.
Su Wan was startled and said, "Ajue, didn’t you say before that the Star Thief was colluding with the Insect Clan? Are you suggesting that the appearance of insects at my mom’s house could also be related to them?"
"But why would they target the child of my mother and Director Gu?"
"Don’t panic, just wait for the investigation results."
Su Wan then steadied her mind and, as Gu Jue had said, went to her mother’s house and took her distressed mother back with her.
Lin Ranyue had barely recovered from her earlier premature labor, only to face the incident of her child being lost.
She looked utterly exhausted.
She wanted to cry but held back the tears.
Seeing this made Su Wan’s heart ache, "Mom, you sit for a while, I’ll make you some sweet and sticky double-skin milk."
Lin Ranyue nodded listlessly.
Su Wan first went to the children’s room and said to the recently awakened wolf-eared baby, "Xiaochen, your little aunt is missing, and grandma is upset. Mommy is going to make something tasty for her. Can you go and keep grandma company for a while?"
Little Gu Chen immediately widened his eyes, "The egg, it’s gone?"
Su Wan nodded, "But your daddy has also sent people out to help look for it, we’re sure to find it."
"Uh-huh! Stay with grandma!"
Su Wan ruffled her son’s soft hair and then carried the little guy downstairs.
Lin Ranyue sat there, her face filled with anxiety, intermittently checking her brain-computer interface, her entire being as if her soul had been drained away.
Su Wan was also a mother and, imagining for a moment, if Xiaochen went missing, she reckoned she would go insane!
Thus, she felt even sorrier for Lin Ranyue.
"Grandma! Hug!"
Little Gu Chen had just been placed on the sofa by his mother when he crawled over to Lin Ranyue and reached out his little hands towards her.
Watching her soft and mushy grandson, Lin Ranyue finally snapped out of it a bit and stretched out her arms to hug him.
Little Gu Chen, like a little adult, patted Lin Ranyue on the shoulder, "Eggie, come back."
Lin Ranyue sniffled, nodding forcefully, "Yes, we’ll definitely find it!"
**
At this moment, inside a cramped apartment, Su Zhen watched the scene before him in shock.
His lips quivered as he said, "Weiwei, what are you doing!"
With a changed face, Du Weiwei was holding a vase in her hand, gesturing how to smash open that egg.
She sneered, "Aren’t you obsessed with Lin Ranyue? This is her child with Gu Lei. If this child dies, Lin Ranyue and Gu Lei will be devastated. Wouldn’t that make you happy?"
Su Zhen shook his head vehemently, "The happiest thing for me is for Ranyue to come back to me! It’s not about killing this child!"
Even if he was foolish, he knew that if they smashed the egg right now, the child would surely be doomed!
Su Zhen indeed disliked the child because, after all, it was Ranyue’s child with another man!
But he never had the monstrous heart to kill an innocent child!
Du Weiwei: "Su Zhen, I’m giving you two choices. First, you can take this egg back to Lin Ranyue, and wait for her condemnation and for Gu Lei to beat you to death."
"Second, you can take this vase and smash this egg to pieces! And then I’ll help you destroy all the evidence, so no one will know what you’ve done!"
Upon hearing this, Su Zhen stumbled back two steps.
He shook his head, his face ashen, "No, the egg was stolen by you guys, it has nothing to do with me! I won’t smash this egg!"
Du Weiwei: "I’ve had someone erase the surveillance records. Lin Ranyue only knows that you went in, and didn’t see us."
"Su Zhen, you have no choice. Unless you want to go straight to Interstellar Prison!"
Su Zhen’s face turned deathly pale.
No no no, he definitely didn’t want to rot in Interstellar Prison!
He hadn’t remarried Ranyue yet!
Su Zhen shakily took the vase, but as he lifted it up, he hesitated for a long time before smashing it down.
Du Weiwei continued to tempt him: "Don’t you love Lin Ranyue? This is her child with another man. Don’t you despise this child?"
"If he ceases to exist, then Lin Ranyue would have only ever given birth to your child."
"Or do you want to see Lin Ranyue, Gu Lei, and this child, living happily as a family of three?"
"In that case, Lin Ranyue will never return to you!"
A chilling light flashed in Su Zhen’s eyes, and veins throbbed on his forehead!
"Ranyue can only be mine!"
He lifted the vase and smashed it down hard!
And Du Weiwei’s lips curled upwards as she picked up the photon brain and recorded the scene.
Later, she could send the complete video to Lin Ranyue.
This was Du Weiwei’s joint revenge against both Su Zhen and Lin Ranyue!
But then...
The vase shattered, yet the egg remained unscathed?
Du Weiwei was stunned, "How is that possible?!"
