Chapter 429: Chapter 429: This Is a Carefully Laid Trap
"Why did you come back so late?" Ji Hanyu was holding the car keys, ready to pick up Bai Haoxue.
Bai Haoxue had already come in, carrying a large storage box.
Ji Hanyu quickly took the box from her. "What is this?"
"My dad’s belongings."
"Didn’t you say that Bai Xiongan’s family renewed everything from your house?"
Except for the things Bai Youran took to use as a ’pass’ for Snowfield Manor, everything else was thrown away by Bai Xiongan’s family.
Even the villa was remodeled.
A typical sign of a guilty conscience.
"Today, I ran into one of my dad’s colleagues on set. He had been keeping my dad’s things left at school, and I went to get them back."
Bai Haoxue opened the box. "Hopefully, there are some clues inside."
Inside the box were his father’s used mug, pen, briefcase, and several work notebooks.
Bai Haoxue took out a notebook and opened it, then handed one to Ji Hanxing. The two exchanged a glance, and Bai Haoxue smiled.
Because it was completely unintelligible.
Bai Haoxue joked, "Mr. Ji, aren’t you a genius? Come, explain it to me."
Ji Hanyu calmly replied, "Every profession has its specialization."
Bai Haoxue: "..."
This excuse really made him sound like a fake genius.
"Xiao Bei will be interested in these. When he returns, we’ll give them to him."
"What’s Xiao Bei doing? When will he be back?" Bai Haoxue’s mood was still anxious at this moment.
"He said he was going on vacation, but he’s actually on a business trip, attending a medical conference."
Ji Hanyu pinched Bai Haoxue’s cheek, "Don’t worry, he’ll be back soon, definitely before the virus in me acts up."
"I know you desperately want to find the child, and I do too.
However, it’s clear this is a meticulously planned setup, and we need to be mentally prepared for a long battle."
Ji Hanyu said, "We don’t know what the person who set up this trap wants, or who he is. What role did your father play in this? These are the things we need to unravel one by one.
Only by figuring these out can we find our child."
Right now, they are just guessing, just hoping the child is still alive.
But what if...
Yet, if the child is alive, without any leads, where do they start in such a big world?
Bai Haoxue hugged Ji Hanyu tightly, "I know, but I can’t hold back. I’m even afraid to think about the child now.
His body already has a dormant virus. What if it acts up? He’s so young.
Or where is he living now? Will the people raising him treat him well? What if they torture him?"
That person is definitely their enemy. How could they possibly treat their child well under such circumstances?
Ji Hanyu worried and feared the same things, but as a man and the head of the house, he had to remain rational.
She could be anxious and fragile, but he could not. He had to be her support.
Ji Hanyu patted Bai Haoxue’s back, comforting her, "The people we sent out to look have left. You need to relax a bit now. At least, we have hope; the child is not dead, and that’s the greatest fortune."
"Mm!" Bai Haoxue nodded. If she were alone, she would remain calm and rational.
But now she had him, and she couldn’t help but reveal her vulnerability...
