Facing the girl's intense stare, Ye Chenhan realized he had been tricked. He knew little about the situation but was assigned to watch the children.
As Nuannuan handed him another baby, Ye Chenhan felt overwhelmed.
"Heavens, why am I here!"
Meanwhile, in the president's office, Ye Ziyu stood before Chen Han, listening to his account of the truth.
"Besides phone calls, have you not seen her anywhere else?" Ye Ziyu pressed.
After jumping into the sea last time, Jiang Feifei had vanished without a trace, as if she had evaporated. Attempts to find her discreetly had yielded no results.
This time, no matter what, she had to be brought out of hiding.
Chen Han glanced at Di Mingjue beside him and re-closed his mouth.
"If I allow you to leave here, do you think she will spare your life once you're out?" Di Mingjue said.
Jiang Feifei, fueled by a bit of jealousy, could resent Ye Ziyu for a lifetime and would never let her go. Moreover, now that he had been caught after his plan failed, would the sinister and ruthless Jiang Feifei spare them, father and daughter?
His intention to conceal something vanished at that moment.
"She seems to be in a villa in the suburbs. I've delivered things to her," Chen Han confessed.
A villa in the suburbs?
How could she afford a villa with no resources?
Ye Ziyu pressed, "Are you telling the truth?"
"There's no benefit for me to lie to you. I just want to get rid of everything from my past, take my daughter, leave this place, and start a new life," Chen Han spoke from his heart.
Over the years, he had done many wrong things for quick money. Now that his daughter was older and at an age where she could discern right from wrong, he didn't want her to know his true character. Thus, he decided to wash his hands of his past for good this time and live a proper life, accompanying his child's growth.
He had felt this way about life once before, but his hypocrisy was too deep. The moment he stepped out of Di Jue Group, everything changed.
This time, whether it was out of concern that he might be deceiving them or to indirectly protect them, Di Mingjue arranged a place for them to stay and assigned people to guard them outside.
Upon obtaining the exact address, Di Mingjue personally drove to the location Chen Han had mentioned.
As evening fell, the sky gradually darkened. The dense branches blocked the moonlight, rendering everything invisible except for the areas illuminated by the car's headlights.
Ye Ziyu sat in the passenger seat, looking at her phone as the signal abruptly disappeared.
"Mingjue," Ye Ziyu sensed something was wrong.
Seeing what appeared to be a house in the distance, flickering in and out of view, Di Mingjue looked back at the tense Ye Ziyu. "What's wrong?"
"I feel uneasy. I have a feeling we've walked into a trap," Ye Ziyu clutched her chest, her gaze fixed on the approaching villa with unease.
A trap?
Di Mingjue didn't sense it. Shen Lin was currently guarding Chen Han and his daughter. Even if Chen Han was unwilling, he wouldn't dare to fool them lightly.
Stopping the car in front of the villa, Di Mingjue unbuckled his seatbelt and said to Ye Ziyu in the passenger seat, "Wait for me in the car. Don't come out."
"I'll go with you." Ye Ziyu had already unbuckled her seatbelt. Compared to sitting in the car, she felt more at ease following Di Mingjue.
Di Mingjue intertwined his fingers with her sweaty hand, and they slowly moved towards the villa.
Creak—
The iron gate in front of them swayed inward before they even touched it.
The situation ahead was unknown, and Ye Ziyu's heart was in her throat. She stayed close to Di Mingjue, her eyes darting around, guarding against anything dangerous that might fly out and harm him.
Di Mingjue pushed open the living room door. The interior was empty. After sweeping the beam of his flashlight around, he found the light switch.
Click!
The dark room was instantly illuminated.
As they walked further in, both of them noticed a cup on the coffee table.
