When Ye Yining's car drove into the residential area, Mu Xizhi was already waiting downstairs.
Mu Xizhi didn't even have time to ask why Ye Yining took half an hour to travel a journey that usually only takes fifteen minutes. Before she could even open the car door, she heard Ye Yining get out of the car and lock the door with the central locking system.
"Call your husband and ask him where Gu Zekai's villa is!"
Ye Yining didn't waste any more words and simply tossed the phone to Mu Xizhi.
"Call Zhiyuan to ask about Gu Zekai's villa? Could it be that Shengxia is with Gu Zekai?" Mu Xizhi wasn't stupid, and she naturally connected the dots.
She frantically dialed Wen Zhiyuan's number, but the line was always busy.
"Why did Gu Zekai take Sheng Xia away? And what about the child last time? How much did you and Sheng Xia hide from me?!"
Mu Xizhi was even more anxious when she couldn't get through on the phone. Adding to the fact that Sheng Xia had kept her pregnancy a secret from her last time, Mu Xizhi couldn't help but speak with a sour voice, tears streaming down her face.
"Xizhi, it's not that I wanted to hide Shengxia's pregnancy from you, but even I don't know much about it."
Ye Yining rubbed her forehead, leaning against the car door with a solemn expression.
"Then you must know who the child's father is!" Mu Xizhi's eyes welled up with tears, her voice choked with emotion.
Ye Yining paused.
It took him a long time to raise his head and look into Mu Xizhi's eyes.
"Gu Zekai—" After an unknown amount of time, she finally revealed the answer.

"So it really was you who took that girl from the Lin family away!" Gu Hongwen's powerful voice echoed throughout the large room.
Gu Zekai frowned, wondering why his grandfather had come here.
"Grandpa, I'll handle this!" Gu Zekai stepped forward, intending to block the view inside, but Gu Hongwen wasn't so easily fooled. He immediately noticed the bloodstains on Lin Shengxia's chest.
"Do you know how big of a mess you've gotten yourself into?! The whole world is looking for Lin Shengxia now, this is kidnapping, don't you understand?!"
Gu Hongwen slammed his cane heavily on the floor, making a loud noise.
While Gu Zekai was still in shock, Gu Hongwen turned around and walked towards Lin Shengxia, his eyes fixed on the surgical supplies.
The doubts that had been lingering in my mind became increasingly clear, and then—
Gu Hongwen was suddenly alarmed.
Lin Shengxia, gripping the scalpel tightly in her hand, slowly raised her head to meet his gaze. Her pale face was expressionless, but her resolute demeanor was something even an old man like him could not ignore!
"You bastard, do you want to cause someone's death?!" Gu Hongwen's authoritative tone made Gu Zekai's eyes turn cold.
"Grandpa Gu, I didn't expect to see you again so soon!"
On the contrary, Lin Shengxia greeted everyone in a generous and natural manner, just as she always was, except for the weakness in her voice.
Gu Hongwen's face was very ugly. Ever since he saw the news about Lin Shengxia's disappearance, he had a strange feeling that this matter was related to his grandson.
Unexpectedly, it was Gu Zekai who did such a foolish thing!
"If you don't come, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect the Gu family's great-grandson!" A cold sentence completely shattered the surface calm.
The veins on Gu Zekai's forehead bulged, trembling as he suppressed his anger.
The air froze instantly—
