âHeâs missing,â Grandpa Ji said sadly. âNone of us can contact him.â
Ye Shenggeâs hands started to tremble. Her eyes were red, and she couldnât stand straight. However, she held on at the thought of the fetuses in her womb.
âWhat⦠happened?â She asked with a hoarse voice as she stared at Grandpa Ji.
âCome sit here first.â Grandpa Ji whimpered. He wiped his face. âDonât be afraid. We just lost contact. Perhaps itâs just inconvenient for him to contact us.â
Ye Shengge nodded and sat on the sofa with the help of the servants.
She then handed her a cup of hot water.
âJing Zhiyuan has a complicated background. We cant get rid of him just by collecting evidence of his crimes,â Grandpa Ji said slowly. âSo, Shiting contacted Jing Zhiyuanâs arch-enemies and reached an agreement with them. After the evidence was submitted, Jing Zhiyuan was investigated immediately. His actions were all carried out in secret, and Jing Zhiyuan didnât notice it at all, so he wasnât bothered even when he knew that someone had reported him. If it werenât for that, Jing Zhiyuan wouldnât have been caught so easily.â
Ye Shengge clenched the cup in her hand and stared into space without saying anything.
âAfter Jing Zhiyuan was arrested, he didnât contact me again. I gradually realized that something was wrong, so I sent people to investigate. In the end, I found his car in a river in Li City. Someone had obviously tampered with the car. There should have been an accident on the way back to Yang City. I was worried that someone would take revenge on him, but I didnât expect him to have been discovered even though he was so carefulâ¦â
Ye Shengge suddenly felt suffocated. âShitingâ¦â
âFortunately, he wasnât in the car or in the river,â Grandpa Ji said. âI found Sun Yeâs whereabouts. He was sent to a nearby hospital, but heâs still unconscious.â
Ye Shengge bit her lips and closed her eyes. âI understand. Iâm waiting for Sun Ye to wake up.â
Grandpa Ji saw her pale face and said, âI didnât dare to tell you because Iâm afraid you wonât be able to take it but youâre much calmer than I imagined so Iâm relieved.â
He had been worried that Ye Shengge would have a miscarriage after hearing the news. After all, the fetuses only six months old, and the pregnancy wasnât that stable yet.
Fortunately, she wasnât as weak as he thought.
âShiting is just missing. I believe heâll be fine,â Ye Shengge said. âHe wonât bear to leave me and the children behind.â
âIâm very happy that you think so.â Grandpa Ji nodded, but his voice was sad and weak. âIâll inform you immediately if I have any news.â
When he was young, he was also a determined person, but as he got older, he became more and more trusting of fate, and he was more and more afraid of parting with life and death. He had already experienced the loss of his child, and he didnât want to experience it a second time. Besides, Shiting was still young, and he hadnât even seen his unborn children.
Grandpa Jiâs heart ached. He wondered if the Ji family was cursed. Was it because he had lived too long and jinxed his grandsonâs fate? If Ji Shiting could return, he would be willing to pass away immediately.
âOkay, take care too.â Ye Shengge looked at him seriously. âGrandpa, you have to support the company before Shiting comes back. Donât fall.â
