Chapter 1502: Chapter 1503: Calling Li Shengxiao

"That’s how it should be, that’s how it should be." Chen Hai fumbled around on himself for his phone, quickly found it, and handed it to Rong Yan. With a throat thick with emotion, he said, "Miss Rong, thank you. I know I don’t deserve to say these words, and you don’t want to hear them either. But I’m truly grateful to you. Thank you. Rest assured, once Qiqi’s illness is cured, I will keep my word—I will go to the police station, confess to the officers everything I’ve done, and turn myself in. I should have done it already, but Qiqi and Mrs. Qi still need someone to take care of them, and I’m afraid that once Qiqi finds out the terrible things I’ve done, she won’t cooperate with her treatment. My life isn’t worth sparing, but I don’t want to drag them down with me..."

"You don’t need to explain this to me—I don’t want to hear it."

Chen Hai immediately shut his mouth. "Alright, I won’t say more. Miss Rong, I killed an old hen in the yard and made some soup. How about having dinner before you leave?"

Rong Yan neither agreed nor disagreed. Seeing her head lowered while fiddling with her phone, Chen Hai refrained from speaking further and tactfully moved to the side.

She was left alone in the main room.

Rong Yan breathed in the quiet air, feeling the oppressive weight on her chest ease slightly. To be honest, she didn’t know how to handle Chen Hai. By rights, she should call the police and have them take him away immediately. But Ye Qi and the others had no idea about the things Chen Hai had done. If that young girl found out Chen Hai did foolish things for her, she might carry a burden of guilt in her heart and, just as Chen Hai said, refuse to cooperate with her treatment. Three lives in the Ye Family might still end up as a tragedy.

But the things Chen Hai did, including his promise to confess to the police after Ye Qi recovered, were not something she was willing to outright agree to.

Agreeing meant she had softened.

Toward someone who wanted to harm her, she should not soften.

Feeling agitated, Rong Yan closed her eyes. Only after stabilizing her emotions did she open them again. She pushed aside the bothersome thoughts in her head and refocused on her phone.

18XXXXXX.

Her fingers flew over the screen, entering the well-memorized number. For every digit she tapped, her heart seemed to twist tighter, beating faster.

What is he doing right now?

Is Little Baby with Mrs. Lin?

Before she boarded the car, she heard Little Baby crying his heart out—was he still crying now? Had Mrs. Lin managed to comfort him?

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, but her focus was quickly drawn to the sound of the ringing tone in her ear.

The call connected!

Rong Yan’s heart pounded wildly, even faster than before.

...

At the back entrance of the film studio, along the narrow Camphor Tree Road with only two lanes, all sorts of vehicles were parked in a jam. Besides police cars, several vehicles that bore license plates recognizable in Capital City had also driven over.

Fu Yi, Cui Jiangjing, even Lin Teng had come.

With these big shots here, everyone else mobilized as soon as they caught wind of the situation. Initially, only the local district supervisor had come from the police station, but upon hearing Lin Teng was also present, the Capital City police chief rushed over in a hurry.

The news of Rong Yan’s kidnapping had spread far and wide, though the media had been forcefully suppressed by Li Shengxiao to prevent any leaks. Even so, news of the incident had still reached families with some influence in Capital City, including Rong Nanfeng. He had hurriedly dropped everything he was doing and brought Rong Mu and his new wife along, desperate not to miss an opportunity to impress.

Li Shengxiao had just asked Cui Jiangjing to administer a sedative to Little Baby. After crying for hours, the little one finally fell asleep and was temporarily being cared for by Lin Zhiya. Only then did Li Shengxiao have a moment to spare to head over, only to be blocked by a family of three.
