She said this with a hint of smugness, and her eyes were full of provocation as she looked at Gao Zinan.
"..." Gao Zinan didn't speak. She just stared at Ren Xueni without blinking, like a volcano that suddenly erupted and then suddenly went silent.
She looked at Ren Xueni, a strange smile suddenly appearing on her face. The next second, she turned and left without a word, disappearing directly from the ward.
Seeing this, Ren Xueni was completely bewildered. "... Why did they leave?"
Ye Mo, recalling Gao Zinan's strange smile as he left, felt her eyelids twitch. Suddenly, she thought of something, her expression changed, and she abruptly looked up at Ren Xueni and the others.
"Stop her!" Ye Mo shouted. " Gao Zinan has definitely gone to find another child!"
--The other child refers to Ren Xueni's biological son, the one who was switched by Gao Zinan and raised under her care.
Upon Ye Mo's words, the others realized something, and their expressions all changed.
"Agh!" Ren Xueni suddenly screamed, angrily shouting, "You bitch, if you dare touch a single hair on my son's head, I'll make you regret it!"
As she spoke, she rushed out of the ward, and Ren Baiyang and Ding Youcai, who had come to their senses, followed her, wanting to go out as well. However, Ding Youcai took two steps before Ye Mo stopped him.
"Mr. Ding," Ye Mo called out to him, "At this time, that child should be at kindergarten, right? You should know which kindergarten that child attends, shouldn't you?"
Ding Youcai nodded. "... I know."
Ye Mo: "Okay, then let's go straight to that kindergarten."
After saying that, she looked at Fan Qingqing, who was somewhat stunned, and said, "Miss Fan, you are Yangyang's biological mother. I'm entrusting him to you. You should be able to take good care of him, right?"
Fan Qingqing nodded without hesitation. Looking at Yangyang, whose expression was somewhat frightened, she said with tears in her eyes, "I will take good care of him!"
Since she said that, Ye Mo chose to believe her.
"Now take us to that child's kindergarten!" She turned to Ding Youcai, her tone leaving no room for argument. "We have to get there before..."
Ding Youcai: "... Okay."
On their way to the kindergarten, Ye Mo and the others finally learned the child's name— Ding Baole.
The name was given by Ding Youcai. For so many years, he truly believed that this child was his biological son. But only today did he learn that his own son had actually died six years ago.
"You actually had an affair?" Ren Baiyang seemed to only then realize his relationship with Gao Zinan, and looked at him angrily.
"An affair?" Ding Youcai sneered. " Zinan was my girlfriend to begin with. If we're talking about a third party, your sister is the real third party..."
He started talking about what happened six years ago.
"Six years ago, your sister was kept by a sugar daddy and got pregnant with his child. But she was afraid of being found out by the man's wife, so she wanted to find someone to take the child. And I was the unfortunate one she chose... If it weren't for that, do you think your sister would have married me?"
Ren Baiyang was stunned.
Ding Youcai wiped his face, looking exhausted and pained, and said, "If I had known she would kill my child, I would never have married her in the first place!"
At this moment, Ding Youcai also felt regret. He regretted breaking up with Gao Zinan because of his greed, which led to everything that followed. If he hadn't been greedy and hadn't broken up with Gao Zinan, their child wouldn't have died, and the three of them might have lived a very happy and fulfilling life.
But there are no "what ifs" in this world, and it was too late for him to regret it.
Because of Ding Youcai's words, Ren Baiyang felt somewhat awkward and didn't know what to say. Ye Mo, on the other hand, didn't have a good impression of either of them, resulting in the three of them remaining silent the entire way.
However, Ye Mo kept communicating with 888 in her mind, asking her where Gao Zinan was. If all else failed, she asked 888 to hack the traffic lights at the intersection Gao Zinan's car would have to pass through, ensuring everyone's safety, so that they could reach the kindergarten before Gao Zinan.
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. She didn't know what Gao Zinan was planning to do by going to see that child named Ding Baole, but she didn't mind speculating about him with the utmost malice.
Given the other party's resentment towards Ren Xueni, she most likely wanted to kill Ding Baole to get revenge on Ren Xueni, or at least to harm the child.
[Host, Gao Zinan will arrive at Yuren Kindergarten in about fifteen minutes. You will arrive five minutes earlier than her!] 888 said -- Yuren Kindergarten, that's the kindergarten Ding Baole attends.
Hearing 888's words, Ye Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Strangers are not allowed to enter or leave the kindergarten. If they want to see the child, they can only do so at the gate. So after they arrived at the kindergarten, Ye Mo asked Ding Youcai to contact the teacher and call Ding Baole out.
By the time Ding Baole emerged with a bewildered expression, the taxi Gao Zinan was in had arrived at the kindergarten.
As soon as Gao Zinan got off the bus, she saw Ding Baole walking out of the school. In that instant, she thought of Ren Xueni and the child that Ren Xueni had killed. A shadow of gloom and resentment flashed in her eyes.
" Baole!" she called out, beckoning to the child and saying, "Come to Mommy."
When Ding Baole saw her, his eyes lit up, and he instinctively ran towards her quickly. "Mom!"
Don't go over there.
Just then, a hand reached out and blocked Ding Baole's way. Ding Baole looked up with a confused expression and saw a pretty woman standing in front of him. He tilted his head and asked, "Sister, who are you?"
Ye Mo didn't answer him, but simply repeated, "Don't go over there."
Ye Mo stepped forward, and only then did Gao Zinan see her and the other two, Ding Youcai. Her expression instantly darkened—they were separated by a distance, like the Chu River and Han Border standing between them, and for a moment, none of them moved.
" Baole!" she called again, this time with a hint of sternness, "Come here to me right now!"
Her appearance made Ding Baole shrink back, a hint of fear flashing across his face. He instinctively wanted to walk towards her, but Ye Mo stopped him again. This time, Gao Zinan's resentful and angry gaze immediately fell on Ye Mo.
"Miss, you're blocking my son from coming over. What are you trying to do?" she questioned Ye Mo.
Ye Mo laughed and said, "I just feel..."
Fine, you shouldn't see him right now... Your grievances with Ren Xueni shouldn't involve the child. In this three-way entanglement, the child is the most innocent!
"Innocent?" Gao Zinan's face broke into a smile more like a grimace. Pointing at Ding Baole, she said, " Ren Xueni's child is innocent, but what about my child? Isn't my child innocent too? He was killed by Ren Xueni when he was so young..."
"Why is it that Ren Xueni's child is alive, but my child has to die!"
She practically roared those words, her eyes fixed fiercely on Ding Baole as she spoke, making Ding Baole feel scared and flustered, instinctively hiding behind Ye Mo.
Just then, Gao Zinan suddenly strode towards the child, muttering almost obsessively, "I want her to experience what it feels like to have her child murdered!"
Seeing her rush towards him, Ye Mo frowned, "If that's how you're going to be, then I won't be polite!"
