Mr. Li, my wife doesn’t want to remarry and secretly gives birth to a baby.

One call was from Tao Guanglei, and several other calls were from his mother, Leng Suhua.

Song Qingyi first dialed Tao Guanglei's number back.

Tao Guanglei inquired about the situation of Li Qinghe and Li Xixi.

Song Qingyi said that Qinghe was fine, and the child was fine too.

"How are your older brother and Jiang Tong doing?"

“My sister-in-law went to the deep mountains and forests, and my older brother drove to look for her.”

"what happened?"

"It's hard to explain in a short time. I can still see my older brother's phone and car location. Let's wait for his message!"

hang up the phone.

Song Qing is now powerless to help; he is far away and cannot accompany Li Jingchen.

He called his mother, Leng Suhua, back.

A questioning voice came from the other end, "You little brat, you're not doing something shady, are you?"

"Tsk, I went into the water to save someone, but my phone's broken and won't turn on. Achoo—"

Song Qingyi rubbed a towel and dried her hair.

When Leng Suhua heard that he had a cold, she said, "Oh my, what kind of era is this? You dare to save someone? You're a lawyer, and you don't know about economic disputes? At best, you'll be extorted, at worst, you'll be dragged into it. You're my only son."

“It’s not what you think. I couldn’t possibly not save a three-year-old child. The child is so pitiful.”

"Oh... then forget about the child. He needs to be saved, but he shouldn't be one of those drowning ghosts who are about to die. Even if you save him, he won't be alright."

Leng Suhua changed the subject, "By the way, your dad said you wanted to go on blind dates? How did it go? Did you find anyone you liked?"

Song Qingyi sipped his hot water and said, "Forget it, none of the people Song Chenggong introduced were to my liking. I'm not going on blind dates anymore. I'll just let fate decide."

"Oh dear, you have to work for fate. Do you think your wife and kids will just come to you if you stay at home? You have to create your own destiny."

Song Qingyi was speechless. He rubbed his nose, which was still about to sneeze, and said, "Alright, Mom, I know what I'm doing. I'm still in the hospital. I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."

Leng Suhua said, "Okay, I just wanted to let you know that I'm going back to Nandi next week. We'll talk about it then."

hang up the phone.

When Song Qingyi returned to the ward, Li Qinghe was already asleep, leaning against Li Xixi's bedside.

Li Xixi was still awake. When Song Qingyi covered Li Qinghe with a blanket, he heard her muttering something...

"Xixi, Xixi, don't be afraid..."

Song Qingyi straightened up and said to Li Xixi, "Xixi, your mother is still very worried. She won't abandon you, so don't worry."

Li Xixi reached out to shake Song Qingyi's hand.

When she was most afraid, it was this hand that held her hand.

Li Xixi held Song Qingyi's hand the whole time.

It felt like sensing a warm source of fire.

Song Qingyi asked her, "What's wrong? Aren't you sleepy?"

Li Xixi said, "Dad Song, could you stay here with me? I'm still a little scared."

Seeing the little guy's aggrieved look, Song Qingyi's heart softened completely.

"Of course I'll stay here with you, Xixi, go to sleep."

He found a stool and sat down, with Li Xixi holding his hand, and Li Qinghe leaning against the headboard beside him.

Song Qingyi gently patted Li Xixi's body to lull her to sleep.

He stayed here with them.

……

Jiang Tong got off the plane at Baiyun Airport and then rented an SUV.

As soon as I got off the plane, my phone was flooded with notifications: typhoon warnings, heavy rain was coming, and people were advised not to travel unless absolutely necessary.

Outside, the clouds were dark and heavy, and a heavy rain was about to pass. Jiang Tong was anxious to save Li Jingchen.

Her mind was filled with what Ye Hong had said to her...

"Time is running out for Jingchen. If he misses the optimal treatment window, you know he might suffer from muscle atrophy."

“My dad met that old Chinese medicine doctor once before. My dad had injured his leg and was paralyzed. It was he who cured him with acupuncture.”

"He doesn't come out of seclusion much. I don't know if you can go to Zengcheng. If you still love Jingchen, I hope you can help him one last time."

These words echoed in Jiang Tong's ears.

She thought to herself, "Since I'm already here!"

The thin blue line on the navigation screen was her only hope.

As we drove away from the city, the distant mountains and forests stretched out before us, their branches outstretched like ghostly shadows.

The sky had already darkened...

Jiang Tong was starting to panic. She gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands. The further they went, the less signal the navigation had. There were mountains on both sides, and only this narrow road.

The wind howled, and raindrops were already pattering against the glass!

As the fuel level in the tank dwindled and no gas station could be seen nearby, Jiang Tong had no choice but to reduce her speed to a minimum and look around. Where was she?

With no villages in sight, it would be a lie to say I wasn't scared.

Unfamiliar terrain, poor cell phone signal, and the wind so strong it felt like it was going to blow the hood off the car...

Jiang Tong was caught in a dilemma, her fingers trembling...

But now the road back is also shrouded in gloom, and she can only drive along this road, not knowing how far she will end up.

Finally, I don't know where I've driven, but my phone has a signal, and I hear message notifications.

The phone calls from Li Jingchen were everywhere!

And a lot of the messages he sent!

Jiang Tong didn't even have time to check the message before calling him back, and the call was answered almost immediately.

Where are you now?!

Already driving alone, feeling scared and helpless, Jiang Tong felt a pang of grievance when that guy yelled at her.

Does she owe him something?

"Where I am is none of your business. We're getting a divorce anyway. If you have nothing else to say, I'm hanging up."

"No, don't hang up," Li Jingchen quickly said. "Tell me your location, I'll come find you now."

Jiang Tong fell silent, not wanting him to know that she had acted like a fool and traveled all the way to the ancient village to find him a doctor.

Li Jingchen seemed to see through her thoughts, "I know you've been foolishly searching for some miracle doctor for me! Please, send me your exact location quickly."

Jiang Tong's heart sank. "How did you know?"

"It doesn't matter... Where are you right now?"

"I don't know where I am. I only know that I keep driving north. The cell phone signal is bad and sometimes it's good and sometimes it's not."

"Can you check if your WeChat can pinpoint your exact location? Send it to me."

Jiang Tong shakily stopped the car, opened WeChat, and found that the location was not there, only a waterfall more than ten kilometers away.

"Don't drive any further. If you keep going, you really won't be able to get out. Turn back now and see how far you can go."

Jiang Tong's voice trembled, "I don't know if I can drive back. I rented a car, but it's almost out of gas."

Li Jingchen tried his best to keep his voice calm and steady, "It's okay. Find a safe place to stay and don't move around. I'll come pick you up right away."

"Your leg isn't..."

"My legs aren't crippled, I—"

Li Jingchen wanted to say something more, but the call was disconnected.
