Half a month passed without any news from Bai Ge, and the police suggested that she had been taken away by human traffickers.

This incident caused a sensation throughout the entire residential compound.

After all, many people here know Bai Ge and know that the woman is quite good-looking, and most importantly, young.

If a woman like this is targeted by human traffickers, there's a high chance she'll be sold to a remote mountain village to be their wife.

This is indeed a tricky situation.

The crime-solving rate was not high in those days, mainly because the conditions in various aspects were not good enough, so this was the only way.

After a period of low spirits, Wu Xingbang gradually recovered through arduous training.

As for the Bai family in Anshi, even if they knew that Bai Ge had disappeared and was very likely abducted, they had no other recourse but to cry and make a scene.

What can you do in this situation besides accept your bad luck?

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Liu will be one year old.

Li Qiang was thinking about making a delicious meal for Xiao Liu's birthday. Xiao Liu can now eat some softer food, and he doesn't like to drink vegetable porridge anymore. If Ye Nuan and Gu Hanchuan aren't around, Xiao Liu won't drink it no matter what.

If either Ye Nuan or Gu Hanchuan were present, Xiao Liu would drink very enthusiastically, showing no sign of reluctance.

At such a young age, how can you already analyze pros and cons?

In response, Ye Nuan only said that it was because Li Qiang usually spoiled him too much that he became so spoiled.

"Tomorrow is Xiao Liu's birthday. I'm thinking of buying a fish and making fish porridge for him. It's nutritious and he likes to eat it."

"Okay, whatever you say. I'm off work tomorrow, so I'll cook, and you can rest too."

"I don't have much work to do. Little Steel Cannon and Yueyue help me with chores every day. And now that Little Six can walk, I don't have to carry him anymore, so it's much easier."

"It's precisely because he can walk now that he's such a handful. The day before yesterday, this little guy was running towards the thermos. I slapped him twice, but he didn't cry. I'm thinking that one day I'll deliberately let him get closer and then scald his hand, and he'll behave."

"No way! Children's hands are so tender, you can't deliberately burn them. What if it leaves a scar? At most, I'll just keep an eye on him, but don't get any funny ideas out of it."

The way she said that made it sound like Xiao Liu was her own son.

Ye Nuan didn't deliberately argue with her, knowing that her cousin liked Xiao Liu.

As it approached dinner time, Gu Hanchuan still hadn't returned, and Ye Nuan started to get anxious.

"I didn't hear that we had to work overtime today. Besides, I just saw that Comrade Cai Ying went home. Why is our husband walking so slowly?"

"Don't worry, something must have been holding him up. Let's wait a bit longer."

Ye Nuan frowned, fearing that Gu Hanchuan had been called away from his mission again.

A few minutes later, they heard a noise outside, which sounded like a jeep.

Ye Nuan and Xiao Gangpao exchanged a glance and quickly walked out. As for Li Qiang, she picked up Xiao Liu and slowly stood on the platform.

Gu Hanchuan was carrying two suitcases, with several people following behind him.

Ye Nuan was stunned: "What's going on?"

When the man got closer, she recognized him: "Grandpa? What brings you here?"

Gu Dongfang deliberately put on a stern face: "What, you're not welcoming me?"

"No, that's not true! I'm just surprised. Why didn't you call before?"

Gu Hanchuan chimed in with a complaint: "Nuan Nuan, stop asking. I already asked. You said you'd give me a surprise, but it was more like a shock! Don't you know how old you are? You're acting like a child. I rushed to the train station as soon as I got the call, and I haven't even called Beijing yet."

Gu Dongfang snorted: "I don't need you, I've already done it."

"Where did you fight your way? I need to report to my old boss!"

Ye Nuan roughly understood what was going on: "Alright, stop arguing and sit down to eat."

With several more people added, there's definitely not enough food.

"You guys eat first, I'll go make some noodles. Does Grandpa have any dietary restrictions?"

"No, I'm just hungry."

Li Qiang didn't go to the kitchen because she knew Xiao Liu was hungry and had started grumbling unhappily, which meant he wanted to eat.

Ye Nuan used a large bowl to cook three bowls of noodles, each with two poached eggs and a small handful of greens. The presentation was quite appealing.

In just a short while, the old man had already eaten two large steamed buns and was now slurping down his porridge.

Seeing how good the noodles looked, he wanted to eat some more.

Gu Hanchuan immediately brought over a small bowl: "I'll pick some for you. You've already eaten quite a bit. It's late at night, eating too much will cause indigestion. Just a little bit is fine."

"Oh, I see."

Gu Dongfang didn't say much, and finished it in two or three bites.

"Oh, they're eating!"

The outer gate was not closed, so Han Jinzhong and Jiang Changzhou came in directly.

Gu Dongfang was still leisurely drinking his porridge, thoroughly enjoying the meal!

"Good leadership!"

As soon as the two entered the room, they immediately stood up straight and saluted.

Gu Dongfang merely glanced at the two of them and said, "Go sit over there."

Ye Nuan suppressed a laugh: "Uncle Han, Uncle Jiang, have you eaten yet?"

"We've already eaten. We just found out that Han Chuan brought our former leader over, so we wanted to come and see him."

"I came here to have Xiao Ye treat my health issues, otherwise they wouldn't have let me come. But it was a miscalculation of mine; I didn't expect to arrive so late. Where will I stay tonight?"

The old man was accompanied by a caregiver, a personal assistant, and a security guard.

With this combination, Gu Hanchuan's house definitely wouldn't be big enough to accommodate everyone.

Fortunately, Han Jinzhong and Jiang Changzhou had already made arrangements after receiving the notification.

Fortunately, the house next door was available, so all we had to do was send someone to the logistics department to get new bedding and other necessities.

At least it's not so troublesome anymore.

Gu Dongfang was in a very good mood when he learned that he lived next door to the boy.

"Well, I'm a little tired today, Xiao Ye. How about we go to the doctor tomorrow? What do you think?"

"Either is fine, I'll take Grandpa there."

"No need for you! You're so small and weak, just sit down and eat. Let Han Chuan take me there."

As soon as the two of them moved, Han Jinzhong and Jiang Changzhou naturally followed them to the next room.

Once everyone else was gone, Han Jinzhong said with a reproachful look, "Hey old boss, are you deliberately messing with us? How can you do this! Couldn't you have given us a heads-up beforehand? Look how tense we are now."

Gu Dongfang didn't think he had done anything wrong at all. On the contrary, he said logically, "That's how it has to be! Otherwise, how would I know if you've made some arrangements in advance to fool me? Let me tell you, I'm not just here to recuperate, I also need to check your work!"
