She swallowed her saliva. It felt as if she was swallowing thousands of needles. She gripped Song Tingshen’s hand and slowly nodded. At that moment when she opened her mouth, she felt as if there was the taste of blood in her mouth, “… Okay.”
Seeing that she was responding, Song Tingshen felt reassured. He put the car back into drive. It didn’t take them long to return home.
Ruan Xia couldn’t fall asleep, but she didn’t want Song Tingshen to worry or have a nervous breakdown herself, so she forced herself to close her eyes.
In times like these, it was even more important to keep calm.
After turning off the light in Ruan Xia’s room, Song Tingshen went to the bathroom. In the late autumn night, the ambient temperature was a bit low, but he still took a cold shower.
Shortly after graduating, he had rented a single room by himself. Sometimes, there wouldn’t be hot water available in the communal bathroom, so he simply took a cold shower. After every cold shower, he would feel invigorated.
Song Tingshen closed his eyes as the cold water showered down on him.
He actually wasn’t any calmer than Ruan Xia, but he couldn’t mentally collapse before her. He was taking a cold shower to jump out of this pit of tension and pain and be able to use the most careful and calm state of mind to think over this matter.
There were many times when the issue was simple, but people would overlook things because they were in a flustered state.
It wasn’t an accident that Little Wang had gotten lost.
Father Ruan and Mother Ruan were very careful about keeping an eye on Little Wang. Although there were surveillance cameras everywhere, Little Wang had disappeared in a blind spot. The surveillance cameras on both sides of the street showed that no one had walked out of that blind spot with Little Wang, so the police were currently investigating suspicious cars. Too many cars passed that street. It would take a while to check out each car.
Song Tingshen suddenly opened his eyes. His bloodshot eyes looked tired and scary.
Qin Yu.
—
It was very early in the morning when Song Tingshen went out again. He knew Qin Yu’s address and contact information for his previous investigations.
After getting into the car, he called Qin Yu. His call was quickly picked up.
Qin Yu sounded very surprised as he said, “CEO Song? Why are you calling me at such a late hour?”
Song Tingshen said in a heavy voice, “Did my son have a good lunch this afternoon?”
Qin Yu was silent for a while. “I don’t understand what CEO Song is saying.”
In those few moments of silence, Song Tingshen had already determined that Little Wang was with Qin Yu. Even if Little Wang wasn’t with him, Qin Yu definitely had something to do with Little Wang’s disappearance.
“You’ve been playing a game of chess from very early on. Let me think. It probably started when you ignored the opposition of the senior executives in your company to set up a branch office here, especially when the location of that branch office was near my home,” Song Tingshen slowly said, “If I’m not guessing wrong, you had something to do with Li Jing’s suicide attempt. Later on, when your company had an island company retreat, you arranged for Xiaxia to sit next you on the plane… And then even later after, you deliberately said those words in front of me with the goal of creating a misunderstanding and conflict between Xiaxia and me. You wanted to plant the seeds of doubt in me.
“Let me guess, you’ve been monitoring us during this entire time, right?” Song Tingshen chuckled. “What you didn’t expect was that Xiaxia and I didn’t quarrel because of this. On the contrary, our relationship even improved. You must have been furious and unable to accept that. Based on your knowledge of me, you know that my son is the most important person to me, so you wanted to use his disappearance to cause conflict between Xiaxia and me.”
