The sickly little one was adopted by a wealthy foreigner and became a favorite.

The next day, Wu Tu lost all interest in training.

Keep in mind that this was on the eve of the Olympics; four years of hard work, and success or failure hinged on this moment.

In a sport like figure skating where you can't compete head-on with others, only gold medals... only gold medals can prove everything.

But now...

Because he didn't arrive at the ice rink on time, Yu Jue's phone quickly went off, beeping.

The little guy didn't answer, but he knew Yu Jue must be extremely anxious.

Yu Jue, as a coach, also works very hard to mentor his student.

He apologized in his heart, but still didn't plan to go to the ice rink.

Because in Wutu's heart, her father is more important than anything else.

If they don't tell him what happened, then he'll investigate and ask around on his own!

Wu Tu went out and planned to head towards Winston's company.

But the bodyguard, who usually allowed him to go out for a walk, unexpectedly stopped Wu Tu today.

"I'm sorry, young master, you cannot go out alone today."

Wu Tu wasn't a clueless child; observing the bodyguard's reaction, an ominous premonition welled up within him:

"What exactly happened? Has something happened to the Winston family?"

Bodyguard: "I'm sorry, young master, I cannot answer you."

Wu Tu frowned, revealing an angry expression.

His expression at that moment was even somewhat similar to Helena's.

Because he doesn't usually get angry or lose his temper, when this happens, he can only imitate others. Perhaps this is his talent as an actor.

The little guy slightly raised his face, his delicate features filled with arrogance and disdain, like a pampered and picky young master:

"I am also a member of the Winston family, and I also bear the Winston surname. You cannot exercise your right of secrecy against me!"

The bodyguard broke out in a cold sweat, but even under such pressure, he remained tight-lipped to Wu Tu.

"Young Master, please forgive me, but this is the order from the acting head of the family... I cannot disobey."

"Acting head of the family...? Where's my father?"

Wu Tu's expression changed; the little girl could muster endless courage for her father.

The moment he guessed the answer, he didn't wait any longer. Right in front of the bodyguards, he quickly climbed over the wall and jumped over the fence.

The bodyguard had no choice but to chase after him: "Young Master!!!"

Just as Wu Tu was on his way to Winston's company, his phone rang.

The little guy thought it was Richard calling, but to his surprise, it was his dad calling.

Wu Tu answered excitedly:

"dad!"

"Where have you been? Are you in danger? Where are you? I'm coming to find you!"

Winston seemed to be in a very quiet place; the little guy couldn't hear any other noises, only Winston's quiet breathing.

"Honey, don't worry, I'm fine. I just went to work on a very confidential project, and I won't be home until later..."

Just as Wu Tu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to question Winston about why he hadn't told him sooner, he noticed Winston's image flashing on the giant screen in the square outside the car window.

The little guy was involuntarily drawn to the attention and looked up.

The news anchor above spoke each word clearly:

"Yesterday afternoon at 2 p.m., during the banquet where the Queen was receiving foreign guests, a serious incident occurred. A suspect pointed a gun at the Queen, attempting to harm Her Majesty."

"In a moment of crisis, the Duke of Winston shielded the Queen from a bullet and is currently undergoing emergency treatment. Further details will be released by the hospital."

"Today, there has been a major upheaval in the Winston family's shareholding structure. Acting head of the family, Richard Winston, has faced opposition from shareholders protesting his exercise of patriarchal authority. Cyrus Winston may become the next head of the family..."

Wu Tu stared blankly at the news on the giant screen in front of him, as if the voice coming from his phone was gradually fading away.

The little guy only woke up when the traffic light turned green and the car started moving, and he heard Winston on the phone still comforting him:

"Honey, I promise I'll come home as soon as I'm done..."

But the black rabbit suddenly interrupted Winston and asked him:

"Dad, do you remember how much it cost the first gift I bought you?"

Winston across from him whispered, "25 yuan, Chinese yuan, right?"

Ultus fell silent. This was what had happened between him and Winston in their hallucinations, and no one knew about it except him and his father.

But Wutu was still certain that something had happened to her father.

The person on the other end seemed to have sensed Wutu's thoughts, and changed their tone to reply:

"I am making this call specifically for Mr. Winston. He arranged it a long time ago so that this would be the way to reassure you in case anything unexpected happens."

As Wu Tu listened to the other person's words, he felt a mix of emotions.

Just then, the bodyguard's car caught up.

He handed the phone to Wutu, gesturing for Wutu to take it.

Richard's voice came from inside:

"Sweetie, Aiden is still in emergency care, but I've sent people over to keep an eye on him. Now that you know, I won't hide it from you anymore. Don't worry, I'm here for you. I'll protect you, okay?"

The black rabbit disobeyed for the first time, asking Richard, "Can't I go to the hospital?"

"Is anyone at the hospital?"

Wu Tu raised her head, her face devoid of its usual fragility and vulnerability, replaced by a pair of resolute eyes that shone with a golden halo:

"Richard, why are you vying with Cyrus for the position of family head?"

Richard was silent for a moment, then said to Ultus, "Cyrus has betrayed his previous oath. He has joined forces with Aiden's former political enemies and wants all the power of the Winston family. I have no choice but to fight against him."

"The hospital where Winston is currently located is under Cyrus's control. If you go there, you'll likely be grounded and taken hostage by Cyrus."

"Go home quietly, okay? Don't worry, neither I nor Cyrus will stand by and watch Winston get hurt. I promise you that."

"But you need to protect yourself and go to training obediently, okay?"

Seeing all this, Wu Tu wanted to trust Richard and chose to get on the bus.

Just then, another car roared up, and out stepped a man Wu Tu never expected: Allen.

Allen looked at Ulva: "Richard stirred up the situation on his own initiative. He's the one who wants to seize power. He's lying to you. Come with me!"

When faced with the current situation, Wu Tu's mind was completely in a mess.

He looked at Allen, whose face was filled with anxiety, and then heard Richard's voice coming through the receiver:

"Honey, don't trust him. Winston almost killed him. He betrayed Winston once, and he'll do it again."

Looking at the person before him, at a time when everyone was pressuring him to make a choice, when they all seemed to treat him as a trophy in their struggle, Wu Tu couldn't help but shake his head and take two steps back:

"No, I want to see my father."

The little guy turned around and immediately ran towards the bustling city center.

He regularly does physical training and is quite fast. In addition, the incident happened so suddenly that he managed to get rid of his bodyguards and disappear into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

He called Cyrus as he ran.

Cyrus didn't answer. He suddenly remembered Cooper, the person in charge who had helped him when he worked at St. Towen Hospital.

The little guy ran away, belatedly realizing what was happening, and started sobbing in fear. He heard the phone connect on the other end, choked back a couple of sobs, and then asked:

"Mr. Cooper, do you know which hospital my father is in? I can't find him..."

Cooper answered the phone, "Winston anticipated all of this, Ulquiorra, he told you not to come."

"You don't have the ability to fight them right now. Winston has already paved the way for you, and they are in a perfect balance, so no one can break the balance and try to harm Winston or you."

"And Winston wants to tell you that he will never disappear easily. As long as you're still here, he'll crawl back, even if he's in hell."
