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

When Wutu woke up, the first thing he saw was Winston sitting dejectedly in front of him, tears streaming down his face.

Wu Tu was taken aback.

He knew his father had cried because of him, but it was also a rare sight he had seen Winston reveal his vulnerability in all the time he had known him.

And each time, the little guy could only sense that his father was crying.

Even though Winston is vulnerable, his pride as Winston and his hunting instincts would never allow him to expose his emotions to others.

But now, as the tears dripped from Winston's jaw, the black cloak saw the blue hue dissolving in the shadows...

He saw the pain in his father's eyes, a pain he desperately wanted to share with him.

Winston seemed too distressed to hide his pain.

Wu Tu felt as if he had been violently struck; he looked down at the pale blanket...

Self-loathing and his reason were struggling frantically.

Ulu instinctively wanted to apologize, but the words caught in her throat as she felt that doing so would hurt Winston.

Winston didn't want to apologize; he just wanted the little guy to get better.

Just then, Winston noticed that Ulquiorra had woken up. He looked up, his handsome face, though battle-worn and tearful, drawing near as he spoke to Ulquiorra:

"Honey, don't worry, I know you want to get better. Let's take it one step at a time, okay?"

Looking at her father, Wu Tu felt like crying again.

Why are there always gentle and understanding people around him?

Why does Dad always seem to be an invincible shield, protecting him from death?

Even if life is full of hardships, he can't let his father be sad...

The fire in the little guy's heart is being reignited.

This time, besides his family, his friends were also there.

The little guy had just woken up when he received a call from Yu Jue.

Yu Jue, unusually, didn't mention Wu Tu, but simply said that he should come to his home to eat the Northeastern dishes his teacher's wife made when he had time.

Ethan and Yuna now come to him every day.

Even other contestants who had been helped by Wu Tu would often bring gifts to the little guy in twos and threes, hoping he would get better soon.

Since Xie Lige couldn't stay abroad permanently, he would message Wu Tu every day, asking him to play games online with him.

The world of the black clown could no longer remain silent, because his life had been filled with too much light.

What moved the little guy even more was that his fans projected his image onto giant screens all over the world, not to wish him a championship, but to wish him freedom, happiness, and unwavering spirit.

As spring arrived and flowers bloomed, the little guy's condition finally improved. He gradually became less tired and sleepy and regained his energy.

However, his voice has not recovered.

Originally, Wu Tu had discussed with Helena about making a film based on the classic movie "The Rescue" from his memory.

But now, the little guy can't speak, so he has to put many of his tasks on hold.

The little guy has been completely idle except for working from home.

However, the doctor also advised against rushing the treatment and suggested that it should be managed gradually.

The little guy really didn't want to take Western medicine anymore, so Yu Jue took him to see an old Chinese medicine doctor and personally carried a big bag of Chinese medicine back home. He obediently drank the Chinese medicine every day.

This was a traditional Chinese medicine doctor recommended by Chinese athletes, and the little guy trusted him quite a bit. But his foreign family had never seen anything so terrible before; the whole house was filled with bitter, dark-colored herbal soup when it was boiled.

When the little guy brought out the medicine he had just brewed, Kailan's face turned green.

He stared at Wutu with a detached, almost ethereal expression, clearly slightly shaken by the ancient Chinese medicine he had learned from, and even said to Wutu with a death-defying resolve:

"Don't you Chinese people have the ability to perform rituals? Why don't you just ask that sorcerer to perform the ritual on me? I'll take the blame for you, so don't drink this poison. It looks even scarier than a witch's poison."

Wu Tu smiled.

The next day, at Winston's house, everyone was holding a bowl of Chinese medicine.

Even then, the little guy quickly dragged Kailan to the old Chinese medicine doctor to experience acupuncture, which could also relax his muscles.

This caused Kailan to howl in the clinic like a dog getting a shot; it was truly pitiful.

Now, Kailan's voice is hoarse from shouting, and he's not making a sound. The others are even drinking Chinese medicine with him, which makes the little guy feel better.

Cyrus glared at Kailan, deciding it was pointless for the guy to say those two sentences.

An experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctor can adjust the body even for the healthiest person by taking their pulse. Even Winston suffered from excessive dampness and cold in his body.

Foreigners don't understand those things either; they just think that the medicinal dishes Wu Tu used to make at home were nothing compared to real Chinese medicine.

It's clear that the little guy usually goes easy on them.

The little guy had originally planned to take Yuna and Ethan to try acupuncture, but he hadn't been able to contact Ethan since yesterday. He had asked Yuna about it, and Yuna said:

"That guy is unreliable sometimes. He might have gone out and not checked his phone. I'll go to his house and ask him."

So Wu Tu didn't take it too seriously, thinking that Ethan was probably too busy to check his messages.

But to this day, Ethan has still not replied to Wutu's message.

Ethan used to always reply instantly.

The little guy was a bit panicked, and just then Yuna sent him a message, her tone very heavy:

"Ethan has gone missing."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tu immediately turned around and used his authority as the head of the family to instruct Mo Lin to mobilize all available manpower and to find the person unharmed, no matter what means they had to use.

The black rabbit also instructed Yuna:

"How are you? You need to be careful too."

At this moment, Wu Tu also became worried about Yuna's safety.

Yuna replied, "I'm fine. That person must have had a purpose; they were targeting Ethan directly. I'm also asking people to help look for him. I'll let you know if I have any news."

"Don't worry too much, take good care of yourself."

Even though Wu Tu is anxious now, he can still arrange everything in an orderly manner. He already has the demeanor of a family head.

Winston, who was standing nearby, also heard the little guy's phone call. He patted the little guy's head:

"Don't worry, I have the contact information for top hackers. I can ask them to find the person; they'll get the information faster than we do."

But strangely enough, even though all parties sent people to search, they couldn't find any trace of Ethan, as if he had vanished into thin air.

The Winston family practically ruled the entire country, and Wu Tu had no idea just how much power they wielded to keep Ethan's whereabouts so well.

Moreover, the guy who hid Ethan didn't send them any messages. He didn't seem to be after money or seeking revenge. They still don't know his purpose in kidnapping Ethan.

On the surface, Wu Tu remained calm, but inwardly he was frantic with worry. Ethan was his best friend, and how could the little guy just stand by and watch his best friend disappear without a trace?

The little guy stayed alone in the room, carefully watching the last surveillance footage before Ethan disappeared, trying to find something out.

Just then, Wu Tu's phone rang.

A photo was sent to the little guy's phone.
