Lin Xingyuan didn't go to work the next day, saying he was off work. There was still no news of Pei Zongna's daughter; for several days in a row, the police couldn't find Chen Zongyu and her child.

Lin Xingyuan didn't know if it was because of Pei Yumengxi or because he really had nothing to do, but he hadn't gone to work for several days in a row. Pei Shizhou was the same; he worked from home and only went to the company occasionally when Xia Yichu was asleep.

Everyone was gathered together having lunch when suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

"I'll go open the door," Pei Shizhou said, standing up.

"I'll go too."

Lin Xingyuan followed Pei Shizhou out nervously, fearing that the Yu family had arrived.

Pei Shizhou walked ahead and opened the door. The person outside surprised him. He went out and closed the door behind him.

"Xingyuan, this girl says she's your sister. She says her child is missing and she's come to you for help finding her child."

The person who came was an old lady from the same building as Lin Xingyuan. She didn't know Pei Shizhou, but she knew Lin Xingyuan.

She ran into Pei Zongna at the entrance of the residential area on her way home. Pei Zongna looked haggard and dazed.

They approached her and asked her what was wrong, and learned that her daughter was missing and she had come to their neighborhood to ask the child's uncle for help.

The old woman volunteered to bring her in. At first, she said she was looking for Pei Shizhou. The old woman said she didn't know him. Then she said Xia Yichu, but the old woman still said she didn't know her.

Later, she said she was looking for Lin Weidong and Lin Xingyuan, and that's when the old lady brought her here to knock on the door.

"Aunt Liu, thank you for your trouble." Seeing that Pei Shizhou didn't speak, Lin Xingyuan quickly thanked the old lady.

"No trouble at all, Xingyuan. Your sister's child has been missing for a few days. Could you please help look for him? He's only a few months old..."

The old woman didn't know that Pei Zongna was actually Pei Shizhou's sister, and Pei Zongna didn't explain either. Worried that Pei Shizhou would send her away, she quickly interrupted the old woman.

"Thank you, ma'am. Please go home and have dinner soon."

She searched for Pei Shizhou in many places, but the company said he was frequently absent from work. Pei Zongna asked the people at the company, and everyone said they didn't know where Pei Shizhou was.

Later, she simply asked the Yu family about the Lin family's address. She learned from Yu's mother that Pei Shizhou had also bought a house in the same neighborhood, so she came looking for him.

"It's okay, girl, I'll head back now."

After the old woman left, Pei Shizhou said coldly, "Pei Zongna, what did you come to see me for?"

Lin Xingyuan didn't speak or go back; he just watched from the side.

"Mr. Pei, please save my daughter. She's so young, she doesn't know anything, she's innocent."

Pei Zongna knew Pei Shizhou's abilities; only if he was willing to help find the child could her daughter have a better chance.

That damned Chen Zongyu, if anything happens to her daughter, neither Chen Zongyu nor the Pei family will have an easy time.

"Pei Zongna, you should go to the police to save your child. I'm just a businessman now, I don't have that kind of power to save your child."

Pei Shizhou said this, but in reality, he had people keeping an eye on Chen Zongyu's whereabouts. After all, he couldn't rest easy until Chen Zongyu was caught.

"No, Mr. Pei, you can definitely do it. I'll kneel down and beg you."

Pei Zongna knelt down as expected, but Pei Shizhou pulled her back.

"Pei Zongna, kneeling to me won't help. You and Chen Zongyu grew up together, you should know him inside and out."

You should go back and think carefully about where Chen Zongyu might be hiding. Provide the police with useful clues instead of wasting your time with me.

Pei Shizhou pulled her up and said these words. Pei Zongna shook her head while crying and wanted to kneel down again, but Pei Shizhou angrily pushed her away.

Pei Zongna sat on the ground and refused to get up, instead questioning Pei Shizhou.

"Pei Shizhou, do you even have a heart?"

Pei Zongna thought that even if Pei Shizhou didn't help, he shouldn't treat her like this because her daughter's life was in danger.

"Ha, not for you."

Pei Shizhou said sarcastically that Pei Zongna wasn't any better. He remembered once when Feng Yarou brought her to his home, she told his mother in an innocent tone.

It was said that Pei Feng adored her and didn't like his son Pei Shizhou at all. Pei Zongna was only three or four years old at the time. Pei Shizhou peeked out from under the door and still remembers Pei Zongna's smug look.

"you…"

Pei Zongna was so angry she couldn't speak. She thought that Pei Shizhou had fought for Pei Feng's house for her, so he must have some affection for her.

"Big brother, Shizhou, who's here?"

Xia Yichu finished eating, but the two of them still hadn't returned, so she opened the door and went out to check.

Upon hearing Xia Yichu's voice, Pei Shizhou went forward to help her, looking at her tenderly.

"Xiao Chu, why are you out here?"

Xia Yichu saw that Pei Zongna was sitting on the ground in a disheveled state, and knew that she had come for her daughter. It seemed that she cared a lot about her child.

"I came out to check on things after I finished eating. Brother, you should go inside and eat quickly; your wife is waiting for you to take care of her!"

"it is good"

Lin Xingyuan has to go to work tomorrow; he can't waste time. He needs to go back and spend more time with his wife and children.

Seeing that Pei Shizhou was unwilling to help, Pei Zongna did not try to please him. She stood up and dusted off her bottom.

"Xiao Chu, let's go back too."

Pei Shizhou didn't want to talk to Pei Zongna anymore. He would rather spend that time telling stories to the baby in Xia Yichu's belly.

"it is good"

The two turned and left. Pei Zongna said behind them, "Xia Yichu, Pei Shizhou is cold and heartless. He will never love you and the child again."

Yu's mother told Pei Zongna many things, including Xia Yichu's pregnancy.

Pei Shizhou wanted to turn around and speak, but Xia Yichu wouldn't let him. Pei Zongna could say whatever she wanted, and there was no need to explain to her.

Seeing that the couple ignored her, Pei Zongna stomped her foot and left angrily.

The next morning, Lin Xingyuan went to work; Yu Mengxi had asked him to go. She already knew about her family's situation, and Lin Xingyuan had stayed with her for several days. She had come to terms with it and felt much better.

Lin Xingyuan gradually felt relieved when he saw that the Yu family hadn't come to his house, thinking that the Yu family might be too ashamed to come to Yu Mengxi.

"Shizhou, why don't you go to work too? Chen Zongyu won't come here; he probably doesn't know you bought a house here. Besides, the police are looking for him everywhere; he won't dare to come."

Watching Lin Xingyuan go to work, Xia Yichu also urged Pei Shizhou to go to work. Gu Yunting still hasn't come to Kyoto, and it seems he won't be back anytime soon.

"No, nothing's going on at the company."

How could nothing be wrong? Xie Zekai had been coming to Pei Shizhou's door for several days in a row to report on his work and ask for his autograph.

"Then let's call Brother Zhiheng and ask if Chen Zongyu has been found?"

"You haven't been to their house in a long time, how about I take you there to see him now?"

Pei Shizhou was worried that Xia Yichu would get bored, so he wanted to take her out for a walk.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes. I'm going to see Grandpa later; I wonder how he's been feeling lately?"

Since Xia Yichu became pregnant, she has rarely visited Grandpa Xia, and it's not just her. Grandpa Xia tells them to go about their business and not to visit him so often.

"Okay, take it easy."

The two were worried that Xia Zhiheng would go to work, so they went to his house first. They met Xia Zhiheng downstairs.

When Xia Zhiheng saw them come to his house, he could only lead them back.
