How terrifying a person must he be to not even save his own children?
The man Eleven loved, couldnāt be that kind of person, could he?
Eleven remained silent.
If it was indeed kidnappers motivated by wealth, she could feel a bit relieved ā they wouldnāt necessarily harm two four-year-olds without a significant grudge.
Yet, Eleven was still worried, quietly wiping away her tears when no one could see.
"Where is Gu Liancheng? Why isnāt he with you? Heās not still at the company with all this going on, is he?"
Eleven shook her head, "No, heās got a high fever. He doesnāt know about this yet."
The car went aimlessly around. They didnāt know where to start looking for the children until Eleven received a call from Ye Mo.
"Hello?" Eleven answered nervously.
"Itās Ye Mo. I know youāre worried about the children. Donāt be; let me assure you first, both children are safe and sound." Ye Mo said, prefacing with the most comforting news.
"Really??" This news was the best thing she could have possibly heard!
Elevenās expression said it all; Jin Xiangbei felt somewhat relieved. This meant the children were unharmed.
"So where are they? Have they been found?"
"Yes, theyāve been found," he said, "theyāre at the Gu Residence."
"..."
The Gu Residence?
"The one who took them is Old Master Gu, so you can rest assured about their safety."
"..." Eleven was speechless, "Thank you, Ye Mo... Iāll thank you properly another day..."
She hung up the call and said to Jin Xiangbei, "Do you know how to get to the Gu Residence?"
Jin Xiangbei hesitated for a moment, "Leave it to me."
He had no idea, but he made a call to his assistant Ai En: "Find me the exact address of the Gu Residence."
"The Gu Family took the children?"
Eleven nodded, not elaborating further.
He didnāt understand the Gu family affairs, and she wasnāt planning on speaking about other peopleās family matters casually.
Old Master Gu must have gone out to investigate her, and subsequently found the two children.
Now that she knew it was the Gu family, she felt relieved.
...
"Miss, they are in the living room."
"Thank you!"
Upon Gu Xiās return, she heard that two young guests had arrived at their home. She hurriedly followed the servantās lead to find the two little ones sitting on the sofa, surrounded by several men in black, seemingly to prevent their escape.
The two were sitting on the sofa, the girl swinging her little feet, instructing one of them, "Change the channel! I want to watch Mr. Gu."
"Havenāt you seen enough at home?" Fang Jiujiu took a glance at her.
"Oh... the moment I leave home, I miss him even more! I wonder how Mr. Gu is doing, if his fever has subsided," Gu Mengmeng said, casting a glance at them, "These people are really rude. They invite guests over but donāt even let them use the phone. Mr. Gu and Eleven must be so anxious now that weāre missing."
The two little ones were not afraid of this unfamiliar environment and didnāt seem to worry about what might happen to them. They were as relaxed as if they were back at their own home.
Fang Jiujiu crossed his arms and nodded.
He was worried about this, too.
There was nothing to be afraid of here; what he was really afraid of was that the woman, Fang Eleven, would know they were missing and would cry and fuss.
"All of you can leave now." Gu Xi approached.
"Miss ..."
"Itās okay, where can these two children run off to? You all look so nervous, just go!"
Upon hearing the sound, the two children turned their heads.
