Wang Hao sprinted upstairs. When he saw Lin Wanyi, panic set in.
He tried to grab Lin Wanyi.
"Lin Wanyi, what kind of crazy fit are you throwing? Why are you causing a scene at someone else's house?
"Hurry up and go back, Keke is not here."
Before he could even get close to Lin Wanyi, Lin Jiajun blocked his way.
"Wang Hao, stop pretending. We already know Wang Meijuan lives here.
"Keke is definitely inside.
"You'd better tell her to come out without any tricks. The police are here, and things won't end well for her."
Wang Hao was overwhelmed with panic.
He had no idea how Lin Wanyi and the others had found Wang Meijuan's address.
But he knew that, no matter what, he could not let Lin Wanyi find Wang Keke.
Otherwise, all his schemes would be ruined and rendered completely useless.
So, he continued to bluff.
"Who told you my oldest sister lives here? You've got the wrong place.
"Wanyi, Jiajun, you guys leave first, don't disturb the normal lives of the residents here.
"Let's go downstairs, and I will contact my sister. I promise I'll let you see her, okay?"
Pushed beyond her limits, Lin Wanyi backhanded Wang Hao across the face.
"Wang Hao, why would I want to see your sister? Why would I want to see Wang Meijuan?
"I am looking for my daughter. I only want my daughter.
"If she doesn't open the door right now, I will break it down."
Touching his burning cheek, Wang Hao tried to say something else.
Wang Yuan spoke to him in a grave and earnest tone.
"Wang Hao, stop lying and covering up.
"I have already investigated, and your sister does indeed live here.
"You'd better tell her to open the door quickly, or else they can press kidnapping charges against her, and she will be in serious trouble."
Wang Hao still didn't want Wang Meijuan to open the door.
He was making his final struggle.
He absolutely could not let Lin Wanyi find Wang Keke.
But Lin Jiajun couldn't wait any longer.
He delivered a forceful kick to the front door.
The door swung open.
Lin Wanyi was the first to rush in.
"Keke, Keke, Mommy is here! Where are you?
"Keke, hurry and answer Mommy, where are you?"
The room was not large; it was just a single studio.
Lin Wanyi searched every corner of the room but couldn't find any sign of Wang Keke.
Even Wang Meijuan wasn't there.
Did they really get the wrong place? Was this really not Wang Meijuan's home?
She nearly fainted.
Wang Hao's hanging heart, however, finally settled back into his chest.
He had been scared to death just moments ago.
If Lin Wanyi had found her, everything truly would have been over.
He had put so much effort into this; it couldn't just end like that.
He secretly rejoiced, assuming that Wang Meijuan must have taken Keke to the hospital.
Good, very good.
His confidence returned.
"Lin Wanyi, have you caused enough of a scene? I told you my sister wasn't here, but you didn't believe me.
"Now look, you've kicked down someone else's door. What are you going to do?
"How are you going to compensate them?"
Lin Wanyi didn't know; her heart was solely focused on Wang Keke, and her mind was filled only with Wang Keke.
Wang Yuan also frowned. He called Li Jun again.
"Are you sure the address Wang Meijuan sent you is this one?"
Li Jun replied immediately.
"Yes, that's right. Wang Meijuan's location pin was right there.
"What's wrong, you didn't find her?"
"Right."
Wang Yuan said, "There's no one here."
Li Jun called Wang Meijuan again, but she simply didn't answer.
He tried a video call, and she still didn't pick up.
That shouldn't be happening.
Li Jun muttered.
"Doesn't she want to see her son every day? Why is she disappearing today when she's finally allowed to see him?"
Seeing that no one was there, Wang Hao softened his attitude a bit.
"Wanyi, honey, just listen to me.
"I absolutely put Keke in a safe place. She is my daughter, I wouldn't harm her.
"Now, as long as you behave, come back with me, and live a good life together, you will definitely be able to see her."
"Wang Hao!"
Lin Jiajun aimed a kick at him.
"You animal!"
His kick was forcefully pulled back by Li Suhua.
Li Suhua strictly reprimanded him.
"Lin Jiajun, what did I tell you before we left the house?
"Calm down. What is the use of going crazy? Will this help us find Keke?"
"Mom!"
Lin Jiajun was defiant. "Wang Hao is a bastard, he deserves to be beaten."
Li Suhua pushed him aside, looked down, and picked up a shoe from the bed.
She excitedly handed it to Lin Wanyi.
"This is Keke's shoe. I bought this shoe for her.
"Wanyi, Keke is right here.
"She has been here."
Lin Wanyi hugged the shoe, shedding tears.
"Yes, this is Keke's shoe.
"Officer, my daughter has been here, I am begging you."
Wang Yuan made a phone call. A few minutes later, the landlord rushed over, sweating profusely.
Wang Yuan asked him, "Is the person renting your apartment Wang Meijuan?"
The landlord nodded enthusiastically.
"Yes, yes, Officer, it is Wang Meijuan.
"May I ask if she committed some crime?
"Please don't let it bring ruin to my property."
Wang Yuan didn't give Wang Hao any face this time.
"Wang Hao, Lin Wanyi is the child's mother. She is the guardian, and she has the right to know her child's whereabouts.
"Tell us right now, where is the child?"
Wang Hao was still holding onto a sliver of luck, still reluctant to speak.
"Brother Yuan, even if the child was here, she would be with her aunt.
"She's not in any danger, why do you have to be so aggressive?"
"What do you mean, no danger?"
Lin Wanyi roared hysterically.
"She is sick, she has a fever! I told you, whenever she gets a fever, it's a high fever.
"Is 40 degrees Celsius not dangerous? So many children end up with cerebral palsy because of fevers like that.
"Wang Hao, you can hate me, you can despise me.
"You can even kill me if you want.
"But Keke is your daughter, your only daughter.
"Can you have just a little bit of a heart?"
"How do I not have a heart?"
Wang Hao also exploded.
"Do you think you're the only one who loves her? I am her biological father, how could I not worry about her?
"Since things have come to this, I'm not afraid to tell you.
"My oldest sister does live here, and I did leave Keke with her last night.
"But now, because Keke's fever got too severe, my sister has already taken her to the hospital.
"Who told you we don't care about her?"
"Hospital?"
Lin Wanyi finally got a bit more information.
"Which hospital? The People's Hospital or the Women and Children's Hospital?
"Where is it, Wang Hao?"
Wang Hao didn't know either. He called Wang Meijuan.
But just like Li Jun, no matter how much he called, Wang Meijuan didn't answer.
She didn't pick up his video calls, and didn't even reply to his messages.
Gripping the phone, he screamed inwardly.
"Answer the phone! Sister, answer the phone! Why won't you answer the phone?"
Lin Wanyi didn't believe Wang Hao.
"Liar! Wang Hao, you are a liar.
"You colluded with Wang Meijuan, didn't you? You knew we were coming, so you took Keke away first.
"Wang Hao, tell me where Keke is! Tell me where she is!"
Wang Hao genuinely didn't know anymore.
He truly had no idea where Wang Meijuan had taken Keke.
He continued to call frantically.
Finally, Lin Jiajun said, "Let's go look at the hospitals, sis. Let's go to the hospitals.
"We will search every single one, we will definitely find her."
