"Going back for dinner at this time?" Lao Liu expressed quite an opinion, thinking Lao Er wasn’t being a good husband. Going back for dinner now would just trouble the wife.

Xiao Yebai said nothing.

Zang Xiaolian said, "Second Brother is worried his wife won’t eat, right?"

"Didn’t you say the younger brother-in-law arrived?" Wei Changqing knew about Ou Yanan’s arrival.

"But that doesn’t make it the same," Zang Xiaolian blurted out without thinking.

Wei Changqing raised an eyebrow.

The car moved slowly in the sea of vehicles. It was still some distance away from where the wife and kids lived, but with this speed, it would crawl slower than a tortoise, and by the time they got home, the meal the wife prepared would likely be cold.

Xiao Yebai asked to stop the car, then pushed the door open and got out.

Zang Xiaolian handed the car over to the assistant sitting in the car behind them, then went after Xiao Yebai. Seeing both of them intending to walk home, Lao Liu could only follow suit and get out of the car.

The three men walked hurriedly down the street.

This scene reminded Wei Changqing of some past events.

Zang Xiaolian noticed his expression and asked, "Liu Brother?"

"Just remembered back then, when the few of us escaped together, we had no money for a car, our pockets were empty, and we didn’t dare report to the police for fear that they were involved. So we walked like this, exhausted, but eventually, we saw the sunlight," Wei Changqing said as he looked up at the sky, seeing only stars, not sunlight.

Zang Xiaolian wasn’t with them at the time, so he didn’t know the feeling. All he knew was that when Xiao Yebai, walking ahead, might have heard Lao Liu’s words, he quietly slowed down.

Wei Changqing stepped beside Xiao Yebai, and the two walked shoulder to shoulder.

Two equally tall and handsome men walking on the street drew quite a bit of attention, but the two seemed oblivious, only staring at their shoes.

Wei Changqing spoke as they walked, "You don’t have to worry too much. No matter what, knowing it’s your kid, they’d need to think about the consequences before doing something rash."

Ripping tickets? Killing his son? That was something Da Bai wouldn’t even consider.

If anything happened to the second monkey, neither he nor his wife needed mentioning, the elders at home would surely be the first to follow.

Seeing Xiao Yebai’s face turn ashen, Wei Changqing said, "Right now, don’t panic." Then he abruptly changed the subject, "Your kid, I think I only saw him briefly at the Zhang Family wedding."

"Mm." Xiao Yebai finally spoke, "You avoid coming to my home, that’s why."

"I never said I didn’t like it—" Wei Changqing spoke, a bit of embarrassment suddenly suffusing his dark face. Truly, he had many opinions about Xiao Yebai before, and even now there was some mistrust in his heart, leading to this.

But in fact, Xiao Yebai was not wrong.

Wei Changqing raised his head again, "Everyone will be found."

"Yes."

His sister, Xiaoqi, Lao Wu, and the second monkey, all will return.

They walked to the rental house, slightly out of breath.

Ringing the doorbell, it was Da Monkey Lingxin who opened the door for them.

Seeing a small face when the door opened, Wei Changqing was shocked: it looked like the child hadn’t met with any kidnapping.

Lingxin spoke up with a polite greeting, "Hello, Uncle."

Wei Changqing snapped back to his senses, stammered for a moment, then said, "Hello, Hello, you’re well." Still somewhat incoherent, then turning to Xiao Yebai, said, "Your son’s manners are really good."
