Chapter 1030 - 696: I Don’t Trust Fate, But I Trust You

"Fourth Young Madam, Miss Shuangshuang and Young Master Huang Huang... are missing."

"Plop!"

The book that was just flipped open in her hand fell to the ground.

"Ah Su, explain clearly, what’s going on? What do you mean Shuang’er and Huang’er are missing?"

The strong unease in Su Xiaomeng’s heart surged like a fierce storm.

She stared solemnly at Ah Su.

Ah Su hurriedly swallowed and explained to Su Xiaomeng the content of the phone call from the driver who had just returned from picking up the children,

"Old Huang said he had already arrived at the kindergarten entrance, and at dismissal time, he queued up with the parents to pick up the children. All the other parents picked up their kids and left."

"Old Huang said he told the principal he was the driver for the Yin Family, there to pick up Yin Jinxi and Yin Huaiyu."

"Who would have thought, the principal looked at Old Huang in surprise and told him that just after nap time, Shuangshuang and Huang Huang had already been picked up."

"By whom?"

Su Xiaomeng asked urgently.

Ah Su furrowed her brow,

"The principal wasn’t there at the time, it was a new kindergarten teacher watching the children, and she said... it was the kids’ father who picked them up."

The unease in Su Xiaomeng’s heart kept magnifying; for a moment, her hands and feet felt icy cold.

She knew the worst possibility was unfolding.

If it were anyone else, Su Xiaomeng might have other thoughts, but not Yin Shixiu.

The children’s father?

How can that be?

"Did you inform Mr. Yin and Mrs. Yin?"

Ah Su shook her head,

"Mr. Yin and Mrs. Yin are still taking a nap, and I received the call. Old Huang sounded like he was about to cry. He asked me to tell you and Fourth Young Master first."

Su Xiaomeng clasped her hands tightly together, pressing her pale lips, murmuring low,

"Don’t panic, don’t panic, Su Xiaomeng, you mustn’t panic, calm down..."

Ah Su stood aside, watching Su Xiaomeng, who was trying hard to restrain her anxiety, and for a moment, dared not utter a word.

Shuang’er and Huang’er were raised with her help, and those little ones were as dear to her as her own flesh and blood.

As soon as Old Huang’s call came in, Ah Su was thrown into disarray; at this moment, panic-stricken tears welled in her eyes, and her heart hung in her throat, gulping was difficult.

If she felt like this, one could only imagine how Su Xiaomeng, the biological mother of the two children, was feeling.

"Uncle Huang did the right thing... let’s not alarm too many people, let’s first figure out what’s happening."

Su Xiaomeng murmured.

Driver Huang had served in the military under Mr. Yin and stayed with the Yin Family after retirement, driving for Mr. Yin, and reminiscing about his days in the troops.

He was an old hand in the Yin Family, and while Su Xiaomeng couldn’t guarantee his absolute loyalty to the entire family, his devotion to Mr. Yin was undeniable.

By advising Ah Su to keep it under wraps and first inform Su Xiaomeng and Yin Shixiu, Old Huang had indeed made a wise decision.

Especially today, when the Yin Family was hosting a housewarming banquet, with many guests still in the Yin Mansion.

No matter who picked up Shuang’er and Huang’er, with so many guests, rumors could spread like wildfire, making the situation difficult to control.

"Ah Su, prepare the car."

"Young Madam, where are you going?"

"I need to go to the kindergarten."

Su Xiaomeng said coldly, and continued to instruct Ah Su,

"Just say I’m out handling some matters, and make sure the elders at home don’t find out. They’re all getting old, and since we haven’t confirmed what actually happened, the less they know, the better, or they might overthink."

"These elders really can’t endure such disturbances anymore, do you understand?"

"Uh... alright, Ah Su understands."

"Go quickly."

Ah Su turned and quickly left Jun Garden.

Su Xiaomeng then pushed open the master bedroom door.

Yin Junjie and Yin Shixiu’s conversation had ended. The young man, exhausted from crying and weighed down by heavy thoughts, was now fast asleep on the bed.

Yin Shixiu was still seated in his wheelchair, with a laptop on the small table attached to it...

Seeing Su Xiaomeng enter, he didn’t think much of it at first.

But he realized that after entering, she said nothing, just walked behind him and pushed his wheelchair out of the master bedroom, closing the door behind her.

Once outside the room, Yin Shixiu asked,

"What’s going on?"

Su Xiaomeng, in a steady voice, wheeled him to the corridor not far away, a place far enough from the bedroom and the room where her grandpa was napping.

Only then did she speak in a low voice,

"Uncle Huang went to pick up Shuang’er and Huang’er, and the kindergarten teacher said someone claiming to be the children’s father took them at around one o’clock."

"..."

Yin Shixiu’s expression suddenly turned solemn, with a heavy gaze,

"When did you find out?"
