Chapter 1340: The Grand Finale: Child Abduction Charges

One Xiao Anhe was already giving him a headache. Back then, because of interfering in Xiao Anhe’s marriage, father and son became enemies, and he earned Xiao Anhe’s lifelong hatred. They had no contact for more than twenty years.

He only had this one grandson left, and often still thought of him.

Having been a doctor for most of his life and gaining both fame and fortune, yet in his twilight years, he found himself so lonely and desolate…

Yin Shixiu was not wrong; this room full of “treasures,” he certainly would not be so altruistic as to donate it all to the state.

Xiao Family’s things should naturally be inherited by Xiao Family.

Xiao Yan, that kid, is pure and naive. Xiao Kaicheng hoped Xiao Yan could be a bit more worldly, and greater at calculating, but this child’s nature is inherent: simple and gentle.

That is his shortcoming, but also his advantage.

It’s the aspect of Xiao Kaicheng that angers him, yet it’s also what he especially appreciates in this grandson.

As he himself said, he had reached the age where he was ready to enter the earth at any time, spending half his life laboring, fighting for fame and fortune, yet no matter how much he owned, he couldn’t take it with him into the earth.

Xiao Anhe, he had never worried about him and had no right to worry anymore.

But Xiao Yan and Xiao Xiaoang were ones he had to worry about.

“Xiao Xiaoang is my and Su Xiaomeng’s son. Xiao Yan lied to you and also deceived Xiao Anhe. He and his girlfriend have no child at all. This can be checked easily.”

“…Your and Su Xiaomeng’s child is already dead! That was the result after the surgery!”

“This you should ask your good grandson, how a supposedly ‘dead’ child lived well by his side for five years, how he grew up like this.”

Yin Shixiu squinted his eyes, his gaze fixed firmly on Xiao Kaicheng.

What was going on…

At this moment, Xiao Kaicheng also felt completely confused. He truly dared not imagine…

“I wonder now, if you can give me a good explanation, what role you played in this ‘accident’.”

“…”

Xiao Kaicheng looked at Yin Shixiu, his eyes fixed tightly on him, as if trying to see through if he was lying, trying to figure out his current thoughts!

Yin Shixiu glanced at his watch, “My patience is limited, I only have five minutes for you. The opportunity is only once, if you don’t want to think it through and answer carefully… I will call the lawyer in the next second to charge your son with child kidnapping.”

“…”

Xiao Kaicheng furrowed his brows tightly, opened his mouth but had no time to speak before Yin Shixiu added,

“The penalty for child kidnapping is not as severe as child trafficking, but… he is a surgeon, and he stole the newborn from the hospital, that fact alone is enough to ruin your grandson’s future.”

“…”

With his mouth agape, Xiao Kaicheng did not close it for a long time, still staring intently at Yin Shixiu…

Outside, the bitter wind blew fiercely, inside the room the heating was fully on, letting no trace of winter’s malice be felt.

Just like this white-haired old man before him, back then, he was well aware that perhaps someone from the hospital colluded with Yin Shiqing, otherwise… some things wouldn’t have been so smooth.

So in the subsequent investigations, Yin Shixiu never stopped pursuing the doctors and nurses involved in that surgery.

But the reason he didn’t relentlessly pursue the hospital was because Su Xiaomeng ultimately survived.

If the hospital really colluded with Yin Shiqing, in the surgery where Su Xiaomeng had complications, tragically, not only would Little Treasure have ‘died’, but also Su Xiaomeng.

He always firmly believed this, so…

If it wasn’t for Xiao Xiaoang appearing alive in front of him, and if it wasn’t for Su Xiaomeng repeatedly saying, if Little Treasure were alive, he would look like Xiao Ang…

He still wouldn’t turn over the old events from five and a half years ago.

Those old events were scars for their family, and uncovering them would only result in bloody pain.

Last night, at midnight, he went alone to the study, asking for the files on Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan’s girlfriend Shen Huan from five years ago, and detailed files on Xiao Anhe and Xiao Kaicheng, waiting until the early morning hours.

He couldn’t easily conclude what kind of person Xiao Yan was. Xiao Anhe was someone who had saved his life, and he knew that man’s temperament well, and as for Xiao Kaicheng, this old man he had overlooked… Yin Shixiu never expected that this old man had collaborated with Yin Shiqing on medical equipment projects before.

The benefits Yin Shiqing brought this old man were things others couldn’t see or imagine.

Today, when Yin Shixiu entered Xiao Kaicheng’s home, the stench of money was hard to ignore for him.

Yin Shixiu stood before Xiao Kaicheng, hands behind his back, looking at the old dean sitting anxiously on the sofa, his thoughts unsettled.

He grasped this sly old fox’s lifeline, that being the same obsession with bloodline as Yin Shiqing.

No matter how much Xiao Anhe rebelled against him, or hated him, he recognized him as his own son, so even if Xiao Xiaoang seemed to appear out of nowhere, even if Xiao Yan fathered a child out of wedlock, he could accept it, only because it was the Xiao family’s bloodline, but ironically—

This bloodline he so valued seemed less important when it came to Xiao Yan.

He stole someone else’s child, raising him joyfully.

The sharpness in Xiao Kaicheng’s eyes slowly got replaced by dejection and disillusionment…

“Five minutes are up, old dean.”

Xiao Kaicheng closed his eyes…

Maybe he figured it out, maybe he gave up struggling…

When Yin Shixiu left Xiao’s home, there was a bloodthirsty gleam in his eyes. At this moment, he felt like digging up Yin Shiqing’s ashes from his grave and feeding them to a dog!

Xiao Kaicheng sat alone on the sofa, his demeanor extremely weary, yet, at the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief…

At last, he didn’t have to carry this secret to his grave…

“Master… it’s lunch time now, what would you like to eat for lunch?”

The maid came back into the room after Yin Shixiu left, standing respectfully before Xiao Kaicheng and asked.

“Make me a bowl of noodles, it’s cold, noodles are comforting.”

Xiao Kaicheng said, after which the maid gave a nod and went to the kitchen.

Xiao Kaicheng took a deep breath and picked up his phone to call Xiao Yan, but the call never got through, and so he called the hospital…

“When you see Dr. Xiao Yan, pass a message to him, just say grandpa misses him, and if he’s free today, let him come to grandpa’s house for dinner.”

“Okay, old dean.”

The one who answered the phone was an assistant from the same office as Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was in the operating room, and when a surgery was over, it was past seven o’clock already. That assistant doctor conveyed the old dean’s message to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was a bit taken aback,

“Grandpa…?”
