Over at Commoner Residence in Flower City, Nan Zhengde felt a little better after waking up from an afternoon nap, washing his face, and drinking a pot of hot tea.
At that moment, Chai Hua went up to him and informed the latter that the two little ones were on the phone. They wanted to speak to Nan Zhengde on a video call.
Upon hearing that the call was from his beloved great-grandchildren, Nan Zhengde quickly took the phone from Chai Hua.
Two small faces appeared on the screen. They looked almost identical. The only differences were that Erbao was slightly chubbier and Dabao looked more nonchalant.
“Great-Grandpa...” Erbao began in a tearful voice.
Nan Zhengde felt his heart break at the sight of that. “There, there. Tell me what happened. Did your daddy scold you? I'll deal with him later.”
“No, it's not that. Mommy's gone!” Erbao wailed.
“Gone? Where did she go? Take your time and tell me slowly.”
“Yesterday, Mommy said she was going out to help Ms. Lu take something, but she never returned after that. Mr. Qiao and Daddy were talking in the room and wouldn't let us listen. However, Dabao and I analyzed the situation, and we're afraid some bad guy took Mommy away again. Great-Grandpa, you've got to rescue her!”
After she said that, Dabao bobbed his head in agreement.
“How could something like this happen, and why wasn't I informed? Is Nan Chen trying to keep it from me? Get him to call me immediately!” Nan Zhengde responded.
“Daddy went out already. That's why we dared to call you. He said Mommy's busy filming and can't come home, but we think something's off. Could you help us to rescue Mommy?”
“Don't worry. I'll handle it. She'll be fine. Nothing will happen to her. By the way, where are you now?”
“We just arrived at the new house in Flower City. Daddy left after getting several people to watch over us. We're very worried about his safety and can't help feeling a little scared. We don't want Mommy and Daddy to go missing like before,” answered Erbao.
A pang shot through Nan Zhengde's heart. “You don't have to worry about a thing. I'll make sure everything is well taken care of. It'll be fine. I'll send someone now to bring you here so you can be with me.”
