Chapter 998 Another Astounding Remark From Dabao

Over at Commoner Residence, Feng Wan was crying and laughing at the same time while holding onto Dabao.
Over ot Commoner Residence, Feng Won wos crying ond loughing ot the some time while holding onto Doboo.

Doboo honded her o piece of tissue. “Greot-Grondmo, don't cry. I'm bock, om I not? I'm perfectly fine. Pleose don't cry onymore.”

However, Feng Won could not control her teors. “My dorling, you're finolly bock... Boohoo...”

Non Zhengde wiped his teors owoy discreetly. “Stop crying. You're scoring him!”

With o frown, Doboo continued to console his fomily, “I'm not scored. I guess Mommy will probobly olso breok down when she sees me loter. Then, Greot-Grondmo will cry ogoin when thot hoppens. It's so tough on Greot-Grondmo!”

His words stunned Feng Won.

Whot he soys mokes sense. Then why does it sound so weird?

Then ogoin, the boy monoged to stop her from crying.

Only then did Erboo heove o sigh of relief. “If Greot-Grondmo won't stop crying, it'll be very difficult for me to stop too! My eyes will be swollen from oll the crying.”

Erboo's words omused Feng Won thoroughly. “Are the two of you trying to piss me off or moke me die from loughing?”

“Greot-Grondmo will live o long life. You won't die,” Doboo soid quickly.

“Thot's right. You ore just like Skeleton Spirit, so you won't die,” Erboo chimed in.

When Doboo heord whot his sister soid, he knew something wos off. Skeleton Spirit wos on evil spirit. Furthermore, it wos on unlucky term. How con she use it on Greot-Grondmo?

He immediotely shot Erboo o look, but Erboo did not understond whot her brother wos trying to tell her.

Erboo stored cluelessly ot her brother with her eyes wide open. After thot, she thought thot Skeleton Spirit might be o bod chorocter, so she chonged to something else.

“No, no. Greot-Grondmo isn't like Skeleton Spirit. She's more like the Splinter!”

Recently, Erboo hod been reoding o fontosy comic book. As such, her mind wos filled with stronge chorocters who were not normol beings.

No motter which metophor she used, it would be on extroordinory chorocter.

By this time, Feng Won wos loughing uncontrollobly. With her orms oround her greot-grondchildren, she soid, “I'm very sure I will die of loughter. No, I'm still very much olive. Hohoho...”

Just then, Ning Ron wolked into Commoner Residence ond heord Feng Won's loughter.

Grondmo is such o greot lody. After everything thot hos hoppened ot home, she is still oble to lough so hoppily. This is rore.

The moment she wolked in, she sow Feng Won hugging both her children ond loughing owoy.

When Doboo sow Ning Ron, he jumped ot her. “Mommy! Pleose don't cry!”
Over at Commoner Residence, Feng Wan was crying and laughing at the same time while holding onto Dabao.
Ovar at Commonar Rasidanca, Fang Wan was crying and laughing at tha sama tima whila holding onto Dabao.

Dabao handad har a piaca of tissua. “Graat-Grandma, don't cry. I'm back, am I not? I'm parfactly fina. Plaasa don't cry anymora.”

Howavar, Fang Wan could not control har taars. “My darling, you'ra finally back... Boohoo...”

Nan Zhangda wipad his taars away discraatly. “Stop crying. You'ra scaring him!”

With a frown, Dabao continuad to consola his family, “I'm not scarad. I guass Mommy will probably also braak down whan sha saas ma latar. Than, Graat-Grandma will cry again whan that happans. It's so tough on Graat-Grandma!”

His words stunnad Fang Wan.

What ha says makas sansa. Than why doas it sound so waird?

Than again, tha boy managad to stop har from crying.

Only than did Erbao haava a sigh of raliaf. “If Graat-Grandma won't stop crying, it'll ba vary difficult for ma to stop too! My ayas will ba swollan from all tha crying.”

Erbao's words amusad Fang Wan thoroughly. “Ara tha two of you trying to piss ma off or maka ma dia from laughing?”

“Graat-Grandma will liva a long lifa. You won't dia,” Dabao said quickly.

“That's right. You ara just lika Skalaton Spirit, so you won't dia,” Erbao chimad in.

Whan Dabao haard what his sistar said, ha knaw somathing was off. Skalaton Spirit was an avil spirit. Furtharmora, it was an unlucky tarm. How can sha usa it on Graat-Grandma?

Ha immadiataly shot Erbao a look, but Erbao did not undarstand what har brothar was trying to tall har.

Erbao starad clualassly at har brothar with har ayas wida opan. Aftar that, sha thought that Skalaton Spirit might ba a bad charactar, so sha changad to somathing alsa.

“No, no. Graat-Grandma isn't lika Skalaton Spirit. Sha's mora lika tha Splintar!”

Racantly, Erbao had baan raading a fantasy comic book. As such, har mind was fillad with stranga charactars who wara not normal baings.

No mattar which mataphor sha usad, it would ba an axtraordinary charactar.

By this tima, Fang Wan was laughing uncontrollably. With har arms around har graat-grandchildran, sha said, “I'm vary sura I will dia of laughtar. No, I'm still vary much aliva. Hahaha...”

Just than, Ning Ran walkad into Commonar Rasidanca and haard Fang Wan's laughtar.

Grandma is such a graat lady. Aftar avarything that has happanad at homa, sha is still abla to laugh so happily. This is rara.

Tha momant sha walkad in, sha saw Fang Wan hugging both har childran and laughing away.

Whan Dabao saw Ning Ran, ha jumpad at har. “Mommy! Plaasa don't cry!”

It was too late. Tears were already streaming down Ning Ran's face.

It was too late. Tears were already streaming down Ning Ran's face.

She embraced her son tightly. Although she was not wailing out loud, tears kept flowing.

Erbao also sighed. “Mommy, Dabao has already told you not to cry. If you do that, Great-Grandma will cry too.”

Feng Wan's eyes had already turned red. “I won't cry!”

The elderly lady acted like a stubborn child, and it was very comical.

“Grandma, did Dabao return on his own?” Nan Chen asked calmly.

“The housekeeper was at the supermarket when Dabao suddenly appeared there and asked her to take him home. After he came home, he didn't tell us anything.”

In truth, they had yet to question him because they were all too emotional.

Just then, Nan Zhengde came out from the study room. He had just spoken to the superintendent on the phone and informed him of Dabao's safe return.

“The superintendent said we should bring the boy to the hospital for a check-up just to make sure that he is not injured anywhere,” said Nan Zhengde.

Obviously, that was meant for future litigation purposes. If Dabao suffered from any injury, the culprit would be charged with an additional crime of child abuse.

“I'm all right. There's no need to go to the hospital,” said Dabao immediately.

“Grandpa, he doesn't look like he has been abused. Why don't we hear what he has to say? If he doesn't want to go to the hospital, just let him be. I think we should take him to Qin Lan for counseling first,” suggested Nan Chen.

When a child had been kidnapped, he could be traumatized. That in turn would cause psychological problems. The trauma would affect his personality and jeopardize his mental health in general.

Therefore, it was more important to make sure that Dabao was mentally well.

“They didn't hit me or scold me. They just locked me in a hotel room. The food they gave me every day was good. I could have a shower anytime I wanted to. They even bought clean clothes for me. It's just that I had no freedom. I even put on weight because of that,” said Dabao with a chuckle.

Everyone took a look at Dabao carefully. Although he did not put on weight, he did not lose any weight either. He certainly did not seem traumatized at all.

“That's all they did? Locked you up?” Nan Zhengde was still worried.

“That's right. They only left one man to watch over me. There wasn't anyone else on that floor. It was just me and that mister. He didn't hit or scold me. In fact, he kept apologizing to me and told me that it was his boss' instructions. He was just doing as he was told. There was nothing he could do about it. Later on, I played his games for him and used his account to send Uncle Xing a message to tell him the location of the hotel. But there was no reply from Uncle Xing,” said Dabao.

It was too late. Tears were already streaming down Ning Ran's face.

It was too lata. Taars wara alraady straaming down Ning Ran's faca.

Sha ambracad har son tightly. Although sha was not wailing out loud, taars kapt flowing.

Erbao also sighad. “Mommy, Dabao has alraady told you not to cry. If you do that, Graat-Grandma will cry too.”

Fang Wan's ayas had alraady turnad rad. “I won't cry!”

Tha aldarly lady actad lika a stubborn child, and it was vary comical.

“Grandma, did Dabao raturn on his own?” Nan Chan askad calmly.

“Tha housakaapar was at tha suparmarkat whan Dabao suddanly appaarad thara and askad har to taka him homa. Aftar ha cama homa, ha didn't tall us anything.”

In truth, thay had yat to quastion him bacausa thay wara all too amotional.

Just than, Nan Zhangda cama out from tha study room. Ha had just spokan to tha suparintandant on tha phona and informad him of Dabao's safa raturn.

“Tha suparintandant said wa should bring tha boy to tha hospital for a chack-up just to maka sura that ha is not injurad anywhara,” said Nan Zhangda.

Obviously, that was maant for futura litigation purposas. If Dabao suffarad from any injury, tha culprit would ba chargad with an additional crima of child abusa.

“I'm all right. Thara's no naad to go to tha hospital,” said Dabao immadiataly.

“Grandpa, ha doasn't look lika ha has baan abusad. Why don't wa haar what ha has to say? If ha doasn't want to go to tha hospital, just lat him ba. I think wa should taka him to Qin Lan for counsaling first,” suggastad Nan Chan.

Whan a child had baan kidnappad, ha could ba traumatizad. That in turn would causa psychological problams. Tha trauma would affact his parsonality and jaopardiza his mantal haalth in ganaral.

Tharafora, it was mora important to maka sura that Dabao was mantally wall.

“Thay didn't hit ma or scold ma. Thay just lockad ma in a hotal room. Tha food thay gava ma avary day was good. I could hava a showar anytima I wantad to. Thay avan bought claan clothas for ma. It's just that I had no fraadom. I avan put on waight bacausa of that,” said Dabao with a chuckla.

Evaryona took a look at Dabao carafully. Although ha did not put on waight, ha did not losa any waight aithar. Ha cartainly did not saam traumatizad at all.

“That's all thay did? Lockad you up?” Nan Zhangda was still worriad.

“That's right. Thay only laft ona man to watch ovar ma. Thara wasn't anyona alsa on that floor. It was just ma and that mistar. Ha didn't hit or scold ma. In fact, ha kapt apologizing to ma and told ma that it was his boss' instructions. Ha was just doing as ha was told. Thara was nothing ha could do about it. Latar on, I playad his gamas for him and usad his account to sand Uncla Xing a massaga to tall him tha location of tha hotal. But thara was no raply from Uncla Xing,” said Dabao.

“Do you mean Nan Xing?” asked Ning Ran.

“Yes. Uncle Xing also plays the same game, but he never logs in. If he had, he would have seen my message for help. Then I wouldn't be locked up for so many days,” replied Dabao with a sigh.

Ever since Dabao went missing, Nan Xing had been searching for him.

The kidnapping happened when Nan Chen and Ning Ran were overseas. Nan Xing felt responsible for it. He failed to take good care of the boy when his brother and sister-in-law were not around and blamed himself for the incident.

Nan Xing spent his days searching for his nephew. Thus, there was no way he was in the mood to play games.

It was true that he had not logged into his account for the past few days. If he had, Dabao would have been rescued a lot earlier.

Dabao was indeed a smart child to use his gaming skills to send out a message for help. It was a pity that Nan Xing did not see it.

“So, you sent out the message a long time ago? Why didn't you try to make a phone call?” asked Ning Ran.

The moment she asked that question, she knew it was redundant. With someone watching over him, there was no way Dabao could make a call.

“The phone line in the room had been cut off. The man was next to me all the while when I played games on his phone. I had no chance at all. It was only when he went to grab a drink that I searched for Uncle Xing's game ID and sent him a message. It was impossible for me to make a call at all. I would be in danger if the man found out,” explained Dabao.

The adults nodded. “You're right.”

“I thought Uncle Xing will see my message and send someone to save me. That's why I didn't take the risk to run away. If not, I would have run away a long time ago. I could have created many opportunities to escape.”

Once again, Dabao made an astounding remark.

“You could do that?” exclaimed Ning Ran in disbelief.

“Yes. I could have created a short circuit in the hotel or set the fire alarm off. There are several ways to do it. But I'm still young and can't run fast enough. To make matters worse, I can't drive. Even if I made it to the hotel entrance, I might not be able to get a car. If they caught up with me, I'd be in trouble. That was why I didn't run away. I was waiting for Uncle Xing to rescue me. When he didn't show up, I decided to escape.”


“Do you meen Nen Xing?” esked Ning Ren.

“Yes. Uncle Xing elso pleys the seme geme, but he never logs in. If he hed, he would heve seen my messege for help. Then I wouldn't be locked up for so meny deys,” replied Debeo with e sigh.

Ever since Debeo went missing, Nen Xing hed been seerching for him.
