Chapter 349: Mischief

ying that they could always step away from the relationship whenever they wanted to.Of course, after the divorce, Lin Zhihao didn't look for Shi Yan again. The past missed opportunities were missed,...Considering that the two children were also there, Shu Tinglan had to take them home first and come back to find Yi Muyang later.

Yimu Yang stood by the roadside, leaning on his cane. He was tall and straight, like a tree standing firm. He waved to the car behind him.

A black car slowly stopped in front of him, the window rolled down, and two unfamiliar faces with a wild look emerged from the front seat.

"Mr. Yi, it's so good to find you."

He spoke with a nonchalant air, laced with a hint of danger. Yi Muyang searched his mind for those individuals, especially the man in the back seat who had remained silent, clad in a perfectly tailored black suit. Though dressed formally, there was a touch of wild arrogance about him that couldn't be concealed, particularly on his wrist peeking out from under the jacket – a dragon tattoo.

Hey there!

Ding Zizhen had shown him pictures of Gan An, but because Gan An always valued his privacy, the photos Ding Zizhen had taken were blurry and couldn't make out his features. However, the tattoo on his right wrist was a mark of his identity.

Of course, Yi Muyang couldn't say he knew them. After stopping the car, he pointed at the driver in the driver's seat, as if angry.

What do you mean You've been following me all along.

He was aware that there were tigers in the mountains, but he chose to go there anyway. The reason was that the car they had been following belonged to Tinglan, and at least they couldn't disturb her.

The man in the passenger seat tossed him a photograph.

"Hey man, do you know him"

Yi Muyang took the photo, squinting at it. It was the scarred boss, tied up and beaten black and blue. Was he dead or alive

He clutched the photograph and said through gritted teeth, "Isn't this Scarface He owes my brother a life. Are you looking for him too"

The man in the passenger seat pulled the photo back and didn't answer his question. Instead, the man in the back seat, who was dressed in a suit, i.e., Gan An Chaoyang Yi Mu Yang nodded, without saying another word. The driver then stepped on the gas pedal and drove away with a roar.

Yi Muyang stood alone on the street, shivering. Gan An had come to the city. Was he looking for him Or did he have another purpose Yi Muyang had never dealt with drug dealers before and couldn't figure out Gan An's true intentions.

But these weren't the important things. The important thing was that they followed him all the way to the kindergarten entrance, which meant they saw Tinglan and his child. This was what he feared most.

Called Ding Zhi immediately, getting straight to the point.

“Dan An is here.”

“I got it,” Ding Zhi had obviously known it all along.

"What does he want to do"

"I don't know."

Ding Zhi's answer made Yi Mu Yang so angry he almost swore.

"I don't give a damn if you know why he's in the city, but you have to stop them from getting close to Shu Tinglan."

Ding remained silent on the phone for a long time before finally replying.

“I can't stop him, but if you want to protect Ms. Shu and her family, you need to stay away from them first. Because Gan An is coming for you.”

Yi MuYang's heart jolted, suddenly pulled into a whirlpool-like situation, and he was the very center of it, unable to escape. He cursed Ding ZhiZu's eighteen generations for dragging him into this vortex before his anger subsided slightly.

The moment he agreed to go to Yunnan and find Bā Yé, his fate was sealed. Or perhaps even earlier, at the Sanjiangyuan, when Song Song got shot, destiny had already been rewritten.

He had mistakenly believed he could live a normal life, love someone truly, but in the end, he only harmed others. From afar, he saw Tinglan's car driving towards him, she was bringing the children home and specially came to pick him up.

She's such a foolish woman.

He stood behind a lamppost on the street corner, avoiding her gaze, and called her, pretending he had already gone home and she didn't need to pick him up.

He was afraid that people from the An clan were still around, and under no circumstances could he involve Tinglan.

"Well then, you should rest early too. You don't need to pick up the kids tomorrow morning, we haven't decided which kindergarten yet."

Shu Tinglan answered his phone while driving, not paying attention to the roadside, assuming he was truly heading home.

"Okay, Tinglan, be careful."

"Hmm."

Because they both had things on their minds, they didn't chat much and hung up the phone.

Shu Tinglan has always been principled and assertive when it comes to issues regarding her child. She circled the relevant breach of contract clauses in the enrollment agreement and sent a photo to the principal's email, making it clear that if the principal wanted the children to withdraw from school, they would have to bear the responsibility of breaching the contract. This was something she would never concede.

Then she had to start looking for kindergartens again. After checking around, there were very few that met her requirements, which made her feel a bit frustrated. Shu Xiaonian, on the other hand, was seriously building his Lego set. Despite the tiny pieces, he was able to build it completely and accurately according to the instructions. Shu Xiaohe seemed oblivious, entirely unaware of being looked down upon or disrespected. She was diligently drawing and humming an out-of-tune nursery rhyme.

Cheng Zhimin would like Shu Xiaonian but not Shu Xiaohe, which was within her expectations, but she couldn't let it go. She wondered what Zhuo Yu'an would think if he knew his mother held such an attitude towards his daughter.

Cheng Zhimin, secretly from Shu Tinglan and Zhuo Yu'an, went to great lengths to meet the child at kindergarten. Despite all her calculations, she overlooked that the kindergarten's monitoring system was provided by Zhuo Yuan Technology, and she overlooked Zhuo Yu'an's love for the children. He opened videos of the two children's classes every day to satisfy his cravings.

This morning, after the meeting, I went back to my office and casually opened the surveillance video. I didn't see the two children, so I thought they were late and didn't pay much attention. When I finished work in the afternoon and opened the surveillance video again, I still didn't see the children, so I called Tinglan.

"Where are all the little ones today Are they sick"

A cold laugh came from Shu Tinglan's end of the phone: "You might as well ask your mother why the children didn't go to school today"

"What do you mean" Zhu Yu'an frowned.

"Literally," he said, then hung up.

Zhuo Yu'an immediately called Cheng Zhimin, reminding her to turn off her phone. He then quickly called the home landline in Beijing, and the nanny answered.

"Yu'an, are you looking for Teacher Cheng" The nanny's voice was clearly a little guilty.

"Where did she go" His voice was cold. He didn't hear the nanny's reply, so he strengthened his tone and commanded, "Answer!"

"Teacher Cheng went to the city to see her child." The nanny didn't dare to hide it, it seems that Teacher Cheng has made a mistake again.

How many days have you been gone

"I went two days ago." The nanny answered, when suddenly a harsh and angry voice came from behind her.

"Nonsense!"

The outburst startled the nanny, who hurriedly hung up the phone and dashed to the kitchen to cook.

Zuo Yu'an's anger wasn't any less than Zuo Hong's. After hanging up the phone, he immediately rushed to the airport. His mother hadn't seen Ting Lan in years and he didn't know what unpleasant things she would say again. His relationship with Ting Lan was now fragile to the point of shattering at the slightest touch, incapable of withstanding any turbulence.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!ides losing weight, the arrogance and flamboyance in his eyes are gone, replaced by a rare kind of calmness and peace.However, the moment Zhao Tingxing spoke the first word, Han Li knew what it meant...
