Chapter 1402 Yunrui's Sincere Inscription: Equal Sincerity
"These... were all arranged by Gu Yunqian?" He pointed to the clothes and milk powder next to him, his tone tinged with complexity.
“Yes, Mr. Yang.” Sister Wang said while covering Niannian with the blanket. “I will take good care of everything, from the child’s food and clothing to the big and small things in the house. The master and madam said that no matter what displeased you with Young Master Yunqian before, you should not take it to heart. The Gu family will definitely give you an explanation in a proper manner.”
Yang Bin remained silent, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
Whether it's because parents are naturally more considerate than their children, or for some other reason, Yang Bin's temper isn't as bad as it used to be. He still understands Gu Mingcheng's style.
That day, Yang Xiaotang was successfully transferred to a special needs ward. The ward was furnished with the green plants she used to like, and the walls were decorated with warm landscape paintings. Even the bedding was made of the cotton fabric she was familiar with.
Foreign mental health experts provide weekly video consultations, while the domestic treatment team makes daily rounds to adjust the treatment plan based on her condition.
Ye Muxue, whose health had just improved, dragged her weak body to visit her. Each time, she brought porridge and soup that she had cooked herself, and sat by the bedside, speaking to her softly, as gently as if she were her own daughter. Gu Mingcheng also came often. Although he didn't talk much, he would quietly arrange everything, from treatment costs to the daily necessities of the ward, managing everything in an orderly manner.
Yang Xiaotang's condition gradually improved. From being taciturn and having a blank look in her eyes at the beginning, she was able to respond occasionally, and then she gradually became willing to communicate with the doctor and even take the initiative to ask about Niannian's condition. Three months later, she was able to hold Niannian to breastfeed and change her diapers, and a smile gradually returned to her face.
Although I still occasionally feel down and think of Qi Ruixiang, I no longer break down like I used to.
Niannian is also growing up healthily. Under Sister Wang's careful care, she has grown from a wrinkled little baby into a chubby little girl with big eyes, just like Yang Xiaotang.
She was very well-behaved and rarely cried. Every time she saw Yang Xiaotang, she would reach out her little hand to grab the hem of her clothes and show an innocent smile. Every time Yang Bin came to visit, he would hold Niannian and play with her. Looking at his granddaughter's adorable appearance, the gloom in his heart gradually dissipated.
The Gu family not only took good care of Yang Xiaotang and Niannian, but also managed Yang Bin's home in an orderly manner.
Ye Muxue specially hired a part-time cleaner to regularly clean the house, replace the plants, and even rearranged the nursery according to Yang Xiaotang's preferences. All the problems that Yang Bin had worried about were properly resolved by the Gu family, leaving no regrets.
Time flies, and half a year has passed. Yang Xiaotang has basically recovered. Although she still needs regular check-ups and psychological counseling, she is now able to live a normal life and take care of her child. Niannian is also six months old. She can sit and crawl, and she can vaguely call out "Mama" and "Grandpa".
Yang Bin's resentment had largely dissipated after six months of meticulous care.
He knew that the Gu family was genuinely trying to make amends, and he saw and appreciated Gu Mingcheng and Ye Muxue's efforts.
Just then, Yang Bin received an unfamiliar international long-distance call.
"Dad, it's me, Qi Ruixiang." Qi Ruixiang's hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, tinged with fatigue, yet still firm.
Yang Bin's heart skipped a beat, and his fingers gripping the phone tightened instantly: "Where are you now? Still in the Golden Triangle? Have you found him?"
"I'm currently in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and I'm safe for now." Qi Ruixiang's voice carried a hint of guilt. "I'm sorry I'm only contacting you now..."
Yang Bin was silent for a moment, then his tone softened: "It's good that you're alright. Everything is fine at home. Be careful out there on your own."
"I know." Qi Ruixiang's voice carried a hint of gratitude. "I don't know what the situation is over there, so I can only call you. Can you understand?"
“Perhaps I can help you.” Yang Bin’s voice carried a hint of heaviness. “However, you should at least tell me some basic information, shouldn’t you?”
Qi Ruixiang on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment: "Dad, you...?"
"It's not really helping you, just returning the favor to the Gu family," Yang Bin said. "They've helped our family a lot these days, and we should be grateful. You help them bring their daughter back, and I'll have my men ensure your safety."
He paused, his tone becoming firm: "I've served in the police force for decades, and I have some old comrades and informants in Southeast Asia who might be able to help you find Shen Chengyu's whereabouts. What do you need now? Manpower? Resources? Or intelligence support?"
Qi Ruixiang's voice carried a hint of excitement: "I'm currently delivering goods in their village with a guy named Tai. We've gotten to know each other, but I haven't had a chance to make a move yet. The guy surnamed Shen has been very cautious, and I haven't found a breakthrough in six months."
"I understand." Yang Bin immediately agreed. "I'll try to get them to contact you. Be careful."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Bin stood by the window, looking at the distant sky, his heart filled with mixed emotions. Half a year ago, he hated this son-in-law to the core and couldn't wait to find him and settle the score; but now, he had to join forces with him to cross mountains and seas to save another woman.
He took out his phone and dialed a long-dormant number. When the call connected, a frail yet still strong voice came through: "Old Yang? What made you think of calling me?"
"Old buddy, do me a favor." Yang Bin's tone was somewhat serious. "I remember the anti-drug squad has always had a key person under their surveillance named Shen Chengyu, right?"
"Shen Chengyu?" The other person paused. "That drug lord? Why are you suddenly asking about that?"
"I......"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, before the person finally agreed, "Okay. I understand. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Bin walked to the door of the nursery and looked at the scene of Yang Xiaotang holding Niannian and breastfeeding her. A relieved smile appeared on his face.
He knew that the Gu family's sincerity was enough; now, it was his turn to show sincerity.
Yang Bin's old comrade-in-arms was extremely efficient; in just three days, he brought back definite news: Shen Chengyu's core stronghold was still in Heiyan Village, but after six months of fortification, its defenses were even more robust than before. The informant who provided this precise intelligence, and who could even track Shen Chengyu's movements in real time, was actually a trusted confidant who had been infiltrating Shen Chengyu's inner circle for many years.
This result, though seemingly unexpected, is actually quite logical – the ability to remain hidden under Shen Chengyu's nose and climb to such an important position demonstrates the depth of his intelligence network.
Upon learning of this, Yang Bin simply instructed, "Proceed with the arrangements as planned." He wasn't concerned with the process; he wanted to end this farce as soon as possible so that his daughter and son-in-law could truly reunite. This was both a response to the Gu family's sincerity and a father's expectation for his daughter's future.
When the message reached Chiang Mai via encrypted channels, Qi Ruixiang was studying the latest map of Black Rock Village with Tai Ge and Qingwa in their rented room.
Upon seeing the words "Assistant Zhou," Qi Ruixiang's pen fell to the table with a "clatter," his pupils suddenly contracted, and his face was filled with disbelief and astonishment.
