Chapter 826: Tragic End (2)

Zhao Youlin and the others looked at the two fresh corpses downstairs, and their first reaction was to cover Joy’s eyes.

After covering his eyes, Zhao Youlin looked at the scene downstairs and suddenly felt a sense of desolation in her heart. She had never expected things to end up like this. It was really regrettable.

After all, lives had been lost, so they could not just walk away. Mu Tingfeng and Han Yichen quickly called the police, and the police quickly rushed over.

Seeing the two people who had lost their lives and the sharp weapons in their hands that they were still holding in the end, the police were all stunned and naturally focused their attention on Zhao Youlin and the others.

Of course, before that, Han Yichen and Mu Tingfeng had already told the helpers who were lying in ambush nearby to retreat.

Zhao Youlin was holding the frightened Joy. She really did not want to follow them to the police station to make a statement. However, since they were already here, her leaving would inevitably lead to people thinking that she had a guilty conscience. Zhao Youlin had no choice but to follow Mu Tingfeng and Han Yichen to the police station to make a statement.

Then, Zhao Youlin inevitably bumped into Mu Chen at the police station. The two of them inevitably had another round of awkward greetings. However, thanks to Mu Chen’s help, their statements were taken down very quickly.

When Zhao Youlin carried Joy home, the child didn’t say a word. As she looked at the listless child, Zhao Youlin was somewhat worried. She was worried that the child would have some psychological trauma because of this incident.

“Joy, it’s okay. It’s okay. We’re here. It’s okay.” Zhao Youlin hugged Joy and coaxed him. She blamed herself in her heart. In the end, they had been too complacent.

They knew that Zhao Youming would definitely do something crazy after he was kicked out of the company. They knew that her position as the president of the Zhao group would be coveted by many people. At such a critical moment... they did not even think of adding a few layers of protection for Joy. They did not think that some people would do something to their son in order to achieve their goals. If Joy got hurt because of this... it would have been too late for regrets.

Joy listened to Zhao Youlin’s words and his empty eyes finally lit up. After a while, he carefully asked, “Mom, is... is that woman really gone?”

Zhao Youlin was stunned. She never thought that the first person Joy would ask after he came back to her senses would be Zhao Youxi.

She thought of how Zhao Youxi suddenly pulled Joy out of Zhao Youming’s hand and pushed him away at the last moment. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little sad. “Yes, she has gone to where she should go. Joy, don’t you... Hate her? She was the one who asked people to take you away.”

Joy hugged Zhao Youlin’s neck and said in a low voice, “I don’t know.”

Joy’s feelings towards Zhao Youxi were undoubtedly complicated. On one hand, he knew that Zhao Youxi and his mom were enemies and she had kidnapped him. On the other hand, he felt that that person helped him out when he was in danger and saved him, so it was hard for him to say whether he liked her or not.

Zhao Youlin carried the child into her arms and patted his back gently. She comforted him, “If you don’t know, then so be it. A child shouldn’t think so much.”

Joy responded with a muffled sound and did not say anything else.

When Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng took Joy home, they were not surprised to see Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong rushing out with anxious faces.

This was the first time Zhao Youlin had seen Zhao Shunrong’s expression being so ugly. His face was as cold as ice.

Zhao Youlin felt a little guilty under his gaze. She called out in a low voice, “Dad, Mom...”

“So you still acknowledge us as your parents? How could you not tell us about such a big matter? You went to such a dangerous place alone. You... You... If anything really happened to you and Joy, if any of you were to have an accident because of this matter, your dad and I... We...”

Duan Yarong was so anxious that her eyes were red. The former master and herself almost had a heart attack when they heard the news. Their grandson had been kidnapped, and their daughter had brought her unborn child to meet the bad guys who had kidnapped their children. Just thinking about it was enough to make her heart palpitate.

Zhao Youlin opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but Mu Tingfeng stopped her first. “Father, mother, Youlin and Joy have been tormenting themselves for a long time today. They should be tired now. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong gazed hard at Zhao Youlin and Joy, but their hearts softened in the end. They relented and said, “Send them up to rest first. Youlin and the child are not hurt, right?”

“Mom, I’m fine. It’s just Joy. He might have been a little shaken.”

Duan Yarong’s heart ached even more when she heard this. She looked at Joy, whose face was so pale that he couldn’t even speak. She sighed and said, “Of course the child would be frightened after such a big incident. Look at this child’s pale face. Are you hungry? Take him upstairs to rest first and ask the kitchen to prepare some easily digestible porridge for them to send up. Also, give him a check-up while you’re at it. He seems to be fine now. There’s a possibility that he might have taken a hit that even he’s unaware of.”

Duan Yarong was still a little worried. She turned to Mu Tingfeng and said, “Go up with them for a while. Come back down later. We have to talk.”

Mu Tingfeng obediently agreed. He brought Zhao Youlin and Joy upstairs. The moment they entered the bedroom, Zhao Youlin and the child she was holding were held in Mu Tingfeng’s arms.

Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment. She reached out and grabbed Mu Tingfeng’s shoulder. “What’s wrong?”

Mu Tingfeng was silent for a long time before he faintly said, “It’s okay. You guys are fine.”

Only then did Zhao Youlin realize the impact that her previous willful behavior had had on this person.

Her hand tightly clung onto Mu Tingfeng’s shoulder. Zhao Youlin squirmed her lips and said guiltily, “I’m sorry.”

“The next time you dare to act on your own, I’ll... I’ll...” Mu Tingfeng furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment. He really couldn’t think of a way to punish Zhao Youlin. He could only say something so serious that Zhao Youlin almost vomited blood.

“I’ll make sure you can’t get out of bed.”

Zhao Youlin was speechless. Has this guy been watching too many melodramatic idol dramas recently?

Just when Zhao Youlin didn’t know how to respond to Mu Tingfeng’s sudden, shocking words, a loud cry interrupted the confrontation between the two of them.

“Wah, Dad, Mom... Joy is scared, joy is so scared.”

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were stunned at the same time. When they realized that Joy had finally burst into tears, Zhao Youlin didn’t worry at all. Instead, she slightly relaxed. As long as the child could cry, it was good. She had feared that he would try to keep it all in, where the emotions would fester and he would make himself sick from holding it in.
