Bai Zhenlin picked up the phone and said calmly, "Xiaochuan, it's okay. Xinyao may have remembered some unhappy things in the past."

Bai Yunchuan saw that Bai Zhenlin was trying to fool him, and he also saw that Zhou Xinyao was crying because of Liu Wanning and the others.

"Dad, just tell me the truth. Did something happen to Wan Ning and the others?" Bai Yunchuan said without any doubt.

"Xiaochuan..."

Bai Zhenlin still wanted to hide it from Bai Yunchuan, fearing that Bai Yunchuan would feel upset after knowing it.

Bai Zhenlin thought that even if he told Bai Yunchuan, he couldn't do anything. Instead of feeling sad, it would be better to know nothing.

Zhou Xinyao also wanted to hide it from Bai Yunchuan and never mentioned the matter between Liu Wanning and Zhou Honghai.

However, facing Bai Yunchuan's questioning, Zhou Xinyao really couldn't control her emotions, nor could she lie to Bai Yunchuan frankly.

"Xiaochuan, I'm going to tell you the truth, but you must not be too anxious."

"Go ahead."

Bai Yunchuan had already prepared for the worst.

"Wan Ning was abducted by human traffickers and her current whereabouts are unknown. Lao Zhou insisted on going to look for Wan Ning, and I couldn't convince him, so I had to let him go."

Bai Zhenlin still didn't tell Bai Yunchuan the truth, fearing that Bai Yunchuan would blame himself too much and do something irrational.

"Wan Ning was abducted? How could this happen!" Bai Yunchuan shouted angrily.

Bai Zhenlin sighed, "I was playing in the amusement park and accidentally..."

Bai Zhenlin didn't continue speaking.

"It happened during the time Xinyao was missing, right?" Bai Yunchuan asked in a low voice.

Bai Zhenlin nodded and then began to sob.

"We are so sorry to Xinyao~ Xiaochuan, Xinyao has suffered a lot just to be with you, you must treat her with all your heart in the future!"

Bai Yunchuan clenched his fists, tears welled up in his eyes, and his anger was written all over his face.

At this moment, Bai Yunchuan really wanted to rush out and travel across thousands of mountains and rivers to find Liu Wanning.

But he was also clearly aware of the consequences of doing so. Not only would it fail to solve the problem, it would make the current situation worse.

Bai Yunchuan sighed and asked sadly, "Have you called the police? Why haven't you found him yet?"

"I called the police that day and have been searching ever since," Bai Zhenlin told the truth.

"Dad, I want to talk to Xinyao for a while," Bai Yunchuan said in a low voice.

Bai Zhenlin put down the phone and came to Zhou Xinyao.

"Xinyao, Xiaochuan wants to talk to you for a while. I told him that Wan Ning is missing, but no..."

"I know what to say," Zhou Xinyao said simply and straightforwardly.

Even without Bai Zhenlin's reminder, Zhou Xinyao would not tell Bai Yunchuan why Liu Wanning disappeared.

Zhou Xinyao knew that Bai Yunchuan was responsible and impulsive, and telling him the truth would only be disadvantageous to him.

After adjusting her mood, Zhou Xinyao picked up the phone again.

"Xinyao, I'm sorry. I failed to protect you and your daughter," Bai Yunchuan blamed himself and shed tears.

"Brother Chuan, this is not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame that man. He is the one who ruined everything. If he hadn't tricked me over and pushed me into the river, none of this would have happened."

When Liu Zhiqiang was mentioned, all the anger in Zhou Xinyao's heart was released.

I really want to grind Liu Zhiqiang into ashes and send him to the eighteenth level of hell.

"It turns out it was him..."

Bai Yunchuan was surprised but also somewhat calm.

At the beginning, Bai Yunchuan thought that Zhou Xinyao’s disappearance was closely related to Liu Zhiqiang. Now that he learned the truth, he couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

"How can this man be so cruel and vicious!" Bai Yunchuan said with disgust.

Bai Yunchuan really couldn't imagine how evil a man could be to attack and kill his wife, with whom he had lived for many years.

"Let's not mention him anymore. From now on, we should never mention him again. Let him be judged and punished in hell!"

Zhou Xinyao said with a wry smile.

I can't let it go, but all I can do is stop mentioning him.

Bai Yunchuan immediately echoed, "Yes, this man is dead, let's not mention him anymore. Xinyao, in the years to come, I will cherish you even more. I want you to always be in the sunshine and happy, and forget the pain of the past."

Zhou Xinyao forced a smile and replied, "I believe we will."

"Let's not talk about the unhappy things. Everything will turn around after a period of adversity. All the bad luck has gone away, and what will greet us will be a brighter future."

Bai Yunchuan couldn't help laughing as he spoke.

"Oh~ I feel like I'm almost a speaker."

Zhou Xinyao glanced at Bai Yunchuan and said, "Why didn't I notice it before? How could you say that?"

Bai Yunchuan replied with a wicked smile: "Haha, I definitely won't let you find out. If you find out, how can I trick you into it?"

"Huh~ Turns out you're also a scheming bitch," Zhou Xinyao teased.

"I……"

Bai Yunchuan was about to speak when a beeping sound came from the phone.

Although Zhou Xinyao had never experienced this, she understood that it was probably time for a phone call.

Bai Yunchuan smiled bitterly, "Good times are always so short. An hour has passed so quickly?"

Bai Yunchuan felt as if the two of them had just met a second ago and they still had countless things to say.

Seeing Bai Yunchuan's anxious look, Zhou Xinyao smiled and comforted him: "Happy times are always short. After talking to you for so long, I feel less worried. You are really a good speaker."

"But I still have a lot to say to you!" Bai Yunchuan said gloomily.

"Let's wait for the next time. Next time we can talk face to face."

Zhou Xinyao was filled with anticipation when she thought that the two of them would be able to hug each other face to face at the end of next month.

Bai Yunchuan also showed a gratified smile, "Then let's do it next month. Next month I plan to tell you a fairy tale."

Zhou Xinyao smiled, because she knew that the fairy tales told by Bai Yunchuan were all adapted versions, the kind that would make people shy when they heard them, and she didn't know where this guy heard these stories from.

Following a series of beeps, both ends of the phone fell silent, followed by a long, continuous beeping sound.

Bai Yunchuan put down the phone, looked up and smiled at Zhou Xinyao, then blew her a kiss.

Zhou Xinyao's eyes were blurred by tears again.

Bai Yunchuan was able to control his emotions, but when he saw Zhou Xinyao crying, his defenses collapsed instantly.

Bai Yunchuan turned around quickly and prepared to leave, fearing that Zhou Xinyao would be sad if she saw him crying.

The moment Bai Yunchuan turned and left, Zhou Xinyao remembered that she had brought him some things.

"Brother Chuan, Brother Chuan!"

Although there was an airtight glass wall between them, Bai Yunchuan seemed to sense that Zhou Xinyao was calling him, and immediately turned around.
