37: Chapter 37: The Two Adorable Babies Regain Their Identity 37: Chapter 37: The Two Adorable Babies Regain Their Identity Jian Sichen’s back was drenched in cold sweat.
He imdiately hastened his pace and, a second before the surveillance footage was pulled up, successfully erased Jian Si, Lu Yanbai, and Jian Yue from the video, as if they had never appeared in the amusent park.
With the task accomplished, Jian Sichen breathed a sigh of relief as if unburdened of a massive weight; his strength drained from his body, and he collapsed limply to the floor.
That was much too close.
He ca so very close to failure.
At the sa ti, Lu Youting received the surveillance footage sent by Lu Ya.
Gu Yuchen rushed to the computer and fast-forwarded the footage to the drop tower.
However, after countless rewinds, even though the timing and location were correct, there was no sign of Jian Si and the two children in the crowd.
“How can this be?
How is this possible?”
Gu Yuchen could not believe his own eyes and rubbed them vigorously.
Lu Youting’s pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes darkened.
A chilly smirk tugged at the corners of his mouth as he watched him with a look that was both mocking and serious.
Shen Xiuyi wearily pinched the bridge of his nose, as if kneeling before such intelligence.
Gu Yuchen pointed at the computer, confidently declaring, “The surveillance definitely was tampered with!
I did not see it wrong; I really saw sister-in-law Jian Si, holding a little boy who looked exactly like Xiao Bai.”
Lu Youting and Shen Xiuyi looked at him as if he were a fool.
He felt inexplicably frustrated and pulled out his phone to call Lu Ya, “Let ask you, was the surveillance touched before you got there?
Go to Shen Qing and have her check the surveillance again, it definitely must have been tampered with.”
“This…”
Hesitant to carry out an order not directly issued by Lu Youting, Lu Ya was indecisive.
Gu Yuchen yelled angrily, “What do you an ‘this’?
The boss is right beside , my words are his orders!
Hurry up; the boss and I are waiting for your report.”
With the conversation having reached this point, Lu Ya could only agree.
Gu Yuchen slamd the phone down on the table, hands akimbo, and confidently asserted, “Just you wait, the surveillance has definitely been tampered with, I absolutely did not see it wrong.”
Lu Youting glanced at his phone and arched an eyebrow, “You changed your phone?”
Gu Yuchen stiffened, his expression cracking bit by bit.
Shen Xiuyi struggled to contain his laughter, but rembering Gu Yuchen’s foolishness just monts before, he could not help it.
Trying to hold back laughter caused his handso face to twitch continually until he finally let out an impolite snort of laughter.
Gu Yuchen, with a gloomy face, lanted, “It’s all your fault!
After I saw sister-in-law Jian Si, I wanted to call you right away, but my phone fell from the drop tower.
This one I have now is a new phone.”
Lu Youting looked at him expressionlessly and turned his gaze to Shen Xiuyi.
After a brief bout of laughter, the usually elegant and gentlemanly Shen Xiuyi erupted into raucous laughter, even shedding tears from the mirth.
Wiping away a tear, he turned to the mournful-faced Gu Yuchen and said, “I—I’m not laughing at you on purpose; I really can’t help it!”
After speaking, he ungraciously shared the embarrassing tale with Lu Youting.
“Boss, you have no idea, number three, he passed out from fear on the drop tower, among so many people, including teenage girls, all of whom were fine except for him passing out.
Then…
uh…
then he got carried away on a stretcher…
Who would have thought he’d be so cowardly, to actually faint from fear…”
“…??” The image of the incident involuntarily ford in Lu Youting’s mind, his ice-cold handso face twitching uncontrollably.
Gu Yuchen felt as if he had lost all face, wishing he could burrow into a hole.
He was thoroughly finished.
This would be a dark mark in his life that he could never erase.
Just as he was consud with sha, the call from Lu Ya ca through.
He answered the phone as if seeing a lifesaver, and to prove his innocence, he deliberately put the call on speaker.
“How is it?
Was it tampered with?”
Lu Ya answered with the utmost respect, “Shen Qing has analyzed the video and confird there has been no tampering; there’s nothing suspicious.”
“Damn!”
Gu Yuchen, who had just been confidently making promises, fell into self-doubt.
Could it be that he really misread the situation due to blurred vision?
But he saw it very clearly!
“It must be a mistake in technique, check again…” Seeing that he wouldn’t stop, Lu Youting finally lost his patience and spoke up, “Enough, let this farce end here, do not bring this up again in the future.”
After saying that, he cut off the call without hesitation.
Gu Yuchen was still imrsed in self-doubt when Shen Xiuyi pulled him away.
Jian Sichen, who had been secretly observing them, finally let out a sigh of relief and reported to Jian Si that everything was safe.
That evening.
Jian Si brought Lu Yanbai back to Yuting Mansion.
To keep Lu Yanbai from slipping up, Jian Si purposely said, “Xiao Bai, how about we make a bet, okay?”
Lu Yanbai asked innocently, “Bet on what?”
Jian Si smiled and said, “No matter who asks, you just say that today, after playing with Auntie Su Wan, Daddy took you ho, and Mommy ca back alone in the evening.”
Lu Yanbai blinked his large eyes curiously and asked, “Why are we making a bet?”
Jian Si playfully winked, “This is a secret between Mommy and Xiao Bai; Mommy doesn’t want to share it with outsiders.
Mommy wants to see if Xiao Bai can keep a secret.”
Without suspicion, Lu Yanbai nodded his head without hesitation and agreed, “I can keep Mommy’s secret.”
Jian Si stretched out her pinky finger, “Let’s make a pinky promise; whoever spills the beans is a puppy.”
Lu Yanbai eagerly made the promise with her, “Mommy, don’t worry, I definitely won’t talk about what we did at the amusent park today, I am the best at keeping secrets.”
Jian Si knew that Lu Yanbai was a child who kept his word; since he had promised, he would surely keep it.
Jian Yue watched Lu Yanbai with reluctance and teary eyes.
“Xiao Bai, I can’t bear to part with you!
When can we play together again?”
In the span of a day, Lu Yanbai and Jian Yue had already forged a deep friendship.
Although Jian Yue was younger, she took care of him like a big sister, considerate and caring for him in every way.
He really liked her a lot.
Lu Yanbai held Jian Yue’s hand tightly and looked towards Jian Si, “Mommy, can I often co to play with Yueyue in the future?
She is my first friend.”
Seeing the deep sibling-like affection between them, Jian Si felt comforted and with reddened eyes agreed, “Of course!
In the future, I can often bring her to see you.”
“Thank you, Mommy!” Lu Yanbai imdiately smiled and excitedly said to Jian Yue, “Yueyue, if you miss , call anyti, and I’ll have Mommy bring to you.”
“Okay!” Jian Yue nodded happily.
At Yuting Mansion.
While Lu Youting was taking a shower, Jian Sichen, dressed in pajamas, grabbed his clothes and a cap and mask and quietly sneaked out of the house.
Once he was out of the surveillance range of the Yuting Mansion’s gate, he found a secluded spot to change into his clothes and put on the cap and mask.
After he was all set, he put the pajamas in a bag, hung it on a tree branch, took a photo, and sent it to Jian Si; then, he walked along the road with his head down.
After parting with Su Wan, Jian Si, with Lu Yanbai, ca to the tree to take the clothes inside and change Lu Yanbai into them.
Lu Yanbai, not understanding, curiously asked, “Mommy, why do I need to change into pajamas?”
Jian Si spoke gently, “Rember what Mommy told you earlier?
You have to pretend you ca out from ho!
If Daddy asks later, just say you ca out to pick up Mommy.”
Lu Yanbai nodded, half-understanding.
Although he did not know why Mommy wanted to do this, he trusted her words implicitly and was obedient.
Just as he finished changing into pajamas, Lu Youting’s voice, eerie like a ghost’s, suddenly sounded from behind, “What are you doing?”
Jian Si’s breath hitched, and she was so startled that the clothes in the bag almost fell out.
“Si…”
