Chapter 585: Chapter 582: With Me Here, Don’t Be Afraid

When Gu Siting arrived at Mingyao’s Apartments, Ming Yao was pacing back and forth in the living room, extremely anxious.

Seeing Gu Siting come over, Ming Yao didn’t even think before throwing herself into his arms.

She looked up with her pale little face, her voice trembling, "I really can’t imagine what I would do if something happens to Little Orange and my grandma. What would I do then?"

Perhaps, she wouldn’t continue to live on either!

Gu Siting looked at the red bloodshot in her eyes from worry and affectionately kissed her forehead.

"Yaoyao, you are so smart, you should know that if it was indeed Si Ye who sent people to do this, his goal couldn’t possibly be just to take away Little Orange and Grandma Ming that simply," he said.

"Before his goal is achieved, he won’t do anything to them, after all, the two people he took are the most important to you!"

Ming Yao’s hands tightly clutched the collar of Gu Siting’s shirt, "What do we do now, do we just wait for him to call?"

"I’ve already sent people to search in international waters, but until we have any news, we can only wait for him to contact you," he replied.

Ming Yao’s head was pounding as if it was about to explode.

She felt both regretful and hateful.

"Right, he’s been inactive all along, why did he suddenly make a move?" Gu Siting asked in a low, husky voice.

Ming Yao told Gu Siting everything about the nun at the church and the Sunshine Orphanage.

Gu Siting was shocked at the news.

"So you mean to say, the nun at the church might be the real Shi Ying? And that cruel-hearted woman could be someone named Bai Ruo?" he inquired.

Ming Yao nodded, "That’s what I think. When you first told me about Sister Shi Ying’s redemption of you, I felt she was a kind person. Plus, her love story with Su Mo was truly touching. Her drastic change later on was completely inconceivable to me."

"But her DNA test results match the Shi Family," he said, his brows furrowed with confusion.

Ming Yao had been panicked all night, and she didn’t feel sleepy at all. No matter how Gu Siting tried to comfort her, she couldn’t stop worrying about the child and the old lady.

As dawn was about to break, Ming Yao’s phone rang.

Upon seeing the familiar phone number, Ming Yao’s nerves instantly tensed.

Gu Siting had already sent professional staff over. As long as Si Ye called, they would be able to determine his location based on the duration of the call.

After catching the eye of the staff, Ming Yao pressed the answer button.

"Si Ye," she greeted.

The phone was silent for a few seconds, followed by Si Ye’s gentle voice, "Little Yao, I’ve sent a helicopter to pick you up. I presume Mr. President is with you, so both of you should come over," he said.

"Of course, it must be only the two of you. Remember, don’t bring any high-tech products, I can detect them," he warned.

Before Ming Yao had a chance to speak, the call was abruptly cut off.

Ming Yao’s complexion turned terrible.

Gu Siting looked at the staff, "Did you get a fix on the location?"

The staff shook their head, "The call was too short, and since it’s an international waters location, it’s very difficult to pinpoint."

Si Ye hadn’t said anything overtly threatening, but his words carried an invisible pressure and intimidation.

Ming Yao pressed her lips together tightly, "Siting, I’ll go alone later, I want to see for myself what exactly Si Ye wants to do!"

Ming Yao was not someone who had never experienced troubles; she had seen all sorts of people. But it was the first time she encountered someone she had so thoroughly misjudged.

Gu Siting pursed his lips tightly, "I’ll make a phone call first, then I’ll go with you."

"Don’t go!"

That place was international waters, where Si Ye’s people would definitely be present. Gu Siting heading over there with her alone would only result in being oppressed.

She didn’t want him to suffer any harm or humiliation because of her!

Even if it cost her life, she would save Grandma Ming and Little Orange!

Gu Siting took Ming Yao’s hand, a hint of indulgence in his dark eyes, "I know what you’re worried about, but you are my woman, Little Orange is my daughter, and your grandma is also my grandma. How can I just watch as you all get into trouble?"

"I’m a man, and even if the sky falls down, I’ll be the one to hold it up!"

Ming Yao gripped Gu Siting’s hand in return, a thin layer of mist forming in her beautiful eyes, "But Siting, don’t forget, you are now a man responsible for the world, you carry a heavier burden on your shoulders!"

With a firm grip, Gu Siting’s large hand cupped Ming Yao’s delicate shoulders, his gaze steadfast and profound, "Yaoyao, I’ve said it before, the reason I took that position was to one day be able to remarry the woman I love and to give her a home!"

"In my heart, no one is more important than you and Little Orange!"

Hearing Gu Siting’s words, the tears Ming Yao had been holding back uncontrollably began to fall.

She buried her face in the man’s chest, sobbing softly.

Gu Siting soothed her long hair with his large hand, "Rest on the sofa for a while, I’ll go make a call."

Half an hour later, Gu Siting came back after making the call, his large hand taking Ming Yao’s, "Let’s go!"

Ming Yao looked at Gu Siting, "Are we really going over there alone?"

"Si Ye is even shrewder than we imagined. For Little Orange and Grandma Ming’s safety, we can only do as he says."

Ming Yao pulled her hand away from Gu Siting’s, charging into the room and taking out several packets of colorless, tasteless medicine powder from the drawer.

Gu Siting came over, placing the medicine powder back into the drawer.

"Yaoyao, he has been by your side for four years and has thoroughly figured out your abilities! He’s a top-notch psychologist, the calmer he appears on the surface, the more extreme and terrifying he might be inside."

"Let’s take it one step at a time and not provoke him for now!"

Ming Yao had a premonition that something bad would definitely happen this time.

All she could do was pray that all the bad things would be borne by her alone and that no one else would be harmed.

...

Si Ye’s helicopter was parked by the seaside.

After Ming Yao and Gu Siting boarded it, their hands were immediately bound.

Si Ye’s men, holding high-tech equipment, conducted a thorough scan on both to ensure they weren’t carrying any weapons or trackers, before flying the helicopter away.

Ming Yao and Gu Siting’s eyes were covered with black cloth strips, neither able to see the other, but Gu Siting was constantly by her side to comfort her, "Yaoyao, I’m here, don’t be afraid."

Ming Yao had always liked to handle things on her own.

But she was acutely aware that no matter how independent and strong she was, there were times when she felt fragile and helpless.

Ming Yao stretched out her leg, moving closer to Gu Siting.

He almost immediately sensed her approach, quickly extending his leg, and the two of them were intimately close together.

He gently patted her leg with his own, as if he was using a language without sound to tell her: I’m here, don’t be afraid.
