Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Stop Trying to Gain Presence by Using Qin Yinyin

"If you really care so much about them, you don’t have to wait until you go to work tomorrow; I can transfer your position right now!"

Xu Lin: "..."

His words were stuck in his throat, but Mr. Bo had already ordered him to get a paternity test done for Miss Yinyin and himself, doesn’t that mean he suspects Miss Yinyin might be his child?

That’s why he dared to call Mr. Bo in the first place.

After hanging up the phone, Bo Yunshen’s face was somber as he pushed his glass towards the bartender, speaking in a low voice, "Give me another."

Gu Jinyan had caught the gist of the conversation with Xu Lin.

"Old Bo, your niece just experienced a kidnapping yesterday. If her teacher really leaves her at the kindergarten, she will definitely be scared... Shouldn’t we go take a look?"

Bo Yunshen’s thin lips pressed into two sharp blades, and a cold light burst in his narrow eyes.

"You call Lu Xiangxiang, doesn’t she have a good relationship with Qin Yan?"

"Let her make the trip!"

After speaking, Bo Yunshen, with a frown and a chilly tone, added, "Right, and pass a message for me too. Tell her to convey to Qin Yan to stop using Qin Yinyin to garner my attention!"

Gu Jinyan: "..."

He wore an awkward expression, sitting motionless on the high stool.

Bo Yunshen raised an eyebrow, his defined hands caressing the freshly made cocktail, his gaze at Gu Jinyan ambiguous.

Gu Jinyan touched his short hair and said in a low voice, "Old Bo, it’s not that I don’t want to help you... but Lu Xiangxiang and I had a falling out the other day, remember?"

Bo Yunshen’s mouth twitched slightly, a bad feeling creeping in.

"My phone number, Lu Xiangxiang has set it to reject my calls."

Involuntarily, Bo Yunshen uttered sarcastically, "Oh, how accomplished you are, to have been blacklisted by a woman."

Gu Jinyan: "..."

Bo Yunshen passed his phone over, saying, "Use mine."

Gu Jinyan didn’t take it until Bo Yunshen stretched out his leg and kicked him, "Hurry up!"

Hesitating for a moment, Gu Jinyan took it.

He knew Lu Xiangxiang’s phone number by heart, so without even flipping through the phone, he dialed it.

Within seconds, Lu Xiangxiang picked up, "Hello, who is this?"

Gu Jinyan cleared his throat and began, "It’s me..."

"BEEP—"

The atmosphere suddenly quieted down. Gu Jinyan’s face, which had been tinged with embarrassment, now faintly turned ashen.

He refused to give up, continuing to call Lu Xiangxiang, as the emotionless female voice came through the thin phone.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is unreachable..."

Gu Jinyan’s face seemed to sink into ink, turning from blue to black, and the usually smiling eyes instantly grew bottomless.

Bo Yunshen: "..."

Gu Jinyan tossed the phone to him and downed his glass in one gulp.

"Now what?"

Bo Yunshen remained silent. He glanced at Gu Jinyan and cursed himself for his stupidity in having asked Gu Jinyan to make the call.

His gaze settled on the dance floor, his face darkening.

Somehow, Bo Yunshen’s mind flashed back to the sight of Qin Yinyin cowering in the bushes, crying in a restrained manner, when they found her yesterday.

Old Gu was right; Qin Yinyin had just been kidnapped—who knows if she might get lost a second time.

Qin Yan’s phone call always got through right away, probably ready to repeat her old tricks. If he didn’t go to Jin Yang Guang to pick up her daughter, it wouldn’t be an hour before Qin Yan would probably call him!

If Qin Yinyin got lost again, he might as well give his very life to Qin Yan as compensation.

Bo Yunshen thought, and abruptly stood up from his seat, turning around to walk out.

Gu Jinyan was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening. The corners of his mouth twitched as he followed Bo Yunshen.

"Old Bo, where are you going? Surely you’re not going to pick up your little niece, are you?"

"Didn’t you just say that whoever’s daughter it is, let them pick her up?"

"So you’ve become a dad so quickly? Should I back-pay you for the full moon gift, as well as all the birthday presents for your little niece over the past few years?"

Bo Yunshen: "..."

A buzzing sound filled his ears. He desperately wanted to reach out and stuff Gu Jinyan’s mouth shut.

At this moment, he found Gu Jinyan’s words utterly irritating!

Fifteen minutes later, at the entrance of Jin Yang Guang Kindergarten next to the little fountain, sat a tiny figure.

When Bo Yunshen arrived, from a distance, he could hear Qin Yinyin’s sobbing.

Bo Yunshen’s pace faltered, then involuntarily quickened.

With a shadow cast over her, Qin Yinyin lifted her head; her eyes, as if washed with water, were clean and clear, but filled with too much panic.

"Daddy?"

Qin Yinyin’s voice was choked, as if a clump of cotton was stuffed in her throat, soft and tender, but Bo Yunshen’s gaze grew colder.

He didn’t speak, and his eyes followed the gate, scanning inch by inch. Aside from Qin Yinyin, there was no one around. Even the light in the security room was out.

Fortunately, the kindergarten was located in a bustling area. Although it was pitch dark around, the distant lights still cast a faint glow.

Bo Yunshen’s legs softened, and Qin Yinyin held onto his thigh tightly, sobbing in intermittent bursts, crying heartbreakingly.

"Daddy, do you not want Yinyin anymore? Why didn’t you come to pick me up?"

Bo Yunshen’s expression stiffened.

What did she mean by him not wanting her? Why didn’t she accuse Qin Yan?

It should be her own mother who doesn’t want her, right?

And Qin Yan, she didn’t truly care about her own daughter, only concerned with her own leisure and fun, never mind caring for Qin Yinyin’s wellbeing?

She really doesn’t learn, does she? Her daughter was almost killed by kidnappers yesterday, and today she’s left unattended!

She wasn’t afraid of another trafficker seeing that Qin Yinyin looked good, and deciding to kidnap her!

Bo Yunshen’s teeth ached with frustration.

He closed his eyes, driven to distraction by Qin Yinyin’s crying.

"Daddy, the teacher said she called you, but you refused to come."

"Wu wu... Daddy, is it true what Uncle Big Beard and the teacher said? Isn’t Yinyin your child?"

"Daddy, do you only like the children of Lin Mansheng?"

Her eyes widened, tears streaming down, her eyes red from crying for what seemed like a long time.

Bo Yunshen’s breathing felt as if it were constricted by a pair of large hands, squeezing his heart tight.

Why was Qin Yan’s child so naive, to believe what the kidnapper said?

He narrowed his eyes, looking at Qin Yinyin.

And these kindergarten teachers, they don’t think about educating, only gossiping about the students’ parents all day?

Besides, of course, he liked the children of Manman!

But did Qin Yan ever give him and Manman a chance to have children?

He pulled a cigarette from the pack, unlit, and spoke to Qin Yinyin, "Get up, let’s go home!"

Qin Yinyin, far from obeying, let go of Bo Yunshen’s leg, fear still visible in her eyes, but now mingled with innocence.
