Chapter 112: Midnight Meeting

112 Midnight Meeting

Midnight, eleven thirty.

In the darkness, Jin Baiyan opened his eyes.

Jin Mo was already fast asleep. He reached out and pulled the blanket up over him. Then, little by little, he withdrew his hand and slowly moved towards the edge of the bed.

He added a coat, quietly opened the door, and left the room.

Xu Jiahao was standing outside the door, leaning against the wall.

Only a few small lamps illuminated the hallway, the light dim.

Jin Baiyan raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, without a word, he walked straight downstairs. Their footsteps were very light, like ghosts in the silent night.

Downstairs, he turned right and entered the backyard.

The backyard was very dark, without lights. The cold moon overhead was mostly obscured by the only tree in the yard, which resembled an apple tree but bore no fruit.

The cat in the corner had returned, occasionally letting out a soft “meow” sound.

Xu Jiahao was surprised, so the cat house did have an owner!

It’s just that, after being here for so long, he still hadn’t seen the true face of the cat house owner during the day!

Just like the owner of Slow Residence, mysterious and low-key!

The two quickly crossed the backyard, went out the door, and walked straight towards the parking lot.

A five-minute journey, they arrived in four.

Arriving at the edge of the parking lot, Xu Jiahao was just about to point the way when he saw Jin Baiyan scan the surroundings and walk straight towards Qin Manwen’s car.

Xu Jiahao didn’t follow, but squatted down on a stone five or six meters away from the car.

Jin Baiyan came to the car, opened the door, and got straight in.

He sat down, leaned back, crossed his arms, and placed them on his lap, his gaze fixed on Qin Manwen, who had already turned to face him.

No wonder he was Jin Mo’s biological father. Even though he was over fifty, one could still see how handsome he was when he was young.

Just as Xu Jiahao had said, his complexion was pale, and he looked sick.

Jin Baiyan didn’t speak, just quietly sized up Qin Manwen for a few moments, then lowered his eyelids and waited for Qin Manwen to make the first move.

When Jin Baiyan’s eyes swept over him, Qin Manwen was secretly startled.

The young man in front of him was only twenty-five years old, but he exuded a cold majesty from head to toe.

Especially those eyes, gave one the illusion of being seen through at a glance.

Qin Manwen had to admit that he didn’t gain the upper hand in front of Jin Baiyan.

Even though he was more than twenty years older!

He wanted to wait for Jin Baiyan to speak first, but after waiting for a few minutes, he sighed secretly.

When it came to majesty, he was inferior to the young man in front of him. When it came to composure, he was also slightly outmatched.

Qin Manwen turned his head, took out a photo, and handed it to Jin Baiyan.

Jin Baiyan’s eyebrows twitched, and he took the photo.

In the photo, a person was lying on a hospital bed with several tubes inserted into them. Next to the bed, there were various instruments.

One of them was a heartbeat monitor, which seemed to be showing a strong heartbeat.

After looking at the photo for a while, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Manwen.

“Heart?” He uttered the two words lightly.

Qin Manwen took the photo and nodded.

“Yes!” He pointed to the person in the photo, his eyes full of pity and reluctance, “This person is my wife, Mo Mo’s mother, Su Yining.”

Jin Baiyan’s brow furrowed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

“Five years ago, she had a serious accident. Her head hit the steps. Before she fell unconscious, she said a few words ‘heart for Mo Mo’. After rescue, she became a vegetative state, the kind that would die if you pulled the tubes.”

“As early as when Mo Mo’s illness was diagnosed, she secretly went to the hospital for matching tests.”

“The doctor said that Mo Mo’s heart could work for more than thirty years, so Yining decided that when Mo Mo’s heart failed, she would give him her heart!”

“Less than three months after the matching test came out, Mo Mo was lost!”

“Over the years, I’ve been wondering how Mo Mo was lost?”

“He was clearly in our car all the time, and no one else passed by our car, so how did he end up in that small Little Jing Village in the mountains?”

“Jin Baiyan, can you solve this mystery for me first?”

Qin Manwen originally wanted to get straight to business, but as he spoke, he couldn’t help but ask the question he had been unable to figure out for twenty-two years.

Jin Baiyan raised his eyes and stared at Qin Manwen.

Qin Manwen actually saw a trace of contempt and mockery in Jin Baiyan’s eyes, and his mood became complicated.

He was a CEO, who had commanded respect for more than twenty years, but he was actually despised by a twenty-five-year-old!

In order to know the truth, he had to suppress the urge to roar, gritted his teeth, and stared back at Jin Baiyan.

He also felt that it was a bit absurd to ask Jin Baiyan, who was only two years old at the time, but he was currently the only one who might know the truth.

In fact, Qin Manwen couldn’t be blamed for not understanding. Who would have thought that Bai Congsheng was so hardworking, relying on a small broken tricycle, he actually ran more than ten kilometers to dig up a terraced field.

Jin Baiyan twitched the corner of his mouth and lightly uttered a few concise words.

“The car door opened!”

“Crawled out, rolled down!”

“Rolled to my side!”

Qin Manwen opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, then after careful consideration, he understood.

This was also a possibility they had suspected at the beginning.

On their way back to Yucheng from their hometown, they only opened the car door a few times, either to go to the toilet or to get out of the car for a short rest.

Later, after Qin Momo disappeared, he focused his search on the vicinity of those times when the car door was opened.

However, the initial scope was a bit small, so he couldn’t find Little Jing Village.

“Heh! So that’s really how it was!” Qin Manwen couldn’t help but smile, “It’s just that the mountain road where we parked, below it is Yongmen Village, we asked every household, and they all said they didn’t see anything.”

“We even searched the nearby terraced fields, but found nothing. Who would have thought that Mo Mo would be taken to a place more than ten kilometers away.”

“By the time we expanded our search and found his clues, he had already been taken away!”

Qin Manwen was very annoyed, one wrong step back then, and he missed him for twenty-two years.

“Forget it, it’s all fate, let’s not mention it!”

“Originally, I wanted to find you three days later, after the DNA report came out!”

“I didn’t expect this guy Xu Jiahao to be exposed so quickly!”

“Since that’s the case, let’s talk earlier!”

Qin Manwen leaned back, his face slightly flushed. Talking about homosexual love problems with a young man was always awkward.

“That…, are you and Mo Mo, no, I should ask, are you and Jin Mo dating?”

Qin Manwen asked while pushing his glasses, trying to hide his slight embarrassment.

Jin Baiyan’s brow twitched, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he raised his eyes to look at Qin Manwen, a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

“Is it?” Qin Manwen asked again.

Jin Baiyan lightly uttered a word, “Yes!”

Qin Manwen had already gone through the shocking steps, and at this moment, he was already calm.

His face was serious, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Jin Baiyan became sharp.

“I don’t agree!”

Jin Baiyan’s brow only twitched, without a word.

“After Mo Mo disappeared, Yining always felt it was her fault, and she put her whole heart into finding him. During that time, we had a child, but we couldn’t keep it. Mo Mo is my only child.”

Jin Baiyan’s eyelids drooped slightly, and his hands on his knees involuntarily tightened.
