My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 128 Who is the biological father?

Standing in front of the small villa, Zhu Ziqing's heart was filled with bitterness and pain.

This used to be her home, but now, her family's actions make her feel that strangers are more approachable than them.

"Hey, isn't this Zhu Ziqing? What? You dare to come back?" A sharp voice suddenly rang out.

Zhu Ziqing looked up and saw Zhu Yahan standing at the door, her eyes cold and a mocking smile on her lips.

Zhu Ziqing frowned and retorted without backing down, "Zhu Yahan, I didn't come back to argue with you. I just want to see my mother. Get out of my way!"

Zhu Yahan snorted coldly, crossed her arms, blocked the doorway, and said resolutely, "Hmph, stop pretending. You just want to come back and break up this family, don't you? Let me tell you, no way!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziqing became instantly agitated, her eyes reddening, and she angrily retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting! I don't have such a vicious heart as you. Where is my mother? Let me see her right now!"

Recalling Zhu Yahan's behavior at the hospital a couple of days ago, her dissatisfaction grew even stronger.

His hands were clenched into fists, and his body trembled slightly.

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, Zhu Shigou's deep and authoritative voice came from inside the villa: "Yahan, open the door and let Ziqing in."

Zhu Yahan pouted. Although she was unwilling, she never dared to disobey Zhu Shigou's orders. She could only reluctantly turn to the side and open the door.

Zhu Ziqing was extremely anxious and was about to step into the house.

But then two burly servants suddenly appeared in front of her, like two guardian deities.

"Get out of the way, I need to see my mother!" Zhu Ziqing shouted angrily, her eyes wide.

At this moment, Zhu Shigou's gloomy voice drifted from the inner room: "Want to see your mother? Sure, but promise me one thing first."

Zhu Ziqing's chest heaved violently, her face flushed with anger: "What tricks are you trying to pull now? Let me tell you, I won't let you manipulate me anymore!"

Her eyes burned with fury as she stared intently ahead, as if she wanted to pierce two holes through the people and things that were blocking her way.

Zhu Shigou sneered, his voice chillingly cold: "Hmph, if you don't obey, you'll bear the consequences. Let me remind you, your mother's life is in my hands."

"You...you're not even human!" Zhu Ziqing trembled all over.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly held them back.

"Am I really your biological daughter? In your eyes, is there only profit and no affection at all?"

Zhu Shigou seemed not to hear him and waved his hand impatiently: "Take her to the room and get her dressed. The eldest young master of the Wan family will be here soon."

Two servants immediately reached out to grab Zhu Ziqing, one on each side.

Zhu Ziqing forcefully shook off their hands.

He took a few steps back, his eyes filled with determination: "I'm warning you, Zhu Shigou, I must see my mother today. If you dare to do anything wrong, I'd rather die than submit!"

In truth, she knew very well that she couldn't bear to die.

Given the current situation, they have no choice but to bite the bullet and make tough statements.

That sharp gaze made the two servants hesitate to approach for a moment.

They looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.

Zhu Ziqing seized this opportunity, gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and decided to ignore Zhu Shigou and the others.

She strode in, muttering, "I refuse to believe I can't find my mother myself!"

Zhu Shigou sat on the sofa in the living room, watching Zhu Ziqing's back.

A sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't stop him any further.

In his view, Zhu Ziqing had already entered the house and there was no way she could escape.

Now all we can do is hope that the eldest son of the Wan family will arrive soon so that we can smoothly implement his scheming plan.

Zhu Yahan stood beside Zhu Shigou, her eyes filled with jealousy, hatred, and resentment.

Her voice trembled with a hint of tears: "Dad, what will I do if Zhu Ziqing marries Wan Qingsha?"

Zhu Shigou frowned slightly, but put on a reassuring expression and patted Zhu Yahan's shoulder: "Han'er, don't worry, what we want is Zhu Ziqing and Wan Qingsha's child. The position of the young mistress of the Wan family can only be yours."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yahan's eyes instantly reddened, and tears welled up in them.

She tilted her head slightly and said with a sob in her voice, "Dad, thank you. I knew you loved me the most."

After a pause, as if remembering something, she asked cautiously, "Dad, who exactly is Zhu Ziqing's biological father? I always feel like she's hiding a lot of secrets."

Zhu Shigou's face darkened, and his eyes sharpened: "Han'er, this is not your business. You just need to keep an eye on Zhu Ziqing and make sure she doesn't escape. Also, don't reveal anything about your mother for now, understand?"

Zhu Yahan felt a chill run down her spine, though she was somewhat reluctant to do what was wrong with her mother.

But under Zhu Shigou's stern gaze, he could only obediently nod: "I understand, Dad."

Meanwhile, Zhu Ziqing searched the Zhu family home like a headless fly, looking for every room and every corner, but she couldn't find her mother anywhere.

She was extremely anxious, her hands clenched into fists, and she muttered to herself, "Where did Mom go? Could it be... that Zhu Shigou hid her at the Wan family's house?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Ziqing's face grew even more unpleasant.

She then realized that she was now in a big predicament.

Even if they finally manage to return to the Zhu family, how easy would it be to leave?

Zhu Yahan and her men followed closely behind her, watching her like she was a thief, never letting her guard down.

Moreover, even if she escaped from the Zhu family, the Wan family was heavily guarded, and she couldn't get in at all.

How can this be good?

Caught between a rock and a hard place, a name suddenly flashed through Zhu Ziqing's mind—Tan Haoyu.

Yes, ask Tan Haoyu for help!

Zhu Ziqing frantically pulled out her phone, only to find that it had been turned off at some point.

She quickly turned on her phone, and a series of missed call notifications rang out, all from Tan Haoyu.

At that moment, Tan Haoyu was sitting on a plane bound for the capital.

The plane passed through the clouds, and the fuselage vibrated slightly.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes showed anxiety.

Because of the sudden departure from the western region, some tricky problems arose with the projects there.

In order to address the issue promptly, he has been communicating with his team in the west via video conference for several consecutive hours.

The phone could only be temporarily switched to airplane mode, making it impossible to answer Zhu Ziqing's calls.

Once Tan Haoyu had finally finished dealing with that pile of thorny tasks, he immediately took out his phone to check as soon as he had a spare moment.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered a WeChat message from Zhu Ziqing.

His heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling welled up inside him.

He quickly dialed the number, but all he heard was a cold, dismissive tone: "The user you dialed is currently unavailable."

Tan Haoyu frowned, extremely anxious, and immediately made use of the resources at his disposal.

He first spotted Zhu Ziqing leaving in a hurry through the hospital's surveillance video.
