Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Operation of a Thousand People_1

Hearing her sobbing voice, Xu Fan also felt uneasy.

To have a child out of wedlock, and to live far from home, raising a child alone in a foreign land was a heart-wrenchingly poignant thought.

Images even began to surface in Xu Fan’s eyes: Xu Yixue, heavily pregnant, buying groceries and cooking, taking a taxi alone to the hospital when she had a cold, queueing to register…

“It’s all because I didn’t handle things properly,” Xu Fan sighed faintly.

“You can’t say that. Although you have a responsibility, you were unaware,” Xu Yixue took a deep breath, and after voicing the bitterness in her heart, the heaviness seemed to dissipate considerably, her tone becoming gentle.

“Xiao Ning knew all about it. She actually wanted to go and settle the score with you, but I stopped her because I wasn’t ready to face you. While I don’t hate you, I don’t have a good impression either. Especially considering the rumors about you, they are terrible! I couldn’t gamble my happiness and my child’s future on you, so in the end, with nowhere to go, I had no choice but to flee the country.”

“In America, life was… difficult. The strange looks were full of incomprehension and ridicule, and I even suffered from prenatal depression for a time… Luckily, all my perseverance resulted in fate’s compensation, and I gave birth to Tongtong.”

“At that moment, my heart melted, and I was filled with new courage. For Tongtong, I had to be strong, no matter how hard or exhausting it was, I was willing.”

After finishing, Xu Yixue looked down at the little darling sleeping sweetly, her eyes filled with pity and love, radiating the magnificent glow of motherhood.

After listening, Xu Fan’s eyes also reddened, he hadn’t experienced it first-hand, but he deeply empathized, finding it all very bitter and hard.

“Originally, I was planning to continue living like that. But as Tongtong grew up, she kept asking me where her dad was, why didn’t her dad come to see us?”

“I couldn’t answer, only to lie that you’d gone to a faraway place and couldn’t come back for the time being; I would stave off the truth for as long as I could. But I knew she would find out one day.”

“Most importantly, because of the dad issue, Tongtong herself became unhappy and increasingly withdrawn.”

“I saw it and felt the pain in my heart. For Tongtong, even if I was reluctant to face you, I had to bring her to see you. It was not until I returned to the country, made some inquiries, and found out that as soon as I left the country, you were struck by a massive family misfortune, and it took a lot of effort to find out that you lived in Zhonghai…”

“That day, you were lying unconscious in a shabby and dark little rental room, drunk. I was utterly disappointed and even thought about walking away. But the child didn’t care, she was very happy because she finally saw her dad, her eyes brimming with joy and satisfaction.”@@novelbin@@

“My heart softened, and I decided to let her try to get along with you for a few days. Considering your miserable and down-and-out state, Tongtong would soon become completely disappointed and stop mentioning you, and then I would take her away… But the result…”

Xu Yixue’s eyes sparkled with bright light, and the corners of her mouth lifted unconsciously.

“The result is that I’m not as unbearable as I seem, but rather a treasure, right.”

“Hehe… Don’t flatter yourself.”

Xu Yixue chuckled, paused, and then said, “Alright, I admit you’re like a shining piece of gold, just fallen in the dirt. I’m lucky that Tongtong dug you out, and it’s really wonderful. Even after more than half a month has passed, I still feel like I’m in a dream.”

“So, I’ve gradually come to accept your presence, and I’m prepared for Tongtong to recognize you as her dad.”

“Tongtong and I share a blood bond deeper than anything, whether she recognizes it or not, I am her dad,” Xu Fan hummed confidently.

“Alright then, if it wasn’t for the little one being so sticky with you, I wouldn’t let you off the hook,” Xu Yixue said, with a fierce look in her beautiful eyes.

“Can’t help it, dads and daughters are bound to be close, you have to face the science,” Xu Fan teased, smiling.

Xu Yixue didn’t bother to engage in a war of words with him.

Anyway, today she had pretty much poured out everything in her heart, things she had never told a second person before, but because Xu Fan had already moved into her heart, she revealed everything without any guard, pouring her heart out.

The Audi A7 moved smoothly, driving towards the villas of Oriental Famous City.

Oriental Famous City was located on the banks of Pujiang River, where one could gaze upon the sprawling river. At night, the two banks were illuminated with dazzling lights, reflecting off the shimmering water, creating a kaleidoscope of captivating colors.

Across the road from Oriental Famous City lay the Innovation Industry Science and Technology Park, which had only been built a few years ago, housing twenty office buildings and hosting nearly a hundred companies. Four of these towering buildings faced the villas of Oriental Famous City, lined up in a row, matching in height, each with thirty-six stories and entirely leased by four large internet companies.

To found such sizable companies, the four CEOs naturally were extraordinary people, their wealth reaching into the tens of millions, placing them among the top echelons of Zhonghai City. At such a stature, they seldom worked in their offices.

But today, coincidentally, they all appeared at their companies at two in the afternoon and announced a message—

Before seven o’clock, everyone in the four buildings had to leave, all lights had to be turned off, and all devices like computers had to be confirmed shut down. Anyone who neglected this would be waiting to hand in their resignation the next day.

Although the message was received with confusion, the required tasks didn’t seem too troublesome. They could just head home early, those who wanted to binge-watch series could do so, gamers could play, and those planning to shop with their wives could enjoy their time. It would be a good chance to relax.

Consequently, other than a few security guards, after seven o’clock, the four buildings were completely empty.

Right after seven, a convoy comprised solely of buses started arriving at the base of the four buildings. A large number of robust men disembarked, splitting into two groups, half dressed in black, half in white, entering the four towers. They even took over the security guards’ duties, assuming responsibility for guarding the doors.

Bystanders nearby were stunned, some thought such a large group was here to demolish the buildings, and they started to stop and watch, exchanging speculations.

“Dude, do you know what’s going on?”

“How would I know? Look at all these people, they look well-trained, it’s not some kind of terrorist capture operation, is it?”

“Right, I remember you said your bestie works in that building, why not send her a message to ask?”

“Heh, I asked her already, she doesn’t know what’s happening either, just told us not to get close or there would be consequences.”

“That serious?”

“…”

For a while, more and more onlookers gathered, watching from a distance, many of them recording the scene with their cell phones.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone had arrived at their designated spots.

In each of the four tall buildings, a small squad was left behind, ranging from eight to ten members, each led by a squad leader who would receive orders via walkie-talkie.

At seven-thirty, the four individuals in charge checked in with the teams via walkie-talkie, “All teams report in.”

“Team one has arrived at the position, OVER!”

“Team two has arrived at the position, OVER!”

“…”

In total, one hundred and eight teams reported in sequence, confirming they were all in place.
