Once Sheng Yeting asked, Bao pursed his lips in a miserable look and replied, “I was locked up by the bad aunt. The bad aunt didn’t allow me to see my mommy and she asked me to stay here. She said if I misbehaved, she would…she would let those two baddies hit me.”

Bao pointed at the men who held him in custody, saying hatefully, “These two, these are the baddies, together with that bad aunt!”

Sheng Yeting’s eyebrows tangled in an accusatory frown and he tilted his head to glance at the two men. When they felt his ice cold gaze they lowered their heads, terrified.

“But I’m not afraid of them at all!” Bao shook off the miserable look he had just now and said cheerfully, “Because I knew that Daddy would come to save me!”

Bao hugged Sheng Yeting's neck and leaned to him. The soft, waxy voice of a child fell into Sheng Yeting's ears, and his cold heart was rather touched.

The bodyguard at his side saw that his boss didn’t resist Bao's touching and they could obviously feel that the cold vibe which their boss always gave off had become much lighter.

The two bodyguards were somewhat dumbfounded. This was the first time that they saw their boss being like that.

“Hmm…why did that bad aunt want to lock you up?” asked Sheng Yeting. He remembered that Xia Xingcheng said that Bao was hidden by her father but she didn’t say the reason. He was merely asking without thinking much and did not expect that a little kid like Bao would say something of value.

However, beyond Sheng Yeting’s expectations, Bao was much cleverer than he thought.

“After Daddy left the hospital that day, Grandpa let the bad aunt take me away to lock me up and didn’t let me see Mommy. The bad aunt said that if I was locked up, Mommy would do what grandpa asked her to do.” Speaking of this, Bao snorted heavily. "Bad aunt and Grandpa are all bad people! They bully Mommy and me!” Although Bao was little, he could speak logically.

Sheng Yeting was more or less in shock after hearing what Bao said. That Mr. Xia’s actions were nothing less than kidnapping, and he dared to do such things to his birth daughter and his grandson. What kind of father was he?

Sheng Yeting couldn’t help recalling Xia Xingcheng who burst into his room earlier; “President Sheng, this is really an accident. I thought Bao was brought to this room and I was here to look for him.”

What she had explained to him was echoing in his ears. Sheng Yeting felt a rush of annoyance. ‘It seems like I really misunderstood her.’

But it had nothing to do with him! He lowered his head, looking at Bao in his arms. Bao gave him a sweet smile with a pair of clear and pure eyes. His heart couldn’t help but immediately melt. A sigh spilled from his lips, Sheng Yeting held Bao tightly, turned around and strode out.

Seeing that he was going to take the child away, the two men guarding Bao hurried and rushed to snatch the child, but they were stopped by the bodyguards of Sheng Yeting. They could do nothing but watch the child being carried away.

Sheng Yeting took the child back to his room, put him down, took his phone and handed it to Bao. "Call your mother and ask her to come and pick you up."

Bao took the phone and after staring at it for a while he looked up at Sheng Yeting, asking, "What about Daddy? Don't you take Mommy and me home?"

What a naive question! Sheng Yeting was suppressing the flooding impatience from the bottom of his heart and explained dryly, "Little fellow, I'm not your father. Don't call me Daddy anymore."
