Chapter 256 Good News and Bad News
Upon hearing this, Tan Zhengchu's lips curled up slightly, his inner joy almost overflowing.
But he quickly suppressed his emotions and asked in a low voice, "Where exactly is it located?"
After hanging up the phone, Tan Zhengchu stood there for a long time without moving.
The images of his two sons flashed through his mind.
Da Bao's cleverness and Liu Bao's composure mean they are never children who can be manipulated.
"As expected, my son will not disappoint me," he thought to himself.
He didn't expect to receive their signal so quickly.
I originally thought it would take more time, and I was even prepared for a long search.
But to our surprise, they found an opportunity so quickly.
"Boss, the location is about a two-hour drive from here," the third brother's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Tan Zhengchu's eyes shone even brighter.
Two hours isn't far.
"Okay, I understand," he said in a low voice. "You all get a good rest tonight, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning."
"Understood!" the third brother answered crisply.
After hanging up the phone, Tan Zhengchu walked to the window and looked at the night view in the distance.
His heart was pounding, as if he could already see his two sons standing in front of him.
He turned and glanced at Su Yingxue on the bed.
Her brows had relaxed, and her breathing had become steady.
Tan Zhengchu's lips curled up slightly.
"She'll be so happy if she wakes up tomorrow morning and hears this news," he thought to himself.
Su Yingxue was constantly worried about the safety of her two children, and even had trouble sleeping at night.
Now, there is finally hope.
Tan Zhengchu gently walked to the bedside and tucked the blanket around Su Yingxue.
Then, he walked to the table, turned on the computer, and began to check the location information sent by his third brother.
On the map, a flashing red dot stands out.
"We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning," he murmured to himself, a determined glint in his eyes.
The night was still deep, but a light shone in Tan Zhengchu's heart.
He knew that the day he would find his son was not far off.
At that moment, Su Yingxue on the bed seemed to sense something, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a relieved smile.
Tan Zhengchu looked at her, his heart softening.
"Sleep well, everything will be alright tomorrow," he said softly, as if making a promise to her.
In the room, only the even breathing sounds and the soft tapping of Tan Zhengchu's keyboard remained.
……
Inside the room, Liu Bao and Da Bao lay on the bed, their eyes fixed on the ceiling, their gazes shining brightly.
Their hearts were filled with longing for their families and anticipation of returning home soon.
Da Bao broke the silence first. He turned to Liu Bao, his voice tinged with worry, and asked, "Liu Bao, do you think Daddy and the others can see the locations we send? We're so far from home, I'm a little worried they won't receive them."
Liu Bao answered without hesitation, "Da Bao, don't worry, Mommy and Daddy are so smart, they'll definitely see it. They've definitely been keeping an eye on our movements."
In fact, Liu Bao was already certain in his heart that his family members were probably on their way.
Upon hearing Liu Bao's words, Da Bao turned to the side, his eyes instantly lighting up with trust, and said, "I believe in Mommy, she definitely won't abandon us."
After saying that, the two smiled at each other, and Liu Bao said softly, "Da Bao, goodnight."
Da Bao responded gently, "Liu Bao, goodnight."
Then, the two little ones closed their eyes, preparing to fall asleep. They were very calm, and their goodnight to each other was full of care and concern.
That night, Liu Bao and Da Bao slept exceptionally well. They didn't have any nightmares, nor did they feel the frustration they had the night before. They both firmly believed that Daddy and Mommy would come to pick them up soon.
……
The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, and a refreshing coolness filled the air.
Su Yingxue woke up early, turned her head, and saw that Tan Zhengchu was still fast asleep.
His brows furrowed slightly, as if he were pondering something even in his dream.
Su Yingxue reached out her hand tenderly and gently stroked his brow, trying to smooth out the wrinkles.
Just then, Tan Zhengchu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze still somewhat hazy.
He held Su Yingxue's hand, his voice low and gentle: "Awake?"
Su Yingxue smiled slightly and nodded.
"You always frown when you sleep, and it breaks my heart to see it."
Tan Zhengchu's lips curled up slightly as he pulled her a little closer.
"I'm used to it, I can't change it."
Su Yingxue sighed softly, her fingertips still lingering on his brow.
"Don't always sleep with your brows furrowed; it's bad for your health."
Tan Zhengchu took her hand and gently kissed it.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
He paused, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.
"By the way, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
Su Yingxue's heart tightened suddenly, and the smile on her face froze instantly.
"Is it... about the sons?"
Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of worry.
Upon seeing this, Tan Zhengchu couldn't help but pinch her nose.
"You always think the worst."
Su Yingxue bit her lip, a tear welling up in her eyes.
"How can I not be worried? They've been missing for so long..."
Tan Zhengchu sighed softly and hugged her even tighter.
"Would you like to hear the good news or the bad news first?"
Su Yingxue said almost without hesitation, "Bad news! Hear the bad news first!"
A sly glint flashed in Tan Zhengchu's eyes as he deliberately dragged out his words.
The bad news is—
He paused for a moment, and seeing Su Yingxue almost holding her breath in nervousness, he couldn't help but laugh.
"The bad news is, you have to get up."
Su Yingxue was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and couldn't help but punch his chest.
You scared me to death!
Tan Zhengchu smiled and held her hand, his eyes full of doting affection.
"Seeing how nervous you are, I can't bear to tease you."
Su Yingxue sat up in bed and glared at him.
"What about the good news?"
Tan Zhengchu also got up and walked towards the bathroom.
"Good news..."
He deliberately kept everyone in suspense, picked up his toothbrush, and slowly squeezed on the toothpaste.
Su Yingxue hurriedly followed him inside and stood behind him, pressing him for answers.
"Tell me quickly!"
Tan Zhengchu turned around and handed her a toothbrush with toothpaste already squeezed out.
"The good news is that I have received my sons' location and I will be able to see them today."
Su Yingxue's eyes lit up instantly.
"Really? Are they alright?"
Tan Zhengchu nodded, his eyes full of determination.
"Don't worry, they're fine."
Su Yingxue was so excited that she hugged his neck tightly, her voice choked with emotion.
"That's great...that's great..."
