Chapter 489: American Son?
Chapter 489: American Son?
In early July, students were on summer vacation, but Huang Xiaochuan's schedule was already full, including four academic exchange conferences. He had received more invitations than he actually attended these four conferences. Considering that it was not advisable to travel far with his daughter, Huang Xiaochuan chose these conferences held in Shanghai.
It's raining outside the office window. The plum rain season is still a while away, and the weather forecast says that the Jiangnan and Shanghai areas will continue to experience mostly cloudy and rainy weather for the next week.
This made Huang Xiaochuan feel a little irritable, probably because he hadn't seen the sun for a long time.
The phone on his desk rang, but Huang Xiaochuan didn't answer it immediately. He didn't want to do anything at the moment, so he just looked out the window and listened to the patter of the rain.
The phone rang three or four times before finally falling silent, and the room returned to quiet.
Unfortunately, the silence didn't last five minutes before Mai Guangde hurriedly knocked on the door and came in.
Displeased that the tranquility had been broken, Huang Xiaochuan frowned: "What's the rush?"
Before Mai Guangde could explain to Huang Xiaochuan, he said directly, "Mr. Huang, please call Catherine back immediately. She called you several times, but you didn't answer, so she came to me and said she has something very important to tell you."
Then Mai Guangde emphasized again: "He said the matter is extremely urgent, please contact her immediately."
"I see!"
Huang Xiaochuan waved for Mai Guangde to leave, then picked up his phone, which showed four missed calls, all from the United States.
Huang Xiaochuan called back using his mobile phone.
"What is it?"
Zhang Yun's voice on the phone sounded like she was about to cry, and she was very anxious: "Could you come to America?"
Huang Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment. He clearly felt that something was wrong. What was wrong with this woman?
"What happened?"
Zhang Yun sniffed and said, "Something terrible has happened. It's not convenient to talk about it over the phone. You need to come over right away. I've already called Zhang Sui, and she's arranged a plane to pick you up in Shanghai. Come as soon as possible!"
"What exactly happened? Why can't you tell me over the phone?" Huang Xiaochuan found this woman very strange. She called and said something had happened, and now she wants him to fly over immediately? Is she kidding me?
Knowing that she couldn't get Huang Xiaochuan to go to the United States without telling him the truth, Zhang Yun could only tell him the situation with a sob in her voice: "Your son has gone missing."
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaochuan was startled and quickly asked, "My son is missing? When did he go missing?"
But Huang Xiaochuan quickly realized something was wrong. Why was this woman, thousands of miles away, the first to know that his son was missing? And why did she call him from so far away? Why hadn't his in-laws and brother-in-law made a move? And why did he need to go to America if his son was missing?
For a moment, Huang Xiaochuan's brain almost crashed.
At this point, Zhang Yun gave the answer: "It's not your son in Shanghai, it's your son in America."
Huang Xiaochuan found this woman even more baffling. What was going on? When did I have a son in America?
"I'm telling you, don't joke around with me about this kind of thing." Huang Xiaochuan, who was already in a bad mood, warned Zhang Yun, somewhat annoyed.
"It's true, I'm not lying to you. The children are twins, both boys, born from your IVF treatment. They're three years old now. The missing one is the younger one, named Luca." Zhang Yun told Huang Xiaochuan everything in one go, afraid he wouldn't believe her.
Huang Xiaochuan felt dizzy; the news was something he couldn't process for a while.
He plopped down in the chair, his heart pounding at 150 beats per minute.
He quickly came to believe that this might be true, because it was Zhang Yun who had helped him contact the medical center for IVF back then. However, he never expected her to do something like this. She was simply insane, and he couldn't help but feel a burning hatred for this audacious woman.

But if the child really goes missing, it would be a real problem, and the first thing Huang Xiaochuan thought of was the word "kidnapping".
Despite his anger and resentment, Huang Xiaochuan decided to find his child first, and then settle accounts with this woman after finding the child.
"Have you called the police?"
"I've reported it, the police are here."
"I'm leaving right away, don't panic. Call my satellite phone anytime if there's any news."
Zhang Yun, on the other end of the phone, nodded repeatedly into the receiver: "Yes, yes, I know! I'm waiting for you! Hurry up and come!"
At this moment, a large group of police officers and FBI agents arrived at the Long Island Manor where Zhang Yun was staying. They were questioning the manor's butlers, servants, drivers, gardeners, and bodyguards, hoping to get some clues from them.
The child is missing, or more precisely, Luca is missing. Yawen is now under 24-hour police protection, and the legal team has also arrived. Zhang Yun needs them to provide her with legal advice and assistance at any time.
Luca had been missing for over ten hours. During this time, Zhang Yun personally led a team to search the Long Island beach until dark, but they couldn't find him. Feeling scared and worried, Zhang Yun immediately called the police. Since Zhang Yun had been donating to the New York Police Department, her situation naturally received the attention of the police.
Soon a large number of police officers appeared at the beach and the manor.
Xue Huilan was crying uncontrollably in the living room, which disturbed Zhang Yunxin, who had been trying to hold on.
"Mom, please stop crying, okay? If crying can bring Luca back, then keep crying."
After Luca went missing, Zhang Yun hesitated for a long time before deciding to notify Huang Xiaochuan to come to the United States. After all, he was Luca's father, and he was the only one she could rely on. She couldn't count on Xue Huilan; she was not as good as herself.
After speaking with Huang Xiaochuan on the phone, Zhang Yun felt a huge weight lifted from her heart. Now she was just waiting for him to arrive; she was sure he would find a way to bring her son back.
Huang Xiaochuan immediately sent his daughter to Lao Huang and Zeng Lijuan.
"Mom, I have to go on a business trip urgently. I'll leave Xiaoduo with you. Don't take her outside before I get back. I've brought all her usual things with me."
Seeing that her son had something urgent to attend to, Zeng Lijuan quickly said, "Work is important, so you go ahead and do your thing. Don't worry about Xiaoduo with your dad and me!"
"I've already visited my parents-in-law. They'll be taking care of Xiaodong for now. I'll pick him up when I get back."
Old Huang took his granddaughter's luggage and said, "No rush. Don't come back after you're done with your business. Let Xiaoduo stay with us for a few more days."
Huang Xiaochuan forced a smile and patted the little tyrant's head: "You have to listen to your grandparents and not be naughty, or I won't bring you a present when I come back."
Huang Ruiying said in her childish voice, "I'll be good, goodbye Daddy!"
As she spoke, she couldn't wait to run into the house on her short little legs.
Huang Xiaochuan not only sent his daughter to his parents' place, but also brought Da Gun and Qingqing with him. He also had Zhou Wei arrange two security teams to protect his son and daughter 24 hours a day.
After leaving his parents' house, Huang Xiaochuan asked Mai Guangde with a cold face, "Has the plane arrived?"
"We've arrived. They're refueling right now, and you can take off as soon as you get to the airport."
Huang Xiaochuan nodded: "Let's go!"
On the way to the airport, Mai Guangde reported the itinerary to Huang Xiaochuan.
"Due to the flight's length, the plane will need to land in San Francisco. Catherine has arranged for the 'Global Express' to meet you at San Francisco Airport. After transferring, you will fly directly to New York, saving you the time spent waiting for refueling and restarting. The total journey will take fifteen hours, and you are expected to arrive at Queens Airport at 5:50 PM local time on July 5th."
Huang Xiaochuan rubbed his temples and then said, "Okay!"
Then he remained silent with a cold face the whole way, and Mai Guangde could tell that his boss was in a very bad mood, so he didn't dare to say a word, but just urged the driver to go as fast as possible while ensuring safety.
