Chapter 253 Protect Your Grandson

Liu Bao carefully observed Tan Xiangchen for a long time and secretly felt that the grandfather in front of him was a good person.

So she mustered up her courage, stepped forward and said to Tan Xiangchen, "Grandpa, we want to go home."

He paused, then continued, "But we need to get our bags back. Only then can we leave here and reconnect with the outside world."

Upon hearing this, Tan Xiangchen became instantly agitated. He gripped Liu Bao's hand tightly and said, "Alright, Grandpa will definitely help you. You are my own grandsons!"

Da Bao and Liu Bao looked at Tan Xiangchen with puzzled expressions. Da Bao couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, are you our grandpa? But we always thought Grandpa had passed away."

A trace of sadness flashed in Tan Xiangchen's eyes as he slowly said, "I am your grandfather, and Tan Zhengchu is my son."

Da Bao's eyes widened in disbelief as he asked, "Grandpa, are you really still alive?"

Tan Xiangchen sighed and said, "A fire destroyed my life. In recent years, although I have lived, it has been as if I were dead."

Hearing this, Liu Bao felt a pang of heartache. He grasped Tan Xiangchen's hand and said earnestly, "Grandpa, when we go back, we'll take you with us. Our whole family misses you very much."

A glint of expectation flashed in Tan Xiangchen's eyes as he asked, "What about your grandmother? How is she doing now?"

Da Bao quickly replied, "Grandma is doing very well. She would be so happy if she knew you were still alive."

Upon hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed in Tan Xiangchen's eyes.

Seeing this, Da Bao and Liu Bao quickly stepped forward to comfort Tan Xiangchen. They each took one of Tan Xiangchen's hands and said, "Grandpa, don't be sad, let's go for a walk together."

So the three of them strolled together in the garden, enjoying the beautiful sunset and starry sky.

Liu Bao gazed at the starry sky and said, "Grandpa, if my little sister Qi Bao were here, she would definitely love this view too."

Da Bao then introduced to Tan Xiangchen, "Grandpa, we also have five brothers and sisters, we are septuplets."

With a proud smile on his face, he continued, "Especially Qibao, she's so cute and clever. With her around, the house is lively and bustling every day."

Upon hearing this, Tan Xiangchen was filled with surprise and anticipation, saying, "Septuplets? That's incredible! I really want to see Qibao soon."

Liu Bao remembered his bag and pleaded with Tan Xiangchen again, "Grandpa, can you help us get our bag back? It contains our tools for self-rescue and communication with the outside world."

Tan Xiangchen nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, Grandpa promises you, I'll secretly take the schoolbag back from Li Yumei when we get back."

Tan Xiangchen looked up at the sky, stood up and said, "It's getting windy, let's go back."

His eyes were firm, and he made up his mind that this time, he would take the initiative to talk to Li Yumei and make sure to meet his grandsons' requests.

He silently vowed to protect his grandchildren and never let them suffer any injustice here.

……

After driving for a whole day, Tan Zhengchu and his group finally arrived in Futian Town.

Based on the clues they had gathered, they determined that the car carrying Liu Bao and Da Bao had roughly driven to this location.

Su Yingxue gazed out the car window as darkness fell, her heart filled with worry. She couldn't help but turn to Tan Zhengchu and softly ask, "Zhengchu, will our child really be here?"

Tan Zhengchu reached out and took Su Yingxue's hand, gently comforting her, "Yingxue, don't worry, I will definitely find the children. Believe me, they are definitely here."

After saying that, he gently patted his shoulder and said, "Lean on my shoulder and rest for a while. You must be tired from the journey."

Tan Zhengchu's eyes were bloodshot; he looked exhausted from not sleeping all night and the long car ride. But his eyes held a resolute determination. He knew his two sons' love for him and secretly vowed that he would find his children no matter what.

Su Yingxue looked at Tan Zhengchu with eyes full of trust. She believed in Tan Zhengchu's abilities and that they would definitely find the child.

Looking at Su Yingxue's exhausted appearance, Tan Zhengchu said with heartache, "Yingxue, get some rest and conserve your energy. We still need to continue looking for the child tomorrow."

Soon, the group arrived at the best hotel in Futian Town. This inn had already been booked in advance by Lao San and his companions.

The innkeeper was very welcoming, directing the parking at the entrance. After the five cars were parked smoothly, Tan Zhengchu got out first, walked quickly to Su Yingxue's car door, gently opened it, and said with a smile to Su Yingxue, "Yingxue, let's get out and go have dinner."

Li Yuzhu came along as well. Actually, Tan Zhengchu originally didn't want her to come, worried that she would be upset by the past grievances. But Li Yuzhu insisted on coming, saying firmly, "I must come. I need to face the past grievances, and more importantly, I need to protect my grandson."

Her gaze was firm as she continued, "I'm willing to trade myself for my grandson. No matter how Li Yumei tortures me, I can endure it."

When Su Yingxue saw Li Yuzhu, she was filled with concern. She stepped forward and asked softly, "Auntie, how are you feeling? You must have had a long journey."

Li Yuzhu responded with a faint smile: "I'm fine. Don't treat me like an old man. I'm still very healthy."

Su Yingxue quickly explained, "Auntie, that's not what I meant. I was just worried about your health."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuzhu reached out and grasped Su Yingxue's hand tightly, saying gratefully, "Thank you for your concern, Yingxue."

Tan Zhengchu felt very relieved to see that the relationship between his mother and daughter-in-law had improved.

Tan Zhengfan was still worried about Li Yuzhu's condition. He walked over to Tan Zhengchu and asked in a low voice, "Brother, will Mom have a relapse?"

Tan Zhengchu patted Tan Zhengfan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Lin Quan and a psychiatrist are with us. If Mom has a relapse, they will treat her promptly."

The group then entered the restaurant.

The table was laden with local specialties. Although the dishes were not lavish, they were all things they couldn't usually get in the city.

Everyone sat down together and began to enjoy dinner, recharging for tomorrow's search operation.
