My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 579: Chapter 579: Deciding to Let Someone Go and Check
 

The owner of the small coffee shop witnessed the scene where Rong Nanfeng hit someone, and after the crowd had left, she stepped out and looked at Rong Yan, who remained seated in the original spot without moving. Concerned, she asked, “Rong Yan, are you okay?”

That slap from Rong Nanfeng was delivered with all his strength, numbing half of Rong Yan’s left face. She suppressed the various emotions in her chest, lifted her head, and barely shook it at the worried person, “I’m fine.”

“Your left cheek is swollen. Let me get you some ointment,” the owner said, noticing the bright red handprint on her face and was surprised by how harshly her father had hit her. She continued, not at ease, “You really should.”

“No need,” Rong Yan stopped her from getting the ointment, paid the money, and said, “I’d like to sit by myself for a while.”

Seeing that her mood was down, the owner didn’t insist on staying and hesitated before saying, “All right, Rong Yan, just sit and drink some water then. If you need the medicinal cream for the swelling, I have some. Just call me, and I’ll bring it over to you.”

“Okay, thank you.”

“No thanks needed. You’ve always come over to support my business and even directed KT Corporation’s staff to buy drinks here. I know, and I should be the one thanking you. Take a good rest, and call me if you need anything,” the owner gave her a radiant smile and considerately walked away.

Rong Yan sat for a while, then picked up her juice and drank.

The numbness on her left cheek had reached a point where she no longer felt the stinging pain, yet a buzzing noise still lingered in her ear. It showed how vicious Rong Nanfeng had been when he slapped her. If possible, Rong Nanfeng probably wanted to strangle her on the spot, like the countless times she had heard Old Madame Jiang speak of Jiang Meiqi.

How Jiang Meiqi had regretted not drowning her in the toilet after giving birth to her countless times.

Even though she was used to these things, her heart still couldn’t help but care about what Rong Nanfeng had said.

“Damn it,” Rong Yan took a deep breath and put down the glass she was holding. She touched her left cheek, which caused her temple to throb painfully. She pursed her lips and pulled out her phone. She made a call to Gu Linxi, “Xixi, help me track down a communication IP!”

Ten minutes later, Gu Linxi found the IP address behind the call made to the Rong Family and sent it to Rong Yan’s phone. She also sent a message asking what was happening.

Rong Yan noted down the address Gu Linxi sent her, didn’t mention the kidnapping of Rong Mu, and made up some random reason to brush it off.

She rummaged through her bag for concealer foundation and a small mirror. In front of the mirror, she used the concealer to cover up the slap mark on her face, reapplied her makeup completely, put on a cap, hiding half of her face. She got up, greeted the drink shop’s owner, and packed up her things. Then she headed towards the roadside…

Damn it, she didn’t want to deal with the Rong Family’s mess, but Rong Mu… was only 8 years old, still so young, and also a living, breathing person.

She couldn’t possibly do as Rong Nanfeng said, using Little Baby to exchange for Rong Mu. But after learning about the situation, she couldn’t remain indifferent and completely wash her hands of it; she couldn’t be that cold-hearted.

The address Xixi found for that phone call was in Capital City’s ‘Dark Night.’

She knew the place. All sorts of people mingled together there; it was full of all kinds of individuals, and of course, all kinds of activities.

Legal or illegal, it was both heaven and hell.

She’d go first to check it out. If Rong Mu was indeed there, she would see if she could find a way to sneak him out.
