Zhang Jingshan was now in a difficult position.

Fabricating these explanations was a spur-of-the-moment decision.

It was because he remembered the psychological trauma Ye Chen had mentioned on the phone.

Therefore, he wanted to do everything possible to eliminate the psychological impact of this experience on Ye Youyou.

This led to the hastily conceived "game" explanation.

But now, being questioned by Youyou like this, he was struggling.

He couldn't worry about anything at this moment, nor did he have time to consider the plausibility of his explanation.

Forcing a smile, he said, "Because Youyou is different now! Your mom and dad, wanting Youyou to be braver and stronger in the future, worked with some people to play this game with Youyou, hoping that through this experience, Youyou can remain calm in the face of danger, become brave and strong, and also to tell Youyou through this game that no matter how dangerous it is, no matter what kind of bad people you encounter, Youyou doesn't have to be afraid, because your mom, dad, and I will always be Youyou's support!"

"As for why we didn't tell Youyou it was a game, well... if we told Youyou, then we wouldn't be able to test Youyou, right?"

These words made Zhang Jingshan's face flush.

Damn it, deceiving a child wasn't easy.

"Did my mom and dad also know this was a game?" Ye Youyou wiped her tears. She seemed not to be afraid anymore.

For adults, once a psychological shadow forms, it's very difficult to erase.

An adult's psychological shadow is like carving on a wooden board.

A child's psychological shadow, however, is like drawing on a blackboard. As long as it's timely and handled properly, it can be erased quickly.

"Of course, they knew! Didn't I say that even I was asked by them to cooperate with Youyou in this game?" Zhang Jingshan said.

Then he asked, "Is Youyou still afraid?"

"I'm not afraid anymore!" Ye Youyou shook her head.

"Really not afraid?" Zhang Jingshan asked.

"It's just that they were a little fierce, so scary!" Ye Youyou said hesitantly.

"They were playing the role of bad guys, so they had to be a little fierce. Otherwise, with our Youyou's cleverness, wouldn't you have seen through it immediately?" Zhang Jingshan said with a smile.

Being openly praised, the little girl's face immediately lit up.

Afraid that the little girl would ask more questions that he wouldn't be able to answer, Zhang Jingshan quickly said, "Alright, Youyou, the game is over. Youyou passed the test with flying colors! Now, let's go back to see Dad. I'll tell Dad all about Youyou's amazing performance!"

"Okay!" The little girl nodded, her tears turning into a smile.

Phew

Seeing that Ye Youyou seemed to have shed her fear, Zhang Jingshan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then took out his phone.

He dialed Ye Chen's number.

At this point, there were twenty minutes left before the three hours were up for sending the formula to the kidnappers' provided email address.

At the Yiren Ruxue customer service department, Ye Chen paced back and forth, constantly checking the time.

The anxiety on his face was obvious.

Suddenly, a policeman walked up to him. "Mr. Ye, you don't need to worry. We've received the latest update. We've found some clues about the kidnappers. Also, if the kidnappers call again and ask you to send the email, you can send it. Their email address has been locked by us. When you send the email, our technical staff will also..."

Before the plainclothes officer could finish speaking, Ye Chen's phone rang abruptly.

He took it out and saw Zhang Jingshan's name on the caller ID.

Ye Chen immediately stopped the officer.

He quickly answered the call anxiously, "Hello, Jingshan, what's the situation?"

"It's done. We're on our way back. It's not convenient to talk on the phone. I'll send a WeChat message. Pay attention to the content!"

Because Ye Youyou was beside him, Zhang Jingshan didn't dare to say too much.

Phew

At the Yiren Ruxue customer service department, the weight that seemed to be crushing Ye Chen was completely lifted. Excitement instantly filled his face. "Okay, I'm at Yiren Ruxue. I'll go back to Shanshujian immediately!"

After hanging up Zhang Jingshan's call, Ye Chen couldn't wait to run out.

"Mr. Ye, what are you doing?" the policeman asked anxiously.

"Youyou has been rescued!"

Leaving these words behind, Ye Chen rushed out.

The policeman was stunned.

The child had been rescued?

From Ye Chen's address to the caller, it seemed that Zhang Jingshan had rescued the child.

In the Porsche Cayenne returning to Shanshujian, Zhang Jingshan quickly typed a message in the WeChat conversation.

He briefly explained to Ye Chen what he had told Youyou, asking him to inform Chen Yinuo.

In the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon, seeing the content Zhang Jingshan sent, Ye Chen pursed his lips.

He typed "Thank you" and sent it back.

Then he sped back to Shanshujian.

He had to get back before Zhang Jingshan brought Youyou back to calm Chen Yinuo down.

Twenty minutes later, at Shanshujian, Building 6, Apartment 2102.

"Where's Youyou? Have you found Youyou?"

As soon as she saw Ye Chen return, Chen Yinuo, who was being accompanied by a policewoman, threw herself into Ye Chen's arms, her beautiful face devoid of color, and asked tearfully.

"We found her. Jingshan is bringing her back now, they're on the way! Also, in order to eliminate Youyou's psychological trauma from this experience, Jingshan made up a story, telling her it was a game, saying that we two arranged this game to test if she was brave and strong enough. Although this explanation is full of holes, children are children, so Youyou believed it. When Youyou gets home later, we must greet her in the best possible state to completely eliminate the psychological impact of this experience!"

Holding Chen Yinuo, Ye Chen said quickly.

"This, this, really? You're not lying to me?" Chen Yinuo was stunned, then started trembling with uncontrollable excitement.

"Do you think I would joke with you about this kind of thing? Quickly fix your makeup and emotions..." Ye Chen said.

"Okay, okay, I'll go now!"

Not daring to hesitate any longer, Chen Yinuo hurriedly ran into the room.

Another twenty minutes later, at the open door of apartment 2102, Zhang Jingshan walked in with Ye Youyou.

"Dad, Mom!"

As soon as she saw Ye Chen and Chen Yinuo, Ye Youyou instantly jumped excitedly into their arms.

No one could tell that she had just been kidnapped for several hours.

Of course, this was also thanks to Zhang Jingshan's constant coaxing and persuading on the way back.

"Youyou, you're the best!"

Ye Chen immediately picked up Ye Youyou and laughed loudly.

"Dad, I didn't know this was a game. It scared me to death! Can you tell me in advance next time we play a game like this?" Ye Youyou said with a giggle, completely believing that it had been a game from beginning to end.

Unbeknownst to her, these words made Ye Chen, Chen Yinuo, Zhang Jingshan, and the policewoman who hadn't left yet's hearts skip a beat.

Play this kind of game again?

No, definitely not!

"Youyou, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Mommy shouldn't have let you play this kind of game. We won't play it again, we won't play any of them!"

Taking Ye Youyou from Ye Chen's arms, Chen Yinuo, being a woman, couldn't help but sob.

"Mom, why are you crying? Actually, now that I think about it, it was quite fun. Those three Ultraman bad guys were fierce, but they were so funny. One of them even had snot running down his nose, giggle..." Not understanding why, Ye Youyou stretched out her small hand to wipe away Chen Yinuo's tears and giggled again.
