He unexpectedly becomes a father at the start of his life, and the mother of his child is a national

The early morning atmosphere was quiet. Chen Hao woke up early, quietly got ready, and then went to the children's room to wake Sisi.

The little guy was half asleep, his eyelids drooping, his head nodding little by little, and he refused to get out of bed.

Chen Hao patiently and gently coaxed her, helping her put on the new sweatshirt that Lin Caiwei had just bought yesterday.

This pink sweatshirt was a style Lin Caiwei specially chose; it's loose and comfortable, just what kids like.

A soft, white kitten is printed on its chest, with a round face and a perky tail, making it look exceptionally cute.

Chen Hao helped Sisi pull up her collar, straighten the hem, and then bent down to put her little shoes on, tying them securely so that the child wouldn't feel uncomfortable when she ran around.

After tidying up, he bent down and picked Sisi up.

The little one's soft body nestled in his arms, her head instinctively resting on his shoulder, still looking sleepy and languid.

Chen Hao walked out of his house step by step, went straight into the underground garage of the community, walked to his car, opened the car door, and carefully put Sisi into the child safety seat in the back seat.

He patiently fastened the seatbelt, carefully checked it twice to make sure the buckle was secure and wouldn't come loose, and only then was he relieved.

Normally, Lin Caiwei would get up early to take Sisi to kindergarten. Today, Lin Caiwei had been busy for several days in a row and was exhausted both physically and mentally, so Chen Hao told her to rest at home and that he would take care of everything himself.

After Sisi sat down, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, blinked her big, clear eyes, looked up at her father driving, and asked softly:

"Dad, is Mom taking Sisi to school again today?"

While adjusting the car's rearview mirrors, Chen Hao responded softly:

"Mom is resting at home today, she's too tired. Dad will take Sisi to school today."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the brake, shifted into gear, and the car smoothly drove out of the underground parking garage.

The road at the entrance of the residential area is not wide to begin with, and both sides of the road are full of parked private cars, leaving very narrow passage. You need to be extra careful when driving.

Chen Hao slowly steered the wheel and steadily turned onto the main road. His years of driving habits made him subconsciously glance at the rearview mirror.

That casual glance stirred something within him.

A dark gray sedan was parked quietly by the roadside. The engine was running, and there was clearly a person sitting in the driver's seat.

The distance wasn't close, and the car window was dark, so he couldn't see the other person's eyebrows and expression, but that figure and posture seemed strangely familiar to him.

Chen Hao didn't think much of it at the time.

The area around the neighborhood is usually bustling with vehicles and pedestrians. The driver might just be someone temporarily parking to wait for someone, so there's no need for him to be overly sensitive.

So he looked away, focused on driving, and maintained a steady speed.

After driving steadily for two blocks, Chen Hao habitually glanced at the rearview mirror again.

This time, any lingering hope he had completely vanished.

The dark gray sedan that had just been parked on the side of the road in the residential area was now following behind his car.

There were three or four vehicles in between, moving at a moderate speed, and it always stayed steadily behind, maintaining a fixed distance.

Without making a sound, Chen Hao tentatively and gently turned the steering wheel, changing to the left lane.

Almost the instant he changed lanes, the gray sedan behind him also immediately adjusted its direction, moving to the left lane as well, remaining in its original position without getting closer or leaving him behind.

His sense of vigilance instantly heightened, and he gently applied the brakes to gradually reduce the car's speed.

As expected, the gray sedan behind also slowed down, maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

At this moment, alarm bells rang loudly in Chen Hao's mind.

Having spent many years in the business and art circles, he has seen many people who secretly spy and plot against him. This professional and restrained way of following is definitely not a coincidence.

It was obvious that the other party was targeting him; they were incredibly patient and their methods were steady, clearly indicating that they had prepared in advance.

But he remained remarkably calm, without the slightest panic or impulsive decision to accelerate and shake off his opponent.

Especially in situations like these, it's crucial to stay calm and collected. If you show any signs of panic, you'll fall completely into the opponent's rhythm.

He maintained a steady speed while driving normally, but his brain was working at lightning speed, quickly sorting out all the possibilities.

Who exactly is following me?

Are they paparazzi who specialize in staking out and photographing celebrities?

Or are they people who came for his hidden identity, "Haolin"?

He has been living a low-key life recently, spending time with his family, not participating in any public activities, and not having any conflicts with anyone. The only potential problem is Haolin's identity as an artist.

He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Sisi in the back seat.

The little one was completely unaware of what was happening outside, and was obediently lying by the car window, his little face pressed against the glass.

She watched the pedestrians and vehicles coming and going on the roadside with curiosity, humming a nursery rhyme she learned in kindergarten softly and sweetly, carefree.

Looking at the child's innocent and bewildered expression, Chen Hao's concerns deepened.

He absolutely could not let Sisi get involved in these troubles; he had to protect the child firmly.

He suppressed all distracting thoughts, quickly devised a plan, and did not drive to the kindergarten along the usual route.

At the next intersection, Chen Hao decisively turned the steering wheel and turned right onto a quiet side road with little traffic.

This narrow road is usually only used by nearby residents, and there are very few outside vehicles.

Without hesitation, the gray sedan behind them also turned right onto the side road, even taking the opportunity to close the distance between the two cars slightly.

Taking advantage of the clear lighting on the side road, Chen Hao could clearly see the other car's license plate number through the rearview mirror, remembering every number and letter perfectly.

However, the driver's appearance was still unclear. He was wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled down so low that it almost covered his entire face. Only a dark jawline was visible, making it impossible to tell his age or expression.

To thoroughly confirm the other party's purpose, Chen Hao deliberately circled the path twice, sometimes going straight and sometimes turning, testing the other party's patience.

No matter how he tried to get around it, the gray sedan stayed right behind him, maintaining a perfect pace, neither too fast nor too slow, never rushing in nor losing him. The trail was very clear.

Having fully realized that he was being closely watched, Chen Hao already had a clear plan in mind.

He stopped taking detours, turned the steering wheel steadily, and drove towards the large commercial street in the city center.

The city center commercial streets have high pedestrian and vehicle traffic, numerous shops, many entrances and exits, and a diverse mix of people, making them the easiest places to shake off pursuers and escape unharmed.

Even if the other party is very cautious, it is difficult to maintain accurate tracking in a crowded and noisy city.

The journey was smooth, and in about fifteen minutes, the car arrived safely at the downtown commercial street.
