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

Chen Hao carefully observed for several minutes, repeatedly confirming that there were no suspicious persons or unfamiliar vehicles parked around, and that everything around him was normal and there was no unusual activity, before he was finally able to relax completely.

He then hailed a passing taxi and gave them the address of his residential complex.

After getting into the car, he immediately took out his phone, unlocked the screen, and dialed Lin Caiwei's number.

The phone rang a few times before being answered. Lin Caiwei's languid voice, heavy with sleepiness, came through the receiver. She sounded like she had just woken up and was still a little groggy.

"Feed? What's wrong, honey?"

Chen Hao didn't waste any time, his tone calm and direct: "Someone is following me."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone. The previous drowsy and lazy atmosphere vanished instantly, and Lin Caiwei's voice suddenly became clear and tense, with obvious panic:

"What? Following you? Who is it? Where are you? Are you okay?"

"I don't know who the other party is. It was a gray sedan, and it had been following me since the entrance of our residential area," Chen Hao calmly and truthfully reported.

"But don't worry, I've completely shaken them off in the mall and they haven't caught up with me."

Lin Caiwei's biggest concern was the child's safety, so she immediately asked anxiously, "Are you alright? How about Sisi? Was the child frightened?"

"I'm perfectly fine. Sisi was completely unaware of what happened. I got her to kindergarten safely," Chen Hao carefully instructed.

"You're home alone now, so immediately lock all the doors and windows. No matter what noises are going on outside or who's knocking, don't open the door for strangers. Just stay home and wait for me to come back."

"Okay, okay, I'll go lock the door right away." Lin Caiwei's voice was trembling slightly, and her nervousness and unease were clearly evident.

"Chen Hao, think carefully, who could it be? We haven't offended anyone recently."

Chen Hao leaned against the car window, his mind quickly reviewing all the relevant people and events. After a few seconds of contemplation, he said with certainty:

"We can't be 100% sure yet, but the most likely explanation is that it's related to Yu Mobai."

"My grandfather's old friend, the president of the calligraphy and painting association?" Lin Caiwei immediately realized.

"Yes." Chen Hao nodded in confirmation. "He was too obsessed. He kept trying to find out Haolin's true identity and tried every means to find me."

I've been trying to get information from Grandpa for a while now, and I guess they've been scrutinizing us more closely lately; they're probably keeping an eye on us.

Lin Caiwei remained silent for a long while on the other end of the phone, her tone hesitant:

"Then I'll call Grandpa now and ask him if he's seen Yu Mobai recently, or if there's anything unusual about him?"

"Don't mention directly that someone is following me. Don't alert them," Chen Hao immediately stopped him, giving him detailed instructions.

"Just subtly inquire whether Yu Mobai has recently visited Grandpa or shown any unusual behavior."

"If Grandpa finds out I'm being followed, he'll be hot-tempered and definitely confront Yu Mobai on the spot. That would escalate the situation and make things difficult to handle."

"I understand, I'll listen to you, I'll ask carefully," Lin Caiwei replied earnestly.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao put away his phone, leaned back quietly in the taxi seat, and looked out the window at the street scene rushing past.

After repeatedly considering the ins and outs of the whole matter, Yu Mobai, as the president of the calligraphy and painting association, was seen by outsiders as a highly respected senior.

It's quite unexpected that they would resort to such underhanded tactics as secretly following and spying on others.

Soon, the taxi arrived at the entrance of the residential area.

After paying the fare, Chen Hao quickly got out of the car, paused briefly at the entrance of the residential area, and carefully scanned the street, traffic, and pedestrians behind him again. Only after confirming that there were no tails and it was completely safe did he swipe his card to enter the building.

The elevator quickly ascends to the corresponding floor.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Chen Hao saw that his apartment door was slightly ajar.

Lin Caiwei was peering through the crack in the door when she saw him return. Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled, and she immediately opened the door to greet him.

Her face was extremely pale, and the dark circles under her eyes were even more pronounced than yesterday, clearly indicating that she was extremely uneasy and had been waiting anxiously without calming down.

"You're finally back." Lin Caiwei grabbed Chen Hao's arm, her hands icy cold. She looked him up and down carefully, as if afraid he might have even the slightest injury.

"Are you hurt? Is everything alright?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm not hurt at all." Chen Hao said gently, trying to reassure her as he changed his shoes.

"It was just a false alarm; I was simply being secretly followed the whole way."

Lin Caiwei closed the door tightly and locked both locks from the inside to prevent any possibility of outsiders entering.

She followed Chen Hao into the living room, her nerves taut. She slowly sat down on the sofa, her hands tightly clasped together, her fingertips turning slightly white from the force, her face filled with anxiety and unease.

"I just called Grandpa," Lin Caiwei said, her voice trembling slightly.

After Chen Hao sat down, he turned to look at her: "What did Grandpa say? What's the situation with Yu Mobai?"

"Grandpa said that Yu Mobai came to see him yesterday and they sat and talked for a long time, asking all sorts of questions about Haolin. He asked very detailed questions and didn't miss any details."

Lin Caiwei slowly repeated her grandfather's words, her tone full of worry.

"Grandpa kept saying that he didn't know Haolin's identity and knew nothing, and in the end he managed to send Yu Mobai away."

Grandpa said that when Yu Mobai left, his face was extremely pale, and he looked full of resentment.

After speaking, she looked up at Chen Hao, her expression carrying a hint of uncertain guess:

"Chen Hao, do you think he saw Grandpa come to our house yesterday? So he secretly wrote down our address?"

Or did you memorize our license plate number, track our way here, and then lie in wait to follow you this morning?

Chen Hao thought about it carefully for a moment and slowly nodded: "That's probably the case."

Grandpa came over for a visit yesterday, and Yu Mobai must have accidentally bumped into him.

He couldn't find any clues about Haolin, and when he saw Grandpa come to our house, he naturally became suspicious, followed the trail, and located our residence.

Upon hearing this, Lin Caiwei's unease intensified, and her tone became noticeably flustered:

"So what do we do now? He already knows we live here. What if he comes knocking on our door? What if he exposes your identity in public and reveals everything?"

"Don't be afraid, don't panic." Chen Hao reached out and firmly grasped her icy hand, the warmth of his palm slowly transferring to her, calmly reassuring her.

"Even if he really comes to my door, he can't do anything to me."

I've kept a low profile and hidden my identity simply because I didn't want to be disturbed by the outside world, and I didn't want you and Sisi to be caught up in public opinion. It wasn't because I was afraid of him, nor was it because I was afraid of being exposed.
