Actually, Lu Kenian was deliberately being vague.
She didn't want to be too direct, after all, Cold Thunder had been in a relationship with Chu Yun for three years, and they had been married for three years as well. Moreover, she had sacrificed her seven-year friendship for the sake of Chu Yun.
She knew that Cold Thunder cared deeply about Chu Yun.
If she directly accused Chu Yun of abusing Cold Haocheng, Cold Thunder would definitely not believe it. Even if he did believe it, he would confront Chu Yun face to face, which would put Chu Yun on guard.
It was better to say a few guiding words; he would think and guess on his own and eventually discover the truth.
Cold Haocheng remained still in Cold Thunder's embrace.
Seeing that Cold Haocheng had no injuries on him, the weight in Cold Thunder's heart finally lifted, and he dressed Cold Haocheng again.
"Xiao Bei, has your mother ever hit you? Has she ever scolded you?"
A flicker of fear flashed in Cold Haocheng's eyes as he hurriedly shook his head. "No!"
Cold Thunder finally sighed in relief; it seemed that Lu Kenian was just reminding herself and didn't mean anything special.
Cold Haocheng's gaze appeared somewhat vacant.
In the past few days, he had indeed spent time in Chu Yun's room, but every night, Chu Yun would bind his hands and feet and make him watch videos.
One of those videos showed a tiger attacking a man; she had found it on a foreign website.
When an adult man was torn apart by several tigers, with arms and legs scattered everywhere, Cold Haocheng was so frightened that he nearly fainted.
But he kept his mouth shut; he couldn't cry out or scream.
He closed his eyes, but Chu Yun forced him to open them, facing the bloody scene.
Chu Yun told Cold Haocheng that if he dared to say a word, he would meet the same fate!
Every night, he spent it this way, and at the same time, Chu Yun would apply medicine to his wounds to help him recover faster.
Because Chu Yun knew that the Cold Thunder would be back soon.
"Xiao Bei, Daddy is taking you to take a bath. After the bath, it's time for bed."
Cold Haocheng nodded obediently.
His sudden understanding made Cold Thunder feel a bit unaccustomed.
The next day was a group activity at kindergarten. Every so often, the kindergarten organized group activities, and this time the destination was the zoo.
A bus was driving on the way to the zoo.
The teacher was organizing the children to sing nursery rhymes. After a while, she asked everyone to quiet down.
"Children, let's settle down now and no more noise!"
Cold Haocheng sat quietly in the last row, his eyes showing a sense of unease.
"Teacher, are there really tigers in the zoo?" His voice was timid.
"Of course! There are real tigers in the zoo, just like those we see on TV."
"Then can I not go? I want to get off the bus; I want to go home!" Cold Haocheng suddenly shifted in his seat.
"Cold Haocheng! What are you causing trouble for again? We are almost at the zoo! You need to stay seated right now!"
Teacher Li pressed Cold Haocheng back into his seat and fastened his seatbelt again.
“Tigers dislike disobedient children the most!”
Cold Haocheng shivered in fear and dared not move again.
Seeing that he was no longer fidgeting, Teacher Li finally sighed in relief and returned to the front.
“This Cold Haocheng, he was doing well for just a few days, and now during group activities, he’s started acting up again,” Teacher Li complained.
“Ah, this is how children from wealthy families are. We can only hope he graduates soon,” another teacher chimed in.
Lu Xiaonan suddenly raised her hand, “Teacher, can we play a game now?”
Among the children, Lu Xiaonan appeared especially lively.
“Sure, Lu Xiaonan, do you have a good game in mind?”
“I often play the Big Watermelon and Little Watermelon game with my mom at home. You spread your hands wide and say ‘Little Watermelon,’ then you make your hands small and say ‘Big Watermelon!’ Can we do that, teacher?”
“That sounds like a great game; we can play it while sitting. Alright, the teacher agrees,” Teacher Li said as she patted Lu Xiaonan's little head.
“Children, we are going to play a game now. This game was suggested by Lu Xiaonan; let’s ask her to demonstrate, shall we?”
“Okay!” the children shouted in unison, while Cold Haocheng's eyes still flickered with fear.
Lu Xiaonan excitedly unfastened her seatbelt and stood at the front facing all the children.
“Look at this Lu Xiaonan; although she’s a bit shorter and just transferred here, she’s very obedient. Unlike that Cold Haocheng, who is such a headache.”
“Yes, I think so too. I wonder how Lu Xiaonan's parents educate her; she’s both smart and adorable. I really like her.”
The teachers were not stingy with their praise for Lu Xiaonan.

Due to a delay in her return home by one day, Lu Kenian did not go to the headquarters. The mall in City Z was large, with many items that M City wanted to buy but couldn't find.
She took this opportunity to go shopping.
While wandering around the mall, Lu Kenian's phone rang.
It was Lin Xiao calling.
"Have you gotten in the car?" Since Lin Xiao still had to continue her studies at the hospital and couldn't send them off, she specifically asked.
"Lin Xiao, we didn't go today. I changed the ticket to tomorrow. Xiao Nan is going to the zoo with her kindergarten teacher today, so we postponed it by a day."
"Oh, I see."
"I'm sorry, it was too late last night, and I didn't have time to tell you. I forgot this morning."
Lu Kenian felt a bit guilty; Lin Xiao always thought of them.
"It's okay. Just let me know when you're leaving tomorrow."
"Sure."
After hanging up, before Lu Kenian could put her phone away, it rang again. She thought it might be Lin Xiao calling back about something she forgot, but instead, she saw an unfamiliar number.
"Hello, is this Lu Xiaonan's parent?"
"This is Lu Xiaonan's mother. Is there something wrong?"
"I am a teacher from Nanhua Twin Fish Kindergarten! Our bus had an accident on the way to the zoo, please hurry to the Central City Hospital!"
"What?!"
"Don't worry too much, everyone was wearing seatbelts, the children are not seriously hurt."
Hearing the teacher say this, Lu Kenian felt somewhat relieved, but after all, it was still an accident!
She didn't dare to waste a moment; after hanging up, she immediately took a taxi to the Central City Hospital.
The Central City Hospital was already overcrowded due to the incident!
The entire emergency room was filled with parents and children, and some parents were even arguing loudly with the kindergarten teachers.
The sound of crying children filled the air.
Lu Kenian anxiously searched through the crowd one by one.
She didn't know any of the other parents well, and the only teacher she recognized was Teacher Li. Everyone was busy with their own matters, and she didn't know who to ask.
