Gu Qianqian finally burst into tears, choking as she asked, "Sister Xiao Wen, where are you going? Are Xiao Yu and Zishu okay?"
"Qianqian, don’t cry. Everything will be fine. Xiao Yu and Zishu will definitely co back safely, trust !"
Then Xiao Wen solemnly instructed, "Rember, you must wait here for your Big Brother Chu, don’t go anywhere.
Gu Mujun quickly promised, "Sister Xiao Wen, don’t worry, we will definitely stay here obediently and not cause you any trouble. Rest assured, we won’t be caught by anyone either."
Here were also a few children from the second and third uncles of the Gu Family, and they all made the sa promise. Reassured, Xiao Wen knew that even if soone wanted to do sothing, they couldn’t possibly target these seven or eight children, so she turned and ran in the opposite direction.
In a secluded corner, Xiao Wen ignited a spirit talisman to summon her Fire Phoenix Bird. After communicating with the Fire Phoenix Bird using mind power, Xiao Wen basically confird the direction of Gu Zishu and the little girl were pointing to the sa location.
Though it wasn’t an exact position, a rough estimate was enough.
She couldn’t act with Chu Chengfeng; there were so things she couldn’t let him see.
There was no one here, and it was very quiet. Xiao Wen ignited another spirit talisman, then took out a silver needle from her bag without hesitation and pierced it into her heart. When she removed the needle, a red blood bead hung from it. Xiao Wen flicked the blood bead onto the Fire Phoenix Bird.
At that mont, the Fire Phoenix Bird’s figure suddenly grew five tis larger than usual. Xiao Wen’s face was exceptionally pale, and her body was shaky, but she gritted her teeth and kept going.
Next, Xiao Wen quickly ignited two spirit talismans, applied invisibility talismans to both the Fire Phoenix Bird and herself, and the Fire Phoenix Bird landed on the ground. Xiao Wen mounted it, and despite being dizzy from using too much spiritual energy and heart’s blood, she bit her lip and cursed herself silently—why didn’t she train harder before? Now, in a critical mont, she found herself so helpless.
Xiao Wen’s eyes flashed with determination. With a slap on the Fire Phoenix Bird’s wing, it understood and soared into the sky, flapping its enormous wings as it swiftly flew in the direction of Qin Xiaoyu and Gu Zishu.
Chu Chengfeng put down the phone and quickly ran to the front gate, but he was surprised to find Xiao Wen had already left.
He pressed his thin lips, clenched his hands, and told himself that Xiao Wen was capable, stronger than him, and she would certainly be okay...
But his heart still sank.
Gu Qianqian was the calst among the children because she had encountered similar situations before.
After the initial panic and confusion, she cald down and asked, "Big Brother Chu, did you call the police?"
Chu Chengfeng nodded; it only took a mont before his voice turned hoarse, "Yes, I called the police. I’ve already told them to block all the exits out of the city."
The children were silent, each with a heavy heart. No one expected that what should have been a joyful outing would turn into such a situation. These were things that only happened in novels and TV shows, how could it happen in real life?
Yet, they had no choice but to accept that this was reality.
The anxious wait was only twenty-odd minutes, but for Chu Chengfeng, it felt like years. Shortly after, five vehicles approached from afar, three military vehicles and two police cars.
He hadn’t anticipated his friends and Fang Qing to act so swiftly, knowing that a joint military and police operation required higher-level approval.
There was no ti to ask why it was so fast.
Explaining the situation regarding Qin Xiaoyu and Gu Zishu to Fang Qing and Captain Choo from the divisional bureau, who had just gotten out of the car.
After exchanging opinions and reaching a consensus, everyone got into the cars. One military vehicle took several children from the Gu Family back to the Gu Family Mansion.
The remaining four vehicles sped off in the direction the little girl pointed to earlier.
Modern technology had improved a lot, and they used wireless walkie-talkies to communicate with other officers from inside the car.
Fang Qing frowned tightly, never expecting that the chief’s sister would be abducted in broad daylight in Jinling City. How would he explain this to the chief?
anwhile, the Qin Family and Gu Family in the Imperial Capital were unaware of Qin Xiaoyu’s disappearance. Chu Chengfeng didn’t dare inform them. When he called the Gu Family and Qin Family, he asked for Qiaoqiao; no one answered at the Qin Family, evidently, no one was ho, and Lian Yuhong answered at the Gu Family. She told Chu Chengfeng that Gu Qiaoqiao was at the Qin Family.
Failing to find Gu Qiaoqiao, Chu Chengfeng had to give up because he had previously called Qin Yize but couldn’t get through. He had to entrust the operator to convey an urgent ssage to Qin Yize.
When Gu Qiaoqiao returned to the Gu Garden, Lian Yuhong imdiately told her, "Qiaoqiao, just now Chu Chengfeng called, saying he urgently needed to find you. I asked him what it was about, but he wouldn’t tell ."
Gu Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow in surprise. Chu Chengfeng should be in Jilin City now. What urgent matter could he have?
Suddenly, her heart sank, could sothing have happened?
Otherwise, why would Chu Chengfeng be calling her?
So Gu Qiaoqiao quickly rushed to the phone to call Qin Yize, but unfortunately, Qin Yize didn’t answer.
Gu Qiaoqiao then called the Gu Family Mansion, where Aunt Lian answered lightly, saying that Chu Chengfeng and Xiao Wen had taken the children out to play and wouldn’t be back for lunch.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t ask further, gave so generic responses then hung up.
At this mont, she couldn’t get in touch with Chu Chengfeng either.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s face was anxious, and Lian Yuhong, sensing sothing was off, worriedly approached her and asked, "Qiaoqiao, what’s going on? Why do you look so unwell?"
Gu Qiaoqiao hesitated, looking at her mother. Even if sothing indeed happened, she couldn’t tell her temporarily, so Gu Qiaoqiao forced a smile and said lightly, "Mom, you’re overthinking. There won’t be any problem. I bet Sister Xiao Wen bullied Chu Chengfeng again, and he’s calling to complain..."
"Really?" Lian Yuhong asked suspiciously.
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, "Otherwise, what else could it be? It’s not like it’s Ah Ze looking for ."
That made sense. Lian Yuhong nodded and said, "I’ll go cook. What do you want for lunch?"
Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t care less about food right now, but to not rouse Lian Yuhong’s suspicion, she pretended to be calm and said, "Mom, anything you make is fine, I like everything."
