Chapter 1706: Chapter 1700 Setting Out Again to Find Soone
“Hmm, I understand. I was just saying it casually. With my and Xue Ling’s abilities, doing sothing is still quite easy. This ti, I won’t kill her, but I will make her pay a certain price.” Qin Xue also knew that killing soone required paying with one’s life, so she wouldn’t be that foolish. However, she could still do sothing behind the scenes.
“Alright, as long as you can ensure your own safety, then it’s fine for you to do it.” Chu Molin spoiled Qin Xue like this.
Clearly, what Qin Xue wanted to do went against his principles, yet he still agreed to let her do it. It was sothing he himself wanted to do anyway. Since his wife wanted to vent, then he would let her take action personally.
“Husband, having you is so wonderful.” Qin Xue snuggled into Chu Molin’s embrace, found a comfortable position, muttered softly, and slowly closed her eyes, falling asleep.
“Sleep well. Tomorrow is a new day. I will definitely bring the child back, I promise.” Chu Molin said as he withdrew the hand that had been massaging the acupuncture point on the back of Qin Xue’s neck, tucking her hair behind her ear.
After a tiring day, it was already late, yet Qin Xue still hadn’t gone to sleep. Seeing her worried expression, Chu Molin felt a pang of heartache while also worrying about the child. So, while Qin Xue was speaking to him, he naturally massaged her sleep-inducing acupuncture point without her noticing, hoping she would fall asleep sooner.
Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, Chu Molin let out a sigh. Recently, too many things had been troubling her—one wave hadn’t settled before another arose. How could she endure all this? Thankfully, he was here; otherwise, who knows what she might have done?
Chu Molin didn’t care whether she would bla him after waking up. He just wanted her to have a good rest and eat well. He wanted her happy every day. As for the troubleso matters, he would take care of them all.
Chu Molin held Qin Xue tightly and closed his eyes to rest. Even if he couldn’t fall asleep, he needed to maintain his energy for tomorrow to search for the child.
“After everyone finishes breakfast, take a careful look in the grass and on the trees to see if there are any marks. Qing Zhu didn’t return all night; I think she must be closely tracking the target. She might be worried that if she ca back, the target would disappear. If that’s the case, finding the child will be even harder.
If that’s truly the situation, then she must have left marks to make it easier for the ones coming after her to follow. So, while searching, everyone needs to be more attentive.” Qin Xue discussed things early this morning with Chu Molin. Chu Molin had analyzed Qing Zhu’s absence last night, and together they ca to this conclusion.
“Understood. Everyone, eat quickly. Once we’re done, we’ll set out.” Cloud also agreed with Qin Xue’s reasoning. She and her lady had already discussed this and reached the sa conclusion.
Yesterday, they had been too anxious and hadn’t considered the possibility of Qing Zhu leaving marks. Moreover, Chu Molin told them that the direction they searched yesterday was slightly off course.
Ji Dong hadn’t even had a chance to speak when everything was already discussed and decided. In the end, he quietly ate his breakfast. This group clearly wasn’t ordinary, especially those leading—they were exceptionally capable. So, he thought it best to just listen; after all, what they said was reasonable.
As everyone finished breakfast and prepared to depart, Nangong Shulan stood there watching them leave, hoping they could find the child. Otherwise, she would never find peace for the rest of her life. Although her daughter and son-in-law said it was an accident and that the incident was aid at the elder daughter, not blaming her, she still felt deeply guilty. If only she had been more vigilant, would this have prevented those people from finding any opportunity to strike?
