After washing the handkerchief, Huang Qinqin gently wiped Nuonuo's tender little face.

After wiping her face, Nuonuo looked up and gave Huang Qinqin a shy smile. Huang Qinqin felt her heart melt instantly. Nuonuo was already adorable with her pink and soft skin, and her smile was even more irresistible.

Huang Qinqin instantly felt that if her daughter were just as adorable, it wouldn't be a bad idea for her to get married and have a baby right now!

...

Not long ago at the supply and marketing cooperative

Grandma Fang planned to buy some White Rabbit milk candy from the candy counter because Nuonuo especially liked it. She asked Grandpa Fang to watch over Nuonuo.

Grandpa Fang nodded to Grandma Fang to indicate that he understood, then picked up Nuonuo and planned to stand aside and wait for her. However, they happened to run into their neighbor, Grandpa Gao, who was coming to buy something, and they started chatting.

After chatting for a while, I looked back at Grandma Fang and found her looking at the chicken cake again, and she was getting a little tired from holding Nuonuo.

He put Nuonuo down, took Nuonuo's hand and said, "Nuonuo, you have to hold Grandpa's hand tightly, okay? Don't let go, okay?"

Nuonuo nodded vigorously, her cheeks jiggling, making everyone's hands itch. Grandpa Fang couldn't resist rubbing Nuonuo's little face.

Then he started chatting with Grandpa Gao. As they chatted, he unconsciously let go of Nuonuo's hand without Grandpa Fang noticing. Nuonuo saw that Grandpa had let go of her hand, opened her little hands and grabbed at the air, then stood obediently next to Grandpa.

Seeing that Grandpa Fang and Grandpa Gao had their backs to her, and that Grandma Fang wasn't next to Nuonuo, He Erni pretended to buy something and went into the supply and marketing cooperative.

Then, he cautiously approached Nuonuo, moving slowly while observing whether Grandpa Fang and the others were looking over. Then, he picked Nuonuo up and ran out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

After running out the door, he looked back and realized that Grandpa Fang hadn't noticed him, so he quickened his pace and headed towards the countryside.

After Grandma Fang bought the White Rabbit milk candy, the salesperson told her that they also had sponge cake today and asked if she wanted to buy some.

When Grandma Fang heard this, she bought some more sponge cakes. When she walked over to Grandpa Fang, she didn't see Nuonuo.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she asked Grandpa Fang in a trembling voice, "Old man! Where's Nuonuo? I haven't seen Nuonuo!"

Grandpa Fang pointed to the side of himself, then turned around and said, "Nuonuo is right here, huh?! Where's Nuonuo?! Nuonuo! Nuonuo!"

Before he could finish speaking, Grandpa Fang realized that Nuonuo was missing and immediately started calling out at the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Old Gao, have you seen Nuonuo?!"

Grandpa Gao: "No! It was just here a moment ago!"

In that instant, Grandma Fang felt dizzy and everything went black. She couldn't help but loosen her grip on what she was holding tightly.

Then, she completely lost control of her body and fell straight to the ground.

Fortunately, Grandpa Fang reacted quickly. He rushed forward and caught Grandma Fang, who was about to fall, and cried out anxiously, "Old woman! Old woman! Please don't get hurt! Don't scare me!"

With Grandpa Fang's help, Grandma Fang finally managed to stand up again, but she still felt an unusual discomfort in her chest, as if a huge rock was pressing down on her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

She struggled to raise her hand and gently rubbed her chest, trying to ease the discomfort. After a while, she finally caught her breath and then tightly grasped Grandpa Fang's hand.

Her voice trembled as she said, "Quick... old man... hurry to the Revolutionary Committee and find the leader... ask him to help us find Nuonuo! I'm sure Nuonuo has been taken away! Nuonuo is such a good girl, she couldn't have run off on her own!"

Before she could finish speaking, tears welled up in her eyes like a burst dam.

Grandpa Fang readily agreed, "Okay! Okay! I'll go ask the eldest brother for help right away."

"Old Gao, could you please watch over my wife for me first? I'm going to find the boss now. Thank you." With that, he hurriedly ran out.

Seeing this sudden turn of events, Grandpa Gao didn't know what to do. He could only offer a dry, comforting words: "Sister-in-law, don't worry too much. Nuonuo will definitely be alright..."

After Grandma Fang calmed down, she still couldn't stop crying. After all, so many children were abducted, and not many could be found. The more she thought about it, the more her heart ached. She was filled with hatred!

Why didn't she take Nuonuo with her when she went shopping?! What if... what if she really couldn't find Nuonuo? She's her only daughter...

Revolutionary Committee

Grandpa Fang rushed to the Revolutionary Committee, almost out of breath. Leaning on the table, he anxiously said to the staff member next to him, "Could you please find Fang Hui for me? I have something urgent to discuss with him. Thank you!"

The staff members nearby found it amusing and thought to themselves: Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just see Fang Hui whenever you want?

Just as he stood up, intending to tell Grandpa Fang to leave, another staff member, Mo Daqi, saw him and ran over. He helped Grandpa Fang sit down and said politely, "Grandpa, please sit down for a moment. I'll go and call Director Fang out for you right now."

He then gestured with his eyes to another staff member, Yan Hongjun, and said, "Go and pour the old man a glass of water."

Mo Daqi had previously encountered Fang Hui dining with this old man and an old woman at a state-run restaurant, so he guessed that they must be Director Fang's family members. Of course, he dared not be negligent.

Grandpa Fang waved his hand and said, "No need to pour me water, just please find Fang Hui for me, thank you!"

Seeing that Grandpa Fang was indeed very anxious, Mo Daqi stopped being polite and hurried inside to find Director Fang.

Seeing that only Director Fang was in the office, Mo Daqi went straight in: "Director Fang, there's an old man outside looking for you. I saw you having dinner together earlier. He seemed to be in a hurry. Would you like to go out and check on him?"

When Fang Hui heard Mo Daqi say that, he immediately guessed that his father had come. Hearing the second half of the sentence, his heart skipped a beat, because his father would never come here to see him.

"You're rushing over here so urgently, something must have happened." He thanked Mo Daqi and quickly got up to leave.

When Grandpa Fang saw Fang Hui come out, he said anxiously to him, "Eldest son, Nuonuo is missing! Please take leave and come with us to look for her. I'm so sorry, second son!" Tears were almost in his eyes as he spoke.

Fang Hui helped Grandpa Fang up. He was also very anxious when he heard that Nuonuo was missing, but he calmly said to Grandpa Fang, "Dad, don't panic. Tell me what happened. I'll go to the police station with you to report the case. We'll definitely find Nuonuo. Don't worry."

Grandpa Fang calmed down a bit and said to Fang Hui, "Your mother is still waiting at the supply and marketing cooperative. Why don't you go and report it to the police? I'll go over and tell your mother first. She's also waiting for me to come back."

Fang Hui thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you to find Mom, and then we'll report it to the police. After all, you and Mom were with Nuonuo at the time, so it'll be easier for you to explain the situation to the police."

Grandpa Fang: "Okay."
