Yu Haoting's footsteps faded, and the two exchanged glances. Yu Meijuan's tears flowed uncontrollably, her heart filled with grief and self-blame. "What should I do? Why is our Zihan's life so miserable? It's all because of me. She's so unlucky to have a mother like me." Yu Meijuan said to Pei Xiao, her voice filled with pain and regret.

Pei Xiao looked at Yu Meijuan, his heart filled with sympathy and helplessness. He knew that Yu Meijuan had always worked hard to protect Zihan, but fate had played a cruel joke on them. He sighed, stood up, and helped Yu Meijuan leave the Yu family. During this process, no one from the Yu family showed up, which made Yu Meijuan feel even more lonely and helpless.

The moment Yu Meijuan stepped out of her home, her relationship with the Yu family was completely severed. She glanced back at the once familiar courtyard, her heart filled with endless sadness and anger. She knew that if anything happened to her daughter, the Yu family would pay the price.

When the old couple returned home, seeing the two in such a state of disarray, they realized something must have happened. They didn't see their granddaughter, so they asked together, "Where's Zihan?" Yu Meijuan and Pei Xiao exchanged a silent glance, their eyes filled with pain and helplessness.

Yu Meijuan took a deep breath, trying to keep her voice calm. "Zi Han was taken away by Yu Haoting." She spoke these words, as if she had exhausted all her strength. Pei Xiao looked at her silently, his eyes filled with concern and worry.

"What? What does Niemi mean? What does it mean that Zi Han was taken away by Yu Haoting? Where was he taken to? Why?" The old couple saw the expressions of the two men. Although they didn't understand what they meant, they knew that something big must have happened.

"Meijuan, don't worry too much. We will definitely find Zihan," Pei Xiao comforted. Yu Meijuan looked at him gratefully, but she was worried about Zihan. She knew that at this moment, the Pei family was her support. She wanted to tell him everything, and then they could work together to find a way to rescue Zihan.

"Mom and Dad, this is all because of me." Pei Xiao wanted to say something but was stopped by Yu Meijuan.

"Our Yu family has a family heirloom..." Yu Meijuan explained everything in detail, except for the secret about Yu Zihan. However, she told her family that the heirloom wasn't in her possession, but had been hidden by Yu Zihan, and she didn't know where it was. When the Pei family stopped paying their mortgage, they had accused Yu Meijuan of not handing over the heirloom in exchange for their granddaughter's life. But now, after hearing this, they realized they had misunderstood their daughter-in-law.

"Things have come to this. There is no other way. In order to prevent that beast from harming Zi Han's life, we can only work in secret. I will make a phone call and ask the relevant departments to secretly investigate Zhe and Hao Ting." Grandpa Pei has calmed down now.

"Father, please don't use your connections yet. I'll go find Gu Jingxuan and tell him what happened today. His identity should make it most convenient to investigate this matter." Pei Xiao said to Grandpa Pei.

"There is no time to lose. Go now as it concerns Zi Han's safety." Old Master Pei ordered solemnly.

Pei Xiao took the order and went to find Gu Jingxuan immediately.

Gu Jingxuan's heart skipped a beat when he saw Pei Xiao's expression. He knew something serious must have happened to Pei Xiao. He quickly closed the office door, pulled Pei Xiao aside, and asked, "What happened?" He had a bad feeling in his heart. Could something have happened to the little girl?

Pei Xiao's face darkened, his lips trembling, his eyes revealing despair and helplessness. He swallowed hard, then recounted the entire story in detail. Gu Jingxuan's face grew darker, his fists clenched, his heart filled with anger and self-blame.

He cursed himself for being too late in taking action against Hao Ting. If they hadn't changed the medicine and played it safe, Yu Haoting would have been brought to justice long ago. How could such a mistake have occurred? Now, this guy had actually done something like kidnapping Zi Han with drugs.

Gu Jingxuan felt his heartbeat accelerate ridiculously. He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself. He knew the most important thing now was to find a way to rescue Zi Han. He glanced at Pei Xiao and said, "Wait here. I'll go report. Yu Haoting is a key suspect, so I can't act on my own." He gave Pei Xiao some instructions and then turned and left the office.

Pei Xiao stood there blankly, his heart filled with anxiety and worry. He knew that Gu Jingxuan was right. Yu Haoting was a very dangerous person. Acting without the approval of his superiors could bring greater risks. However, he was also worried that time was running out. If Yu Haoting harmed Zi Han, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Gu Jingxuan hurried to his superior's office, where he explained what had happened and requested approval for the action. His superior was shocked, but he understood the seriousness of the situation and immediately approved Gu Jingxuan's request. Gu Jingxuan immediately led his men to Yu Haoting's hiding place.

Along the way, Gu Jingxuan's heart was filled with anxiety and worry. He was worried that Zi Han would be hurt, and he was afraid that he would not be able to save her in time. He kept comforting himself, telling himself to stay calm and believe in his own abilities. However, when he thought about the torture and pain that Zi Han might suffer, his heart could not calm down.

Finally, they arrived at Yu Haoting's hiding place, but Yu Haoting left them empty-handed.

Yu Haoting's influence was extraordinary. He had gotten the information from nowhere. By the time the task force arrived at his hiding place, he had already escaped without a trace. He had also brought Yu Zihan with him.

Gu Jingxuan failed to catch Yu Haoting, nor did he rescue Yu Zihan. He suppressed his anger and analyzed the situation calmly.

Now that Yu Haoting has become a wanted criminal, he has no way to escape by normal means and can only use the most dangerous means. He is unwilling to throw away Yu Zihan as a bargaining chip, so he takes the risk to escape with her.

Gu Jingxuan didn't even have time to tell Pei Xiao the news, but simply sent someone to pass it on. He then hurried to the destination he had in mind. When he arrived, he inquired through various acquaintances and learned that he was still a step too late. Yu Haoting had already smuggled Yu Zihan out of the country. Whether they had gone to Hong Kong or somewhere else was unknown.

Gu Jingxuan looked at the surging river in front of him and said silently in his heart: "Little girl, you must wait for me, I will find you."
