"Beep beep...beep beep..."

"Tip: The target could not be found within the known area! You can try selecting a different target!"

"That's impossible!" Yang Xing was completely baffled.

He suddenly remembered the laughter that had brushed past him earlier, as if it truly held a hidden meaning.

"Could it be... that the Bluebird kidnapped them?"

Upon hearing his mutterings to himself, Juliet immediately tensed up.

"What?! You mean Jia Bo has been arrested?!"

Yang Xing paused for a moment, then replied, "Most likely."

The locator has built-in vital sign detection, so it will definitely receive a notification if the owner dies.

If not, it can only mean that Jia Bo is currently in a place that the system cannot yet lock onto.

"Could it be a spatial passage?" Dai Lele suddenly asked. "The only chance is when everyone is in the plaza... because the moon ring is right below the plaza."

"What you said makes sense." Yang Xing did not refute, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

After a moment, he reassured Juliet, "It's alright, he's safe for now. Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to contact him as soon as possible!"

“Mmm, mmm…” Juliet nodded repeatedly, knowing there was nothing she could do.

"By the way, who was the first to notice he was missing?" Yang Xing asked again.

“Yes…” Juliet looked down at the boy in her arms: “It’s Aning.”

"A-Ning?" Yang Xing was immediately surprised.

"Yes, it was when everyone was leaving the square that he suddenly started shouting that he wanted to find his dad, and we couldn't calm him down no matter what we did..."

Juliet sighed, "There was nothing I could do but take it to look for someone, but we couldn't find it no matter how hard we looked..."

"I see." Yang Xing pushed up his glasses thoughtfully.

Finally, he added, "Would you mind if I let Aning stay with me for now?"

Upon hearing this, Juliet was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head repeatedly: "I don't mind! I believe you!"

"Don't worry, I'll have Lele take care of him."

"Thank you so much, really."

"You're welcome, it's my pleasure."

...

Dai Lele and Yang Xing watched Zhu Liling leave before exchanging a puzzled look.

"Why only arrest Jia Bo? Do you think he has a lot of information?" Dai Lele asked.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Yang Xing turned his gaze back to the computer screen, his fingers continuing to tap rapidly on the keyboard:

"I'll first post this in the group chat to let them know."

Dai Lele nodded slightly, then suddenly felt an itch on her calf. Looking down, she saw Jia Ning hanging on her leg like a pendant.

"Sister Lele...take me to find my dad...I want to find my dad..." (System translation)

Seeing the hopeful look in his eyes, Dai Lele's heart softened, and she knelt down to take his hand:

"A-Ning, how did you know Dad was missing?"

"I...I saw...Dad was taken away!" (System translation)

"By what kind of person?"

"A very scary monster, green in color." (System translation)

"Green?" Dai Lele was taken aback and took out a bird feather from her backpack. "Is this the color?"

"..."

Jia Ning stared at the feather, and soon began nodding frantically.

"Yes! That's it! It's the monster!" (System translation)

Although Yang Xing was not looking at the two of them, he was equally surprised after hearing their conversation.

"They say children can see things that people can't? Is that true?" he muttered to himself.

Dai Lele, however, had a different idea.

Jia Ning was able to sense Jia Bo's condition so clearly, most likely because of their blood connection.

However, there is currently no way to explain seeing the Bluebird's true form; perhaps it's some kind of innate ability...

"Do you really want to find your dad?" Dai Lele asked him earnestly.

"Yes! I really, really want to find my dad!" (System translation)

As Jia Ning spoke, she nodded emphatically, her eyes even more sincere than hers.

"From now on, you'll stay right next to me and you're not allowed to wander off," Dai Lele warned sternly.

“If you run off, I’ll hand you over to your mother and never take you with me again.”

"I won't run around! I won't run around!" (System translation)

Jia Ning cried out incoherently, clinging tightly to her leg in a panic.

"Yang Xing, do you still have any little angel wings in your inventory?" Dai Lele suddenly looked up and asked.

“Yes, go look for it in the warehouse yourself,” Yang Xing replied without turning his head.

“I want to equip Jia Ning with one, then keep it by my side and control it myself,” Dai Lele explained while inquiring about the feasibility of this approach.

“Yes, that’s fine, no problem at all, but you’ll have to be more distracted.” Yang Xing didn’t deny it.

Ten minutes later.

Dai Lele fluttered a pair of pure white wings, and a thin chain connected her to the figure of a child, who also had a pair of small wings behind him...

-

"Phew! Finally, we got rid of them all!"

Horry was soaked to the bone; after all, kidnapping is no less strenuous than fighting.

“But Jia Bo was also captured by the Bluebird,” Xiao He said with his eyes closed.

"Are they trying to use hostages to blackmail us?" Horry frowned.

“She likes to be thrifty, so it’s hard for us to take advantage of her in a blatant way.” Xiao He still didn’t open his eyes.
