Zhan Xiuwen glanced at her with his venomous eyes, then quickly turned and left.

Apart from Elder Zhan, the rest of the Zhan family also left.

Qiao Wanwan commanded, "Do it."

Jiang Dong nodded. "Yes."

The ruins were cleared inch by inch, and the inspection was very thorough.

"Madam, it's too dusty here. Please go home and wait."

"No, I'll wait here."

"Then you can get in the car and wait."

"Alright."

As soon as Qiao Wanwan got into the car, Old Master Zhan followed her over, saying, "Madam Zhan."

Qiao Wanwan looked at him, her eyes devoid of emotion, "It's kind of you to make this trip."

Zhan Laodao said, "I know you called me because you don't want to have a major conflict with the Zhan family, and naturally I don't want that to happen either."

"Moreover, I was wronged by Wanyi and Jingting before. Now that Jingting is missing, I will do my best to help him whenever possible."

Qiao Wanwan nodded, "These collateral branches of the Zhan family are easily brainwashed by Zhan Xiuwen to oppose me. I have no mood to deal with them, so you'd better try to persuade them. As for Zhan Xiuwen, I will never let him go. You'd better stay away and avoid getting yourselves covered in blood."

"I understand, I will try my best." Old Zhan sighed, "But these old bones of mine have no face left. The Zhan family is no longer my domain."

"If you can persuade them, then do so; if you can't, it's best to stay out of it," Qiao Wanwan said coldly. "I am Jingting's wife. Since you all share the same surname as my husband, I am unwilling to harm you, except for those who are courting death, such as Zhan Xiuwen."

"I know that even if Jing Ting is gone, you're not someone to be trifled with."

"Good to know."

"I'll be going now. Call me if you need anything."

"good."

......

Qiao Wanwan supervised the construction on site the whole time. Zheng Ma brought her lunch, and she took a nap in the car after eating.

"lady!"

She didn't know how much time had passed when Jiang Dong's voice woke her up, "We found Master Zhan's phone!"

Qiao Wanwan suddenly opened her eyes, "Where is she!"

Jiang Dong handed over a container filled with fragments of the phone. "It's been blown up like this. Even the chip was destroyed. No wonder we couldn't locate the phone after the incident."

Qiao Wanwan's fingertips trembled as she picked up a fragment, looked at the sticker on it, and said, "That's right, this is Jingting's phone, and this sticker is our family photo..."

"A cell phone is something you keep close to your body, yet it was blown up like this. You can imagine how terrible the situation must have been..."

"lady......"

Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes briefly and said, "Keep digging down and try to find something underground today. Deploy life detectors and search and rescue dogs."

"Yes, madam."

The search and rescue operation is proceeding intensively without a moment's pause.

By evening, the Zhan family's old house had been razed to the ground.

Jiangdong brought in the most professional search and rescue equipment and continued digging downwards.

Qiao Wanwan wanted to stay here and keep an eye on things, but Wutong Bay called and said they were worried because the two children couldn't see her.

Qiao Wanwan had no choice but to leave the place to Jiang Dong and go back first.

"Mommy!" When Eleven saw Qiao Wanwan, she rushed over and hugged her tightly. "Where have you been? Eleven missed you so much."

"Mommy's going out to run some errands. Did you all eat your dinner properly?"

“We ate, but you and Daddy aren’t here, so my brother and I didn’t have any appetite.”

Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "Mommy is a little hungry too. Zheng Ma, please have the kitchen make three bowls of wontons."

"yes."

Three bowls of hot wontons were quickly served on the table.

Qiao Wanwan led the two children to sit down, saying, "Eat the wontons, or your tummy will rumble with hunger when you go to bed tonight."

Eleven laughed out loud, "Mommy, when is Daddy coming back to have dinner with us?"

"Daddy won't be back for a while, so you all have to be good and wait for Daddy to come back."

"Mmm." Qiao Wanwan patted Xiao Jiu's head. "Eat slowly, don't burn yourself."

Xiao Jiu nodded gently.

After finishing the wontons, Qiao Wanwan, as usual, spent time reading and playing games with her two children until 9:30 pm before taking them to bathe and go to bed.

Eleven lay in bed, yawning, "Mommy, my little brother's fever is gone, can we go to kindergarten tomorrow?"

Qiao Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Mommy will take you to kindergarten tomorrow."

"Um."

"Close your eyes and go to sleep, or someone will become a little lazybones tomorrow."

"Neither Eleven nor my younger brother is a lazybones."

Qiao Wanwan watched them fall into a deep sleep before turning off the light and getting up to leave.

“Madam,” Aunt Zheng was already waiting at the door, “this is a calming soup that the old master just made, please drink it while it’s hot.”

"Okay." Qiao Wanwan asked, "Any news from Jiangdong?"

"Not yet, they're intensifying their search."

Qiao Wanwan returned to her room. "I'll take the kids to school as usual tomorrow. I'll also tell the school that security must be strengthened, and we need to have bodyguards guarding the classroom doors."

"Madam, are you worried about...?"

"During this special period, children are of utmost importance and absolutely cannot be harmed. Strengthening protection is always the right thing to do."

"I understand, I will make the arrangements."

After drinking the calming soup, Qiao Wanwan immediately took out her phone to call Jiang Dong, "How is it?"

"Madam, the search is still ongoing."

"Okay, tell everyone to be careful. I'll have someone deliver some late-night snacks in a bit."

"Don't worry, Madam, we operate on a two-shift system here, and you'll be guaranteed rest time."

"That's good, I'll be there in a bit."

“Madam,” Jiang Dong interrupted, “you are pregnant and can’t help much here. It’s not good for you to sleep in the car. You should rest at home. I will let you know as soon as I have any news.”

Qiao Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll keep my phone on and call me anytime at night."

"yes."

Although Qiao Wanwan didn't show it, she was extremely anxious inside.

More than 30 hours have passed since the explosion, and with each passing second, her worry intensifies.

She wasn't planning to sleep, but sleepiness gradually crept in, and she leaned back on the sofa and fell asleep immediately.

Zheng Ma called two maids over, helped her to bed, and then left.

"Sir, your calming soup really works; Madam is asleep now."

The Ghost Hand Doctor nodded. "Even if Wanwan is anxious inside, she won't say it. If we don't give her some medicine, she won't be able to sleep tonight. Let her get a good night's sleep."

Zheng Ma nodded, "Yes."

Qiao Wanwan slept until dawn, and only then did she belatedly realize what had happened.

She touched her stomach, picked up her phone and looked at it; Jiang Dong hadn't called.

Qiao Wanwan didn't rush to call Jiang Dong. She got up first, took the two children to kindergarten, and then went directly to the Zhan family's old house.

"Madam, you've arrived." Jiang Dong stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "I was just about to call you. The entire old house has been thoroughly searched, and there is indeed a secret passage!"
