Chapter 269 Missing (5)

Liuying was not very beautiful. In terms of facial features, she was even slightly inferior to Shangwan Yi Niang. However, that kind of cold charm in her bones could make people's hearts itch. Whether this Jade Rabbit Fairy was a fairy or a demon was a matter of speculation. However, this kind of charm was extremely alluring to ordinary men.

Shen Miao's gaze paused on Liu Ying for a moment, but she turned her head to look around, wanting to see if the person had come. After searching around but not finding anyone, Shen Qiu noticed her movements and asked curiously, "Sister, what are you looking at?"

“Brother, why don’t you look at this Miss Liuying?” Shen Miao changed the subject directly.

Although Shen Qiu was not stupid, he never thought twice when he met Shen Miao. When he heard Shen Miao ask this, he replied, "I don't like this."

Shen Miao raised her eyebrows and said, “So what does Big Brother like?”

Shen Qiu was speechless.

Shen Miao found Shen Qiu's embarrassment quite amusing, and she felt like laughing. In his previous life, Shen Qiu had married that vicious sister-in-law, and he had probably never met a girl he liked from beginning to end. In his next life, he had no idea who his sister-in-law would be.

"Let's go." Shen Qiu reached out his hand to Shen Miao, trying to pull her down from the stone platform. Just now, in order to let Shen Miao see the firefly girl clearly, Shen Qiu had brought her over here, about ten meters away from Shen Xin and the others. Now that they had finished watching the excitement, they naturally had to return to Shen Xin and go to Wanli Lake together to release the lanterns.

Just as Shen Miao was about to jump, she heard a child cry. Shen Qiu heard it too. They turned and saw a child, about three or four years old, hanging upside down from the scale of a shop on the shore a few meters away. Perhaps the child had been mischievous and climbed up to the high beam to watch the fun, but had slipped. Now, with half of his body hanging loose, his hands tightly clinging to the scale. If he fell, he'd be in big trouble. The people around him had already rushed to get a ladder, but the child couldn't hold on for long. Seeing his hands becoming increasingly weak, the child's mother covered her face and sobbed.

"Sister, wait for me here." Upon seeing this, Shen Qiu hurriedly instructed Shen Miao. He thought it was only a few meters away from the stone platform, and since he was skilled in martial arts, he immediately headed towards that end.

Before he could reach the child, his arms gave way and he fell. A cry of surprise filled the air. Shen Qiu tapped his toes lightly, stepped on a nearby pillar, and caught the child in mid-air, barely saving his life. Everyone around him applauded his skill. Shen Qiu returned the child to his mother, who tearfully apologized to him repeatedly, making Shen Qiu feel a little embarrassed.

After finally calming the mother and son, Shen Qiu prepared to return to the stone platform to pick up Shen Miao. Because they were only a few meters apart, he was stunned the moment he turned around.

The stone platform was empty, without a single person.

Shen Qiu's heart tightened. He took two steps at a time, pushing through the crowd and running to the stone platform. There was no one there, not a trace of anyone. Shen Qiu still had a hope in his heart. He looked around and called out loudly twice: "Jiao Jiao!" But no one answered him.

He grabbed a person standing not far from the stone platform and asked, "Where is the little girl standing here just now? Have you seen the little girl here?"

The man replied impatiently, "What little girl? No, no!" Then he looked at him again and said, "Could it be that your daughter has been kidnapped? There are many kidnappers during the Jade Rabbit Festival. If there are no guards and the young lady in the mansion gets separated from others, it is very likely that she has been abducted by a kidnapper!"

Shen Qiu's body began to tremble violently. The eight-foot-tall man, who never blinked an eye in the face of a powerful enemy on the battlefield, suddenly changed color at this moment.
