This case is too complicated to leave Zheng Tianming and the other two alone; it could be far more serious than just losing a life.

Xu Mengyu couldn't contact Zheng Tianming anymore. He only sent her a text message telling her to wait because he couldn't bring his phone with him, and then there was no further news.

She waited for more than half a month. Xu Mengyu couldn't sleep or eat. She was already thin, and if she lost any more weight, she would look emaciated.

Xu Sichen felt sorry for his daughter, but he couldn't reveal such an important matter casually.

"Don't worry, Tianming isn't stupid." Li Mirui had no choice but to calm Xu Mengyu down first. As for what had happened, she knew, of course.

But she didn't tell Feng Xi about this, afraid that she would end up like Xu Mengyu.

Xu Mengyu was furious with Zheng Tianming. She lay on the sofa hugging a cushion and said, "How can Lulu and I have a good life with someone like him?"

Li Mirui handed the washed plums to Xu Mengyu: "Your behavior seems different from what you said."

"I'm serious." Xu Mengyu closed her eyes after saying that. She was so annoyed, like ants climbing on a pot lid.

But the truth couldn't be hidden forever. Xu Mengyu overheard Xu Sichen and Pei Xiuyan's meeting and was so shocked she couldn't speak.

Is Zheng Tianming out of his mind? What's the difference between this and throwing an egg against a rock?

He also said he wouldn't take any risks and would consider her and the child's well-being, but then he turned around and risked his life.

This was like publicly tearing away the veil of shame from a nation. Even the father wasn't confident, yet he went with just two people!

Xu Mengyu panicked even more. In order not to worry her parents, she forced herself to eat dinner.

She checks her phone dozens of times a day.

For a whole month, Xu Mengyu didn't receive any messages from Zheng Tianming. She spent her days following news from abroad.

But she knew something serious must have happened, otherwise her father would never have left Xu Lu to go on a business trip abroad.

Before leaving, he entrusted Lulu's safety to his uncle.

Zheng Wanwan would stay with Xu Mengyu every day. She knew this feeling all too well. She had waited for Pei Lan for three years, and every minute and every second was an indescribable torment.

Xu Mengyu was initially stubborn, but now she was really worried: "Why is he so infuriating? You should have beaten him up when you were little."

Zheng Wanwan put her arm around Xu Mengyu's shoulder and sat on the sofa: "Okay, when he comes back, I'll definitely beat him up."

"Could something have happened to him?" Xu Mengyu's voice was a little choked up. How could he be so unreliable and let her get involved?

Zheng Wanwan gently patted Xu Mengyu's shoulder. She couldn't be sure if the family already knew about this, as her father had rushed over last night.

Xu Mengyu was extremely anxious and hadn't slept well for several days, nor had she eaten much.

Xu Lu was doing his homework in a chair with headphones on. There was no sound of a teacher giving a lesson. He knew that his father seemed to be in danger.

It's the kind that can be fatal.

He felt a pang of regret; he should have called him "Dad" before he left...

I hope he can come back safely. He doesn't want any more of that great hero father. He doesn't want any more of that at all.

Xu Lu didn't notice that his tears had already dripped onto the test paper. He reached out and wiped them away. No, it couldn't be. He had finally gotten a father. No, it couldn't be.

Come quickly and tell him that his father will be back soon...

Large tears fell down.

It was Li Mirui who noticed first. She walked over and gently tapped his earphones: "LuLu?"

Xu Lu turned his head and hugged Li Mirui's waist, but he didn't say why he was crying.

“A real man should cry when he wants to, why hold it in?” Li Mirui said, gently patting Xu Lu’s back.

A person may bear a heavy responsibility and give up going home to stay with his wife and children, but if everyone did that, then the world would truly be doomed.

Xu Sichen had just arrived at the hotel when there was a knock on the door.

A scruffy-bearded man with bloodshot eyes stood at the door: "Hello, I'm Tianming's colleague, my name is Li Fengmao." He then took out his phone: "This is the information that Team Leader Zheng collected."

"What happened?" Xu Sichen took the memory card from Li Fengmao.

Pei Kaixin's signal was cut off. He suspected that something had happened to Zheng Tianming, which is why he rushed over and took double precautions.

One document was with Pei Kaixin, and the other was given to Li Fengmao.

Li Fengmao sat in a chair, elbows propped against his legs: "We originally planned to control the owner of the castle, since there are too many children inside, all of whom have chips embedded in their bodies, and we can't send them all out."

“Team Leader Liang was in charge of guarding the castle’s owner. Team Leader Zheng and I were trying to find a way to send the child back every day. We were almost successful, but the other side noticed something was wrong. The night before last, they blew up the castle.”

Li Fengmao covered his face, tears streaming through his fingers: "At that time, Captain Zheng and Captain Liang were inside. The place was destroyed by bombers, and deep craters were blasted into the ground."

Upon hearing this, Xu Sichen felt his blood run cold. His chances of survival were extremely slim. No matter how clever Zheng Tianming was, it was useless; there was no place for him to hide.

His daughter and grandson are still waiting for him to come back.

“I should have been the one to go in.” Li Fengmao pulled at his hair in anguish. The three of them had come, but now he was the only one left.

Xu Sichen was furious. "A bunch of beasts!"

He took out his phone and went outside. He called Pei Kaixin: "Send out this information. I want the whole world to know."

Pei Kaixin sat outside the ward. Bai Miaomiao was pregnant and had been in poor health, so she had been admitted to the hospital early on.

His voice was a little hoarse: [Tianming?]

Xu Sichen fell silent. He had just verified that a crater had been blasted into the ground, and the official apology stated that it was due to improper operation by the driver, and the incident was still under investigation.

Pei Kaixin supported his forehead with his hand. He had signaled to Zheng Tianming that his teammates were still inside, so he rushed in.

In just three minutes, he disappeared and could no longer be contacted.

Zheng Tianming didn't let Li Fengmao in because he knew it was dangerous inside. He wanted to contact Liu Dawei, but he couldn't reach him anymore.

When Pei Kaixin stood up, his eyes were red. These were the children he had watched grow up...

Pei Lan soon learned of the news. His "teammate" happened to be abroad, transporting antiques back, and said that the scene was very tragic.

He leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling, thinking, "What's with all this heroism... Zheng Tianming."

Two weeks later, twelve children boarded a plane and returned to their hometown, including Li Fengmao.

The children cheered and jumped for joy, while others, unaware of what was happening, remained fearful and hid in a corner, not daring to utter a sound.

Xu Mengyu had been waiting for Zheng Tianming to return. As soon as the doorbell rang, she ran out immediately.

Xu Sichen was carrying a large plush toy: "Do you like it?"

"I like it." Xu Mengyu said, taking the doll, her gaze constantly fixed on what was behind her...

Xu Sichen patted Xu Mengyu's head: "How about letting it replace Tianming and stay with you from now on?"

Xu Mengyu nodded: "Okay."

She turned around while holding the doll, and after taking only two steps, she fell forward.

In fact, she had seen and heard a lot of news in the past two weeks, but she didn't believe it.

How could Zheng Tianming have died?

Zheng Lin had been searching for any trace of Zheng Tianming's life. He had seen the scene and done everything he could.

Feng Xi has been hospitalized. Zheng Wanwan and Pei Lan have been taking care of her at the hospital. She cries whenever she wakes up, and the doctors can only give her sedatives to calm her down.

The whole family seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds. Ye Yuncheng had no idea what had happened from beginning to end. She had just gone on a business trip and glanced at the Bai family's mine, where the signal wasn't very good. When she came back, she found that something seemed wrong at home.
