"Sir, the young lady is missing."

Gu Tingxiao, who had just hung up the phone with the international medical professor, looked over with a sullen face and a calm voice that was suppressed: "What do you mean by 'disappeared'?"

"The young lady has been taken away from the isolation room..."

Under Gu Tingxiao's seemingly calm gaze, the person speaking felt as if they might not even be able to stand up straight.

Even the air we can breathe has become thin.

Gu Tingxiao waved his hand to push aside the people who stood in his way like wooden stakes, and strode to the door of the isolation room.

The place was empty; the small figure was nowhere to be found.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Tingxiao kicked over the metal frame of the isolation room.

"Bang--"

The heavy nursing frame collapsed with a loud thud.

A bunch of useless trash!

If we can't cure An'an, now we can't even keep people alive!

Everything else in the room was normal. An'an still had a fever and couldn't speak clearly, so it was definitely not her who left on her own.

Why would someone go to such lengths just for a three-year-old child? Someone must have targeted his weakness and wanted to use An'an to threaten him.

"Seal off the hospital, contact the police and Songye's people, I want An'an to come back unharmed!"

At a time like this, the value of time is self-evident, and Gu Tingxiao immediately made arrangements, beginning a comprehensive deployment of manpower.

Ancheng is destined to have a sleepless night tonight.

Both the legitimate and criminal elements turned Ancheng upside down in their search for a child.

In the hospital's monitoring room, Gu Tingxiao sat personally at the control console, searching for Xiao Anman's image frame by frame.

Unfortunately, the other party's skills in evading surveillance and manipulating the security system were almost bizarre. Among the hundreds of cameras in the hospital, not a single one could capture the moment he took An'an away.

A living, breathing person simply vanished from the face of the earth.

By around six o'clock the next morning, Gu Tingxiao's eyes had started to turn bloodshot. Everyone knew that something was wrong with Gu Tingxiao, but no one dared to advise him, especially the people at the hospital.

Assistant Zhou was in charge of tracking the search results for all routes in real time, but the other party seemed to have no intention of showing their face at all. After taking Xiao Anman away, they completely disappeared.

"Secretary Zhou, Mr. Gu needs to rest now. Do you think we should try to persuade him to rest?"

A regular all-nighter is different from this kind of intense, sleepless night.

Since Xiao Anman disappeared, Gu Tingxiao hasn't even had a sip of water.

Assistant Zhou glanced in Gu Tingxiao's direction, shook his head, and lowered his voice, saying, "Right now, apart from news about Miss Gu, President Gu doesn't want to listen to anyone's nonsense."

But, but that's not just idle talk; it's concern for his health...

The speaker looked at Gu Tingxiao, who stood in front of the control panel, his posture upright like a pine tree growing proudly on a towering and precipitous peak. Wind, frost, rain and snow could never damage him in the slightest, but because of his worry for the young lady, the proud pine tree had somehow developed a weakness.

Perhaps Assistant Zhou is right; it would indeed be pointless to advise Mr. Gu to rest at this point.

******

Xuan Yin carried Xiao An's tiny body as if she were carrying a light package.

He was still wearing his black, form-fitting night clothes, lying on the soft, dark sofa, almost blending into it.

Originally, Xuan Yin planned to end the little guy's life at the hospital, but in a flash, she thought of Pei Gu's perpetually dead face.

Perhaps this time, he can kill two birds with one stone.

After all, Pei Gu was still very curious about what kind of interaction he had with this little thing.

Then he packed up the "hot potato" Xiao Anman and took her away from the hospital.

However, thanks to Gu Tingxiao's timely blockade, Xuan Yin was still unable to leave Ancheng.

However, the place he is in now is still quite safe for the time being.

In the corner of the sofa, Xiao Anman, wearing a blue and white hospital gown, still had a fever.

"Waaah..."

Like a wounded little animal that doesn't know how to lick its wounds, Xiao An whimpered uncomfortably in her daze, her voice tinged with a sob.

Is this little thing about to die?

Xuan Yin, who was lying on the sofa checking the latest mission releases, lifted his eyelids slightly to look at the weak Xiao Anman after hearing her sobs.

Judging from this, even if he doesn't die, he won't live much longer, right?

Xuan Yin thought to himself, not really paying attention.

But if she just dies like that, wouldn't all the risks I took to bring her back have been for nothing?

If you calculate it that way, it seems like I'm at a slight disadvantage.

Xuan Yin put away the palm-sized microcomputer, stretched out his long arm, and roughly pulled Xiao An in front of him.

He touched Xiao Anman's face, feeling her current body temperature. Xuan Yin's fingers were slender but his palms were rough. When he placed them on Xiao Anman's delicate skin, they scratched and stung her.

"Hey, little guy."

Xuan Yin patted her cheek lightly.

Because the other person's body temperature was very different from her own, Xiao An, who was already delirious from the fever, subconsciously snuggled into Xuan Yin's arms.

Xuan Yin, somewhat bewildered by Xiao Anman's actions: ? ? ?

"You're really not afraid of death, little thing."

With a hint of disgust, he pulled the limp little body out of his arms, and a rare youthful air appeared on Xuan Yin's usually effeminate and terrifying face.

At this moment, Xiao Anman could hardly hear Xuan Yin speaking.

All she knew was that she had been forced to leave the source of coolness, so she relentlessly snuggled into Xuan Yinde's arms once again.

"I'm warning you, little thing, you're asking for it, you know that?"

Xuan Yin pulled apart the steaming hot glutinous rice ball, his amber eyes flashing a particularly serious warning.

But a minute passed, then two minutes passed...

Xuan Yin, who received no response, felt like he was being a bit stupid.

What was he saying to this little thing that was about to burn into a madman?

But doesn't she like cold things...?

Xuan Yin looked towards the bathroom.

The rushing water quickly filled the bathtub.

Xuan Yin picked up Xiao Anman with one hand and threw her into the cold bathtub without hesitation.

"Don't you like it, do you just want to cool down, little one?"

Then stay here.

The long-haired boy threw a piping hot glutinous rice ball into the bathtub and then yawned. He hadn't slept for three days because he was living a life with his days and nights reversed.

Good, the morning light is already out.

He should go to sleep now, and go find Pei Gu after he's had a good night's rest.

ha

We can look forward to seeing if Pei Gu will change his attitude and then have a life-or-death game with him.

Xuan Yin left to go to sleep.

However, Xiao Anman floated up and down in the cold water in the bathtub, but the expression on her little face didn't seem so uncomfortable anymore.
