Ouyang Zhenyu did not receive a call from his son.

To be precise, the person who received his call was Chen Ruixue.

Ouyang Zhenyu had already received some clues and was on his way to his daughter's place.

Upon hearing that two girls had appeared in a certain place, and that they seemed to resemble the child he had described, he was immediately alerted.

Ouyang Zhenyu immediately led his men to set off.

They had received too many false reports of military intelligence lately, and Ouyang Zhenyu had gone to verify them one by one, but each time he returned disappointed.

So far, he has not only failed to find Li Shuyun and the other person, but also has not found any clues about the child. He is like a headless fly, wandering around aimlessly.

For the first time, Ouyang Zhenyu felt embarrassed.

My magic weapon failed me at the crucial moment.

Perhaps the children have far exceeded their own capabilities.

In short, it was surprisingly difficult to find the children this time.

Ouyang Zhenyu left home, leaving Chen Ruixue alone to answer the phone. When Chen Ruixue heard her son's voice, she almost burst into tears.

"Seven, Seven, where are you? Tell Mommy where you are now!"

Qi Zai didn't expect that it would be his mother who answered the phone; in fact, this was the last thing he wanted his mother to know.

The mother is the most vulnerable in this family.

The father had something to rely on: he had been reborn, and his three children were all capable in their own way.

To be precise, they can survive in any environment, but the only one who is vulnerable is the mother.

But his mother had already heard him lie, and lying was definitely not an option. Besides, he wasn't in any danger right now, so telling his mother shouldn't be a big problem.

"Mom, I'm safe here. I'm in a small fishing village."

Don't worry, I wasn't hit or scolded, and I'm eating and sleeping well.

The lips of Uncle Wu and the others watching him make the phone call twitched.

This kid is quite good at lying.

Chen Ruixue was still anxious.

"Seven, where are you? Tell Mommy where you are. Mommy will come pick you up."

Qi Zai panicked upon hearing this.

"Mom, don't run around. Stay home and watch over me. Even if you want to pick me up, go find Dad or Uncle Gu."

"Mom, you have to listen to me. Don't wander off. If you get lost and can't be found, Dad will be even more worried."

Seven didn't expect that this phone call would cause trouble; he felt that his mother wouldn't listen to him.

"Okay, Mom, I'll listen to you. I won't run around, but Uncle Gu needs to know the address before he can pick you up. Where are you? Are you with your sister and younger sister?"

Chen Ruixue felt that he was a useless person, probably the least capable in the family.

Her husband took such good care of her that she never encountered any setbacks in anything she did.

For the first time, she realized that even her own son was worried about her, which meant she was not a good mother.

Hearing this, Qi Zai finally felt relieved.

"Mom, okay, you tell Uncle Gu. I don't know where this is either, I'll have someone next to me tell you the address."

He handed the microphone to Uncle Wu next to him, and Uncle Wu obediently read out the address.

Although everyone knows the child was found, no one knows for sure whether he was found or bought.

Since the child was able to find his parents' home, they naturally had no reason to stop him.

Moreover, it seems that the child's family is quite anxious and concerned about the child's whereabouts.

In that case, they have no reason to be bad people.

Chen Ruixue gave her son a long lecture before hanging up the phone, and then regretted it.

After this phone call, I don't know when I'll be able to see my son again.

He immediately called Gu Tinghui, who, upon hearing the news, immediately dispatched people, meaning he had people on his side.

However, Chen Ruixue insisted that she must come along.

She couldn't rest easy until she saw her son.

Gu Tinghui was also worried that Chen Ruixue might run over alone, and if she did so without anyone protecting her, something might happen.

After much deliberation, I finally agreed, mainly because I couldn't contact Ouyang Zhenyu right now.

Back then, information wasn't readily available, so contacting someone who had gone to another place was extremely difficult.

Leaving aside their search for the person, after hanging up the phone, Qi Zai turned around and said to Uncle Wu and the others.

"Let's hurry back, we need to go back soon in this weather."

The wind and waves grew even stronger at midnight.

Although it was already past midnight when they arrived at the village, it was still better than being out there. Of course, Qi Zai knew they had to bring the water back. In any case, they had achieved their goal for this trip.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Wu immediately beamed with joy. He had been worried about how the family would survive without water. Since the little brat was willing to go back, it meant there was hope and the family was confident.

I don't know why, but although this child has appeared in the village on other days, he basically ignores everyone else.

This was the first time I had spent time with this child, and I never expected him to trust this child so much.

When the staff heard they were about to leave, they looked at them like they were a bunch of idiots, but there was nothing they could do. They had come through wind and rain, and the staff had no right to stop them.

Normally, ships are not allowed to depart from the dock, but they are making a strong demand, and they are different from the other ships at the dock.

Rather than letting them set off secretly, it's better to watch them set off openly.

And you know what? Lately, I don’t know if it’s the calm before the storm or what, but the wind and rain have subsided a lot.

The six people successfully sailed the boat out of the harbor.

The rest of the journey was even smoother than the way there, with fewer bumps.

The group returned to the dock at the entrance of their village late at night.

When there was no news from the dock that evening, the production team leader knew that either the team had gone out or something had happened to them.

But neither of them will be seen tonight.

If they are rescued, they will see the ship return by tomorrow afternoon at the earliest; if they are not rescued, they will not know the news until tomorrow.

So basically everyone in the village is already lying down to rest by now.

Only the families of these six people couldn't sleep all night; they were filled with anxiety.

No one knew if they could survive the storm.

He Cuihua and her three daughters remained silent in the house, with He Cuihua sitting there alone, weeping.

The child had already set off, and when she heard the news that the third group had gone out, she was thunderstruck.

How can ships possibly have a good outcome when they go out in this weather?

There was only one kerosene lamp lit in the house, and it was flickering on and off, while the wind and rain outside were getting even stronger.

Thinking of the troublesome words Liu Lao Er had said that evening, He Cuihua felt a little regretful.

If I had known better, I would have given the boat to Liu Lao Er, and perhaps Da Bao wouldn't be in this predicament today.
