An hour had passed, and every second seemed to be stretched to an infinitely long length, but there was still no trace of the children's whereabouts.
There has been no good news from Chang You. The surrounding surveillance cameras have been checked, and countless images flashed across the screen like a revolving lantern, but no suspicious people or cars were found.
Zhou Yanchen spoke to the police in a low voice with a serious expression, repeatedly confirming the details in his words.
He frowned slightly, nodded from time to time, and asked his own questions, trying to find a breakthrough from the limited clues provided by the police.
After the conversation, he turned around and saw Shen Qingli, who was sitting not far away and looked at a loss.
He walked over quickly and said softly, "Xiao Li, I promise the children will be fine."
Hearing this, Shen Qingli grabbed a life-saving straw and stood up suddenly, his eyes full of expectation: "Do you know the whereabouts of the child?"
Zhou Yanchen looked at her, the hope in her eyes was like a faint candlelight in the darkness. He really couldn't bear to blow it out, but the reality was so cruel.
“Not yet.”
As soon as these words came out, it seemed as if they weighed a thousand pounds, hitting Shen Qingli in the face.
Shen Qingli's eyes instantly filled with tears, and her voice trembled: "Zhou Yanchen, will Dabao and Xiaobao...will they..."
She didn't dare to speak out those terrible thoughts, but the fear overwhelmed her like a tide.
Zhou Yanchen stretched out his hand and held her in his arms, "No, none of what you think will happen. They will return to us safely."
Zhou Yanchen comforted her softly, patting her back gently with his palm, trying to give her some warmth.
Shen Qingli couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears in his arms, her suppressed sobs tugging at his waist.
Pei Xiao and Pei Yike were extremely anxious when they heard the news, and they rushed over immediately.
Pei Yike hurried to Shen Qingli's side, and before she could even catch her breath, she asked anxiously, "Ali, is there any news about Dabao and Xiaobao?"
Hearing the voice, Shen Qingli quickly left Zhou Yanchen's embrace and hurriedly wiped the tears from her face.
Zhou Yanchen saw that Shen Qingli's emotions were like a tightly tied string that could break at any time, so he spoke for her: "There is no news yet. You stay with her, and I will take people out to look for her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qingli grabbed his arm like a drowning man grabbing the last straw, his eyes full of pleading, "Where are you going? I'll go with you."
She was full of children at the moment, and only by being by Zhou Yanchen's side, searching with him, could she ease her inner fear a little.
Pei Xiao looked at Shen Qingli's distraught look and couldn't help but said, "Let's go with you. If we just wait here, she'll start to have wild thoughts."
He understood that allowing Shen Qingli to participate in the search might give her spirit a place to rest, so that she would not be completely consumed by fear and worry.
Zhou Yanchen thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Okay."
Just as they were preparing to set off and hurriedly walked towards the car, Zhou Yanchen's mobile phone suddenly rang, breaking the tense and depressing atmosphere.
He took out his phone and saw that it was Chang You calling. He was nervous and quickly pressed the answer button.
"Boss, we found a suspicious vehicle, but the vehicle was heading to the next city." Chang You's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a bit of anxiety.
Zhou Yanchen's expression froze, "Where are you now?"
"We have set out to pursue him."
"Okay, catch up as soon as possible, we are coming over now."
Zhou Yanchen hung up the phone, turned around and faced everyone, with a glimmer of hope in his voice: "Chang You has found a suspicious vehicle."
"They have gone after us. Let's go after them now."
Hearing this, Shen Qingli's eyes flashed with light, and he nodded repeatedly, saying anxiously: "Then let's hurry up."
At this moment, in her mind, every second of delay seemed to prolong the pain of separation from the children, and they would be in more danger. She wished she could fly to the children immediately.
Everyone got into the car quickly. Zhou Yanchen sat in the driver's seat. The moment he started the car, he caught a glimpse of Shen Qingli sitting in the passenger seat.
The body she placed on her legs was still shaking slightly uncontrollably, and that slight movement hit Zhou Yanchen like a heavy hammer.
He opened her mouth softly, his voice low and gentle, trying to calm her panicked mood: "Xiao Li, I'm here, they'll be fine."
The hand that Shen Qingli placed on his legs gradually tightened, and he whispered, "Thank you."
At this moment, all the grudges of the past were like passing clouds to her and were forgotten by her.
She was now filled with one thought, which was to find the two children as soon as possible.
Nothing else matters.
Her mind uncontrollably flashed with images of children, their pink little faces, their innocent smiles, but then those images were replaced by worry and fear.
She really didn't dare to think about the current situation of the two children. The thought that they might be in danger or get hurt was like being stabbed by thousands of needles.
She seemed to be able to see the children in a strange place, their eyes full of fear, helplessly waiting for them to rescue them.
This thought made her heart clench and her breathing quicken.
The car was speeding on the road, the scenery outside the window passed by quickly, but the atmosphere inside the car was still solemn and suffocating.
…
The engine sound stopped abruptly, and the car carrying Shen Jinnan and Shen Jinxi stopped in front of a dilapidated building in 깊.
The place was covered with weeds and its dilapidated walls were crumbling under the erosion of time, giving off a gloomy atmosphere.
Shen Jinnan pricked up his ears and listened to the low conversation between the two people in front of him.
A slightly shrill voice said, "Brother, didn't the other party say that they would find a secluded place to bury them? Why are you driving here?"
Shen Jinnan's heart sank suddenly, and fear surged into his head like a tide, but he held back and did not let himself cry.
At this time, the fat man in the passenger seat spoke in a hoarse but calculating voice: "Brother, it's obvious that these two children are not from an ordinary family. Even if you want to bury them, you have to pay for it first."
These words shocked Shen Jinnan, and he realized that these people wanted to blackmail him.
The other man was obviously a little worried, his voice trembling: "Brother, is this too risky? If they are really not children from ordinary families, will we get ourselves into trouble?"
Shen Jinnan listened to their conversation, his brain working rapidly.
Something had to be done now; he couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
At this critical moment, Shen Jinnan's mind turned, and a bold idea came to his mind.
He took a deep breath and tried his best to use his body to hit the car door. The "bang bang" sound was particularly harsh in the silent environment.
