Boss Fu's expression instantly turned ugly, and he quickly walked out.
Seeing this, Fu San quickly followed, and Lin Qiuju came out of the kitchen.
"Third brother, go and see what's going on."
Looking at his wife's already showing belly, Fu San comforted her, "It should be fine. I'll go check on her. Don't worry at home."
Fu Ling calls him her maternal great-uncle, so how could she just disappear like that?
Boss Fu strode outside, where Ye Xiaocui was covered in sweat and looked utterly panicked.
"How could it be gone? We just got back not long ago!"
They returned around 5 p.m., and when he left around 6 p.m., Fu Ling was still smiling and waving to him.
It's a little past seven now, so less than an hour has passed.
"Doesn't she love going to Honghong's house next door to play? Isn't she next door?"
Ye Xiaocui was sweating profusely with anxiety. "I've looked for her, I was looking for her to come home for dinner, but I found out she's gone!"
"Ah Wan is almost frantic; she and Ah Ming are searching the whole village!"
"I'll go find the village chief and ask him to broadcast a message to look for it!"
After saying that, Fu Laoda quickly ran towards the village chief's house, while Fu San comforted Ye Xiaocui.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'll go ask a few of my brothers in the village and have them all come out and search."
"It's only been an hour. Lingling must have been playing so much that she forgot to go home."
Ye Xiaocui wiped the sweat from her forehead. "If she really got so caught up in playing that she forgot to go home, that would be fine. But I'm afraid... I'm afraid that some flower seller kidnapped her. That would be the death of Awan!"
Ye Xiaocui knew how important Fu Ling was to Fu Wan. Look at what Fu Ling had been eating and using since she came to the Fu family; none of it was inferior to that of the other children in the village.
Fu Wan was truly frantic at this moment.
An hour ago, she was at home with Fu Ming whittling bamboo tubes.
As soon as they returned and put their things down, Ye Xiaocui went into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Fu Ling grabbed a handful of grapes and said she was going to run next door to play with Fu Honghong.
She often went out to play by herself. Fu Family Village was only this small, so Fu Wan simply didn't pay attention to her and only told her to come back for dinner after playing for a while.
But it was almost time for dinner, and Fu Ling still hadn't gone home.
Fu Wan called out to Fu Ling over the fence for a long time but didn't hear her voice, and her heart began to panic.
She rushed to the next house, only to hear Fu Honghong's grandmother say that Fu Honghong had gone to her maternal grandmother's house with her parents and hadn't come back.
Fu Wan was now truly panicked.
"Brother, brother! Lingling is gone! Lingling is gone!"
Upon hearing Fu Wan's anxious shouts, Fu Ming didn't even notice that the screwdriver in his hand had pierced his palm.
"Don't worry, let's call out around. Maybe she's out playing with other kids."
Ye Xiaocui also rushed out, which led to her running to find Boss Fu.
Fu Wan and Fu Ming searched every household in the village with children, but they couldn't find Fu Ling anywhere.
"It's only been an hour, where could Lingling have run off to?"
Fu Wan's hands were trembling uncontrollably, and she forced herself to calm down.
Rushing things won't solve the problem; what she needs now is to calm down so she can find her daughter.
Fu Ling also experienced abduction in her previous life, except that in her previous life, it was Old Lady Shen who sold her into the deep mountains.
She originally thought that by getting a divorce and leaving Shenjia Village with her child, she could change Fu Ling's fate of being abducted.
Unexpectedly, Fu Ling got into trouble right under his nose.
"Brother, brother! I need to report this to the police!"
In her past life, because of the spirit of the talisman, she had seen many cases of children being abducted.
She remembered the golden 24-hour rule. If Fu Ling was really abducted, it had only been an hour. No matter how fast the traffickers were, they hadn't left Longhai City yet.
Thinking of this, she quickly ran to the village committee, as only the village committee had a telephone, and the village chief knew the town's police station's phone number.
Just as Fu Wan ran to the village committee, the village's loudspeaker came on.
"Hey, hey... Attention villagers of Fujia Village! Fu Ling, the granddaughter of Old Master Fu, has gone missing. Please check around your homes and see if you can find her. If you have, please come to the village committee immediately."
The Fu family will be very grateful!
"I have contacted the police and hope everyone will cooperate with the work and act in accordance with their conscience."
The village chief repeated the announcement three times over the loudspeaker, and Fu Wan turned and ran towards the sea.
Since the police have already been called, and the only place in the whole village she hasn't gone to look for is the seaside, then...
Is this child playing at the beach?
Fu Wan ran over with hope. There were many adults and children from the village on the beach. She looked at them one by one, but she still couldn't see her daughter's familiar figure.
Just when she was in despair, a figure stumbled over and slipped her a note.
Fu Wan helped the person up and then realized that the person was actually Fu Da Lai Zi's wife, the usually taciturn Wang Pan Lan.
Her face was bruised and swollen, as if someone had beaten her, and her exposed arms were covered with scars.
"Save, save, spirit..."
After saying this, Wang Panlan rolled her eyes back and lost consciousness.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law?!"
Fu Wan patted her hand, but there was no response.
She hurriedly opened the note, on which was written the character "灵" (spirit) in a crooked hand.
That's her daughter's handwriting!
Knowing that she would soon be going to school like the other children in the village, Fu Ling pestered Fu Wan to write her name for a long time.
She especially liked the character "灵" (líng), but she always added an extra stroke, writing it as "炅" (jiǒng).
Wang Panlan must have seen the spirit talisman!
Fu Wan quickly called out to Ye Xiaocui, who was not far away, "Mother, Mother! Help! Someone's beating Sister-in-law Wang to death!"
"What's going on?"
"How did you get beaten up like this?"
"Didn't Fu Da Laizi go squatting by the fence?"
People gathering at the beach nearby came over, and a few kind-hearted women helped Wang Panlan up and headed to the clinic.
Fu Wan clutched the note tightly and pulled Ye Xiaocui to find Boss Fu.
Just then, Boss Fu, Fu San, Fu Ming, and the others also found their way to the beach.
"Ah Wan, how are you?"
Fu Wan looked around and, seeing no one else, took out the note in her hand.
"This was just given to me by Sister Wang, Fu Da Lai Zi's wife. It's the calligraphy Ling Ling practiced last night. She must have seen Fu Ling before."
She paused again, "Today during the day I saw Fu Sanlaizi and Shen Guoliang together in town. I suspect that Fu Ling's disappearance is related to them!"
Fu Sanlaizi?
Fu Laoda was immediately furious. Did they really think he was a sick cat just because he wasn't showing his power?
Back when he was a gangster, Fu Sanlaizi was still nowhere to be found!
"Go to Sanlaizi's house!"
They just passed by Fu Sanlaizi's house, and his lights were on.
Fu Sanlaizi was drinking at home at the moment, with a bowl of well-fried peanuts on the table.
He was enjoying himself when someone kicked open his own gate, and before he could react, he was punched in the face.
