"Mommy, Thirteen is so ugly," Eleven complained.
Xiao Jiu blinked, her clear eyes full of laughter.
Qiao Wanwan's mind was a little muddled. She looked at Zhan Jingting in disbelief, "Jingting, you're back..."
"Wanwan, I didn't go out." Zhan Jingting looked at her tenderly. "You just gave birth, how could I possibly leave you?"
Qiao Wanwan was even more confused. "I gave birth to a child?"
"Yes, look at our son."
Looking at the wrinkled baby, Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but cry out, "Jingting, I had a terrible nightmare. I dreamt that the Zhan family's old house exploded, and you were inside. Everyone said you were dead..."
"Silly Wanwan, how could I possibly die?" Zhan Jingting gently wiped away her tears. "I promised you that I would always be by your side, and nothing and no one can separate us."
"That's wonderful..." Qiao Wanwan sobbed uncontrollably, "I knew you wouldn't leave me, wouldn't leave our child..."
"Mmm." Zhan Jingting bent down and hugged her. "I will never leave you."
Qiao Wanwan raised her hand and hugged him, but her hands passed right through him!
Qiao Wanwan's eyes widened, "Jing Ting..."
The man in front of her quickly turned into a void human form, and with a touch of her fingertip, he instantly vanished into nothingness before her eyes!
"Jing Ting!"
Qiao Wanwan exclaimed in surprise and suddenly opened her eyes!
The first thing I saw was the familiar ceiling.
"Madam is awake!" came Zheng Ma's excited voice. "Quickly, go and fetch the old master to come and see!"
"Yes," the maid replied.
Qiao Wanwan slowly turned her head and stared blankly at Zheng Ma.
Madam Zheng was heartbroken. "Madam, you were unconscious all night. It scared us to death."
"Where's Jingting?" Qiao Wanwan's voice was still hoarse. "Where is Jingting?"
Tears welled up in Zheng Ma's eyes. "Madam, Master Zhan... he didn't come back from the fire..."
Qiao Wanwan shuddered violently, "That was a dream...that was the real dream..."
"Madam, please don't be like this." Zheng Ma broke down in tears. "Master Zhan... he might have been in trouble..."
"No, he won't leave me." Qiao Wanwan fought back tears. "I don't believe Jingting is dead. He won't abandon me, absolutely not!"
"Where are the people from Jiangdong? Go and fetch them here right now!"
"Madam, please don't worry, I'll go and call them right away."
Jiang Dong rushed over, "Madam."
Where is Jingting?
"Madam, please don't worry, we have good news and bad news."
Qiao Wanwan had no patience left. "Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me!"
"All the remains have undergone DNA testing, and the good news is that Zhan Ye was not among them."
Qiao Wanwan hurriedly asked, "What's the bad news?"
"The bad news is that Master Zhan has not shown up yet, and the old house has been searched repeatedly, and there is indeed no one else there."
"So, Jing Ting isn't dead, but his whereabouts are unknown?"
“You could say that,” Jiang Dong said. “Madam, this matter is indeed strange.”
Qiao Wanwan swallowed hard and analyzed, "It's a good thing that Jingting wasn't among the bodies. I bet there's a secret passage in the Zhan family's old house. When the explosion happened, Jingting escaped through the secret passage! Yes, that must be it!"
“Madam, if I may be so bold, there is no way there could be a secret passage in the Zhan family’s old residence. Neither Master Zhan nor my father ever mentioned it to me. Most importantly, I had already considered this possibility, so I had my men search the inside and outside of the house, but there was no secret passage.”
“If there’s no secret passage, then Jing Ting escaped from the fire!” Qiao Wanwan said. “Immediately activate the Sky Eye system and check all the surveillance footage near the old house to see if Jing Ting was injured and went to the hospital! Also check the hospital to see if anyone with blast or burn injuries has been admitted!”
“Madam, I have already checked everything. Since the incident, we have searched all the hospitals and private clinics, but there is no news of Master Zhan. Moreover, the surveillance system shows that after the incident, apart from our car, ambulance, and fire truck, no other vehicles came out from the direction of the Zhan family’s old residence, and there were no pedestrians either.”
"You've already investigated everything..." Qiao Wanwan's heart, which had just calmed down a bit, jumped again. "So what does this mean now is that Jing Ting really did disappear into thin air?"
"Yes, madam."
"How could this be!" Qiao Wanwan felt a splitting headache. "A perfectly healthy person can't just disappear into thin air. Find him, at all costs, we must find Jing Ting... hiss..."
"Madam!" Seeing her clutching her stomach, Zheng Ma hurriedly helped her up. "Please lie down! You mustn't get agitated, it could upset the baby!"
Qiao Wanwan's face was pale. "Jiang Dong, go find him..."
"Don't worry, Madam. I'm already searching. The Sky Eye system is monitoring it, and my men are conducting a thorough search."
Qiao Wanwan's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and she slowly closed her eyes, drifting back to sleep...
A torrential downpour descended upon the capital, washing over the ruins and bringing a sense of desolation.
A bodyguard in a raincoat ran out and said, "Brother Dong, there really is no sign of Master Zhan! If we want to further confirm whether there is a secret passage here, my suggestion is to demolish the whole place and raze it to the ground, then dig three feet into the ground!"
Jiang Dong pondered for a moment and said, "This matter should be decided by Madam. I need to go back and consult her."
"Oh well."
