Chapter 262 The Investigation Begins



Yun Duoduo calmed down and considered various possibilities. She said to Ning Yue, "Did anyone come back just now? Did they take the third child away?"

"Logically, that wouldn't be the case. If someone from my family came back from outside, they would definitely have seen me and wouldn't have kept quiet about it."

"Where did the child go?" Yun Duoduo was completely bewildered. In broad daylight, the child was sleeping at home, and then just disappeared without a trace.

Seeing Duoduo's state, Ningyue realized the seriousness of the situation, but still comforted Duoduo, "Duoduo, don't panic. Stay home and watch the two children, lock the door, and I'll go to the restaurant to see if someone came back and took them away."

Although Ning Yue felt that this possibility was unlikely, she still had to think about things in the best possible light.

“Okay.” Yun Duoduo was indeed starting to panic. It would be good to have Ning Yue call Yan Junting and the others back, but she was also worried about Ning Yue, so she instructed, “Mom, you be careful too.”

For some reason, Yun Duoduo felt that something was wrong. She felt that the child had not been taken away by her family, but she couldn't figure out who would take the child away.

Sure enough, Ning Yue returned with Yan Junting soon after.

Because she thought today was Yan Qiuting and Yun Xiaoqin's wedding day, a joyous occasion, Ning Yue didn't disturb anyone, only telling Yan Junting in private.

Yan Junting returned immediately upon hearing this. He was certain that no one at home had taken the child away, but after listening to Yun Duoduo and Ning Yue's account, he also found it strange that the child seemed to have simply vanished into thin air.

Regardless of the circumstances, the most urgent task is to find the child.

But then Yan Junting remembered something else, and he asked Yun Duoduo, "By the way, did Honglan come back just now?"

"No, I didn't see her." Yun Duoduo shook her head. She had a feeling that Honglan might have also been in trouble.

Yan Junting fell silent. If that was the case, it was obvious that someone had premeditated these actions.

Seeing their anxious expressions, Ning Yue considered various possibilities. "Jun Ting, what if the child has really been kidnapped by some kind of abductor? When I was in Haicheng, something like that happened before. The child was in the yard and someone took him away."

Yan Junting immediately dismissed this possibility, saying, "No, if they really are kidnappers, why don't they take all three of them at once?"

“That’s true.” Ning Yue nodded. At the time, the three children were sleeping. If they could take one away, taking all three wouldn’t be too difficult. Kidnappers wouldn’t be satisfied.

Ning Yue started to get anxious and kept asking what to do.

Yun Duoduo's eyes also reddened, but she tried her best to hold back her tears.

Looking at the two of them, Yan Junting told them, "What we can be sure of now is that the child has definitely been taken away, but we need to stay calm and find the child as soon as possible. If we panic, it will only make things more complicated."

"It's over," Yan Junting called to Ning Yue, "Mom, we can't worry about that now. Go to the restaurant and tell the family about this. Tell my Duoduo's dad and brothers to come back as soon as possible. We need to start an investigation immediately."

Ning Yue nodded and immediately went to the restaurant.

Yan Junting also needed to go to the police station quickly. He told Yun Duoduo, "Duoduo, you watch the two children at home. I'm going to the police station."

After saying that, Yan Junting hurriedly went to the police station.

Yun Duoduo was worried, so she reached out and grabbed Yan Junting, looking at him with red eyes, "Junting..."

Yan Junting knew Yun Duoduo's panic and worry. He reached out and patted Yun Duoduo's face, gently comforting her, "Don't worry, our daughter will be fine. I promise I'll bring her back safely."

Yun Duoduo nodded, not delaying Yan Junting from taking care of his business.

Soon, the family returned home and were frantic with worry when they learned that their child was missing.

Looking at her eldest and second children, Song Qinglian said with regret, "If I had known, I would have stayed home and watched over them instead of going out to eat. These little children have been taken away by someone, I don't know what to do, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Song Qinglian began wiping away tears.

Upon hearing this, Ning Yue shook her head and took the blame upon herself, saying, "It's my responsibility. I didn't take good care of the child at home."

Then, Wu Chunlan and Ye Wenyue both said that they should have stayed home to take care of the children.

Looking at them, Li Zhengyang stepped forward and told everyone, "No one is responsible. It's obvious that this is not a simple case of a child being lost; it was premeditated. So even if you were all here today, this would have happened sooner or later."

Everyone has confirmed that the child was not taken away because he was not properly supervised.

Li Yunjun also agreed with Li Zhengyang's words, "Moreover, at this point, is it useful to talk about whose responsibility it is? Can the child be found?"

"Yes, we can't panic. There will always be clues." Li Yunfeng also signaled to everyone not to panic, as finding the child was the most important thing right now.

Moreover, such complaints will affect internal unity and make things even more chaotic.

Everyone understood what Li Yunfeng meant and nodded.

Then, Ye Wenyue asked Li Yunjun, "Yunjun, could it be a kidnapping?"

"Look how big Duoduo's business is now. Everyone in the neighborhood knows about it. There are always some people around who don't want to work hard but dream of getting rich. Could it be that they just want money?"

Li Yunjun pondered silently.

Li Yunfeng then picked up where Ye Wenyue left off, saying, "If they really want money, it's not a big deal. Just give them the money and that's it. After all, the child is so young and can't recognize people. They won't do anything to the child."

Li Zhengyang agreed with this statement. He calmly analyzed, "What I'm afraid of is that some people who have a grudge against Duoduo or Junting might take the child away to seek revenge, and who knows what they might do to the child."

"Yes, if it really is a kidnapping, we'll definitely get a kidnapping notice sooner or later."

Soon, Yan Junting returned from the police station, and the people who went to investigate in the vicinity also returned, but there was still no news.

No kidnapping notice was received.

However, everyone has been busy during this time, and many people have been assigned to search for the person.

Because this matter is related to the Li family, and Yan Junting himself is a soldier, it has attracted great attention, and the higher authorities have sent a lot of people to help.

Li Yunfeng even went so far as to inquire about it after learning about some people in the underworld.

In the underworld, no one dares to touch the Li family. Even if they want money, they won't be willing to take the risk.

The police station investigated all the neighbors in the area, and no one saw anyone take the child away from Yun Duoduo's house.

Logically speaking, it was lunchtime, and there should have been pedestrians on the road, but no one saw it.

After investigating for an entire afternoon, they still couldn't find any information.
