Although Lan Guoer and the others did not suffer any loss in this battle, they were still somewhat exhausted after all.
It was already mid-afternoon when the two returned to Jinyuan.
Seeing how listless they all looked, Qinghe brought over two bowls of ginger soup.
"You've been out for so long, you must be freezing, right? Come on, sit down and have a bowl of ginger soup to warm yourself up first."
"Aunt Qing is really thoughtful!" Su Yan took the ginger soup from Qing He's hand with a sweet smile on his face.
"We're both freezing! It's really cold today! You can even see frost flowers when you breathe."
"Then drink two more bowls! I made a big pot, enough for our whole family!" Qinghe said, looking out the door.
"Everyone, young and old, is really enjoying the stroll. It's been half a day and there's not a soul in sight!"
Lan Guoer looked at her watch. It was already past four in the afternoon.
The three children usually have the habit of taking a nap, but today they went out early and didn't take a nap. According to their habits, they should be so sleepy that they can hardly open their eyes.
"It's getting dark, and all these people, young and old, where did Third Brother take them?"
In the winter in the north, it gets dark early, usually around five or six o'clock. Looking at the sky outside, Lan Guoer always felt a little uneasy.
"Ring, ring, ring! Ring, ring, ring!"
At this moment, the phone in the room rang.
Lan Guoer stepped forward and answered, "Who is it?"
"Guo'er!" Su Xing's incoherent voice came from the phone.
"It's Third Brother's fault! It's all Third Brother's fault for not taking good care of her. What should I do? Guo'er, what do you think Third Brother should do?"
"Third brother, calm down!" Lan Guoer realized that something was wrong. She had a vague guess from Su Xing's words, and her heart was in her throat.
"Who did you say you didn't like? Tell me slowly, what happened?"
Su Xing panted heavily and calmed down. "Xiao Nuan is missing. It's all my third brother's fault. He didn't keep an eye on her! We searched the entire mall but couldn't find her..."
"Bang!" Lan Guoer loosened her grip and the microphone fell to the ground.
"Guo'er, Guo'er!" Su Xing's anxious voice continued to come from the microphone.
"Guo'er, what's wrong with you? Who called? What happened?"
Su Yan had been paying attention to the movements here and saw Lan Guoer standing by the table in a daze, as if she had been frightened by something.
He quickly stepped forward and picked up the phone on the ground, "Hello, this is Su Yan..."
Su Yan was also shocked when he learned that Xiao Nuan was missing!
But he quickly recovered and knew that the most important thing now was to find someone.
Lan Guoer also recovered a little at this time, but she could still hear the little girl calling her mother sweetly.
She prided herself on being calm! But when she heard the little girl was missing, she realized that her so-called calmness and composure were nothing when it came to matters involving the children!
It felt like a piece of her heart had been dug out alive! Pain and fear filled every cell of her body.
"Guo'er! You need to calm down!"
Su Yan understood her current mood very well, and he comforted her to sit down first.
"I'm going to call home right now and have everyone go look for her, including Uncle Zhou! I'm going to have him notify the nearby police stations to look for her too! Don't worry, Xiao Nuan will be fine, we'll definitely be able to find her!"
Lan Guoer still had a bit of rationality, she knew that this was definitely not the time for her to panic.
With the memory of her past life, she knew that after the child was lost, the golden window for finding him was only a few hours, and she could not miss a single minute.
She ran through all the possibilities in her mind.
If the little girl was simply lost, especially in a closed shopping mall, she wouldn't be unable to find her family given her intelligence.
Since Su Xing and his friends searched the entire mall and couldn't find her, the little girl was most likely taken away by someone.
Who would take her away quietly?
Obviously it can't be someone we know!
Could it be a human trafficker?
When Lan Guoer thought of this possibility, she didn't dare to think about it any further!
She is well aware of the rampant human traffickers in this era.
Thinking of Jiang Teng's experience in the compound after being kidnapped by human traffickers, and the torture methods he described, her heart couldn't help but tighten again.
Although the little girl's Qinggong skills were good, if she was controlled or knocked unconscious, how could she escape? She was only a year old.
Su family.
When the old man heard that the little girl was lost, he almost died of anxiety!
Having experienced the pain of losing Lan Guoer, those memories now resurfaced in his mind like a tide, making him panic and uneasy.
That soft little ball is more precious than his heart!
For the first time, the old man made a phone call regardless of the consequences, begging for help based on his achievements and doing his best to find the child.
Leaving the old man and the guard at home to answer phone calls, the rest of the Su family rushed to the department store.
Tang Zhan was halfway through the team's training when he was called back by Su Guosheng!
Upon learning that his little girl was missing, he gave an order and all the insects and animals within a few kilometers became agitated. For a moment, strange phenomena appeared everywhere in Kyoto, as if something big was about to happen.
At this moment, the little girl was lying comfortably in the man's arms, sleeping soundly.
In the back seat of the moving car, a man was wearing a white tuxedo, a black bow tie, a suit and leather shoes, looking like a noble young man.
He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his heroic look was mixed with a hint of wildness. His face, as if it had been chiseled by a knife and an axe, showed no expression at all, giving people a feeling of being kept at a distance.
What was quite inconsistent with the scene was that he was holding a little baby in his arms, wearing a pink sweater dress and two pigtails.
The little baby's round face is white with a hint of red, pink and chubby, with a slightly open mouth, looking so adorable!
At this moment, perhaps she dreamed of something happy, the corners of the little baby's mouth curled up, and slippery saliva flowed out from the corners of her lips, dripping onto the man's expensive clothes, making it wet.
The man didn't care at all. He raised the corner of his straight lips and gently tapped the little baby's upturned nose, muttering,
"So naughty!"
"Sir, don't you hate children the most? Why..."
The driver was a young man in his twenties, speaking broken Mandarin with a Hong Kong accent.
"Hmm?" The man glanced at the rearview mirror with a sharp look in his eyes. "If you have something to say, then you can fart!"
"Why...why are you so...so nice to this little girl?"
The driver asked cautiously.
Since he followed the master, he had never seen the master be so gentle to anyone.
"I just thought she looked like an old friend!" the man replied in a rare good temper.
"So where are we going now? Should we take the child to the police station?" The driver looked at the man through the rearview mirror.
"No hurry!" The man said in a low, magnetic voice, "The little girl is tired, let her have a good sleep first!"
