Chapter 410 Do You Want to Die?
"Go report to the authorities." Xing Xing squatted beside An Ning Xin, who collapsed and sat on the ground crying, and advised, "Since Cheng Jie'er was kidnapped, perhaps the power of the authorities is more reliable."
Fan Pingfang also said, "Come on, I'll accompany you to Shuntian Prefecture to report to the authorities."
It took An Ningxin a long time to calm down. She wiped her tears, nodded, and said "OK" in a hoarse voice.
An Ningxin looked at Xingxing: "...Xingxing, I'm sorry to bother you today. It's getting late. You should hurry back home."
Xingxing nodded, and thinking of the little sister Cheng, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Before Xingxing left the hospital, Yu Yonghuai came to pick her up.
"Big brother, are you here to pick me up?"
Yu Yonghuai nodded and continued, "The bandits outside the city are very cunning. I heard that Shuntian Prefecture borrowed troops to encircle and suppress them twice, but both times they failed. Now the bandits have disappeared. I suspect that they have split up into small groups and hid in the city... Although you brought servants with you when you left, your family is still worried. I might as well come here to take you back."
Yu Yonghuai noticed that the atmosphere in the courtyard was not right and was stunned for a moment, "...What happened?"
He only knew that Xingxing came to Fan Pingfang's house to play, and he didn't know that Xiao Ancheng was missing.
Xing Xing whispered, "...Xiao An Cheng was kidnapped this afternoon." She also said that they had been searching for the entire afternoon but had not found any clues.
Yu Yonghuai frowned deeply.
He had a colleague who worked in the Wucheng Bingmasi, and he had heard from him some stories about the human traffickers in the capital.
There are some merchants in the capital, but they are very few.
Firstly, the capital city is under the rule of the emperor and is more strictly governed. Secondly, the famine in the past few years was really severe. As a result, for a long period of time, human lives were worth less than grass in many places, and people sold their children in large numbers. Why would they break into the yard and snatch children?
"…I'm afraid this is a targeted abduction." Yu Yonghuai asked in a deep voice, "Have you offended anyone recently?"
Fan Pingfang frowned: "We are doing business, and harmony brings wealth. How could we have offended anyone?"
An Ningxin murmured, "Qin Anbo's Mansion... No, even though Qin Anbo and I are over, he can't do something like coming here specifically to snatch Sister Cheng away."
What's more, they all knew very well that Cheng Jie'er was not Qin Anbo's daughter at all.
Even if Qin Anbo wanted to rob someone, he would rob Hao'er.
Sister Cheng, Sister Cheng...
An Ningxin suddenly thought of something, her face turned pale in an instant, and her body swayed.
Fan Pingfang quickly supported An Ningxin and asked concernedly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? How about we get a doctor to check you out?"
An Ningxin grabbed Fan Pingfang's arm with her backhand, excited and panicked: "...I, I remember now."
Everyone looked at An Ningxin.
An Ningxin, on the other hand, found it difficult to speak. After a long while, she managed to utter those few words: "... Cheng Jie'er's biological father might not have died back then..."
At that time, An Ningxin was abducted into the mountain stronghold and was later rescued from the dungeon by Qin Anbo, but before that, she was already pregnant.
During that unforgettable period, she only had one man, the second in command of the cottage...
Before An Ningxin was rescued by Qin Anbo, she carefully looked at the corpses of bandits piled up in the village, but there was no corpse of the second-in-command of the village.
Qin Anbo told her at the time that several bandits were chopped down the mountain by them, and at that height, they were basically dead.
An Ningxin was eager to escape from the nightmare at that time, so naturally she wished the other person was dead.
Over the years, in An Ningxin's heart, little An Cheng's father was already dead.
But now, after hearing Yu Yonghuai's analysis, An Ningxin suddenly recalled the nightmare of that year, the man with a scar on his face...
She was shivering all over.
Fan Pingfang asked the maid to bring a shawl, and wrapped An Ningxin in it, comforting her: "...If he is really Cheng Jie'er's biological father, even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. At least Cheng Jie'er should be safe for the time being."
An Ningxin nodded randomly, totally at a loss.
Yu Yonghuai glanced at Xingxing. He actually didn't want his sister to be involved in things related to bandits.
But things have developed to this point, and my sister has been dragged into it.
"... Well, I'll go talk to my colleagues in the Wucheng Military Department tomorrow," Yu Yonghuai pondered, "and ask them to be more careful when they patrol. If it was really An Cheng's biological father who abducted her, it would be difficult for him to hide with a little girl."
An Ningxin nodded in confusion and looked at Yu Yonghuai gratefully: "Thank you!"
Yu Yonghuai said nothing, but took Xingxing's hand and said, "Let's go. It's getting dark. If we don't go back, I'm afraid grandpa and grandma will be worried."
Xingxing nodded obediently.
An Ningxin seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw: "I'll take you there!"
When they were leaving the courtyard, Xingxing was on Yu Yonghuai's left side. Yu Yonghuai's broad body blocked Xingxing. From the right side, it looked like An Ningxin had sent Yu Yonghuai out alone.
From the right side of the alley, a roar came: "Great! That day in the clinic, I was wondering why he was protecting you for no reason! So you two are already hooking up?!"
An Ningxin was startled, and then she saw Qin Anbo striding out from the darkness on the side of the alley, his eyes full of anger. He pointed at Yu Yonghuai and questioned An Ningxin: "It's only been a few days, and you let him in?!"
An Ningxin had experienced her daughter's disappearance today and the possibility that the bandit who bullied her might still be alive. She was already exhausted and was just relying on a little bit of hope to keep going. Seeing Qin Anbo like this, she was so angry that she trembled all over and couldn't speak.
Yu Yonghuai frowned and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Qin Anbo was furious at this moment. He pointed at Yu Yonghuai and cursed with red eyes: "The emperor arranged a marriage for you with the eldest daughter of Jiang Taihou Mansion, but you turned around and fooled around with my concubine. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will find out and punish you?!"
The matter involved Cen Yueyi. Yu Yonghuai took a step forward and lifted Qin Anbo up by the collar, with murderous eyes: "-- Do you want to die?!"
Only then did Qin Anbo notice Xingxing beside Yu Yonghuai.
How can a lover bring his sister along?
Qin Anbo then vaguely realized that he seemed to have misunderstood...
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xing Xing was very unhappy and shouted, "My elder brother just came to pick me up. You are not only insulting my elder brother, but also insulting Madam An! You have been with Madam An for so long, don't you know who she is?! You are so confused, no wonder Madam An doesn't want you anymore!"
Xingxing's voice was sweet and sticky, but it was like the sharpest sword, piercing Qin Anbo back and forth.
