Gong Mufeng took the money, took a look at it, and handed it to Gong Jinyao, saying, "Use this money to buy candy for Xiyun. I hope you can remember the lesson from what happened today and stop bullying others."
The man and his wife left the Overseas Chinese Store dejectedly with the men in black suits.
After seeing these people leave in disgrace, Gong Mufeng and Lin Yuexi suddenly woke up from a dream and remembered the two babies, Su Yue and Zhang Ma.
I was so focused on dealing with that unreasonable couple and the threat they brought that I completely ignored the whereabouts of the people around me.
The two of them quickly searched the Overseas Chinese Commercial City eagerly, their eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness.
They shuttled back and forth between the shelves, not missing any corner, but there was no trace of the two babies, Su Yue and Zhang Ma.
Gong Mufeng's brows were tightly knitted into the shape of a "川" character, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Lin Yuexi was even more anxious, and her hands were shaking unconsciously. At this time, Gong Jinyao, Zhang Zhixuan and Zhang Zhilan also realized the seriousness of the matter and gathered around.
Gong Jinyao's face turned pale instantly, and she said with a trembling voice: "Brother, sister-in-law, this... could this be someone's trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
Gong Mufeng's heart shuddered, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
He quickly analyzed the situation, and all signs showed that this was no coincidence. The enemy first deliberately created a dispute to divert their attention, and then took the opportunity to attack the two babies.
It was obvious that the enemy's target was no longer Lin Yuexi, but the two little babies who had no ability to resist.
Lin Yuexi felt a chill running up from the soles of her feet to her heart. She suppressed her inner fear and said, "Mu Feng, what should I do? I hope the babies will be okay..."
Gong Mufeng took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He held Lin Yuexi's hand tightly and said, "Yuexi, don't worry, we will definitely find the babies. They should not have gone far. Let's split up and look for them and notify the store staff to help."
So, several people from the Gong family took quick action, and five warriors also joined the search.
Gong Mufeng shouted Su Yue and Zhang Ma's names loudly in the store, while keeping an eye on every suspicious movement around him.
Lin Yuexi ran to the store management office and anxiously asked the staff to search for Su Yue and others through the radio, while checking the conditions at various entrances in the store.
Gong Jinyao, Zhang Zhixuan and Zhang Zhilan also split into three groups and searched carefully in different areas of the store, not missing any possible hiding places.
The entire Overseas Chinese Trade City was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere. Everyone was worried and prayed that the two babies would be safe...
During these two long and agonizing hours, everyone searched frantically in every corner of the Overseas Chinese Shopping Mall, not missing any possible clues, and every hidden corner was turned over by them.
Finally, when Gong Mufeng accidentally walked to a remote corner of the mall, he heard a faint cry for help.
His heart suddenly tightened, and he ran quickly in the direction of the sound, stopping in front of an abandoned garbage storage area. There was a pungent stench of decay, and the surrounding area was filled with all kinds of debris and garbage, emitting a disgusting smell.
Gong Mufeng suppressed his discomfort, pushed aside the messy waste, and immediately saw Su Yue and Zhang Ma who were tied up in the corner.
Their hands and feet were tied tightly with rough ropes, and their mouths were stuffed with smelly socks, so they could only make vague whimpering sounds.
Su Yue's hair was disheveled, her face was full of fear and helplessness, and her eyes revealed a complex expression of surviving a disaster;
Aunt Zhang's face was pale, her body was trembling slightly, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down her forehead, wetting the white hair at her temples.
Gong Mufeng was extremely anxious and rushed forward immediately. He carefully untied the ropes on them and gently took out the socks stuffed in their mouths.
Su Yue and Zhang Ma were breathing heavily, as if they had finally been reborn after struggling in the darkness for a long time.
Su Yue's voice trembled as she cried, "Captain Gong, the babies...the babies were snatched away by them. Those people were too cruel. We didn't have time to resist..."
Gong Mufeng's eyes instantly became cold and resolute, and he clenched his fists tightly, his joints turning white due to the force. He gritted his teeth and said, "Su Yue, Zhang Ma, don't panic, tell me what happened? Which direction did those people go?"
Aunt Zhang endured the pain in her body and described the physical characteristics of those people. She then pointed in a direction and said, "They just...ran in that direction. They ran very fast. We didn't see them clearly..."
At this time, Lin Yuexi, Gong Jinyao and others also hurried over.
When Lin Yuexi saw the looks of Su Yue and Zhang Ma, she instantly realized that the two babies, Gong Yichen and Gong Yutong had fallen into the hands of others, and she knew in her heart that these people were most likely coming for her.
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through her mind. She knew very well that since the enemy had carefully planned this strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, they must have made careful arrangements in advance.
Blindly searching around in the mall at this time is likely to play into the enemy's hands, causing the situation to get even more out of control. After a brief but intense inner struggle, Lin Yuexi took a deep breath, suppressed the grief and worry in her heart, waved her hand with a stern look, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Don't look for anyone anymore, go back and wait for news first!..."
When these words were spoken, everyone present was struck by lightning, and they were all dumbfounded.
Gong Jinyao's face was full of disbelief, and he stared at Lin Yuexi, as if he didn't recognize the person in front of him. He couldn't understand why his sister-in-law could be so "calm" after learning the bad news that the child was taken away, as if nothing had happened.
She was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes. She rushed forward and grabbed Lin Yuexi's arm, crying, "Sister-in-law, are you scared out of your mind? Both babies are lost. How can we just go back and wait for news? We have to look for them quickly!"
Zhang Zhixuan and Zhang Zhilan also looked anxious and confused. They looked at each other, completely not understanding Lin Yuexi's decision.
Su Yue and Zhang Ma had just been freed from their fear and restraints. When they heard Lin Yuexi's words, they were also confused and worried. Su Yue's lips trembled as she stammered, "Yuexi, this... this child is the apple of our eye. How can we..."
Only Gong Mufeng knew what Lin Yuexi was thinking.
He looked at Lin Yuexi and saw deep worry and determination in her stern expression. He knew that she was in great pain at the moment and that she must have made this decision after careful consideration.
