The couple returned to the compound, where their family was waiting for them to eat. Ji Ling hugged Mrs. Zhu guiltily and thanked her family for staying with her, but she didn't want to say anything because she was in a bad mood.

After forcing himself to eat half a bowl of rice, Ji Ling did not stay at home, but asked Zhu Yaowu to drive him to Chi Fangping's place.

She didn't let Zhu Weidong follow her, "You are not good at recognizing people, so just stay at home."

Zhu Weidong looked at his wife, and saw that she was also looking at him. Then she nodded to him and left without any reluctance.

Kong Siya patted her son's shoulder and said, "Xiaoling is very anxious now. If she doesn't want you to go, then don't go. Wait for news at home. She doesn't mean to treat you like this. Maybe she wants to separate from you because she's afraid of hurting you."

"I know." Zhu Weidong lowered his head.

Looking at her son, Kong Siya felt distressed and blamed her son for being careless. The child was lost in his hands. How could he not recognize that the person was not his daughter-in-law?

But the child has been lost, and her son feels more guilty than anyone else. Kong Siya can't bear to blame her son anymore.

"Weidong, where are you going?"

"I'm going to go out for a walk." Zhu Weidong left the house and looked at the courtyard. There was no one around, and his heart was as empty as his.

The child was lost from his hands, and he wanted to find his daughter back with his own hands.

Zhu Weidong left that day and never returned home. If they hadn’t received a call from him saying that he had gone to look for his child, their family would have almost called the police to report that someone was missing.

Kong Siya was overwhelmed and fell ill. Zhu Chuang had to go out with his friends every day to look for clues about Niu Niu, while Old Mrs. Zhu stayed at home taking care of her sick daughter-in-law.

Ji Ling rarely went home. Chi Fangping was suspended from her work and was removed from her position as director. She was also notified of this during a meeting of the General Administration.

It was Mr. Zhu who later informed the matter over the phone, and Director Cheng followed the teacher's instructions and got the matter done.

Chi Fangping has completely lost face. The General Administration has organized a conference specifically for this matter, which shows the seriousness of the matter.

The man she married later was 55 years old and would retire in five years. He was also a deputy director, but he was in charge of materials management, and his position was not as high as Deputy Director Cheng. He was also punished because of Chi Fangping's incident. Someone reported that there was something fishy about Chi Fangping's promotion, and the one who was behind all this was Chi Fangping's current husband Zhu Shenghong.

Zhu Shenghong is a very smooth person and has good relationships with people in the General Administration, otherwise it would have been impossible for Chi Fangping to be promoted.

In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the bureau, but no one dares to offend that person, so they just turn a blind eye.

Chi Fangping offended the Zhu family and was criticized as an example by the bureau. Zhu Shenghong realized that something was wrong and secretly found Chi Fangping.

"How did you offend the Zhu family? Why didn't you tell me at first?" Zhu Shenghong looked unhappy. "At the beginning, you agreed to get married after someone introduced you to me, and I also promised to help you get promoted. After getting the marriage certificate, you have been reluctant to hold a wedding. I didn't say much, I just thought that I would listen to you and wait a little longer. I think there is no need to hold a wedding now. Let's just get a divorce."

Chi Fangping had never been fond of Zhu Shenghong in the first place, she just wanted to get promoted. Now that things have come to this, divorce is what she wished for.

The next day, they divorced quietly.

Chi Fangping didn't have many friends, so naturally she wouldn't tell anyone. However, Zhu Shenghong didn't want to be implicated by Chi Fangping, so after completing the formalities and returning to his unit, he told his friends about the matter.

In just half a day, the news spread.

Chi Fangping was suspended from her job. When she returned to the unit to get her things, she was pointed at and talked about. Only then did she realize what was going on.

Behind her, Zhu Yaowu was driving along at a distance.

They got off the car in the suburbs and arrived at a village. It was too late and they didn't dare to alarm each other, so they stopped the car halfway and followed into the village on foot. They then saw Chi Fangping enter the first house on the east side of the village and the lights came on and then went out.

Ji Ling said, "I'll go to the window and listen."

Zhu Yaowu stopped her and said, "Sister-in-law, don't move. I'll go."

My sister-in-law has been feeling unwell these past few days, so if anything happens she won’t be able to escape if she’s slow.

Finally, Ji Ling and Zhu Weiyue stayed, and then Zhu Yaowu and Zhu Weiping came over.

The two of them were gone for a long time. Ji Ling fell asleep leaning against Zhu Weiyue in a daze. When she was pushed awake, she suddenly opened her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, let's go back to the car first." Zhu Yaowu looked very excited, "There is news about Niuniu."

Ji Ling grabbed Zhu Yaowu's hand fiercely, "Really?"

"Really, we need to get back to the car and go back immediately."

"Brother, you guys go back. Heping and I will stay here." Zhu Weiyue said, "We can't let Chi Fangping get away."

"Okay, then the three of us will go home to deliver the letter, and then come to pick you up." At this time, Zhu Yaowu did not say much, knowing the importance of the matter.

After returning to the car and driving towards the city, Zhu Yaowu told everything he had overheard.

"There is an old lady living there. Chi Fangping called her for milk. Chi Fangping asked if the child was well hidden. The old lady said that she was in the mountains and no one could find her. She also said that they had to deliver food to the mountains in the next two days. The food we brought before might be gone. We should go back and get some people. Once they come up the mountain to deliver food, we will definitely find Niuniu."

Ji Ling covered her face and murmured, "I knew it was her, it must be her, I'm really useless, what's the point of going crazy, I don't know how Niuniu is doing in more than a month?"

"Sister-in-law, this is not your fault." Zhu Yaowu and others immediately persuaded her.

Ji Ling still cried. When she returned home, everyone in the family had gone to bed, and Zhu Yaowu woke them up.

After hearing the news they brought back, the Zhu family finally had smiles on their faces.

They thought they could never find it and had already prepared for the worst. Now that they knew the clue, how could they not be happy?

"Let's prepare now and ask someone to guard over there. I'll call the police and tell them the news." Zhu Chuang said, "No wonder we haven't been able to find him for more than a month. It turns out he hid in the mountains."

Kong Siya was also excited. She held her daughter-in-law who was about to get up and said, "Xiaoling, let your dad and the others go. You can rest at home for a night and go tomorrow."

"Yes, they have to take action tomorrow. It's impossible for them to go now in the middle of the night." Zhu Chuang also advised, "You should stay at home and take good care of yourself tonight, and go with your mother tomorrow."

Seeing that her family members cared about her, Ji Ling no longer insisted and agreed.
