CHAPTER 675: CHAPTER 668: THE CHILDREN ARE IN TROUBLE

Shangguan still hasn’t returned the call, Sisi can only suppress her anxiety, praying that the children won’t be in trouble. It shouldn’t be that coincidental, after all, they just went out once, how could they happen to run into something?

Besides, there’s Shangguan, an expert, with them?

The more she thought about it, the more Sisi felt there wouldn’t be a problem, she tried hard to ignore her inner panic, ran to the kitchen, and started making noodles, but she couldn’t muster up any enthusiasm.

When Tian Xinhua returned, seeing the spicy and appetizing cold noodles, he immediately got a big appetite and ate two large bowls in one sitting. He saw Sisi’s lackluster appearance and worriedly reached out to touch her forehead.

"Ah Nan, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Sisi shook her head, seeing Tian Xinhua almost finished eating, only then did she speak worriedly, "Du Du and the others went out playing with Feifei and Ah Liu, but we haven’t heard from them yet. I have a bad feeling about this."

Tian Xinhua frowned, he too felt a sense of foreboding, but he still comforted Sisi, "Don’t worry, with Feifei there, everything should be fine, besides, Du Du and them aren’t easy to mess with, everything will be fine."

Sisi managed to eat a few bites of noodles, but couldn’t eat anymore, her eyes were fixed on the clock hanging on the wall. It was almost seven o’clock, yet the phone remained silent.

Her heart sank bit by bit, and Sisi’s face grew paler and paler. Although she didn’t want to think negatively, reality forced her to.

Sisi suddenly stood up, grabbed the car keys, and was about to go out, just then the urgent ringing of the phone erupted, Tian Xinhua dashed to the phone and answered it. He listened to just one sentence before saying, "Ah Nan and I will be right over."

"Brother Xin Hua, what’s going on? Did something happen to Du Du and Mao Dou?" Sisi asked nervously.

Tian Xinhua nodded solemnly, "We need to head to G City now, Ah Liu, Du Du, and Huahua have disappeared."

Sisi’s vision went black as she staggered, barely able to stand. It’s all her fault!

Tian Xinhua quickly supported Sisi and spoke in a deep voice, "Ah Nan, be strong, Du Du is waiting for us to save him!"

Sisi bit her tongue sharply, the intense pain made her instantly sober, and she instead pulled Tian Xinhua out the door.

Tian Xinhua floored the accelerator, what should have been a one-and-a-half-hour drive was reduced to forty minutes.

Everyone gathered at Yang Tree’s parent’s home, Shangguan had been injured, and Mrs. Yang was bandaging her wound.

Seeing Sisi, Shangguan said guiltily, "Sorry, I didn’t protect Du Du well."

Sisi shook her head, "Not your fault, you’ve done the best anyone could."

Shangguan looked as if she had been through a fierce battle, since the time Sisi had known her, it was the first time seeing Shangguan so disheveled. It seemed the opponents were numerous, yet Shangguan had to protect so many children and Mo Liu by herself.

Zhong Anmei blamed herself immensely, "It’s all my fault, Sisi had already instructed me not to let the children go out, why didn’t I insist?"

Tian Xinhua said solemnly, "It’s already happened, now we should think about how to rescue them, Feifei, can you explain the situation again?"

"After eating at the ice room, Huahua wanted to go boating, so Ah Liu and I took the kids to the street heart park for boating, it was around four o’clock then. Trouble started around five-thirty, we were about to head home, just as we left the park, Huahua wanted to drink iced soda, so Ah Liu and Du Du took Huahua to the other end of the street to buy soda. I was holding the sleeping Xiao Shu along with Mao Dou and Tie Dan on this side waiting. Suddenly, a group of people arrived and tried to snatch Xiao Shu. I fought them off, but when I was done, I found Mo Liu, Du Du, and Huahua missing across the street. I drove around for a search but couldn’t find them," Shangguan said dejectedly.

Yang Tree said, "It’s eight o’clock now, meaning Huahua and the others have been missing for two and a half hours."

Shangguan Qingzhen furrowed his brow, "Two and a half hours is more than enough to leave the G City area."

Everyone’s heart tightened; within G City wasn’t as bad, it’s home ground after all, but outside? That’s not good!

Yang Tree’s father calmly said, "Don’t panic, I’ve set up checkpoints on all routes leading out of the city; leaving won’t be easy for them."

"I found Miyazaki Shin is still in G City; it seems he’s likely the one, if he’s indeed behind this. Mo Liu is not in danger; Tanaka Baihui wouldn’t allow Miyazaki Shin to bring back a corpse, but Du Du and Huahua are in danger. I’m worried they find kids troublesome and act harshly," Tian Xinhua analyzed.

Sisi was the first to be unable to bear it, she stood up and said, "I want to find them, sitting here is unbearable."

"Everyone split up, carry mobile phones and stay in touch," Shangguan Qingchen calmly assigned.

The few children stayed at home with Yang Tree’s parents; Sisi and the three couples divided into three groups to search separately.

A truck full of durians sped silently along the road, emitting a tantalizing exotic aroma.

Du Du was the first to wake up, before his eyes opened, the durian aroma almost overwhelmed him. Du Du tried to cover his nose with his hands but found both were tied with rope.

Hmph, trivial tricks!

Du Du raised his brow, apparently the kidnapper wasn’t very professional, or maybe thought he was just a kid, and didn’t tie him properly.

With a few twists, Du Du freed his hands; he covered his nose with one hand and worked hard to open his eyes to assess his surroundings.

Judging by the bumps below, he should be inside a vehicle, a durian-laden truck, Du Du established his surroundings and ceased further investigation, he needed to wake Huahua and Uncle Mo first.

Huahua’s face bore two red palm marks, from when she resisted those bastards hit her, Du Du’s eyes brimmed with cold light; a tiger falls to the plain and gets bullied by dogs, just wait till I get my hands free and teach you a lesson!

Recalling the happenings at the park entrance, Du Du got angrier, who knew how Aunt Feifei and Mao Dou were doing?

With Aunt Feifei over there, everything should be okay, right?

Du Du resented his young age, skills still not honed, otherwise, how would he fall to the hands of these bastards today?

Thinking of his great-granduncle’s teachings, he slapped his forehead in frustration, immediately tearing off a piece of clothing, tying a knot, and tossing it from the vehicle’s topped rain cloth, hoping dad and mom could see it.

After thinking a bit, he picked up a durian and threw it off the truck as well, luckily, the truck’s speed drowned out the durian’s crash sound to the driver’s cabin.

Mo Liu and Huahua wouldn’t wake up despite Du Du’s efforts, they must have inhaled too much of the sedative. Du Du loosened their bindings and opened up the rain cloth a bit more, moonlight streamed in, faintly illuminating the silhouettes.
