Chapter 701: Chapter 701: Baby Boy Goes Missing

After settling the bill, Zhu Qianying called Yan Family’s young master twice, but the calls remained unanswered.

So, she just put the phone on the table and tried to calm her heart, waiting for the Yan family’s young master to return her call.

About ten minutes later, the phone on the table rang. Zhu Qianying immediately picked it up. "Hello, young master Yan?"

"I’m outside the restaurant. Come out immediately!"

The tone of Yan’s young master was heavy. Zhu Qianying didn’t ask any further. After responding, she immediately hung up the phone, informed Wang Chunsi, pulled her backpack on, and ran outside.

The moment she stepped out of the restaurant, she spotted the Yan family’s car parked outside. Zhu Qianying ran to the car and entered it.

On the phone, the tone of Yan’s young master was just like when they first met several years ago - cold and stiff.

This tone made her faintly feel as if a shadow of something ominous was slowly brooding over her head.

But, she did not believe that Yan’s young master was being cold and stiff towards her. Rather, he was more likely hiding something.

As she opened the car door, she saw the usually calm and composed young master Yan with his lips pursed and face tightened, looking serious.

It was not until he saw her that his expression relaxed slightly.

"Ying’er..."

Yan’s young master reached out, pulled Zhu Qianying into the car, and gently, embraced her into his chest.

Zhu Qianying only felt an ominous shadow looming over her, feeling as if her heart was being gripped, suffocating her with unease.

"Young master Yan, what happened?"

Zhu Qianying turned her head to look at him, feeling her heart gradually sinking.

Yan’s young master lifted his hand, lightly massaged her head a couple of times, licked his lips, and finally managed to speak after a struggle.

"Ying’er, our baby boy... is missing..."

Zhu Qianying’s mind went blank, and a dazzling bright light flashed before her eyes, causing her to stagger a bit.

The reaction of Zhu Qianying startled young master Yan, and he held her tighter, securely imprisoning her in his arms.

"Ying’er, don’t scare me..."

Zhu Qianying calmed down, placed her hand on her chest, which hurt as if it had been hollowed out, took a deep breath, and stared at Yan’s young master before asking,

"Did you say our baby boy is missing?"

Yan’s young master hesitated for a moment and finally, he had to nod.

Zhu Qianying held one hand to her chest and used the other to grab Yan’s young master’s arm, her fingers digging deep into his sturdy arm muscles.

"Why is he missing? Weren’t they playing together as a whole class?" Zhu Qianying questioned as her consciousness started to regain its clarity.

"Yes, they did, but after arriving at the scenic area, each class divided the students into smaller groups. The baby boy and his group members seem to have gone into the restricted area of the scenic spot. Somehow, he got separated from the others, who assumed that he had gone to the gathering point himself. It was only when they didn’t see him at lunchtime that they realized he had not returned to the gathering point at all..."

Young Master Yan tried to stay as calm as possible, although, at this moment, his heart was burning with anxiety. But he knew he must remain calm to figure out a way to find the baby boy faster.

Zhu Qianying took a deep breath, staring at Yan’s young master and asked, "You said our baby boy wandered into the restricted area?"

Yan’s young master nodded, "The principal personally asked some of his group members and got the same answer."

Zhu Qianying shook her head, stating categorically, "That’s impossible! Under normal circumstances, the baby boy would never step into a restricted area without any tools and without scouting ahead. He knows this better than his classmates!"

Since he was two or three years old, the baby boy had been following Zhu Qianying on outdoor climbs, knew sign markers, and remembered all the common knowledge. He would never make such a basic mistake.

"Unless, he encountered some unforeseen circumstances at that time, which forced him to break into the restricted area!"

The so-called restricted areas are extremely dangerous places, or terrains with hazardous conditions, or infested by ferocious wild animals.

With Zhu Qianying’s strong knowledge, she made a judgment and quickly took out her computer, opened it, and searched for the scenic area the baby boy and his classmates visited on this trip.

The scenic spot was a Grade 5A national forest park, which spanned two provinces and was vast. There were still many undeveloped, uninhabited areas in the park.

Therefore, the forbidden zones listed by this scenic spot not only represented hazardous terrain but also the presence of wild animals and deserted areas.

"Young Master Yan, look at this..."

Zhu Qianying handed the relevant data she found to Yan’s young master. Yan’s young master quickly glanced at it, "Mmm, the scenic spot has arranged a search and rescue operation. We will also head there immediately."

Zhu Qianying felt very uncomfortable, but she knew that it was not the time to show weakness or discomfort.

"Are we driving there?" Zhu Qianying questioned.

The young master Yan shook his head, "No, we are taking a helicopter. I have already told the pilot to prepare everything. We will rendezvous at the park ahead."

Zhu Qianying nodded, and suddenly suggested, "Let the pilot bring Star too!"

In the dangers of the primitive forest, a dog’s search and rescue ability may be even stronger than that of humans.

Besides, Star was inseparable from the baby boy and was very familiar with his scent and aura. To find the baby boy, Star’s sense of smell would be probably more useful than police dogs.

Upon Zhu Qianying’s reminder, the young master remembered this and quickly called the pilot, instructing him to bring Star along and some of the baby boy’s clothes as well.

"My mother and they don’t know about this, do they?"

"I didn’t tell her. However, I did tell Ji Yu and Ji Huan, because, during this time, the greater the search and rescue effort, the better!"

Zhu Qianying agreed with Yan’s young master’s words. In addition, she believed that the Ji brothers would take action while keeping it from Xiao Yu and Ji Sihan.

On the road to rendezvous with the pilot, Zhu Qianying and Yan’s young master discussed the follow-up plan. Meanwhile, the scenic spot reported twice, but both times they had no leads.

After listening to Yan’s young master’s arrangements, Zhu Qianying carefully recalled the situation of the baby boy leaving today.

After thinking about it, she confirmed that the little guy’s mood had been a bit low recently, but it was not so bad that he would do something foolish.

After all, he was still excited about saving money to buy a ticket to see Bai Xiaolu.

In Yan’s words, he now has a hope in his heart, so there is no need to worry to about him being depressed about Bai Xiaolu’s situation.

In other words, it must not have been the baby boy forcing himself into the restricted area. Instead, there should have been some external factors leading to his intrusion into the restricted area.

Zhu Qianying shared all her analysis with Yan’s young master. After listening, Yan’s young master agreed that her explanation made sense.

Therefore, he called the police personnel in charge of the searching and rescuing operation at the scenic spot, instructing them to isolate the few group members who were with the baby boy, guide and interrogate them patiently and carefully.

About ten minutes later, Zhu Qianying and Yan’s young master boarded the helicopter. Accompanying them were Ke Kai and several reliable assistants from Tong village.
