Chapter 706: Chapter 706: Baby Boy Missing. Part 6 (Fourth Update)

Star had led everyone hundreds of meters into the thick of the wild grass. Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao faintly heard the sound of rushing water.

Star took a turn around the mountain waist. After the others followed, they didn’t go far before they saw a waterfall in the distance.

Beyond the waterfall, many tall rocks stood in front of the waterfall. It seems like this place was about to become a tourist spot as there were freshly erected, winding steps by the large and scattered rocks.

Star, panting from running, stopped on the flat ground before the large rocks.

By the time Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying ran over, Star was moving around on the flat ground.

Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao stood on the flat ground, looking up at the spectacular waterfall in front of them. Their gaze then shifted to the giant stone grandstands.

Their hearts sank bit by bit!

Panic flashed in Zhu Qianying’s eyes. Yan Shao reached out, holding her, and rubbed his head against her face.

"It’s okay, our baby boy will be fine!"

But Yan Shao, who was saying this, felt a cold chill in his heart.

After moving around a few times on the flat ground, Star unfortunately turned towards the direction that Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao least wanted to see.

It ran from the flat ground toward the steps, leaping onto the grandstand with one jump.

Zhu Qianying inhaled deeply, bit her lip, and after glancing at Yan Shao, quickly followed Star onto the grandstand.

The grandstands were quite high, dozens of meters from the level ground. When Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao managed to reach it first, Star stood on the grandstand directly facing the waterfall and started to bark loudly.

It seemed more anxious than at any other time, and its bark also seemed to carry a hint of sadness.

Zhu Qianying ran beside Star with Yan Shao. When she looked down, she could no longer hold back the silent tears that streamed down her face.

The stand seemed about forty or fifty meters high from the level ground. But when they peered over the edge, they discovered that the waterfall was much deeper. It was probably about twice the height of the grandstand. The dark green water in the pool was incredibly deep, casting a cold and bleak light.

At first, Yan Shao was focused on surveying the terrain of the waterfall, but when he noticed something off about Zhu Qianying, he turned his head to see her face stained with tears.

Yan Shao was distressed by Zhu Qianying’s tears, not knowing how to comfort her. He bent down, cradling her face in his hands, hurriedly helping her wipe away the cascading tears.

"Ying’er, sweetheart, don’t cry! We’re still searching, aren’t we?"

Zhu Qianying let him clumsily wipe her face, raised her hand to wipe off her tears, leaned on the railing, and shouted at the bottom of the waterfall, "Baby boy, where are you?"

"Baby boy, can you answer mommy?"

Yan Shao watched her dominantly shouting at the waterfall, stirring Star to continue barking at the waterfall below.

Yan Shao hugged Zhu Qianying and softly smooched her face. Her tears adhered to his tongue, tasting salty and bitter.

Letting her go, Yan Shao went to the team leader, who was standing on the grandstand surveying the surroundings, and ordered, "Arrange for some officers to go down and check it out. I’ll notify He Ju to send a team to search below the waterfall."

The team leader nodded in agreement, then gathered the officers together to discuss the best way to examine the area below.

Yan Shao dialed He Ju’s number and updated him on the situation. He Ju promised to immediately arrange for a rescue team to come over.

After Yan Shao hung up, Zhu Qianying had already stopped shouting. At this moment, she was standing behind the officers, seemingly preparing to descend with them.

"Ying’er, this terrain is very treacherous, you can’t go!"

Yan Shao strode forward, seizing Zhu Qianying’s arm.

He could indulge her in anything else, but he couldn’t let her partake in such a dangerous task. Even if her acute instincts and keen sense of danger were no lesser than that of these officers.

Zhu Qianying, eyes reddened, firmly replied, "No, I’m going!"

Regardless of Star’s direction, Zhu Qianying’s strong intuition told her that their baby boy must have disappeared here.

Thus, she wouldn’t feel reassured unless she went down to check for herself.

Yan Shao stared at her for about ten seconds, eventually surrendering.

"Alright... but you must ensure your safety. I’ll go down with you."

When the police officer was tying a rope around Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying’s waist, Yan Shao’s phone rang again.

"Yan Shao, the staff from the scenic area said that at the bottom of this waterfall, there’s a large reservoir at the foot of the mountain. The entrance to the reservoir has a large metal sieve to prevent debris. From yesterday to today, no large objects have appeared at the entrance, and the staff are currently searching upstream. The supplies and personnel I requested have already been dispatched from headquarters and should arrive in about twenty minutes."

He Ju’s call gave Yan Shao’s sinking heart a slight lift.

About ten minutes later, Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao, with ropes tied around their waists, slowly descended along the precipitous cliff edge with several officers.

Yan Shao’s phone rang again.

This time Yan Shao took the call via wireless, "Speak!"

"Yan Shao, about two to three kilometers away from the foot of the mountain by the water flow, a rock has snagged a black backpack, inside, there are compressed biscuits, chips, and an iPad..."

Clearly, the bag belonged to their baby boy.

"Anything else..." Yan Shao asked solemnly, silently praying that nothing else had been found.

"Nothing else has been found yet..."

Yan Shao exhaled slightly. Zhu Qianying, who was barely a meter away from him, propped her foot against the rock and leaned in to listen carefully as soon as he started speaking.

Seeing his relieved expression, Zhu Qianying anxiously asked, "What happened?"

Yan Shao hesitated a moment, but eventually relayed He Ju’s words verbatim.

Zhu Qianying, who had been frowning, slightly relaxed.

"Our baby boy must be down there..."

As she said this, Zhu Qianying seemed to speed up her descent!

Yan Shao’s spirits somewhat lifted at Zhu Qianying’s words.

At this moment, he trusted Zhu Qianying’s intuition.

So, he too sped up, quickly sliding down, keeping shoulder to shoulder with her in their descent. Neither of them spoke, but with every foot they descended, their hope grew a little more.

Because they could vaguely see a hollow in the rock just above the water surface of the pool below the gigantic stone. This hollow might just be where their baby boy was hiding...
