Chapter 525: 509 to pick up the child

Yan Yueqing was quite surprised, "You’re in Chunyue City?"

Mu Tianxing was very embarrassed, "Yes, we just got off the plane, and it’s so late to contact you, quite presumptuous..."

Yan Yueqing immediately said, "You guys come out of the terminal building first, I’m arranging someone to pick you up now. Whatever it is, we can talk after you arrive."

Mu Tianxing was moved to tears.

When they arrived at Yan Yueqing’s large flat floor she was temporarily staying in, Mu Tianxing, pulling the little Mu Nian, was barely holding back his tears.

"What’s the matter?" Yan Yueqing greeted the two to sit down and poured a cup of hot water for each of them.

Mu Nian looked at her, some color returning to her cold eyes, and obediently called out, "Aunt Yue."

"Xiao Nian is so good~"

Yan Yueqing took a look at the brothers.

Mu Nian was still the same well-behaved and cute-looking child, dressed clean and tidy, looking like a child from a New Year picture.

In contrast, Mu Tianxing seemed as if he had just escaped from some disaster, his clothes all wrinkled, his hair a mess, and even his little face was smudged with dirt.

"Have some water first, then we’ll talk."

Mu Tianxing was really thirsty, drank three or four cups of water in a row, before he started spilling the beans.

"Aunt Yueqing, it’s like this. I took Xiao Nian home for a visit, right? My home is near the sea, and my parents and grandparents are busy with work, hardly ever going home. The other day we heard Xiao Nian’s condition had improved, so we hurried back home with the whole family.

But I don’t know what happened? Xiao Nian was fine when he was at your place, but after going back, he reverted to how he was before... No, it was even worse! Before, although he often retreated into his own world, he still had moments of interaction with everyone. This time, when we went back, it was like he had been snatched by a demon and locked in a dark room, there was no response no matter how we tried to communicate.

My parents were in a panic! That day, in their rush to communicate with Xiao Nian, they almost made him cry... We contacted a lot of doctors, and in the end, it was Master Bai Shu you introduced who said that Xiao Nian’s condition was unstable, and it was best for him to stay by your side for a while, until he gradually transitions before returning home..."

Yan Yueqing understood, "I understand Master Bai Shu’s meaning, he mentioned it before too, Xiao Nian’s condition is special, moreover... healing is a long-term process. He just showed a bit of improvement and then went back home; it’s like cutting off medicine abruptly, naturally, the condition will relapse."

Mu Tianxing’s face turned red, "I’m really sorry, Aunt Yueqing, we have to trouble you for some time again."

"It’s okay, I’m alone in Chunyue City, and it’s nice to have some company. With you guys here, the house will feel a lot more lively~" she said, smilingly looking at Mu Nian, "Isn’t that right, Xiao Nian?"

Mu Nian took the initiative to walk over to her, slowly extending his hand, as if asking for a hug.

"Yes," he said, his baby voice surprisingly sweet.

Yan Yueqing hadn’t held a baby in a long time and was eager to do so; she hugged the little one into her arms, "How about Aunt Yueqing takes you to see Chunyue City’s flower sea in a couple of days after I’m done with work?"

Mu Nian nodded obediently, curling up quietly in her arms.

This well-behaved and responsive manner made him seem just like a normal child.

Mu Tianxing felt moved and yet heartbroken...

Seeing that Mu Nian seemed a bit sleepy, Yan Yueqing gently patted the child’s back to lull him to sleep while asking, "I noticed you used an unfamiliar number to call me, did something happen on the way here?"

"Ah, don’t mention it..." Mu Tianxing shook his head angrily, "We encountered pickpockets after getting off the plane."

"What?"

"I knew Aunt Yueqing was in Chunyue City, working for Xingyue Company. I was planning to take Xiao Nian to find a hotel to stay for the night and contact you in the morning. But after we got off the plane, I took Xiao Nian to the restroom, got bumped by someone, and by the time I realized it, the bag where I kept my phone was gone..."

"Did you report it? It happened inside the terminal, you should be able to get official assistance for the investigation."

"I contacted the staff, and although they could see the person in the surveillance, they couldn’t immediately track down their flight information," Mu Tianxing scratched his head. "It was late, and there were some management lapses, with both incoming and outgoing passengers mixed in the hall, they couldn’t identify the external individuals... I was there for two hours with them, and in the end, Xiao Nian was too sleepy; we had to contact you... otherwise... we wouldn’t have had the money to even take a cab."

Yan Yueqing looked down; Mu Nian had already fallen asleep in her arms.

"This won’t be hard to investigate. With the network system so advanced and surveillance covering everywhere, as long as the person showed their face, they can definitely be tracked down," she comforted him, "Don’t panic just yet, have a good night’s rest at home, and tomorrow I’ll find a friend to help look into it."

"You’re being too kind, Aunt Yueqing... I wanted to surprise you, but it turned into a shock..."

"All’s well that ends well. It’s no big deal; look at you, covered in dust all day long, you should go and rest early."

After settling down the brothers, Yan Yueqing returned to her room and made a call to Zhou Jue.

If she remembered correctly, he had a good relationship with the head of the local police station; this matter would be easier with his intervention.

Sure enough, Zhou Jue agreed immediately and even shared some insider information, "Similar incidents have happened before at the Civil Aviation Building. Chunyue City is a small city that relies on the flower seas for tourism, and outside of the spring and autumn seasons, not many people visit. The airport is a small one, only connected to some domestic cities by air.

The airport used to be quite profitable, and the service was decent. But in the last couple of years, with the high-speed rail coming into play, which is both faster and more convenient, almost everyone from neighboring cities chooses it over air travel, affecting its revenue. Several major shareholders felt the airport was no longer viable and gradually reduced their investment. Naturally, the higher-ups started cutting back on personnel..."

Yan Yueqing acknowledged with an "Oh," "No wonder, when I came, I noticed the airport looked quite old, and many facilities seemed to be closed off."

"Not only that, some projects that were half-built have also been stopped. These days, money isn’t easy to earn; everyone’s holding tightly onto their purses!" Zhou Jue said, "When that’s how the leadership manages things, the subordinates naturally notice something is wrong. And with the staff cuts, those who remain have to do the work of several people; how can they keep up? It’s normal to have some oversight."
