Chapter 829: 830, Siblings’ Bond (second update)

Outside the door.

The hall outside was still bustling with activity.

Apart from the Mo family members, no one knew what had happened.

Chu Xiu and the little girl were also unaware of the incident, sitting together chatting.

With Bei Bei’s situation unclear, they couldn’t let the news spread to everyone; they had to investigate discreetly.

Han Zixiu was very efficient in his work. Soon, every door in the imperial palace had been sealed. No one was allowed to leave, only to enter, and several teams of Hidden Guards were also quietly searching every corner of the imperial palace.

Meanwhile, Chu Jin had quickly located Bei Bei.

"Found it, right here!" Chu Jin pointed at a small red dot on the computer screen.

"I’m on my way." After confirming the location, Mo Zhixuan rushed out anxiously.

"I’m coming with you!" Chu Jin also stood up. She then turned to Mo Qingyi and said, "Qingyi, you and Sister Siyu stay here and take good care of Bao Bao."

"Alright, leave Bao Bao to me; you can rest assured!" Mo Qingyi nodded with a composed face.

Bao Bao clung tightly to Mo Qingyi’s neck with her little hands, watching as her dad and mom left without crying or fussing.

Perhaps it was the telepathy between twins; since Bei Bei disappeared, Bao Bao had stopped smiling and just clung tightly to Mo Qingyi, resting her head on her neck and being very well-behaved.

The Mo family matriarch’s current state was not suitable for taking care of children.

She was frantic with tears streaming down her face, repeatedly mumbling, "It’s all my fault, all my fault... this is all my fault..." If she hadn’t left for a while, Bei Bei wouldn’t have been taken away.

"Mom, it’s not your fault, nobody expected that these people had the audacity to come here and take away Bei Bei!" Mo Qingyi consoled the family matriarch.

The Mo family matriarch had never expected that someone would infiltrate the Mo family and take away Bei Bei.

And even less did she expect that in just fifteen short minutes, Bei Bei would disappear.

"Qingyi is right, old madam, this is not your fault. Please rest assured, Bei Bei will be fine, Jin has found her location." Ding Siyu also comforted the family matriarch.

Although this was what they said, no one knew who had taken Bei Bei, whether Bei Bei was safe now, and even less about what the person might have done to Bei Bei...

Bei Bei was not someone who let strangers hold her, so the person who took her away must have awoken her. But strangely, there had been no crying from Bei Bei.

Unless that person did something to Bei Bei.

The thought was truly terrifying.

After all, Bei Bei was only three months old...

The Mo family matriarch was so nervous she cried because she thought of this; she was really worried that if something happened to Bei Bei, she wouldn’t want to live either.

Mo Zhixuan and Chu Jin rushed to the location determined by the tracker.

But, there was no one there.

The faces of Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan seemed expressionless, but in reality, they were so anxious they could barely cope.

Duanmu Zhe picked up a small gold bracelet from the ground and presented it to Mo Zhixuan and Chu Jin, "Ninth brother, ninth sister, is this Bei Bei’s?"

"Yes, this is Bei Bei’s!" Chu Jin snatched the small gold bracelet, so anxious that her eyes reddened. The tracker was installed in this little bracelet. Now that the bracelet was found but Bei Bei was nowhere to be seen, Chu Jin couldn’t control her emotions anymore.

No one knew what Bei Bei was going through at that moment.

"Duanmu, where did you find this bracelet?" Mo Zhixuan looked at Duanmu Zhe, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Over here." Duanmu Zhe walked over to a corner.

Located northeast towards the back garden, this area had the weakest defense. Moreover, near where Duanmu Zhe found the bracelet, there was a round doghole.

Mo Zhixuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the doghole and spoke coldly, "The person probably escaped through here!"

Duanmu Zhe also surveyed the doghole, "The doghole isn’t very big, it looks like it was made by a slender person. If I’m not mistaken, it was probably a woman."

What frightened Chu Jin now was that the person wasn’t after money.

If they were after money, they wouldn’t have thrown away the gold bracelet!

This meant that Bei Bei was in danger!

Realizing this, Chu Jin broke down in tears, "What should we do, Mo Zhixuan? What about Bei Bei?"

She was a mother.

With such an incident befalling her child, no matter how strong a heart, under these circumstances, she couldn’t stay calm.

"It’s okay, Jin, I will definitely find our Bei Bei," Mo Zhixuan soothed Chu Jin, his voice calm without a hint of panic. He then spoke to Duanmu Zhe, "Lock down the entire city, search every house. Offer a reward of one hundred million Gold Coins for information about Bei Bei!"

Money talks. In the Superpower World, many capable people and experts exist. One hundred million Gold Coins could buy over a dozen cities. Surely they would be tempted by the reward.

"Understood, ninth brother, I’ll go immediately!" Duanmu Zhe turned around at once.

Just then, Mo Zhixuan’s communicator beeped. It was a message from Han Zixiu, "Old Mo, your maternity matron was knocked out in the underground storage, and according to her description, the person who knocked her out wore a Human Skin Mask identical to hers."

As he spoke, a photo of the maternity matron appeared in the air.

Han Zixiu continued, "You don’t need to worry now; I’ve already arranged for a search throughout the city for this woman!"

"I’m going to look for Bei Bei too." Chu Jin dried her tears and composed herself, striding towards the door.

Under these circumstances, she couldn’t bear to just sit and wait for news.

She and her daughter Bei Bei were connected by heart; she was certain she would find Bei Bei.

"Jin, I’m coming with you." Mo Zhixuan held Chu Jin’s wrist and then spoke to Han Zixiu through the communicator, "Keep in touch with us at all times."

"Of course, Old Mo, I’ll inform you immediately if there’s any news," Han Zixiu’s voice sounded very serious.

At this critical juncture, no one dared relax even a sliver.

"Duanmu, go to Qingyi’s place," Mo Zhixuan said, glancing back at Duanmu Zhe.

In the current situation, it wouldn’t do for the Mo family’s elder madam and Mo Qingyi to be without a man’s presence.

"Understood," Duanmu Zhe turned and walked toward the direction of the main hall.

In the baby’s room.

The elder madam of the Mo family was in very poor condition.

Ding Siyu was comforting her on one side.

Mo Qingyi, on the other hand, was holding Bao Bao.

The usually noisy Bao Bao was, for now, exceptionally well-behaved.

"Mom, don’t worry, ninth brother and sister-in-law have already gone to look for Bei Bei. She’ll be fine," Duanmu Zhe walked up to the elder madam and spoke words of comfort.

In his memory, it was rare for the elder madam to lose control of her emotions.

But today, she was crying her eyes out, utterly heartbroken.

"Yes, Bei Bei will definitely be fine," the elder madam, looking at Duanmu Zhe, nodded, but her eyes were full of worry.

She could only hope that Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan would soon send back some good news.

Duanmu Zhe stood up, walked over to Mo Qingyi, and extended his hand, saying softly, "Give me Bao Bao. You’re tired too."

Bao Bao clung tightly to Mo Qingyi’s neck, refusing to let go, big eyes quickly filling with a layer of mist, inspiring pity.

"I’m not tired," Mo Qingyi shook her head and then comforted Bao Bao, "Don’t be afraid, Bao Bao, auntie is here."

Bao Bao, unlike usual, didn’t burst into loud crying but silently let two streams of tears flow down.

The pitiful sight broke Mo Qingyi’s heart.

Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan had left the house.

Outside the imperial palace, there was a constant flow of people, bustling and lively, yet no one noticed the missing fake maternity matron.

According to Han Zixiu’s description, the fake maternity matron was capable of disguise and might have already taken the appearance of an old grandmother, or perhaps reverted to her original face by now.

It was like looking for a needle in a haystack to find someone in the vast crowd, especially when her appearance was unknown.

Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan wove through the masses, incessantly searching for the slightest clue.

The woman with Bei Bei should be noticeable.

"Excuse me, have you seen a young woman with a baby about three months old, passing by here? The child is very cute, wearing a pink dress with a sunflower pattern on it," they kept asking people along the street.

"No."

Their inquiries yielded no results.

Chu Jin’s voice had begun to carry a sob.

This sense of panic was uncontrollable.

Whenever she thought of what that woman might do to Bei Bei, her heart would involuntarily clench tightly, aching intensely.

If possible, she wished she could take Bei Bei’s place and suffer in her stead.

Bei Bei was still small.

She was still so very small...

"Jin, it’s alright, Bei Bei will be fine," Mo Zhixuan hugged Chu Jin’s shoulders and whispered comforting words.

Chu Jin fought hard not to let her tears fall.

In the distance, Xuanyuan Shangchen observed everything quietly, his brow furrowing slightly. His hands involuntarily clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Xuanyuan Shangchen didn’t linger there long but quickly left, carrying a heavy air of fury with him.

Elsewhere.

A young woman, carrying a shopping basket, hurried into a nearby alleyway.

Just then, a man wearing a black trench coat brushed past her.

The man wore a hat that obscured his features somewhat.

Yet, his stature was tall and he emitted a strong presence, indicating that he was no ordinary man.

This man was none other than Xuanyuan Shangchen.

As he passed by the woman, his ears twitched slightly, then he narrowed his eyes and took a closer look at the woman’s basket.

The woman proceeded normally, continuing her brisk walk forward.

Xuanyuan Shangchen didn’t dwell on it and soon withdrew his gaze, passing by the young woman and quickly disappearing into the street.

The woman hastened into the alley.

Swiftly reaching the depths of the alley, she made sure no one was around before lifting the cloth covering the basket.

Inside lay a sleeping baby.

However, it seemed the child had been drugged rather than asleep.

His little face was rosy, still streaked with a few traces of tears.

This infant was none other than the missing Bei Bei.

Looking at the sleeping Bei Bei, a flicker of reluctance seemed to pass through the young woman’s eyes. She couldn’t bring herself to harm this baby, not even a year old.

Sigh...

Such a small child, it really was a sin...

But, even if she couldn’t bear it, she still had to do it.

The young woman pulled a dagger from her waist.

In the sunlight, the dagger was gleaming with a fierce cold light.

"Child, I’m sorry. Please don’t blame me, blame Xi He. She’s the one who made me do this. The debt is to the owner, please don’t come after me!" Having said that, the young woman closed her eyes tightly, swung the dagger, and swiftly stabbed toward Bei Bei’s body.

This stab, aimed right at Bei Bei’s chest, would certainly be fatal if it landed, and it was evident that she truly intended to kill Bei Bei.

No matter the reason, anyone capable of harming such a small infant was no good person.

Just as the dagger was about to strike Bei Bei’s chest, a stone, imbued with a chilling malice, flew swiftly towards them.

It all happened in a flash.

Only to hear...

A "snap!" and the young woman’s dagger was knocked out of her hand, spun in the air, and then fiercely stabbed into the back of her hand, nailing it firmly to the ground like a peg.

"Ah!" The young woman hadn’t even had time to react when a bone-piercing pain shot through her hand, and she screamed out loud!

Blood dyed the ground red.

Her hand was nailed to the ground by the dagger, immobilized.

The young woman hurriedly opened her eyes, only to find that a young man had appeared out of nowhere, holding the sleeping Bei Bei in his arms.

"Mercy, mercy... I didn’t want to do this, please spare my life, kind sir." The young woman immediately kowtowed, begging for mercy, no longer caring about the wound on her hand.

She hadn’t expected the Mo family to catch up so quickly, much less to be caught red-handed.

She was in disguise; how could the Mo family have recognized her?

Xuanyuan Shangchen held Bei Bei in his arms, his eyes filled with warmth.

This little guy’s eyes and brows looked a lot like her.

The only difference was the mouth.

The mouth... looked like Mo Zhixuan.

Although Xuanyuan Shangchen didn’t want to admit it, this was indeed the case.

Bei Bei.

This little guy was called Bei Bei.

"Hello there, Bei Bei," said Xuanyuan Shangchen as he touched Bei Bei’s nose.

In his sleep, Bei Bei seemed to sense something and wrinkled his little nose.

"Bei Bei," Xuanyuan Shangchen took Bei Bei’s little hand and kissed it on the fingers.

The little guy was so soft and adorable, he was heart-melting.

Xuanyuan Shangchen held Bei Bei with one hand while pulling out a rope from thin air with the other and tied the young woman up.

The woman twisted on the ground.

She tried to say something to beg for mercy, but it was as if her throat had been grasped; she couldn’t make a sound.

The feeling was terrifying.

Blood continued to flow from the back of her hand.

Xuanyuan Shangchen held Bei Bei, looking at her tenderly with a faint smile that couldn’t help but curl at the corners of his mouth, as if he could never get enough of looking at her.

Such a cute little thing.

It was a pity that she was the daughter of that man, Mo Zhixuan.

Xuanyuan Shangchen first touched Bei Bei’s little nose, then prodded her chubby cheek...

At that moment, Bei Bei suddenly opened her eyes.

A pair of delicate peach blossom eyes stared unblinkingly at Xuanyuan Shangchen.

Through those eyes, Xuanyuan Shangchen felt as though he saw Chu Jin.

Apart from her thin lips, Bei Bei was the spitting image of Chu Jin—a mini-sized Chu Jin.

Strangely, the typically shy Bei Bei did not cry or fuss upon seeing Xuanyuan Shangchen; instead, she offered a big smile and reached out her little hand to touch Xuanyuan Shangchen’s chin.

"Hello Bei Bei, I’m Uncle Xuanyuan Shangchen, nice to meet you," Xuanyuan Shangchen said tenderly, grasping Bei Bei’s little hand.

"Ah... Oh... Bu..." Bei Bei responded politely to Xuanyuan Shangchen.

Even though Xuanyuan Shangchen couldn’t understand what Bei Bei was saying, he continued, "Bei Bei, you wait here for a moment, your mommy and daddy will come to pick you up soon."

"Bu..." Bei Bei continued to drool.

"Does Bei Bei not want to leave uncle?" Xuanyuan Shangchen asked with a laugh.

"Bu..." Bei Bei continued.

Xuanyuan Shangchen’s eyes smiled warmly, "Uncle doesn’t want to leave Bei Bei either."

It was almost hard to believe that Xuanyuan Shangchen could show such an expression.

Chu Jin’s daughter was also his daughter.

That’s why he had such patience with Bei Bei.

He liked Bei Bei very much, too.

"Ah... oh..." Bei Bei continued to scratch Xuanyuan Shangchen’s face with her hand.

"Uncle has something to give you, you must be safe and joyful for the rest of your life," Xuanyuan Shangchen said, pulling a black string from around his own neck and putting it around Bei Bei’s, tying at the other end a gemstone-like object filled with a rich Spiritual Power.

An intimate object of Xuanyuan Shangchen’s was certainly not ordinary.

It was as if Bei Bei could feel it, touching the spiritual stone and letting out a bell-like laugh.

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Shangchen’s ears twitched.

He carefully placed Bei Bei in front of the woman, then leaped up himself, landing in the foliage of a nearby large tree and hiding himself.

The tree was dense, concealing a person without being noticed.

Xuanyuan Shangchen chose a good spot in the tree and stayed motionless, closely watching the situation below.

Sure enough, within three seconds, Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan found their way into this alley.

"Bei Bei!" Chu Jin picked up Bei Bei in a hug, her face filled with ecstatic relief.

"Ah... oh..." Bei Bei touched Chu Jin’s face as if to tell her mother not to worry.

"Bei Bei, Mommy is sorry, it’s all my fault... I’ve made you suffer," Chu Jin said, her voice close to breaking.

Mo Zhixuan walked up to the bound woman, surveyed the surroundings, and said in a coldly stern voice, "Take this woman back first!"

The situation was clear as day.

This woman planned to harm Bei Bei but was stopped by someone else.

It seemed that person had just left shortly ago.

Just one minute before, that person was still here.

But since that person chose not to appear, Mo Zhixuan didn’t insist.

As long as Bei Bei was okay, that’s what mattered.

"Let me hold Bei Bei," Mo Zhixuan approached Chu Jin.

Chu Jin handed Bei Bei over to Mo Zhixuan.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Bei Bei actually made a sound similar to "dada..."

Mo Zhixuan was deeply moved.

"Bei Bei, my dear daughter, it’s good that you’re alright, don’t worry, Daddy will never lose you again." Such an incident should only happen once.

Heaven knows how frightened Mo Zhixuan was the moment he found out that Bei Bei was missing!

He was terribly worried that his precious daughter, who had not been easy to come by, might be lost to him forever.

He couldn’t imagine such an outcome.

Chu Jin, standing aside, was also crying behind her hands.

For the first time since giving birth, she cried so heartbrokenly.

Even during childbirth, she hadn’t uttered a sound.

At the same time, Chu Jin also felt relieved.

Thank goodness Bei Bei was alright.

"It’s okay now, it’s okay," Mo Zhixuan said, holding Bei Bei with one hand and patting Chu Jin’s shoulder with the other, "Don’t cry anymore, rest assured, I will protect you both well from now on."

This time, it was his negligence.

He shouldn’t have let Bei Bei be exposed to such danger.

Bei Bei looked at her mom and dad quietly,

Without crying or causing a fuss.

After finding Bei Bei, Mo Zhixuan immediately notified everyone through the communicator.

The Mo family all breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news.

It was truly a blessing from the Bodhisattva.

The old Madam Mo’s face lit up as she chanted, "Amitabha."

Ding Siyu smiled and said, "Bei Bei is destined to be blessed with good fortune."

One who survives a great disaster is destined for good fortune.

"Bao Bao, did you hear that? We’ve found your little sister, and she’s fine now, nothing’s wrong," Mo Qingyi said with a beaming smile as he gently tapped Bao Bao’s little nose.

But Bao Bao remained very serious.

He had an almost adult-like demeanor.

He clung tightly to Mo Qingyi’s neck, his eyes full of worry; since Bei Bei had disappeared, Bao Bao had been in this position the whole time, not even drinking his favorite milk powder, as if waiting for Bei Bei’s return.

Siblings are connected at heart.

This phrase is not without truth.
