The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family
Chapter 861 - 186: Chaos

Chapter 861: Chapter 186: Chaos

Pei Qian searched Zhang Shiqian’s house meticulously, especially Li Bao Lian’s room, turning everything upside down and even dismantling the kang beds, yet still found not a trace or clue.

Seeing her leave with a grim face, Li Bao Lian gave a desolate smile, "Pei Qin is nothing more than a woman who has colluded with Shen Songming to earn money and thus restrain Young Master Mo. Now that Young Master Mo has just left, she’s lost his daughter. Let’s see what she can do this time!"

Her leg mysteriously broke from just a fall, and even without anyone telling her, she could guess it must have been Pei Qin’s doing. With that dumb guard who’s a martial arts master always at her side, it would only take the blink of an eye to harm someone. With Young Master Mo’s unparalleled charm, even without her, others would replace her in succession. With Pei Qin’s temperament and appearance, she can’t possibly hold onto Young Master Mo!

Now that she’s lost his daughter too, let’s see how Pei Qin is going to explain this to Young Master Mo!

Zhang Shiqian’s face was long with a heart full of sorrow and resentfulness. Li Bao Lian had married him, yet she still didn’t want to settle down and live peacefully with him. Now that her leg is broken, she’s still thinking about Mo Heng!

Pei Qian, paying them no attention, stepped out from the main entrance, and looking at the sky outside, red-rimmed eyes brimming with tears, could not help but let them fall. Without power, one would be oppressed and schemed against! To possess talent is to harbor guilt, to possess a jade is also a crime. Right now, she truly wanted to take a bomb and blow all those treacherous villains to death!

Pei Yuan was fuming with anxiety at home, while Grandma Fang and Lady Yu, together with Old Scholar Fang, were searching outside as well. But in the vast sea of people, they had lost two children and had no clues or leads—where were they to start searching?

Taiping Town had been searched over and over, throwing everyone into a state of unrest.

Hearing that Jiujiu was lost, and then that Xiao Yi had also disappeared, Jiang Benxin staggered with fright, barely able to steady himself in his chair. He quickly ordered troops to follow Pei Qin in the search, while he himself led others to search in different directions, seeking help from Lin County and Runing Prefecture.

They searched from dusk till dusk again, without any news.

Pei Qin had not closed her eyes for two days and nights. Xiao Yi’s guard and Manager Liao both wanted to send a message to Xiao Guangbi, urgently informing him of Xiao Yi’s disappearance, hoping he’d send help. Pei Qin had Liu Feng and Cao Li watch over them, forbidding them from sending any messages to Xiao Guangbi.

If no message went out, yet Xiao Guangbi somehow knew of Xiao Yi’s disappearance, then he was certainly involved in the matter! If Xiao Guangbi himself was behind this...

Pei Qin clenched her fists tightly before turning to go back home. If Xiao Yi had been kidnapped, there was no immediate danger. If the abductors weren’t Xiao Guangbi’s men, then they would surely come to her. Although she only had so much ability, she could still turn their damn Chu Nation upside down!

Seeing her return, Grandma Fang and the others rushed over, "Did you find Jiujiu!?"

Pei Qin replied with a dark expression, "No." There were only a few roads out of Taiping Town and one Bear River, all of which had been checked countless times. If someone had taken the kids, how in the world did they do it?

Disappointment washed over Grandma Fang and Lady Yu’s faces, and their tears immediately began to flow.

Pei Yuan wiped her eyes and tried to comfort Pei Qin, "Elder sister! You haven’t slept for two days and nights, you should rest a bit! If they have kidnapped someone, they will probably send a message to negotiate terms with us!"

Old Scholar Fang nodded, also urging her to rest, "With Mo Heng not at home, if you collapse, what will happen to the household?"

Pei Qin had once spent days and nights in the lab for experiments. But seeing the concern in their eyes, she nodded, drank a bowl of porridge, and went to her room.

Huang Qiu followed to make the bed, as nobody had tidied up the room for the past two days with everyone out searching for the missing.

"Ah ah ah..."

Suddenly, a sharp scream rang out.

Old Scholar Fang and the others shuddered from the fright.

Pei Qian’s expression turned stern, and she dashed over in a flash.

Lady Yu and Pei Yuan also hurried over.

Seeing the one on the inner chamber’s bed, they all widened their eyes in shock and cried out.

"Jiujiu!" Pei Qian flung herself over and hugged Jiujiu, who was inside the bed curtain.

Pei Qin approached with a pale face.

Pei Qian tried to feel for breath under Jiujiu’s nose, "She’s breathing! Jiujiu is fine! She’s fine!"

Grandma Fang and the others heaved heavy sighs of relief, crowding around.

Pei Qin unclenched her fists, closed her eyes slightly, and also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Grandma Fang held Jiujiu without letting go, tears streaming down, "We’ve found her! We’ve found her! But who is the damned brute who kidnapped her and then brought her back!?"

Old Scholar Fang looked towards Pei Qin.

Pei Qin’s expression was dark with fury. Now that her own daughter had been found, she really didn’t want to bother with Xiao Yi, that mischievous child! Which despicable scoundrel could have kidnapped him? Was it to threaten Xiao Guangbi or to coerce her!?
