Chapter 208: Chapter 208: An Acquaintance as the Perpetrator?

["What do you mean? Mom also has a calamity? Could it really be like we guessed before, someone is maliciously targeting military families?"]

["No way, right? What kind of scum would deliberately target military families?"]

["I don’t understand, does this mean mom will also be in trouble? Then, if someone watches over mom, can we find the child?"]

On the other side of the camera, the originally dazed mother heard these words and slightly lifted her eyes, finally looking at Scarlett Jennings, with a hint of hope in her eyes, yet she asked,

"If I endure the calamity, will my child come back safely?"

In an instant, the live broadcast audience was shocked, and the guests fell silent while Ariel Zimmerman couldn’t help but get teary-eyed.

Scarlett Jennings also paused for a moment, then said,

"Not necessarily, this is the individual calamity for both you and the child."

She said, "By analyzing your Fate Palace, we can infer that your child is currently in a safe state, so you can’t collapse. The show’s vehicle is on its way to Zhoukou City,

and I need you to recall if there’s anyone around the child who has been in close contact, someone who isn’t a family member but familiar."

"What... do you mean?" the mother’s eyes reddened, her voice hoarse, "Are you saying the person who took my child is someone familiar to me?"

"The calamity shown in your Fate Palace is connected to a thread, indicating that the person is someone you know or have seen. If you and your child’s calamities originate from the same person, then perhaps you can start the investigation there."

"Your niece said the child disappeared in the neighborhood, the police surveillance couldn’t find footage of the child being taken out, so the person might still be in the neighborhood and is someone who has interacted with you and the child."

Scarlett Jennings’ analysis instantly provided a glimmer of hope, and the mother stood up from her chair, swiftly entering a contemplative state.

Perhaps due to the anxiety, brainstorming became increasingly difficult.

Seeing this, Sebastian Carew smoothly guided her,

"Don’t rush, first think, is there anyone in the neighborhood you’ve had conflicts with? Whether it’s you or the child, has there been any clash while playing?"

The mother, following Sebastian Carew’s words, calmed down a bit, pondered, and mentioned two neighbors she and the child had minor conflicts with, such as shoving while playing or neighbors downstairs complaining about noise.

Scarlett Jennings then asked netizens to privately send her the mother’s and child’s birth dates for fortune-telling, and after some calculations, she said,

"The danger star is in the southeast direction, do you know anyone living in that orientation within the neighborhood?"

Hearing this, the mother became somewhat excited, "The family that shoved my child before lives over there, close to the neighborhood playground, so we’ve crossed paths several times! Is it her?!"

"To be sure, I need to see the person’s face, do you have a photo, or can you go there now with your phone?"

Scarlett Jennings said, not forgetting to remind, "Bring family or police officers to ensure safety."

Netizens, now unconsciously believing Scarlett Jennings and following her train of thought, immediately called their father, grabbed their phone, and headed to that family’s home.

Fortunately, they encountered the person downstairs.

Living in the same neighborhood, the person knew about the missing child, and despite past disputes, maintained politeness and inquired courteously.

Judging by her demeanor, there wasn’t any apparent suspicion.

Scarlett Jennings, after observing her face, shook her head, "It’s not her."

The netizen and their family appeared disappointed, but in the next second, Scarlett Jennings said, "However, she might know the person we are looking for, try asking about mutual acquaintances or known people."

Hearing this, the netizen quickly approached the neighbor mother, who seemed puzzled and showed a complex expression upon learning they sought the Master.

However, seeing the netizen’s aunt’s haggard and sorrowful look, she empathetically engaged in identifying mutual acquaintances.

Meanwhile, the show’s car entered Zhoukou City.

Here, through inquiries, they finally identified two mutually known families.

One was a single mother running a homemade dessert business, from whom the netizen’s aunt occasionally bought handmade cakes.

The other was a couple, whose child had passed away years ago; the mother started a mom group, often answering parenting questions, and sometimes watched children playing outside.

Both families seemed innocuous, but live broadcast viewers intuitively suspected the single mother, considering the dessert attraction to children and fewer people in the household, making it easier to hide a child.

The netizen found it logical, deciding to visit that home first.

Yet, Scarlett Jennings suddenly spoke through the live broadcast, "Start with the home where the child passed away."

The netizen trusted Scarlett Jennings more and immediately went to that home after confirming the details.

When they arrived, they encountered the male homeowner returning from a night shift, looking puzzled,

"May I ask what this is about?"

Then, after the netizen explained their purpose, the man’s face turned slightly unpleasant, but he still politely said,

"I understand your urgency to find the child, but you can’t just target anyone and demand to search their home...

Besides, you said the child went missing two days ago, I’ve been at home every day, there’s no child here."

The netizen’s aunt pleaded earnestly, while the netizen secretly aimed the phone at the man, quickly hearing Scarlett Jennings’ firm voice in the earpiece,

"It’s not him, but someone connected to him."

Hearing this, the netizen disregarded everything and squeezed into the house while their father argued with the homeowner.

The female homeowner heard the commotion and came out, paled upon seeing them, but before the netizen could ask, Scarlett Jennings’ voice came through the live broadcast,

"It’s her."

Hearing this, the netizen immediately shouted.

"Aunt! Dad! The Master said it’s her!"

The woman seemed to realize something, suddenly turned and ran.

The netizen’s aunt and father didn’t hesitate, immediately breaking into the house and chasing after her.

In the next second, they watched as the woman ran into a room, locking the door behind her.

Seeing this, the netizen’s father wasted no time and kicked the door hard.

The male homeowner was furious and was about to angrily reprimand when he heard a boy’s scream from inside,

"Ah!"

At the sound, the netizen and her family became extremely excited and kicked open the door, rushing in swiftly, but the moment they saw the scene inside, their eyes widened in shock.

The woman was clutching a three-year-old child excessively tightly, pressed against the balcony railing, looking at them with a face full of fear and defensiveness.
