"Jiao Er, what's wrong? Are you feeling cold?" Ye Zixun happened to look up and saw the scene from earlier.
Mu Jiao'er awkwardly shook her head, looking at Ye Zixun with a guilty conscience, afraid that he might notice anything unusual.
"I'm fine, really. I just got startled by your fierce words earlier and suddenly felt cold. I'm much better now, really..."
"Is that so? I didn't notice that I was being fierce. The food is here, so let's eat quickly. I need to head back early."
With Ye Ziru not at home, brother Mu had been in a bad mood. They had argued before leaving, and as soon as they returned home, brother Mu clung to her, whether it was to argue or to behave obediently; she would not allow him to be alone.
It wouldn't do to return too late.
brother Mu was probably throwing another tantrum at home right now.
She had gathered most of the information she needed, and Mu Jiao'er didn't want to spend too much time with Ye Zixun at this hour.
She feared that the longer she stayed with Ye Zixun, the more likely she would slip up. If he really figured something out, it could put her life in danger.
Moreover, Ye Zixun today was more terrifying than he had been in any of the past few years; it sent chills down her spine. Sitting across from him, Mu Jiao'er could feel waves of cold wind hitting her, making her feet numb.
"Alright then, if you have things at home, calling you out was already a bit inconsiderate. It would be wrong to keep you here against your will. It's better for you to head back early."
Ye Zixun said no more, focusing all his energy on finding Ye Ziru.
To Ye Zixun's ears, Mu Jiao'er's chatter sounded like a pile of meaningless words without any substance or relevance!
If she truly understood her inconsideration, she wouldn't keep calling him and wouldn't have tricked him into coming to this restaurant tonight.
What is Mu Jiao'er thinking? She's truly an annoying, foolish woman.
The Western meal was quickly finished because Ye Zixun had no interest in dining with Mu Jiao'er. After Mu Jiao'er learned what she wanted to know, she lost interest as well, especially seeing the coldness emanating from Ye Zixun, wishing that dinner would end quickly.
It was just past nine o'clock when Ye Zixun finally sent Mu Jiao'er home. However, as soon as he stepped into the living room, a servant rushed over with a serious expression.
Ye Zixun immediately sensed something was wrong at home and asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why are you so anxious? It's already nine o'clock; aren't you afraid of disturbing Grandfather and the young master? Where is everyone?"
"The family has all gone out to look for Brother Mu," the servant replied, a hint of fear in her voice.
Looking for Brother Mu? Ye Zixun's face changed dramatically. What on earth happened? Where could Brother Mu be?
He had only been gone for a short while; how could Brother Mu have disappeared?
"Do you know why they are looking for Brother Mu?" Ye Zixun was nearly ready to roar in panic.
"Young master, please don't worry. The master and everyone else have gone out to find Brother Mu. He slipped out while everyone was distracted; he must have gone to find Sister Ye Ziru.
He has only been missing for twenty minutes; everyone is already out looking for him. It should be fine!"
Damn it!
Ye Zimu really knows how to cause trouble. With the situation already chaotic, why is he acting up?
He had only left for less than two hours, and now Ye Zimu had gone missing. One after another, they really inherited Lan Baobao's traits.
Ye Zimu is not the same as Lan Baobao; his thought process is still somewhat similar to Ye Zixun's. With this group of servants out searching, they might not even be able to find him.
If he didn't want others to find him, it would be difficult for those servants, with their intelligence, to locate him.
"Is everyone at home gone?"
"Yes, because the master instructed that we should wait until the young master returns before giving you anything, so I'm the only one left here!"
"Then you stay at home and wait. As soon as brother Mu comes back, call me immediately, understand?"
The servant nodded immediately upon hearing his command.
After Ye Zixun left home, he drove around searching for a long time but found nothing. He even called back to check in, but there was still no news.
He had no idea where brother Mu had gone; with so many people out together, there wasn't a single clue.
"Damn it, how did that useful brain get inherited by him?"
Ye Zixun cursed himself a couple of times and wandered aimlessly on the road.
Finally, he thought of the crime scene. brother Mu had run out of the house because of Ye Ziru's incident; it made sense for his son to return to the crime scene to look for clues. That clever kid always knew it was reasonable to search for clues at the scene.
With that thought, Ye Zixun immediately drove toward the crime scene.
Before long, he arrived at the crime scene. He opened the car door and rushed out to look for his son's figure.
" brother Mu, brother Mu... where are you? I'm really worried about you; if you hear my voice, respond!"
There was no response, and Ye Zixun could only continue searching.
Ye Zixun always felt that Brother Mu would be in this place for some reason.
He turned on the flashlight feature on his phone and searched around in the darkness. This open area seemed particularly eerie at night, resembling a location for filming a horror movie.
Suddenly, Ye Zixun heard a "ah" sound, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart as he sought the source of the voice.
Out of nowhere, a shadow flashed across the pitch-black night, seemingly trying to escape in a hurry.
Ye Zixun quickly chased after it and grabbed hold of the figure.
When the child was lifted up, Ye Zixun finally saw the face under the moonlight; it was his son's face.
"Sure enough, it's you. Why didn't you speak when you heard my voice just now?" Ye Zixun pretended to be angry, but in reality, he was not angry; he was anxious after realizing that Brother Mu had also been missing for these past few minutes.
"Do you have any idea how worried your family has been since you suddenly disappeared? Do you want to make Great-Grandfather worry himself to death just to feel happy?"
"But... but we still haven't found Ye Ziru! If we can't find her soon, will she die..."
It was the first time Ye Zixun heard Brother Mu speak in such a weak voice, tinged with a hint of tears. It reminded him that no matter how arrogant or proud this child might be, he was still just a kindergarten kid, and he was the child of him and Lan Baobao.
"You really are a fool!" Ye Zixun felt a pang in his nose. However, not wanting his son to worry about him in return, he spoke with a firm tone: "How could anything happen to Ye Ziru? She is Daddy's daughter, Brother Mu's sister; no one dares to hurt Ye Ziru, understand?"
"But how could they dare to kidnap Ye Ziru? We've been searching for so long and haven't found her. Could it be that they have already..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ye Zixun shouted softly. It was the first time he had lost his temper like this in front of Brother Mu.
In the past, even when he got angry or argued, it was just playful banter with the child. But this time, Ye Zixun was not just playing around; he was genuinely a bit angry.
As an older brother, how could he abandon his own sister?
"I thought you were a smart person, but it turns out you're just as foolish. If they really wanted to kill Ye Ziru, they would have come after me first and probably already delivered the body to me.
The fact that there has been no news so far proves that Ye Ziru is definitely still alive. Don't worry, I will bring Ye Ziru back safely!"
But why was she kidnapped in the first place? Ye Zixun himself sought an answer.
Was it for money? Fame? Or did they see the child over there and just decided to kidnap her without caring whose child she was, planning to come back later with demands?
That would be somewhat acceptable, but the worst-case scenario was...
If they were not kidnappers but human traffickers, that would be disastrous.
Their Ye Ziru was so beautiful and adorable, with eyes that could melt anyone's heart. No matter how she was sold, she could fetch a good price.
No, he couldn't let his guard down at this critical moment; he had to control every point of access in the dark room. Every transaction involving people had to be monitored!
Ye Zixun looked down at his son, who seemed incredibly cute today.
Indeed, children should look like children; being too mature wasn't very endearing.
"Alright, alright, Daddy will definitely bring Ye Ziru back safely. You don't need to worry. If something happened to you too, Great-Grandfather would be furious!"
Ye Zixun didn't want to burden his son with too much of this information. He quickly picked up his son and headed toward where he had parked.
Brother Mu suddenly looked up and pouted seriously, "Going home? Then you won't be going on a date with Mu Jiao'er tonight?"
"Ah? Who am I going to date? I've already been with you. I'm just going to shut that woman's mouth!"
"What are you betting on?" Brother Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Just a moment ago, those tearful, watery eyes were now flashing with disdain and suspicion.
Ye Zixun felt three claw marks cross his heart.
This guy was still as unlovable as ever...
"I'm relying on my killing intent!"
Can killing intent really silence a woman?
That Mu Jiao'er is a very tough person; if just relying on "killing intent" could make her keep her mouth shut, that would be quite a wonder.
Brother Mu still seemed a bit skeptical, "Really? But it sounds a bit mystical. Isn't that woman a carnivore? Would she really let you go easily without getting her fill?"
