Chapter 636: Must Find Tiantian

~7 min read 1,286 words

A few minutes later, Jiang Baobao had changed her clothes and hurriedly rushed back with Li Beijue.

Seeing Li Xiao and Cai Xiaotang standing over there from a distance, he rushed over and asked, "Where is Tiantian? Have you found her?"

The expressions of both Li Xiao and Cai Xiaotang were somewhat solemn; the two looked at each other, and neither spoke.

Jiang Baobao froze for a moment, her heart subconsciously tightening.

"You didn't find her, did you? I'll go look!"

As she spoke, she turned and ran away without looking back.

"Baobao!!!"

Cai Xiaotang and Li Beijue chased after her in unison.

Li Xiao's complexion was also quite poor; he asked in a low voice toward his earpiece, "Have you still not found Tiantian?"

"Not yet..."

The person on the other end of the earpiece was also somewhat helpless: "Shura, we have investigated everyone, and we haven't found any suspicious individuals. He might have already..."

The man was silent for a moment, then helplessly continued, "He might have already escaped."

A flash of ferocity suddenly crossed Li Xiao's eyes.

"I have seen his face; he cannot escape. Never mind him for now, search for Tiantian's whereabouts with full force. Once you find her, bring her back immediately!!!"

Li Xiao gave a low-voiced command, and after finishing, he immediately chased in the direction Jiang Baobao had just run off to.

Inside the massive venue, Jiang Baobao was searching aimlessly everywhere.

She had searched almost all the nearby tables, chairs, dining counters, and behind the flower beds where one could hide.

Yet she still did not see the figure of that little girl.

"Tiantian! Tiantian!"

Jiang Baobao shouted Tiantian's name loudly, her tone uncontrollably laced with a sobbing quality.

"Baobao, don't be anxious, we will help you search together, Tiantian will definitely be fine..."

Cai Xiaotang was also somewhat anxious, but she dared not show it too obviously in front of Jiang Baobao, and could only do her best to soothe her.

Li Beijue also notified his men, ordering them to expand the search area.

The scene was in complete disarray.

Most of the guests had already fled, leaving only the few people who originally lived in the manor and Li Xiao's men, who were together escorting the wounded and clearing the scene.

Just at this moment—"Mommy!"

The shouts of two little ones suddenly came from not far away.

Jiang Baobao subconsciously turned around and saw Mobai and Yanbao running toward her.

"Mommy, have you found little sister?"

Mobai asked directly as soon as he came up.

Jiang Baobao shook her head slightly, her face somewhat blank.

"Li Beijue... where do you think Tiantian would go? It was so chaotic at the time, she shouldn't have been able to run far..."

Jiang Baobao tried her best to calm herself down, analyzing the situation at the time in her mind, and a sinister premonition gradually arose.

Cai Xiaotang also suddenly thought of something and tentatively said, "Is it possible... that Tiantian was close to one of the guests nearby at the time?"

"So she has already been taken out by someone..."

Upon hearing this, Li Beijue immediately picked up his phone again: "I'll go have someone ask."

As he spoke, he dialed a call.

Jiang Baobao and the two little ones immediately stared at him nervously.

A few seconds later, the call connected; Li Beijue asked a question toward the other end of the line, waited for a while, replied with just a "Got it," and hung up the phone.

"How is it? Is there any news?"

Jiang Baobao's eyes held some expectation.

Li Beijue, however, shook his head helplessly: "I've already asked. Those who were rescued have all been sent to the Hospital, and those who weren't injured have already left. No one has seen any trace of Tiantian."

"How could this be..."

Jiang Baobao's heart sank, and then, thinking of something, she suddenly looked at the two little ones: "Mobai, Yanbao, you two were closest to Tiantian at the time, did you really not see anything?"

"We..."

The two little ones subconsciously looked at each other, their expressions both somewhat troubled.

The explosion happened too suddenly.

The heatwave in that instant had almost knocked over everyone nearby.

The three little ones were also uncontrollably thrown forward.

By the time they regained their senses, they just happened to see each other lying nearby, but Tiantian, who had been sandwiched between the two, did not know where she had been blown to.

The two little ones thought for a long time, then both shook their heads with bitter faces.

Jiang Baobao's heart, however, felt as if it had sunk to the bottom of the sea, cold and biting.

"If it wasn't a guest who took Tiantian away, then could it be... those people who caused the explosion?"

Jiang Baobao spoke in a low voice, but halfway through, she dared not continue.

If Tiantian was truly taken away by them, the consequences were simply unthinkable!

Did they want money?

Or was it just pure revenge?

Jiang Baobao felt cold all over; thinking of the time she and Cai Xiaotang were kidnapped and nearly lost their lives, her legs suddenly went weak, and she nearly fainted on the spot.

"Baobao!!!"

Li Beijue and Cai Xiaotang were startled by her and hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

"Baobao... why don't we send you back first? Li Xiao and Li Beijue are here..."

"I'm not going back."

Jiang Baobao refused without the slightest hesitation: "How can I go back when Tiantian hasn't been found?"

As she spoke, she pushed away their hands and continued to turn her head toward the corridor not far away.

"Tiantian! Tiantian? Where are you... if you don't come out, Mommy is going to worry..."

Tears were already swirling in Jiang Baobao's eyes, hoping that in the next second, that mischievous little girl would pop out from behind some pillar and smile while acting spoiled toward her.

"Tiantian! *Cough, cough*... *cough, cough, cough*..."

Jiang Baobao's throat had originally been choked by thick smoke, and now it was already somewhat hoarse; suddenly, she began to cough violently.

"Baobao!!!"

Li Beijue was equally anxious and heartbroken to see her in this state, so he had to persuade her again: "It's too chaotic here, and we don't know if another explosion will happen. Listen to me, go back to the car and wait first. The people here will continue to search, and as soon as there is news about Tiantian, we will tell you immediately..."

"I can't calm down right now..."

Jiang Baobao looked at Li Beijue almost pleadingly: "Li Beijue... I beg you, don't make me stay alone... I can't stop myself from thinking, if those people took Tiantian away, will they let her go? She is still so small... it's all my fault... it's all my fault for not protecting her well..."

Jiang Baobao's mind was in a state of chaos, and she fell into deep self-reproach.

Li Beijue was incredibly heartbroken and hurriedly pulled her into his arms: "This matter is my fault! It is entirely my responsibility. It was because I didn't take proper security measures that those people had an opportunity to exploit. But Baobao, believe me, we will definitely do our best to find Tiantian, okay? She certainly wouldn't want to see you like this..."

While comforting her, Li Beijue saw Li Xiao walking toward them.

"No, I'm still going to search with you all..."

Jiang Baobao wiped away her tears, firmly intending to stay.

Just as she intended to turn around, she suddenly felt a dull pain in the back of her neck!

The next second, everything before her eyes plunged into complete darkness.
