Chapter 637: Has Tiantian Returned?

Li Beijue and Cai Xiaotang neither expected Li Xiao to suddenly make a move, and both were stunned for a moment before hurriedly catching Jiang Baobao.

"How is it? Is there any news?" Cai Xiaotang asked hurriedly.

Li Xiao's expression was somewhat grave; he shook his head and looked at Jiang Baobao with some unease.

"It's too chaotic here, take her back first, as for Tiantian..."

Li Xiao stopped halfway through his sentence, suddenly pausing, at a loss for how to continue.

All three of them had more or less of a premonition in their hearts.

Li Beijue's expression was so cold it was as if he wanted to kill someone.

"If she was truly taken by the people from the Poison Snake, there shouldn't be any danger to her life in the short term. I will have people investigate. Since he chose to go to such great lengths to take Tiantian, he must have other motives."

It was rare for Li Xiao's thoughts to be in such disarray, but he merely urged: "In any case, leave this side to me, you take her back first."

"Alright."

Li Beijue did not say anything more and left while holding Jiang Baobao.

Cai Xiaotang took a deep look at Li Xiao and also intended to leave, but was suddenly called back by him.

"Xiao Tang."

Cai Xiaotang paused her steps and turned her head to look at him.

The atmosphere between the two was somewhat subtle.

Li Xiao was silent for a long while before he spoke: "You should stay with Jiang Baobao these few days, watch out for your safety."

"Got it." Cai Xiaotang's gaze flickered for an instant; she suppressed the words "be careful" in her heart, turned around, and left.

One hour later—Jiang Baobao was sent back to the Li Mansion.

Today's events had caused such a massive stir that they had already reached the top of the trending searches.

The situation with Li Laoyezi was not very good either; the old man was advanced in age, and after being choked by the smoke from the explosion, his old ailments flared up.

Li Beijue made a phone call to inquire, temporarily concealing the fact that Tiantian had been taken, and only then returned to the room to stay with Jiang Baobao, who had not yet woken up.

Another hour passed, and Jiang Baobao finally opened her eyes slowly.

She scanned the surrounding environment with a dazed look, and in the next second, she suddenly sat up abruptly from the bed!

"Tiantian! Where is Tiantian? Has Tiantian been found?"

She looked at Li Beijue by the bedside, her chest heaving continuously as she gasped for air.

Li Beijue opened his mouth but did not speak; he merely pulled her hand over and gently rubbed the back of her hand with his fingers.

Jiang Baobao understood everything in an instant.

"I want to go find her."

She struggled to get out of bed but was pulled into an embrace by Li Beijue.

"Baobao, you... please calm down a little. Uncle has already had people investigating, and if there is any news, we will be notified immediately..."

"How do you expect me to calm down! Tiantian might have already been taken away by bad people! What if that group of people abuses her?"

Jiang Baobao dared not think about it in detail; her whole body was trembling.

That was the little princess she held in the palm of her heart...

She would feel heartbroken even if she just tripped and fell...

If she really fell into the hands of that group, how would they treat her?

Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking this, she heard the bedroom door being pushed open.

Cai Xiaotang walked in with Mobai and Yanbao, all of them looking at her with concern.

"Mommy, you're awake?"

Mobai trotted over and sat by the bedside, looking at Jiang Baobao with worry, his little brows tightly furrowed.

Although he was worried about Tiantian in his heart, he dared not ask.

"Mobai, Yanbao..."

Jiang Baobao could not help but shed tears again; she held Mobai with one hand and Yanbao with the other, tears streaming down silently.

"What should I do... Tiantian is gone, it's all Mommy's fault, it's Mommy who didn't protect her well, which is why she was snatched away by bad people..."

"Mommy, don't cry!"

As soon as Mobai and Yanbao saw Jiang Baobao crying, they hurriedly helped her wipe away her tears, looking at Li Beijue for help.

Li Beijue's heart was also heavy; he spoke in a deep voice: "You two stay here and keep Mommy company first, Daddy is going to make a phone call..."

After he finished speaking, he cast a glance at Cai Xiaotang and then left.

The door closed, and Cai Xiaotang also sat beside Jiang Baobao with a heavy heart, yet she was powerless to help.

None of them could empathize with the pain of losing a child the way Jiang Baobao did!

"Baobao... that little girl Tiantian will surely be blessed by fortune, nothing will happen to her..."

Just as she finished speaking, Mobai also comforted her: "That's right, Mommy! Look, I was also snatched away by bad people before, but Daddy and Mommy rescued me back, Tiantian will definitely be fine too!"

Several people tried their best to comfort Jiang Baobao, yet they were all equally anxious and worried about Tiantian in their hearts.

Jiang Baobao shook her head, merely holding the two little ones in silence without speaking.

Outside the room—Li Beijue, unsurprisingly, heard disappointing news over the phone once again.

Nearly three hours had passed since Tiantian went missing.

Li Beijue had long since had people collect all the suspicious vehicles in the vicinity when the explosion occurred, but almost every guest who came to attend the wedding had driven, which greatly increased the difficulty of the investigation.

A gloomy atmosphere shrouded the entire Li Mansion.

Waiting until evening, Li Beijue still had not received any good news.

Jiang Baobao had also sat dazed in the room for an entire day, without a drop of water to drink.

"Baobao, eat something; your body won't be able to hold up like this."

Li Beijue had the kitchen prepare some food, wanting to persuade Jiang Baobao to eat a little.

Jiang Baobao, however, only shook her head in silence, not wanting to say a single word; no one could persuade her.

Li Beijue had no choice but to give up.

He himself had also been unable to eat anything all day; this feeling of just being able to wait was truly about to torture him to death.

The night grew deeper—yet there was still no news coming in.

Li Beijue and the two little ones stayed by Jiang Baobao's side the entire time.

Jiang Baobao waited until the second half of the night before she finally succumbed to her exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.

Li Beijue, however, did not have the slightest bit of sleepiness.

He tucked the blankets in for Jiang Baobao and the two little ones on the bed, then intended to go find some quiet alone.

But he did not expect that as soon as he stood up—a car engine sound suddenly came from downstairs!

That sound was exceptionally distinct in the silent dead of night.

Almost at the same time, Jiang Baobao, who had just fallen asleep, also sat up abruptly from the bed, staring wide-eyed at the window!

"Who is back? Is it Li Xiao bringing Tiantian back?"

As she asked, she immediately rolled out of bed, not even bothering to put on her shoes, and ran straight out.

Li Beijue hurriedly followed.

The two of them arrived at the living room and saw that Li Xiao had just walked in.

"Where is Tiantian? Has Tiantian been found?"

Jiang Baobao asked anxiously, her eyes constantly looking behind Li Xiao, only to discover with disappointment that he had come alone.

Tiantian had not been found...

Jiang Baobao clenched her fists tightly, using all her strength to keep her spirits up.

Li Xiao's expression was serious; he glanced at the two of them and lowered his voice.

"I have something to tell you both; let's go to the study."
