Chapter 28: The Son Is Missing

Zhang Xiaorui, seeing that Bai Xiaobai had already sent gifts, decided to send a connection invitation in return. Just as she was about to send a video invite, she noticed Bai Xiaobai’s expression during the call. When Zhang Xiaorui answered, the image that greeted her was of a scruffy middle-aged man in his forties, his face marked by exhaustion as if he hadn’t rested for days. “Hello, host. I was wondering if you could help me find my child. My child is missing,” he said earnestly.

Xue Ding, upon hearing this, silently felt relieved that he hadn’t impulsively lashed out at Xue Li earlier; otherwise, he would have truly disheartened his subordinate. Even if he hadn’t fallen asleep then, he feared the situation could only have been handled in this manner.

A disciple of the Proud Alliance hurriedly rushed into the conference room, inadvertently interrupting the portly man as he was assaulting a guard. “Illusion again!” The Diamond Gourd Baby stamped the ground fiercely, shaking the earth and mountains. In an instant, he reached the nine-tailed fox and gripped it tightly.

As the commander, Wang Zongshou restrained his joy due to his status, but the occasional smile that flickered across his face revealed his inner excitement.

As time passed, not only did Tuka Feng and the other two share this thought, but all the men present, including the clan leader and Elder Yao, gradually began to feel the same. Even Elder Yao hoped that if it were true, it would be wonderful—just as long as they didn’t vanish without a trace.

Yi Di’s slender arms curled around his neck, her eyes fixed intently on him, filled with infatuation, showing no intention of letting go.

“Order Xue Ding: once the figure of Black Freckle is spotted, monitor his movements closely,” Xue Ping commanded.

After dispersing the many members, we ascended to the company’s top floor, where a large conference room awaited. Senior Dongfang, members of the Zhou family, and the Chu family were already inside. Chu Yaqi, seeing her parents, rushed into their arms.

“I am here!” Li Shenfu, his beard now white, responded promptly. Though aged and frail, his front was soaked with sweat from the strain.

Tie Frong pressed several acupressure points on Princess Jielan to stop the bleeding and ease the pain, then with one firm pull of his right hand, he extracted the short dagger lodged in her chest. The princess fainted from the pain.

Hermione swiftly carried away a large cup of milk before an owl landed nearby, also delivering a bowl of creamy soup to Ron.

Such a reward left Lu Tian momentarily stunned; others grew breathless with anticipation.

Lin felt he had seen the boy somewhere before, yet couldn’t be certain. Boys this age weren’t rare, and many looked similar. Yet, this one gave off a different impression.

In a fit of anger, Zhao Chong struck Zhao Haoran with a palm, injuring him severely and damaging the foundation of his cultivation.

Rolo nodded and said, “Then we must hold out for more than five days; hope is just within reach.”

The ghostly beings that had been surging forward en masse moments ago were suddenly parted like waves by the dragon’s tail in an instant.

“I’m logging into the game. Aren’t you coming? Then you should go to bed early,” Han Bing said as he put his headset on.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhen had already used the Phantom Dash during the hijacking, and his condition had deteriorated to an extreme.

Lin rolled his eyes. After exhausting himself completing all the quests and storylines these past few days, he finally leveled up, yet there was not a single extra reward.

“You’re wrong! Every time, it convinces me that when facing enemies, one must utterly annihilate them!” the man in white said.

Zhao Fengjiao nodded in agreement, though she felt her son’s worry was unnecessary. She, however, did not know how well her son truly understood Gu Bei.

As they flew over Cola Town, Gaara suddenly halted mid-air. Neither Onoki nor Raikage had prepared for this, nearly falling due to inertia.
