Chapter 760 Why treat her like this?

Chapter 760: Chapter 760 Why treat her like this?

Su Shu’s heart tightened.

"Is... Is something wrong?"

A nightmare, could it possibly have come true?

Tang Zelin approached his wife silently, his hands steadying her.

Ji Dong fell silent for a moment, then spoke the truth.

"Group captain, sister-in-law, Xiao’ai is missing."

Su Shu froze. What did he mean Xiao’ai is missing? What does that mean?

Ji Dong, struggling to contain the turmoil inside him, tried to relay the events of Xiao’ai’s disappearance to them in as calm a manner as possible.

Xiao’ai had disappeared.

This couldn’t be kept from the group captain and his sister-in-law. Ji Dong felt helpless; he couldn’t find Xiao’ai. Standing in front of the couple, he felt like stabbing his own heart.

Tang Zelin sensed his emotional turmoil and gripped his shoulder, shaking his head slightly at him.

Ji Dong felt a sourness at his nose.

He knew Zelin didn’t blame him, and in fact, Tang Zelin felt he had no right to blame Ji Dong.

If anyone were to be blamed, it should be himself.

As the head of the family, he hadn’t been able to protect his own family member. What standing did he have to blame Ji Dong?

Su Shu’s body swayed, and Tang Zelin frowned and wrapped his arms around her, "Su Shu, don’t panic!"

"Tang Zelin, I... my chest feels tight."

"I know."

"How could Xiao’ai disappear? It’s all my fault, my fault, it’s because I wasn’t there to protect her." Su Shu’s eyes were bloodshot; she truly couldn’t accept such a turn of events.

Why was she here enduring and persisting if not to fight for a space to survive for those she was sworn to protect, for those she loved?

Why, while she was here struggling and enduring, did fate still take away her most precious relative?

In the last life, it was Tang Zelin;

In this life, is it Xiao’ai?

Why? Why has it come to this?

Overcome by a sudden rush of distress, Su Shu almost couldn’t stand. She turned and threw herself into Tang Zelin’s embrace, crying silently.

Tang Zelin let out a long sigh, his arms holding her tight.

It hurt him deeply inside, not to mention his wife who always treasured Xiao’ai like the apple of her eye.

Once Su Shu’s agitated emotions had somewhat subsided, Tang Zelin whispered in her ear, "Su Shu, calm down. If Xiao’ai really has disappeared, we’ll try to look for clues. Getting worked up won’t help."

He understood Su Shu. When she was emotionally volatile, the girl could be very stubborn, not listening to anyone.

But if she could calm down gradually, she could listen objectively to others’ opinions.

Sometimes, some things you know are right, but knowing and doing are two different things, and it’s really hard to act on them.

Tang Zelin knew that the girl in his arms had calmed down, but her body still couldn’t hide the tension and trembling.

Ji Dong stood in place, a rock-solid man who now had reddened eyes.

Enduring, suppressing that deep discomfort in his heart, when he approached Su Shu, it surged up like a tide.

Tang Zelin, his eyes slightly reddened, patted Ji Dong firmly twice.

It was unclear if the gesture was meant to comfort both of them or to give himself confidence.

"We’ll definitely find that little girl."

They would find her—she was so adorable. They had to find her; they had the system to help them.

Perhaps it really was that with more experiences, a person’s ability to endure becomes stronger. Su Shu, whose mind had been stunned by the sudden news, quickly regained her composure.

She turned and entered the system control room, using the highest authority.

The Little Mermaid leapt out from beneath the sea.
