Chapter 944: 621

Sitting on the other side of Jing Nuo, Mu Lin didn’t speak, simply looking indifferently at the solemn expression on his little face.

His eyebrows were lightly raised, at this moment, Jing Nuo really was a spitting image of Jing Chen.

Her gaze shifted to Jing Chen beside her, at this time, Jing Chen’s eyes were also fixed on his own son.

This boy, indeed, was acting a bit off.

Feeling Mu Lin’s gaze on him, Jing Chen looked back at her, meeting her gaze and slightly lifting the corners of his mouth. He reached out, took her hand in his, and squeezed it, "Don’t worry, this boy doesn’t even know what fear is yet."

This naively arrogant boy, how could he be scared?

Mu Lin didn’t speak, her eyes downcast, seemingly pondering something.

Song Qi soon returned from his phone call, and the old Grandpa looked at him, "How did it go?"

Song Qi: "They said they’re still interrogating the man we just caught, but it seems they haven’t gotten anything useful out of him. He claims he did it for the money, a child worth ten thousand USD." He paused before continuing, "We haven’t found out much so far. They only know that the person is not one of our own, but as for which country he is from, they still haven’t completely figured it out, though... they have suspicions."

"Suspecting who?" the Grandpa frowned,

Gong Muxue: "A child is worth ten thousand USD!" Anger was hard to dispel from the depths of her eyes, "For ten thousand dollars, can they really obliterate their humanity!" Simply unforgivable.

Gong Muxue understood the deep pain of losing a child, a pain so profound that now, over thirty mothers were experiencing what she had once gone through.

Jing Chen looked at Gong Muxue, "Mom, for ordinary people, ten thousand USD is enough for them to take the risk."

Mu Lin: "Ten thousand USD, which is nearly seventy thousand RMB, for those idle and unambitious people who only dream of striking it rich overnight, it’s like an unexpected windfall."

"For that amount of money, they can be reckless with their lives." She had seen too many of such people.

There were countless people who fought tooth and nail over a few hundred, a few thousand RMB, let alone seventy thousand.

The Grandpa looked at Mu Lin and Jing Chen, "Xiaochen, Linlin, do you have any ideas?" Such matters could actually be considered a special mission.

If they had a way, he would apply for them to join as well.

If this matter isn’t resolved soon, there would be countless more missing children.

Jing Chen shook his head, "Not at the moment."

Mu Lin didn’t speak.

The Grandpa sighed, "It looks like for now, all we can do is hope this matter will be resolved soon." Otherwise, it seems we can only wait for more news.

At this moment, the Grandpa didn’t know that the event that would frighten and worry him was soon to occur.

The next day, early morning, it was just around four in the morning, a small figure stealthily made its way downstairs, sneaking into the backyard.

At this moment, Qiaozi and Yinzi were still in the middle of a deep sleep.

Suddenly, the rich scent of chicken legs filled the air, and both of them instantly opened their eyes to see the little one standing before them, giving them quite a start.

Next moment, Qiaozi’s stomach very opportunely growled.

"Want some?" A sweet smile filled the little rosy-cheeked face as Nuonuo looked at Qiaozi and Yinzi, tempting them.

Without a moment’s hesitation, they nodded eagerly, their heads bobbing like a rattle drum.

Of course they wanted some.

"If you want some, you need to take me flying out." The little one began to set terms.

However, Qiaozi’s head immediately started shaking like a rattle drum.

No no no! If I take you out again, Little Mu Lin will pluck my feathers and make soup from them.

Mu Lin was truly capable of doing such a thing, even without making soup, her feathers were good as gone!

Nuonuo: "If you don’t take me out, not only will you miss out on these chicken legs, I will also... pluck your feathers." Everyone in the Jing family knew that what Qiaozi treasured the most was the splendid white feathers on her body.

Qiaozi: Little Nuonuo, don’t bully.

Yinzi: "Little master, go ahead and pluck, I’ll help you!" Clearly reveling in another’s misfortune, Qiaozi immediately went for a mouthful, but gracefully dodged it.

Couldn’t bite, couldn’t bite.

Taking delight in Qiaozi’s misfortune from atop, Yinzi swished its tail in the air, while Qiaozi flapped its wings, attempting to catch and eat the annoying black snake.

Jing Nuo: "Stop fighting you two, if you wake Grandpa, Uncle Song, and the rest, then I’ll... I’ll really get angry." Still somewhat unsure of how to threaten effectively.
