Chapter 651: Chapter 649: Tell You Some Good News!_1

But Mu Ziqing couldn’t care less about whether his voice sounded good or not; she had become accustomed to it after listening for so long.

What shocked her now were the words he had said!

What did he say?

He knew where the person they were looking for was?

"You... you know where Xiaoxiao is?" Mu Ziqing’s voice trembled so much that it didn’t sound like her own.

Throughout this time, she felt these were the most exciting words he had ever said!

Hearing her so agitated, the other party suddenly fell silent, leading Mu Ziqing to urgently ask, "Come on, speak! Where is Xiaoxiao?"

After a long pause, the reply finally came, "I’m not sure if it’s her..."

Mu Ziqing felt like a balloon deflating--

"Then why did you just say you knew where the person we’re looking for is?"

"If I hadn’t said that, would you have answered the phone? But... indeed, the reason I called you this time is concerning this matter..."

Mu Ziqing’s heart rose and fell with his words, like a roller coaster, not to mention how heart-wrenching it was...

"Do you actually know or not..." Mu Ziqing’s words carried a hint of complaint.

"There’s a fifty percent chance it’s them..."

"Where?" Mu Ziqing asked eagerly.

"On a small island in the sea territory of E Country..."

Mu Ziqing’s eyes immediately widened with joy; with him being so specific, perhaps Xiaoxiao really was there!

In her excitement, Mu Ziqing felt somewhat embarrassed as she said, "How did you find out?"

"Didn’t you blame me for this last time? So I had no choice but to make amends..." There was a hint of helplessness in the speaker’s tone.

Hearing this made Mu Ziqing’s ears burn with heat. Wasn’t that the very day Xiaoxiao had completely disappeared?

But it had only been three days, today being the fourth, and he had already found out the news. How did he manage to do it?

"How... how did you find out? You’re not deceiving me, are you..." Mu Ziqing was somewhat skeptical.

"If you want to find out, you naturally can, and, no, I’m absolutely not joking with you. Right now, I’m still not sure whether that’s the person you’re looking for. Tell your brother to come to E Country as soon as possible. I’ll host him when he arrives, and it would be best if you could come along..." For the first time, Huo En said so much to Mu Ziqing.

Mu Ziqing blinked twice, "That might not be possible, under these circumstances, Daddy, Mommy, and brother will definitely not let me go..." They hardly even allow her outside now.

Huo En thought for a moment then nodded in acceptance, "Alright, in some time, I’ll come to see you..."

"Don’t..." Mu Ziqing refused.

"You don’t get to decide..." Huo En said, effectively silencing Mu Ziqing.

Mu Ziqing pursed her lips in speechlessness and then in urgency added, "That’s it then, I must quickly share this news with Daddy and brother..."

A light laugh from Huo En, and then he nodded in agreement.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Ziqing immediately jumped down from the swing and ran towards the main building, her face flushed with excitement.

Mu Yingchen, Mu Zisu, and Pei Mojing had just descended from the second floor to the living room on the first when they saw a visibly excited Mu Ziqing running towards them, her previous listlessness completely gone.

Mu Yingchen raised an eyebrow. Had the little girl finally seen the light?

Was she no longer insisting that everything was her fault?

"Daddy, brother... I have good news to tell you!" Mu Ziqing, panting heavily, arrived in front of the three men.

Upon hearing her words, Mu Zisu and Pei Mojing couldn’t help but raise their eyebrows as well. Good news? Currently, aside from Xiaoxiao’s whereabouts, other news could hardly be considered good...

"I know of a place where Xiaoxiao might be..." Mu Ziqing said, pausing to catch her breath.

The three men were immediately stunned, seeming somewhat disbelieving of Mu Ziqing’s words. First, she had hardly ever left the house; second, how could she know where Xiaoxiao was?

Seeing their expressions, Mu Ziqing realized they didn’t believe her, just as she had initially not believed Huo En.

She took a deep breath and looked at them earnestly, "I’m not joking with you, I’m serious... Xiaoxiao might really be there..."

"Where?" Mu Zisu asked first.

"On a small island in the territorial waters of E Country..." Mu Ziqing repeated the location Huo En had told her.

Mu Zisu’s eyebrows quirked up, a glint of hope flickering in his eyes.

Surprised, Mu Yingchen asked Mu Ziqing, "Qiqi... how do you know?" Who had told her that Xiaoxiao was there?

If Xiaoxiao was there, it would mean Ding Nianzi and the Qinglong Association were there too!

Mu Ziqing’s expression faltered briefly before she forced herself to remain calm, scratching her head as she spoke, "It’s a friend of mine from abroad. I accidentally slipped the other day, and he said he’d help me check. He just called and said there’s a fifty percent chance she’s there..."

"Qiqi... your friend, is he..." Mu Yingchen didn’t doubt Mu Ziqing’s words but he was skeptical about the reliability of the friend she mentioned.

"Daddy, trust me, I’m sure what he said is true..." Mu Ziqing said with unwavering belief.

Mu Yingchen couldn’t help but chuckle—

"Dad... I want to go check it out..." Mu Zisu looked at Mu Yingchen. Whether it was true or false, he had to see for himself. He couldn’t miss any chance of finding Xiaoxiao. If what Qiqi’s friend said was true and he didn’t go, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Mu Yingchen understood Mu Zisu’s temperament, for his stubbornness was just like his own. If there was even the slightest chance, he would surely investigate.

"Alright... Notify the Qinglong Association to meet you there..."

"Mhm..." Mu Zisu nodded, not wanting to miss even a one percent chance, let alone fifty percent.

The howling sea breeze drifted in through the open window into the empty room, mixed with the sounds of crashing waves and the cries of seagulls, strangely soothing...

Xiaoxiao huddled on the cold floor, listening intently to the sounds around her. She had been here for three days, oblivious to her exact location, but she could tell they were by the seaside, her favorite place by the sea...

Yet she couldn’t calm down to fully enjoy the tranquil moments because she knew she was in danger...

Her current situation was much like Zhao Shushu’s had been...

Here, there was no one to help her. The people around her were extreme and mad, prone to fits of anger. A single disagreement would immediately escalate to violence. Although she was always locked in this room, she could hear the sounds of arguments outside during the day and night, sometimes accompanied by startling gunfire...

She didn’t know who these people were, nor which place this was. She could only use the noise and silence to distinguish between day and night, silently counting the time, calculating how long she had been taken to this place...
