Chapter 154: Chapter 154 Seeking

How could Su Miao not understand these things?

If it hadn’t been for her and Su Jinxiu being at odds, the child would never have been stolen! Although she used a strategy to make everyone think Su Jinxiu was unreasonable, the truth was she wasn’t doing well either. At the very least, she had asked her uncle for money. If her uncle, in a moment of anger over the lost child, revealed the truth, her life would be over.

So she was extremely anxious. Where on earth was the child? Who was so wicked!

She was so worried that blisters quickly appeared on her lips.

The person was, of course, Ding Quan. This guy initially saw the two women arguing and thought it was just entertainment. But gradually, as the whole family came out and many surrounded them, he suddenly had an idea.

The village head’s family was not just wealthy. If I could take the opportunity to sneak in and steal something to sell, it would be good. So, he quietly went inside while everyone was watching. Who would have guessed that the place he entered was precisely the room where Su Jinxiu and Zhao Yingjun were staying? Inside, he saw the child asleep under the moonlight and almost instantly decided to throw away the outer blanket and wrap the child in a small quilt to carry him away, running nonstop toward another village.

Su Minjian and Zhao Yingjun started a nighttime search with the villagers, blocking all village entrances. However, after several hours, with dawn approaching, there was still no sign of the child. Several villagers had caught a cold in the freezing weather. But since it was the village head’s family, they dared not say anything and continued searching.

"This can’t go on!" Su Minjian, anxious as could be, exclaimed, "This can’t go on! If it continues, the child will surely be taken away, I need to find Gu Junming!"

Although Su Miao had spoken ill of Gu Junming and was at odds with him, the man was indeed capable! Regardless of embarrassment, she ran to Gu Junming’s house.

Having been through a disturbance caused by Ding Quan, they had just fallen asleep, only to be awakened again.

Gu Junming was the first to rush out, surprised at the sight outside: "What happened?" It looked like there were a dozen young men from the village, all carrying flashlights, with frost forming on their brows and eyelids. What could be happening in such cold weather?

Su Minjian, panting heavily, pleaded, "Gu Junming, please help us! My sister’s eldest son is missing, just now. We beg you, help us find him! If the child isn’t found, our entire family won’t survive!" His voice trembling with emotion.

Su Minjian had been the village head for decades, and he had never been this way. The villagers felt sad too. For the local people, a son is a lifeline!

Zhao Yingjun supported Su Minjian, "Brother, it’s not your fault. My wife was being unreasonable."

"No, it’s my daughter’s fault for being so troublesome. Now if Da Bao is lost like this, my wife and I really..."

Gu Junming said, "It’s only been a couple of hours, and there’s no vehicle in the village, they shouldn’t have gone far. I’ll follow you and help find him!"

By this time, Wang Shufen and Sun Chan of the Wang family, along with others, were also up and aware of what was going on.

Gu Junming put on a padded coat and was about to leave when Sun Chan was also ready, saying, "Let’s look together."

"You stay behind! It’s the coldest time now."

"It won’t be cold once we start moving, and I can’t sleep anyway. Come on, I’m well prepared with layers!" Sun Chan smiled slightly, holding Gu Junming’s hand.

Seeing her determination, Gu Junming didn’t argue further and took her along.

Sun Chan and Su Miao were equally beautiful, but unfortunately, Zhao Yingjun was too consumed with worry about his son to notice. They followed Gu Junming, placing all their hope in him.

However, Gu Junming didn’t hurry towards the village entrance but headed back to the Su family.

Zhao Yingjun asked, "Brother Gu, what are you doing?"

"Hmm, anyone who came must have left traces, we just need to search for them."

Sun Chan agreed, "Indeed, there must be clues."

Su Minjian sent the villagers home to rest, following Gu Junming. These people were freezing, and he couldn’t let them continue without rest. Soon, they reached the Su family home.

Su Miao saw Gu Junming and brightened up, rushing over, "Brother Gu, you came?"

Gu Junming nodded silently, entering the small room where Zhao Yingjun stayed and soon found the footprints. Sun Chan looked at them and said, "It’s a man’s footprint."

"Indeed. Quite large." Gu Junming continued examining, then followed the trail with a flashlight into the yard, where the footprints led to the back door.

Everyone’s hearts tightened as they followed Gu Junming.

In carrying the child, Ding Quan naturally couldn’t use the main door to avoid detection, while the back door had no neighbors nearby. Fortunately, a lot of snow remained uncleared, with many footprints visible leading out from the back door. They continued to follow these footprints.

Zhao Yingjun’s heart was pounding, "Can we keep tracking?"

"No, beyond here is the main road, there won’t be any visible footprints."

"Then what do we do?" Zhao Yingjun lamented, "Is there still no result?"

"Not necessarily," Sun Chan suddenly remarked.

Everyone focused on Sun Chan.

Sun Chan stepped forward and picked something up from the roadside, holding it in her hand, "Look, what is this."

They hurried to see, it was a clump of cotton stuffing. Sun Chan walked a few steps further and found another piece of cotton.

"There was also cotton stuffing behind the yard just now," Sun Chan looked at Gu Junming.

Gu Junming exclaimed, "Ah! It’s Ding Quan!"

"What?" Su Minjian was shocked, looking at Gu Junming, "You think it’s Ding Quan?"

Sun Chan nodded, "That’s right. I think it’s him."

"But what on earth is happening?"

"Hmm," Gu Junming frowned, "Before you came tonight, he ran to our house, and we beat him up. I tore his cotton jacket, and as he left, cotton was flying out. Looks like he’s the one who took the child."

Su Minjian cursed, "That damn bastard! Stole from our family, I curse your ancestors! I’m going to their house to find him now!"

Without waiting for Gu Junming to speak, Hua Fei also headed towards Ding Quan’s house along with everyone else.

Ding Quan’s house wasn’t far. They lived in poor conditions, the house was falling apart. The couple woke up startled at the commotion, seeing it was the village head before greeting.

Sun Minjian cursed, "Get Ding Quan, that damned bastard out here!"

"Can’t we discuss civilly, village head?"
