Chapter 1696: Chapter 1690: Severe Crackdown

"Alright, everyone, go have some dinner. It’s been a long day, and you must all be starving." Qin Xue got out of Chu Molin’s arms and wiped her tears. She had shown a weakness, but she needed to eat to have the strength to act. Only if she remained strong would there be a chance to find her son quickly. She couldn’t afford to give in to fragility.

"Come on, everyone, eat something. Stop standing there." Nangong Beiying, having been in the special forces, knew that panic wouldn’t help, so she was the calmest among them. Seeing everyone’s state, it still pained her. Fortunately, Chu Molin had arrived—otherwise, Qin Xue might have deteriorated further.

Nangong Beiying noticed Qin Xue’s demeanor; she seemed trapped in her own thoughts. Beiying feared she might do something reckless, but now that Chu Molin was here, she felt somewhat relieved.

"Alright." Because there were so many people, those who arrived later began eating after the first group finished.

"Are you the child’s parents?" After the meal, everyone gathered in the living room, and the leading officer asked Qin Xue and Chu Molin.

"Yes, we are. Thank you for your hard work today." Chu Molin saluted the officer.

"It’s part of our duty. May I ask what you do?" The officer returned the salute to Chu Molin.

"We’re both researchers at an institute. This time, we had assignments, which is why we sent the child back to our hometown. We had just completed our tasks today and were planning to pick up the child, but then this incident occurred." Chu Molin explained their background. He couldn’t expect others to help find their child without giving them a clear understanding of who they were.

"I see. I’m Ji Dong, leading the team for this case. We will fully dedicate ourselves to tracking clues and solving the case. An incident like this in our jurisdiction shows our shortcomings, and the harm caused to you is deeply regrettable." Ji Dong hadn’t anticipated that such a tragedy would involve this kind of family. He resolved to escalate the matter promptly; the implications were too severe otherwise.

The couple protecting the nation at the frontlines, only for their family to lack protection at home and their child to be abducted—such a situation was disheartening. They had to crack down hard on criminals like this.

"Mr. Ji, this is an accident. It wasn’t what anyone wanted; none of us did. Let’s skip the formalities and focus on discussing how to find the child faster." Chu Molin didn’t mean to rebuke him.

But the incident had already occurred, and mere talk wouldn’t change things. Instead, they needed to collaboratively figure out any missed details or overlooked areas that had led to such a prolonged search without results.

This was an unacceptable situation for them, so brainstorming together was crucial. Only by piecing together all the details could they achieve the best possible outcome.

"Alright, let’s move over there. Everyone can pool their thoughts and examine what went wrong," Ji Dong agreed, suspecting something had been overlooked as well.

"Cohen, come here." Chu Molin pulled his wife and Ji Dong to sit in one corner and called out to Cohen. Naturally, Nangong Beiying joined them as well.

"Dad, Mom, I miss you so much, and I miss Yu Ze too." Cohen had spent the day staring outside, hoping Yu Ze would return soon. Earlier, when he saw Qin Xue, he hadn’t managed to go to her side. Now, hearing Chu Molin call out to him, his eyes filled with tears as he looked at Chu Molin. He utterly despised those traffickers.
