Chapter 1698: Chapter 1692: Making a Fuss

Jingtao looked firmly at Qin Xue. He really hadn’t mistaken it; it was this Auntie who took the child away.

"So it’s the daughter of that old Mr. Qin’s family? That wretched woman! I’m going to settle accounts with them!" Mrs. Qin never expected that her great-grandchild was taken away by that shameless daughter of Mr. Qin. The entire family had searched all day, yet hadn’t considered this possibility.

"Grandma, hold on a moment. If you go like this and she’s home, but the child isn’t there, then what? If she denies everything outright, what can you do about it?" Qin Xue, upon learning it was Qin Su’e, calmed down instead.

Qin Su’e would do such a thing out of spite for last time, when Qin Xue turned her own plan against her, causing her to be humiliated by several men.

But back then, if Qin Xue hadn’t acted that way, she would’ve been the one to suffer instead. She wasn’t stupid; of course she would fight back. That’s why, against someone like Qin Su’e, Qin Xue was already thinking about how, when she found her later, to make her regret provoking her repeatedly. Seriously, did that woman take her for an injured kitten just because she hadn’t retaliated yet?

"Rain, go investigate that woman’s house and see if she’s home. Be cautious – don’t alarm her family. Thunder, stay there on watch. Report back immediately if anything happens," Nangong Beiying, after hearing Qin Xue’s words, immediately gave out orders.

"Yes, Miss. We’ll go handle it right away." Rain and Thunder also had a strong affection for Yu Ze. Whoever dared challenge their group would need to be prepared for retaliation. As for what exactly they were planning, that was their own decision.

"Aunt, where is Qing Zhu? She hasn’t returned yet?" Nangong Beiying suddenly remembered that Nangong Shulan had said Qing Zhu had gone after someone earlier.

They hadn’t seen her during dinner, and now still no sight of her. Where could she have gone? Why hadn’t she returned yet?

"She hasn’t come back. The child is still with me." The elderly lady was holding Yuran, who was crying from hunger. She had cooked some rice porridge to feed the child.

She had no idea how Qing Zhu was doing. A woman chasing criminals all the way out there – could she be in danger? It was a worry shared by everyone.

"Wait, are you saying someone else went after the perpetrators and hasn’t come back yet?" Ji Dong asked seriously.

"Yes, one of our sisters has gone after them, but we haven’t seen her since." Nangong Beiying glanced at Ji Dong, somewhat frustrated by how slow he seemed to process this situation.

"Reckless! A woman with no viable self-defense skills daring to chase criminals alone? That’s far too risky! What if something happens?" Ji Dong hadn’t expected yet another twist to the situation.

"At the time, none of us were back yet. When the child went missing, she immediately followed the trail to chase them. But now, everyone’s returned except for her," Qin Xue only now recalled that Qing Zhu, who had gone off chasing someone, hadn’t come back yet. Could something have happened to her? Otherwise, why wouldn’t she be back at this point?

Meanwhile, Qing Zhu was hiding in the bushes, observing the people ahead. She hadn’t expected that in chasing just one person, so many unexpected developments would arise.

Originally, she had almost caught up with the perpetrator and was about to step forward to snatch the child back, but then several other people appeared. That crazy woman handed the child over to the newcomers, exchanged a few words, and then Qin Su’e left. The child was subsequently passed into the hands of the others.

With no other choice, Qing Zhu could only hide nearby. She couldn’t return now because she was worried that if she left, these people might disappear, making it even harder for them to locate the child later. Therefore, she found a discreet place to stay hidden, keeping her eyes on those people. She had no idea where they were planning to take the child, nor could she understand why they would want to abduct someone as young as Yu Ze. These were questions Qing Zhu silently mulled over but couldn’t seem to figure out.
