Chapter 164: Chapter 164 Yinyin is Not Here!

As soon as the ritual was over, Qin Yan hurriedly blocked Bo Yunshen’s way.

"Yunshen, you promised me..."

Bo Yunshen felt that Qin Yan was making a mountain out of a molehill. It had been just a few minutes since he’d seen his daughter, and yet she was already in a panic!

Maybe she was just putting on an act to curry favor with the old man!

He shrugged his shoulder, the wound on his back still aching faintly.

Looking at Qin Yan with disdain, Bo Yunshen led her back the way they came to look for Qin Yinyin.

When they reached the hiding spot of Qin Yinyin, Bo Yunshen took a cigarette from his case, lit it near the place where Qin Yinyin was supposed to be hiding, and said, "Your precious daughter is inside there. Go look for her!"

Bo Yunshen had no intention of moving forward. Lighting up his cigarette, he stood there indifferently with an air of watching a play unfold.

Qin Yan went straight to the rock that Bo Yunshen had pointed out, only to find that Qin Yinyin was not behind it at all!

"Yinyin?"

Qin Yan called out tentatively. Although the place was hidden, there were only so many rocks; she went around them and was certain that there was no one there.

Panic started to amplify in Qin Yan’s heart as she emerged to lock her gaze tightly on Bo Yunshen:

"Yunshen, Yinyin isn’t here!"

Bo Yunshen was taken aback; although Qin Yan’s daughter wasn’t particularly likable, she had one quality that other children couldn’t match – she was obedient!

He had instructed Qin Yinyin to stay put when he hid her there, so how could she not be there?!

"The place is only this big; I’ve looked everywhere. She’s really not here! Yunshen, could you have remembered the wrong spot?"

Qin Yan’s face turned pale, her gaze turning doubtful as she looked at him.

Bo Yunshen couldn’t believe it, brushing past Qin Yan as he spoke, "If I’m not good at anything else, I’ve always had a good sense of direction. If I say your daughter is here, then she’s here!"

Bo Yunshen spoke with certainty. Qin Yan bit her lip and followed him to search again.

They split up to search, retracing their steps over the ground they had already covered, but they didn’t find a trace of the child, not even a single hair!

Qin Yan’s expression was becoming grave, but when she spoke to Bo Yunshen, she still tried to remain patient:

"Yunshen, please stop playing, okay? This kind of joke isn’t funny at all!"

"I’m begging you, let Yinyin out! She’s easily frightened and might be scared being alone!"

Bo Yunshen’s face darkened as he ignored Qin Yan, his gaze locked on the irregular cluster of rocks.

It was such a small area; he refused to believe that Qin Yinyin could just disappear!

Tong City people all knew that the Bo Family’s ancestral hall was built on this mountain, and that people wouldn’t easily come up here!

If Qin Yinyin wasn’t here, then there was only one explanation.

She must have wandered off on her own because she was momentarily playful!

Thinking this, Bo Yunshen cast a glance at Qin Yan, who wore a face full of worry and spoke irritably:

"What are you anxious about? If you just wait here, Qin Yinyin will naturally come back when she’s tired from playing!"

"Playing? In such a huge mountain, what is there to play? Moreover, Yinyin has been obedient since she was little; she’s not the type of child to be mischievous!"

Bo Yunshen dismissed the concern with indifference, "Play, yeah! Maybe she’s playing hide-and-seek!"

"Director Qin, perhaps it’s precisely because you don’t usually let Qin Yinyin play that she’s deliberately hiding!"

"Being your daughter must be truly unfortunate!"

Qin Yan’s face grew colder inch by inch.

Something was wrong!

Qin Yinyin had once gone missing, and ever since she could remember, Qin Yan had always taught her not to run around!

She couldn’t have gone off by herself!

"Yunshen, I know you’re dissatisfied with me, but Yinyin is only a three-year-old child! She doesn’t understand anything!"

"This mountain is deserted all year round, covered in moss and little puddles everywhere. What if she has an accident because of carelessness? Stop making a scene, just give me back my child!"

Qin Yan’s voice involuntarily rose in her anxiety, and her words came out charged with emotion.

Having fought her way up to the position of director in Bo Group’s marketing department, her face could look quite terrifying when she really got angry!

The servant sent by Bo Yuanshan to find them was startled by the confrontation.

"Young Master, Young Madam, the master has ordered us to come down the mountain..."

Qin Yan’s face grew darker: "Now that mom and dad want us to come down the mountain, you can’t keep Yinyin hidden away any longer! Do you plan to leave her alone in the mountains?!"

Bo Yunshen’s lips curled with a hint of mockery: "Director Qin, don’t you think you’re overreacting? Your daughter ran off because she’s playful. How can you blame me for that!"

"I told you, Yinyin is not that kind of playful child!"

The argument between the two escalated, their raised voices echoing through the desolate mountains, quickly attracting the attention of Bo Yuanshan.

When he arrived, Qin Yan’s eyes were red-rimmed, her lips completely colorless, appearing both devastated and sharply confronting Bo Yunshen!

"Bo Yunshen, I don’t want to fight with you anymore, just give me back Yinyin, I’ll do anything!"

Upon hearing this, Bo Yuanshan’s steps halted, his gaze bore into Bo Yunshen as he asked sternly, "What’s going on? Why is Yan searching for her child with you? Wasn’t Yinyin always with you?"

Bo Yunshen’s expression darkened: "Qin Yinyin is missing."

"How could she go missing?!" Bo Yuanshan’s gaze dimmed, he became furious. "What nonsense is this?! Call the child out immediately!"

"How would I know why she is lost?! It’s normal for children to enjoy playing, isn’t it?"

Bo Yunshen answered petulantly, with a flick of his mouth, and then asked, "What now? Dad, are you planning to make a scene with Director Qin too?"

"Beast, what kind of attitude is that, she’s your child!"

"I have said before, I do not have a child that old!"

Bo Yuanshan held back his rage, then dealt Bo Yunshen a backhanded slap across the face!

"Smack!"

He struck with great force, twisting Bo Yunshen’s face to one side, his hair disheveled, exposing only the handsome features marked by a vivid palm print.

Bo Yunshen grimaced, the right side of his face stinging.

"Yuanshan, with so many people watching, even if you’re angry, you can’t just slap your son in public!"

Mrs. Bo was anxious, but Bo Yuanshan grew even angrier: "It’s because you coddle him that he’s turned out this way!"

"Yunshen wasn’t wrong either..."

"Shut up!" Bo Yuanshan shouted sharply, his face stern: "Send everyone to look for the child!"

He was livid, his body trembling slightly as he pointed at Bo Yunshen and cursed: "You better pray that Yinyin is found quickly, otherwise, without even descending from the mountain, I will flay you alive!"

Bo Yunshen touched the corner of his mouth delicately, the slap mark on his face not detracting from his handsomeness in the slightest.

Hearing this, he narrowed his eyes and let out a cold laugh.

What a coincidence, he had just hidden Qin Yinyin away, and then she was suddenly lost!

If you say it has nothing to do with her, Qin Yan, I wouldn’t believe it!

This was a setup, a trap laid by Qin Yan and her daughter for him!

Qin Yan was seeking revenge for last night, when he stood by Qin Yinyin’s bed with a pair of scissors in his hand!

It would be best if the old man gave him another beating with a whip!
