Chapter 1065: Chapter 1034: Splitting, Little Rotating Turtle

Then Huo Yingjie remembered that Cui Ying was with He Tiantian, and since he had a wisp of his divine consciousness within Cui Ying, he could see everything that had happened before through her eyes.

All the information rushed into Huo Yingjie’s mind in an instant.

He Tiantian disappeared?

In the eyes of others, she vanished without a trace.

But in Huo Yingjie’s eyes, he understood that his wife was drawn by a strange magnetic field into another barrier.

In that barrier, someone was summoning He Tiantian.

This conjecture greatly alarmed Huo Yingjie!

"Chief Engineer Huo, what’s wrong?" The assistant beside him noticed Huo Yingjie spacing out during the experiment and quietly reminded him.

Now was not the time to be distracted.

Huo Yingjie was startled and only then did he realize that he was in the laboratory, not at home, nor was he alone.

Tiantian must be very scared now that she’s gone to another barrier; he had to go find her.

"My thoughts are a bit disordered. You all continue with the experiment and pay attention to safety," Huo Yingjie said, putting down the beaker in his hand and walking over to Zhou Yuanchao, "Yuanchao, come here for a moment, I need to speak with you."

Before leaving, Huo Yingjie needed to make some preparations.

Zhou Yuanchao felt it was odd, but it wasn’t appropriate to ask in front of everyone, especially since Huo Yingjie had said earlier that they would go to the office together.

"Alright, I’ll be right there," Zhou Yuanchao said, putting down what he was holding and following Huo Yingjie to the office.

Once in the office, Huo Yingjie’s complexion didn’t look good.

"Boss, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Zhou Yuanchao asked, showing concern. It was a crucial time for the project; the boss couldn’t afford to fall ill.

Zhou Yuanchao was just an ordinary person, so Huo Yingjie didn’t plan to tell him about the situation to avoid worrying him.

"Nothing’s wrong, just been feeling unwell these past few days," Huo Yingjie said, "for the major experiments in the next few days, you should personally handle them. I’ll just observe from the sidelines."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuanchao winked and asked with a grin, "Boss, are you missing your sister-in-law?"

"Haha, indeed I am," Huo Yingjie replied in good humor, "Alright, you lead the team well in our work."

"Yes, Boss," Zhou Yuanchao nodded, "Boss, if you’re not feeling well, you should hurry home and get some rest. You need to be healthy to work well. Now that we’ve got the seniors above and kids below, we can’t afford any mishaps."

"Right, what you’re saying makes sense, I know," Huo Yingjie responded, knowing that if he couldn’t save Tiantian, their warm and happy home would no longer exist.

Zhou Yuanchao was now in charge of all the work at the Material Research Institute.

Huo Yingjie rushed home urgently. Grandma Wang was curious, but upon hearing that Huo Yingjie was unwell, she called for the family doctor.

Huo Yingjie gave some random excuses and bluffed his way through.

At this moment, Huo Yingjie couldn’t care less about violating the Heavenly Dao of humanity; when alone in the room, he unleashed his former aura and powerful strength.

Huashan and Cui Ying were husband and wife.

When Cui Ying encountered trouble, Huashan sensed it too and hurriedly came looking for Huo Yingjie.

Huo Yingjie had already used his spellcraft to create a doppelgänger of himself, leaving it at home as he went back and forth between home and his workplace.

Little Rotating Turtle also felt uneasy.

"Master, has the madam had an accident?" Little Rotating Turtle asked, its tone somewhat urgent.

Huo Yingjie didn’t hide anything from Little Rotating Turtle and nodded, "Yes, there has been an accident, but she should be out of mortal danger for now. I’ll go to her immediately. I leave the children and relatives at home to you. I’ve left a doppelgänger here, which is a transformation of a drop of my essence blood; it can handle ordinary affairs, but it isn’t strong in combat, so I must rely on you to protect the children and family members."

"Can’t I follow you to save the madam?" Little Rotating Turtle felt a bit down. It too wanted to go and personally bring the madam back.

"Thank you," Huo Yingjie stretched out his hand and patted Little Rotating Turtle’s head, "It’s fine for me to go to the madam’s side. Here, we have our three children, who are more important than our own lives. I wouldn’t feel at ease leaving them with others, but I trust you with them."

Hearing this, Little Rotating Turtle felt somewhat proud. It was truly the turtle most trusted by its master and the madam.

"Understood, master, I will protect the three young masters," Little Rotating Turtle said, as if it had received an important command.

"Good, I will reward you well when I come back," Huo Yingjie nodded, truly feeling more at ease leaving the children with Little Rotating Turtle than with anyone else.

He hoped everything would remain safe and peaceful at home while he was away.

"Yingjie, I sense that Cui Ying has run into trouble," Huashan said. They were husband and wife, performing a dual cultivation of a certain practice; if one met with trouble, the other would surely sense it.

Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "Indeed, there has been an accident, a plane crash. Cui Ying is unharmed, but Tiantian has disappeared."

"Disappeared?" Huashan was shocked, "How can she just vanish without a reason?"

"She might have strayed into someone’s barrier," Huo Yingjie briefly answered. "I’ve already made preparations at home, and we can leave now."

A barrier?

Good heavens, that was something recorded in ancient texts, long lost to time.

But now was not the time to study barriers; the priority was to find He Tiantian and Cui Ying’s party.

Meanwhile, the international community was in an uproar over the plane crash, and the domestic authorities had also been alerted. After confirming the personal information of those on board, they were dumbfounded.

That He Tiantian had just won seven gold medals at the Asian Games, was a patriotic overseas Chinese granddaughter, and most importantly, was the daughter-in-law of a national hero. Her husband was famous, the youngest materials science expert in Huaxia Country, and the youngest academician.

The staff didn’t dare delay and immediately reported the information to their superiors after verifying it.

The leaders, upon receiving the report, did not dare to delay either.

And so, it was reported up the chain.

The high-level officials decided to find He Tiantian at all costs.

Those familiar with Huo Yingjie knew the importance of He Tiantian to him. They did not notify Huo Yingjie straight away but instead contacted commercial ships from Country H and even neighboring nations, urging them to rescue her at all costs.

Afterwards, several battleships set sail from Weihaiwei, conducting military exercises in Bohai Bay and the East Sea, using the opportunity to search for He Tiantian.

However, they couldn’t keep this a secret for too long, and once they got news that foreign merchant ships had found Cui Ying and Wei Yuanyuan, they immediately informed Huo Yingjie.

But by this time, the Huo Yingjie they were dealing with was only a doppelgänger.

Even though it was a doppelgänger, Huo Yingjie felt extremely distressed and insisted on personally searching for He Tiantian, but the authorities did not approve.

They would spare no expense to rescue He Tiantian, and at the same time, the country did not want Huo Yingjie to run into any mishaps.

Huo Yingjie had no interest in work and could only stay at home with the children, waiting in silence.
