"Hey? Wuan, what are you doing? Where are you going so late…"
The words were barely out of her mouth before Ji Huan had vanished from sight.
Widow Xie was worried she might do something rash and was about to give chase.
Hu Liang slammed a fist into his palm. "I've figured it out, too!"
While the others were still confused, Ji Mingfang had already called out to Ji Liansong and turned to head toward Ji Huan's house.
Clearly, he had grasped the connection a step ahead of Hu Liang.
"Dabao must have run home! That's why the kidnappers were chasing him near Ji Huan's house!"
Hu Liang offered a quick explanation before leading the group after them.
Before they even arrived, they could hear Ji Huan calling for Dabao from a distance, her voice hoarse and frantic with each cry.
The crowd joined the search, and soon, calls echoed from all directions.
But even after turning the entire area upside down, they found nothing.
"Wan, look!"
