Chapter 283 Xinting is Lost
When Hui Niang saw Yuanbao in Fang Ziheng's arms, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. However, Yuanbao was somewhat confused by his mother's anxiety.

Fang Ziheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hui Niang, but his expression quickly turned serious: "Yuanbao is alright... but Xinting is missing!"

"what!"

Turning her head, she saw Xu Qingmeng's solemn expression and Liu Mama Irena's worry. Yun Sheng was no longer as noisy as usual and stood obediently beside Liu Mama. Yun Mo's little mouth was also pursed into a straight line.

“Brother Zhou has already reported to the authorities, and Brother Gu has also gone to look for them. You stand with Yuanbao and Mengniang and the others, and I will go with them to look for them. Maybe they just got separated.”

Because of Yuanbao, everyone took good care of the child. No one expected that the kidnapper's target was not only innocent children, but also beautiful young girls and some women.

Before seeing Hui Niang, I was worried. Now that I saw her, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. But thinking of Xin Ting, I am naturally very anxious.

Hui Niang quickly took Yuanbao, and Fang Ziheng hurriedly went to look for it.

Almost everyone who went out to play during the Lantern Festival brought their families. They initially thought they had just gotten separated and didn't take it seriously. But now that they saw that many children and girls were missing, they immediately became anxious.

In this way, everyone quickly learned that there were kidnappers in the vicinity.

Xu Qingmeng actually felt quite guilty. If she hadn't been so focused on the two little ones, with Gu Yunyi holding Yun Sheng and Zhou Yuanjia holding Yun Mo, Xin Ting wouldn't have been alone.

However, now is not the time to talk about that. The most urgent task right now is to find the person first.

Since Gu Yunyi and the others aren't here, I can't panic. "Now that there's a kidnapping here, the government officials will definitely be here soon. The first thing they need to do is evacuate this place. We can't stay here. Let's find somewhere else first. Yunsheng, Yunmo, you two stay close to me and Granny Liu and hold on tight to us, okay?"

Yun Sheng and Yun Mo nodded quickly, each grabbing one of them, not daring to let their guard down.

The matter was so urgent that it was unclear whether Zhou Yuanjia was in a hurry and walked very fast, or whether there were already soldiers nearby.

Before long, a group of constables arrived.

The constables arrived and, without doing anything, began to drive people away. It was a big holiday, but they were government officials after all, so they were still a little scared, though they couldn't help but complain a bit in private.

However, an army arrived shortly afterward, their fierce and menacing aura immediately silencing all who dared to utter a sound.

Xu Qingmeng and Huiniang were found by the officials, along with others who were crying and complaining about finding their children or daughters.

The officials arranged for Xu Qingmeng and the others to stay inside the yamen. After some questioning, they estimated that there were about ten children and six or seven young girls among them.

There are also those that haven't been found yet, and of course, it's possible that they simply got separated.

The Lantern Festival is supposed to be a joyous occasion for families, and Pei Cheng was supposed to come along today too, but he couldn't because he had a mission at the camp.

However, Pei Cheng happened to have a mission in the prefectural city today. Upon hearing about the kidnappers and remembering that Xu Qingmeng and the others were also there, he quickly led his troops over.

I don't know if they didn't expect the army to come, and they panicked and were disrupted, which is why they were actually caught.

but……

Pei Cheng stared at the old woman in front of him. The chill emanating from her body made the person in front of him tremble with fear, and the old woman had already huddled up.

"Tell me the truth, where did your accomplices go? Otherwise, you won't leave here alive today." The old woman said with snot and tears streaming down her face, "Sir, I really don't have any accomplices. I just saw that the child was pretty and had a moment of evil intentions. I will never dare to do it again, really, sir, please spare my life!"

"If we let you go, who will let those children go?" Pei Cheng's deputy general said, then kicked him.

"Sir, this man is clear-headed and this is definitely not his first time. We can't let him go; we should torture him!"

Pei Cheng nodded: "Let someone take her back first, but we can't rely solely on her right now, we still need to..."

"uncle!"

A voice rang out, and the elite soldiers around Pei Cheng quickly looked over, their eyes sharp and their swords raised.

Gu Yunyi had run all the way here, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

Pei Cheng made a gesture, and the people around him put down their swords.

"What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry? Where are Mengniang, Yunsheng, and Yunmo?"

This statistic wasn't compiled by his own people, but by the government officials. However, it was still known that it included not only children but also young girls and women.

Seeing only Gu Yunyi again, he felt inexplicably panicked.

"Uncle, Mengniang, Yunsheng and Yunmo are fine, but Mengniang's niece is missing? I was just looking for her."

Xu Xinting?
Pei Cheng immediately frowned. Xin Ting wasn't particularly outstanding, but she was pretty and seemed to be learning a craft from Meng Niang.

However, Gu Yunyi came here not to report these things, but because he had made some discoveries.

"Uncle, could you arrange for a few people to come with me?"

Pei Cheng looked at the person in front of him and immediately realized that his nephew must have discovered something. He then waved to the back, called him over, and quickly followed Gu Yunyi.

Gu Yunyi whispered a few words in Pei Cheng's ear, and Pei Cheng's eyes immediately became deep and then sharp.

When Zhou Yuanjia realized that the people around him were gone, he assumed that they had been separated by the waves. Gu Yunyi was carrying Yun Sheng, Xu Qingmeng was beside him, followed by Liu Mama, then Zhou Yuanjia was holding Yun Mo's hand, and Xin Ting was walking behind.

Actually, the group was only a short distance apart, and with Fang Ziheng and Hui Niang behind them, Xin Ting shouldn't have been swept too far away.

However, after Zhou Yuanjia realized that Xinting was missing, he said something else, and it seemed that someone had fallen down. Then he rushed in their direction. He hurriedly hugged Yunmo, and in the blink of an eye, Xinting disappeared.

Gu Yunyi immediately sensed something was wrong, and given his excellent memory, he quickly recalled the people beside Zhou Yuanjia.

While everyone was shouting for their child, Gu Yunyi told Zhou Yuanjia to report to the authorities, and then kept an eye on those people.

Before long, two of them were seen shouting for the child, but they were actually walking towards the outer edge of the area.

However, the situation was urgent at the time, and he didn't have time to explain. He told everyone that he was going to find Xinting, but in reality, he was secretly following behind the two of them.

The two walked quickly, constantly keeping an eye on their surroundings. They did not leave the streets on both sides of the Yuexi River. Gu Yunyi watched as the two turned into a shop on one side.
