OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess-Chapter 704: Have You Heard? There’s Trouble in the Capital!

This day.

Bai Zhi’er went to school.

Before she reached the entrance, she heard a shout coming from behind.

"Princess, wait for me!"

The little one turned around and saw Guan Yue running towards her.

"Oh, Guan Yue? What’s up?"

Guan Yue, panting, stopped in front of her.

But when she saw Feng Fuce beside Bai Zhi’er, she became very cautious. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Feng Fuce glanced at her coldly and said nonchalantly to the little one, "I’ll come to pick you up after school this afternoon."

With that, he mounted his horse and left with two teams of Xiuluo Guard.

Bai Zhi’er waved her little hand: "Alright~"

Seeing Feng Fuce leave, Guan Yue dared to speak freely.

"Princess, something’s happened in the city recently, have you heard? There’s a thief specializing in stealing children!"

Bai Zhi’er widened her watery eyes: "I didn’t know! Hasn’t the government done anything?"

Guan Yue shook her head and said mysteriously, "The government has increased patrols, but unfortunately, they just can’t catch that person."

"It’s said that this person has exceptional Qinggong skills, disappearing in a flash as if they can fly, gone in the blink of an eye."

"And since they only appear at night, no one has seen what they look like. Now, six children have gone missing, it’s really scary!"

Bai Zhi’er pouted, thinking: "Hmm, it’s okay. When I go back, I’ll have my father assign special people to investigate and capture the culprit!"

Guan Yue nodded repeatedly: "Miss Xue and others are too scared to come to the academy, and my mother didn’t want me to come either, but I was worried the Princess wouldn’t know, so I came specifically to remind you."

"They say the thief especially likes to steal children aged five to nine. As cute as you are, Princess, you must be careful!"

She finished, scratching her face absently: "However, I see Marquis Wan escorting the Princess, I’m sure with him around, the thief wouldn’t dare to appear."

Bai Zhi’er smiled sweetly: "Of course, Brother Ce is so amazing."

Evening.

The little one finished school, and Feng Fuce was indeed already waiting at the academy gate.

Bai Zhi’er got into the carriage, enjoying the pastries Feng Fuce brought for her.

In passing, she told Feng Fuce about the thief stealing children.

Feng Fuce remained calm: "Could it be human traffickers?"

Bai Zhi’er took a bite of the peach blossom pastry, mumbling: "We must catch that person!"

The carriage passed through the street, hearing the noisy chatter, mixed with the piercing cries of a woman.

Bai Zhi’er immediately lifted the curtain.

"Brother Ce, there are so many people gathered over there!"

Feng Fuce knew the little one always loved to fight injustice.

He ordered coldly: "Lei Hu, go check what’s happening."

"Yes."

Bai Zhi’er watched as Lei Hu approached the crowd.

When people parted to make way, she saw a pale corpse lying on the ground, seemingly a child.

The child’s mother knelt nearby, supported by relatives, crying bitterly.

Bai Zhi’er sympathetically furrowed her brow.

What happened?

After a brief inquiry, Lei Hu returned to the carriage.

"Reporting to the Princess and Marquis, this child went missing a while back, suspected to have been kidnapped. This morning, his body was found in a forest on the outskirts, seemingly fallen to death."

Bai Zhi’er’s wide, watery eyes were filled with compassion.

"Could it be he tried to run home and fell?"

But Lei Hu looked puzzled and said, "The townspeople say this child was found in an open field. Although he died from a fall, no one knows if the place he was found is where he actually died."
