Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 248: The Vastness of Heaven and Earth, Where to Search?

Chapter 248: Chapter 248: The Vastness of Heaven and Earth, Where to Search?

Jiang Xingye quickly caught him, preventing a close contact with the ground.

"This child, this child..."

Third Master Qin hadn’t returned for many years, and naturally hadn’t seen his elder brother’s child. But just one look at this child’s brows and eyes, and it seemed he was cast from the same mold as his brother.

After Qin Zhengze exiled himself here, he lost contact with his family, and the family scarcely bothered him. But two days ago, his elder brother called, crying and begging him for help, saying that his child was missing.

Over the past two days, he had stopped all business, sending everyone out to search for the child.

Every child, any person with suspicious behavior with a child, was not overlooked. While the Qin Family’s child wasn’t found, they did bust quite a few human traffickers’ nests.

The police in Anguang have been quite busy these days.

Xu Qinghuan recounted the incident on the train, "When we arrived in Anguang, we even had the train police and local authorities confirm, they hadn’t heard of anyone losing a child."

Logically, if the Qin Family’s child was missing, it would warrant attention in Yan City.

The Jiang Family merely lost a bag of letters and photos, and caused such a stir, even setting up checkpoints at the station.

Qin Zhengze was thoughtful, but he said nothing. Whatever happened in Yan City had nothing to do with these two children.

Seeing that Qin Zhengze understood, Xu Qinghuan stopped talking, "Third Master, shouldn’t we quickly call over to Yan City for this child?"

"Yes, yes, we should call, I’ll make the call now." Third Master Qin reluctantly looked at the child, cautiously reaching out his hand, "Fanfan, I am Third Uncle, have you heard of me?"

Qin Baifan nodded, but soon he turned and rushed into Xu Qinghuan’s embrace, sneaking a sidelong glance at Third Master Qin.

Third Master Qin smiled warmly, rubbed Qin Baifan’s soft hair, and leaned on his cane as he went inside.

Song Shimian also let out a sigh of relief, "You rest here for a while, I’ll go make something for you to eat."

The three hadn’t eaten, and Xu Qinghuan worried about Qin Baifan being hungry, so she took out two White Rabbit candies for him. Jiang Xingye looked over, and Xu Qinghuan offered him two as well.

He didn’t eat, so Xu Qinghuan peeled one, holding the candy with the wrapper, said "Ah", to which Jiang Xingye was puzzled, "Ah?"

Taking advantage of him opening his mouth, Xu Qinghuan swiftly placed the candy in his mouth.

Qin Baifan giggled and ran over to ask, "Brother, is it sweet?"

Jiang Xingye paused for quite a while, until the candy melted in his mouth, then nodded, "Sweet."

He looked at Xu Qinghuan, who was smiling at him, her eyes curved like crescents, with sparkling stars inside, reflecting his image. He didn’t tell Xu Qinghuan, he had many years without eating candy.

And had forgotten the feeling of sweetness.

At this moment, the sweetness spread in his mouth, feeling unfamiliar and odd.

But, truly sweet.

Third Master Qin made the call and soon returned. There were many things that couldn’t be said over the phone, but a few exchanged words with his brother clearly explained the situation.

Qin Zhengyuan asked if he was willing to go back, that so many years had gone by, what was past is past, and what should be let go shouldn’t be held on to.

Qin Zhengze said he needed to think about it.

This revealed a slight willingness, with these two concerns eased, Qin Zhengyuan felt both relieved and exhausted.

Before, someone suggested adding him to the substitute list, but he had just learned his son went missing, overwhelmed and uninterested in political ambitions, even wondering if, like his younger brother, avoiding everything in Yan City might mean his son wouldn’t go missing.

Now that his son was found, discovering someone deliberately intervened was apparent.

Hence, he remained calm, letting the family continue searching for his son while colluding with his brother to hide the son’s recovery, intending to negotiate with the adversary.

Daring to harm his son, they should be prepared to lose something themselves.

Since Qin Zhengyuan declined joining the substitute list, he just waited for the adversary to take the bait.

Sure enough, Lu Ranglian came, and seeing him appear presumptuously at the door, Qin Zhengyuan felt heartache but forced a smile, "Lu Lv, why are you here?"

"Still haven’t found him?" Lu Ranglian patted Qin Zhengyuan’s shoulder to comfort him.

Qin Zhengyuan shook his head mournfully, rubbed his face with both hands, swallowing hard as if gulping down tears, "No, the world is vast, where do we search? No idea if he’s eating well, if he’s cold, if he thinks of his mom and dad..."

With that, this steadfast man actually cried.

Such despair, suffocating.

At this moment, Lu Ranglian surprisingly felt some compassion, primarily because his people messed up, and the human traffickers who took the child suddenly lost contact.

Now, even helping to search wouldn’t succeed.

"We’ll keep looking, I’ll help too, don’t be too upset, you and your wife are still young, can have more..."

Qin Zhengyuan used all his strength to control himself from hitting Lu Ranglian, thinking, is this even human?

"Lu Lv, did you come to see me for something?" Qin Zhengyuan’s expression and tone weren’t pleasant.

But Lu Ranglian wasn’t fazed, losing a child isn’t easy for anyone, "I heard someone recommended you for the substitute list, why haven’t you accepted?"

"No mood." Qin Zhengyuan forced a smile, "I just want to find the child, without him, I’m afraid my wife won’t survive."

This played right into Lu Ranglian’s plan, he rejoiced internally and said, "Children are indeed important, but you must take care of yourself, can’t remain so downcast, missed opportunities don’t come again."

Qin Zhengyuan hung his head, "Lu Lv, you’ve never tasted this feeling."

One day, I will make you taste this feeling.

"Indeed not, but life always throws a few hurdles, crossing them is all. When Mingqiu was born, I too watched as your sister-in-law passed away."

Qin Zhengyuan felt only ironic humor, who didn’t know, back then, He Jinxin prematurely delivered at eight months, Lu Family saved the child over the mother, He Jinxin was just twenty-three, didn’t even get to see her child, and died.

Now, whispers in Yan City suggest He Jinxin’s premature birth was due to witnessing Lu Ranglian cheat with his current wife, causing fetal distress.

He would find out if the child’s disappearance was connected to the Lu Family.

Lu Ranglian came mainly to check Qin Zhengyuan’s state, and satisfied with what he saw, left soon after.

Qin Zhengyuan took his hat, drove out himself, speeding north, and three hours later arrived at the local detention center, where on the train, a scarred man with explosives was brought to him.

"Speak voluntarily, or shall I make you open your mouth?" Qin Zhengyuan wielded pliers, forcing the man’s mouth, questioning.
