"My third brother is so brainless!"
Hu Ximei gritted her teeth. She was furious, but more than that, she was scared.
"By the time we got back, he'd already searched the entire village. Your eldest uncle's family helped look, too. Actually, it wasn't until your cousin came to my house looking for you that my third brother even found out..."
Hu Dacheng was a careless person. When he noticed Dabao was gone, he just assumed the boy had gone back to the courtyard to wait for him. He didn't pay it any mind and kept playing for a while before heading back.
But Dabao was nowhere to be found in the Hu family's courtyard!
He was pacing around anxiously when Ji Mingfang came to the door looking for Ji Huan. It was only then that he learned Dabao had been abducted by child traffickers.
Hu Dacheng was scared stiff.
Ji Huan already knew what happened next from Ji Mingfang.
She pressed her lips together, turned, and left the Hu family's home, heading toward the west side of the village.
