He widened his eyes in an instant and reached out to grab him, saying, “Kid, you…”
“Goodbye, Sir!” Gu Xiaonan waved his little hand at him and turned to run.
The man tried to chase after him, but like his companion, he stumbled and fell to the ground, losing consciousness.
“Xiao Bai, what did you discover just now?” Gu Xiaonan carried Xiao Bai in his arms as they walked along the third-floor corridor.
The corridor on the third floor was even more luxurious than the second floor.
The walls and floors were carved from black cloud stone, adorned with intricate formations. These formations provided soundproofing, waterproofing, fire resistance, and even absorbed spiritual energy, reducing the impact of spiritual energy on the building.
Xiao Bai hopped down to the ground, leading the way for Gu Xiaonan.
Soon, they stopped in front of a closed door.
Gu Xiaonan looked at the tightly shut door and asked curiously, “Who is inside?”
“Squeak, squeak!” Xiao Bai made gestures with its four limbs while making sounds.
“Alt, you mean Mom is inside?”
Years of understanding between them allowed Gu Xiaonan to decipher Xiao Bai’s meaning.
He became excited.
Ah, he was finally going to see his mother!
How much he longed for his mother!
Gu Xiaonan reached out his small hand and knocked on the door.
Xiao Bai also scratched the door with its tiny claws.
Unbeknownst to them, the door had exceptional soundproofing, rendering the knocking unheard by those inside. In order to alert the occupants, they needed to press the adjacent b.u.t.ton.
After knocking for a while without anyone opening the door, Gu Xiaonan felt puzzled, “Isn’t Mom inside? Why isn’t she opening the door?”
Xiaobai was also confused.
At that moment, the door opened from the inside.
Gu Xiaonan’s face lit up with joy. “Mom…”
A young boy stood inside the door, looking down at him. “Hey little boy, who are you looking for?”
“Who are you?” Gu Xiaonan asked cautiously, his gaze fixed on the man.
How could there be another man in Mom’s room?
Even if this man couldn’t be considered a real man, he was just a young man, but he was still a male! Gu Xiaonan had never seen him before! How could he be with Mom?
The young man smiled and replied, “I’m Lu Banian. What about you?”
“I’m…” Gu Xiaonan was about to answer when a voice interrupted.
“Young master, why did you come here?” Jing Feng rushed over and lifted him up.
The twists and turns within the Lushi Auction House’s interior made it difficult for him to chase after someone. If something were to happen to the young master here, he would be held responsible.
“Mr. Jing Feng, let go of me!” Gu Xiaonan squirmed, trying to break free from his grasp.
“If I were to let go, you’ll run away. The master is still waiting for us. Let’s hurry back,” Jing Feng said as he held him tightly and turned to leave.
“I’m not going! I want to find my mom!” Gu Xiaonan angrily protested. He aimed a silver needle hidden between his fingers at Jing Feng’s neck.
Jing Feng quickly caught his hand. “Young master, your mom is not here.”
Jing Feng was well aware of Gu Xiaonan’s tactics of surprise attacks.
“My mom is inside!” Gu Xiaonan, unable to convince him, turned his head and shouted at Lu Banian, “Mr. Lu, quickly call my mom to come out! Her most adorable and intelligent son is about to be abducted by human traffickers!” Lu Banian stood dumbfounded in his place, unmoving.
Clearly, the two of them recognized each other. How could Jing Feng be mistaken for a child trafficker?
Seeing Lu Banian standing there cluelessly without calling for help, Gu Xiaonan felt frustrated.
What a big idiot!
Why was he just standing there like a pillar?
Suddenly, Gu Xiaonan caught a glimpse of a white figure slipping in from Lu Banian’s feet, giving him a glimmer of hope.
Thank goodness for Xiao Bai!
Xiao Bai would surely find Mom to rescue him!
