Even with that clue, there was nothing about Ranran’s location.
Compared to her disappointment, Huo Yunting and Huo Chen looked at each other and felt the information useful.
At the very least, they had a target to work on.
Now that they knew the perpetrator was Mo Shan, they could focus on looking for her trail to find the child and this was much more workable compared to searching blindly for a needle within a veritable sea of haystack.
“Thank you.”
Before he left, Huo Yunting thanked Qiu Jin.
Huo Chen too. “Qiu Jin, I’ll follow through with my promise.”
“No need.” Qiu Jin declined. “Just go with the original plan.”
There was no place left for her in this world and even if the Qiu family was willing to take her back, she had no intentions to return there as a puppet.
Xiang Jinxi was dead and all of her grudges disappeared alongside it.
Live on well…
As his last words rang by her ear side, Qiu Jin closed her eyes, as a drop of tear soaked the edge of her eye.
“Jinxi, I’ll do what you told me…”
Living on well at the very least, allowed her to think of him.
Huo Yunting and the rest left the hospital. Under his insistence, Lu Zhaoyang went home to wait for the news and comfort Huo Xu who was very shaken by the experience.
Little Huo Ran’s kidnapping not only caused pain and dismay for the adults, even her young elder brother too was badly affected, and went on and on everyday about looking for his sister.
It did not help that both Lu Zhaoyang and Huo Yunting were occupied with work and did not have the time to look after him.
“Okay.”
Lu Zhaoyang forced a smile out of her face and held his hand.
“You must bring Ranran back safely.”
“Yeah.”
Huo Yunting’s eyes were determined and no matter how much time or effort it took, he will not give up.
Huo Yunting thus started a nationwide search for the trail of Mo Shan at the same time the national police agency had also announced a warrant of arrest. Mo Shan was marked as a B-level fugitive.
If anyone could provide clues to her whereabouts, they would be greatly rewarded.
But with the pa.s.sing of each day, Mo Shan seemed to have vanished without a trace.
Huo Yunting regretted that he did not run that vicious lady dead the last time! And Lu Zhaoyang’s antic.i.p.ation grew weary and finally turned into despair.
Almost everyone thought that little Huo Ran would never return.
And time pa.s.sed on.
In a blink of an eye, Huo Yunting had already searched for a proper year, never giving up even for a second yet there were no news about his daughter.
Lu Zhaoyang had already accepted reality but she still harbored hope that her daughter would one day return to her.
Yet, every time she looked for an answer, it was only disappointment.
But both of them would never give up!
Lu Zhaoyang stood by the tall window as she pressed her hand against the gla.s.s, the chill of the surface reverberated all the way to the depths of her heart.
“Lil sis…”
Suddenly, Huo Xu let out a faint mumble as he lay on the bed as Lu Zhaoyang smiled bitterly.
Ranran, where are you?
Suddenly, a warm and gentle hug came from behind her.
A large palm covered the back of her hand while another held her slim waist gently.
And what came next was his warm breath.
“My dear, no matter how long, how difficult it is, I will find our daughter. You need to believe that she will one day return to us.”
“Yes.” Lu Zhaoyang forced out a smile. “I believe.”
But she could not help but to worry about Ranran.
Mo Shan hated both her and Huo Yunting to the bone. Even if she did not kill the child, she will probably make Ranran’s life a living h.e.l.l to spite them.
The moment she thought of her daughter living a difficult life, a pain will p.r.i.c.k on Lu Zhaoyang’s heart and she could never fully calm down.
Huo Yuntong seemed to have read her mind. While the glint in his eyes darkened, he spoke words of comfort. “Don’t you go raking your mind with worst case scenarios, as long she’s alive, we will reunite someday.”
Lu Zhaoyang nodded as her fingers formed into a fist. Her voice determined, “Until the day I die, I will find her!”
If her parents were to give up looking for her, Ranran’s hope of ever coming home would even be even more forlorn.
“Yeah.”
The two of them looked into the distance as they shared the same thoughts in their eyes.
Lu Zhaoyang sniffled.
Ranran, mummy and daddy will always search for you. If you can hear us, take care of yourself, until the day we can finally bring you home!
