Genius Daddy in the City - Chapter 482
Chapter 482: Qian Qian Goes Missing. Mengmeng Gets Spanked!
Almost at that moment, Ye Chen and Qi Qingfeng blurted out, “Shang Santian?”
“Master, what’s Shang Santian?” Yu Yang was confused.
Tang Ning, Tang Yuanshan and the others were all confused.
Qi Qingfeng did not reply. Instead, he mumbled, “Yes, he must be from there. Otherwise, he wouldn’t keep talking about the secular world. Only they would treat us like ants.”
However, he was even more curious about what the token was to be able to make someone from Shang Santian personally take action.
Thinking of this, he could not help but look at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen shook his head slightly, indicating that he was not very sure.
The only thing he was curious about was that the token in his hand had come from Xiao Buyi’s tomb. The token in Qi Qingfeng’s sect was a relic of Master Guigu’s. Did it mean that Xiao Buyi and Master Guigu had some connection with Shang Santian?
“Forget it!”
Ye Chen did not dwell on this matter anymore. Instead, he looked at Qi Qingfeng and said, “Fellow Daoist Qi, the death of your disciple was caused by me in the end. I, Ye Chen, am also someone who can distinguish between gratitude and enmity.”
“How about this? The Soul Catcher Mirror was originally a treasure of your sect. Now, I shall return it to you.” Speaking up to this point, he waved his hand, and the Soul Catcher Mirror fell into Qi Qingfeng’s hand.
This so-called magic treasure that caused the spell world to flock to it was nothing in his eyes.
“Thank you, Master Ye!”
…
The next morning, after Ye Chen finished dealing with the matters of the Tang family, he boarded the plane back to the Tiannan region. Yinshi naturally followed along. After all, he had already acknowledged him as his master.
The only thing that surprised Ye Chen was that Qi Qingfeng also chose to follow him. The reason was that he cultivated both magic and martial arts. Because Ye Chen was a strong and dominant force, Qi Qingfen was willing to act as a disciple and serve Ye Chen tea and water.
Ye Chen did not know whether to laugh or to cry, but he did not refuse. After all, although Qi Qingfeng could not compare to Yinshi, he still had his strengths.
As soon as he sat down, he received a call from his mother, Wu Lan. Ye Chen thought that his mother missed him because he had been away for a long time.
Unexpectedly, Wu Lan cried on the phone, “Xiao Chen, Qian Qian…She’s gone!”
“Gone? What do you mean?” Ye Chen could not react for a moment.
Wu Lan’s voice was extremely hoarse as she explained, “She…she’s gone missing. We searched everywhere, but…we couldn’t find the child.”
“Mother, calm down. Tell me slowly what happened!” Ye Chen’s heart sank and he took a deep breath.
After a while, he learned from his mother that after he left Tiannan, only Qian Qian and his parents were left at home. Qian Qian had obediently sat at the door and looked outside pitifully, saying that she wanted to wait for Mengmeng to come back from school.
Ye Chen’s parents could do nothing but let her sit at the door. The two elders went to clean the house, but after half an hour, they could not find Qian Qian.
At first, the two elders thought that she had gone out to play, but they did not see her after looking around. Now, they finally realized the seriousness of the matter and asked many people to search for Qian Qian.
Even Su Yuhan, who was at work, was alarmed. Even by evening, they still had not found Qian Qian. The Gu family dispatched their resources to check the surveillance cameras, but they still could not find her.
It was as if she had vanished from the face of the earth.
At this point, Wu Lan was already in tears. “Xiao Chen, do you…do you think that Qian Qian is…”
She suspected that Qian Qian had either been kidnapped, or an accident had happened to her. Only a dead person could not be found.
“Mother, you guys keep searching. I’ll be back soon,” Ye Chen comforted her and then hung up the phone. Qi Qingfeng, who was standing by the side, noticed that he looked unwell and could not help but ask, “Master Ye, what happened?”
“A child in my family has gone missing.” Ye Chen shook his head slightly and his expression did not look too good. “When we reach Tiannan, I’ll have to trouble you guys to help me look for her too!”
“Okay!”
Qi Qingfeng and Yinshi immediately nodded.
…
After such a thing happened, the saddest ones were probably his mother, Wu Lan, and Su Yuhan. As mothers, they could not bear to see their children suffering, especially for a child with such a pitiful background like Qian Qian.
The only thing that puzzled him was…
How could Qian Qian suddenly disappear?
If she was really like the so-called “Body of Ten Thousand Demons” mentioned by the Patriarch of Hell, no one would be able to kidnap and harm her unless she left on her own accord.
…
More than an hour later, at the Ye residence.
When Ye Chen brought Qi Qingfeng and Yinshi to the entrance of the house, he saw his daughter, Mengmeng, sitting cross-legged at the door while supporting her chin with her hand as she stared around in a daze.
If it were any other time…
When the little girl saw her father, she would definitely be so excited that she would pounce over like a little monkey. However, she did not do so now. She just sat there looking listless.
Ye Chen walked over and picked her up. He smiled and asked, “My dear daughter, are you waiting for me here?”
“No!” The little girl shook her head. There were still traces of tears at the corner of her eyes. She said timidly, “Daddy, I’m waiting for sister Qian Qian to come back. She must have gotten lost.”
“Are you crying?” Ye Chen noticed that her tone was not right. He could not help but ask, “Dd Mommy hit you?”
“No…No.” The little girl’s eyes suddenly turned red. In the next moment, she hugged Ye Chen’s neck and burst into tears, “Daddy, please take me away. I hate Mommy. Mommy hit me today.”
While they were talking, Su Yuhan and her parents walked out. When she saw Su Yuhan, the little girl tightened her arms around Ye Chen’s neck. Ye Chen could even feel her fear towards Su Yuhan.
Ye Chen did not ask about Qian Qian first. Instead, he looked at Su Yuhan and asked, “Did you hit Mengmeng today?”
“She didn’t go to school early in the morning. She just sat at the door and said that she wanted to wait for Qian Qian to come back. It was windy outside, so I tried to persuade her to wait inside, but she didn’t listen to me,” Su Yuhan said angrily, “This naughty girl has never been so stubborn. I was a little angry at that time, so I smacked her twice.”
“No, you’re lying!” The little girl was immediately unhappy, and she glared at Su Yuhan angrily. “You obviously smacked me five times, and you even spanked my bum!”
“Pfft!”
Qi Qingfeng and Yinshi, who were behind Ye Chen, laughed on the spot when they heard that.
Amused, Ye Chen pinched the little girl’s face and said, not knowing whether to laugh or to cry, “Alright now, don’t be angry. Daddy will apologize to you on behalf of Mommy, okay? Don’t worry, Daddy will definitely get your sister Qian Qian back.”
The little girl finally cheered up.
When he entered the house, Ye Chen was surprised to find that Old Master Gu was also there.
As if sensing his doubt, Su Yuhan explained, “After the accident, we contacted Old Master Gu. Old Master Gu hasn’t slept because he worries for Qian Qian.”
“Thanks for your concern, Old Master Gu!” Ye Chen nodded and asked, “Is there any progress?”
“No!” Old Master Gu sighed and said, “I asked the city bureau to pull up the surveillance footage of the villa within a 20-kilometer radius, including the surveillance footage of the roads and other residential areas, but they didn’t find anything.”
At this point, he seemed to have recalled something. “But something happened yesterday. I don’t know if it has anything to do with Qian Qian’s disappearance.”
Without waiting for Ye Chen to ask any further, he said, “Just yesterday, three noble families in the northwest were massacred. The other party claimed to be sent by a person named Fu Wanlong, which attracted the attention of the Heavenly Palace and the Dragon Soul. However, they were unable to capture the person. It’s said that this person is hiding in Tiannan!”
