During breakfast, Yaoyao and Youyou’s appetites were not bad. Auntie Lin prepared breakfast for everyone, and the two little guys finished it.

Li Xiwu didn’t have much of an appetite and put down her chopsticks after a few bites. Seeing this, Auntie Lin asked, “Miss Li, is today’s breakfast not to your liking?”

Li Xiwu looked up and shook her head. “It’s not that I don’t like it. It’s just that

I have a slight accumulation of food and can’t eat much.”

“You’ll have to take digestive tablets then. Don’t eat anything else. Drink a glass of milk first. I’ll get you some digestive tablets,” Auntie Lin said and turned to get them.

Li Xiwu smiled knowingly and was about to pour herself a glass of milk. Before her hand touched the cup, she saw a cup of milk being silently pushed over to her right hand. When the glass of milk slowly pressed against the back of her hand, the small hand that had pushed over stopped and silently retracted, planning to pretend that nothing had happened.

“Yaoyao,” Li Xiwu called out. Yaoyao suddenly looked up at Li Xiwu. Li Xiwu couldn’t help but ask, “You gave me your milk. What about you?

Yaoyao answered seriously, “I know how to pour it myself.”

Youyou, who was beside her, refused to admit defeat. She pushed the remaining half of the milk in front of Li Xiwu and said in a soft voice, “Mom, I’ll give you my milk too. I can get Brother to pour me milk. Don’t worry.”

Li Xiwu was especially satisfied. At this moment, nothing could heal her better than the two cute little angels in front of her.

After breakfast, Youyou took Yaoyao around the new house.

As Yaoyao said gloomily that he would not stay here permanently, he couldn’t help but follow Youyou and silently remember what this house looked like. Youyou took the initiative to hold Yaoyao’s hand and said, “Mom and Dad said that you’re my brother. No one can take you away, and Youyou won’t allow anyone to take you away.”

Yaoyao said nothing, but he was still happy. If only he could stay with them forever.

Li Xiwu stood in the distance and watched quietly until her cell phone vibrated and a call came in. She picked up the phone. “Fourth Brother.”

Pei Jingzhou’s voice came from the phone. “Have you had breakfast?”

She could tell that even though Pei Jingzhou deliberately relaxed his tone, she could still hear the fatigue.

Li Xiwu nodded and asked him, “Have you found Pei Jiao?

Pei Jingzhou said, “Not yet.”

Li Xiwu frowned. “Any clues?

Pei Jingzhou’s voice was deep. “The dashcam was burned.”

Li Xiwu was surprised. “It was burned in advance?

“Yes,” Pei Jingzhou said. “The car didn’t fall into the river after going down the mountain. Someone tampered with the car. After destroying the dashcam, it sank into the river.”

The most important dashcam was destroyed in advance. The other party did not burn the car directly. Instead, after destroying the dashcam, they went to the trouble of sinking the car into the river.

This was clearly premeditated. Moreover, before Pei Jiao was discovered to be missing, that car had been in the water for two days. It had been three days and three nights since Pei Jiao was discovered to be missing.

After a person disappears, they have a prime time of seventy-two hours, because finding the missing person as soon as possible during this time will give them the best chance of survival.

In other words, the seventy-two hours of prime time had passed. And now, Pei Jiao’s fate is unknown.

Li Xiwu suddenly felt her breathing tighten. “Then now…”

Pei Jingzhou said. “Don’t think too much. Wait for me to come back.”

Li Xiwu replied, “Okay.”

Coincidentally, there was a busy line. After Li Xiwu ended her call with Pei Jingzhou, she picked up the call.

Guan Suling’s gentle voice came from the phone. “Darling.”

‘Grandma,” Li Xiwu called softly.

Guan Suling only felt relieved when she heard Li Xiwu’s voice. “I really miss you so much that I can’t eat or sleep. Darling, are you done with your matters? If you’re done, I’ll pick you up today, okay?”

Li Xiwu naturally remembered that her grandmother had said that she wanted to take her to stay in the MO Residence. She did not refuse. She just wanted to settle her work and the matters around her for the time being before going over to stay for a while.

Although her grandmother had not called her to rush her recently, Li Xiwu was not too busy. She had originally planned to bring Yaoyao and Youyou to the MO Residence to see her grandmother in the next two days with Pei Jingzhou.

But after Pei Jiao’s disappearance…

“Darling? Are you… not free now? It’s okay, it’s okay. If you’re busy and can’t come back for the time being, I can wait.” Guan Suling was also afraid that this call would make things difficult for Li Xiwu. However, she really missed Li Xiwu so much that she couldn’t help but make this call.

Li Xiwu did not want her grandmother to be disappointed. It was good to send

Yaoyao and Youyou to the MO Residence for two days. This way, she could help Pei Jingzhou, so she agreed. “Then I’ll come over at two in the afternoon.” The surprise came too suddenly.

Guan Suling almost thought she had heard wrong. “Darling, you mean today, today…”

Li Xiwu said, “Yes, Grandma. You don’t have to send a car to pick me up when I come back today. I’ll get over myself.”

Guan Suling was overjoyed and quickly said, “Okay, okay, it’s up to you. Grandma will wait for you.”

“Yeah.”

She could tell that her grandmother was really happy to know that she was going back today. After waiting for so long, Li Xiwu did not dare to disappoint her grandmother again. Hence, after ending the call with her grandmother, Li

Xiwu prepared to send Pei Jingznou a message to tell him tnat sne would bring Yaoyao and Youyou back to the MO Residence today.

After editing it, Li Xiwu hesitated.

Pei Jingzhou was busy looking for Pei Jiao and could not leave. If she told him now, with Pei Jingzhou’s personality, he would most likely take the time to bring Youyou and Yaoyao back to the MO Residence with her.

It was more important to find Pei Jiao now. She could not distract Pei Jingzhou anymore. Li Xiwu deleted all the edited words, put away her cell phone, and went to look for Yaoyao and Youyou.

At the engineering base.

Pei Jiao was the only one in the minimalist living room. Her injuries were still recovering, and it was not inconvenient for her to move around. However, because of her unknown identity, she could not go out for the time being.

Otherwise, she would be arrested the moment she went out.

Wen Qiong brought the green ball she had personally made to see Pei Jiao. In order to take care of her privacy, Wen Qiong only stood outside and knocked on the door. She did not go in directly.

Pei Jiao came over to open the door. When she saw that the person standing outside was Wen Qiong, she smiled reluctantly and gestured.

Wen Qiong came in. “How’s your throat today?”

Pei Jiao shook her head.

Wen Qiong sighed. “Look, I told you the day before yesterday not to try to pronounce it. Now that your vocal cords are damaged, you won’t be able to speak for a long time.”

Pei Jiao frowned and looked very sad.

Wen Qiong opened the box and handed Pei Jiao a green ball. “Try it. I made it myself. It’s even been praised for being delicious..”
