Chapter 1955: Chapter 1953: The Child Has Been Found
Even now, even if Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize were home, these people would likely suffer until dawn.
Because of the rush, those police couldn’t possibly have brought full sets of clothes for the child from inside out in the middle of the night, so at this moment, Dongdong was still wearing that dirty, thin robe-like garment.
But the outside was wrapped in Gu Qiaoqiao’s coat, and Gu Qiaoqiao was wearing Qin Yize’s.
Qin Yize would naturally not let his wife freeze.
The two drove the car into the garage, and inside the house, Old Master Qin, who had been pretending to sleep with closed eyes, suddenly opened them as he seemed to hear the sound of the car.
He was originally lying on the sofa, but at this point slowly sat up straight while Qin Yishan and Liu Qiqi both tightly gripped their phones, waiting for news.
Second Uncle Qin and Second Aunt Qin looked haggard, feebly leaning against the sofa, appearing lifeless as if not finding the child meant they would follow him.
They should have called, but there was no signal in the basement; to make a call, they had to be above ground. The phones were discovered dead only when they got into the car.
Gu Qiaoqiao analyzed that it might be due to their struggle in the basement, but the cause couldn’t be confirmed, though Qin Yize found the matter important.
He wanted to ensure that even during struggles, the phone wasn’t affected because if something happened that needed outside assistance and there was no contact, wouldn’t it be disastrous?
Although such situations would never occur for ordinary people, he and Qiaoqiao were not ordinary people. Despite wanting to lead Qiaoqiao down another path, things didn’t go as he wished.
Therefore, he resolved to face things calmly.
He planned to create a batch of phones specifically for Mystic Sect individuals.
However, this was just a minor episode. Qin Yize opened the door, and Gu Qiaoqiao stood at the entrance of the living room, holding Dongdong.
Old Grand Master Qin immediately saw Dongdong in Gu Qiaoqiao’s arms, and a heart hanging in his throat finally eased, tears welling at the corners of his eyes.
Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Qin Yishan, and Liu Qiqi also saw them instantly but stood dumbfounded, thinking they were dreaming, blinking forcefully.
After blinking several times, they realized Gu Qiaoqiao was indeed walking toward them with Dongdong, and the four were overwhelmed with delight, standing up in sync. Though they’d fantasized countless times about such a scene, its sudden appearance made them tense and uneasy.
So the four stayed frozen, failing to react. Old Grand Master Qin muttered, "How disappointing."
Seeing Liu Qiqi already in tears, Gu Qiaoqiao naturally felt empathy. If it were her, she might be the same. She walked over swiftly, unwrapped Dongdong from her coat, and said gently, "Dongdong dear, go to mom..."
Only then did Dongdong lift his head from his aunt’s neck, turning to see his parents and grandparents. The little one’s lips quivered sadly, tears spinning in his eyes.
Liu Qiqi finally reacted, tightly hugging her son, crying out loud.
And Dongdong was surrounded by his grandparents and father.
The other three also cried tears of joy.
It was tears of joy; Gu Qiaoqiao felt relieved. She turned to Qin Yize, instructing, "Don’t forget to call Grandma, they’re probably awake waiting for news. I’ll go upstairs to find clothes for Dongdong."
Qin Yize nodded.
Gu Qiaoqiao quickly turned and headed upstairs, while Qin Yize sat down next to Old Grand Master Qin after making the call. The four were still hugging Dongdong, crying and laughing. Back in a familiar environment, seeing his family, Dongdong’s emotions eventually normalized, allowing Qin Yize to relax and begin discussing today’s events with Old Grand Master Qin.
Upon hearing the children were safe from harm, Old Grand Master Qin exhaled with a fierce look in his eyes, "Choo Lan is truly a disgrace to the Choo Family. This time, we cannot let her get away; a severe sentence is necessary. Otherwise, who knows what might occur in the future—this person is corrupt at the core."
Qin Yize agreed with Great Grandfather but knew her exact sentence depended on her legal violations.
Even if it wasn’t a death penalty, she would spend her life in prison.
Thinking of Lin Qinghuan, Qin Yize’s eyes glimmered; let her spend her life behind bars. People like her have sinister ways, with extreme obsessions; what if she created another Spiritual Body, wouldn’t that be disgusting?
At that moment, Gu Qiaoqiao came downstairs swiftly carrying a heap of new clothes. After all, for Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei, numerous relatives and friends visited, never empty-handed, so they received clothes for all seasons. These two children had more than their parents.
They even had a dedicated wardrobe for their clothes.
In truth, Gu Qiaoqiao wished to dress Dongdong in Xiao Bao’s hand-me-downs, which actually carried a faint spiritual energy.
Others didn’t know, but she and Qin Yize understood.
Yet Liu Qiqi was different from her, born rich and always arrogant.
When she first joined the Qin Family, Liu Qiqi even perceived talking to her as insulting, so during the half-year Gu Qiaoqiao lived with the Qin Family, even when Liu Qiqi visited Grandma Qin, she spared not even a glance for her.
The two naturally had no interactions; Gu Qiaoqiao disregarded her.
Only later, as Gu Qiaoqiao gradually grew stronger and became the Gu Family’s successor, did Liu Qiqi slightly change, yet her personality remained proud, overbearing. Thus, Gu Qiaoqiao’s relationship with her stayed superficial; maintaining outward harmony was quite satisfactory.
Therefore, the idea to find Xiao Bao’s clothes for Dongdong vanished quickly, dismissed from Gu Qiaoqiao’s mind. Xiao Bao was actually slightly taller than Dongdong now, and wearing Xiao Bao’s clothes would be best for Dongdong, aiding his sleep and emotional recovery.
Thinking of this, Gu Qiaoqiao decided to bring a Protective Buddha Amulet for Dongdong, then strung the wooden beads, hoping they learned from this and properly hang it around the child’s neck.
Since the Protective Buddha Amulet and wooden beads formation had resistance against the Dark Devil, even if it approached Dongdong, it couldn’t simply whisk him away.
At that time, Second Uncle should also have noticed, sparing Dongdong this calamity today, but unfortunately, perhaps it was destined.
