Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 824: Launch a Citywide Manhunt Immediately

Ji Wei was filled with indescribable emotions. With An An missing, she was on the verge of collapse, barely holding on throughout the day.

When she received that call, it seemed like a glimmer of hope. In that situation, she could only do as they instructed, unable to gamble with An An’s life.

Even though the kidnapper later proved to have been toying with her, she had no regrets.

Ji Wei turned her head towards the window. Her longing and worry for her son made her tense and fragile. At this moment, Gu Moqian’s indifference triggered a rush of grievance that made her want to cry.

The car suddenly stopped by the roadside.

Gu Moqian glanced at the woman who still had her head turned towards the window, and his heart softened instantly.

He was just too afraid that she might be in danger, which made him angry that she came alone. But luckily, everything turned out fine.

Gu Moqian rummaged through the storage box in the middle of the car, took Ji Wei’s hand, and placed something in her palm.

Instinctively, Ji Wei looked down and saw a colorful lollipop in her hand.

She looked at Gu Moqian with a face full of shock.

The man said nothing. He gave her a deep look, then reached out and embraced her.

Their child was missing, and both of them were sad and worried. They should be encouraging partners, not angrily blaming each other.

"I’m sorry I didn’t protect you and the child. It’s my negligence," Gu Moqian gently patted her back, whispering softly in her ear.

Ji Wei’s tears welled up instantly. She tightly gripped the lollipop in her hand, with a hint of sweetness mixed in the bitter tears.

It’s often said that eating something sweet when you’re sad can improve your mood. But more effective than a lollipop was Gu Moqian’s understanding and care.

She had wronged him.

...

With still no news of An An, the two first went to the hospital to visit Old Madam Ji.

"Are you family members of the patient?" The doctor asked, looking serious, as Ji Wei and Gu Moqian walked in.

"I am her granddaughter," Ji Wei replied.

"How could your family let the patient take an overdose of sleeping pills? If she had been brought in a few hours later, it could have been life-threatening! Do you understand?"

The doctor’s words shocked them both.

It turned out Old Madam Ji hadn’t just fainted—she had taken sleeping pills!

After the doctor left, A Xiu, who was by the bedside, came over and said, "Young Miss, this doesn’t make sense. The old madam never bought sleeping pills, and she sleeps well enough not to need them."

If Grandma didn’t take the pills herself, then it could only be —

A name suddenly popped up in Ji Wei’s mind: Ji Shanshan! 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Ji Wei looked at Gu Moqian, and they both simultaneously thought of this possibility.

With Old Madam Ji’s condition temporarily stable under A Xiu’s care, Ji Wei and Gu Moqian immediately set off for the Ji Family home.

On the drive back, Chen Ke suddenly called.

"Mr. Gu, Ji Shanshan has escaped!"

"How did you all manage to let her escape under your noses!" Gu Moqian’s face was tense, his voice low but intimidating.

"Ji Shanshan claimed she wanted to visit Old Madam Ji in the hospital. We were following her, but her car rear-ended someone else’s on the way. Ji Shanshan refused to compensate and got into a dispute with the traffic police, who took her away. We couldn’t go into the police station and waited outside, but Ji Shanshan never came out... It was then we realized she had fled."

Gu Moqian’s expression turned icy cold, and he said heavily, "Deploy people to search the whole city immediately. We must catch her!"
