Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

Helian Minxiao, a man who is usually calm and self-possessed, is now standing at the bedroom door, his eyes are sharp, his tone is calm but carries an irresistible force.

"Open it immediately."

His voice echoed in the empty corridor, causing the two bodyguards beside him to involuntarily tighten their collars and shrink their necks as they quickly and skillfully entered the password.

With a slight "click" sound, the door slowly opened, as if it was a portal to an unknown world.

Ji Yan, this gentle and tenacious mother, rushed in recklessly almost at the moment when the door was just wide enough for one person to pass through. Her heart was beating like a drum, and her eyes were full of endless worry and love for her child.

However, when she stepped into the room and her eyes fell upon the two empty cribs, the whole world seemed to stop.

She looked around in disbelief, groping around the crib with trembling hands, shouting non-stop.

"Baby, my baby, where are you? Where is my baby?"

Tears flowed out like a spring, blurring her vision. She looked at Helian Minxiao helplessly, her eyes filled with despair and pleading. Her heart-wrenching sobs echoed throughout the room.

The bodyguards looked at each other in astonishment and anxiety.

"Madam... How is this possible? The young master and young lady should have been here all the time. No one has ever come in except us!"

There was confusion and self-blame in their words. The two of them had indeed been guarding outside the door and had not left for a moment.

But in the midst of this chaos, a bodyguard suddenly noticed something strange in the room.

"Wait, where's Aunt Li? Aunt Li, the confinement nanny who usually takes care of the baby, why isn't she here? Isn't she always staying in the room watching over the baby?"

This sentence was like a heavy hammer, ringing the alarm bell in everyone's heart. Helian Minxiao's eyes instantly became sharp, and he realized that things were far more complicated than he had imagined.

Xin Mujing, seeing this, immediately stepped forward, exchanged a look with Helian, and then said to everyone: "Let's split up, you go check the surveillance, Minxiao and I will go to the bathroom to check."

The bathroom door was pushed open, and a damp smell hit them. Helian Minxiao and Xin Mujing quickly looked around and saw that the window was wide open, and a breeze was blowing through the hall with a cool breeze. On the water pipe next to it, there was a string of cloth tied to it, which was obviously used to assist climbing.

Xin Mujing's expression suddenly became serious: "It seems that someone used this place to escape."

Helian Minxiao clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white. He tried hard to suppress his inner anger and panic, and spoke in a deep voice to Xin Mujing.

"Notify the police immediately and send more people to search the area around the villa. No clues should be left unchecked. At the same time, investigate all the background information of Auntie Li, the confinement nanny. She is likely to be involved in this matter."

The atmosphere in the room was tense and depressing. Xin Mujing and Helian Minxiao quickly returned to the room. The scene before them made them feel nervous.

Ji Yan sat on the ground, with her back against the wall, staring blankly ahead, as if her soul had left her body, leaving only an empty shell breathing mechanically. Her loss of soul was a true reflection of her endless longing and worry for her child.

Xin Mujing felt heartbroken when he saw this. He took a deep breath, tried to control his emotions with reason, and slowly walked towards Ji Yan.

He squatted down and said softly but firmly: "Yanyan, I know you are very sad now, but we need your strength to find the baby together. Come, I will hold you, let's go to the monitoring room first, maybe we can find some clues."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, ready to help Ji Yan up.

However, Ji Yan seemed not to hear his words, or even if she did, she could not accept this reality.

She raised her head suddenly, and pressed her hands tightly against Xin Mujing's chest like iron clamps, her eyes full of determination and madness.

"Let me go! I can't wait here, I have to go find my baby! Every second could be a danger to their lives!" Her voice was hoarse and shrill, with a power that could not be ignored.

Xin Mujing felt Ji Yan's despair and persistence, and his heart was torn, but he understood that at this moment, he needed to be calmer and more rational.

He held Ji Yan's shoulders tightly and asked her to look into his eyes. His deep and soothing voice echoed in the room.

"Yan Yan, listen to me, I have arranged people to investigate, and A Xu has also mobilized the army. We are doing everything possible to find the baby, but your blind actions will only make things worse. Believe me, I will take you to the monitoring room, where there are the latest clues and information. Let's face it together, okay?"

Ji Yan's eyes gradually focused, and she seemed to feel a glimmer of hope from Xin Mujing's words.

She nodded slightly, but her hands were still clenched tightly and refused to let go.

Seeing this, Xin Mujing gently held her hand and said gently but firmly: "Don't worry, I won't let you go. Let's go find the baby together."

With Xin Mujing's comfort, Ji Yan finally relaxed her guard and allowed him to pick her up.

……

Ji Yan almost stumbled as she pushed open the door of the monitoring room, her voice becoming hoarse with anxiety.

"Have you found it, my children?"

Her eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness, and her thin body looked even more fragile in the evening dress.

Zheng Haoqian, the loyal knight who had always been guarding Ji Yan, noticed her arrival at the first moment. He took off his coat without hesitation, walked forward quickly, and gently put the coat on Ji Yan's shoulders, as if to give her strength and warmth in this way.

Then, he gently but forcefully took Ji Yan into his arms and let her sit next to him, hoping to bring her some comfort on this cold night.

"Yanyan, don't worry, we have some clues."

Zheng Haoqian's voice was deep and magnetic, trying to calm Ji Yan's restless heart. He turned his eyes to the surveillance screen, where a key video recording was being displayed.

The guard also stood up and pointed at the screen and said, "Mrs. Ji, look here. The monitor has captured the license plate number of the suspect vehicle, but unfortunately, the last two characters are blocked by an object, so we can only see 'A-0818'. However, this is one of the most important clues we have at the moment."

Ji Yan stared at the screen, as if to see through the blur and see the full picture of the license plate. Her hands were tightly clasped together, her nails almost digging into her palms, but she was unaware. Her heart was filled with conflicting emotions: the desire to find her child, but also the fear of the unknown outcome.

"Ah Qian, what should we do? We can't just wait like this, I have to find them!"

There was a barely perceptible tremor in Ji Yan's voice, but more of it was firmness and determination.

Zheng Haoqian patted Ji Yan's back gently, giving her encouragement and support: "Don't worry, Yanyan. I have contacted the police, and they are doing their best to track down the license plate number. At the same time, I will mobilize my connections to see if anyone can provide more clues. We must believe that the children will be safe."
