The Self-cultivation of Omega Running with the Ball

Wen Qiu suddenly woke up, quickly got up, grabbed Zhao Ma's shoulders and asked, "What's wrong with the child?!"

Zhao Ma cried out, "This morning, I saw you were sleeping soundly and the baby woke up, so I took him out for a walk and wanted to buy some vegetables... Who would have thought that he would disappear while I was going to the toilet... Young Master, I'm so sorry..."

Wen Qiu's head was buzzing, and she was crying so hard that her speech was slurred, so it was impossible to hear what she was saying.

Fortunately, at this moment, a figure in police uniform appeared at the door, "Can I come in?"

"Quick, quick, police comrade, come in quickly," Zhao Ma hurriedly pulled him in, "It all depends on you, living Bodhisattva, please save the child..."

Wen Qiu also cast an anxious look, but fortunately the policeman was very professional and told him the whole story.

It turned out that around 7 o'clock this morning, Zhao's mother took her child out for a walk in a stroller. On the way, she went to a public toilet and parked the stroller outside the partition door. As a result, within two minutes, the child disappeared.

She looked around and got anxious when she couldn't find anyone. She rushed to the police station 500 meters away to call the police, then ran back to wake up Wen Qiu.

The police highly suspected that this was a case of child trafficking and said that they were currently reviewing surveillance footage from multiple sources and would be actively investigating.

Wen Qiu seemed calmer than Zhao Ma. He just stood there quietly, listening and answering every question. The police thought he was more reliable than the old man, so they asked him to go to the police station with them. Wen Qiu nodded, took a step forward, and suddenly his eyes went dark and he fell forward.

Aunt Zhao screamed in fear, but her voice seemed to be hazy and indistinct through a layer of space in her ears. Wen Qiu held onto the door frame to avoid falling, then he slapped himself hard to wake himself up.

He said to the startled policeman, "Thank you, police comrade. I will cooperate with the work... Can I make a few calls first?"

Seeing his pale face, the policeman quickly said, "Okay, it's okay. Please notify the child's father and other relatives as soon as possible."

Wen Qiu turned on his phone, and his finger seemed to have its own inertia, sliding towards Pei Du's name. However, when he dialed, the call did not go through, and Wen Qiu realized belatedly that Pei Du was on a plane flying to the other side of the ocean. Everything happened too coincidentally, so coincidentally that it was hard not to be suspicious.

Without time to think, Wen Qiu immediately called Assistant Jiang, Li Tianchang, and his own father.

Soon, all the familiar people gathered together in the police station, and Assistant Jiang began to mobilize all the manpower that could be mobilized to conduct a carpet search for every clue.

Wen Jierui came, but he didn't have a deep foundation in Jianghe City, and he had money but nowhere to spend it, so he could only worry about it. Thinking that his precious grandson was gone, he was so anxious that he had a seizure on the spot. As a result, He Yu came and sent him to the hospital helplessly.

As a bodyguard, Li Tianchang stayed with the distracted Wen Qiu the whole time. He was also responsible for making the first phone call after Pei Du landed at 5 o'clock in the evening.

Just now, Wen Qiu had searched back and forth along the path that Zhao Ma had walked three times. In the end, he could no longer run, so he walked in a daze and accidentally fell, scraping the skin off his knees and palms. He only wore a coat over his thin pajamas and slippers on his feet, and his toes were frozen red.

Li Tianchang could only bring him back by force, wrapped his down jacket around him, and comforted him in an unskilled manner: "Take a rest for a while, everyone is looking for it, and we will find it."

Wen Qiu lowered his head and said nothing, just breathing rapidly. He was so tense that he seemed like he would faint at any moment, but he raised his head nervously every time there was movement at the door, his eyes full of bloodshot.

Soon, Zhao Ma came back from outside in a hurry, holding a pair of newly bought snow boots in her arms. Li Tianchang half squatted down to put the shoes on him, and when he touched his toes, they were cold.

He was very clear about the duties that Pei Du had given him. Before Pei Du came back, it was his mission to take good care of Wen Qiu. However, he was very good at killing and robbing, but he was completely blind to finding someone to comfort. He looked at Wen Qiu's pale face, hesitated again and again, and silently sent a text message.

Not long after, a tall ALPHA rushed into the police station and started yelling as soon as she entered: "Fuck, what's going on? Why didn't you contact me earlier?!"

An Yunqi strode up to Li Tianchang and asked, "You said his child is missing?"

Li Tianchang glared at him angrily, and An Yunqi shut up. At this time, Wen Qiu looked up at him, his eyes were red, and his pale eyes were soaked in tears, which made people feel nervous.

An Yunqi rubbed his head vigorously, "If Pei Du is not around in the future, you should come to me first when you encounter problems, okay? What's the point of you looking around here like headless flies? Anyone who dares to cause trouble for Pei Du must have been prepared long ago!"

Then he patted Li Tianchang again and said, "Well done for contacting me. Now tell me the whole story from beginning to end."

An Yunqi's participation greatly promoted the search process. This public toilet is located in the old city where good and bad people are mixed. There is no surveillance around it, and the roads are connected in all directions. It is extremely difficult to investigate through legitimate means.

Under An Yunqi's arrangement, a force that could not be exposed joined the search. He wrote and drew on the whiteboard on the wall, listing seven or eight people, all of whom had ill intentions towards Pei Du and had the conditions to carry out meticulous crimes.

"It's within this range, there's no mistake." An Yunqi finally held the pen cap in his mouth and drew big circles on several names with a marker. "Wait for me to go and trouble them one by one."

Wen Qiu scanned those names, all of which were well-known big names and big groups. He thought that this was almost a replay of the "Wei Ziying incident". The other party even took advantage of Pei Du's absence and chose the weakest child to commit the crime. It was obvious that they had done in-depth research on him.

What will happen next? Threats? Blackmail? Where is Xiao Zhiliao now? Has he been hurt? Is he scared? Will he never see him again... Countless conjectures swirled in his mind, and Wen Qiu was almost driven crazy. Unfortunately, he was powerless and could only pin his hopes on others, waiting exhaustedly.

/
At 4 a.m. US time, Pei Du got off the plane and prepared to go to the branch office to take charge of work without rest. Before leaving the terminal, he received a call from Li Tianchang. When he heard him talking about the child, Pei Du's first reaction was irritation - he was so annoyed that he had to hide abroad, but the child's matter still haunted him. However, as he gradually heard the whole story, his expression became serious, "How is Wen Qiu? Is he with you now?"

"Yes, but he's not in good condition right now." Li Tianchang said as he handed the phone aside.

"Pei Du..." Thousands of miles away, Pei Du heard the hoarse, trembling voice on the phone, "When will you come back?"

"I'll do it as soon as possible. Wait until I get back." Pei Du said as he called the assistant beside him and asked him to book the next return flight. "Have you found Assistant Jiang?"

"Yes, she said she has called in all the available people, and everyone is looking for..."

"Did you call the police? What did the police say?"

"We can't find it. We've looked everywhere. Even the surveillance cameras can't find it..." Wen Qiu choked up and said, "They said 24 hours is the golden rescue period, but now half of it has passed..."

"Okay, it doesn't matter, we will definitely find it," Pei Du said in a deep voice, "Qiuqiu, I promise you."

"Yes, but I'm scared, really scared..." Wen Qiu clenched the phone tightly, as if holding a life-saving straw, "Pei Du, don't hang up..."

"Okay, I have to go arrange some things now. I won't hang up, you can keep listening to my voice."

The phone was still connected, and Wen Qiu could hear Pei Du arranging subordinates and assigning tasks over the phone on the other side of the ocean. His voice was like a steady white noise, soothing the sharp noise in his head. When he was panicking and about to collapse, he kept repeating ALPHA's name in his heart, as if a believer was praying to God. In his heart, Pei Du was also omnipotent.

Soon, Pei Du was about to board the plane, and his voice gradually became clearer on the other end of the microphone: "Qiuqiu, how long have you not slept?"

Wen Qiu didn't have the heart to think about this, "I don't know...how long will it take you to come back?"

However, in fact, from yesterday to now, he has only had more than two hours of fragmented sleep. His body and mind have long reached the limit, and he is supported only by a kind of obsession.

"Listen to me, take two sleeping pills, have a good sleep, and don't fall down yourself. When you wake up, I will bring the child to see you."

Wen Qiu said "hmm".

"Okay, then I'll let Tianchang supervise you to take the medicine." Pei Du kissed him across the microphone, "I'm going to board the plane now, don't be afraid, wait for me to come back."

"You must find him," Wen Qiu's voice was very soft, with a cold threat, "I can't live without Xiao Zhi."

After saying this, he hung up the phone.

Pei Du's face suddenly changed, but there was only a busy tone in his ears. He took a deep breath, and countless regrets surged in his heart. He regretted not hugging Wen Qiu properly when he left, regretted taking this hellish job, and regretted not being able to be by his lover's side when he needed him the most.

Wen Qiu hung up the phone, his eyelids drooped heavily, as if the last bone in his body had been pulled out. He didn't even have time to take medicine before he passed out from exhaustion.

At 6 o'clock the next morning, Pei Du, who had hardly slept for two nights, returned to China alone. He stepped out of the airport with a chill all over his body. His men had been waiting for a long time and quickly reported all the situations - they were not optimistic. The perpetrator had a strong anti-detection awareness and did not reveal any clues.

Pei Du's face was gloomy, and he drove to the hospital. Wen Qiu was lying on the bed with an IV drip, and he was not awake when he went there.

Outside the ward, Assistant Jiang made a hush gesture to him and said, "I was unconscious for several hours before, and after I woke up, I was anxious all night. I just had an injection from the doctor and finally fell asleep."

Pei Du walked silently to the bedside and saw that his dry and cracked lips were bloodless. He didn't know what he was dreaming about, and tears were oozing from the corners of his eyes.

He gently touched Wen Qiu's forehead, which was a little hot, and the person in his sleep began to mutter vaguely. He released some pheromones, and the person in his sleep calmed down visibly. Pei Du looked at him quietly for a while, and kissed his forehead, like a silent promise.

At this time, 24 hours had passed since Xiao Zhiliao went missing. As the police said, the golden time for rescue had passed.

After he left, Assistant Jiang continued to report: "Mr. An's people have already checked all your possible enemies and found no suspects. Now we suspect that it was someone from the Pei family who did it."

It’s just like the last Wei Ziying incident, but the difference is that Cui Jinxiu won’t have the chance to take action again... Who could it be?

Pei Du exuded a chilling aura and gritted his teeth as he said, "Prepare the car. I'm going home."
