The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

The one speaking wasn't Ji Cheng, but a stranger from the street.

Since they didn't know each other, Li Tian didn't respond.

But the man knew You Xin, and the three adults chatted warmly together.

They went back and forth, getting more and more excited as they talked.

Perhaps because Li Tian was right beside him, Ji Cheng didn't bother to look after her.

Li Tian naturally wouldn't wander around; she simply stood there and began observing the people around her.

After a while, the person collecting tickets came over again.

This time, instead of asking the adults, he said directly to Li Tian, ​​"Little friend, the children over there are playing shuttlecock. You can go and play with them."

Li Tian looked at the man as if he were a fool.

He shrank back a little.

Is collecting tickets a pretense, or is the real purpose child abduction?

This person probably realized earlier that Li Tian wasn't a local and had already set his sights on her.

Li Tian snorted coldly, reached out and grabbed Ji Cheng's sleeve. She didn't say anything, but her meaning was clear.

There were adults with her.

The man saw everything clearly and quickly walked to the side.

More and more people were waiting in line.

Just as Li Tian thought the person had left and relaxed her vigilance, unexpectedly, a handkerchief covered her mouth and nose from the side.

Li Tian only had time to throw away what she was holding before she lost consciousness.

The man covered Li Tian with his clothes, then quickly disappeared into the crowded throng with her in his arms.

"Tian Tian, ​​we're going in..."

"Tian Tian?"

"Tian Tian!"

Ji Cheng panicked when he heard no response.

Seeing no one around, I assumed Li Tian had gone out to play.

He made a megaphone shape with his hands and shouted loudly.

"Tian Tian..."

"Li Tian..."

"What's wrong?"

"You Xin, Tian Tian is missing..."

"It's gone?"

"What happened?"

You Xin's friends also came over.

"Tian Tian is missing! Let's split up and look for her!"

Ji Cheng had lost patience to explain, and dared not even think about the consequences of losing Li Tian.

You Xin exchanged a few words with her friend and then started calling out Li Tian's name as she searched for her.

As people began to enter, crowds started surging towards the theater entrance.

Ji Cheng and his wife went in the opposite direction.

But the crowd was so large that their voices were completely drowned out.

Once everyone had gone inside and the space was empty, You Xin saw the things Li Tian had left behind.

It has been trampled on countless times and is already dilapidated.

"Ji Cheng, this is a little toy in Tian Tian's hand."

"Oh no! We've probably run into a kidnapper."

After Ji Cheng shouted this, he felt dizzy and disoriented.

You Xin was also afraid, but now was not the time to be afraid.

"Ji Cheng, Tian Tian is still waiting for us to rescue her, cheer up!"

Ji Cheng was, after all, a soldier; though young, he was not incapable of handling things.

"Honey, you wait here. I'll go call someone."

As soon as Ji Cheng finished speaking, he had already dashed out.

The first call Ji Cheng made was to Ji Ping without hesitation.

"Big brother... Tian Tian is lost..."

Ji Ping's hand holding the microphone trembled violently a few times.

"Explain yourself clearly, how did you get lost? Where are you now?"

"At the theater, Tian Tian disappeared in the blink of an eye. She must have run into a professional flower photographer."

Ji Ping calmed himself down.

If you encounter someone taking pictures of flowers, it's somewhat better, but if it's...

He dared not think any further.

"Just wait there. Soon, police officers will come to meet you. First, dig up the theater from the ground."

"Okay, bro, where's Dad?"

There's no need to disturb Father yet.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Ji Ping hung up the phone and rubbed his face vigorously. He needed to plan carefully to bring Li Tian back safely.

Once he calmed down, he immediately picked up the microphone again.

"Uncle Lin, my niece is missing at the theater..."

"Lost?"

"She didn't get lost; her toys were left on the ground, and we suspect they were taken by someone."

"Who took them away? Was there a target?"

"No, I haven't informed my dad yet. Do you think we need to deploy the garrison?"

Silence fell over the microphone.

"I'll first send officers from the branch office to the theater to investigate suspicious individuals there, and then send a team of key investigators to assist. I'll also mobilize officers from the local police station to search guesthouses and other suspicious individuals within their jurisdiction."

"Xiao Si Ji Cheng is still there and can assist in the investigation."

"If it's a human trafficker, they might already be preparing to flee. Prepare several photos of the child so that the officers on duty can identify them."

"Alright, I will send a member of the Ji family to each station and dock."

"I'll go coordinate and make arrangements first. This matter has caused quite a stir, and I must report it. It would be better if you reported it to Commander Ji instead."

"Understood, Uncle Lin, thank you for your hard work."

"Let's put that aside for now; finding the child is the goal."

"Yes, please. She is my sister's only child, and also the only granddaughter of General Li in the capital."

Lin Zheng wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.

Good heavens, I wonder which fool decided to create such a mess.

After hanging up, Ji Ping immediately dialed Ji Ying's number.

He was instructed to lead all members of the Ji family in Shanghai to various train stations and docks.

After arranging this matter, Ji Ping dialed Ji Mingze's number.

The fear of his father getting anxious and angry is a separate issue; once the child is found, everything will be fine.

Ji Mingze was furious after hearing this, but he held back and didn't lash out.

"I'll set up the defenses; you stay and coordinate the various departments."

"Yes."

Ji Ping subconsciously took it as a military order.

"Tell your mother calmly, don't upset her."

"Okay, I'll have Chu Wei go and watch over Mom."

Ji Mingze hummed in agreement and hung up the phone.

After thinking for a while, I picked up the phone.

"I order the closure of all roads, stations, and docks leading into and out of Shanghai, with a focus on screening people leaving Shanghai with children as young as five or six."

"Detain all suspicious persons temporarily."

"yes!"

After giving the order, Ji Mingze dialed the phone number of the municipal party secretary.

He can issue military orders, but he must inform all departments and communicate with each other.

"Now that we've started, let's arrest a bunch of people; maybe we can even catch a big fish."

"That way, if the higher-ups ask, it won't seem like we've gone to all that trouble."

"Thank you, thank you. Let's have tea sometime."

"Of course, of course. If we can't even protect our own descendants, who can we protect!"

"That's how it is, see you later!"

Ji Mingze got up and went to the map.

After reporting to Ji Mingze, Ji Ping called Chu Wei.

Let her personally go and stay by Nie Qian's side.

Nie Qian had already received the news that the Ji family had been mobilized.

When Chu Wei arrived, Nie Qian had already overcome the most difficult stage.

Nie Qian didn't keep Chu Wei and sent her out again.

The more people searching for Li Tian, ​​the more opportunities there will be.

Li Tian is currently curled up on a small bed, still unconscious.

"This child is dressed so well; I'm afraid he'll get into trouble!"

"What trouble could there be? Just change her into some ordinary clothes and cut her hair short, and even her parents might not recognize her."

"Okay! But we still need to send it out as soon as possible."

The man nodded.

"Keep an eye on the child, I'll go contact the buyer right away."
