Chapter 774 Nothing Will Happen to Me With You by My Side

Bai Jingshu looked up, his eyes crimson, as he gazed at Bai Yunan. "Why didn't you tell us about this earlier? If you had told us earlier, I wouldn't have brought her back today!"

Bai Yunan was well aware of An Xia's significance to Bai Jingshu, and he felt guilty about it as well.

He rubbed his temples. He hadn't slept much because of this matter, investigating those people. However, they were absolutely cunning, disappearing in two shakes just as he found a few leads. None in the Gricy were benign people.

As a result, trouble struck home before he could make any headway.

Having more life experiences, he quickly calmed down and handed Bai Jingshu a cigarette, asking, "Did Dad come to see you?"

"He visited me yesterday." Bai Jingshu replied before lighting up the cigarette.

Smoking a cigarette always made him feel better when he was annoyed.

"I've already sent people to look for her. Don't worry. Their target is me, so they will definitely contact me," Bai Yunan said with absolute confidence.

Bai Jingshu nodded silently and finished the cigarette in three or four puffs.

At that, Bai Yunan handed him another one, but the young man waved it off. "No thanks." Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

After a pause, he added, "An Xia only allows me one cigarette a day."

"Sounds like she's keeping you on a tight leash." Bai Yunan quirked a brow at him.

Bai Jingshu stood up. "We're preparing to have a baby."

"But you just got married."

"I'm already thirty."

Bai Yunan, who was still unmarried at thirty-two, was at a loss for words.

"I can't just sit at home and wait. I'll go with them to search," Bai Jingshu said, with no time to consider whether he had hurt his eldest brother's feelings again. The only thing he could think about was An Xia right then.

"Let's go together." Bai Yunan took off his coat. "Hold on. Let me do a quick change."

Bai Yunan went upstairs to change his clothes and returned in just five minutes.

As the two brothers left the Bai residence, Bai Mingxu called, but he was calling Bai Yunan. "I heard An Xia was abducted at the compound entrance."

Bai Yunan answered the phone while driving, his tone showing a hint of impatience. "Yes, we're looking for her."

He didn't waste much time on the call. Every second was crucial when it came to finding someone.

"Why are you also looking for her? What about your work? Are you just going to ignore it?" Bai Mingxu's tone became serious and stern.

Bai Yunan squinted his eyes as he focused on the road, and his voice also became heavy. "Dad, I'm busy with work, but I haven't been so busy that I don't have time to help my brother find his wife."

Though his words alone didn't mean anything significant, Bai Mingxu thought his son had just insulted him.

"If there's nothing else, let's end it here. Finding An Xia is more important right now. The company can continue to run even without me, and I will make time to schedule things," Bai Yunan said and waited a few seconds. When he didn't hear Bai Mingxu speak, he hung up the phone directly.

Bai Jingshu and Bai Yunan split up and searched Jingcheng City all day until 8 p.m. when they reunited at the Bai Residence.

At this point, everyone in the Bai family was at home, and Bai Jingshu saw everyone gathering in the living room as soon as he entered, including Old Master Bai, whose spirits seemed to have improved a bit.

He didn't care about the expressions or moods of the others and went straight to Bai Yunan. "Any news, Yunan?"

Bai Yunan pursed his lips. "None."

At that, Bai Jingshu's already grim face turned even paler.

Everyone else had already eaten, and so did Bai Yunan when he returned before Bai Jingshu. Now, the young man was the only one who hadn't eaten.

Just then, Aunt Liu brought over the food. "Come, Young Master Jingshu. You haven't had dinner yet. Have some."

He shook his head. "No need, I'm not hungry."

In truth, he hadn't eaten anything all day; he had no appetite at all.

He was well aware of what kind of people Gricy's men were. Whenever he thought about An Xia still in their hands, her well-being unknown, he couldn't sit still or even eat a single bite.

On the other hand, a thought hit Bai Yunan as he looked at his brother's expression—if something were to happen to An Xia, he and Bai Jingshu might fall out for good.

"I'll go out and search again. Call me if there's any news." Bai Jingshu stood up and was about to leave when his phone rang.

He was going to hang up directly, but when he saw that it was Su Ziyue calling, he answered.

Su Ziyue's soft and pleasant voice came through the phone. "Bai Jingshu, where's An Xia? I've been trying to reach her all day, but her phone is unreachable."

While Bai Jingshu fell silent, unsure how to answer her question, Su Ziyue, having gone through many

things, immediately picked up an ominous feeling.

At that, she turned grim, asking, "An Xia… She isn't in trouble, is she?"

Bai Jingshu didn't intend to hide it either and told her the truth. "She was kidnapped, most likely by the Gricy fugitives."

His voice was tired and hoarse, and Su Ziyue couldn't bear to reprimand him, for she was also once in such a situation.

"I'll ask Qin Muchen to help with the search. Don't just focus on finding her. You need to take care of yourself too." Su Ziyue, after all, was a woman, and her thoughts were more delicate.

Bai Jingshu nodded. At the thought that she wouldn't be able to see his silent response, he immediately spoke up, only to hear her calling out to Qin Muchen. The next second, the call was disconnected.

After hanging up the phone, Su Ziyue ran to Qin Muchen's study.

Qin Muchen had gotten lazier by the day lately. He would go to his office in the morning to come home in the afternoon. Sometimes, he wouldn't even go to the company at all. Instead, he'd have Nan Chuan bring the work over to their home.

She ran upstairs with Beef following behind her, finding it amusing.

Together, they burst into the study.

Qin Muchen looked up and saw Su Ziyue running toward him, and he turned grim at once, his raven- black eyes squinting dangerously. "I dare you to run again, Su Ziyue!"

However, the young woman made nothing of his threat and went straight to Qin Muchen, grabbing his hand and urgently saying, "Qin Muchen, An Xia is missing. Bai Jingshu said she might have been abducted by the Gricy fugitives. I'm really worried about her. Let's go to Jingcheng City to find her."

"We're not going to Jingcheng City." Qin Muchen rejected her suggestion mercilessly.

Su Ziyue slapped him on the chest in anger, shouting at him, "Qin Muchen!"

Qin Muchen caught her hand and looked down at her, his expression unusually serious. "I will send people to find An Xia, or if you want me to go personally, I can, but you must stay in Yunzhou City."

"But I'm really worried about her. Take me with you. Nothing will happen to me with you by my side. Besides, the doctor said the baby is doing fine, and I will take good care of myself. We can also bring Zixi with us. He can take care of me. Please agree…"
