Meanwhile, somewhere in the backyard garden.
Lu Tingxiao, Lu Chongshan, Yan Ruyi were all there, as well as Guan Ziyao. Surrounding them were several servants with trembling faces, and the housekeeper was using the walkie-talkie to give instructions to the people on the other end.
"Master, we still haven't found the young master!" Butler Xing replied with sweat all over his forehead.
Lu Chongshan's face darkened, "Continue to send more people."
"If we send more people, it might arouse suspicion among the guests..." Butler Xing looked hesitant.
They are now saying that Yan Ruyi accidentally lost a valuable necklace, so they are looking for it. However, if it is just for a chain, it would be a bit unreasonable to send so many people.
What's more, none of the Lu family's hosts have shown up tonight, and the guests are not fools. I'm afraid they have already started to get suspicious...
"Retreat." Lu Tingxiao glanced at the time on his watch and said one word to Xing Wu.
One said to send more people, the other asked him to withdraw. Xing Wu looked at the old man, then at the young master, and froze for a moment. Who should he listen to
"We haven't found Xiaobao yet, why are we retreating?" Lu Chongshan's face was filled with anger.
"Ning Xi is almost here." Lu Tingxiao said.
"So what if she's here? Is she a deity? There are so many of us that we almost turned the grass over and still can't find Xiaobao. How can she find him by herself?" Lu Chongshan said unhappily.
"Tingxiao, Xiaobao's safety is more important. Let's listen to Uncle Lu and send more people to look for him!" Guan Ziyao advised from the side.
"Xing Wu, what are you still standing there for!" Lu Chongshan urged.
Xing Wu was in a dilemma. He glanced around and suddenly froze at the place not far ahead. He said in astonishment, "Young... Young Master..."
"What? Xiaobao? Where is he?" Yan Ruyi and Lu Chongshan asked in unison.
"Over there... it seems to be the young master..."
For a moment, everyone looked in the direction Xing Wu was pointing.
Then they saw Lu Jingli and Ning Xi walking towards them, with Ning Xi holding a child in her arms.
The little guy was wearing Lu Jingli's suit jacket and hugged the girl's neck tightly, with his little face buried in her shoulder, a posture that only people with extreme insecurity would adopt.
All of a sudden, everyone came forward with surprise on their faces.
"Jingli, where did you find Xiaobao?" Yan Ruyi was very excited.
“I didn’t even look for her. As soon as my sister-in-law showed up, Xiaobao showed up right after that!” Lu Jingli spread his hands.
"… "
No one expected it to be like this, and everyone was shocked.
In the end, it wasn't Ning Xi who found Xiao Bao... it was Xiao Bao who found her...
No wonder Lu Tingxiao was so sure that if Ning Xi came, he would be able to find Xiaobao.
It was obvious that Xiaobao was nearby, but he just didn't want to show up. When he saw the person he wanted to see, who he could rely on and who made him feel safe, he naturally came out.
Regardless, Lu Chongshan and Yan Ruyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but for a moment they didn't know how to treat Ning Xi.
Ning Xi didn't care about these things. She was completely focused on the little kid. She was coaxing him softly when the little guy suddenly poked his head out, holding a writing board in his trembling little hands, as if he had something to say...
"Baby, what's wrong?" Ning Xi hurriedly took the writing board.
The next second, when she saw what Xiaobao wrote, her eyes instantly turned red...
I saw Xiaobao's writing board saying: [Mom, I want to go home]
