At six in the evening, Yan Jien had just finished work when he received a call from Yan Weila.
"Yan Jien, Dou Dou is missing!" Yan Weila's voice was filled with tears.
"How could Dou Dou be missing?" Yan Jien exclaimed in shock.
"I don't know either. I picked her up from school, and she insisted on going out to play. I let her go downstairs, but she hasn't come back yet..." Yan Weila explained.
"Don't panic, I'll be right back!" Yan Jien hung up the phone and hurried back to Jubao Peak.
"Yan Jie, what happened?" Yan Jien asked anxiously as he reached Yan Weila.
"Dou Dou is missing. I've been looking for her for a long time and can't find her..." Yan Weila choked up.
"Can't find her?" Yan Jien frowned.
"Yes," Yan Weila nodded.
"I'll go take a look." Yan Jien turned to head downstairs.
"I'm going too." Yan Weila followed him.
...
The two arrived at the bottom of the apartment complex. Yan Jien closed his eyes and used his consciousness to sense Dou Dou's location. His awareness swept through the entire community but did not find any trace of Dou Dou. However, he did sense Yan Weila's presence.
"Did you find Dou Dou?" Yan Weila asked anxiously as soon as Yan Jien opened his eyes.
"No," Yan Jien shook his head.
"What should we do?" Yan Weila panicked.
"Don't worry, let me think of a way," Yan Jien reassured her.
"Dou Dou won't be in danger, will she?" Yan Weila worriedly asked.
"No, she's definitely fine right now," Yan Jien assured her.
"How do you know?" Yan Weila was surprised.
"Because she was taken by someone," Yan Jien speculated.
"Taken by someone? Who did it?" Yan Weila was shocked.
"It’s likely Professor Fang," Yan Jien concluded.
"What does he want with Dou Dou?" Yan Weila questioned in confusion.
"Because the bread and milk tea are in my possession," Yan Jien replied.
"The bread and milk tea? Aren't they at your house?" Yan Weila asked, puzzled.
"Professor Fang thinks I stole the bread and milk tea," Yan Jien explained.
"So he took Dou Dou to threaten you?" Yan Weila realized.
"Exactly," Yan Jien nodded.
"What should we do now?" Yan Weila panicked again.
"Professor Fang's target is me; Dou Dou should be safe for now," Yan Jien speculated.
"Then let's call the police quickly!" Yan Weila suggested.
"No, Professor Fang is not an ordinary person. Calling the police won't help," Yan Jien shook his head.
"What should we do?" Yan Weila was at a loss.
"Wait," Yan Jien said.
"Wait?" Yan Weila was confused.
"Professor Fang captured Dou Dou to lure me out. He will definitely call me," Yan Jien concluded.
"Oh," Yan Weila nodded.
"Sister Yan, you should go home and wait. I'll go look for her," Yan Jien said.
"Okay," Yan Weila agreed.
...
Yan Jien walked around the neighborhood but did not find Dou Dou, so he had to return to the 28th floor.
At that moment, Yan Weila was pacing back and forth in the living room, extremely anxious.
"Sister Yan, how is it?" Yan Jien asked as he entered.
"No news," Yan Weila shook her head.
"Then let's wait a bit longer," Yan Jien said.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought Dou Dou to Nanquan City; otherwise, this wouldn't have happened..." Yan Weila blamed herself.
"This isn't your fault; it's my responsibility for not protecting you both," Yan Jien felt guilty.
"What good does it do to say this now? I just hope Dou Dou is safe..." Yan Weila sighed.
The two sat on the sofa, silent and facing each other.
Time passed, and soon it was seven o'clock in the evening.
"Ding ding ding..." Yan Jien's phone rang.
"It's Professor Fang!" Yan Weila exclaimed upon seeing the caller ID, suddenly excited.
"Finally!" Yan Jien breathed a sigh of relief and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Professor Fang," Yan Jien spoke up.
"Yan Jien, your daughter is in my hands!" Professor Fang sneered.
"Where have you taken Dou Dou?" Yan Jien demanded.
"Do you want to see her?" Professor Fang countered.
"What do you want?" Yan Jien asked.
"Get to Goat Horn Peak before seven o'clock, or I can't guarantee her safety!" Professor Fang threatened.
"Goat Horn Peak?" Yan Jien frowned.
"That's right," Professor Fang confirmed.
"Okay, I'll be there right away," Yan Jien promised.
"Come alone; otherwise, I won't hesitate to kill her!" Professor Fang warned.
"I understand," Yan Jien nodded.
Beep beep beep... Professor Fang hung up the phone.
"What's going on? Where is Dou Dou?" Yan Weila asked anxiously.
"Goat Horn Peak," Yan Jien replied.
"Are you really going?" Yan Weila expressed her concern.
"Yeah," Yan Jien nodded.
"Then be careful," Yan Weila advised.
"I know," Yan Jien nodded again.
"I'm going too!" Yan Weila decided.
"What are you going for?" Yan Jien was surprised.
"Dou Dou is my daughter; I have to go!" Yan Weila insisted firmly.
"But..." Yan Jien hesitated.
"Yan Jien, I can't lose Dou Dou!" Yan Weila's eyes turned red.
"Alright then," Yan Jien reluctantly agreed.
...
At seven in the evening, Yan Jien and Yan Weila drove towards Goat Horn Peak.
"Yan Jie, you drive," Yan Jien instructed.
"Okay," Yan Weila nodded.
Yan Jien closed his eyes and used his consciousness to scan Goat Horn Peak, searching for Dou Dou's location.
His consciousness covered the entire Goat Horn Peak, but he found no trace of Dou Dou.
"Could she not be here?" Yan Jien frowned.
"We're here," Yan Weila said as she stopped the car.
"Let's go up," Yan Jien said.
"Mm-hmm," Yan Weila nodded.
The two walked along the mountain path towards the summit. At this time, the sky had darkened, and the bright moon cast a silvery glow over the night at Goat Horn Peak.
"Where could Dou Dou be?" Yan Weila looked around.
"She should be at the top of the mountain," Yan Jien guessed.
"Then let's hurry to the top!" Yan Weila urged.
"Yeah," Yan Jien nodded.
They quickened their pace and soon reached the summit. At that moment, the moon hung directly in the sky, its silver light illuminating the entire Goat Horn Peak.
"Dou Dou!" Yan Weila spotted Dou Dou on a rock and immediately felt overjoyed.
"Shh—" Yan Jien signaled her to be quiet.
"What’s wrong?" Yan Weila lowered her voice.
"Act like you don't know Dou Dou is here, understand?" Yan Jien instructed.
"Why?" Yan Weila asked, confused.
"Don't ask so many questions, just do as I say," Yan Jien instructed.
"Okay." Although Yan Weila was puzzled, she nodded.
The two approached the rock and saw Dou Dou lying on it, sleeping soundly.
"Dou Dou, wake up," Yan Weila gently nudged Dou Dou.
"Mm... Mom, why are you here?" Dou Dou rubbed her eyes, still half-asleep.
"Dou Dou, let's go home," Yan Weila suggested.
"Mom, I want to play a little longer," Dou Dou pleaded.
"Dou Dou, it's already dark; it's time to go home," Yan Jien advised.
"Dad, can I just play for a little while longer?" Dou Dou begged.
"Dou Dou..." Yan Jien wanted to persuade her further when his expression suddenly changed.
"Yan Jien, what's wrong?" Yan Weila noticed Yan Jien's unusual demeanor and quickly asked.
"Dou Dou, you go home first; next time Dad will bring you back to play, okay?" Yan Jien gently patted Dou Dou's head and spoke softly.
"Alright then." Dou Dou obediently nodded.
"Let's go." Yan Jien took Dou Dou and Yan Weila by the hand and started walking down the mountain.
"We're leaving now?" Yan Weila asked in surprise.
"Yes," Yan Jien replied with a nod.
The three of them walked down the mountain path. Just as they reached halfway down, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Professor Fang!" Yan Weila exclaimed in shock.
"Didn’t expect this? I'm back," Professor Fang sneered coldly.
"What do you want?" Yan Jien positioned himself protectively in front of Yan Weila and Dou Dou, asking in a deep voice.
"Of course, I want to kill you!" Professor Fang's eyes glinted with malice.
