The baby was missing.
They almost turned the woods upside down, but they couldn't find any clues.
The only thing they could hope for was that they didn't see the specific person. They could still hope that the baby was doing well. But everyone knew how slim that hope was.

"It's all my fault!" Gong Shouyuan was no longer arrogant. He patted the table tiredly, and the teacup made a crisp sound.
"It's also my fault. I didn't take good care of the baby …" Ji Shaozhang's face darkened too. He looked haggard because of the lack of rest.
"It's not the time to talk about that. I'll find the baby no matter what. The Gong family is blessed. Nothing will happen to them!" Gong Mohan rubbed his eyebrows. He couldn't hide the exhaustion on his face, and his voice was low and gloomy.
Gu Wan was the only one who didn't say anything.
She looked very calm. Holding Little Fish's hand, she stood at the door and looked through the yard without saying a word. There was no worry or anxiety on her face. It was as if she didn't care about the baby's life at all.
"Mommy?" Fishy's crisp voice sounded in her ear.
Gu Wan came back to her senses and turned to look at her. "Yes, what's wrong?"
"When will Big Brother come back?" Little Fish hesitated for a moment, but finally asked.
Gu Wan pursed her lips and thought for a moment. "Mom will definitely find Big Brother. Then, I'll bring Little Fish with me to pick him up, okay?"
"Yes." Little Fish nodded and looked at the blooming flowers in the yard.

The baby had been missing for more than a week.
Gu Wan always looked very calm, as if nothing had happened. She ate and drank as usual, but Gong Mohan could feel the strong uneasiness and worry in her heart.
That kind of emotion was pressing down on his heart like a dark cloud, so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
But there was still no news of the baby.
Gong Mohan's face became more and more terrible. He had used all his intelligence network, but the baby seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
Another three days passed.
A person suddenly knocked open the courtyard gate and staggered in.
This man was one of Satan's spies, and had been on standby in a special place.
"King, I think I saw the young master!" The man's face was injured and he looked anxious.
His words caused the atmosphere in the courtyard to instantly become cold. Everyone looked at him.
"Can you be more specific?" Gu Wan stopped what she was doing, frowning as she asked someone to take Little Fish away.
— —
Through this person's description, the anxiety in the hearts of the people in the courtyard was greatly suppressed. At least they knew that the baby was still alive.
"Why would he go there?" Gu Wan frowned after hearing that.
The place he was talking about was Myanmar, on the southern border of China.
Gu Wan had no idea when her baby had been targeted.
On the other side, when Gong Mohan heard about this place, his eyes slightly narrowed. This place reminded him of an organization that he had interacted with before, but at that time his sphere of influence was not in the southern border of China, so he didn't have a deep relationship with this organization.
But now, he clearly remembered that he had a batch of things in his hands, which were very important to these people.
Were they really here for that batch of goods?
Gong Mohan pondered and didn't notice that Gu Wan's eyes had fallen on him.
"Gong Mohan." Gu Wan stared at him for a while and found that this person didn't notice her gaze at all. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you know who took the baby away?"
Gong Mohan was stunned and subconsciously grunted. When he turned his head and met Gu Wan's gaze, he realized that something was wrong. He quickly said, "I don't know. I just want to know what kind of daring organization there is."
However, Gu Wan didn't seem to believe him. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and there was a hint of danger in them. "Really?"
"Uh …" Gong Mohan was a little embarrassed and couldn't find a good reason to explain.
"If you know, you must tell me." Gu Wan didn't want to pursue this matter further. She looked at Gong Mohan deeply for a while, then finally pursed her lips and changed the topic. "Because the baby is also my son. I … am very worried about him."
Gong Mohan had been at the top of the world for a long time, but he had never been defeated by anyone. The only person who had ever been defeated by him was Gu Wan.
As soon as he heard her tone of voice and thought about how she had become more and more haggard and silent these days, his heart ached. He couldn't help but say, "… I … I'm not very sure that they were the ones who took the baby away, so …"
Before he could finish, Gu Wan had already grabbed his collar at lightning speed. She gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Do you really know who it is?!"
The corner of Gong Mohan's eye twitched. This reminded him of the many times in the past when he was dominated by his wife's acting skills.
This time, it was actually an act again?!
Gu Wan's actions alarmed the others present. Ji Shaozhang and Gong Shouyuan both looked over in confusion.
"What's going on?" Seeing his grandson and granddaughter-in-law like this, Gong Shouyuan immediately thought that they were fighting over the baby. He immediately said, "Why are you two fighting?"
Gong Mohan looked helpless. He sighed and explained, "Grandpa, we're not fighting. Don't make trouble."
Hearing this, Gong Shouyuan almost exploded. However, when he thought about the baby, he felt that he was in the wrong. In the end, he shut his mouth sullenly.
"Explain it to me!" Gu Wan didn't care. She lowered her voice and glared at Gong Mohan.
Gong Mohan pursed his lips and was silent when he saw Gu Wan's expression. In the end, he could only compromise. "Let go of me first. It's a long story, and I really can't be sure that they did it."
"Then explain it to me!" Gu Wan glared at Gong Mohan as if she was going to eat him up the next second.
Gong Mohan thought about it and felt that he couldn't avoid it this time. He could only open his mouth helplessly and roughly explain what happened with that organization.
"According to what you said, there's no interaction between you two?" At some point, Gong Shouyuan and Ji Shaozhang also came over to listen. After listening, Ji Shaozhang said with a strange expression.
A bitter smile appeared on Gong Mohan's face. To be honest, he didn't want to have anything to do with that organization either.
"Did they take revenge on you for stealing something from someone else?" Gu Wan muttered to herself for a few seconds and said with a strange expression.
"…" Gong Mohan looked at Gu Wan speechlessly. He didn't know how to comment on her magical theory. "Since when did I steal something from others? Moreover, with my status, do I need to steal something I want? "
"Then what do you think happened?" Gu Wan frowned. She felt that what he said made sense, but she still asked with a bad expression.
Gong Mohan couldn't help but think of the goods in his hands, and his head hurt again. He pursed his lips and said, "Not many people know about this, and I don't know how I leaked it. Actually, a few months ago, I got a batch of goods …"
Gong Shouyuan thought for a moment when he heard this, and his expression suddenly changed. "You mean the batch from two months ago?!"
Gong Mohan smiled bitterly and nodded. "Do you know what's going on now?"
Gong Shouyuan's expression was ugly. "What did they want that for? It's useless. "
"I don't know." Gong Mohan shook his head honestly.
The grandfather and grandson talked in riddles, and the two people around them were confused. In the end, Gu Wan couldn't help but ask with a dark expression, "What exactly happened?!"
Her question made the grandfather and grandson fall silent. For a moment, no one said anything.
Gu Wan almost died of anger, but fortunately, Gong Mohan said, "If the baby is really in that organization, he should be fine before they come to talk to me. Although their headquarters is in Myanmar, the overall style of the organization is very good."
His words didn't make Gu Wan feel any better. She didn't just want to hear that her baby was safe. She wanted to see her baby!
"Mohan, go talk to them. At least ask them why they want this thing, and see if there's any room for negotiation," Gong Shouyuan said in a low voice after thinking about it.
Gong Mohan had the same plan. He nodded to show that he understood, and then turned around to instruct Hong Ying to make the arrangements.
Gu Wan quickly said, "I want to go with you!"
Gong Mohan stopped and turned to look at her. In the end, he nodded and didn't say anything. The two old men stayed on Carefree Island to accompany Little Fish.
Before leaving, Gu Wan slept with Little Fish. Before sleeping, Little Fish looked at Gu Wan worriedly. "Mommy."
"Yes?" Gu Wan replied softly as she stroked Little Fish's hair.
"Aren't you bringing Little Fish to see Brother?" When the man rushed into the yard, Gu Wan was with Little Fish. Although Little Fish was taken away later, she still knew that the baby had been found.
Gu Wan thought about it and shook her head gently. "It's too dangerous. This time, Daddy and Mommy are going to a bad place. It's not safe to bring you along."
Hearing that, Little Fish shrank into the blanket. She couldn't hide the disappointment on her face, but she still nodded obediently.
Her appearance made Gu Wan's heart ache. She looked at her daughter in silence for a long time before saying softly, "When Daddy and Mommy get rid of the bad people, I'll ask Grandpa to bring you over. Then, we'll bring Brother back together. How about that?"
Hearing that, Little Fish's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on her face. She nodded softly.
"… Go to sleep," Gu Wan said softly as she smiled and kissed her on the forehead.
When Little Fish fell asleep, Gu Wan got up and walked out of the room. Gong Mohan was already waiting outside the room. When he saw her come out, he held her hand and walked out of the yard …
