Chapter 226 Qiao Qiao disappeared, and three of the group went mad.

The little guy is inside a bubble, carrying two cannons, and he's dashing around all over the bubble, firing cannons as he goes!

After the fireworks ended, a couplet was hung on the cannon's nozzle.

First line: The weakling is no longer a weakling.

The second line reads: "The useless is no longer useless."

Horizontal scroll: Congratulations!

The atmosphere was so lively, it was just like Chinese New Year!

“…” Shen Qingyan.

Shen Qingyan almost laughed.

It's both infuriating and hilarious.

But in reality, the moment he held that soft little body in his arms, his tears almost burst forth.

He could only bury his head in the little guy's small, weak shoulders, trying to calm himself down.

These twenty-four hours.

It was even more agonizing than the journey he took to find her when he first came to see her.

Especially after learning that she was most likely kidnapped because of his negligence, he felt like killing himself.

Every minute she was missing felt like an eternity.

He thought that if he really couldn't find her, there was probably no point in him living in this world.

Thank goodness.

He found her.

Unlike last time, he didn't make her suffer before finally finding him.

"sorry."

I'm sorry, I promised to protect you, but I've always broken my promise.

Qiao Qiao shook her head in someone's arms.

"It's not my fault... Daddy, it's already amazing that you found me so quickly..."

Qiao Qiao paused for a moment, but in the end, she still willingly called out those two words.

Upon hearing those two words, she was met with an even tighter embrace from Shen Qingyan.

It was so tight that Qiao Qiao felt like she was being strangled.

Fortunately, although Shen Qingyan was excited, he still paid close attention to her emotions. As soon as she frowned, he immediately relaxed his grip.

He raised his head, staring intently at his precious treasure that he had once again lost and found in his arms. The frost in his eyes had long since vanished, leaving only tenderness and affection.

The people around them, watching this heartwarming moment between the father and daughter, all tacitly remained silent.

Of the six people present, all but Jiang Xinyue had met Shen Qingyan before.

Dou Yufeng, in particular, had seen Shen Qingyan many times in the past because Long Yijun often stayed at her place.

But this was the first time Dou Yufeng had ever seen Shen Qingyan so emotionally expressive.

Even when Long Yijun ran away from home and he came to her, it wasn't at this moment that she realized so deeply that the man in front of her truly seemed to love his daughter terribly.

"Tsk, Qiaobao, you really made us search for you for ages! You have no idea, your dad was practically driving like a rocket all the way here. Several times, Uncle Di thought we were going to fly!"

In this silence.

Di Zixuan, who followed from the passenger seat, saw the father and daughter showing a rare moment of tenderness and wanted to make a good impression on Shen Qingyan in front of Qiao Qiao.

After getting off the bus, he patted his chest and said in a very exaggerated manner.

Actually, he wasn't exaggerating.

When they received Tan Hongwei's pager message, they had already tracked him down to the vicinity of Luanfu County.

At normal speeds, it would take at least two hours to get here.

But after receiving the news, Shen Qingyan drove a military vehicle himself to pick them up.

Two police cars were also following them at the time.

But Shen Qingyan didn't want anyone else to follow him, which Di Zixuan didn't understand at first.

It wasn't until he begged and pleaded to get into the car that he realized his superior hadn't been waiting for anyone to leisurely follow him; instead, he had sped all the way here.

They managed to squeeze a two-hour drive into forty minutes!

Even someone who has climbed high mountains, waded through great rivers, and scaled snow-capped peaks was made to vomit four or five times, practically vomiting the whole way!

It's absolutely terrible.

Seeing that Qiao Qiao was perfectly fine, Di Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Once I relaxed, my stomach started rumbling.

Ignoring his commander who was about to cry, he first saluted Old Master Tan and Tan Hongwei.

Then, grinning, he looked at Dou Yufeng and Jiang Xinyue, rubbing his hands together shamelessly, and said, "Hello, sisters-in-law! I wonder if I could beg for a meal here? I'm starving!"

Poor thing.

It started yesterday afternoon when Qiao Qiao went missing.

He's been incredibly busy, running around for 24 hours straight, and only managed to eat half a steamed bun in the early hours of this morning.

"Oh dear, look at me, I was in a daze, haha, wait here, I'll get it for you." After regaining her senses, Dou Yufeng naturally agreed with a hearty laugh.

Fortunately, when she started cooking, she cooked enough rice for Lin Chunxia and Tan Hongming. In addition, the three younger children hadn't finished school yet, so she could cook more for them. The existing rice should be enough for them.

Dou Yufeng quickly grabbed two large bowls.

When she added two bowls of rice and handed over chopsticks, she looked at Shen Qingyan and didn't know how to address him for a moment, so she simply said, "Let's eat first, Qiaoqiao must be hungry too."

Shen Qingyan had calmed down by now, but her eyes were still red and bloodshot.

He also became emotional and looked at the people at the dining table. When he saw Grandpa Tan sitting next to Qiao Qiao, he subconsciously wanted to stand up and salute, but Grandpa Tan stopped him.

"Okay, okay, be careful not to drop the child. Sit down and eat properly."

Shen Qingyan was indeed reluctant to put down the little body in his arms. The person had been found, but the fear lingering in his soul had not dissipated.

He doesn't want to let go for even a second now.

Shen Qingyan did not put Qiao Qiao back in the chair she had been sitting in, but instead held her in his arms and fed her.

After practicing the night before last, he has basically gotten the hang of it.

However, the others had never seen Shen Qingyan like this before, and they were all stunned.

Grandpa Tan was astonished to see that Shen Qingyan knew to feed the child half a bowl of soup before the meal. He said, "I didn't realize you were so thoughtful."

Shen Qingyan just smiled and didn't say anything.

As they ate, the group talked about what had happened the night before.

When Dou Yufeng recounted the scene of finding Qiao Qiao last night, her tone was tinged with heartache: "It's fortunate that we found her, otherwise, in the middle of the night, who knows how much suffering the little girl would have endured."

Dou Yufeng's original intention was to blame Shen Qingyan for not taking good care of the person.

But watching him, a grown man, holding Qiao Qiao, he was able to take care of her perfectly, whether it was feeding her rice or soup, and the words he was about to say would go in circles.

Finally, he only said, "I didn't expect you to be so fast, to find it so quickly."

Upon hearing this...

Di Zixuan shoveled another mouthful of rice into his mouth.

But I was internally complaining.

That's not true.

From the moment it was confirmed that Qiao Qiao was missing.

Three of them went insane shortly afterward.
