Chapter 143: Dangerous Heretics Handling Bureau (1/2)

The cry of the little baby in the nursery behind her was shrill. Ji An’s expression changed and she quickly became more desperate.

“Is there a child?” Liu Jiayi slightly turned her head. Her ability to listen to sound and identify the position had always been very strong. She soon made a judgment. “It is the last room in the house. It should be Su Yang’s child.”

Ji An’s mind was blank. She couldn’t think as she turned around and ran madly to the baby’s room.

She locked the room with trembling hands and picked up the baby. She walked to the left and right with short breaths, tears of fear overflowing from the corners of her eyes.

She pushed open the window and yelled, “Anyone! Help! Somebody! Please!”

No one responded to Ji An.

She buried her face hysterically in the baby’s swaddling clothes and cried bitterly. Even so, she covered the baby’s ears with her hands and constantly kissed and comforted the frightened baby. “It’s okay. Baby, sleep. Mama is here. I won’t let anything happen to you.”

The lock behind her made a click. There was the sound of a key being inserted into the lock and slowly turning.

Ji An’s breathing stopped. She fumbled with a shaking hand in her pajama pocket where she had placed the key of the nursery.

Now, it had disappeared like the phone. It had been stolen by those two people.

Ji An gave a long sob. Her face was full of tears as she closed her eyes with despair.

The door of the baby’s room opened slowly.

It was empty and only the sound of the bells above the crib were ringing.

Mu Sicheng made a strange expression. He looked around the room and bent down to look below the bed. “Where is this person? I clearly saw her running into this room.”

Liu Jiayi raised a hand to stop Mu Sicheng’s steps. “The sound of breathing is still here.”

She half closed her eyes and listened. Then she raised her head and looked out the window. “The person is outside the window.”

“Outside the window?!” Mu Sicheng was shocked.

He opened the window and looked outside. Once he turned his head, he saw Ji An holding the baby and kneeling on the external air conditioner.

The night wind was cold and strong, blowing Ji An’s white pajamas. She looked like a dandelion that would be blown down at any time. She grabbed her child for dear life while tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

Mu Sicheng had a headache. “Big sister, we don’t have this intention for the time being. Of course, we can’t deny that there might be such arrangements in the future but we mainly want to find Su…”

As he was speaking, Ji An shook her head and took two steps back alertly. The screws of the old air conditioner/heater were rusted and it suddenly tilted to one side as she stepped back. She panicked as she fell down.

Ji An said she would jump down with her child but on the verge of life or death, her instinctive reaction was to hold the baby in her arms out toward Mu Sicheng.

Her eyes were desperate and full of begging, her voice choked up. “Please! Save my child!”

Mu Sicheng’s pupils shrank and his motor nerves were quick enough to hook one foot on the window while his other foot steadily hooked against the collapsing air conditioner frame to avoid it falling with the mother and child.

The heavy weight on his ankles caused the veins on his forehead to bulge. He stuck to the outer wall, clutching the window with one hand and holding the waist of the falling Ji An with the other hand.

“Shit!” Mu Sicheng’s face was red and his neck veins beat fast due to excessive force. “You are heavy, Sister!”

The baby swaddling in Ji An’s arms became loosened by Mu Sicheng’s pulling.

The baby was ignorant and babbled happily a few times. She moved her hands and feet and slid slowly out of the packaging.

“Fuck!” Mu Sicheng stared at the baby slowly slipping down with wide eyes. However, he had no more hands to spare. “Hold onto your child!”

The baby slipped completely out of the wrapping.

The baby slipped through the air with wide eyes. Her hand seemed to want to grab at her mother’s fingers. She didn’t understand what was going on and fell down with innocent eyes wide open.

“Baby!” Ji An turned to try and reach for the baby. Her face looked crazy and was covered with tears. “My child!!!”

Liu Jiayi crossed by Mu Sicheng. She held the window with one hand and flipped out without hesitation.

Mu Sicheng exclaimed with surprise, “Liu Jiayi! Hey! You can’t see!”

Liu Jiayi didn’t look back. As if she could see, she hung lightly from the air condition box supported by Mu Sicheng and jumped a few times on different air conditioners. Finally, she held an air conditioner with one hand and grabbed the falling child’s foot.

The child hung upside in mid-air, unable to react for a moment. Then she babbled and shook her limbs toward Liu Jiayi as if asking for a hug.
