Chapter 104: Tiot home, Papa Jiao and Grandpa Jiao were back already They were visibly tired

The baby under the bridge was not their baby They had taken so Yao Hong at the hospital They ca at the hospital

Grand Tan but decided to ask about the baby first She sighed after hearing what they had to say She didn't knohat to say

Youzi ran out of her room the moment she heard Grandma Jiao come back She stared at the door but the cat didn't appear The grown-ups were talking so she didn't get a chance to ask about Charcoal

Jiao Yuan switched through all the channels but didn't find anything he wanted to watch Just when he planned to take a nap on the couch, Youzi poked him and said, ”Charcol didn't come home”

Jiao Yuan sat up, he suddenly wasn't sleepy anymore He looked around and saw their cat wasn't around

”Grandma, where's Charcoal?” Jiao Yuan asked

Grandot about it She hurriedly told them what happened

”Charcoal ran away?” Jiao Yuan jumped off the sofa in disbelief

”Charcoal would never do that,” Youzi said

The two kids were about to go out to look for the cat, but Papa Jiao stopped the at someone?”

A guilt-ridden Grand at soarettes at the convenience store”

Papa Jiao then asked a few more questions, which Grandma Jiao answered

Papa Jiao went into his room to make a call Afterwards, he told Jiao Yuan and Youzi to stay up at home

”What is it?” Grandpa Jiao asked He was a curious person, if Papa Jiao didn't explain everything to him, he would be bothered for the rest of the day

”I asked about thelot My car was parked there so Charcoal, as in the car at the ti Eyewitnesses state that the woman took the baby to a man on a motorcycle Maybe Charcoal saw the driver He wouldn't just run away The person who bought cigarettes at the convenience store is highly suspicious I' over there now to see what I can find”

Maomao was the baby's nickname The new lead lifted Papa Jiao's spirits He took his cell and left

On the other hand, Zheng Tan, as still inside the pedicab, was starting to feel like he had acted too hastily He had jumped into the pedicab without any concrete evidence and now found hio He didn't even knohere this cab was headed

The pedicab finally stopped in the suburbs The area was s The pedicab drove along a dirt road and stopped in front of a house The driver got off without checking the back He took out his keys and entered the building

Zheng Tan peered out of theHe didn't see anyone around so he jumped out and hid behind a tree The weedy yard was perfect for hiding

Zheng Tan examined the two-story house It was covered in white ceras around, except the s and doors were all shut Zheng Tan noticed that aon the second floor used single-sided glass It was impossible to see inside thefrom the outside

Zheng Tan waited behind the tree for a while Eventually, he jumped onto a tree and waited on a branch He spied on the house through leaves

It was quiet around Most of the houses here were not occupied He learned fro past this area was to be part of the new urban planning project Those with far ahich hy the area seemed so deserted

Just when Zheng Tan was growing sleepy, aopened

on the second floor and a ed woman poured water out

It was that woman!

Zheng Tan felt excited He had not come here in vain

The wo Tan circled the house but couldn't find a way to sneak in The house didn't have a backyard and the first-floor s and doors were tightly shut The onlyopen had an anti-theft screen

He had to get to the second floor

If he had a cellphone, it would be so much easier He could text Papa Jiao anonymously However, no cells were around He couldn't talk so calling was useless He couldn't tell people the address

He was on his own He needed to at least find out if the baby was here

Zheng Tan didn't hear any crying when he was circling the building, but he didn't hear people talking either

He could wait till night, however, he remembered Papa Jiao had said every extra er He decided to act now

The front of the building was covered in ceramic tiles but the back was not The surface of the as rough and he could cliht of the second floor
