Yang Ziying and Qiu Hong had arrived together. Qiu Hong had purposely delayed them for a while on the way here. When they knocked on Xuan Peng's door, they were truly shocked by the scene before them.

Because the door was silently dyed open, there was no furry toys left in the living room.

The exaggerated princess dress that Jing Xiaoxiao was wearing really did look like a princess that came from a fairy tale kingdom. Jing Xiaoxiao was looking at them with a joyous expression as she continuously spun around to ask if she was pretty.

Qiu Hong kept nodding her head, praising Jing Xiaoxiao for her beauty. After a long time, Yangzi recovered from her shock. She thought that what she saw today was still the same Jing Xiaoxiao who coaxed the cloth doll like a frightened bird.

Xuan Peng took in Yang Ziying and Qiu Hong's reactions. With a calm expression, he asked them, ”Do you want to have breakfast together? I've made porridge.”

Yang Ziying refused. Looking at the happy Mo Xiaoxiao who was touching her clothes, she sighed. She didn't know where the Xiao family's exit was.

There was still no news from Xiao Menghan. Han Yong had also disappeared. The expedition team led by the female reporter also suddenly disappeared. It was as if she had suddenly disappeared.

Xiao Yuelin had already sent out his elite troops to search. The other departments had also sent out people to coordinate with him.

The sun was still rising and setting in the west, and the days passed just the same. The city was still bustling with activity every day, with busy people running about for their lives.

However, what surged beneath the calm and tranquil atmosphere was a wave of unease.

At the very least, Yang Ziying was trembling with fear at every moment because she had a premonition that a great crisis was about to befall the Xiao family. And last night, Xiao Yuelin had already mentally prepared Yang Ziying.

Some can stand the wind and the waves, and some are destined to be low in the dust.

The ups and downs of life were actually nothing bad. This was what Xiao Yuelin had said. After tasting the delicacies of mountains and seas, one would know that life was only so-so.

What Xiao Yuelin did not tell Yang Ziying was that there were already movements from the higher ups secretly investigating the Xiao family.

Although the higher-ups did not tell Xiao Yuelin, from other sources, Xiao Yuelin knew that it was because of an anonymous letter.

Xiao Yuelin did not know the contents of the letter, but he knew that the content was definitely not ordinary. Otherwise, he would not have used the most secretive and powerful department.

Yang Ziying was envious of the current Jing Xiaoxiao. This was good as well. She didn't know if she should think too much about it.

Yang Ziying was too worried. She avoided Qiu Hong's sight and didn't have too many interactions with Xuan Peng. She got up and slowly walked to the window. Leaning against the wall, she looked down at the district below her.

The residential area was very quiet. Those who worked were already at work, and there were also old people who would return with baskets of vegetables. The elderly couple, who were wearing white clothes, were strolling around the garden.

This scene made the corners of Yang Ziying's eyes burn. She and Xiao Yuelin had also lived for over a hundred years, and it was unknown if they would have the same time in the future.

Suddenly, Yang Ziying's gaze landed on a certain place as the light in her eyes trembled.
