Xiao Qian was still awake, but he heard the sound of a child crying. He quickly got up and went out to check on the situation.

”What's going on? Why is that child crying?”

”Reporting to General, Little A Jin said that the Su Family's wife is missing.”

How could a perfectly fine person disappear? Su Zhi had clearly said goodbye to him, how could she disappear?

”Did you go out to dinner?” Xiao Qian asked.

”I don't know. No one saw it.”

Xiao Qian did not ask any more questions and went to the tent where Su Zhi was being accommodated. As expected, he saw a five-year-old child sitting outside the tent with a crying little girl in his arms.

When she saw him, she cried even louder. She broke free from her brother's embrace and ran towards him, crying, ”Daddy! Daddy!” She looked extremely wronged.

Xiao Qian's heart softened as he squatted down to pick up the child. The child, whose face was covered in snot and tears, was buried on his shoulder, gasping for breath.

He did not know how to coax the child. Although he loved the child, his body language was coarse. He did not know how to tease her.

”General, where did my mother go? She never leaves in the middle of the night. ”

A Jin's voice was still shaky, carrying an extreme sense of fear and worry.

Xiao Qian patted the girl gently on the shoulder as he consoled her with a low voice, ”I was the one who asked your mother to stay here and help me with some things. I think it's more convenient for her to go out at night, so I'll send someone to look for her. Don't worry, your mother will be fine. Take care of your sister first, don't worry her.”

A Jin cried as she reached out to take the bean bun, ”General, my mother is not well, if there's any work in the future I can help her with it. I'm not afraid of pain or tiredness, I can do anything.”

Xiao Qian nodded slightly. He felt guilty, and didn't dare to look into the child's innocent eyes.

Where the hell had the woman gone? Why did he disappear without a sound?
