Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 554 - 378: Severance

The second watch arrived. Friends, was Nuan diligent today?

---------------------------------

"How can you be so happy when your wife has disappeared?"

"How can you be so happy when your daughter has disappeared?"

Lin Baohe and Liu Zhenqiang, having regained their composure, noticed each other’s expressions and simultaneously voiced the confusion in their hearts.

"Uncle...," Liu Zhenqiang gave Lin Baohe a pleasing smile, "I was a bit rude just now. Please don’t take it to heart. Here’s the thing, we were making dumplings when suddenly a dark-skinned tall man came, grabbed Qiyan, and ran off. By the time I chased him, he was already gone. What about your Chuxia, who took her away?"

Lin Baohe shook his head, "Chuxia wasn’t taken away. She was so upset by your father-in-law that she ran out, and I didn’t catch up with her either."

"Then let’s look for them separately. Perhaps they were taken by the same group. Please don’t get mad, but if it were only Qiyan who was taken, I’d be quite worried. If both of them were taken, I’d actually be less worried about Qiyan. When the two of them are together, who would they...?" Liu Zhenqiang didn’t finish his sentence, but anyone with a brain could quite clearly understand his implication.

Hearing this, Lin Baohe also panicked. He had initially thought that his daughter and Luo Xiaoqiong had taken Zhao Qiyan away, but now it seemed that might not be the case.

How could he be so confused? If it had been his daughter and Luo Xiaoqiong, why would Liu Zhenqiang ask him such a question? It wasn’t as if he didn’t recognize his daughter and Luo Xiaoqiong...

Angrily smacking his own head, Lin Baohe frantically ran toward his house. When he had come out earlier, he had seen Luo Gangshun and his group from a distance. They were probably home by now. Despite the urgency, he hadn’t lost his composure—how could he manage alone? frёeωebɳovel.com

Liu Zhenqiang paused, then followed him running. Since it was the same group that captured them, finding one would naturally lead to the other. There was no need to frantically scatter everywhere.

Meanwhile, Zhao Qiyan was forcibly carried by Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong from both sides and dragged to Zhao’s house. From afar, they heard the daughter’s screaming like a slaughtered pig. Zhao Yushan quickly stood up and walked outside, but his legs had gone numb from kneeling too long, and before he could step out, his legs gave way and he collapsed back to the ground, just as Zhao Qiyan was thrown to the floor by Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong, and father and daughter ended up sitting in the same posture at the front of the kang.

"...you heartless creature, are you trying to kill me? I’m carrying twins; you’re risking two lives here. Could you be any more cruel?..."

Sitting on the ground, Zhao Qiyan didn’t keep her mouth shut.

Li Aiyuan, Zhao Yulan, Fat Auntie, and Zhao Qihui glanced at Zhao Qiyan, who was dragged in like a dead pig, merely lifted their eyelids, then continued with their tasks.

They had anticipated this outcome already. Xiao Chuxia, who used to be unyielding, might have become sensible with age, but it didn’t mean she would put up with bullying. As for Luo Xiaoqiong, she had always been protective of Chuxia, often disregarding right and wrong. If she didn’t act together with her, she wouldn’t be herself.

Zhao Yushui anxiously helped his daughter to a chair. Looking displeased at Chuxia, he said, "Xia, your sister is pregnant with twins. Even if she is at fault, you shouldn’t have been so harsh. What if something had happened? You would be committing a sin!"

Chuxia ignored him, merely snorting coldly at Zhao Qiyan, "Stop pretending. Why were you silent on the road? Now that we’re indoors, you start acting up. Do you think being loud and crying and cursing puts you in the right?

Today, in front of grandma, grandpa, and your dad, place your hand over your heart and tell us honestly—how did you go missing, and why did I hit you?"

Zhao Qiyan looked up pitifully at Old Master Zhao and Old Lady Zhao, "Grandpa, Grandma, you can’t just believe her and not me..."

"Don’t think you can get away with lying. If you dare to lie, I’ll hand over the evidence involved in your case. If it weren’t for the sake of family, do you think you’d be sitting here intact? You know the situation with Xiao Yuwen, right? If you want to join him, I’ll help you."

Zhao Qiyan, who had initially thought about repeating the excuses she told Zhao Yushui, was scared stiff by Chuxia, standing there with her mouth half-open, her mind a complete mess.

Zhao Yushui’s impression of Chuxia was still stuck in the past, so he had chosen to believe his daughter, but now, he was beginning to doubt his own judgement.
