"Mi Er, violin teacher called this morning to inform Madam about the immense improvement Mi Er has made after her last competition performance. Madam was very happy to receive such awesome news so she decided to surprise Mi Er by buying her a new set of violin and some toys and games she loved. Since she left the mansion this morning, we haven't heard a word from her or Mr Jiang who went with her," The Nanny calmly explained all she knew.

"If she wanted to surprise Mi Er as you said, that means she would have come back from the mall before Mi Er returns from school so why isn't she back yet?" Yang Zi asked rhetorically.

​​

"Zi Er, don't worry I am sure Auntie is alright. Earlier when you went upstairs, I had messaged Shiyi about the situation and he promised to instantly drop by at our secret hideout so I am certain he must be there at the moment. He will inform us if he finds out anything," Shui Shui said, as she placed her hands on Yang Zi's shoulders.

"I can't just sit idly around when there is a possibility that my mum might have encountered some sort of danger. I might go crazy from waiting," Yang Zi said standing up abruptly. Shui Shui stood up too.

"Nanny do whatever you have to do to make sure that Mi Er doesn't wake up until I return. Even though you have to give her sleeping pills to achieve that then do it because I don't know what I am gonna do to you and everyone else in the mansion if peradventure I come back to see my baby crying," Yang Zi threatened, before she walked towards the entrance. She even forgot to take her handbag along with her.

Goddamn it! Zi Er is back to her former self. I wish nothing bad has happened to Auntie. A few people are gonna end up dead if something terrible had happened to her precious mother. I am afraid even I or Shiyi won't be able to control her if she goes berserk.

Shui Shui thought as she stared at Yang Zi's departing figure. She hurried after her soon.

Shui Shui who was driving, stole a secret glance at Yang Zi when he saw her searching for something inside the car. She did not even need Yang Zi to say a word for her to know what she was desperately searching for.

"Searching for this?" Shui Shui asked as she brought out the handbag Yang Zi had left behind inside the mansion.

"I knew you would look for this, that is why I took it along with me," Shui Shui said as she handed the handbag over to Yang Zi.

"Thank you," Yang Zi said, as she instantly removed her cellphone from her bag.

"Where are we going to?" Shui Shui finally asked the question she had wanted to ask since they left the mansion.

"To our hideout," Yang Zi said as she dialled someone's line. She patiently waited for the person to answer the line.

"Aren't you gonna tell Feng about what happened? I am sure he can help you find her sooner," Shui Shui suggested her gaze focused on the busy road.

"Shui Shui, nothing is certain at the moment so, we don't have to involve Feng in this. And even though something happens to my mum, the three of us can handle this. Feng is in a very important meeting so let's not disturb him," Yang Zi said as she waited for the receiver to answer the line.

"But...," Shui Shui kept quiet when Yang Zi placed her index finger on her lips indicating her to keep quiet.

"Feng Shu, meet me at the address I will give you in the next ten minutes. make sure not to inform anyone, including Feng that I called you," Yang Zi said sternly.

"Ok, Young Miss. I will be there on time," Feng Shu replied firmly after some minutes of hesitation. Yang Zi disconnected the call almost immediately.

"Feng Shu is joining us too, that is great," Sui Shui said, as she smiled at Yang Zi.

The troubled Yang Zi rested her head against the seat and closed her eyes to calm herself down. She knew that to find out what happened, she needs to stay cool-headed and to achieve this she needs to clear her mind of any distracting thought.

She stayed in that position until they got to their hideout. When they entered inside the mansion and did not find Shiyi downstairs, they both hurried upstairs.

They weren't disappointed to find him working on the screens.

"Shiyi, have you gotten any leads on Auntie's whereabouts? Did she actually go to the mall as the Nanny said?" Shui Shui asked as they both hurried down the stairs. When they got to where he was sitting, they stood behind him and peeped on what he was doing.

"According to the information I got, Auntie went to the mall like the Nanny said but she did not go to the mall with Mr Jiang. She went with two of her bodyguards....,"

"What do you mean, Mr Jiang did not go to the mall with mum? I specifically asked him not to let her leave his sight so why would he do that?" Yang Zi asked angrily.

"Zi Er, Mr Jiang not following her Is not the problem right now," Shiyi said, as he momentarily took his eyes off the screens for a few minutes.

"If that is not the problem, then what is?" Shui Shui asked anxiously.

"The fact that the two bodyguards that followed her have been confirmed dead by the police a few minutes ago," Shiyi announced to the shock of Yang Zi and Shui Shui.

"They have been killed? What about my mum? Nothing bad has happened to her right?" Yang Zi asked. Shui Shui and Shiyi could tell just how scared she was by mere staring at her face. They both silently prayed that nothing bad has happened to Mrs Yang.
