My Livestreaming Metaphysics & Gossip Became an Internet Sensation Ch. 49

At that point, Wang Dahong was willing to believe in anything if it meant getting her son back. She immediately got Jiang Yiqing's livestream ID and tried to connect with him.

Xu Fengshou, however, was still reluctant. He didn't trust this kind of supernatural stuff. He would rather rely on the police.

But Wang Dahong couldn't wait any longer.

And that was how they ended up here.

Meanwhile, the livestream chat was buzzing.

"Oh, so their kid is missing. Alright, I get why the dad is acting like this. Qingqing, go easy on him when you prove him wrong."

"There's no way this kid just wandered off on his own, right? It's been a whole day... Don't tell me—"

Before the speculation could spiral further, Jiang Yiqing's gentle voice cut through the tension. "Big sister, don't panic. What I can tell you for sure is that Xiaobao is not in any immediate danger."

Wang Dahong's tears kept flowing. "Where is he? Please, just tell me where my Xiaobao is. I just want him home..."

Xu Fengshou looked at Jiang Yiqing with a complicated expression. They had never mentioned their son's name before. But now, he truly wished—more than anything—that this man could find their child.

Jiang Yiqing knew that no amount of comforting words would help at this point. The only thing that mattered was finding Xu Xiaobao.

So he focused, calculating Xiaobao's whereabouts. A few seconds later, a knowing smirk crossed his lips.

"Big sister, your Xiaobao isn't far from you at all."

Wang Dahong blinked in confusion. "That's impossible. He's not in our house—there's nowhere for him to hide. And it's been over a day! Even if he had fallen asleep somewhere, he wouldn't have stayed hidden this long..."

Jiang Yiqing shook his head. "No, that's not what I meant. Xiaobao isn't in your house. Oh... but he should be in your neighbor's house. Why don't you go check?"

The couple exchanged glances, both hesitating.

Xu Fengshou frowned, clearly skeptical. "That's ridiculous. Why would Xiaobao be in our neighbor's house? If he were there, we would've known! We've been searching like crazy. Why would they keep him there instead of bringing him home?"

Seeing their hesitation, Jiang Yiqing sighed softly. "What if Xiaobao didn't go to their house willingly?" He raised an eyebrow. "Instead of arguing with me, wouldn't it be better to go check?"

Xu Fengshou pressed his lips together. Before he could say anything, Wang Dahong immediately declared, "We're going to look."

Xu Fengshou hesitated. "But—"

Wang Dahong let out a mocking laugh. "Xu Fengshou, don't tell me you're afraid of offending our neighbors at a time like this? Let me be clear—I don't care about anything except finding my son! If you're too scared to go, I'll go alone!"

Xu Fengshou flushed with shame. It wasn't that he didn't care—it was just that he didn't trust Jiang Yiqing's abilities. If he truly believed there was a lead on Xiaobao, he would have rushed over without hesitation.

But now, faced with his wife's determined glare, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go with you!"

"Wait—keep the livestream running. Bring it with you," Jiang Yiqing reminded.

Without a second thought, Wang Dahong nodded and carried the phone along.

The livestream chat exploded with speculation.

"Why would the neighbors keep Xiaobao in their house? Maybe he was having too much fun and forgot to go home?"

"No way. It's been over a day! Any decent person would've sent him home by now. This is definitely intentional."

Jiang Yiqing lazily raised an eyebrow at that last comment but said nothing. He wasn't worried about being wrong. He took a slow sip of his tea—one that Wen Xiuyan had gifted him. He'd enjoyed it so much yesterday that Wen Xiuyan had given him an entire box. The taste was rich and fragrant, just the way he liked it.

Meanwhile, things weren't going as smoothly for Wang Dahong and Xu Fengshou.

They lived in Xu Family Village, a rural area where each household had its own separate home. When they knocked on their neighbor's door, an older woman in her fifties, Xu Fang, answered. She froze for a split second upon seeing them, then forced a smile.

"What brings you here so late? Did you find Xiaobao? Ah, he's such a playful child—maybe he's just hiding somewhere again. Kids get too excited playing and lose track of time. You shouldn't worry too much."

Wang Dahong's temper flared. "Xiaobao may be a little mischievous, but he knows better than to stay out overnight like this!"

Xu Fang's smile faded. She pursed her lips and snapped, "I was just trying to comfort you! But instead of appreciating it, you lash out at me? I get that you're worried, but this attitude is uncalled for! Ugh, I don't need this stress. Just go home!"

Jiang Yiqing paused mid-sip. She's stalling. She was intentionally trying to start an argument to avoid letting Wang Dahong inside.

Wang Dahong realized it too. A small part of her had still doubted whether Xiaobao was really here, but Xu Fang's reaction only strengthened her suspicions. Her voice turned sharp. "I'm not leaving. Let me search your house."

Xu Fang's eyes widened in disbelief. She shrieked, "Wang Dahong! Don't you dare accuse me of hiding your son! That's absurd! My own son is already old enough to get married—why would I care about your brat?"

Wang Dahong's expression remained firm. "If you've got nothing to hide, then let me check. If Xiaobao isn't here, I'll apologize to you!"

Seeing that Xu Fang was about to slam the door shut, Xu Fengshou immediately stepped forward and blocked it with his arm.

Xu Fang's face twisted in fury, but she couldn't overpower a grown man. She turned her head and shouted for her husband.

Moments later, an older man, Xu Faxi, came stomping out of the house. He had clearly overheard everything and wasted no time barking, "Get out! You have no right to barge in here!"

But Wang Dahong wasn't backing down. Their reactions were too suspicious. If they truly had nothing to hide, why were they so desperate to keep her out?

Even Xu Fengshou, who had been the most doubtful before, was beginning to waver.

The four of them stood in a tense standoff, the atmosphere thick with hostility.

It was just early evening, and most of the villagers hadn't gone to bed yet. When they heard the commotion, they all came over to see what was going on.

Xu Fang's eyes darted around, and without missing a beat, she slapped her thigh and plopped down on the ground, wailing, "This is outrageous! Just because my husband and I are mild-tempered doesn't mean we can let people walk all over us!"
