Tiantian Youxi kept her voice calm but was barely holding it together, "I've watched many of this master's livestreams. What he says really works. I know the child is missing, and I'm worried too, but can you just—"

The man sneered, "Do you think I'm angry with you because of the kid going missing?"

Tiantian Youxi froze, "What do you mean?"

"Li Hanmei, are you sure the kid going missing has nothing to do with you?"

"..." Tiantian Youxi paused before regaining her voice, "You think I lost the kid on purpose?"

"If not you, then who?" The man sounded confident, "The kid is usually so well-behaved, never leaves without saying a word, but the only time the kid disappears is when you're watching him. The neighborhood cameras didn't catch the kid, the villa gate cameras didn't catch the kid, and none of the nearby cameras saw the kid leave the villa. An eight-year-old just vanished like they disappeared into thin air. If it's not you, then who is it?!"

Tiantian Youxi stayed silent for a long time, seeming unable to believe it, or maybe just trying to process this ridiculous information. "But, why would I do that? What use would I have hiding my own kid?"

"..." The man sighed deeply, "I admit I've been really busy lately, I rarely spend time with you, you want attention. But Hanmei, I'm honestly tired of living a life where you keep pestering me all the time... Just give the kid back, and we can part ways peacefully."

[Wow! The big drama might be late, but it never misses!]

[What is this even?! I'm looking for the kid, but I hid the kid?]

[If this guy's telling the truth, is Tiantian Youxi's mental state a problem?!]

[Waaah, so scary!]

[Take back what I said earlier about hoping for the best. If she really has mental issues, I think the kid should be placed with another adoptive family... Sometimes when mentally ill people lose control, they have no reason.]

Lu Jingming watching the livestream pressed his lips into a thin line.

He'd always thought this partner was a person of good character, but now it seemed he'd been wrong—making things hard for his own wife at a time like this, even talking about divorce. Good character my ass.

Maybe it was because he'd seen too many conspiracies, but he felt something was off about bringing up divorce right now.

Just then, Lu Jingming noticed Yu Yuan had turned off the mic in the live connection and started a call. Her lazy voice echoed through the livestream.

"Hello, is this 110?"

"I want to report a crime."

"Someone's kidnapping a child here..."

Lu Jingming frowned.

Kidnapping children, the wife of this guy, called Tiantian Youxi, was a collaborator?
For a moment, he lost interest in handling the documents and stood in front of the big TV in the room with his arms crossed.

"Uncle!" The little fox sat on the bed, patting the spot next to him, "You sit here! We watch together!"

Lu Jingming lowered his eyes and saw the kid's sparkling gaze, hesitated a bit, then sat down by the bed.

Immediately, the sound of fabric rubbing came as a warm, soft little body leaned on his arm. The kid wore little yellow duck pajamas, amber eyes staring without blinking at the big screen in front, small hands hugging his arm, seemingly not noticing his gaze at all.

Lu Jingming's body stiffened instantly.

On the screen, Tiantian Youxi and her husband's argument continued.

"I've suffered so much over the years, done so many rounds of IVF, turned out like this, for what! Isn't it because your mom said she liked kids, wanted to have one with you! I love kids so much, raised Weiwei for eight years, how could I possibly hurt him!"

Tiantian Youxi's husband was tired of the argument, his voice weary, "You've been under too much pressure all these years, your mind's starting to break... When the kid's found, I'll take you to the hospital to get checked."

"You want... to send me to a mental hospital?" Tiantian Youxi couldn't believe someone she shared a bed with for over a decade would say that, "You think I'm crazy?"

Her husband sighed, "That's not what I meant, it's just... I need a kid."

[Surprised by the streamer's police call, and also surprised by this guy's logic—so if a person doesn't have kids in their life, they'll just die, right?]

[Don't say it like that, if both in a couple choose DINK (double income no kids) it's fine, but if one wants kids and the other doesn't, once their feelings fade, divorce is almost guaranteed.]

[No, if the woman doesn't want kids, there's another possible outcome: the man cheats. Don't ask how I know, there's a scene going on downstairs. The female boss of the clothing store downstairs can't have kids, her husband cheated with a female college student, and recently the college student gave birth. Now the man's whole family is begging the female boss to divorce to give the kid a home... Oh right, the clothing store is marital property, so she has to split it with the man. After years of struggle, she ends up supporting a cheating man raising a kid...]

[Once again, I see the chaos of the world in this livestream...]

[This is so disgusting! Ugh! Cunning, scheming men—why don't these scumbags just die already!]

[I want to join the fun! Is this in Shancheng? Give me the address, I want to watch!]

[Everyone who's love-brained should go see this as a group...]

[This has nothing to do with being love-brained; once the dopamine from love fades and daily life kills passion, marriage usually ends like this.]

[Don't be too pessimistic, there are exceptions. Love is still beautiful! My husband and I dated for nine years, now married with kids. We had a daughter two days ago, and my husband's been super busy taking care of us both!]

[Congrats to the one who dated nine years!]

[Nine years of dating... really lucky!]

Yu Yuan's eyes scanned the comments, spotting the viewer who said they dated nine years.

"'Peanut-flavored tangyuan tastes the best,' still here?"

[!!! What's up! What's up! Another lucky viewer got noticed by the streamer?!]

[This start reminds me of the 'Searching for My Daughter for Thirteen Years'!]

['Peanut-flavored tangyuan tastes the best'... it's the one who just said they dated nine years!]

The moment Yu Yuan spoke, "Peanut-flavored tangyuan tastes the best" replied immediately.

"Master Yu! I'm here, I'm here! Didn't expect to be called out by the master hahaha! My daughter really is my little lucky star!"

Yu Yuan lowered her eyes to look at the new message she had just received. On it was a deep red layer, tightly wrapped like a festering sore, spreading out in patches of dark crimson.
