Seriously injured in a car accident, his wife confessed her love for his "white moonlight"

"That's settled then, I'm leaving." Xu Tian stood up.

Xiao Jing quickly stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

Xu Tian was taken aback. "You want to come with me?"

Xiao Jing nodded seriously. "Protecting citizens is also our responsibility. If you are in danger now, you can apply for protection."

"I don't need to thank you."

Xu Tian rolled his eyes. Her? She's not even as tall as his shoulder. Having her around would only cause him trouble; she'd be of no use whatsoever.

"This isn't a matter of whether you need it or not. Besides protecting you, I can also investigate what these people are trying to do."

Xiao Jing said righteously and sternly.

"Stop trying to change the subject. Making a contribution is your own business, it has nothing to do with me."

"In short, if you want to investigate a case, investigate a case; if you want to arrest someone, arrest someone. Don't follow me."

After saying that, Xu Tian strode out. As soon as he opened the car door, he saw Xiao Jing with her arms outstretched, blocking the front of the car.

"Don't even think about getting rid of me."

After a long stalemate, Xu Tian sighed helplessly, a hint of compromise flashing in his eyes.

Based on his current understanding of this little girl, once she's made up her mind about something, nothing can change it.

"Alright, alright, get in the car!"

Xu Tian looked at her impatiently.

Xiao Jing immediately smiled, opened the passenger door, and got in.

"I'm going to Zhao Jing's place now, are you coming with me?"

Xiao Jing nodded, "That's perfect, we're friends now."

Xu Tian smiled helplessly and started the car.

Just then, the person hiding in the shadows took out his phone and dialed a number.

"There's some trouble now; it seems the police are involved."

"Isn't this what you do best?"

The call was disconnected.

Xu Tian brought Xiao Jing to Zhao Jing's house.

It took several rings of the doorbell before Zhao's mother finally opened the door.

"Oh, it's you. Come in."

Zhao's mother gave them a brief greeting and then let them in.

Xiao Jing first looked around, then sat down on the sofa.

Xu Tian then inquired, "Where's Zhao Jing? Has Zhao Pengfei caused you any trouble while I was away?"

Zhao's mother smiled and said, "That won't happen for now. Jing'er is probably still asleep. I'll go to her room and call her."

Xu Tian nodded. He had come to talk to Zhao Jing about something else.

Judging from her response to Lin Wan'er's counterattack, Zhao Jing is simply born to be a live streamer. In the past, her status as the daughter of the Zhao family prevented her from making great strides in the live streaming industry, but things are different now.

Now that she has broken ties with the Zhao family, she can certainly make a name for herself in a new field.

Coincidentally, the Xu Group was about to establish a live-streaming e-commerce department, and Xu Tian's most desired person to be in charge was Zhao Jing.

Just as she was thinking this, Zhao's mother suddenly rushed out of the room in a panic.

"Jing'er isn't home. Did she go out?"

As she spoke, Zhao's mother took out her phone and called Zhao Jing.

I called four or five times in a row, but no one answered.

"What should we do? Could something bad have happened?"

Zhao's mother began to have wild thoughts. "The Zhao family has always looked down on Jing'er. Could they be making things difficult for her while she's out?"

"No way! I'm going to call Zhao Pengfei. If he dares to do anything to my daughter, I'll fight him to the death!"

Seeing this, Xu Tian could only offer a few words of comfort before watching Zhao's mother make a phone call.

After the call ended, Xu Tiancai quickly asked,

"How is it? Are you at the Zhao family's?"

Zhao's mother turned pale, her eyes filled with panic.

"Jing'er did not go to the Zhao family."

Xiao Jing spoke up at this moment, "Could he be lying?"

Zhao's mother shook her head. Although Zhao Pengfei was ruthless, she still understood him after so many years of getting to know him.

"Maybe she's been feeling really stifled these past few days, and she might have gone out with her friends. Don't worry, Auntie."

Although Xu Tian was trying to comfort her, his hand involuntarily reached for his phone to call Zhao Jing again.

Still no one answered.

In the past, Zhao Jing would never ignore his calls no matter what, so Xu Tian also felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, Xiao Jing stood up.

"Would it be convenient for me to take a look at her bedroom?"

Both Zhao's mother and Xu Tian cast a questioning glance at each other.

The two then exchanged a glance, both filled with doubt, yet tacitly refrained from interfering.

After pushing open the door, Xiao Jing looked around, her sharp eyes scanning every item, even under the bed and in the wardrobe, as if she were looking for something.

She walked to the bedside, gently pulled open the drawer, and carefully examined every item inside, not even missing a small note.

A subtle tension filled the air; time seemed to stand still, and every slight movement was exceptionally clear.

"What exactly are you looking for?" Xu Tian couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Jing looked at Zhao's mother and asked, "When was the last time you saw her?"

Zhao's mother thought about it carefully.

Fang Moxuan was also there last night. After the three of them had dinner together, Zhao Jing saw Fang Moxuan out. At that time, she had already gone back to her room to sleep because she had drunk some alcohol.

"So she hasn't come back since she saw Uncle Fang downstairs last night?" Xu Tian asked, puzzled.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhao's mother said, "She's back. Although I was inside, I heard her voice when she came back, and she even greeted me before going to bed."

“Call that Fang Moxuan,” Xiao Jing said, looking at Zhao’s mother.

Zhao's mother hurriedly dialed Fang Moxuan's cell phone. Fang Moxuan also said that Zhao Jing had taken her downstairs and then went straight upstairs, and did not see any suspicious people during that time.

He then anxiously asked what had happened, but Zhao's mother couldn't explain it clearly over the phone and hung up after giving him a perfunctory answer.

Xiao Jing frowned and then asked, "How much did you drink yesterday?"

"The three of us opened a bottle of red wine, and I'll just have about half a glass."

Xu Tian realized something was wrong. Given Zhao's mother's alcohol tolerance, she could easily drink a whole bottle. How could she have fallen asleep after only drinking half a glass?

“I find it strange too. I woke up at this hour, and I slept very soundly in the middle of the night. I can usually hear Jing’er making a little noise when she gets up at night, but I slept very soundly yesterday.”

"That's what Zhao's mother said."

Xu Tian's face gradually darkened; Zhao Jing might really have had an accident.

"What is this?"

Xiao Jing unexpectedly discovered a small clump of powder by the window. The powder was quite thick and had a faint, pleasant fragrance when brought closer.

After just one sniff, Xiao Jing felt dizzy and drowsy, but fortunately, Xu Tian next to her supported her.

"This must be what made you fall into a deep sleep."

Xiao Jing became serious after she regained her footing.

This kind of thing is rarely used in modern, economically developed societies anymore; I never expected to see it here.

Xu Tian's alarm bells rang loudly. If such a thing appeared, then Zhao Jing must have been kidnapped in her sleep!

Although there were no footprints by the window, this was only the second floor, and anyone with a little martial arts skill could get up here.
