Chapter 1335 - 842: Waiting in the Rain Curtain

Others may not know how many people were mobilized today, but the brother-in-law does.

He not only knows the manpower he deployed himself, but also how much force the Sir exerted.

However, twelve hours have passed already, yet there hasn't been any progress, which makes his tone become somewhat hollow.

Perhaps he realized this too, so as soon as he finished, he immediately added, "She definitely can't escape from our grasp, definitely."

Du Heng displayed an expression that was neither crying nor laughing, then silently sat on the sofa.

...

Waiting is painful, having no news at all is the most distressing.

During the quiet wait, Du Heng continuously searched online about what to do after a child goes missing.

The appearance of informational articles like '24-hour golden search period' and 'Golden 40 Minutes Rule' made Du Heng excited one moment, tense the next.

The more he read the online content, the more his nerves tightened, which pushed him increasingly towards the brink of collapse.

In contrast, after the initial shock and venting, Wu Shengnan calmed down instead, and began to constantly comfort Du Heng.

Even in the following days, whenever there was any news, she would join the search team herself.

But the result was far from ideal.

Three days, four days... until the fifth day, there was not a single bit of news, not even news of someone seeing people resembling Wu Zhou and Xuanxuan.

Wu Zhou, a grown man, with a two-month-old baby, seemed to have vanished.

Despite the brother-in-law and father-in-law expanding the search to the surrounding areas of Jinzhou, and even deep into the mountains, there was absolutely no news, not a trace.

Where are they?

Du Heng couldn't bear it any longer now.

Wu Buwei sat beside Du Heng, looking at Du Heng's eyes, now completely bloodshot, and his inner worry reached its peak, "Brother, go get some sleep, if you go on like this, you won't be able to hold on."

Du Heng took a deep breath and said in a slightly hollow tone, "No, I can hold on."

"But... but..."

"There's no 'but', Xuanxuan is only two months old, her immunity is still very low and she could easily fall sick.

Besides, in this hot weather, Wu Zhouzhou might be hiding somewhere unsanitary, without proper nutrition for Xuanxuan, which would be very dangerous for her."

It seemed like Du Heng was answering Wu Buwei, yet also encouraging himself, "I can't rest, if I sleep now, I absolutely won't wake up when Xuanxuan needs treatment after being found."

Wu Buwei looked at the seemingly mumbling Du Heng and felt that Du Heng had become obsessed; his concern for Du Heng's state grew.

Seeing the phone in Du Heng's hand about to be crushed, Wu Buwei understood that it was impossible to persuade Du Heng right now.

For now, they could only pin their hopes on the police still searching outside, on Wu Shengnan, who was still trying.

As soon as Wu Shengnan crossed his mind, Du Heng's phone suddenly rang, and seeing the name on the screen, it was indeed Wu Shengnan.

Du Heng seemed suddenly startled awake, hurriedly and quickly answered the call, "Wife, have you found them?"

Immediately, Wu Shengnan's voice came through the phone, carrying fatigue and a slight hint of gloom, "No news yet.

Husband, I'm sorry."

Du Heng was momentarily stunned, but then tried hard to lighten his tone, "Don't say that, it's not your fault, they're targeting me, it's revenge against me.

You find a place now, have a good sleep, replenish your energy.

When Xuanxuan is found, our daughter will definitely want to see a radiant Mother, and our daughter will surely need you to care for her.

If... if we don't find our daughter, we'll still depend on you to keep searching."

"Husband... my brother said if there's still no news today, the people searching for Xuanxuan will be withdrawn. Later... later... it'll be up to us to find her ourselves."

Wu Shengnan hesitated for a moment, then revealed news that left Du Heng limp all over.

Mobilizing so many people they've yet found nothing, relying solely on their personal strength to find someone is even more impossible.

Du Heng became instantly anxious, "This can't be, we haven't found them yet.

Xuanxuan is your and my daughter, also your brother-in-law's niece, he can't just ignore it, can he?

No, ask your father, what does he say? Is he also giving up?"

Listening to Du Heng's urgent tone, Wu Shengnan hurriedly and softly persuaded, "Husband, both Father and Brother certainly don't want to, but the police have their own duties to do, they can't serve only our family.

Moreover, it's been six days now, it's already long enough.

But don't worry either, the grassroots police will withdraw, but Father and Brother won't leave it alone, they'll definitely find other means to find Xuanxuan."

After several days of fermentation, there was a major reversal between Du Heng and Wu Shengnan.

At first, Du Heng was relatively calm and composed; but now, he gradually became the most worried, the most on the edge of collapse, the most anxious person.
