"A four-year-old boy has gone missing. Based on the situation, he’s either been snatched by human traffickers or kidnapped. The whole city is under lockdown, and we’re searching, but I’m not sure if we’ll be able to find him. It’s likely the work of some outsiders who have slipped into the city recently. It’s not safe. I have to go deal with this—you need to move back to the quadrangle courtyard. It’s not safe for you to be alone."
Quan Ruifeng had to go to work, but he was uneasy about Xia Xian; he feared those people might not be targeting children alone. Whether it was trafficking women and children or kidnapping someone for ransom, Quan Ruifeng didn't want Xia Xian to have even the slightest chance of experiencing it. After all, even if it were a kidnapping for ransom, some kidnappers didn't follow the rules—they might take the money and kill the hostage anyway.
Xia Xian understood his concern. She efficiently packed her things to go stay with Gao Shuang and the others.
