Dong Ruan had a landline at home and Yun Jian had a mobile phone, so she asked Yun Yi to stay home. If Qin Yirou was not missing but had gone out for a bit and came home, he would only have to call Yun Jian and she would not have to go on a search for their mother outside.

"Mn." Without waiting for Yun Yi's hum of agreement, Yun Jian had left the house.

​​

Yun Yi ran to Ya Dang's room on the second floor.

Ya Dang was currently extending his leg for Lan Su to wipe it clean with a dry towel. Although the latter was reluctant at first, she complied ultimately. Lan Su felt that Ya Dang had gotten injured all because of her, so she would put up with it even if Ya Dang was treating her like his maid.

Just as she had patted Ya Dang's feet dry and thought that the atmosphere turned a little awkward, Yun Yi had pattered to the door, startling Lan Su and Ya Dang.

"Is aunty back?" Lan Su asked, relating to Qin Yirou promptly, but Yun Yi shook his head right after her question.

"My mom's not home yet. If she comes back, please call Xiao Jian. I'm going out to search for her." With that, Yun Yi darted downstairs.

If something did happen to Qin Yirou, there was no way Yun Yi could sit around at home like nothing had happened.

Back when they were doing worse as a family, Yun Yi thought that there were no challenges they could not get through as long as he, his mother, and his younger sister stayed together. No matter how hard and tiring life was, how impoverished they were, nothing could compare to the bliss of them being healthy and well.

Hence, Yun Yi panicked when he found out that Qin Yirou had indeed gone to the market but he did not see her after going around the place just now. Even if it was aimlessly looking for his mother outside, it was better than sitting home and waiting for news because Yun Yi could not sit still!

…

Yun Jian texted Falcon Hall's Duan Lei right as she left the house.

Due to his fatal wound previously, Xu Zetian was currently on medical leave. He was pretty much enjoying his life at home now as his wife took care of him.

This resulted in the matters of Falcon Hall being passed temporarily to Duan Lei.

Once Yun Jian texted Duan Lei, he deployed all Falcon Hall members to look for Qin Yirou in the streets and alleys of Longmen City.

Yun Jian could very well utilize Gu Sha Mercenaries' intelligence department to look for her mother but the latter was not yet capable of actually single out one person—because Qin Yirou was not anyone famous in the international scene. She was only an average housewife in Longmen City.

It was impossible that someone from Gu Sha Mercenaries was following an ordinary civilian all the time. After all, given the vast population of the world, it was impossible that they were watching everyone.

Even when Qin Yirou was Yun Jian's mother, Yun Jian had never sent anyone to track her.

Under such circumstances, it was more practical that Yun Jian seek Falcon Hall for the search.

After Yun Jian informed Duan Lei to look for Qin Yirou, she headed to the market that her mother frequently visited. She had been there several times with Qin Yirou and had met the vendors that Qin Yirou usually bought her fresh produce and groceries from.

Those vendors had a great memory as they greeted Yun Jian once she went over.

"Huh? Didn't your mom just come to buy from us? Why are you here again, young lady?" One of the female vendors asked in surprise.
