In that moment, Qin Jiao felt as if she'd been plunged into icy water, a chill shooting from head to toe and freezing her to the core.
'How could Xiao Shi be missing? How did she go missing *again*?'
'She remembered that Xiao Shi's kidnapping wasn't supposed to happen yet. Could her rebirth have caused a butterfly effect, making this happen sooner?'
'She hadn't had time to let Xiao Shi grow up a little, become more sensible, and learn how to protect herself.'
When Qin Jiao remained silent for a long moment, Su Yun said frantically over the phone, "Xiao Jiao, are you still there? Hurry to the police station."
Qin Jiao took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. "Mom, where are you right now?" she said. "Tell me exactly how Xiao Shi went missing, every detail. I'm going to file a police report now."
