Tao Tian had been carrying An'an the entire time. He tried his best to not reveal his entire face as he quickly walked away, trying his best to avoid this dangerous crowd that seemed to be monitoring them.

"Mommy, why are you blocking my face? I can't see the road." An'an was slightly dissatisfied with Tao Tian's actions as he loudly shouted out.

"Shh, Ann, you can't speak loudly." Tao Tian hurriedly reached out a hand to cover An An's mouth, not wanting to attract anyone's attention.

"Why?" Anthea questioned Mommy in dissatisfaction as she tried to free herself from the hood that covered his face.

"An An, you are going to get angry if you don't behave yourself." Seeing that his explanation had no effect, Tao Yao loudly threatened.

"Oh, alright then." An An pouted and lowered her head bitterly. She had a dissatisfied look on her face, but there was no place for her to complain.

The three of them walked faster and faster. Tao Tian and Auntie Zhong both wanted to hurry up and buy the ingredients and stock before returning home.

When they arrived at the entrance of the market, Tao Tian let out a sigh of relief. No matter what, there were so many people here. Even if they met some bad people, they wouldn't act rashly.

Along the way, the few vendors they were familiar with didn't recognize Tao Yao. This made Tao Tian feel a bit more at ease. However, he didn't dare to relax even a bit as he held An An's hand, afraid that something might happen.

"Buy some prawns, An An likes them." In front of a seafood stall, Auntie Zhong said to Tao Tian in a low voice. They didn't even want to talk too loudly, afraid that they would disturb any suspicious characters nearby.

"Mm. Alright." Tao Tian nodded in agreement.

"Boss, how much is this prawn?" Tao Tian stretched out his body and asked.

"This … ah … 28," the boss casually replied, not realizing that this was Tao Tian, who he frequented a lot.

"Oh, give me some." With that, Tao Yao pulled out a bag and began picking his way through it. He didn't even use the haggling he had always been good at. He just wanted it over quickly.

"Well, it's done. Please weigh it for me." Tao Tian handed the boss a bag full of prawns. His other hand did not forget to hold An Xin's hand tightly.

Before leaving the house, Tao Tian and Auntie Zhong had agreed that no matter what, there had to be someone who would hold An Xin's hand …

'Clang! 'The sound of coins dropping was heard. "Miss, your money has fallen." A boy beside her said to her as he nudged Tao Tian.

"Oh? "Is that so?" Tao Tian subconsciously looked down to the place where the sound had come from.

"Oh? No. Not mine. " After scanning the floor and confirming that the coin wasn't hers, she raised her head and subconsciously looked in the direction of the man who spoke to her. "Eh, where is he?" As Tao Tian spoke, he discovered that there was no one around. The man from just now had already disappeared. "How strange." Tao Tian muttered as he subconsciously held An An's hand.

"An An?" Tao Tian extended a hand, but it was only empty air. This startled her so much that she hurriedly lowered her head to look, but it was all in vain. It was unknown when An'an had disappeared without a trace.

"Auntie Zhong, where's An An?" Tao Tian loudly roared.

"An An?" "Isn't An'an right here …" Auntie Zhong also lowered her head to look in the direction that An Xin had just been standing. "An Xin!" "Where did An An!?" Auntie Zhong also had a look of disbelief on her face.

"Crap, I fell for his trap." Tao Tian loudly shouted, "It must be that man from before!" With that, Tao Tian lifted his leg and ran in the direction where the man had just been standing. As he ran, he yelled out An'an's name.

"Yao Yao, wait for me." Auntie Zhong was also burning with anxiety. She yelled out Tao Tian's name as she chased after him.

"Hey, miss, your prawns …" The boss of the seafood stall looked at the scene in a daze. He shouted out loud at the two's backs, but it was all in vain. The two of them had already disappeared into the crowd …

"An An, come out quickly. Stop playing." Tao Tian's hands and feet were cold and cold. His forehead was constantly sweating, but his feet continued to blow like the wind, not stopping for a moment. "An An An, be good and stop teasing Mommy. Hurry and come back mommy will cook some delicious food for you." Tao Tian's voice became more and more shaky as she continuously shouted out in the crowded market. In her heart, she still held onto a trace of fantasy, imagining that An An was just playing around playing hide and seek with her. That terrifying thought, she had been trying hard not to think about it, not to face it …

"Yao Yao, don't worry. Perhaps An An just likes to play around for the time being." Seeing Tao Tian's almost crazy state, Auntie Zhong was always anxious. But now she could only force herself to calm down and keep comforting Tao Tian.

"I know, An An just likes to play. He hasn't come out for a long time, he's just playing with Mommy …" Tao Tian's voice was already beginning to choke. This sudden turn of events nearly caused her heart to drop to the bottom of the valley.

"An An, stop playing. Hurry up and come out. If you still don't come out, Mommy will be angry!" Tao Tian knew that the person who captured An An must be nearby at the moment. The reason he did so was to lure her out. Even if his current actions were extremely dangerous, she couldn't care less!

"An'an! An'an! "Peace …" Tao Tian began to hysterically shout. Auntie Zhong didn't know what to do behind her. She could only follow her, afraid that she too would be in danger.

"An An, come out quickly!" Tao Tian screamed and shrieked the whole way she ran, but she still didn't want to face the fact that An An had already lost most of her strength.

"An'an! An'an! No matter who took Anthea, your goal was only me! He's still a child, he's innocent! " Tao Tian had already given up all hope. She had already run to the other end of the market. There were very few people here and she did not see the shadow of her treasure.

In an instant, she felt all the power in her body start to dissipate. Her body started to sink uncontrollably, slowly …

"Plop." Tao Tian suddenly kneeled in the middle and loudly shouted, "Your goal is only me. You want me to exchange places with An'an? You want to catch me? You want to catch me?" The passersby all cast sidelong glances, wanting to clearly see what was going on with this crazy woman.

"Yao Yao, calm down. This isn't the way out. I'll call Aran right now." Seeing that Tao Tian's behavior had gone out of control, Auntie Zhong quickly helped Tao Tian up. Her current situation was extremely dangerous.

"I have no way to calm down. My An'an is gone, gone!" She did not know what she was doing, but she was already in a complete mess. She really did not know what she was doing to save An Xi, she did not have the strength to stand up, if not for An An, perhaps she would have already fallen down, but now even the last hope in her life had disappeared. She hated herself so much, hated herself for being so powerless, for not being able to protect her most treasured treasure …

The cars on the road screamed past one by one and they carefully avoided Tao Tian. As Tao Tian looked at the passing cars, he suddenly wanted to end his life under these rolling wheels. If she didn't have peace, her life would be dark …

"Yao Yao, don't be like this. Not only will you not be able to save your own life, even your own life will not be saved, foolish child." Auntie Zhong was someone who had experienced a lot and could be considered to have calm as she spoke to Tao Tian. As she spoke, she picked up the phone and dialed Tao Ran's number.

"Ah Ran, it's me, Auntie Zhong. An An has disappeared!" Auntie Zhong said anxiously to Tao Ran on the other side of the phone. Tao Ran had almost become their only hope.

"What!" Tao Ran's entire body shuddered, and his hand holding the phone was almost unsteady. "An'an is gone!" "How could it be like this? Could it be that I ran out to play and play secretly?" For a moment, Tao Ran couldn't believe that this really happened. He kept thinking about all kinds of good possibilities.

"It can't be, it happened so suddenly. We were probably targeted within half a minute after coming here. The people from the Tao family were really powerful. We had already disguised ourselves, but were still found out." Auntie Zhong said ruthlessly. Thinking that An An's cute appearance had fallen into her demonic palms, she wished that she could tear every member of the Tao family into pieces!

"How could this be?" Tao Ran still didn't want to face the reality in front of him.

"It's all my fault! Was it just a moment of carelessness? " As she thought about the events that had occurred in the past few days, she couldn't help but wish that she could cut herself into a thousand pieces.

"Yao Yao, how can I blame you!? It's all because of their cunning and scheming nature! " Auntie Zhong held on to Tao Tian's shoulder, trying her best to suppress the grief and indignation in her heart, wanting to calm down Tao Tian's emotions.

"Auntie, where are you now?" Hearing Tao Tian's desperate howl, Tao Ran's heart was burning with anxiety. He loudly asked over the phone.

"At the south exit of the market." Auntie Zhong looked up and replied.

"You take care of Yao Yao first, I'll immediately rush back. Don't worry, since we haven't been caught by them, we'll temporarily be safe." Tao Ran ordered himself to calm down immediately as he kept thinking about the possible future direction of the incident.

"Yes, good, you have to be careful too." Auntie Zhong nodded her head in agreement. She hung up the phone and used all her strength to help the muddy Tao Tian up. She wanted to take her out of this troublesome place.

"No! I'm not leaving! I'm not leaving! I'm waiting for An Xin to come back!" Tao Tian's sorrowful cries shook the entire S City.

"Yao Yao, be good. If you are in any danger, then who will come and save An An? Listen to your aunty. Big brother will be back soon. We will think of a way together to save An An." Auntie Zhong consoled him. One more minute and Tao Tian would be in danger. At that time, forget about An An, even he would be in danger. How could he save An Xin?

"Yao Yao, the more you act like this, the more you need to stay alert. Don't worry, before they catch you and Aran, they won't do anything to An An." The people from the Tao family were all cunning and did not follow common sense. However, right now, she could only choose to believe her own judgement. An'an was her biological grandson, so she naturally didn't want anything to happen to him.

Tao Tian turned back to look at Auntie Zhong. This was a look Auntie Zhong would never forget. It was a look of despair and desolation. There was even a trace of malice in it. Presumably, it was a reaction after despair had passed.
