Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 1589: Qian Yan, are you awake?

“My lord, I have already carefully investigated that couple before, they…”

“My lord, the couple is gone.”

Before he could finish his sentence, a familiar voice came from above.

“What?”

The men in black were dumbfounded, standing stiffly in place.

“Impossible, they must have gone out shopping, definitely.”

A good while later, he finally snapped out of it, still clamoring in disbelief.

“Indeed, they have escaped.”

The subordinate sent upstairs added a few more words.

“My lord, I asked the guests staying in the room next to the couple’s. They said the couple left carrying someone on a stretcher. According to those guests, the person on the stretcher appeared to be severely injured; it must be…

the person we are looking for.”

He glanced at the men in black and then at the leader, swallowing hard.

This statement was essentially saying that they had found their target but due to a lapse in attention, allowed them to escape right under their noses.

“No, impossible, it can’t be.”

The man in black was still shaking his head in denial, unbelieving that the person they let slip away was Xiang Qiyan.

It wasn’t until he received a hefty slap on the cheek that his muttering stopped, bringing him back to his senses as he kneeled before the leader.

“My lord, I did not know, I truly did not realize that the couple was who we were searching for.”

The higher-ups had not informed him that among those they were searching for was a woman, and a pregnant one at that. Had he known, would he have let them slip away?

At this moment, he was truly afraid. He knew all too well what fate awaited those who failed in their duties in the Feather Abyss Plane, where there was no abundance of merciful people.

“Idiot!”

The leader cursed at the man in black.

How could there be such a foolish subordinate, easily frightened and subdued by threats?

They had been so close to capturing their target just now, and now everything was gone, the quarry escaped as if a cooked duck had flown away. How was he going to explain this to the higher-ups?

“Chase them, you must find them! Once I have captured them, I will deal with you!”

He left a stern warning for the man in black and immediately turned to leave with his men, no longer wanting to deal with the fool.

“My lord…”

Watching the leader leave, the man in black could only stand up, trembling with fear, and follow to join the pursuit.

He had seen the couple; if only he had recognized them and captured them on time, he might have made amends for his mistake. Surely the lord wouldn’t punish him too harshly then?

“Wait for me, my lord, I will capture them and present them to you myself.”

Unfortunately, his words were just empty promises, unheard by anyone who believed he could accomplish anything.

They themselves wanted to catch the culprits and earn a great merit. It wasn’t this mistake-maker’s turn. Such an irredeemable fool deserved only death!

Lying on the back of the triceratops, the long-comatose Xiang Qiyan finally woke up.

“Yan, Yan, you’re awake? Can you tell who I am?” Zhan Beiye didn’t expect Xiang Qiyan to fully come to his senses, just waking up, even groggily, was good enough.

Over these past days, Xiang Qiyan’s body had been sustained solely by the Nutritional Elixir refined by An Jiuyue.
