At this moment, Shangguan Quan and Zhen Shu were trying to console themselves, thinking that their earlier boasting about the children must have gone too far, which caught the attention of the kidnappers. They believed the children had likely been kidnapped and that as long as someone contacted them later, they would pay any amount demanded without hesitation.
What a pity.
The banquet hall was sealed off because the jade pendant was stolen, the Shangguan Family's children were missing, and the evening event was forced to halt.
However, after hours of thorough investigation, checking every person inside the venue, they still couldn't locate the whereabouts of the jade pendant or the children.
Furthermore, there was no call from any supposed kidnappers demanding ransom.
It was already deep into the night.
Yet, Shangguan Quan and Zhen Shu felt no trace of sleepiness, and even held a slight fear of returning home.
