The Little Childhood Friend in a Female-Dominated World (ChatGPT Translated)

23. Savior

Lu Feng saw that there were too many people going to see the lantern tower, so she reached back with her hand, afraid that Xu Mu would be squeezed by people.

The sleeve that was originally held by someone has already been loosened. Lu Feng thought that Xu Mu was hungry, so she held the lantern in one hand and asked the guard behind her for food. Unable to hold her hand, she didn't pay attention for a while and called out to him, "Mi Jian?"

"Mi Jian!" The soft voice suddenly raised after not seeing anyone when she turned around.

Lu Feng saw the two guards behind her struggling to keep up with her pace while holding something in their arms, but Xu Mu was nowhere to be seen. Her mind went blank instantly, a chilling sensation ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, freezing her fingertips and rendering her unable to move. Taking a deep breath, she slightly raised her foot, her face darkening, and grabbed the collar of one of the guards, asking sternly, "Where is the young master?"

The two guards were also stunned, and then they realized that Xu Mu, who should have been following behind Lu Feng, was missing. Their faces turned pale, "We, we thought the young master was walking in front of you. . ."

Lu Feng cursed under her breath, shook off the guard's collar, and angrily said, "Go find him for me."

Lu Feng's voice, full of anger, was heard by Xu Yu. She was taken aback and reached out to grab the person who was twisting and squeezing forward, her face showing a worried expression, "Mi Jian seems to have been lost in the crowd."

"What!" Several people were shocked and stopped pushing forward. Instead, they crowded around Lu Feng and asked, "When did he get separated in the crowd?"

Lu Feng was extremely annoyed, but she suppressed her anger and replied, "I didn't pay much attention. I thought he was always behind me. Who knew that when I turned around, he was gone."

The surroundings were filled with lanterns, illuminating the entire Imperial Street, making it as bright as day. Several people could clearly see Lu Feng's unpleasant expression, so they stopped asking and started helping to search.

Lu Feng called one of the guards and calmly instructed, "Go back to the Lu Mansion and mobilize the mansion's soldiers to search for him. Tell them that the young master is missing." She clenched her fist, feeling the pain from the pressure on her soft palm, which made her thoughts clearer. "Take my waist token and mobilize my mother's personal guards. Let them quickly go to several city gates and guard them. Don't let any suspicious person leave the capital!"

"Yes!" After the guard ran back, Lu Feng finally released her slightly numb fingers and turned around to look for someone.

Xu Mu has always been obedient and wouldn't get lost without reason. If he was unfortunately separated in the crowd, it would be enough to mobilize the mansion's soldiers to search for him. But if he was abducted, she could only have the guards stationed at the city gates first, and then seal the city and search for him when her mother returned.

Several people searched along the way, shouting "Mi Jian" at the top of their lungs.

Passersby couldn't help but sneer when they heard it. It was just a lost bag of Mi Jian, was it necessary to make such a fuss? Lack of dignity.

The person next to the stall selling Mi Jian and preserved fruits heard the call and stuck their head out, shouting, "I have Mi Jian here."

Xu Yu's ears were sharp, but she couldn't hear very clearly. She only heard the mention of Mi Jian, so she hurried over and asked, "Where is the Mi Jian?"

The boss pointed at various preserved fruits and candied fruits with a smile, "Look, aren't these all? How many pounds do you want to weigh? On this Lantern Festival, I'll give you a discount, how about that?"
