Xī shí narrowed her eyes with tension and grabbed Mò chen's hand, "What did you say"

"Lín lín is dead," Mò chen muttered in a daze, his face as desolate as winter trees, devoid of vitality. Xī shí was stunned; she turned her head to look at Gù Bāo'bāo and Mù mǔ beside her, who had been searching for Lín lín nearby. She saw them but never expected to hear the news of Lín lín's death from Mò chen’s mouth. She froze, standing there dazedly as Gù Bāo'bāo walked slowly.

Each step she took seemed to make her stumble, as if she could barely stand. This feeling made her nearly suffocate; tears streamed down Guobaobao's pale face, which was blurry in her eyes. She had heard Mò chen say Lín lín was dead with her own ears.

Lín lín is dead.

Guobaobao felt as if a knife were stabbing her heart; tears flowed down the pallid face of her little girl, while Mu Mu, who rarely showed emotion, also shed sorrowful tears and sobbed with her hand over her mouth. Guobaobao's mind was filled solely with images of Lín lín.

From the moment she had watched her child grow from birth, she saw Lín lín as lively and active since childhood but lacking in sustained interest and focus, often disruptive and more mischievous than most children. He would break household items frequently, always bullying the quiet Sen Sen and Mu Mu; he loved to run around everywhere, drawn to any place of excitement. That was just how it had been.

Having hyperactivity disorder didn't affect much, only making him more active, doctors said patience should be practiced when dealing with children without stimulating or punishing them physically, but Guobaobao thought the doctor's concerns were unnecessary. She wasn’t a violent person; no matter what mistakes Lín lín made, she never hit nor scolded him. Instead, she always encouraged and supported him to learn things more diligently than he did, trying her best to bring smiles into his dull moods.

She devoted all her energy to the three children, and she loved them as much as she loved life itself.

Mom... Mom... Linlin's voice kept echoing in her mind. Mo Chen rushed over and hugged Gu Babu, who was staggering, repeatedly apologizing. Gu Babu murmured, "Where is my child I need to know where he is..."

Her Linlin...

Xiyi also vaguely recalled that when someone died, their body would be taken away. Xiyi had just checked all the bodies and didn't find Linlin's. Mo Chen, solemnly saying, "Go to the monitoring room."

The child's corpse was taken away.

Even though she wasn’t sure why, they took him away.

Xiyi hurried to the monitoring room, and Gu Babu wanted to go as well. She nearly stumbled when she pushed past Mo Chen. Not wanting Gu Babu to see such a gruesome scene, Mo Chen tried to stop her, but she pushed him away.

Concerned that there might be someone who had escaped their notice, Mo Chen didn't want to leave Mu Mu alone and rushed to take Mu Mu along as well. Mu Mu glared at Mo Chen with hatred; when Mo Chen reached out his hand towards Mu Mu, he avoided it and ran alongside Gu Babu. His cold gaze made the hair on the back of Mo Chen’s neck stand up. Mo Chen felt remorseful and regretful—it was indeed his mistake.

If he hadn't held onto Linlin and let him go to the garden alone, Linlin wouldn't have gotten into trouble, he wouldn't be dead, this was his fault. He had killed his own son and deserved to be hated by Linlin.

Linlin got into trouble on his way to the garden; this happened before the intense battle broke out. On his way to the garden, Linlin accidentally saw an enemy's weapon. That person disguised himself to enter the venue but unintentionally exposed his weapon due to being busy at the meeting place today. The wedding regulations strictly prohibited anyone other than outer security agents from carrying weapons on them. Linlin mistook it for a toy gun and wanted to play with it, so he was lured away by that person who took him into a storeroom to hide him. However, Linlin wouldn't follow instructions; upon sensing danger, the child bit him when he wasn’t paying attention and ran away. The man behind fired a shot at Linlin.

Shiyi watched as Linlin's small body lay in a pool of blood, her face pale, unable to believe what she saw. From her years of experience, she could tell that the bullet had pierced his heart. Because there was a camera facing Linlin, just before dying, the child’s eyes were wide open and round, seemingly confused about why he felt such pain and didn't understand that he was going to leave this world.

This scene was deeply etched in Gu Babu, Mo Chen's, and Shiyi's minds as well as in young Mu Mu's mind.

The cameras at various monitoring points of the Mo family castle recorded everything happening in every corner of the castle. There were hidden cameras that specialized in recording events within the castle without appearing on the surveillance screens. The castle was too large for the security room with its twenty-plus computers to keep up with just a few seconds delay while switching through camera feeds, so many passages' footage was captured but didn't show up on the monitors in the security room. This part of it was reserved for further review.

Today was no different from any other day; nothing had ever happened at the Mo family castle before and the security systems were all state-of-the-art. No one could have imagined such an accident would occur today, so the wedding surveillance footage was stored in special channels. Only fifty out of more than a hundred monitoring points within the castle appeared on screens in the security room. Normally, all cameras were turned off except for those at the back and front doors as well as in the study.

No one could have anticipated today's tragedy.

When Mo Chen heard from his enemy that Linlin was dead, he nearly broke down; unable to believe such an adorable child would be gone, he hurriedly searched through the castle but couldn't find him. He then went to the security room.

Ye Ningyuan had already left the monitoring room. The place was in a mess after a fight, and Mo Chen watched the surveillance footage of the garden. From the monitor, Lin Lin seemed to be chatting amicably with that enemy, so those watching from here couldn’t figure anything out. However, they couldn’t capture that person’s hidden firearm, making it impossible for Lin Lin to escape like this. He followed their route and reviewed the video footage until he saw this scene that drove him crazy.

That was his son who died right before his eyes, yet there was nothing he could do about it.

He could only watch helplessly without even being able to call out Lin Lin’s name. Mo Chen had never experienced such despair and pain in his life. Before Lin Lin could call him ‘Dad’, he lost him already.

After Lin Lin was shot, because there wasn’t enough space for hiding someone here, that person stuffed Lin Lin into a sack, threw him into a wedding company car, and took the body away without disturbing anyone.

"This can't be true... This isn't real..." Gu Baobao shook her head in pain and desperately tried to break free from Mo Chen’s embrace. Mo Chen held her tightly to prevent her from hurting herself: "I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it... That’s not Lin Lin… Give him back to me… Return the child to me…"

"I refuse to believe it..." Gu Baobao nearly went mad as even with Mo Chen holding onto her in such a forceful way, she still couldn’t be restrained. Xi Xi felt heartbroken at the sight and had tears welling up in her eyes. Gu Baobao lost consciousness while hysterical.

"Mom…"hen looked at her with a teasing smirk, “Baby, do you want to watch”This sentence is simply too wicked, and it fits with Gu Babu's name even more wickedly. Gu Babu decisively ran to her bedroom, close...
