His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1560 Missing Persons

Before Iris could feed Little Matcha again, Jin Liwei patted his son's head and said, "Jin Lingyu, you need to apologize for throwing food on the floor. It's very disrespectful. You also need to control your temper and not lash out like that all the time."

The baby looked at his daddy, not quite understanding everything he said. Next, he glanced at his mommy who gave him an encouraging smile. Then he looked at the nannies cleaning the floor and somewhat understood what his daddy meant.

Little Matcha pouted but still babbled in a low tone, "Uh uh. Nuh uh uh." (Sorry. I won't throw food on the floor again.)

Although the adults didn't understand what he babbled, they liked to believe that Little Matcha had indeed apologized.

The nannies loved the twins dearly. They looked proud whenever the twins did something praiseworthy. They appreciated that their employers, Iris Long and Jin Liwei, never made them feel inferior. The nannies were treated like the twins' aunts, like family.

They not only enjoyed big salaries and amazing benefits compared to nannies who worked in other wealthy households, but they also felt their dignity as human beings was respected. In return for their employers' excellent treatment of them, they also treated the twins and the Jin family like their own.

"What a good baby! Knowing how to apologize already. Little Matcha is such a gentleman!"

"Little Mochi knows how to say sorry, too! Such a good baby! What a cute baby!"

"The young masters are the best babies in the world!"

"The young masters are the cutest in the world!"

The nannies kept throwing rainbow farts, causing Little Mochi to beam and giggle in delight. The baby loved all the attention.

"Yah yah yah!" He clapped his hands, trying to encourage the nannies to continue praising him and his twin brother.

Little Matcha also smiled a little but his reaction was a bit more subdued compared to his elder twin brother. When his mommy began feeding him again, he automatically opened his mouth and didn't pay attention to the nannies anymore. There was nothing more important right now than focusing on Mommy. Food always tasted better whenever his mommy was the one feeding him and his twin brother.

Breakfast finished more smoothly after the twins behaved well.

Jin Liwei nodded in approval.

As expected of his sons, they were smart and listened well. Hopefully, they would continue to remain receptive to his lectures after growing up.

Jin Liwei watched as the twins clamoured for their mother's attention.

Iris was a great mother. Her only fault was that she was too soft when it came to disciplining their children.

So it was up to him, the father, to be the disciplinarian. That had always been their parental role arrangement. He was more than willing to play the bad cop to his wife's good cop when it came to raising their children.

Before everyone could leave the dining area, Dom received a phone notification. His expression changed.

Iris and Jin Liwei didn't think much of it and continued chatting with each other while the nannies herded the twins, encouraging the babies to walk by themselves.

The husband and wife were discussing their plans for the day when Dom called for their attention.

"Boss!" Dom waved his phone, his expression looked worried.

"What's wrong?" Iris asked, finally noticing that something wasn't right with Dom. She took the phone from him.

It was a text message from Ketchup. It said:

"Gasp! Something super-duper to the highest level bad happened at Auntie Asha's art exhibition last night! The cute and mighty Ketchup has already gathered the basic details from the French police reports. Uncle Dom, please tell Mommy and Daddy! Meow~"

Iris' eyes widened. Then she frowned.

Jin Liwei leaned over and glanced at the message, frowning as well.

"Watch over the twins," he instructed the nannies. "The madam and I need to do something first."

The nannies obeyed. Fortunately, this time, the twins didn't make a fuss about being separated from their parents.

Little Mochi was still enjoying the nanny's praises of him and his brother. The nannies also indulged them, continuing to throw rainbow farts at the twins. Little Matcha looked uninterested while Little Mochi loved every single one of the praises.

The nannies distracted the twins and brought them to explore the chateau grounds and absorb some sunshine.

Iris, Jin Liwei, and Dom moved to the nearest seating room to speak with Ketchup.

Dom propped his phone on a table. A pure-white cat appeared on the screen and greeted them.

"Ketchup, tell us what happened," Jin Liwei said.

"Okey-dokey, Daddy! This morning, the staff at Auntie Asha's art exhibition got worried when the curator and a docent failed to report for work. They called the two men's phones but nobody answered. They also called the two men's emergency contacts but their family members said that the two never went home last night. Nobody was worried about the two men at first because most of the people thought that they had just gone out drinking last night and might have checked in at the inns to nurse their hangovers.

"Auntie Asha, however, didn't want to wait and immediately took the initiative to report the curator and docent as missing persons to the French police. Isn't Auntie Asha so kind? The cute and mighty Ketchup likes her so much! Auntie Asha is also super-duper to the highest level beautiful! But of course, Mommy is still the number one most beautiful in the whole wide world! Isn't Ketchup right, Daddy? Meow~"

"Then what happened next?" Iris asked, automatically filtering out Ketchup's praises about her and Ashandra. She needed Ketchup to focus on the most important thing which was to tell them what exactly happened last night.

Anything related to her friends, Iris would always feel concerned. She worried that this incident might negatively affect Ashandra Knightson's art exhibition.

Ketchup licked her paw as she continued, "The police were also reluctant to investigate right away because they didn't consider the two men as people belonging to what they consider vulnerable groups. They said that the two men were able-bodied adults who had all the mental capacities to make their own decisions. The police suggested that they wait 24 hours before launching a search. But the awesome Auntie Asha didn't want to wait!

"Auntie Asha contacted Great-Grandpa Lu to help her pressure the police. Great-Grandpa Lu asked a few of his old French friends for assistance and they delivered. The French police finally took the case seriously. As a result, Auntie Asha was right to be worried because the police soon found the two men in tragic states. Meow~"

Iris braced herself but still asked, "Tragic states?"

"The curator has been beaten almost to death. He's currently in the hospital ICU fighting for his life."

"So he's still alive?" Iris asked.

"Yes, Mommy! The curator is still alive. But poor guy! He's comatose! His family is crying over there in the hospital right now. Meow~"

"As long as he's still alive." Iris felt a little relieved.

The curator's condition sounded dire, but as long as the man was still alive, then there was hope. Iris had met the curator during the opening night of Ashandra Knightson's art exhibition. She wasn't close to the man, but she still felt sorry to hear about what happened to him.

"What about the docent?" Jin Liwei asked next. "What happened to him? Is he also in the hospital?"

"No, Daddy! The docent is dead! His body is being prepared for autopsy. Meow~"

Iris' heart sank. "He died?"

Dom gasped.

"Yes, Mommy! The poor guy suffered multiple injuries. He was already dead when the rescuers arrived. They attempted to revive him but failed. The cute and mighty Ketchup feels so bad! Auntie Asha also feels so bad. She offered to cover the funeral costs."

Iris stood up. "I need to call Ashandra. Ketchup, please call your Auntie Ashandra for me."

"Aye aye, Mommy! Calling Auntie Asha in 3…2…1! Meow~"

The phone started ringing. It rang for a long time but nobody answered.

"Auntie Asha didn't answer, Mommy! Wait, let the cute and mighty Ketchup check what she's doing right now. Meow~"

Ketchup didn't wait for her parents' instructions and made a decision on her own. Neither Iris nor Jin Liwei stopped her. They also wanted to know more details about this tragedy.

"Auntie Asha is currently at the police station. The police are taking her official statement as the one who formally reported the curator and the docent as missing persons. Should the cute and mighty Ketchup try calling Auntie Asha again? Meow~"

"No, Ketchup," Iris said. "Wait until your Auntie Ashandra leaves the police station."

About ten minutes later, Ketchup was able to successfully connect her parents to Ashandra Knightson.

"I heard about what happened, Ashandra," Iris said. "How are you?"

Ashandra sighed. "Did Sir Lu tell you?"

Iris neither confirmed nor denied it.

Ashandra continued with the assumption that it must have been Grandpa Lu who told Iris about what happened. "I asked Sir Lu for help. I only wanted to make sure that everyone working at my art exhibition is okay. I never expected that something like this would happen!"

"What did the police say?" Iris asked. "Did they find the suspects?"

"Not yet. But they think that this is a case of a hate crime."

Iris' brows furrowed. "Hate crime?"

"That's what they think. It seems that there's a group attacking people walking at night recently here in Paris, especially in the alleys. A few have already been arrested. They claimed that they did what they did because they hated the immigrants for taking away jobs and the rich for exploiting others to build their wealth."
