Chapter 550 The Child Is Missing
When Chu Xiang realized this, her small hands gripped the table tightly; and she jumped off from her chair. If this weird man was going to grab her, then she was going to run away. From a glance, she could tell that this man wasn’t a good guy. Chu Xiang used her small legs to kick the table and shrunk her small body away.
The man’s gaze fell on Chu Xiang, and Chu Xiang hastily flinched away.
Not long after, she secretly lifted her head and saw that the man’s gaze was no longer on her but directed towards Rainy instead.
Very well. The man let out a blood-curdling smile before approaching Rainy with light steps. After confirming that this child really was the one in the photo, he ensured that nobody was around before covering Rainy’s mouth and carrying her away.
On the floor, there was a half-eaten ice-cream. However, the child was nowhere in sight.
Chu Xiang was scared to death. She covered her mouth, unable to believe that that man had just carried Xiao Meimei away. In a distance, Du Jingtang had already finished buying his things and headed over. She jumped down from the chair and ran over, hastily pulling Du Jingtang’s hand.
“Uncle, I want to buy toys.” She pointed to the toy shop at the side as she spoke. Du Jingtang was so pestered that he had no choice but to bring her to buy toys first. When he came back, he was dumbfounded. The things he bought for the children dropped onto the floor.
His little cutie was gone.
The ice-cream on the floor had already melted gradually from the sweet, aromatic cream to a puddle of pink water. After that, it was wiped away with a mop and had vanished without a trace.
Chu Lui had just picked up a pen from his table and was about to sign his documents when suddenly, he heard a really noisy ringtone. It was his personal handphone. Other than family, almost nobody else knew about this number. He placed down the pen in his hand and took out his handphone to check-it was Du Jingtang. He knew that this fella had skipped work to spend time with his daughter.
His eyes suddenly narrowed. Could something have happened to Rainy?
“Hello, what’s wrong?” Although his voice was composed, his black pupils—at that momentwere not completely tranquil. Evidently, things weren’t going well at Du Jingtang’s side, too.
He tossed his phone aside and hastily stood up. His daughter had gone missing. She had actually gone missing.
Without even taking his jacket, Chu Lui rushed out of his room. Nothing should ever happen to his daughter; otherwise, he wouldn’t know what to do with himself. His expression became extremely cold. If he found out who took his daughter away, he definitely wasn’t going to let him go. That person better not touch a single hair on his daughter’s head; otherwise, he would definitely bury their entire family alive.
Inside the Chu family mansion, it was mayhem.
“Chu Xiang, who took Rainy away?” Chu Lui pulled Chu Xiang over, and his black pupils stared straight into her eyes. Chu Xiang was so shocked that she took a step about to cry.
“Ah Lui, don’t scare her. Xiang Xiang is only five years old.”
Song Wan frantically pulled Chu Xiang over and hid her behind her back.
Then, she turned around and squatted herself down in front of Chu Xiang, also enduring the sense of anxiety that threatened to drive her crazy.
“Xiang Xiang, tell Granny, where’s Xiao Mei Mei? Who took Xiao Mei Mei away?”
Chu Xiang shrugged then shook her head. “Granny, Xiang Xiang really doesn’t know. Xiao Meimei went to look at flowers, and then Xiao Meimei disappeared.”
Song Wan tried different approaches to the question; however, in the end, Chu Xiang only repeated the same things: ‘Xiao Mei Mei went to look at flowers’ and ‘she didn’t know’.
The entire family was unbelievably anxious. However, just so coincidentally, they were not able to receive a single bit of useful information. Rainy was just a three-year-old child. Who in the world would want to take Rain away? If anything had happened to Rainy, they wouldn’t know what to do. The entire family was about to go crazy.
Chu Xiang hugged a doll and sat in a small corner. She didn’t speak, and she didn’t move as well. However, at that moment, something had discreetly arisen in her pupils, enveloping her originally clear eyes.
Du Jingtang hung his head low, looking extremely listless. His head was lowered the entire time, too afraid to look at his cousin’s completely black face. Rainy had mysteriously and absurdly disappeared. Although they had already filed a police report, she was just a three-year-old child. The Chu family ran a well-known business, and there was nobody who had ever dared to brazenly kidnap the Chu family’s child. However, just because they hadn’t done it, it didn’t mean that they weren’t going to.
Look, just like right now. They had lost Rainy, really lost her.
“It’ll be alright. Don’t be afraid, let’s wait a little longer. If what they want is money, then soon, somebody will call us.” Gao Yi firmly hugged Xia Ruoxin who was about to break down. Nobody could be as worried and anxious as her. Upon hearing that Rainy had gone missing, she almost fainted. In the next moment, she spent her time rushing tirelessly over to the Chu Family, hoping to gain some useful information. However, there was not a single bit of information here in the Chu family. From the looks of it, somebody had already been following them for a few days; that’s how they managed to have such good timing. In those few minutes that Du Jingtang was away, they had already taken Rainy.
Xia Ruoxin kept her eyes glued to the telephone. As long as there was any slight disturbance, her entire body would uncontrollably start to shake. Her Rainy was only three-years-old, and she was already missing for three hours. Was she tired? Was she hungry? Was she cold? What if she was scared? What if she was crying?
Chu Lui kept his face somber, his narrowed eyes watched over every intimate interaction between Gao Yi and Xia Ruoxin. However, he had no right to stop them or be jealous. More importantly, right now wasn’t the time for him to be thinking about these things. The most important thing right now was finding his daughter back.
It was just that no matter how long they waited or how much the police investigated, they still couldn’t get any clues. The only thing they could do was just to sit here and wait. This damned wait, this anxious wait.
A sudden ringtone resonated throughout the room, and everybody subconsciously took out their phones to check, only to realize that it wasn’t their phone ringing.
However, when Chu Lui took out his own handphone and saw the number, a sense of apprehension reflected in his eyes. This was his personal handphone number, and there was no way an outsider could know about it. Why was there an unknown number on his phone screen?
He picked up the phone, and an enigmatic voice spoke.
There was even the sound of a child’s tender voice.
“Bad guy, let go of me!” Although it was faint, Chu Lui’s pupils immediately constricted. He could tell that that was Rainy’s voice.
“Who are you? What are you planning to do with my daughter?” Chu Lui’s entire body tensed up, his voice cold and unfeeling. Xia Ruoxin hastily stood up her eyes, widely staring at Chu Lui. “Did he get information about Rainy? Was it a call from Rainy’s kidnapper?”
