“I’m here!” Li Shengxiao’s heart felt as if it had been brutally stabbed, his eyes a deep abyss, his voice low and forceful.
As if his words alone could turn any grave situation into a trivial matter!
Rong Yan’s frantic heart seemed to swallow a sedative, calming ever so slightly. She took a deep breath, yet her complexion remained ghastly pale and unsettling, “Mm.”
Li Shengxiao turned to give orders to the two men, “Gu Ming, get the hotel’s surveillance footage and have someone look for it.”
“Does my mom know?” He turned to look at the maid beside him, whose tears were on the verge of spilling in her urgency.
The maid shook her head, desperately holding back tears, both scared and panicked, “Madam doesn’t know yet; I just realized the young master was missing and went out to look for him myself. But I’ve looked everywhere and haven’t seen the young master at all. I was just about to go back and inform Madam when I ran into… ran into you, young master.”
Li Shengxiao’s thin lips pressed together as he instructed her, “Don’t tell my mom just yet!”
The maid looked at him uneasily, bowing her head, “Yes, young master.”
“All right, now tell me, when and where did you last see him? What was he doing before you noticed he was missing?”
With a bit more composure, the maid recalled as she spoke, “The young master doesn’t like crowded places, so I took him to play next door. Before he went missing, the young master was focused on playing with his phone. When the hotel manager asked me for a favor, I told the young master I would step out for a minute and asked him to stay in the lounge and not wander off; I’d be back quickly. I was gone for less than ten minutes, but when I returned, the young master… he was gone…”
As she spoke, her voice began to waver with tears again, her expression filled with both urgency and fear.
How could she not know that in just a moment’s time, he would vanish?
If she had known, she wouldn’t have agreed to help and would have stayed right by the young master’s side. His status was precious, the only heir of the Li Family, Madam’s lifeblood. If anything were to happen to him, her life would not be enough to make amends!
“I really just stepped out for a moment; I don’t know why the young master would disappear.”
She had searched the nearby area already; where could a child go?
“You’ve searched all around here?” Li Shengxiao frowned deeply, seeming also not to have expected Li Duidui to truly be gone.
The maid nodded heavily, “I’ve searched. After I found the young master missing, I kept looking around here, but I didn’t see him.”
Listening to the maid’s account, Rong Yan felt even more anxious and said to the tall man, “Li Shengxiao, how about we split up and search? Maybe Duidui is lost. I can’t wait for the surveillance, I want to start looking myself!”
He was the Baby she had carried for ten months and had finally given birth to; the thought of something happening to him was too terrifying to even contemplate. Her throat felt constricted as if someone was choking her, suffocating and unbearable. She wished she could go look for him right away! Li Shengxiao’s gaze settled on her, “I’ll come with you!”
Rong Yan shook her head, declining, “No, we should split up; we’ll have a better chance of finding him that way!”
“If I find him, I’ll call you. If you know anything, you call me!”
His concern for the child matched her own, and with a light press of his lips, Li Shengxiao agreed, “Okay.”
Unable to contain herself any longer, Rong Yan asked the maid for the location of the lounge and immediately started her search from there….
