“Duidui, where are you?”
“Duidui, can you hear mommy calling you?”
As she searched for the child, she pulled out her cellphone to make a call.
The maid had said that Little Baby was playing with his cellphone before disappearing, so by all means, the cellphone should be with him.
“Dudu… Sorry, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later!” a sweet robotic female voice answered.
“Fuck!” Rong Yan cursed in desperation, attempting again.
“Sorry, the user you have dialed…”
Her face turned pale, and she almost bit her lip bloody.
Just like the maid said, no one could be found anywhere!
But given Little Baby’s personality, he wouldn’t normally run off. So where could he have gone?!
Rong Yan’s breathing grew heavy; her heart felt as though it was being crushed under a heavy stone. With each breath she took, the stone seemed to press down an inch further.
Just as she felt helpless, not knowing what to do, she suddenly remembered she had set up a location-sharing feature on Little Baby’s account. Grasping for straws like a person drowning, Rong Yan quickly accessed WeChat and opened Li Duidui’s shared location.
A red dot appeared on the map on her phone’s location icon.
Following the map icon, Rong Yan broke into a run outside—
She ran out of the corridor and into the back garden but still saw no one.
She was both anxious and angry, close to spouting blisters from her mouth. Suddenly, Rong Yan, with her sharp eyes, spotted a small bear stuffed toy, no bigger than a palm, floating on the water’s surface.
Rong Yan’s eyes split with terror!
That was the little toy she had bought for Little Baby, one that Duidui almost always carried with him.
Rong Yan had never run so fast in her life, the wind roaring past her ears unnoticed. She ran headlong towards the lake, even bumping into a hotel employee on the way. Amidst the employee’s exclamations, she heard nothing but the sound of a ‘splash’ as she leaped into the lake!
The employee watched in shock as the person ran past and jumped into the lake like a life didn’t matter. Panicked, she called out, “Someone, come quick, there’s a person who’s jumped into the lake!”
No sooner had she finished speaking than a person, like a tornado, rushed forward, grabbed her by the collar, “What did you just say?”
The employee, startled, opened her mouth so wide she couldn’t close it again,
“I just saw someone… jump into the lake.” “A woman, wearing a white T-shirt, she just jumped in…”
This man, who is he? So handsome.
Li Shengxiao’s eagle-like eyes turned bloodshot as he let go of her and dashed toward the lake—
The icy water engulfed her, and only then did Rong Yan realize how cold it was. Clenching her teeth, she swam toward the rippling surface. Then, with a sudden dive, she stretched out her hand and grabbed the arm of the small figure sinking down, desperately pulling the person upward…
It might have been easy to hold a five-year-old child above the water, but it was much more difficult to swim to shore while holding one underwater. Rong Yan had no idea how much water she swallowed in the process. As her strength was nearly depleted, a powerful hand grabbed her, pulling her towards the shore.
Splash… Rong Yan emerged from the water, coughing violently as she lay on the ground.
“Are you alright?” The proud man, equally soaked, helped her by patting her back.
Rong Yan coughed up the water that was choked in her throat, and her lungs finally got some relief. Disregarding herself, she said urgently, “Li Shengxiao, Duidui….”
