Chapter 757: Chapter 757: Immediately Go Find Someone
Little Baby went missing, and Rong Yan couldn’t bother with her well-groomed hand. She sprang up from the chair and asked him, “What happened?”
Cui Jiangjing tapped his head, his face expressing a headache, and said anxiously, “I don’t know. Mrs. Lin just called to say that Duidui is missing. She tried calling you, but couldn’t get through, so she called me to ask if I was with you.”
“The old house is already in total chaos; Mrs. Lin is sending people everywhere to look for him, but there’s still no news of the little guy.” Lin Zhiya was almost crying over the phone, and he instinctively looked towards Rong Yan, raising his eyelids to ask, “Rong Yan, do you know where the little guy might have gone?”
Rong Yan’s mind was a blank, even more frantic and flustered, “My phone was snatched by the thugs Rong Weiwei brought over, I don’t even know where it was thrown. I have no idea where the little guy could be. Everything was fine, how could he suddenly disappear? Did you thoroughly ask Mrs. Lin what happened?”
“Mrs. Lin said that the housemaids suddenly noticed that the little guy was gone, along with his school bag, phone, and tablet. She tried calling the little guy, but the phone was unreachable.”
Her Little Baby was as sensible as they come, never causing her any trouble.
How could he just vanish all of a sudden this time?
Rong Yan’s heart was racing, and for some reason, she thought of Sir Lin whom she had seen last time. Could it be…
As this thought barely surfaced, she caught a glimpse of the man beside her and dismissed the idea.
Sir Lin couldn’t possibly take Little Baby away without going through Mrs. Lin and Li Shengxiao. If he was going to do it, he would have done so already; there was no need to wait until now.
Then how could Little Baby simply go missing ?
Rong Yan could only think of the possibility that the little guy had sneaked out on his own.
Her head in a whirl, she decided on the spot to put on her coat and said to the two people in the hospital room, “We split up to search. I’ll go see if he went someplace he’s likely to be, and you guys try to track down Duidui using the surveillance cameras. Whichever of us finds him first, we’ll inform the other!”
Li Shengxiao suddenly grasped her arm, his lips thinly parting as he said, “I’ll go with you!”
Rong Yan pulled away from his grasp, frowning, “No. You have a broader network of contacts, and you are better at finding people than I am. You stay here and look together with Mr. Cui; I’m just going to try my luck. It’s mainly up to you guys.”
She wasn’t certain where the little guy had run off to, and she wasn’t being modest; indeed, if they were to find Duidui, it truly depended on Cui Jiangjing and Li Shengxiao.
Otherwise, her traditional method of searching like finding a needle in a haystack would take an unknown amount of time to find someone.
Little Baby was clever, but he was only five years old. A five-year-old child being alone outside for too long was frightening enough, not to mention the possibility of being abducted by traffickers.
Rong Yan was adamant, and Li Shengxiao, knowing the little guy’s importance to her, pursed his lips and let go of her, “I will have Assistant Gu accompany you.”
Rong Yan couldn’t wait and immediately refused, “It will take at least half an hour for Assistant Gu to get here; I can’t wait that long. I’ll go look for him myself first, and if I can’t find him, I’ll contact Assistant Gu.”
Seeing her urgency, Li Shengxiao stepped forward to block her path and handed over his phone, “Call me on this if there’s an issue. You can request help from anyone in the contacts of this phone; they will follow your orders when they see the caller ID.”
Rong Yan took the phone he offered her, its body still faintly warm—warm from this man’s body heat.
She quickly raised her head, her expression slightly relaxing as she pursed her lips and said, “Okay.”
