Seeing that she was silent, Cheng Ya became even more convinced of her thoughts. She said, “It wasn’t Cheng Yang’s fault. He was still young back then and didn’t know… He didn’t know what would have happened.”
However, she was unwilling to speak about that matter. Xiao Ying had no choice but to say in disappointment, “Nothing happened between us. We had no choice. Sister, Cheng Yang is missing now. Do you know any clues?”
Cheng Ya was shocked. “I thought you guys were fighting and he hid himself.”
Xiao Ying smiled bitterly and shook her head.
Fortunately, two days later, the police provided a clue that Cheng Yang’s last appearance was in an abandoned building.
Xiao Ying could not wait any longer and went to that place herself.
They were in an abandoned and dilapidated building in the suburbs. No one knew why Cheng Yang was there.
Xiao Ying guessed that it must have something to do with the fake amulet. She just did not know what the punishment would be.
She walked carefully around the building. It was three stories high and was a semi-finished building. The nearest surveillance camera showed that Cheng Yang had entered and never left.
While Xiao Ying hoped to find Cheng Yang, she was worried that something had really happened to him.
She checked the entire building and found no one. Of course, there was no corpse either. She did not know if she was feeling happy or worried. If there was no one there, the clues would lead to a dead end again.
The police and Cheng Ya had also arrived. Xiao Ying shook her head at them and said, “Nothing.”
The police checked again and indeed found nothing.
They walked back, disappointed. They passed a corner and found a little teddy bear in the corner of the corridor.
Xiao Ying stopped in her tracks and picked up the little teddy bear. When she saw the red string on its tail, her breathing stopped for a moment. This was the plushie she had bought for Qiao Zihao.
The police officer suddenly said, “Who is it?”
Xiao Ying and the others quickly chased after him, but they could only see a small figure passing by.
He was the same height as Qiao Zihao.
Xiao Ying’s heart was suddenly in a mess. She quickly recalled all the memories she had of Qiao Zihao, his extremely smart brain, his strange illness, and how he seemed to be very familiar with her.
The more Xiao Ying thought about it, the stranger she felt. Initially, she had not thought that there was anything wrong with it, but now that she thought about it, Qiao Zihao seemed to understand her very well.
Questions started to rise in her heart. She could only be certain that there was something wrong with Qiao Zihao.
She immediately decided to return home. When she got home, she saw that Qiao Zihao was still sitting alone on the couch. The only difference was that he was not hugging the teddy bear.
Xiao Ying put the plushie in her hand behind her and asked, “Zihao, where’s your little teddy bear?”
Qiao Zihao looked at her calmly and said, “I lost it by accident.”
“Where did you leave it?” Xiao Ying pressed on.
Qiao Zihao said, “Didn’t you find it already?”
Xiao Ying’s grip on the bear tightened as she said, “You know where Cheng Yang is, right?”
Qiao Zihao remained silent. Xiao Ying clutched his shoulder anxiously and asked, “Where is Cheng Yang?”
The next second, Qiao Zihao fell unconscious.
Xiao Ying said angrily, “Don’t pretend to faint. Tell me, where is Cheng Yang?”
After calling out a few times, she realized that he had really fainted.
Xiao Ying sat on the floor, exhausted, and looked at Qiao Zihao.
After a while, she sent him to the hospital.
Outside the ward, Xiao Ying pulled at her hair in frustration. Recently, everything has been intertwined.
