Chapter 315 Encountering Danger

"Ugh..."

"Help!" Yueyue suddenly mustered all her strength, broke free from her mouth, bit the man's shoulder hard, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Handsome Uncle, save Yueyue!"

You brat!

The bearded man and his companion's expressions changed drastically. Without looking back, they covered Yueyue's mouth and ran away.

At the same time, Li Tingxi was about to go to the monitoring room to check when he suddenly seemed to hear Yueyue's voice, and his expression changed!

"Yueyue?" When he turned around, he only saw the bustling traffic on the street, and the entrance of the shopping mall across the street was crowded with people.

Where can I find Yueyue?

Qin He called to say that the surveillance room had found some clues. Li Tingxi instinctively wanted to go back to look for them. The security guard and the receptionist felt they had made a mistake and hurriedly wanted to go with him to make amends.

Even just contributing a pair of eyes?

but--

As soon as Li Tingxi stepped into the company, he suddenly felt a sudden, inexplicable panic, as if something important had been hollowed out.

Thinking back to that cry filled with sobs and fear, it didn't seem like a hallucination at all!

"You two, come with me!" Li Tingxi suddenly turned and ran towards the shopping mall across the street, his eyes filled with anxiety. "Contact the mall immediately, check the surveillance footage, and mobilize all security guards to search for Yueyue in the surrounding area! She must be nearby..."

But if Yueyue were to encounter real danger, then every second would be crucial!

Li Tingxi regretted that he couldn't have been faster and discovered Yueyue sooner.

The unknown is the most terrifying!

Seeing how anxious the boss was, the security guard and the receptionist exchanged a glance and quickly went to do what they were told.

But I was shocked.

Who exactly is Yueyue?

Why is President Li so anxious about her affairs? It's no exaggeration to say that he treats her like his own daughter.

But the boss and Miss Karina have a child named...

Is it Lele?

They spoil her like a little princess!

Li Tingxi was unaware of the two employees' shock and had no time to care. He instinctively headed towards a more secluded corner of the mall to search.

There was no one there!

This area is under construction, so ordinary people don't usually come here.

Yueyue is a clever and quick-witted little girl, she probably wouldn't hide here, right?

The more Li Tingxi tried to comfort himself, the more flustered he became.

Suddenly, his gaze fixed—

That's... paint powder in the corner?

Li Tingxi quickly walked over and took a look. It was indeed pigment powder, and it looked fresh, so it must have been left there not long ago.

Otherwise, with such a large amount of dust at the construction site, this area would have been covered in dust long ago.

The texture of that paint seems to be something Yueyue likes!

It really was Yueyue calling him just now!

Li Tingxi was almost certain that something had happened to Yueyue. Unfortunately, the roads in the vicinity were complicated and busy, and it would be too slow for one person to search slowly. He could only run and shout while contacting the mall to retrieve the surveillance footage. However, he learned that the surveillance cameras on this side were broken and had not yet been repaired.

It seems that the person who took Yueyue away was a repeat offender, or someone very familiar with this area.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

Li Tingxi was so angry that he almost smashed his phone. Just then, he caught a glimpse of some pretty paint powder scattered along the corner of the wall.

Because there are so few of them and they are not continuous, it is very difficult to notice them unless you observe carefully.

It must have been a trace left by Yueyue on purpose!

Because of the construction, the ground in this area was covered with a thin layer of dust. Usually, not many people come here, but now there are two messy footprints that have covered a small area.

Those were a man's footprints!

Li Tingxi's eyes narrowed, and he felt like killing someone. He quickly followed the footprints, but after running for a while, the footprints disappeared. It was probably because the two people were afraid of being discovered, so they tried to erase the footprints.

This is a classic case of trying to hide something obvious!

Fortunately, there was Yueyue's pigment powder as a clue. Li Tingxi followed it all the way and stopped outside the wall of a subway station that was temporarily closed for construction and maintenance.

There's movement inside!

Separated by a wall, Yueyue had her mouth covered by the man, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked out at the sky, trembling with fear but unable to utter a sound.

When Yueyue heard footsteps approaching, she didn't see anyone, but she subconsciously guessed that the person outside must be the handsome uncle.

She recognized his footsteps!

"Waaah!" Yueyue struggled with all her might and suddenly broke free from the man's arms, her round body crashing into the makeshift construction door like a cannonball.

The speed was so fast that the two men didn't even have time to react.

"Handsome uncle, waaaaah, Yueyue is inside, there's... there's a bad guy!" Yueyue cried out towards the outside, but her body was too small, and she could only make the door shake slightly.

"Yueyue!" Li Tingxi's expression changed. Worried that kicking the door would hurt the child, he braced himself against the temporary wall with one hand and leaped up with all his might.

He even ignored the fact that his palms were cut and bleeding.

The two men were originally going to grab Yueyue, but they didn't expect this person to be so fierce, with those deep, dark eyes.

It looked like it was going to eat me alive, and I was so scared that I wet myself and turned to run away.

"Stop!" Li Tingxi was furious, wishing he could kill the two of them on the spot for daring to hurt such a lovely Yueyue!

"Waaah, Uncle." Yueyue cried and rushed over when she saw him jump down, hugging his leg tightly as if she had grasped a lifeline. "Uncle, Yueyue almost... almost got sold to the mountains where she would go hungry and be beaten."

She cried pitifully, her little nose was all red, and tears were hanging on her curled eyelashes. Large tears were falling down her face, and her whole body seemed to be soaked in tears. She spoke intermittently because she was scared, and she hiccuped while crying, which was heartbreaking.

Li Tingxi stared intently in the direction the two had left, but ultimately did not chase after them.

They can't escape in the end!

"Yueyue, don't be afraid, Uncle is here." He squatted down and lovingly hugged Yueyue into his arms, finally filling the empty space in his heart.

Li Tingxi coaxed Yueyue for a long time, using all his patience and love, before he finally stopped the little girl's tears. Suddenly, a loud gurgling sound rang out in the air.

"I'm hungry..." Yueyue suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stood up to run outside. "Oh no, I've missed dinner! If I go back late, I'll be discovered!"

If it weren't for her stomach giving her warning, she wouldn't have known it was so late!

"Yueyue, slow down. Don't panic." Li Tingxi quickly caught up, picked up the little girl, and patiently comforted her, "Don't worry, your brother has already called me, we'll contact them in a bit..."

"Brother...do you know I ran away?" Yueyue nervously fiddled with her fingers. "Yueyue will get scolded. Oh dear, I just wanted to give Uncle a gift, and then I would go home. Yueyue didn't do it on purpose."
