Standing in the middle of the crowd in front of the cake shop was Pei Hanchuan.
Pei Hanchuan's face looked uglier than ever before. All his elegant and dashing nobleman temperament was gone. At this moment, he just looked like a scary man with a gloomy face and a sharp edge.
Because Pei Tianci is missing!
At first, Pei Hanchuan hated socializing, so he stayed in the lounge with Pei Tianci. The uncle and nephew ate and drank together, and they were very happy.
It’s a rare occasion for Pei Tianci to go out, and he can eat soft cake and drink sweet milk, and he is in a particularly good mood.
But a few of Pei Hanchuan's friends came to the cake shop. In fact, they were classmates who grew up together and were also in the circle of rich young men. When they heard that Pei Hanchuan was there, they insisted that Pei Hanchuan come out to entertain them. If Pei Hanchuan didn't come out, they would rush in.
This group of people are idle dandies. Pei Hanchuan is reluctant to let Pei Tianci meet these people, for fear of polluting the child's eyes.
So he had no choice but to walk out of the lounge and leave Pei Tianci alone for a while.
Although the cake shop is not as safe as the Pei family's, with servants coming and going inside and outside, it is still the Pei family's territory after all. As long as Pei Tianci stays in the lounge, nothing will go wrong.
Pei Hanchuan originally just wanted to go out for a quick walk and come back soon, but as soon as he showed up, he was stopped by that group of playboys, who insisted that he would not come out for dinner or attend the class reunion, and forced him to sit for a while longer.
This delay lasted half an hour.
When Pei Hanchuan finally got away and returned to the lounge, he saw that the door was open and the lounge was empty.
Pei Hanchuan initially thought that Pei Tianci had gone out out of curiosity and must still be in the cake shop, so he started looking for him in the cake shop first.
After a careful search, Pei Tianci was not found. At this moment, Pei Hanchuan realized that something big had happened!
Pei Tianci is missing!
Pei Tianci is not only the lifeblood of their Pei family, but also the lifeblood of Pei Mingzhu.
Pei Mingzhu received a call at the last minute and went back to Pei's house and temporarily left the cake shop. If Pei Mingzhu knew that Pei Tianci was missing, she would probably faint.
Find someone! We must find someone now!
Pei Hanchuan stopped the business of the cake shop and asked everyone to go out and look for the child. He even offered a reward to the customers in the shop on the spot. Anyone who could find the child or provide information about the child's whereabouts would be given money!
The young master of the Pei family is a man of his word and he will never break it.
"Search! Everyone, go and search! If Tianci cannot be found today, no one is allowed to stop. Even if we have to dig three feet deep into the ground, we must find Tianci!"
Pei Hanchuan concealed his depressed mood and shouted hurriedly to everyone.
He felt as if a stone was pressing on his chest. He was just as nervous as he was that day when the accident happened in the state-owned restaurant. His hands had already been clenched into fists.
He wished that what he was holding tightly at this moment was his own heart.
Pei Hanchuan felt solemn, guilty, and self-blaming.
Pei Tianci has been a poor child since he was born. His parents are divorced, he is frail and sickly, unable to go out, and he can't even eat a few more bites of his favorite food.
Recently, he had finally recovered a little under Chu Yue's "prescription" and could finally live like a normal child. How come something happened again?
Tianci, you must be safe!
Pei Hanchuan prayed silently in his heart as he hurriedly searched with everyone.
“God-given—God-given—”
"Master Pei - Master Pei - where are you?"
For a while, the streets were filled with shouts of people looking for children.
Seeing such a big commotion that attracted all the customers out of the grocery store, Chen Fengying quickly turned around to tell Chu Yue about the situation.
"Sister Chu, Sister Chu... Come out quickly. The Pei family's child is missing and they are looking for him all over the street. What do you think their child looks like? Should we help look for him together? Maybe..."
As they were talking, Chu Yue came out from the back room, accompanied by two children, one was Lu Yuanbao, and the other was - fair and clean, with tender cheeks, and dressed in neat little clothes.
Wait! This kid looks familiar!
Chen Fengying blinked hard and suddenly remembered the first time she accompanied Chu Yue to the city. At that time, she had a conflict with He Meijiao and also saw this child.
I think I was talking about this kid's name at the time...
"Pei... Pei... Pei's child!" Chen Fengying opened her mouth in surprise, her jaw almost dropping.
She didn't remember Pei Tianci's name, but she was sure that the child's surname was Pei.
It just so happens that the Pei family has lost a child, but Chu Yue has one more child. How could there be such a coincidence?
Could it be... Chu Yue is a human trafficker???
Chen Fengying's mind is full of wild imagination.
Chu Yue heard the noisy noise outside the house. Without time to explain anything to Chen Fengying, she walked out of the back room and strode to the front of the store.
Looking closely, Pei Hanchuan was hurriedly leaving with his men not far away.
Chu Yue immediately shouted in that direction, "Pei Hanchuan."
Pei Hanchuan frowned and turned around when he heard the voice.
The passers-by around looked at Chu Yue together, their eyes full of fear: How dare she to call Master Pei's name directly.
Chu Yue didn't pay any attention to the people around her and continued to shout, "Pei Hanchuan, the child you are looking for is here with me."
This time, the eyes of the people around became even more terrified.
Pei Hanchuan was across the street. He squinted his eyes and saw Chu Yue's face clearly. He was stunned by her words.
Without caring about the people coming and going on the road, he rushed over from the opposite side of the road.
Pei Hanchuan saw Chu Yue and asked anxiously, "What did you say? Tianci! Tianci is with you?"
"Yes, Tianci is here. Ask your people to come back and stop looking." Chu Yue said as she led Pei Hanchuan into the store.
Pei Hanchuan took two steps at a time and walked very quickly. In a blink of an eye, he entered the store and saw a small figure next to Lu Yuanbao.
"Tianci!" He rushed over and hugged Pei Tianci, his heart filled with joy and surprise at having regained what he had lost.
Pei Tianci was hugged so tightly that it felt a little painful, but he didn't struggle obediently. Instead, he raised his hand and patted Pei Hanchuan's shoulder.
"Uncle, I'm sorry. It's Tianci's fault. Tianci shouldn't go out so easily."
"It's not Tianci's fault, it's uncle's fault. Uncle shouldn't have left Tianci." Pei Hanchuan was still in shock. He gasped heavily while speaking and kept stroking Pei Tianci's body with his hands, fearing that something had happened to the child.
