"The surveillance here is inadequate, making the search quite complicated. I've already contacted the city's Public Security Bureau chief, but it will take him some time to mobilize personnel..."
As Jiang Che and Shen Du listened, their expressions grew increasingly solemn, and their steps quickened. The employees in the lobby downstairs looked puzzled by their hurried pace, then whispered among themselves as they watched the two get into their car.
Jiang Che had just told Ye Zhao's taxi driver to drive slowly, but after getting in the car, he couldn't help but urge, "Drive faster."
Seeing Mu Xu get into the car behind him, he hurriedly said, "Arrange a flight to B City as soon as possible."
"Yes, Mr. Jiang."
At this moment, Chen Du was on the phone with Yang Xu. His voice was tense, and his face was more serious than ever before.
"Put down your work and come to the airport with me to City B right now."
Upon hearing the words "B City," Yang Xu vaguely guessed what had happened. Without the slightest hesitation, he tossed his work to Lin Yi, turned around, and left, leaving Lin Yi and Xie Yao staring at each other, completely bewildered.
Lin Yi frowned and said, "Didn't you say that President Shen went to Jiang's? What happened? He seems to be in a hurry."
While busy with her work, Xie Yao replied, "It's probably something urgent."
Lin Yi frowned and continued, "I have a feeling that something's going on with them..."
Xie Yao smiled and said, "It's nothing more than work-related matters, what could it be?"
She was just saying it casually, but Lin Yi shook his head and said, "No, I'm sure it's not about work."
"Isn't that right? What could it be?" Xie Yao was only curious for a moment before continuing with her work.
Lin Yi felt increasingly uneasy the more he thought about it. What could be so mysterious about this?
Yang Xu had no time to care what Lin Yi was thinking. As soon as he got in the car, he told the driver to drive faster, afraid that he would miss Chen Du and the others. Fortunately, he ran into Chen Du and the others as soon as he arrived at the airport.
After being comforted by Jiang Che, Ye Zhao's emotions had stabilized somewhat. However, when she arrived at the police station and saw the somber expressions on Yan Sen and Yan Xu's faces, she couldn't help but feel her legs go weak and she almost knelt on the ground.
Yang Meijia stepped forward to help her steady, saying, "Zhaozhao, don't worry, Yuanbao will be alright. That child is so smart, he'll be fine..."
But as she spoke, she almost couldn't hold back her own emotions.
Yan Xi, standing to the side, cried out to Ye Zhao, "Zhao Zhao, it's my fault, it's my fault, just kill me..."
Ye Zhao was no longer listening to what she was saying. He looked at the policeman next to him with hope and asked, "Any news?"
The policeman looked at her and shook his head with some regret. Ye Zhao's legs went weak and she was about to kneel down when Yan Xu quickly stepped forward to help her stand up. He said in a deep voice, "We've already sent more people to search. How far can a child go? It's okay, don't worry. I promise to bring the child back to you safely."
Yan Sen quickly added, "Zhao Zhao, don't worry, the child will be fine. It's Xiao Xi who's blaming herself, don't let her frighten you..."
Several people gathered around to comfort her, but Ye Zhao's heart continued to sink as time went by. She wanted to go out and look for the child herself, but Yan Xu refused to let her go. He solemnly assured her that the child would be brought back safely and told her not to overthink things.
During the time Ye Zhao spent waiting in the hall, he also figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
Today, the nanny was off work, and Yan Xi said that Yuanbao had been missing Ye Zhao so much these past few days that he looked listless, so she brought him to the farm to relax.
They were fine when they arrived, and Yuanbao was very happy. Yan Xi said he would take him to pick vegetables, and he happily went along.
While picking vegetables, Yan Xi went to the restroom and asked a farm worker to watch her child. However, she only went to the restroom for a few minutes, and when she came out, she couldn't find her child. The worker said that the child had just been there. Yan Xi searched the surrounding area but still couldn't find the child. She called Yan Xu in tears and then called the police. At first, the police did not take the case. It wasn't until they received a call from their superiors that they started looking for the child.
During the time Ye Zhao had been on her way, the police had searched the surrounding area, but there was no news.
The farm area is sparsely populated with few vehicles, let alone surveillance cameras. The police were initially clueless and not very serious, but after receiving calls from their superiors, they had to take it seriously. However, after searching for a while, they still had no news.
Ye Zhaoyue grew increasingly anxious as she waited. Ignoring Yan Xu's attempts to stop her, she insisted on going to find someone. Yan Xu had no choice but to accompany her.
Meanwhile, Yuanbao, whom everyone was searching for in a big way, was sitting in a small shop on the street eating noodles.
He looked a little hungry. There was a big bowl of noodles in front of him, and he was eating it with relish.
The shop owners exchanged a glance, and the wife sat down in front of Yuanbao, asking gently, "Little boy, did you come out by yourself?"
Yuanbao nodded at her, his eyes filled with wariness, but he didn't say anything and continued to quietly pick at his noodles.
The proprietress looked worried and asked, "Do your parents know? Won't they worry about you coming out by yourself?"
Yuanbao was unhappy. He swallowed the noodles in his mouth and said, "I'm so brave, Mom won't worry. I'm going to find her."
The proprietress smiled and said, "So you're looking for your mother? Do you know where she is?"
Little Yuanbao started shoveling noodles again, and simply nodded when he heard this.
The proprietress and her husband exchanged a glance, then she smiled and asked, "Is your mother far from here? Can you find her?"
Little Yuanbao nodded. Seeing the landlady frowning slightly, he pointed outside and said, "My mom is up ahead. I'll find her in a bit."
The proprietress raised an eyebrow and said, "Your mother is up ahead? Why don't I give her a call and have her come pick you up?"
Yuanbao shook his head: "Mom is busy, I'll just eat some noodles and then come over."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to shovel noodles into his mouth, ignoring whatever the proprietress said to him.
The owners exchanged a glance and walked to the side.
"Since he's not crying or making a fuss, he probably isn't lost, right?"
"But I still feel uneasy, should I call the police?"
"Let's wait and see, just in case the mother comes looking for us after she's done with her work."
While the couple was still agonizing over the matter, two guests walked in, and they started working on it again.
Little Yuanbao sat by the door and saw the couple working very hard. He reached into his pocket, took out a hundred-yuan bill, put it on the table, and weighed it down with chopsticks. Then, when the couple wasn't paying attention, he ran away in a flash.
