Chapter 213 Shen Luo is missing
"Is this woman in City C?" Ding Zhiyi asked.
He Yin had long since lost contact with others, and she didn't know where Chu Rou was. "We weren't on good terms and hadn't been in touch for a long time, but I know where her brother lives."
...
When Chu Rou and Mo Chi got out of the elevator, they ran into Mo Yan and Yuan Qian, who were coming down together.
Chu Rou noticed a red mark on Yuan Qian's collarbone, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Yuan Qian with an ambiguous gaze.
Yuan Qian took Chu Rou's arm and said, "Rou Rou, let's go back to the old house for dinner!"
Chu Rou turned to look at Mo Chi, and Mo Chi nodded.
"Then let's go back together," Chu Rou asked in a low voice. "Sister-in-law, have you been spending the whole afternoon with my brother?"
Yuan Qian blushed and gently pinched Chu Rou's arm, "Can't I stay with you?"
"Yes, absolutely," Chu Rou chuckled, "but if you come to keep my brother company every day, I'm afraid it will interfere with his work."
Yuan Qian covered Chu Rou's mouth and said angrily, "Don't say anymore."
Chu Rou blinked, and Yuan Qian then took her hand away.
They had dinner together at the Mo family's old house.
Looking at his two sons and two excellent daughters-in-law, Mo Anbang felt extremely comfortable. It's true that birds of a feather flock together. He had always felt that he couldn't get close to Mo Yuan, and Jiang Simin was even more repulsive.
Now things are much better; no one will bother their family anymore.
Qiao Siying looked much more energetic, and the corners of her mouth were constantly turned up, never coming down.
After dinner, the three members of the Mo family gathered in the study again.
"Jiang Anhe sent Jiang Simin to a mental hospital. Before that, Jiang Simin was already mentally unstable and kept talking nonsense."
Mo Yan gritted his teeth. He hated this woman so much that his teeth itched. He regretted only scratching her face.
"Jiang Anhe agreed to transfer 40% of Jiang's shares to us as compensation for these years."
Mo Yan looked at Mo Chi, "Little Chi, I'll give you half."
Mo Chi shrugged and accepted it gladly. He could go home that night and brag to his wife that their assets had grown once again.
After dinner, Mo Chi and Chu Rou returned to their suburban villa.
Qi Lin looked at Chu Rou with a resentful expression, "Sister, I haven't seen you for several days."
Mo Chi rolled his eyes, "She's your sister, not your husband. Why are you being so clingy?"
Qi Lin glanced at Mo Chi, pulled Chu Rou aside, and asked loudly, "Sister, can you find a different boyfriend? This one is so annoying."
Chu Rou pinched Qi Lin's cheek. "Alright, have you been studying hard these past few days? I'll come over and check on you in a bit."
"Oh!" Qi Lin deflated instantly.
"Is Brother Shen Yan back?" Chu Rou asked.
Qi Lin nodded. "I'm back. I went back to my room after dinner."
As long as no one got lost, Chu Rou chatted with Qi Lin for a while before being dragged upstairs by an impatient Mo Chi.
Qi Lin pouted, "What a persistent nuisance!"
Back in their room, Mo Chi kept making love to Chu Rou until their eyelids were heavy and they finally fell asleep in each other's arms.
Early in the morning, Chu Rou's phone alarm rang. Chu Rou didn't wake up. Mo Chi turned off the alarm with his eyes half-closed and fell asleep again while holding Chu Rou.
Chu Rou was awakened by a series of urgent phone rings. She fumbled for her phone with her eyes still closed, and answered it without checking who was calling, her voice languid, "Hello?"
"Sister Chu Rou!" Qu Jie's voice was choked with sobs. "Chen Luo is missing. Something must have happened to her. What should I do?"
Chu Rou suddenly opened her eyes, "What do you mean Xiao Luo is missing?"
Qu Jie cried anxiously, "We both had classes this morning. We got off the elevator together, but I suddenly had a stomachache and went back to the bathroom, leaving Shen Luo to wait for me downstairs."
"When I left the apartment again, I saw an unfamiliar car drive away from the building entrance. I didn't think much of it at the time, I was just thinking about finding Shen Luo, but after I looked around, I still couldn't find Shen Luo."
“I called him, but his phone was switched off. He keeps his phone on 24/7, and it was fully charged this morning. I even charged it for him. I think something must have happened to Shen Luo. Could he have been taken away by that car?”
"Don't worry, go to the property management office to check the surveillance footage first, and call the police immediately if there's a problem," Chu Rou comforted Qu Jie. "I'll try contacting Shen Luo as well."
Chu Rou hung up Qu Jie's call and then called Shen Luo, but as expected, his phone was switched off.
Her heart suddenly tightened, and she began to feel uneasy. She shook Mo Chi, who was still sleeping, awake. "Mo Chi, wake up. It seems like something happened to Xiao Luo."
Mo Chi suddenly sat up, his head still foggy. "What's wrong, Rou Rou? Who's in trouble?"
"Xiao Luo, he's gone." Chu Rou's head started throbbing, and she said weakly, pressing her temples.
"Shen Luo is missing?" Mo Chi put on his glasses. "Who told you?"
Chu Rou recounted to Mo Chi what Qu Jie had said on the phone.
Mo Chi frowned. "Has Shen Luo offended anyone?"
“Who could Xiao Luo possibly offend at school?” Chu Rou threw off the covers and ran to the dressing room. “No, I have to go back to City C.”
Mo Chi followed and hugged Chu Rou, "Rou Rou, don't rush, let's see if Qu Jie can find the surveillance footage."
Chu Rou calmed down a bit. She leaned against Mo Chi's chest, clutching her chest. "I'm so anxious. I have this feeling that something is going to happen."
"It's okay, I'm here!" Mo Chi kissed the top of her head.
Chu Rou's phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was Qu Jie calling. She answered immediately, "Xiao Jie, is there any news?"
"Sister Chu Rou, the property management said that the surveillance cameras in this area downstairs from our apartment building are broken. They were working fine yesterday, so it's probably been sabotaged."
Qu Jie was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet. "What should I do, Sister Chu Rou? I don't dare to tell Aunt Shi, and Brother Shen Yan isn't in City C either. I can only come to you."
Chu Rou forced herself to remain calm, "Xiao Jie, don't worry, I'll find Uncle Lu first and ask him for help. I'll fly over right away."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Rou burst into tears. She couldn't let anything happen to Xiao Luo.
She wiped away her tears and called Director Lu. The call was answered quickly, and Chu Rou burst into tears, "Uncle Lu, please help me, please help me find Xiao Luo."
"Xiao Rou? Don't cry, what's wrong with Xiao Luo?" Director Lu was startled by Chu Rou's crying.
Chu Rou was sobbing and had difficulty speaking. Mo Chi couldn't bear to see her like this, so he took the phone and told Director Lu what had happened.
After listening, Director Lu said, "Tell Xiaorou not to worry. The surveillance cameras in the community are broken, but it's impossible for all the surveillance cameras outside to be broken. I'll have someone check all the surveillance cameras near the apartment to look for suspicious vehicles."
"Thank you for your help, Director Lu." Mo Chi hung up the phone.
He held Chu Rou in his arms and comforted her, "Don't cry, maybe we'll find Shen Luo soon."
"I want to go home!" Chu Rou couldn't stop her tears. All she wanted now was to return to City C and find Shen Luo herself.
“Go back, I’ll go back with you right away,” Mo Chi patted Chu Rou’s back gently. “It would be best to inform the Qi family. They have a wide network of connections and many channels, so they might be able to find them faster than the police.”
