Chapter 214 It was my fault that Xiao Luo was implicated.
“Yes, call my dad!” Chu Rou took the phone from Mo Chi and called Qi Wende.
Qi Wende was in a meeting at the company when he saw that it was Chu Rou calling. He immediately waved his hand and paused the meeting.
"Rou Rou, is something wrong?" Qi Wende spoke gently, and he was in a good mood to receive a call from his daughter.
"Dad, please help me!"
Chu Rou's voice was urgent and tearful, which confused Qi Wende. He stood up abruptly from his seat. "Rou Rou, don't cry. Tell me what happened slowly."
The senior executives present at the meeting were dumbfounded. Who was President Qi calling? His attitude and tone were unprecedented!
"Rou Rou" is clearly a girl's name. Does President Qi also have a woman outside? These executives all turned their attention to Qi Hang.
Qi Hang frowned. Chu Rou was crying? What happened? He couldn't sit still any longer and followed Qi Wende outside.
The other high-ranking members had varied expressions; was the Qi family about to descend into chaos?
Qi Hang walked over to Qi Wende's side, trying to hear but unable to make out what Chu Rou was saying. He only saw Qi Wende's serious expression and then said, "Rou Rou, don't worry, Daddy will take you there by plane right now. I will also send someone to find Shen Luo."
After Qi Wende hung up the phone, Qi Hang hurriedly asked, "Dad, what happened to my sister? What happened to Chen Luo?"
“Chen Luo has disappeared. Chu Rou suspects he has been kidnapped.” Qi Wende explained briefly. “Xiao Hang, arrange a flight. I need to accompany Rou Rou back to City C.”
"Okay!" Qi Hang turned and left.
Qi Wende stood with his hands in his pockets. Perhaps it was a father-daughter bond, but he couldn't bear to hear Chu Rou cry, and his heart ached along with hers.
He had never really looked at Shen Luo properly; she was the child of his beloved and another man, and he found it hard to face her.
Whether it was for Chu Rou or Shi Jingman, he had to help find that child.
He messaged Qi Feiyao, saying he was going to City C for a few days to take care of some things.
When Qi Feiyao received the news, her heart skipped a beat. Had her husband gone to City C to see Chu Rou's mother? Had they not broken up?
He's only been back from City C for a little over a week, and he's already going there again. That's really unusual.
She wanted to meet Chu Rou's mother to see what kind of woman she was.
...
After contacting Qi Wende, Chu Rou called Shen Yan.
Shen Yan was with He Wei, who was paying for legal advice.
When Shen Yan saw the call from Chu Rou, he answered without thinking. Chu Rou rarely called him unless there was something wrong.
After hearing Chu Rou finish telling him about Shen Luo, he started packing his things. "I'll go back to City C with you."
"Attorney Shen, what happened to Chu Rou?" He Wei asked anxiously.
“My brother is in trouble,” Shen Yan said, having already packed up his notebook and documents and stood up. “Mr. He, I’m sorry, I have to rush back to City C. Today’s consultation is free. The divorce case has been accepted by the court, and I have also applied for property preservation. Now we are just waiting for the court hearing notice. I will come back before the hearing.”
After finishing his sentence, Shen Yan left in a hurry.
He Wei tapped his fingers on the table. Something happened to Shen Luo? That's Chu Rou's precious little brother. Rou Rou must be very worried!
...
Three hours later, Chu Rou arrived in City C on the Qi family's private plane.
Chu Rou and Mo Chi went to the police station to find Director Lu first, and Qu Jie and Huang Shan had just arrived as well.
Upon seeing Chu Rou, Director Lu hurriedly greeted her, "Xiao Rou, you've arrived! Please have a seat!"
"Sister Chu Rou," Qu Jie hugged Chu Rou when she saw her, "Shen Luo will definitely be alright, right?"
Chu Rou's eyes were red, and she was also flustered, but she comforted Qu Jie, "It's okay, Xiao Luo will be alright. There are so many of us, we will definitely find him."
"Uncle Lu, have you found anything?" Chu Rou asked Director Lu.
Director Lu's expression was serious. "Based on the time of the incident, we investigated the cars that appeared in front of the apartment during that period. Only one car was very suspicious; it was a car with a fake license plate."
"We kept tracking this car on the surveillance footage, hoping the traffic police would stop it, but it seems they changed the license plate halfway through, and three identical cars appeared at the same time, distracting us."
“All three cars were stopped, and the interiors and trunks were checked, but Shen Luo was not found. I suspect they switched cars midway, which is why we lost track of them.”
"However, it's clear that this car is leaving City C."
"Once we leave City C, it will be much harder to find."
Chu Rou understood what Director Lu meant. Within City C, his words carried weight, but outside of City C, he had to contact the public security authorities of the respective provinces and cities to obtain their cooperation.
The crucial issue is that we don't know which city that vehicle is headed to.
Chu Rou and the other three left the police station. Chief Lu had done his best; the rest was up to them.
As Qu Jie stepped out of the police station, her legs went weak, and Huang Shan supported her.
Qu Jie bit her lower lip hard, tears welling up in her eyes. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left him alone downstairs."
Huang Shan put her arm around Qu Jie's shoulder and said, "Qu Jie, don't be like this. Cheer up. The most important thing now is to find Shen Luo."
“Xiao Jie, Shan Shan is right. Xiao Luo is your boyfriend, not your son. The person who kidnapped him must have planned it.” Chu Rou clasped her hands tightly, her body almost unsteady.
Mo Chi supported Chu Rou from behind, "Qu Jie, has Shen Luo offended anyone recently?"
Qu Jie shook her head, "We live a very simple life, going back and forth between school and the apartment every day. We don't have the chance to offend anyone."
Huang Shan suddenly remembered something, "Sister Chu Rou, Qu Jie, do you think it could be Ding Zhen?"
"Ding Zhen?" Chu Rou's mind went blank; she couldn't remember who this person was at all.
Qu Jie was taken aback. She had forgotten about this. Given Ding Zhen's vindictive nature, he would definitely retaliate if he was wronged.
"There were five of us eating together, so why did he only kidnap Shen Luo?"
As soon as the topic of food came up, Chu Rou remembered it. She had completely forgotten about it. "Could it be that guy surnamed Ding?"
"What Ding Zhen? I don't know him." Mo Chi asked from the side.
Huang Shan, being quick to speak, recounted what had happened during dinner that day.
Mo Chi stroked his chin. "This isn't a big deal. It's just a loss of face. There's no need to kidnap him. At most, he'll just get a beating."
"Besides, since you and Qu Jie are both here, Ding Zhen will at least consider your family's situation!"
"Compared to Shen Luo, the Ding family should be much gentler. Why would they be looking for Shen Luo?"
Chu Rou covered her face. "Maybe it's because I have too many bodyguards around me that I can't make a move. I've dragged Xiao Luo into this. It's all my fault!"
