That day, Shen Qingli worked the night shift, and Sister Chen went to pick up the two children.
Sister Chen arrived at the gate of the kindergarten half an hour in advance and waited quietly in the cold winter wind.
She looked at the gate of the kindergarten, her eyes full of gentleness and patience. From time to time, she rubbed her hands and exhaled hot air to warm her red and frozen fingertips.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally it was time for Shen Jinnan and Shen Jinxi to finish school.
Sister Chen stood at the front of the team, her eyes fixed on the direction the teacher was leading the children.
Soon, the teacher came back with the children in an orderly manner. Sister Chen looked at every young face, but she never saw the two familiar little faces.
Sister Chen's heart tightened, and she quickly walked up to the teacher, with a polite smile on her face, and asked softly, "Teacher, are Shen Jinnan and Shen Jinxi still in the classroom?"
Upon hearing this, the teacher frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Weren't they picked up by their mother an hour earlier?"
After hearing this, Sister Chen felt a chill running up from the soles of her feet to her heart, and her face turned pale in an instant.
She calmed herself down and tried to keep her tone calm: "What? Was the child picked up by our mother? But I just talked to our mother on the phone, and she was still at work. She didn't come to pick up the child."
The teacher was shocked and looked incredulous: "That's impossible. I personally handed the child to her. How could she not come to pick him up?"
"I'll make another call and ask."
Sister Chen was extremely anxious. She hurriedly took out her cell phone from her bag. With trembling fingers, she found Shen Qingli's number and called.
At this time, Shen Qingli was in the ward, patiently instructing the patient on postoperative precautions. She felt her cell phone vibrating in her pocket. She smiled apologetically at the patient and said softly to the accompanying doctor, "Please continue. I'm going to answer a call."
Shen Qingli walked to the corridor and pressed the answer button.
Before she could say anything, Sister Chen's anxious voice came over the receiver: "Madam, have you taken the children away? I came here and the teacher said you took the children away."
A flash of panic flashed across Shen Qingli's face, and her voice unconsciously rose a few notches: "What? I didn't pick up the child, I'm still working in the hospital!"
"When are the children not in kindergarten?"
"The teacher said you picked us up an hour ago." Sister Chen's voice was filled with tears.
An hour had passed. Shen Qingli felt dizzy and cold sweat broke out on his back.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Sister Chen, please ask the teacher to check and monitor, I will be right over."
Shen Qingli hung up the phone and quickly called the bodyguard she had found: "Hey, where are you two now? Where is the child? Sister Chen just called and said that the child disappeared an hour ago."
The bodyguard's voice was a little flustered: "We have been guarding the school gate the whole time, but we didn't see any children coming in before school was over."
After hearing what the bodyguard said, Shen Qingli became even more panicked.
If you don't come from the school gate, where will you go?
"I understand. Go find the child quickly."
A thought suddenly flashed through Shen Qingli's mind. Could it be that because of what she said last time, Zhou Yanchen took the child away?
Shen Qingli didn't dare to delay and quickly called Zhou Yanchen.
Zhou Yanchen was sitting in the office processing documents. When he saw the caller ID showed it was Shen Qingli, he was overwhelmed with joy.
She quickly pressed the answer button, but before she could even say "Hello", Shen Qingli's anxious questioning voice came from the receiver: "Zhou Yanchen, did you take the child away?"
Zhou Yanchen stood up suddenly, and the chair scraped on the floor with a harsh sound: "I didn't pick up the children, what happened to you?"
Shen Qingli's voice was filled with tears, "The teacher said the child was taken away by someone."
Zhou Yanchen's expression became serious, and he quickly comforted her, "Xiao Li, don't panic. I'll have someone check it out, and there will be news soon."
"Where are you now? I'll come find you right away."
Shen Qingli was already panicking at this time, and said without thinking: "I'm on my way to kindergarten."
"Okay, don't worry, the children will be fine, I'll be there soon." Zhou Yanchen hung up the phone and immediately called Chang You.
"Boss, what happened?" Chang You hurried into the office and felt nervous when he saw Zhou Yanchen's serious expression.
"Chang You, hurry up, have someone check all the surveillance cameras around the kindergarten. The two children are missing."
"Also, send the others to look for them. I'm going to the kindergarten now. If there's any news, notify me immediately." Zhou Yanchen's tone was quick and firm.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to find it right away." Chang You knew the urgency of the matter and did not dare to delay for a moment. He turned around and quickly left the office.
At the same time, the teacher learned that the person who took the child away was not Shen Qingli, and called the police immediately.
When Shen Qingli rushed to the kindergarten, the police were already monitoring her.
Without even taking a breath, she walked up to the policeman and said with a trembling voice, "Mr. Policeman, did you see who took my two children away?"
The policeman looked up and said gently, "We just arrived. According to the time provided by the teacher, we are still checking the surveillance."
"Don't panic, the surveillance here is basically comprehensive, and we will be able to find the whereabouts of the child quickly."
Shen Qingli nodded repeatedly, "Okay, thank you for your help."
She stood aside, her eyes fixed on the surveillance screen, her hands unconsciously entwined together.
The lovely smiling faces of the children kept appearing in her mind, and her heart was filled with self-blame and worry.
Zhou Yanchen also quickly rushed to the kindergarten. Seeing Shen Qingli's dejected look, his heart ached.
Wang walked to Shen Qingli and patted her shoulder gently: "Don't worry, we have asked them to look for the child. We will definitely find the child."
"You two will be fine."
Shen Qingli raised her head, her eyes red, "Zhou Yanchen, thank you."
On the other side, Shen Jinnan and Shen Jinxi were lying helplessly on the back seat of the car.
Their bodies looked so small and fragile, like two captured lambs.
At this moment, not only were their hands and feet tightly bound with thick ropes, but even their mouths were firmly sealed with thick glue, with no possibility of escape at all.
As the car suddenly shook violently, Shen Jinnan, who was originally unconscious, slowly opened his eyes.
After his vision gradually became clear, he was horrified to find that he and his sister were in such a dangerous situation.
When I turned my neck with great difficulty and finally caught sight of my sister curled up in her seat, my heart suddenly tightened.
When I tried to open my mouth to make a sound, all I could hear was a dull groaning sound coming from deep in my throat.
Not only that, but because my hands and feet were tied so tightly, even simple movements like moving my body slightly or sitting up straight were difficult to accomplish.
Each slight struggle only resulted in more pain as the rope dug deeper into my skin.
Shen Jinnan gave up struggling, his memory gradually came back, they were kidnapped!
If mom knew we were missing, she would be so worried. What should we do now?
