Qiao Wanwan suddenly stood up. "What do you mean? What do you mean 'Eleventh day has disappeared'!"
"Class 11 went to the museum today, but 11 is nowhere to be found!"
Qiao Wanwan felt dizzy and fell backward, landing back on the sofa!
"Sister-in-law, are you alright?" Ruan Tang anxiously helped her up. "What happened to Eleven?"
Qiao Wanwan tried to remain calm. "Mom, Eleven disappeared at the museum, right?"
"Yes! I'm already at the museum!"
"Hurry up and have the museum sealed off, pull up the surveillance footage, I'm coming right away!"
"good!"
"What's wrong?" Zhan Jingting came downstairs. "Aunt Zheng told me she went missing during the National Day holiday?"
"It's gone from the museum," Qiao Wanwan said, standing up. "You need to send people over there immediately!"
"Wanwan, don't worry, let's go take a look."
Kindergarten dismissal time is 4 o'clock, which is not yet the rush hour, but it still took nearly 50 minutes to get there from Wutong Bay.
As soon as Qiao Wanwan got out of the car, she saw a large crowd gathered at the entrance of the museum.
She rushed over and saw Ruan Wanyi looking anxious.
"Mother!"
"Wanwan, you've finally arrived! We've searched the entire museum, but we couldn't find Eleven!"
"The surveillance footage has been retrieved. He went to the restroom during the National Day holiday and never came out again!"
"show me!"
The staff quickly brought over a laptop, and everyone's eyes were glued to the screen.
The video shows the teacher taking Eleven to the restroom. Eleven said something, and the teacher left at the door while Eleven went into the men's restroom alone.
"Master Zhan, Madam, I'm so sorry!" The female teacher, who was standing nearby, cried, "Eleven told me that girls aren't allowed in the men's restroom, and told me to wait outside, so I didn't go in..."
"Don't cry yet," Qiao Wanwan asked while staring at the screen, "You went in on National Day and haven't come out yet?"
"Yes, I waited for about five or six minutes, but he still didn't come out, so I knocked on the door. There was no sound inside, so I went in to check, and there was no one there! Madam, you can also verify what I said in the video."
Qiao Wanwan watched the video frame by frame, and it was just as the teacher had said!
"Where are the windows?" Zhan Jingting asked.
Museum staff stepped forward and replied nervously, "Replying to Master Zhan, since it's on the first floor, there are safety nets installed outside the windows. Even a small child couldn't squeeze through, so it's impossible for the young master to have climbed out of the window. He simply vanished into thin air."
“My son couldn’t have just vanished into thin air.” Zhan Jingting’s eyes grew cold as he stared at the video. “Rewind the video by three minutes and thirty-five seconds.”
Jiang Dong hurriedly did as instructed.
The video was pulled back, and everyone looked closely and saw a cleaner wearing a hat and mask pushing a tool cart out of the men's restroom!
"It must be him!" Qiao Wanwan trembled with fear. "He was the only person who entered and exited the scene. Eleven must have been hidden in the cart and secretly taken out by him!"
Zhan Jingting instructed, "Jiang Dong, pull up all the surveillance footage and immediately track down this person's whereabouts."
"Yes." Jiang Dong immediately did as instructed.
Qiao Wanwan felt a splitting headache. "Eleven couldn't possibly have gone with someone willingly, so he must have been drugged. Who kidnapped Eleven, and what was their purpose?"
"Wanwan, don't worry." Zhan Jingting held her shoulders. "I'll investigate here. You should get in the car and rest for a while."
"I don't need to rest. I need to find Eleven, otherwise he will be in danger."
"Jiangdong is already investigating, so don't be afraid."
Qiao Wanwan felt as if every second was stretched out infinitely. Although it had only been a few minutes, it felt like an eternity.
"Master Zhan, the young mistress!" Jiang Dong said, "I've found out!"
Qiao Wanwan rushed forward, "How is it?"
“This person pushed the cart out the back door. I’m going to activate the Sky Eye system to track it now.”
"So, Eleven has already been taken out of the museum?" Qiao Wanwan was dizzy. "Although the Sky Eye system has a wide coverage, it still has blind spots. If this person had planned the route in advance, he could have completely avoided the Sky Eye system!"
"Jiang Dong, immediately arrange sufficient manpower to search outwards from the museum, leaving no corner unchecked, especially areas not covered by surveillance cameras!"
"Yes, Madam."
Qiao Wanwan stared at the museum staff with bloodshot eyes and gritted her teeth, saying, "My son had an accident here. The person who took him away was one of your staff members. I need all the information about this person within ten minutes. If anything happens to my son, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
The staff member was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. "I'll check right away!"
A dozen minutes later, the staff returned. "Master Zhan, I'm sorry, I've already checked. I've questioned all the cleaners, whether they were on duty or not, and there was nothing suspicious. A set of work clothes was missing from the cleaning room. That thug must have sneaked in, pretended to be a cleaner, and took the young master away!"
Qiao Wanwan had already suspected it. "I knew it couldn't be that simple..."
Staying in the museum wouldn't help, so the group returned to Wutong Bay first.
Zhan Jingting served Qiao Wanwan a bowl of soup. "Wanwan, you're feeling a little better now. You can't go hungry. Eat something."
"I'm not hungry."
"You have to eat even if you're not hungry." Zhan Jingting ladled out some soup. "I'll feed you."
"No need," Qiao Wanwan said, taking the bowl. "I'll drink it myself."
Zhan Jingting was taken aback, but seeing her drinking the soup, he felt somewhat relieved.
"Master Zhan, Madam." Jiang Dong hurriedly walked in.
"How's it going? Any news from the National Day holiday?"
"Not yet." Jiang Dong's expression was solemn. "The Sky Eye system has completed its check. Just as the young lady said, that person avoided all surveillance cameras. No camera captured him. Now we can only monitor the Sky Eye system and hope he will reappear while searching manually."
Qiao Wanwan put down the bowl in her hand. "We need to find Eleven as soon as possible. The longer we delay, the more dangerous it will be."
"yes."
“Young Master, Madam,” Zheng Ma reported as she approached, “After Madam fainted and woke up, she drank the medicine prescribed by the Old Master and has just fallen asleep. Miss Tangtang is watching over her.”
"Understood." Zhan Jingting said in a deep voice, "Have the doctor stand by. Before Eleven is found, her emotions are unstable and she may faint again at any time."
"yes."
Zhan Jingting picked up the bowl from the coffee table again. "Wanwan, Mom is sick. You can't fall ill."
"Yes, I can't fall down," Qiao Wanwan muttered to herself. "I need to take good care of myself so that I can bring Eleven back."
"Um."
After finishing her meal, Qiao Wanwan couldn't just wait around, so she went upstairs to her study, turned on her computer, and started studying the museum's surveillance videos, trying to find clues.
Not long after, there was a knock on the study door!
