The sky was getting darker and darker, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. The street lights cast Ye Ruohuan's lonely figure on the ground, a small ball, so fragile that people couldn't bear to touch it.
She didn't know how long she had been sitting here. The people around her had already dispersed, and even the customers who were also wandering around the supermarket a few hours ago had left. No one knew that a kidnapping case had occurred here a few hours ago.
Ye Shuo has been missing for less than 24 hours and a case has not been filed yet. So what else can she do before sunrise tomorrow?
Ye Ruohuan huddled alone and helplessly at the entrance of the supermarket. Her empty eyes made her look like a puppet without a soul. Such a lifeless look made Fu Yijian a little uncomfortable for a moment. He honked the horn several times to attract the woman's attention.
After Ye Ruohuan got in the car, Fu Yijian asked him, "Where did you get lost? Are you sure you were taken away?"
Ye Ruohuan felt her heart bleed when she said this, "I don't know. He said he was going to get a pack of biscuits and never came back."
"We can't file a case if the boy is missing for less than 24 hours. Maybe the boy just ran away because he was having fun. Let's wait a little longer."
Fu Yijian said the same thing as those indifferent people. Ye Ruohuan listened to it for the whole afternoon, and she had had enough!
But she didn't dare to scold the man next to her. After a few layers of wrapping in her stomach, the words she was going to say to his mother turned into five words with resentment: "Can I hit you?"
Fu Yijian was stunned for a moment, then realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, "Sorry."
He raised his eyebrows and started the car, comforting Ye Ruohuan, "Let's go back to his residence first, maybe he went back by himself."
But the supermarket was several stops away from Ye Ruohuan’s small apartment. Ye Shuo was only four years old and had no money. How could he possibly go back by himself?
The scenery outside the car window flew by. Ye Ruohuan looked at his pale and helpless face in the glass, feeling nothing but regret in his heart.
Fu Yijian had originally planned to talk to her about meeting Ou Manlan in the evening, but seeing her absent-minded look, he swallowed his words back.
To be honest, he is not an unreasonable person.
Although he used Ye Ruohuan as a shield and used her to trap her, things had not yet touched the bottom line.
What is the bottom line? Ye Ruohuan's brother might be abducted, and human life is at stake. This is Fu Yijian's bottom line.
He couldn't help but wonder if it was because of his appearance that disrupted the ordinary lives of Ye Ruhuan and his sister, triggering this series of events.
It’s better to end all this quickly, let Ye Ruohuan return to ordinary life as soon as possible... and give her some money as compensation?
On the way, Ye Ruohuan received a call from her boss. She belatedly remembered that she had a live broadcast to do today.
"You're confused after sleeping so much. You have to do a live broadcast today. Where are you?" Because of what happened last night, the website lost a lot of fans, and the boss's attitude towards her was not particularly good.
"Something happened to me, so I might have to take a few days off."
Ye Ruohuan tried hard to have a good talk with him, but that man poked her in the spine with every word he said, and the content was unbearable to hear, "What's the matter? Your father is still burning paper for your mother on the seventh day of her death. I'm telling you that I haven't settled the score with you for what happened yesterday........."
A high-decibel voice came from the receiver, and even Fu Yijian heard a few words. He frowned fiercely, but Ye Ruohuan reacted even more violently than him, cursing back even more fiercely. She even cursed the boss' ancestors, without caring about her image at all. In the end, she said she wanted to resign without blinking, which stunned the boss.
"I was just joking. Are you really not going to do it anymore?"
“I quit!”
Ye Ruohuan is a very impulsive person. Although she is a bit timid, she still has some backbone. She can scold anyone except her family!
She had worked hard to earn money over the years, and more than half of it was spent on Ye Shuo. Now that Ye Shuo is lost, why is she still doing live broadcasts!
After cursing back harshly, Ye Ruohuan hung up the phone without thinking.
Fu Yijian felt a bit of a headache. If CITA really poached such a hot-tempered woman, wouldn't she have to resign several times every day?
It seems I should reconsider.
The car stopped downstairs of Ye Ruohuan's small apartment, and Fu Yijian told her, "I have sent someone to look for him. There are other things I need you to do in the evening. Come with me later..."
"I'm not going anywhere until I find him."
Fu Yijian's eyes turned cold, and he asked her coldly, "Do you have the right to refuse?"
Ye Ruohuan gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "At worst, I can pay you back one million. You have power and influence, you can bully me however you want. I accept it!"
People who are familiar with him know that Fu Yijian is soft-hearted and does not take hard actions, especially those who confront him head-on, will not end up well in the end. The eyes of the two collided in the air, sparks flew, and neither of them was willing to give in. Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate, the assistant suddenly called.
"Found it, the child is found!"
It turned out that Ye Shuo left the supermarket on his own without waiting for Ye Ruhuan to pick him up. Unfortunately, he got lost in the central garden and sat on a bench until the evening. He was finally found by his assistant.
