Chapter 15 Locked in the Utility Room



What?! Locked in the utility room, this is too much!

Jiang Qiuyu had just become a mother, and her maternal love was overflowing, so she immediately decided to get to the bottom of the matter.

She looked around and immediately walked towards a security booth in front.

One of the selling points of the high-end villa area is its superb security, and a security booth every fifty meters is a hard requirement.

When the security guard saw Jiang Qiuyu coming, he quickly opened the window and saluted her.

"Dear owner, is there anything I can help you with?"

Jiang Qiuyi pointed at the Zhan family and asked, "Did you see their nanny go out?"

The security guard thought for a moment and nodded solemnly.

"I saw it, about ten minutes ago."

"Leaving alone?"

The security guard nodded again, "Yes."

Needless to say, the nanny must have gone out and left the child alone at home.

Even if the child is not locked in the utility room, it is extremely dangerous to leave the child alone at home. If an electrical appliance in the home malfunctions and causes a fire, the consequences will be disastrous.

Xue Jiayu was so angry that she cursed in her heart.

[She really left Zhan Nanqi alone at home. Did she lock him up in the utility room again? Or in his room!]

[This is too much. If a fire breaks out, Zhan Nanqi won’t be able to escape and can only wait for death.]

[We have to notify his parents to come back quickly]

Jiang Qiuyi was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat and quickly borrowed the phone in the security booth to call Xue Wangjun.

Xue Wangjun was counting the newly arrived fabrics in the factory. He was a little impatient when he received the call: "Who is it?"

"Hubby! It's me!" Jiang Qiuyi changed her other hand to hug Xue Jiayu, "Call the Zhan couple now and ask them to come home."

"Now?" Xue Wangjun was very surprised. This sounded too ridiculous. How could someone be sent back home for no reason?

"Yes! Right now." Jiang Qiuyu looked back at the Zhan family frequently, fearing that she would see children climbing up the windows or smoke coming out.

"Why? I have to give them a reason if I want them to go home." Xue Wangjun scratched his head, full of doubts.

Jiang Qiuyi was so anxious, "Just say that I saw their child locked in the balcony and couldn't get into the room!"

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll call them right away."

Xue Wangjun didn't dare to delay and called Zhan Aoxiang immediately after hanging up the phone.

In order to thank the Zhan family for saving his life in the future, Xue Wangjun specifically asked for Zhan Aoxiang's contact information. Unexpectedly, it would come in handy today.

Zhan Aoxiang and his wife were in a meeting with their partners when they suddenly received a call from Xue Wangjun. Although it was strange, they still answered the call.

"Boss Xue, what's wrong? Is there anything urgent?"

"Boss Zhan, please go home and check. My wife said she saw your son locked in the balcony and couldn't get in!"

Zhan Aoxiang was startled at first, then he became suspicious, "No way. The nanny is at home at this time, why would she let him stay on the balcony alone? Did Mrs. Xue see it wrong?"

"My wife saw clearly that there was a child on your balcony."

Xue Wangjun's tone was very certain, and he spoke seriously, so Zhan Aoxiang had no choice but to say, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for telling me."

But after hanging up the phone, Zhan Aoxiang did not go home immediately. Instead, he politely saw his partner off and then told Jiang Peirong what the call had said.

"Aunt Jiang has always taken good care of Nan Qi and would never make such a low-level mistake. I guess Mrs. Xue was wrong."

Just as Zhan Aoxiang picked up a cigarette and was about to light it, Jiang Peirong snatched it away and threw it into the trash can.

"The Xue family has no grudges against us, so they wouldn't deliberately make up a lie to deceive us. Maybe Mrs. Xue really saw it. We should go back, just in case!"

Zhan Aoxiang couldn't persuade his wife, so he had to pick up the house keys and go home half-believingly.

After Jiang Qiuyu finished the call, she did not go home, but sat in the security booth holding Xiaobao, waiting for Zhan Aoxiang and his wife to come back.

Seeing that she was still holding the child, the security guard quickly said, "Why don't you go back first? I can let you know if there is any news."

Xue Jiayu immediately widened her eyes.

[No! I want to stay here and watch Uncle Zhan and the others come back! ]

Jiang Qiuyu naturally agreed with her, and she was not at ease just leaving like that, so she politely rejected the security guard's suggestion.

"No, just wait a moment. They will surely be back soon."

The security guard couldn't say anything, so he gave her a clean seat and focused on his duty.

In less than half an hour, a Hongqi bus drove into their sight.

Xue Jiayu immediately started babbling, and Jiang Qiuyu knew that the Zhan couple had returned, so she quickly followed them with her daughter in her arms.

Zhan Aoxiang and his wife parked the car in the yard. Jiang Peirong quickly looked towards the balcony, but did not see Zhan Nanqi.

Zhan Aoxiang was immediately unhappy, "Hey, this Madam Xue really lied to us! I said she was wrong! We even came back specially. How stupid!"

Having said that, Zhan Aoxiang was about to light the car and return to the company immediately.

The next second, Jiang Peirong held his hand.

"Wait a minute. Don't you think it's a little weird?"

Jiang Peirong got out of the car and glanced at the door with a serious expression.

"The door was closed, which means Aunt Jiang went to buy groceries, but Nan Qi's shoes were still there. Could it be that Nan Qi was alone at home?"

Zhan Aoxiang was so scared that he got out of the car immediately, and started shouting Zhan Nanqi's name as soon as he entered the house.

"Son—! Nanqi—!"

The couple searched the Zhan family's house several times, especially Zhan Nanqi's room and his favorite study, but they couldn't find anyone.

Jiang Peirong's voice had gone from calm at the beginning to hoarse, and she could barely utter the last few words, only being able to squeeze out a little bit of movement from her throat.

"Son, where are you? Come out quickly, okay? Don't scare mom and dad."

Zhan Aoxiang quickly helped his wife sit on the sofa and was about to call the police when he suddenly heard a noise at the door.

He went out to see immediately, thinking it was his son who had returned.

But the person who came was a beautiful woman and Xue Jiayu, who had just left their house yesterday.

"You-Isn't this Boss Xue's daughter? You are Mrs. Xue!"

Zhan Aoxiang quickly invited them in. Jiang Peirong was so focused on looking for her son that she didn't even bother to greet Jiang Qiuyu.

Xue Jiayu looked at the anxious expressions of Zhan Aoxiang and his wife, and thought that they still loved their son very much, so that would be an easy matter.

Jiang Qiuyu exchanged a few words with Zhan Aoxiang. In fact, she didn't know what she came in for, but since Xiaobao wanted to come in, she had no choice but to accompany him.

The baby's big eyes moved around the room and immediately locked onto the small compartment under the stairs. He pointed at the compartment with his chubby little fingers and made babbling sounds.

But Zhan Aoxiang and his wife didn't notice it at all, so Jiang Qiuyi had to deliberately say, "Xiaobao, where are you going? Mr. Zhan, what room is that?"

Zhan Aoxiang glanced casually and said, "That's the utility room... Wait, Peirong, didn't we look for the utility room just now?"

"Yes, but the utility room is so small, how could Nan Qi stay in it?" Jiang Peirong shook her head, instinctively feeling that it was impossible.
