Chapter 750 - Luoxi, Little Xuyan Is Missing

Xia Xiaofu turned around quickly to look. The seat by her side was empty, and Little Xuyan was missing.

“Little Xuyan!” Xia Xiaofu stood up immediately and loudly shouted, “Little Xuyan! Little Xuyan!”

No one responded.

Chen Jingyu called the manager of the restaurant over immediately and said, “The young girl that was sitting down with us just now is missing suddenly. Pull up the CCTV footage right away.”

“Yes, Sir.” The manager of the restaurant ran off quickly, and he quickly went to retrieve the CCTV footage and said, “Mr. Chen, quickly come over to have a look. This is the young girl you are looking for.”

Chen Jingyu and Xia Xiaofu ran over. Little Xuyan appeared in the CCTV footage. Little Xu Yan was originally seated down in her seat very obediently, and she looked at Chen Jingyu proposing curiously. At that moment, a paper plane flew over suddenly from outside and landed by Little Xuyan’s feet. Little Xuyan bent down to pick the plane up.

A young boy appeared by the French windows by her side. The young boy was anxious as he looked at the paper plane that Little Xuyan was holding in her hands. Little Xuyan glanced over at Mummy for a moment before she left her seat to walk towards the door.

Little Xuyan disappeared from the CCTV after that, and she was lost.

Xia Xiaofu’s face was very pale. She hated that she could not give herself a slap. What was she doing just now? Why was she not looking after Little Xuyan just now?

Little Xuyan went out, but where did she go off to?

“Little Xuyan…” She ran out of the restaurant and went to search outside. “Little Xu Yan, where did you go off to? Don’t scare Mummy; come out quickly.”

Chen Jingyu also walked out. He stretched his hand out to pin Xia Xiaofu’s shoulders down, and he had a serious expression on his face as he said, “Xiaofu, calm down a little. Don’t be nervous. The most important thing to do right now is to call the cops. The police will go and get the CCTV footage from the streets. We are just a few metres away from the main roads. If Little Xuyan was kidnapped by someone, we will be able to get some information. Little Xuyan could not have disappeared into thin air.”

“Okay, okay, then we should call the cops now.” Xia Xiaofu started to sob, and her entire body was trembling.

Chen Jingyu took his phone out and called the police station. He had the direct line to the police commissioner, and it was easy for him to get things done.

“Hello, Director Ma…”

Chen Jingyu was on the line. Xia Xiaofu found a crystal hairpin dropped on the roadside. She ran over quickly and stooped down to pick the crystal hairpin up. This hairpin belonged to Little Xu Yan.

Xia Xiaofu could not control the fear inside her heart at all. “Little Xuyan…” She firmly grasped the hairpin in her hand as she sobbed painfully.

Suddenly, a pair of black handmade shoes appeared beside her, and a clear voice rang out above her head. “What’s wrong?”

Xia Xiaofu, who was sobbing, raised her head up quickly.

Ou Luoxi was here. He’d changed into a light grey wool sweater and had a thin black coloured winter coat on the outside. He still had a group of people and Ah Li behind him, and they looked as if they were about to go out.

Upon seeing him, Xia Xiaofu’s heart clenched up firmly. She stood up and dashed into his embrace. She hugged his waist as she loudly cried out, “Ou… Luoxi…”

Ou Luoxi froze entirely in her embrace. She still had that soft, familiar scent on her that he was accustomed to. It was just as if he were dreaming, but she would not be hugging him like this even in his dreams.

Ou Luoxi’s large hands that were by his sides were raised up slightly, and he wanted to hug her back.

Suddenly, he heard Xia Xiaofu choke up and say, “Ou Luoxi… Little Xuyan is missing, woo woo. Little Xu Yan…is missing now…”

Ou Luoxi’s irises contracted, and his facial expression changed drastically. He quickly held her waist as he made some distance between them, and he said, “What did you say? How did Little Xu Yan go missing? Where did she get lost?”

Xia Xiaofu only cried, and she firmly held the crystal hairpin in her hand as she showed it to Ou Luoxi and said, “This…is Little Xuyan’s. This morning, I was combing her hair for her. She told me… Mummy this hairpin is so beautiful…”

At this moment, Chen Jingyu walked over and said, “Young Master Gong Ming.”

Ou Luoxi looked at Chen Jingyu. His thin lips were pursed into a pale line as he said, “Director Chen, you came just in time. How did my daughter Little Xuyan go missing?”

Chen Jingyu roughly told him what happened and said, “Little Xuyan wanted to return the paper plane over to the little boy, but based on my knowledge of Little Xuyan, she is too obedient. Xiaofu was there, and she would never step out of this restaurant all by herself. If I am not wrong, someone must have dragged her away forcefully when Little Xuyan was standing at the door, and this crystal hairpin was dropped here. Young Master Gong Ming, I have temporarily guessed that this is a planned kidnapping.”

“Planned kidnapping?” Xia Xiaofu’s eyes were blurred with her tears, as she said, “Who kidnapped Little Xuyan? We do not have any enemies normally. Who was it?”

Xia Xiaofu’s words came to a halt as she looked over at Ou Luoxi.

Both she and Little Xuyan did not have any enemies, but Ou Luoxi was different. He was meddling in both legal and illegal businesses and made too many enemies, and now that Little Xuyan had been kidnapped, the only explanation was…

Ou Luoxi stretched his hand out to wipe the tears from Xia Xiaofu’s eyes before he gently said, “If this person is really doing this because of me, then you don’t have any reason to be worried. With me around, Little Xuyan will be safe.”

“Okay.” Xia Xiaofu sobbed as she nodded her head firmly.

…

Inside the luxurious room, Ah Li was done with the phone call before he returned back to Ou Luoxi’s side. He said, “Young Master, we retrieved the CCTV footage from the roadside just now. We have already confirmed that Little Young Miss was kidnapped by a man with a tiger tattoo on his arm at the door of the restaurant and was brought into a van as the man covered her mouth. This van does not have any number plate, and it drove over to Xi Chuan Road before it disappeared on a road without any CCTVs.”

Xia Xiaofu looked at the CCTV footage in front of her. The moment that Little Xu Yan was brought away by the man with the tiger tattoo, she shouted mum out once, but her mouth was covered up quickly.

Xia Xiaofu could not stop crying. She really blamed herself. Why didn’t she hear anything then?

Little Xuyan was so young. Why did she have to suffer so much?

“Did you check where the van went to?” Ou Luoxi asked.

“I found it. The van was burned on a secluded mountain, and the people disappeared off somewhere. We have already started to search within a 10km radius.”

Ou Luoxi listened and did not say anything.

Xia Xiaofu was worried. She stretched her hand out to hold Ou Luoxi’s elbow as she shook it gently. “What should we do then now? Little Xuyan must be very afraid now. She must be crying. Would they hit a kid?”

Ou Luoxi looked at her gently and said, “We can only wait. Don’t worry. There should be a call coming in very soon.”

“Yeah, we can only do that now.”

A melodious ringtone suddenly rang out. It was Ou Luoxi’s phone.

The entire room immediately became quiet. Xia Xiaofu stopped crying and looked at Ou Luoxi nervously.

Ou Luoxi wrapped her small, ice-cold hand firmly in his large palm before he pressed the key and picked up the call. “Hello…”

“Hello, Young Master Gong Ming. How are you?”

Ou Luoxi’s eyes lit up for a moment. The corners of his lips were curled up into a cold smile as he said, “It was you? Mr. Osaka’s son, Mr. Tao Ci?”

“Haha, Young Master Gong Ming, you really have a good memory and good listening skills. We have only met each other once, and you actually recognized me from just one sentence. I am impressed.”
