Chu He suddenly stood up and turned around. She scanned the surroundings and deduced calmly, “Nothing bad happened to Baby Chu.”
Mu Yancheng was startled. “What do you mean?”
When Meng Qingxue heard this, she looked surprised too. “Chu He, how can you be so sure?”
“Did you see this chair?” Chu He kicked the remains of the chair on the ground expressionlessly and said slowly, “Didn’t Luo Qing say that they left after tying Baby Chu to a chair? I looked at the scene and saw no signs of an intense fight. I originally thought that Baby Chu had been taken away by that woman, but when I saw this chair, I can deduce that she probably acted in the same manner as Luo Qing and Luo Hao. She did not care about the child and left directly.”
Meng Qingxue walked to Chu He’s side. She lowered her head to look at the chair on the ground. All she could see was that the chair seemed to have suffered a huge impact. Therefore, it had broken into pieces.
She looked confused. “What happened to this chair?”
“Did you notice this? The chair has been broken and split into pieces. But do you see this? There are traces of someone being handcuffed here. Judging from these traces, it’s probably because the Baby Chu was tied to the chair and wanted to escape, so he dragged the chair to the wall, turned around and slammed against the wall heavily. Thus, he broke the chair. This chair looks very sturdy, but after so many years of exposure to the wind and sun, coupled with being soaked in water, it has long rotted. So, it broke easily upon impact. He probably thought of this method to escape as he was abandoned there alone.”
Chu He explained in detail, which caused Meng Qingxue to arrive at a realization.
“I understand what you mean! In other words, nothing bad happened to Baby Chu.”
“That’s true, but… that’s not necessarily the case!”
Chu He furrowed her brows as she turned around and walked to the door. She scanned the surroundings. This was the suburbs—completely desolate and uninhabited. Even if he could escape, how could a five-year-old child rely on his own ability to leave this place?
When they arrived at the capital and drove to this place, Chu He noticed that it was completely deserted with not a single person in sight. Even an adult would have to walk for three days and three nights if they wanted to leave.
With Baby Chu’s leg strength, it was impossible for him to leave this place.
Chu He furrowed her eyebrows and clenched her fists tightly. For a moment, she felt a little lost.
She wanted to find Baby Chu, but she did not know how to search for him.
Finding a child in such a huge capital was like finding a needle in a haystack.
She did not even dare to imagine the bad things that could have happened, but she was still worried that Baby Chu might have encountered some accidents in the wilderness!
At this moment, other women would probably feel so helpless that they’d collapse in despair and cry loudly. However, Chu He did not.
Meng Qingxue said, “Why don’t we call the police?!”
“Call the police?” Mu Yancheng snorted. “Haven’t you seen how inefficient the police is? Call the police? There won’t be any clues at all.”
“But it’s better than just sitting there and not doing anything!” Meng Bixue said disapprovingly. “What if Baby Chu met a kind person after leaving this place and was sent to the police station? Perhaps, calling the police will give us some clues!”
Chu He agreed with this suggestion, so she nodded.
