Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Finding a Needle in a Haystack

"Fu Muzhi, Fu Muzhi..."

Calling out his name while glancing around, Ye Li dared not overlook a single person.

Her eyes ached from the high saturation of bright colors at the amusement park, and each time she saw a little boy who resembled Xiao Bao, Ye Li would chase after him with hope, desperate to see his face.

Then, filled with disappointment, she would continue forward.

"White jacket, black pants, white jacket, black pants..."

Murmuring to herself, Ye Li looked up at the kids on the Frog Jump and then asked the staff.

The staff shook their heads, unable to remember, and Ye Li began to question the nearby parents.

Some said they had seen him.

Others shook their heads no.

Ye Li couldn’t help but sigh.

Her phone rang, and Ye Li answered it quickly, "Fu Yanci, have you found him?"

"No."

The man’s voice was cold, "The bus company sent over the surveillance footage. Xiao Bao changed buses midway, and the last was at the entrance of the amusement park where he got off."

"And the amusement park?"

"We found that Xiao Bao entered the East Gate at 11:30, but there are too many obstructions and people, and then he was out of sight. However, we’re sure he hasn’t left... Ah Li, I’ve arranged for people to search for him in the amusement park. We should find him soon. Wait for me by the carousel."

As long as he was still in the amusement park.

If Fu Yanci had people looking for Xiao Bao, not to mention an amusement park, they would surely fish him out even if it were a needle in a haystack.

Ye Li exhaled, "Okay!"

She hung up the phone and went to sit on the bench for a while.

Since she found out Xiao Bao was missing, she had been running non-stop, and now her legs were shaking.

But more than that, Ye Li was scared after the fact.

Although she didn’t understand why the well-behaved and quiet Xiao Bao would run to the amusement park alone.

After all, kids have their mischievous moments.

The only consolation was that he had come to a crowded place like the amusement park.

Though it was the end of the year, and there were more child traffickers about, surely traffickers wouldn’t be foolish enough to look for targets in an amusement park?

A blessing in disguise.

Thinking to herself about giving him a good lecture once they met and to protect him from Fu Yanci’s wrath, if he got angry and hit the child, Ye Li calmed her chaotic heart and got up to head toward the central carousel.

"Help, someone’s fallen into the lake..."

A scream abruptly erupted, and Ye Li’s steps faltered.

Looking back in the direction of the West Gate of the amusement park, her mind exploded with a bang!

That end of the West Gate led to a lake.

During summer, the elderly loved to fish from the pavilions by the lake.

The amusement park also had water bikes, light boats, and other aquatic activities.

Come winter, the surface would freeze, and local schoolchildren would go there to skate.

One spring, an incident occurred when a child fell in while skating, and the amusement park paid a lot of compensation. Since then, even in the dead of winter, that area was cordoned off.

Despite this, nothing could deter the enthusiasm of children playing in the winter or elderly fishing.

There would always be those who dared to venture out, betting on the slim chance.

If it were other children, with adults watching and commanding, it would be okay.

But Xiao Bao had run out on his own.

Not to mention, he rarely went out before.

If there were children playing there or elderly fishing, wouldn’t he find it new and exciting and want to watch?

Her heart beat faster and faster, as if intuition was already veering toward that worst direction.

Ye Li sprinted toward the lake.

A crowd had already gathered by the lake.

"Some say it’s a little boy, don’t know where the adults have gone, so irresponsible..."

"Someone, come quick..."

"Help!"

On the ice, broken pieces heaved violently, as if the person who had fallen in was struggling fiercely.

Those gathered nearby either clutched their own children tightly or cried out loudly for help.

At a glance, they were all either old, weak, or young.

"Hey, miss..."

The whistling cold wind blew past her cheek, and Ye Li could feel someone grabbing her.

But Ye Li already had no time to care.

Thump!

She flung off her down jacket and leaped into the fractured ice of Bing Lake with a splash.
