Chapter 466: Courtesy Demands Reciprocity

Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Courtesy Demands Reciprocity

Ning Yichu’s face suddenly changes dramatically, seemingly incredulous, as she tightly grips her phone.

"What’s going on? Isn’t my mom in the hospital? How could she suddenly disappear out of nowhere?"

Today at the mental hospital, according to the medical plan, they took Mrs. Ning to the hospital’s back garden for a walk.

Initially, everything was fine, but, unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, she was nowhere to be found, and the entire hospital showed no trace of her...

Doctor Zhang, sweating profusely, apologizes, "Sorry, Lady Ning, this is our negligence!"

Ning Yichu’s heart at this moment feels like it’s frying in a pan, restless and uneasy.

Her mother is mentally unstable, and now she has recklessly left the hospital; who knows what accidents might occur!

"Has the hospital checked the surveillance? From which direction did my mother run out?!"

Upon hearing this, Doctor Zhang’s face turns even more somber, "Lady Ning, the hospital’s surveillance at that time was cut off by someone; we can’t see anything, but we’ve already called the police and have initiated the search!"

Cut off by someone?

Could it be that her mother was taken away by someone?

In Ning Yichu’s mind, she immediately thinks of Li Jingtian; panic engulfs her heart, and her face turns even paler.

"You guys first search the vicinity of the hospital, I’ll come over right away!!"

"Okay, okay..."

"..."

Li Lingyang, holding Doudou, sees this scene from a distance and immediately senses something is wrong, quickly stepping over to her.

"Chu Chu, what’s happened?"

Doudou rarely sees Ning Yichu in such a state, her large watery eyes filled with worry.

"My mom suddenly disappeared from the mental hospital, and the hospital’s surveillance at that time was cut; it’s quite possible Li Jingtian did this to retaliate for what happened yesterday!"

Ning Yichu’s voice trembles.

Thinking about the injection Li Jingtian got yesterday, she feels on the brink of madness!

"Sorry Doudou, Mommy has something to take care of now and might need to leave for a while. Don’t be afraid, okay?"

Doudou, seeing Ning Yichu’s anxious appearance, realizes something serious has happened, although she feels a bit uncomfortable inside, she still tugs at her daddy’s clothes.

Li Lingyang’s eyes are locked on Ning Yichu, "Doudou, I’ll let Uncle Xu take you home first; Daddy is going to help, alright?"

Doudou promptly nods in agreement.

...

After leaving the medical building, Ning Yichu stands by the roadside trying to hail a cab, but private cars frequently pass by, and not a single taxi is in sight.

Feeling anxious and angry, she can’t help but call Li Jingtian!

After a long wait, the other side finally answers slowly, his voice carrying a hint of laziness and cheer.

"Lady Ning, how rare for you to think of calling me? Could it be you suddenly realize I’m better than Li Lingyang?"

Ning Yichu is dying to jump out of the screen and tear him apart, "Li Jingtian, cut the crap. Is this about my mom your doing?!"

Li Jingtian’s narrow eyes flicker with calculation, curling his lips as he speaks leisurely.

"Lady Ning, what are you talking about? I don’t understand. Your mother disappeared, how can you blame me? I only know that one should repay kindness with kindness; Lady Ning gave me a great gift yesterday, I must return the favor today."

So it is him!

"I was just asking about my mom, I didn’t say she disappeared! Still claiming it’s not you?"

"Oh~" Li Jingtian maintains his lazy tone, "I only heard that mental patients tend to get lost easily, so I casually guessed a disappearance, turns out it’s true..."

"Where is my mom right now?!"

Ning Yichu, nearly spewing fire from her eyes, "Li Jingtian, family should remain out of harm; my grudge is with you. If you want to do something, come at me. But if you dare harm a hair on my mom, I won’t let you get away with it!"

Li Jingtian raises a brow, ambiguously responds, "Since Lady Ning is so concerned about family, you should pay more attention to your mother to prevent a catastrophe!"

With that, the call is briskly terminated, leaving only a long string of busy tones...

Ning Yichu stares at the screen that went dark, her heart plummeting into the depths of a whirlpool, squeezed relentlessly, with no air.

Just then, a black Rolls-Royce stops in front of her.

The car window rolls down, revealing Li Lingyang’s exquisite and noble face. He coldly says, "Get in!"

"Where’s Doudou?"

Ning Yichu, burning with urgency, quickly opens the car door and gets in.

"I had Special Assistant Xu take her home first."

Li Lingyang glances at the woman beside him, his expression solemn, "Don’t worry too much. I’ve dispatched people to find your mother; we’ll definitely locate her!"

"It was Li Jingtian..."

Ning Yichu’s eyes overflow with hatred, gripping the seatbelt as she says, "This was done to retaliate for yesterday’s incident!"

She’d rather he target her than her mother!

"I’ve planted spies around him and have some substantial evidence. Rest assured, he won’t enjoy his time for long!"

Li Lingyang drives, his eyes shining with a determined cold light.

Thinking of her missing mother sends waves of panic through Ning Yichu’s heart; she takes several deep breaths to force herself to calm down and analyze.

In the call earlier, Li Jingtian mostly seemed to be warning her against opposing him.

At least that proves, for now, her mother should be safe...

The setting sun disappears beyond the horizon, and the Imperial City gradually darkens.

Ning Yichu rushes to the mental hospital.

There she sees Li Lingyang’s people gathered, the police, and the hospital’s own security...

All of them in a large-scale search, looking for Mrs. Ning!

The atmosphere at the scene seems to be coated with a layer of urgency.

"President Li, our people investigated nearby surveillance paths, and found Lady Ning’s mother’s figure on Weinan Road..." The bodyguard sees them and immediately comes over with a tablet to report progress.

Ning Yichu’s heart feels aflame, she rushes over quickly.

Indeed, on the screen, she sees her mother alone, looking confused and stumbling...

Across the way, numerous vehicles speed by, making hearts race and involuntarily tense!

Ning Yichu is breathless, genuinely fearing her mother might face such accidents...

She dares not pause for a second, promptly leading the police to search.

"Increase manpower immediately, whatever it takes, we must find my mother-in-law!"

After giving orders with a cold face, Li Lingyang swiftly follows that slender silhouette.

The sky gets darker, streetlights start to glow.

The vast group, armed with flashlights, all head to Weinan Road...

Beside this road stands the highway, with many vehicles driving on it, occasionally sounding their horns.

"Mrs. Ning!"

"Mom—"

Ning Yichu has already been searching here for half an hour.

Yet, she still can’t see her mother’s figure, her heart grows heavier, emotions nearing the brink of collapse...

"Chu Chu, don’t worry. We’ve not seen your mother’s figure on other surveillance paths—we’re sure she’s still nearby. Why don’t you have some water in the car, take a rest, I’ll continue. I promise, we’ll bring your mom back safe and sound!"

Li Lingyang looks at her pale face, full of sympathy in his eyes, earnestly assures her.

Ning Yichu shakes her head, insistently says, "I want to keep searching myself..."

She must see her mother safe with her own eyes!
