Chapter 67: Chapter 67: How Could She Not Worry
Supporting Jiang Yue into the elevator, neither of them said a word.
Yu Tian also didn’t particularly like Ye Xinluo, but it was merely a matter of disapproval. It was obvious to everyone that Ye Xinluo had a close relationship with Lan Shan, so many people in the office didn’t like her, but with Lan Shan around, no one dared to act.
No one dared to openly offend Ye Xinluo; offending her would undeniably offend Lan Shan too.
With the Lan Group behind her, everyone avoided Ye Xinluo.
This time, with Jiang Yue challenging Ye Xinluo, it was uncertain whether it would be a blessing or a curse.
But one thing was certain, Jiang Yue had also offended Lan Shan in the process.
....
Ye Xinluo and Lan Shan arrived at People’s Square and saw Housekeeper Ning standing not far away. He also noticed them and walked briskly towards them.
"Miss Ye, Miss Lan." He greeted them respectfully and then, with an apologetic look, addressed Ye Xinluo, "I’m sorry, Miss Ye. I failed to protect Young Master Jingxi. Please punish me."
Before they had arrived, he had already called Gong Shaoyu because, before he came to Z City, Gong Shaoyu had explicitly instructed him to notify immediately if anything happened to Miss Ye.
"Housekeeper Ning, what happened? How could Jingxi suddenly disappear?" Ye Xinluo was anxious. She was very worried about what might happen to Jingxi. The most urgent task was to find out the details of what had happened.
"Today, I went to pick up Young Master from school. He said he wanted to eat Snowy Mochi, so I brought him here. Just after buying the mochi and preparing to leave, a group of men in black blocked my way.
Those men in black were all skilled fighters, and I couldn’t overpower them. They took the young master away. Miss Ye, I’m sorry, truly sorry."
Housekeeper Ning was also extremely anxious at this moment. He regretted not letting Jingxi wait in the car, which might have prevented such an incident.
"No need to apologize. You take care of Jingxi for me regularly, and I’m grateful enough; how could I blame you?"
Housekeeper Ning had done so much to care for them that she couldn’t bear to blame him now.
The most urgent task now was to quickly find Jingxi.
Ye Xinluo frowned slightly. To be able to take Jingxi away in a crowded place without any whispers was concerning. Who was this person, and why did they take Jingxi?
At that moment, her mind was a mess, and she couldn’t make sense of it.
"Xinluo, do you have any enemies here, or anyone who particularly dislikes you?" Lan Shan asked, having thought the situation through. Taking Jingxi and leaving Housekeeper Ning there suggested that the real target was Jingxi.
Since Jingxi was only a three-year-old child, the only possibility was that they were actually targeting Xinluo, with Jingxi just being part of it. Besides an enemy’s doing, Lan Shan couldn’t think of any other possibility.
Ye Xinluo racked her brains trying to think, but suddenly had a flash of insight, "Could it be Jiang Yue?"
"She doesn’t have such capabilities," Lan Shan replied confidently.
Even if Jiang Yue’s uncle was the mayor, she wouldn’t dare to openly take someone in broad daylight.
If she had, she wouldn’t have caused trouble for Xinluo at the company today. Clearly, it was impossible for Jiang Yue to have taken Jingxi, and she wouldn’t have the guts to do so.
"Besides her, I can’t think of anyone else."
Housekeeper Ning stood by, replaying the situation in his mind. Having served the Gong Family for many years, he had some self-defense skills. When those men took Jingxi, they had not used excessive force, indicating their aim was only to take Jingxi away. With this in mind, Housekeeper Ning suggested, "Miss Ye, why don’t we report this to the police?"
Ye Xinluo didn’t speak; her mind was in chaos, unable to think of any solutions. Her body felt unstable, almost collapsing several times, only to be caught by Lan Shan in time.
"No, if we report it now, the police won’t respond. The person must be missing for 48 hours before they’ll act."
"Then what do we do?" Ye Xinluo was in a bit of a panic. She had never faced such an issue before and was momentarily at a loss.
Lan Shan thought for a while before speaking, "We can go to the police station and file a missing persons report."
"But isn’t it also 48 hours before they can open a case for a missing person? The missing person’s report should be the same, right?" Housekeeper Ning didn’t particularly agree with her suggestion. It wasn’t unwillingness to find Jingxi but rather a lack of confidence in Z City’s police.
Lan Shan smiled faintly, "I know, but I’m part of the Lan Family. If they won’t act, posting a missing person’s notice should be feasible." She implied using the Lan Family’s influence to help find Jingxi.
When Lan Shan joined the Beichen Group, she explicitly told her father that unless she wished to return to the Lan Group, she would not use the family’s influence.
Her father had no control over his daughter, allowing her to go her own way. But this time, to find Jingxi, Lan Shan had no choice. She would explain to her father later if needed.
"Xinluo, let’s go to the police station," she said, supporting Ye Xinluo as they walked towards the car. Housekeeper Ning quickly spoke up, "Miss Lan, take my car. I’ll drive, and you can accompany Miss Ye."
Lan Shan nodded, helping Ye Xinluo into Housekeeper Ning’s car.
Once they were all in the car, Housekeeper Ning got into the driver’s seat, started the engine, and headed to the nearest police station.
Lan Shan called the family butler, asking him to drive their car back home.
After the call, she turned to look at Ye Xinluo. At the moment, she was leaning her head against the window, staring blankly outside. Lan Shan moved closer, straightening her up to lean on her shoulder.
"Xinluo, don’t worry, Jingxi will be alright." She knew saying that wouldn’t ease Xinluo’s mind, but before finding Jingxi, no one could afford to collapse.
Jingxi was her godson; how could she not be worried? But Lan Shan understood that Xinluo was panicking, and she had to remain clear-headed since Xinluo needed her.
If she were to dispirit herself, Xinluo would be even less able to pull herself together.
"Xinluo, once we reach the police station, we’ll see if we can file a case. Don’t worry, Jingxi will surely be found!"
Ye Xinluo did not respond. She was exhausted and sleepy, desperately wanting to rest. But the moment she closed her eyes, she thought of Jingxi, not knowing how he was right now.
