CHAPTER 297: CHAPTER 297: LENG YIXING, XIN’ER IS MISSING

Police officer: "What are you doing?"

"I am looking for something~ Ah! Police officer, look, it’s empty here."

The police officer immediately ran over, pulled aside the wooden board, and a short staircase appeared, with the light on, but the full situation was unclear.

After a moment of silence, the police officer said to Zhuang Shuqing: "You stay here, I’ll go and call for backup." Then he ran out.

But how could Zhuang Shuqing obediently wait here just like that?

She glanced at the disappearing police officer and without hesitation, she ventured down into the basement.

Below was just one room, she used the only key she had to unlock the door, it opened to an empty room.

Zhuang Shuqing just stood there stunned.

The room was as simple as it could possibly be, lacking many essentials, the only trace proving someone had lived here was the bed.

The quilt was slightly lifted, the bedspread was wrinkled, and the pillow had an indentation, other than that, there was nothing else.

She just stood rigidly at the doorway, gazing unblinkingly at the wrinkles on the bed.

The police arrived with back-up, catching this scene with Lu Jinyang following behind them.

"Hey, what is it with you, the babysitter? I asked you to stay outside, why did you run down here?"

Zhuang Shuqing turned around woodenly, her gaze resting on the police officer who came down with her, "She is gone."

"Who is gone?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinyang’s eyebrows furrowed tightly together, they had only been out for a moment and hadn’t seen Qin Huaixin being taken away, logically, she should still be at the Leng Family’s house, but why wasn’t she here?

The police officer wanted to ask more, but he saw Zhuang Shuqing suddenly rush backward; he couldn’t stop her in time and watched as she threw herself into someone’s arms, startling him so he immediately yelled at her.

"Miss, please have some self-respect! Let go of Major Lu immediately, thank you for your cooperation!"

Zhuang Shuqing didn’t care about him, among the crowd she only saw him, she threw herself into his arms, overwhelmed with sadness.

Lu Jinyang gently patted her back, pulling her into his embrace amid the stunned crowd.

"It’s okay, trust me."

The police officer’s mouth was agape enough to fit an egg, he said, "Major Lu, this babysitter, no, this woman is your..."

"My wife."

"..."

Good heavens, the Major actually let his own woman be a babysitter.

No, that’s not right, the Lu Family is not short of money, why would he let his own woman be a babysitter?

And what did they say just now?

Trust him?

By the time the police officer came to his senses, Lu Jinyang had already left the Leng Family’s house holding her, getting into the car and driving away.

"What to do? Lu Jinyang, Xin’er is no longer there, what to do?"

Lu Jinyang looked helplessly at the hand on his arm, "Calm down first, we’ll figure it out when we meet Leng Yixing."

Hearing that, Zhuang Shuqing gradually regained her composure, but her hand on her knee still unconsciously clenched tighter.

In the private room of No.9 Mansion, as soon as the door opened, Leng Yixing immediately stood up and rushed to the door.

"How did it go?" he asked.

"She wasn’t there."

What?!

Leng Yixing couldn’t believe what he had heard, he asked again, "What did you say just now, I couldn’t hear clearly."

This time, it was Zhuang Shuqing who answered him.

"Leng Yixing, Xin’er is missing, didn’t you say she was in the basement? But when I went there, she was already gone."
