Without overthinking, I held Che Che’s hand and got into the car.
Returning to Jing Yuan, the housekeeper was cooking. Murong Cheng had not returned.
This was strange…
Wasn’t Ruo Ruo picked up by Murong Cheng? He usually picked her up for meals before taking her back to the Murong family residence. Why hadn’t I seen Ruo Ruo today?
“Auntie, has Murong Cheng been back?”
“The master hasn’t returned. When I arrived at three in the afternoon, I was the only one here…”
Jiang Shiyu frowned and called Murong Cheng. The man seemed to be in a meeting and didn't answer.
Unable to rest easy, Jiang Shiyu called the Murong family’s old residence. The servant replied in surprise, “Miss Ruo Ruo? She hasn’t returned. Shouldn’t she still be at kindergarten at this hour? Madam, didn’t you pick up Miss Ruo Ruo?”
This was bad.
Jiang Shiyu hung up the phone and immediately called the kindergarten teacher, asking her to check the surveillance footage and send it over.
While waiting, I kept calling Murong Cheng.
Murong Cheng would be very busy in Port City that afternoon. Since I couldn’t get through, Jiang Shiyu simply called An Yan.
An Yan’s call went through immediately.
Upon hearing what Jiang Shiyu said on the phone, An Yan was startled. “I’ll inform the President right away. Madam, please wait a moment.”
An Yan took her phone and went directly into the conference room, handing the phone to Murong Cheng.
Murong Cheng stopped speaking, made a gesture, then picked up the phone and walked out.
“A Cheng, Ruo Ruo might have been taken away. I don’t know who it was. I’m asking the teacher to retrieve the surveillance footage now…”
Jiang Shiyu’s mind was in chaos.
The man paused. Even without speaking, I could feel that the man on the other end of the phone had understood the entire situation.
“Don’t worry yet. I’ll have my people look for her. Perhaps Su Zi Yue picked her up and didn’t return to Rong Residence.”
The man’s gentle persuasion and comfort finally calmed Jiang Shiyu down a little.
After hanging up, Jiang Shiyu’s heart was still in turmoil.
Unexpectedly, not long after hanging up, Su Zi Yue called.
“Where is Ruo Ruo? Is Ruo Ruo with you? Did you pick up Ruo Ruo?” Jiang Shiyu spoke before Su Zi Yue could say anything.
“Ruo Ruo? Didn’t you pick up Ruo Ruo from kindergarten? After Ruo Ruo started kindergarten, I haven’t been there. I don’t even know where Ruo Ruo’s kindergarten is. What are you joking about? You wouldn’t have lost Ruo Ruo… Jiang Shiyu! If anything happens to Ruo Ruo! You’ve harmed my daughter, and I won’t let this go!”
Su Zi Yue’s emotions instantly became agitated, and she cursed angrily through the phone.
Jiang Shiyu hung up.
My mood was already chaotic enough. Hearing Su Zi Yue’s hysterical voice, I felt my head was about to explode.
I had no appetite for food. Fearing Che Che would worry, I forced myself to eat a little with him.
Fortunately, Che Che was tired from playing today. After eating and bathing, he soon became sleepy.
“Mommy, where is Ruo Ruo sister?”
Lying in his small bed, Che Che’s eyes were too heavy to open, yet he was still concerned about Ruo Ruo.
“Ruo Ruo sister is with Auntie Su. She’ll be back soon. You don’t need to worry. Go to sleep early, and you’ll see Ruo Ruo sister tomorrow morning, okay?”
Che Che nodded obediently and gradually fell asleep.
Jiang Shiyu closed the bedroom door and heard the sound of the door opening downstairs.
The man had clearly rushed back. His hair was slightly disheveled, and even his usually immaculate clothes were creased.
“Where is Ruo Ruo?”
Jiang Shiyu hurried downstairs, almost falling.
The man quickly stepped forward and supported her, preventing Jiang Shiyu from falling to the ground.
“Ruo Ruo was picked up by a stranger. The kindergarten said it was someone from the Murong family. My subordinates are now tracking her using surveillance footage, but the person who kidnapped Ruo Ruo is too cunning. They’ve avoided surveillance blind spots several times, and even avoided the highway, driving into remote country roads in the suburbs.”
“Will Ruo Ruo be in danger, like Hao Hao…”
Who was it, time and time again? Last time it was Hao Hao, and this time it was Ruo Ruo. If Ruo Ruo hadn’t appeared, would the person kidnapped now be Hao Hao!
“I’m here, don’t worry.”
The warmth in the man’s embrace gave Jiang Shiyu a little peace.
Held by the man on the sofa, I soon fell into a daze. When I woke up again, it was five in the morning. The sky hadn’t dawned yet. I was lying in the bedroom, and the side of the bed was empty.
Going downstairs, An Yan was sitting on the living room sofa. Seeing Jiang Shiyu awake, she said, “You’re awake! I made porridge. The President asked me to take good care of you. He’s already investigating and told you not to worry or rush.”
As An Yan spoke, she served Jiang Shiyu a bowl of porridge, her favorite preserved egg and lean meat congee.
Jiang Shiyu sat down and slowly finished a bowl of porridge.
“Madam, you don’t need to worry too much. Our President is very capable. If Miss Ruo Ruo is missing, he would turn all of Hai Cheng upside down to find her.”
An Yan’s eyes were full of admiration and worship. For such a perfect man, what woman wouldn’t love him?
Jiang Shiyu held a mouthful of water.
Hearing what An Yan said, as she swallowed, it felt like swallowing a stone, and she choked inexplicably.
Yes, such a perfect man. Which woman wouldn’t dream of marrying such a man?
Except when she was jealous, he never lost his temper with me at other times.
Jiang Shiyu held the water cup in her hand, her thoughts drifting.
Such a good man, and he was her husband.
“Madam, you married the man that women all over the country dream of marrying. I don’t know how many women secretly envy and are jealous of you. Perhaps it’s out of jealousy that they kidnapped Ruo Ruo.”
An Yan’s words flowed endlessly, no less than Xiao Hong.
How could she not know?
Jiang Shiyu chuckled. Of course, she knew this man’s goodness better than anyone.
However, her heart still couldn’t let go of Ruo Feng, couldn’t let go of Si Han.
After Jiang Dehai’s matter was settled, she would explain things clearly to Murong Cheng.
Murong Cheng didn’t return all day. He only called at noon to tell her to eat and rest on time, and then there was no further news.
Opening the television, there were no reports about Ruo Ruo’s disappearance.
Murong Cheng had completely sealed off the news. Apart from the Murong family, almost no one knew about this matter.
All Jiang Shiyu could do was wait.
In the afternoon, Jiang Shiyu woke up groggily. The first thing she did was check her phone. There were still no calls or messages from Murong Cheng.
Seeing Jiang Shiyu awake, An Yan stood up abruptly. “Madam, did you tell anyone about Ruo Ruo’s disappearance?”
Jiang Shiyu was stunned. “Told anyone? What’s going on?”
“The news of Ruo Ruo’s disappearance, I don’t know who spread it. The wind leaked, and now it’s causing a huge stir, even making the news. Ling Sheng Group’s public relations department has temporarily suppressed this matter, but the impact is not small…”
Listening to An Yan, a person suddenly flashed in Jiang Shiyu’s mind.
It must be her.
