She glanced at Tangtang, whom she was holding by the hand, and noticed Tangtang had finished her grilled sausage. Tangtang tugged at her and said, "Tiantian hasn't come out yet. I'm going in to find her. Wait for me by the entrance, and don't wander off."
Tangtang nodded obediently.
Susu handed her the cotton candy she was holding and immediately went into the women's restroom. However, she searched everywhere but couldn't find Tiantian.
Had she already left the restroom on her own?
Susu instantly panicked. The amusement park was huge, and there were so many people. It was easy for Tiantian to get lost if she wasn't with an adult.
Her legs felt weak, and she quickly asked others in the restroom if they had seen a little girl, but everyone said they hadn't paid attention.
Just then, Tangtang rushed into the restroom holding the cotton candy and shouted at Susu, "Mommy! I saw an auntie carrying Tiantian away. Tiantian was lying on her shoulder like she was asleep!"
Susu immediately grabbed Tangtang and ran out of the restroom, anxiously asking, "Which direction did you see that auntie carrying Tiantian go?"
Tangtang pointed towards the amusement park's main entrance and said, "That way, she went that way."
Susu hurriedly picked up Tangtang and sprinted through the crowd at the speed of a hundred-meter race, chasing towards the main entrance.
But even after she exited the main gate, she couldn't see the woman Tangtang mentioned carrying Tiantian. Could it be a human trafficker?
Had the trafficker already taken Tiantian away from the amusement park and gone somewhere else?
Susu was terrified. She ran back and forth near the amusement park's main entrance with Tangtang like a madwoman, asking everyone she met if they had seen a little girl around four years old wearing a pink dress.
But no one could give her a definite answer. She wanted to drive to find Tiantian, but she didn't know where to go or how to search!
"Mommy! Mommy! Did the bad guys take Tiantian? I'm scared, so scared..." Tangtang cried, hugging her neck tightly.
Susu then realized she was still holding Tangtang. Her arms were already very sore, but she couldn't feel the pain at all.
Her phone suddenly rang. She quickly put Tangtang down, took out her phone, and desperately hoped it was a kind person calling to say Tiantian was fine and asking her to pick her up.
"Young Madam, where are you with Tiantian and the others? I can't see you," came Xiaomei's voice from the other end of the phone.
After Xiaoxing and Hengheng had played the rides they wanted, they told Xiaomei they wanted to find their mother. Xiaomei led Xiaoxing and the others to where Susu had taken Tiantian and the others, but after searching, she couldn't find them, so she called Susu's phone.
When Susu heard Xiaomei's voice, she felt a wave of disappointment. She said woodenly, "I'm at the main entrance. Come to the main entrance."
Xiaomei felt Susu's voice was a bit off. She quickly brought Xiaoxing and the others to the main entrance to meet Susu.
But she only saw Tangtang standing there crying, holding the cotton candy.
Susu, on the other hand, looked like she had lost her soul, grabbing people and asking them questions.
Xiaomei went to comfort Tangtang and asked, "Fourth Miss, what happened? Where is Third Miss?"
"Auntie Xiaomei, Tiantian was taken away," Tangtang said, crying.
Xiaomei was shocked. The Young Master cherished Tiantian the most. She also panicked, not knowing what to do.
Susu felt like she was about to break down. Just then, Tianyi called.
"Are you and the children still at the amusement park? I've finished my work and am coming to find you now."
Susu's voice trembled as she said, "Tian... Tianyi, I lost Tiantian..."
"What? What did you say? I didn't hear clearly," Tianyi thought he had misheard.
"Tiantian is missing... She went to the restroom, and I waited by the restroom door, but she's still gone..."
Tianyi knew she wasn't joking. He roared, "Call the police! Find the amusement park's broadcast room and announce a search!"
He also became extremely anxious and immediately rushed out of his office, driving at full speed to the amusement park.
Susu snapped back to reality, realizing this was not the time to be scared and break down. She quickly made a police call and asked Xiaomei to take the remaining children to the car to wait.
She then rushed back into the park alone and found the broadcast room.
As soon as Tianyi arrived at the amusement park's entrance, he saw the RV Susu had driven.
He ran towards it like a madman, pulled open the car door, and saw Xiaomei, Xiaoxing, and the others sitting inside with nervous expressions. Susu and Tiantian were nowhere to be seen.
"Did you find Tiantian?"
Xiaomei saw his red eyes and frightening demeanor and said with a trembling voice, "Young Master, Young Madam went into the amusement park to search... She hasn't found her yet."
"How exactly did she get lost?" Tianyi questioned again.
Xiaomei wiped her tears and said, "I don't know. I was with the young masters at the time."
Tianyi heard the search announcement coming from the amusement park. He slammed the car door shut and also ran into the amusement park.
He quickly found the broadcast room and saw Susu squatting by the door, covering her forehead in despair and helplessness.
Tianyi was very angry that she hadn't watched the child properly, but seeing her like this, he knew that what had happened couldn't be changed.
Blaming her further would only make an already unfortunate situation more miserable.
Tianyi also squatted down, hugged her, and let her rest her head on his shoulder, saying, "I'm here. It'll be okay. We'll go check the surveillance footage, and we'll definitely find Tiantian."
Leaning on Tianyi's shoulder, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
She was truly terrified. The thought of Tiantian being taken away by human traffickers was simply unbearable.
Susu regretted bringing the children to the amusement park. If they hadn't come to play, Tiantian wouldn't be missing.
"I'm sorry, I didn't watch the child properly. It's my fault, all my fault!"
Tianyi pulled her up and held her tightly, saying, "No one wants this to happen. You couldn't have predicted it, so don't blame yourself. Be strong, and let's continue to look for Tiantian."
"Okay," Susu choked back her tears.
She also knew that being sad and upset was useless. The most urgent thing was to find Tiantian as quickly as possible.
Susu calmed down and went with Tianyi to meet the police officers who had arrived to investigate.
Tianyi instructed Xiaolin to take the children back first and have bodyguards guard the villa twenty-four hours a day, preventing any strangers from entering.
After receiving the report, police officers arrived and, together with them, they reviewed the surveillance footage.
The footage showed a woman carrying Tiantian, but the woman was wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, so her face was completely obscured.
Furthermore, the woman intentionally avoided the cameras, so only a small portion of her video footage could be captured. They had no idea which car she took after leaving the amusement park or in which direction she went.
From the available surveillance footage, Tiantian did not struggle no matter how the woman held her, which indeed seemed like she was asleep, just as Tangtang had said.
However, both Susu and Tianyi knew that she wasn't asleep; she had likely been drugged into unconsciousness or fainted.
Tianyi could not hide his anger. He stared at the surveillance footage with a fierce expression, vowing to bring anyone who dared to harm his daughter to eternal damnation!
