Pei Xin quickly turned her head to look out the window. She constantly reminded herself to be a strong mother.
She used her hands to wipe away her tears, but when she thought of her missing child, more tears flowed.
“Wipe your tears. You’re his mother.” That was what Lu Huai wanted to say.
He wanted her to be strong, but seeing Pei Xin constantly shaking her shoulders made him go silent.
He was just a little boy.
In the end, he changed his words. “1 still need you to contact the police later. They’ll do their best to find him with me around.”
Pei Xin took the tissue from his hand, wiped her tears, and blew her nose. She put the tissue in her hand in embarrassment. She knew that Lu Huai was a germaphobe.
Lu Huai frowned again. “Throw it away. Why are you still holding it after using it? Isn’t it dirty?”
The driver had a face full of question marks. He had to clean the car twice a day, and the seat cushion had to be washed and replaced regularly. Somehow, Lu Huai asked Pei Xin to throw the tissue that had been used to wipe her snot on the passenger seat!
He saw Lu Huai frowning in the rearview mirror and quickly took out the trash bag beside him. “Go on then.”
Pei Xin awkwardly threw the tissue in. At this moment, Lu Huai’s brows were furrowed and he closed his eyes.
Pei Xin did not dare to make another sound. She felt that CEO Lu must have disliked her for being too dirty and noisy just now.
The driver understood that as long as the dirty things were from Pei Xin, nothing mattered.
The forest park was a little far away, and it took them nearly 40 minutes to arrive.
Not only were the homeroom teacher and the school leaders present, but there were many police officers present.
There were indeed only two police officers at the beginning of the investigation, but Lu Huai had arranged for more people to follow them. The police had to abide by and arrange for a team of people, including Annie, to go over.
“Pei Xin! Over here!” Annie waved her hand.
Pei Xin rushed over. Annie was stunned when she saw Lu Huai, but she immediately took out her tablet and got straight to the point. “He must have gone to an undeveloped area. I’ve seen the surveillance cameras here. Someone must have called him, but the surveillance cameras didn’t capture the person.”
“Our boss has already sent people to search in that area, but the forest park is too big.” Annie was anxious.
Lu Huai was surrounded by the school staff and the police. They were all showing that they were taking this matter seriously.
However, Lu Huai only asked coldly, “Why was there a sketching session today? Who is the art teacher?”
The homeroom teacher quickly replied, “It was originally scheduled for tomorrow, but the art teacher is getting married soon. She wanted to finish her sketching class early and was afraid that she wouldn’t have time later to continue, so she changed the class to this morning.”
She turned around and looked at the group of people in the school. “Where’s Zhao Shuang? She was here just now. Why is she gone?”
Lu Huai tilted his head and glanced at Zhang Chao. The other party immediately understood what he meant and quickly walked to the corner to make a call.
In less than five minutes, Zhang Chao had already found a clue. “CEO Lu, Zhao Shuang received a transfer of 500,000 dollars last night. The person who transferred the money was Xu Ke. The teacher who was fired should be Xu Lian’s cousin.”
Lu Huai sneered. Xu Lian was being really persistent. He had already let her off, yet she still dared to play dirty tricks.
The police officer knew what step to take next. “We’ll investigate these people now. We’ll definitely find the child in the shortest time possible. Don’t worry, CEO Lu.”
Hearing that this matter was related to Xu Lian, Pei Xin almost lost her balance.
She had never deliberately targeted Xu Lian, so she did not expect Xu Lian to despise her. If she had known that Xu Lian would lay a hand on Ling Lin, she would not have retaliated that day.
Just as she was about to ask more, she received an anonymous phone call.
Pei Xin had a bad feeling. She quickly walked to the corner and carefully picked up the phone, but she didn’t say anything.
The other party used a voice changer. “Pei Xin, you must be anxious, right? Does it feel good to lose your son? Why aren’t you talking? Could it be that you don’t want to keep your son either? After all, he is a bastard child. Do you hate him?”
“Xu Lian, it must be you, right?” Pei Xin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice. “What do you want?”
The other party was silent for a moment. Xu Lian did not expect Pei Xin to piece two and two together so quickly.
However, Xu Lian was not st*pid enough to admit it over the phone. She knew how much Pei Xin cared about her son.
“Don’t call the police. Tell the school to retreat. Come to the cliff above the waterfall in Area Three of the forest park alone. Remember, come alone.. Otherwise-“
