Chapter 481 - 231. ’President Mu, Yu Qinglu has kidnapped your son.
In that moment, it was as if thousands of bees swarmed into Nan Wan’s mind, buzzing incessantly.It seemed like she heard nothing, yet information did enter her brain.
Steadying herself against the tree trunk, she frowned at the panicked servant in front of her and hoarsely asked, "Wha-what?"
The servant knelt directly on the stone path, crying, "Madam, I’m sorry! It was really only two or three minutes, and the faucet was right beside me. But after washing Miss Qingqing’s hands, I turned around to find the stroller empty, and I..."
Nan Wan’s face gradually turned pale. She had no patience to listen to the servant’s incoherent explanation.
But as she started to move, her legs gave out, and she fell directly to the ground, the sound of her knees hitting the stone slabs audible even to the sobbing servant.
"Madam, are you hurt?"
The servant, frightened, hurried over to help her, but Nan Wan seemed oblivious to the pain, shaking off the servant’s hand and standing up by pushing against the ground.
Jiu Jiu is missing...
How is that possible?
Just ten minutes ago she had given her son something to drink, so how could he... be missing.
The distance from the restroom to that plane tree wasn’t far, yet Nan Wan fell three times during the entire process, her knees a ghastly sight, bleeding bright red blood.
Most of the residents sunbathing in the garden were elderly, anxious but helpless, while Qingqing sat on a bench crying uncontrollably, her small face covered with tears.
But Nan Wan couldn’t hear anything, stumbling over to them.
Then, she saw that in Jiu Jiu’s stroller, there was only a blue insulated water bottle.
Her body felt as rigid as if she had just emerged from an ice cellar, her knuckles gripping the stroller handle turning white, lips parting to produce a hoarse voice after some effort, "Aunt Gu, Uncle Li, did either of you see someone unfamiliar take Jiu Jiu?"
With so many eyes watching, how could Jiu Jiu just disappear like that...
Uncle Li apologized, "I’m sorry, Xiao Nan. Just now my granddaughter was performing for everyone, so maybe no one paid much attention."
"These criminals are really lawless. In broad daylight, they dare to steal a child! Aren’t the community gatekeepers paid to do anything?"
"Exactly, we should hurry and report this to property management. Who knows which family will suffer next!"
The neighbor helping look after Pea ran over to Nan Wan, anxiously saying, "Nan Wan, quickly call the police. The trafficker probably hasn’t gone far."
The surrounding elders nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, call the police! There are surveillance cameras throughout the community, they can’t escape."
The flustered servant quickly found Nan Wan’s phone from the bag on the bench, handing it to her tremblingly, "Madam, here’s your phone."
The surrounding noises were overwhelmingly chaotic, yet at this moment Nan Wan was exceptionally calm.
This is one of the few high-end communities in Qing City. Many big-name celebrities chose to live here because of the excellent security at the North Shore Villa District.
Security guards are on duty 24/7, the surveillance facilities are comprehensive, there’s no way traffickers could have sneaked in.
So, who could have taken Jiu Jiu...
Nan Wan took the phone handed over by the servant, her delicate brows and eyes extremely cold, "Take An Ge and Qingqing home."
The servant quickly nodded, "Oh oh, okay."
She was so calm that it took everyone by surprise.
Mu Qingqing climbed down from the bench, ran over to hug Nan Wan’s leg, and cried, "Auntie, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have wanted to go out and play..."
She was terrified. What if her brother could never be found again?
She hugged tightly, and Nan Wan couldn’t loosen her grip. With patience, she patted her head, softly comforting, "Qingqing, be good, don’t cry, this isn’t your fault. Go home with Auntie, eat obediently, and wait for your dad to pick you up."
Of course, it wasn’t Qingqing’s fault.
The other party was in the shadows, whether it was her and Mu Jin Huan, or Jiu Jiu and An Ge, they were all exposed. The other party was probably well-prepared, just waiting for the right moment.
When Jiu Jiu would be kidnapped was only a matter of when the opportunity arose.
Qingqing cried until she was out of breath, with snot sticking to her mouth, "Why would the bad people steal my brother?"
"Alright, Qingqing," Nan Wan took a deep breath and bent down to pat Qingqing’s back, "If you keep holding onto me like this, I won’t be able to go find your brother."
Upon hearing this, Qingqing let go of Nan Wan, stepping far back, holding back her tears, "Auntie, go quickly, I’ll be good."
