Chapter 281: Clue from the Surveillance Camera
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
A car like this could be found everywhere, so it was difficult to find it immediately.
Li Nanchen sat beside Wu Mei and opened his laptop to observe the stock market of the Wu Corporation. It was a mess.
Today, Wu Mei had intended to go to the Corporation to instill confidence in the employees, but now, she couldn’t do anything.
“You…” When Li Nanchen turned to look at Wu Mei, his expression darkened.
Did Wu Mei hack into the city’s traffic network?
No one could be more daring than her.
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.” When Wu Mei looked at Li Nanchen, she wanted to appear calm and composed. However, she was too worried about Mother Wu’s safety, and her voice was trembling. All of a sudden, she could not hold back her sadness and reached out to Li Nanchen.
Li Nanchen immediately held Wu Mei in his arms and reached out to gently pat her back. He comforted her gently, “Don’t be anxious, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
Wu Mei wasn’t just ‘afraid’, she was also filled with hate.
She hated the fact that Wu Pang had no brains and was used by Mo Li. After being abandoned, he did not dare to seek revenge and only dared to take Mother Wu away.
“Don’t forget, we have many helpers,” Li Nanchen comforted her.
He was talking about the police who were searching for Wu Pang.
Wu Mei nodded, but she didn’t dare place all her hopes on the police. She had to do something too.
She took a deep breath and looked at the computer screen again. “Let me take another look. There might be a clue.”
Starting from the suspicious vehicles around the Li Family’s villa, she started to investigate. She did not believe that Wu Pang, who did not have anti-reconnaissance abilities, would be able to run that far with Mother Wu in tow.
Li Nanchen kissed her forehead. “I’ll get the servants to bring lunch up.”
Has it been that long?
Wu Mei’s fingers started to stiffen and her heart ached. Watching as Li Nanchen left the study room, she wiped away the tears that had yet to fall.
Half an hour later, from a surveillance camera in a convenience store, she saw Wu Pang wearing the assistant’s suit jacket and a baseball cap that didn’t fit him. Only the lower half of his face was visible. He bought a bag of food and crossed the road.
Wu Pang dropped the bag on the backseat and slammed the door shut.
Mother Wu must be sitting in the back seat.
Wu Mei watched every move Upang made, knowing her efforts would not go to waste.
She only heaved a sigh of relief when the scene of the bag being thrown appeared. Her eyes turned red.
She took special care of Mother Wu and cherished her. How dare Wu Pang treat her like this?
Wu Mei rushed downstairs with her laptop.
In the dining room downstairs, Old Master Li was frowning as he spoke to Li Nanchen. From his angle, he was the first to see Wu Mei and immediately asked, “Lass Mei, where are you going?”
Li Nanchen followed Old Master Li’s gaze and saw the anxious Wu Mei. He immediately ran over to stop her.
Wu Mei immediately explained softly to Li Nanchen, “I’ve found Mom. I’m going to save her now.”
“You’re going to look for her?” Li Nanchen raised his voice.
When Wu Mei saw his worried and angry expression, she realized that she had only been worried about Mother Wu’s safety but she did not take Li Nanchen’s feelings into account. She hurriedly tiptoed.
When Li Nanchen saw her move, he misunderstood and instinctively moved his face closer. In the end, Wu Mei only whispered to him, “No, we’re going together.”
She turned sideways and shouted at Old Master Li, “Grandpa, I’m hungry. I want Nanchen to bring me out to eat something.”
Without any hesitation, Old Master Li agreed, “Go on, go quickly.”
As long as it was a request from Wu Mei, Old Master Li wouldn’t refuse.
Wu Mei left the villa with Li Nanchen, who had a worried look on his face. They took a taxi and continued to track Wu Pang according to the location shown on the surveillance camera.
As her charming hands tapped on the keyboard, Li Nanchen noticed the “specialness” of the taxi.
It was one of the taxis that the drug dealers had driven when they carried out the transaction with Wu Pang and Manager Cheng.
Wu Mei suddenly said, “The plainclothes police will follow behind. Hopefully, Wu Pang won’t find out.”
In her eyes, Wu Pang was merely not smart enough, but it did not mean that he was not vigilant.
“You sit in the car and lure Wu Pang over. I’ll go save Mother Wu.” Li Nanchen wanted to hold Wu Mei’s hand, but he stopped when he was about to reach out.
He was afraid of hindering Wu Mei’s search.
Wu Mei wanted to agree with him, but when she thought about how Mother Wu might have been threatened or even beaten up by Wu Pang, Mother Wu might be too afraid to believe Li Nanchen if she saw him while in a state of confusion.
Her fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard a few times to calm her emotions. She lifted her head to look at Li Nanchen. “I think Mom will be very scared. She might not recognize you in her panic, so you should stay in the car and lure Wu Pang over. I’ll go save Mom.”
This was not a good decision.
Wu Pang was targeting Wu Mei. What if…
Wu Mei took the initiative to hold Li Nanchen’s hand and said gently, “Trust me!”
Li Nanchen did not answer and did not look at her again.
The car fell silent.
It wasn’t that Li Nanchen didn’t trust Wu Mei’s ability, but he was worried about her safety.
Wu Mei suppressed the anxiety in her heart and reached out to hug Li Nanchen.. She wanted Li Nanchen to feel at ease and at the same time, to feel warmth for herself.
