Chapter 181: He’s Still A Child
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“When did this happen? How long has it been?” Pei Xin asked anxiously.
On the other end of the phone, Ling Jin started muttering. When he came back from work, he realized that he was not at home. He thought that he might have gone to play around, but no matter where he looked, Ling Lin could not be found.
He knew that Pei Xin had important work that day, so he restrained from calling her.
However, it was already past midnight, and he still could not find Ling Lin. When he saw that the live had ended, he quickly contacted Pei Xin.
“He wasn’t at home when I came back from work. I’ve already asked the neighbors, but 1 still have no idea where he is.” Ling Jin blamed himself, but there was nothing he could do. “What should we do now? Should we call the police?”
When he said that he would call the police, he spoke with hesitation.
He knew that if those people had kidnapped the child, it would be useless even if he called the police.
“Not yet.” Pei Xin also thought the same as him. Perhaps this was another trick from the Pei family.
She took a deep breath and calmed herself down a little. “1’11 come as soon as possible. Wait for me at home.”
Pei Xin stumbled out of the live room as she spoke. Tian Yuan called her a few times from behind, but she didn’t get a response.
“Hurry up, hurry up!” Seeing that the elevator was still on the 30th floor, Pei Xin kept pressing the elevator button.
Lu Huai walked over with a frown. “What’s going on?”
“CEO Lu.” Pei Xin was shocked. Her phone fell to the ground and she automatically dialed Ling Jin’s number.
“Is there any news about Ling Lin? Did you find him?” Ling Jin’s voice rang out, and Lu Huai’s frown deepened.
He had nothing to do today and planned to leave early. However, after knowing that Pei Xin had an early live today, he chose to stay. He did not expect the live to be so successful even among the drama.
Thinking of Pei Xin’s adorable son, Lu Huai lowered his head and looked at his pants. It seemed like the little guy’s snot and tears were still on them.
“Take my elevator.” Lu Huai turned around.
Pei Xin was stunned for a moment, but she immediately followed.
Lu Huai had his private elevator. Usually, he would use it only when there was an emergency.
In the elevator, Pei Xin kept looking at her phone, but she didn’t know where to start. She thought of Lu Huai and Lu Li. Was Lu Li up to something again?
“Just ask what you want.” Perhaps he felt that his tone was too stiff, so Lu Huai added, “I’ll help you find him.”
Pei Xin quickly thanked him, “Thank you, CEO Lu, but is Lu Li…”
She didn’t know how to bring it up. Although she knew that the two brothers didn’t have a good relationship, they were still blood brothers after all. Would they side with an outsider like her?
“It can’t be Lu Li. He’s at the police station and can’t even protect himself right now.” Lu Li had asked his men to keep an eye on his brother. He was probably going crazy at the police station. How could he have time to care about Pei Xin and her child?
As soon as the elevator reached the first floor, Pei Xin rushed out, completely ignoring Lu Huai.
Lu Huai unknowingly followed her, but when he saw Pei Xin immediately hail a taxi without turning back to look at him, he suddenly felt a little disappointed.
This woman usually looked soft and weak, but she looked steadfast right now. Why didn’t she ask him for help when her child was missing?
How could Pei Xin, who was in the taxi, have time to think about Lu Huai? If it wasn’t Lu Li, then the Pei Family was most likely the culprit.
Thinking about how Ling Xue had been trying to suppress her during her live, and even starting scandals of her selling fake goods, she started to spiral.
Ling Xue, on the other hand, was busy fuming. “Pei Xin, I’m warning you. 1’11 find a way to ruin you. You’re at most a small tiny internet celebrity streamer. Do you think that-”
Ling Xue thought that her plan was flawless and that the trolls would make Pei Xin a notorious liar. However, she did not expect Pei Xin to have a backup plan to save herself.
One had to know that Ling Xue had spent a lot of money to find these trolls to harm her. Now, not only did she lose a lot of money, but these people might also expose her if they were jailed.
She couldn’t take it anymore, so she called Pei Xin. “Listen here Pei Xin, you owe me. This is what you and your mother owe me. You will never be able to repay it in this lifetime!”
Pei Xin’s tears flowed out.. “So is that why you took Ling Lin away? He’s still a child!”
