Chapter 197: Disapearing Again
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Pei Xin had already become a live-streamer working with the Lu Corporation. Other than choosing a model, she also had to prepare the whole planning process. Her workload had increased dramatically.
However, she was not too dissatisfied. She knew that she needed more bargaining chips to win over her son. If her income was high and she was the child’s biological mother, it would be much easier to fight for custody.
During the meeting with the brand before the live, Tian Yuan hurriedly knocked on the door and barged into the conference room.
“I’ll be there in a second. I’m having a meeting right now.” Pei Xin nodded at her, indicating for Tian Yuan to calm down.
She could see that Tian Yuan was anxious, but she couldn’t leave the brand’s people behind.
Tian Yuan was so anxious that she shuffled her feet. Lu Huai gave Zhang Chao a look, and Zhang Chao immediately chased her to the side.
“This is extremely urgent. I didn’t barge in on purpose.” Tian Yuan’s voice was low, but she was silently screaming. “Pei Xin’s son went missing in the forest park.”
Her voice was very soft, but everyone in the meeting room heard her. Pei Xin twitched and broke the pencil in her hand.
Lu Huai stood up. “Everyone, I’m sorry for cutting things short. I have something urgent to deal with Pei Xin. After the meeting, we have booked a restaurant and a hot spring for you all to enjoy. We’ll meet at the clubhouse. I’ll apologize to everyone properly then.”
Who dared to stop Lu Huai? The people from the brand also nodded, expressing their understanding. After all, everyone was worried about their children.
“You and Zhou Yu can host the meeting,” Lu Huai said to Liu Yan. “Bring them to the clubhouse.”
Liu Yan nodded quickly. He knew that Lu Huai would not sit still if something happened to Pei Xin.
Almost everyone present had a question. Why did Pei Xin’s son go missing and Lu Huai go out with her?
Was he close to this woman?
Moreover, Lu Huai was famous for being afraid of trouble. Now, he was willing to jump into the fire. Could something be going on between those two?
Originally, the brand was not very satisfied with Pei Xin, who had been in prison. They felt that the two companies did not attach much importance to this cooperation. If it were not for Pei Xin’s high traffic, they would not have agreed.
Today, however, they gained new knowledge. It seemed that this Pei Xin had a special place in CEO Lu’s heart.
Pei Xin left the meeting room in a hurry, and Tian Yuan quickly came over with her phone. “The school has called you a few times. This is an emergency. The teacher said that she brought the children to the forest park to sketch today, but when she returned, she realized that Ling Lin disappeared.”
Ever since the incident last time, all the teachers have taken even more care of Ling Lin. Especially after the previous class teacher was fired, everyone was even more afraid that something would happen to him.
Pei Xin quickly called the teacher and found out that the art teacher had brought the children to the forest park that day. At that time, there was also a deputy class teacher on duty.
Ling Lin was there when he was sketching, but when the teacher left to count the number of children, the child was gone.
“The school has already called the police. We’re still looking for him in the forest park. If it’s convenient for you, it would be best if you can make it here.” The homeroom teacher must have been running for a long time, and her breathing was a little uneven.
However, she did not dare to neglect this child. Xu Ke had been fired last time and had yet to find a job in the education industry. She did not want to follow in her footsteps.
“Alright, I’ll take a leave of absence now and go over immediately.” Pei Xin was burning with anxiety.
She turned around and wanted to ask for leave from Lu Huai, but the other party had already started giving out orders, “Zhang Chao, prepare the car to go to the forest park.”
He was the first to press the elevator button. When he turned around, he realized that Pei Xin had not followed him. “Follow me.”
“Alright!” Pei Xin couldn’t care less about formalities and hurriedly followed him into the elevator.
She did not want to trouble Lu Huai, but she knew that many places in the forest park had not been developed. There were no surveillance cameras — to find a child there was to find a needle in a haystack.
If Lu Huai had been there, the police might have helped him out of respect.
She regretted giving her child a watch or a phone.
Lu Huai ignored her after getting into the car. Instead, he quickly sent a message on his phone.
After a few minutes, he turned to look at Pei Xin. “My men have already checked the surveillance cameras. He can be found. Don’t worry.”
His tone was still stiff, but this was already a great comfort to Pei Xin.
She looked at Lu Huai gratefully and mouthed a quick thanks, but she was so nervous that she couldn’t make a sound.
Ling Lin had disappeared several times because of her. He’s gone missing and was beaten repeatedly. Pei Xin’s tears fell as she thought about his cancer and his absent father..
