Chapter 183: Coco Is Missing
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Inside the apartment,
“Mommy, are we going to leave here soon?” Coco was in the midst of disassembling a toy car, sweating profusely. Lately, Li Zhijun had given him lots of fun toys, and he was having a great time with them.
Shen Ning was also busy tidying up things nearby, also perspiring.
“Yes,” Shen Ning smiled faintly, “We’re going back to the United States first, and after some time, we’ll come back to visit Grandma.”
Coco stopped disassembling the toy car, blinked his big eyes, and after thinking for a while, he ran over with a tissue to wipe the sweat off Shen Ning’s forehead. In a childish voice, he asked, “If we leave, what will happen to Uncle Zhijun?”
In these few days, he had developed a deep bond with Li Zhijun. Now that they were about to leave, he felt a bit disheartened and missed him.
Shen Ning caressed the little one’s face, “Uncle Zhijun’s home is here. He can only stay here. Our home is not here, so we have to leave. People can only stay together if they’re close relatives or family. Otherwise, it can’t be forced, okay?”
“But Uncle Zhijun is our relative too,” Coco replied with disappointment. He had never had anyone treat him so well, and he really liked Uncle Zhijun.
“But he’s not our close relative. He has his own life. If we force ourselves to stay with him, what about his family, parents, wife, and children? They wouldn’t be happy,” Shen Ning patiently explained.
“Okay,” Coco reluctantly agreed.
Shen Ning quickened her pace. After a while, she finished her chores at home, booked a flight for tomorrow, and then went to bid farewell to Gu Qi and Uncle Mali.
But just as she arrived at Gu Qi’s office to clean up her things, her phone suddenly rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was a call from Auntie Dong. Her heart inexplicably skipped a beat, and she immediately answered it.
“Miss, something terrible has happened! Coco is missing,” Auntie Dong cried as soon as she answered the phone.
Shen Ning’s face turned pale, but having experienced a similar situation before, she remained calmer and managed a reassuring smile. “Auntie Dong, please don’t panic. Wasn’t Coco playing with his toy car at home?”
“Yes, he was. But shortly after you left, he took the assembled toy car and went downstairs to the community to play with Xiaoxiao. Within less than half an hour, Xiaoxiao came back in a panic, saying that Coco had been tricked by several men in black near a car. They used a sack to take him away,” Auntie Dong sobbed, her voice breaking. “I immediately rushed down to look for him, but I searched the entire apartment complex and couldn’t find Coco. Miss, please come back quickly. Coco is in real trouble this time.”
After finishing her explanation, she burst into tears.
Hearing this, Shen Ning felt her vision blur and almost collapsed. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝓂
“All right, Auntie Dong, please don’t worry. I’ll be back right away,” she reassured and hung up the phone.
From her home to Gu Qi’s place, only about two hours had passed, and yet this had happened. If it was true, her plan was too slow. Those people were ruthless.
Thinking of her son falling into the hands of those wicked individuals, she felt like all the energy had been drained from her body. Her legs were weak, and her vision darkened.
“Coco!” she cried, tears streaming down her face, and she rushed outside.
After finally managing to hail a taxi and get back home, she saw Auntie Dong running around downstairs, shouting for Coco. Auntie Dong’s once neatly arranged white hair was now disheveled in the wind, presenting a tragic scene. freewebn ovel.com
At this moment, Shen Ning’s heart felt like it was being whipped, and she was bleeding internally.
“Auntie Dong!” She ran towards Auntie Dong, and as soon as Auntie Dong heard her voice, she rushed towards her. Auntie Dong embraced her tightly, tears flowing freely. “Miss, you’ve finally come back..”
