Chapter 1608: Chapter 1608: The Child Is Lost
All afternoon, Luo Qiao kept thinking about Miao Shuang’s words. Could there still be hidden truths from back then?
But there was nothing about this in the previous books. Could it just be a coincidence?
Then again, it wasn’t impossible. Four brothers, two pairs of twins, and then just her—perhaps she really had a sister or a younger sibling.
Anyway, she was distracted all afternoon, constantly speculating in her mind.
She thought about whether to tell Dad about this first, but then worried it might be a false alarm, causing a big fuss for nothing.
Finally, it was time to get off work, and she quickly dialed Lu Yichen’s number: "Hey, Brother Chen, can you leave work on time today?"
"What’s up? Is there something wrong?"
"Yeah, there’s something I need to discuss with you."
"I’m still handling some stuff here, might need to leave a bit later. Once I’m done, I’ll hurry back home."
"Forget it, forget it, just focus on your work. I’ll talk to you when you get back, it’s not that urgent."
"Alright, drive safely."
After hanging up, she packed up her things and went downstairs.
Just as she stepped into the parking lot, Guan Yuqi called: "Sis, where are you?"
Upon hearing Guan Yuqi’s tearful voice, Luo Qiao quickly asked: "What’s wrong? What happened?"
Guan Yuqi, somewhat trembling, said: "I went to pick up Yu Feng, but the kindergarten said someone already took him away. Sis, what do I do now?"
Luo Qiao hurriedly got into the car, started the engine while comforting her: "Don’t panic, call the police first, I’m on my way."
On the road, Luo Qiao called Shen Jianzhong, asking him to secretly search the Ning Family.
She didn’t forget to call home either: "Rong Daniang, have the kids come back?"
Upon hearing it’s Luo Qiao, Rong Daniang said: "They’ve returned, all doing their homework inside. Where are you?"
Luo Qiao turned her car: "I’m still outside, Yu Qi ran into some trouble, I have to go check it out. Might be late getting back, just letting you know."
Rong Daniang advised: "Some places still haven’t cleared the snow, drive carefully, come back as soon as you’re done, I’ve made lamb bone soup today."
Warmth filled Luo Qiao’s heart, she softly replied: "I’m not sure when I can return, you guys eat first, don’t wait for me, I’ll just reheat it when I get back."
She rushed to the kindergarten in a hurry.
As soon as she got out of the car, Guan Yuqi dashed over: "Sis, you’re finally here."
Luo Qiao patted her shoulder: "Calm down, this isn’t the time to be fragile, the child is still waiting for you."
Listening to Luo Qiao, Guan Yuqi said with some panic: "Yes, yes, yes, I really lost my senses, Yu Feng still needs me to rescue him."
She pulled out a handkerchief from her pocket, wiping her tears with trembling hands: "Sis, the police officer is already inside looking into the situation."
Luo Qiao walked in too, asking as she went: "Usually when you pick up the kids, don’t the teachers recognize you all? Why did they let a stranger take Yu Feng today?"
Guan Yuqi choked up: "The teacher in Yu Feng’s class has only been at the kindergarten for a little over half a month. Her partner teacher got married yesterday and hasn’t been back to work, she probably hasn’t recognized all the parents of the kids yet.
At the end of school, all the classes were picking up kids, the scene was a bit chaotic, she heard someone calling the kid’s name and let Yu Feng go without seeing clearly who took him in the crowd."
When Luo Qiao walked in, the teacher was crying breathlessly, repeatedly saying: "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it wasn’t intentional, it’s all my fault, all my fault."
On the way there, Luo Qiao had called Lu Yichen, just so the responding officers would do everything they could, possibly because Lu Yichen had spoken to them.
As soon as she entered, a police officer walked over: "You must be the sister-in-law?"
Luo Qiao nodded: "Any findings?"
The officer said: "We haven’t gotten any useful information from the teacher or the security guard."
Luo Qiao explained her suspicions, and the officer said: "Alright, we’ll immediately send people to follow this lead and investigate."
