"Lu, are you and Yiyi coming ho for dinner tonight?" ca Ye Wanli’s loving voice from the other end.
Ye Lu was taken aback, imdiately sensing sothing was not right. Anxiously, she asked, "Dad, didn’t you pick up Yiyi?"
"Pick up Yiyi? No, when did you ask to pick her up? I didn’t receive a call!"
Ye Lu’s face turned pale, her lips white with terror. "What’s going on?" she said hurriedly. "I have to hang up now and call Yiyi."
She ended the call, her fingers trembling as she dialed Ye Yi’s number.
But the phone was switched off. Ye Lu swayed on her feet, her heart stopping with extre panic.
What has happened? It’s already been four hours since she left the hotel. How could Yiyi not have returned? Even if the clever little girl didn’t call her father, she should have taken a taxi back by herself!
But so much ti had passed. Where could the little girl have gone?
The more Ye Lu thought about it, the more terrified she beca. Her heart clenched in fear. What if sothing had happened to Yiyi, or worse, she was kidnapped by human traffickers? Her baby was so beautiful and adorable.
Tears of panic fell one after another.
It was all her fault. How could she just abandon her child? She’s a total jerk.
If sothing happened to Yiyi, she would never forgive herself.
Feeling helpless, Ye Lu quickly called Ye Wanli back to inform him about what happened.
Ye Wanli was also extrely alard, but he tried to calm her down, promising to send people out to find her imdiately. If that failed, they would report to the police.
Wiping away her tears, Ye Lu stood up gritting her teeth, pulling herself together to go back to the hotel to look for her child. But there was no sign of Ye Yi in the hotel, so she even sought help from the reception desk.
Security footage showed Ye Yi leaving the hotel by herself in the elevator. She left about half an hour after Ye Lu did.
Now even more panicked and scared, Ye Lu wondered why the little girl had ventured out alone. Where could she have gone?
She wandered around the streets outside the hotel, desperately calling out Ye Yi’s na. Her voice beca hoarse from the shouting, and she had cried herself dry.
****
anwhile, after her mother and the nasty man had left,
Ye Yi tried to call her grandfather. However, when she turned on her phone, she found that it was out of battery. Annoying! She couldn’t rember any phone numbers at all!
Touching her small bag, she noticed she still had so money. So, she could take the bus ho by herself.
She had taken the school bus before, it was relatively simple. Thus, with her unwavering courage, Ye Yi left the hotel alone and ventured out into the city.
However, she was intrigued by so locust figures made from leaves sold on the street and bought so, leaving her with no more money for the bus.
Feeling dejected, Ye Yi blad herself for her montary curiosity. Now she had no choice but to walk all the way back ho on her own delicate feet. She knew her ho was on XX Street, she could ask around and find her way back.
However, such a cute and beautiful little girl wandering alone on the streets was an easy target for the bad guys.
Only a street away from the hotel, Ye Yi noticed a sneaky figure that had been following her.
Humph, don’t think she is not aware of child trafficking.
However, she knew she could not beat an adult. If this man decided to co over and forcefully claim to be her father, the people on the street would probably not interfere.
What should she do? As cute as she is, she can’t fall into a trafficker’s hand. If that happens, her mom would be devastated.
Touching her chin, she suddenly noticed a shiny, luxury car not too far away. A man with star-like charm was getting into the car, his sunglasses on.
Ye Yi suddenly turned back to the trafficker and smirked, "Co on! Chase after , you idiot."
With that, she ran off. The trafficker, seeing her bolt, beca desperate. He had been following this little girl who was all alone, judging by her clothes, she was definitely a jackpot. She cannot get away.
