C240 (1/2)
When Shangguan Zhe finally stopped the car, she heaved a long sigh of relief and vowed that he wouldn't ride in his car anymore.
Shangguan Zhe extended his legs and got off the car, turning around to open the door for her, ”Come, let's go in.”
She looked at the tall building in front of her and hesitated. ”Is this your home?”
He had known Shangguan Zhe for a long time, this was his first time coming here.
Of course, the last wedding party was not counted.
Shangguan Zhe nodded his head: ”You have never been here properly before, so you can look around this time.”
She laughed: ”Alright, when Le Le comes back, I will bring him here to have fun.”
”Yes.” ”Alright.” Shangguan Zhe knew what she was thinking. Right now, all of her thoughts were on Le Le, so she definitely did not have any other playful thoughts.
He took her straight upstairs to his study.
She sized him up and realised that compared to Si Lianye's, his room had even more traces of warmth. It should be because Xiao Rou was with him.
The small decorations in the corner, the small flowers, or the warm little pendant, seemed to dilute the cold of the computers on the big desk in the center of the room.
He pulled out a chair. ”Sit.”
She sat down and watched his every move.
Shangguan Zhe picked up the phone at the side and said a few words into it. Then, he went back to his computer and opened it up, tapping on the keyboard.
She curiously asked, ”What are you doing?”
He replied, ”I'm checking the security cameras.”
She pursed her lips and moved closer to look at the computer screen, only to see that there were countless crisscrosses on the computer screen, densely packed like a spider web. He tapped on it a few times, then asked: ”You said, Le Le disappeared from the Si Family?”
”Right.” She nodded his head: ”I'm not too sure about the details either, but I heard that Le Le had already gone to sleep at that time, I don't know why I didn't see him.”
”And then?” he asked.
She bit her lower lip: ”Later on, it went to Si Lianye's mother. At that time, she and I negotiated to use Le Le to threaten me and get me to break up with her son.
Thinking about it, her heart felt like a knife had been stabbed through her head. Because of his body, she couldn't take good care of Le Le and he did not even meet him.
He swept a glance at her and comforted her: ”This is because someone wanted to take care of you. Even if you took good care of them, they would still think of a way to harm Le Le.”
She forced a smile on her face and said nothing.
As a mother, how could the guilt in her heart be so easily dispelled with a single sentence?
Shangguan Zhe thought for a while, then decided to black into the monitoring system around the Si Family's Mansion. After pondering for a while, he switched the time to the time when Le Le was supposed to go missing.
She stared intently at the screen, feeling as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest.
This was not easy to find, there were many buildings around Si Family's house, but there were quite a few roads here. In the end, he looked for a long time but did not find anything suspicious.
She looked at it for a moment and then looked at him.
He thought for a moment, then said gently, ”Don't worry.”
He tapped the screen again, longer this time.
She couldn't understand his movements at all, so she could only look at him suspiciously with her eyes wide open.
He stopped and explained to her, ”I told my subordinates to search for him together. Don't worry, Le Le is so cute and there are so many surveillance cameras around.
She pursed her lips and stared at his movements, not saying a word.
He sighed softly in his heart.
Time slowly passed. She felt her legs going numb. Then, she heard a low voice from the other side of the computer: ”Found it.”
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the computer screen. Suddenly, she saw a dot in the densely packed map in front of her start to enlarge. Then, she also saw a little jump in time. Then, a child's figure appeared in the map.
Her heart skipped a beat and she exclaimed in a low voice.
Even though the child was a little blurry, she could still tell with a single glance that he was Le Le.
He trotted out from the end of the path, looking back uneasily as he ran. In the end, he ran out of the monitoring area and disappeared.
With a dark expression, Shangguan Zhe turned the monitor around, and then he saw Le Le standing by the side of the road.
He walked slowly, running as fast as he could. Strangely, even though he kept looking back, no one caught up to him.
He slowly entered the city.
Shangguan Zhe frowned: ”From the looks of it, he seems to be looking for you.”
As she finished her sentence, her eyes turned red as tears began to fall from her eyes. She choked with sobs as she said, ”I let him down. I didn't take good care of him …”
Shangguan Zhe consoled her helplessly, ”Don't worry, he might already be waiting for you somewhere. Come, we'll come find him.”
With that, he tapped the keyboard again, and quickly locked onto Le Le's figure.
She stared at the computer screen, and unknowingly, her head got closer and closer to Shangguan Zhe's. From behind them, it looked like they were doing things that couldn't be described.
