Chapter 738: Don’t Say a Word
Lin Qing walked over and squatted down while Rainy raised her head. Her eyes were puffy, and her eyelashes were long and humid. Her lips were tightly pressed together, and tears welled up in her eyes before they finally dropped.
“Come eat.” Lin Qing took a spoon and scooped a spoonful of rice and placed it in front of Rainy. Rainy opened her mouth and wanted to eat, but suddenly, Lin Qing retracted his hand.
Lin Qing held the spoon tightly before scooping another mouthful and placing it in front of Rainy. Then, he fed her mouthful by mouthful; and Rainy ate them obediently. She looked at the water dispenser at the corner and cried even more.
After Lin Qing was done feeding her, he went to the kitchen and did not come out. He scooped a bowl of rice for himself; and after one mouthful, he hurriedly spat it out.
“How could she eat such salty food? She is really dumb.”
Rainy stood up and hugged her dolly before going to the water dispenser. She tip-toed and used her might to press on it, and the hot water that came out had hurt her hand until she cried.
Lin Qing heard it but did not move.
Rainy kept blowing her hand before she ran to the toilet and turned on the tap to drink the water with her small hands.
The water was cold, but she kept crying.
When Chu Lui opened the door, he saw Lin Qing telling Rainy a story; but Rainy was not paying attention and was in a daze.
“Uncle, you’re back.”
Lin Qing stood up and blocked Rainy behind him, but Chu Lui walked straight to his daughter and extended his hands to carry her.
Rainy lifted her heavy eyelids and buried her head in Chu Lui’s shoulders.
“Uncle, Rainy wants Mommy.”
“Mm, Uncle knows. Uncle will definitely find Rainy’s mother.”
He held his daughter’s hand but found a blister on the child’s soft hands.
“What happened here?” He knitted his eyebrows and asked Lin Qing.
Lin Qing shook his head. “I’m not sure. When Uncle Jingtang left, it was like that.”
Chu Lui carried his daughter out and paid all his attention to her so he did not realize the sarcastic smile on Lin Qing’s face.
…
“It’s okay, just don’t touch water for now.” The doctor carefully applied medication on Rainy, and she was very obedient and did not move or cry. She just lowered her head and stared at the dolly she was hugging.
“Thank you.” Chu Lui stood up and carried his daughter away.
He whipped out his phone and made a call.
“Hello Dad, it’s me. Could you come to my place for a while? Don’t let Mom know.”
After he finished talking, he kept his phone in his pocket before resting his chin on his daughter’s forehead. “Yes, don’t be afraid. Daddy will help Rainy find Mommy. Daddy definitely will; Daddy promises you.”
At that moment, there was a spark in Rainy’s eyes, but it was gone in a flash.
Not long later, Chu Jiang came over and got a fright when he saw his granddaughter. Hurriedly, he carried Rainy from Chu Lui’s arms.
“What happened? Why did she cry until her eyes were swollen?”
“Ruoxin is missing. She can’t find her mother.” Chu Lui leaned at the side and felt tired throughout his body. He had already used all the connections and people he had and was soon going to flip the entire city over, but he still could not find Xia Ruoxin. Her phone was found in a small clinic, and according to the couple in the clinic, there was a woman who brought another woman over to be treated.
The other woman had a stomach injury and had just finished a surgery so she could not move and had to stay at the clinic for a night. However, the next day, they were gone; and there were only a wallet and a phone with no battery on the floor.
He had checked Xia Ruoxin’s incoming and outgoing calls, but they were all normal. Her last call was made to Du Jingtang, and Du Jingtang did tell her about it. However, the other call that she received was weird as he could not check who the owner of that number was.
It was as if the number was protected by a mysterious force. He had quite some authority in the city but still could not find out who the owner of the number was. However, he could confirm that Xia Ruoxin was indeed missing. He massaged his forehead and gently knocked against the wall behind him.
Bang! Bang! He wanted to use this to calm himself down.
“Dad, I’ll be going out for a few days so please take care of Rainy.”
“Don’t worry.” Chu Jiang dotingly caressed his daughter’s cheeks. “She’s my granddaughter so I’ll naturally take care of her. As for your mother’s side, don’t worry too much. I’ll stay here with you and my granddaughter before Ruoxin comes back.”
“Thanks, Dad.” Chu Lui went out after he finished talking. Actually, he had not rested in a long time, and both his eyes were bloodshot. However, he knew he could not sleep.
He whipped out his phone and placed it by his ear.
“Mm, Leader Hu, I’m Chu Lui. Have you found what I told you to check?”
This was the fifth day that Xia Ruoxin was missing.
Chu Jiang fed his granddaughter food, and the child’s eyelids kept drooping. Even when she was sleeping at night, she would cry, too. However, she was very obedient now and would eat her food and sleep quietly. It was just that she kept wanting her mother.
“Come, eat another mouthful.”
Chu Jiang fed his granddaughter and sent another spoonful of rice into her mouth. When he doted on his granddaughter, he felt upset, too. The child was precious to her mother, but without her, she was like a grass.
They must find Ruoxin back. If not, what was going to happen to Rainy? No matter how well they treated the child, how could she lose her mother?
At that time, the ship that had cruised to somewhere only had women who were well and alive, other than a few boxes of cargo.
A man walked in, and all the women started trembling; so did Xia Ruoxin. Shen Wei grabbed her arm.
“Lower your head and don’t talk.”
Xia Ruoxin understood what she meant and buried her head between her knees, but her body kept trembling. The man came over, and his footsteps became closer and closer. Suddenly, he used his force to grab Xia Ruoxin’s hair, and the tear of her skin made Xia Ruoxin knit her brows in agony. In addition to her dirty face and the face filled with measles, she made the man lose his appetite instantly.
