34: C34 Qiao Buxi Was Gone

C34 Qiao Buxi Was Gone

A week later, Qiao Yurou held a press conference to publicly apologize. It caused a huge commotion in Nancheng. Her complicated relationship with Qiao Yumeng and Fu Qianchen had been overturned.

There were people who said all kinds of things. What spread the most was that Qiao Yumeng wanted to get back together with Fu Qianchen, which caused Qiao Yurou to kill Qiao Yumeng.

Cheng Nuo sat in front of the bed and looked at it for a while. Annoyed, she threw her phone to the side, "These reporters are really full. What are they writing?"

"As long as you get used to it." Qiao Yumeng's gaze landed on the television in the ward.

There, the scene of Qiao Yurou apologizing was being played. She cried very sadly and looked very sincere.

"Annoying." Cheng Nuo directly stood up and turned off the television. She looked directly at Qiao Yumeng, "Qiao Yurou's hypocritical face, what's there to see? Why don't we go out for a walk?"

"Later. Yuxi is about to leave school." Qiao Yumeng said.

"That's right." After Cheng Nuo finished speaking, she stuffed her phone into her pocket and prepared to walk out, "What do you want to eat later? I'll bring it back for you."

"I don't have any appetite." Originally, seeing Qiao Yurou being defeated, her mood should be very good. But for some reason, she just felt that her heart was in a mess.

"Then I'll buy whatever I see later." After Cheng Nuo finished speaking, she went out.

Qiao Yumeng turned to look outside the window. Her mind was empty. It was only when her phone rang sharply that she was pulled back from her thoughts.

It was probably because the ward was too quiet or the phone was too loud. Qiao Yumeng's heart suddenly jumped. When she picked up the phone, her hands were trembling.

The phone screen displayed an unfamiliar number. Qiao Yumeng picked it up, "Hello, hello."

"May I ask if you are Qiao Yuxi's parents?" A middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, carrying a bit of anxiety.

With a dong sound, Qiao Yumeng's heart skipped a beat and she quickly replied, "I am."

"Madame Qiao, did the child go home?" The voice on the other end was probing.

"Go home?" Qiao Yumeng immediately sat up from the bed and pulled her wound. The pain made her break out in cold sweat but she did not have time to care.

"It's like this. This afternoon Qiao Yuxi disappeared. We mobilized all the staff to search for her in the kindergarten for two hours but they still could not find her, so we wanted to..."

Slap! The phone in Qiao Yumeng's hand fell to the ground. The phone rolled a few times on the ground as if it was struggling for its life. The screen turned black.

Qiao Yumeng did not even bother to change her clothes. She put on her shoes and ran out. When she went out, she happened to meet the nurse who was going to take her temperature.

"Madame Qiao, where are you going? Sigh..."

Qiao Yumeng did not care. She rushed out of the hospital and ran towards Mickey kindergarten.

On the way, Qiao Yumeng ran into two red lights consecutively. She was almost hit by a speeding car several times but she did not care.

Qiao Yumeng had never run so fast. The scenery that passed by became blurry and the surrounding sounds seemed to have been pressed by someone. It was so quiet that it made people panic.

"Yumeng... Yumeng..." It was only when Qiao Yumeng's shoulder was grabbed and shook that her ears could hear the sound and her eyes could finally see clearly.

"Cheng Nuo..." Qiao Yumeng faced Cheng Nuo's anxious face and muttered these two words.

"Yuxi is gone. I have already contacted Dr. Lu and Tan Yue. Don't be anxious..." Cheng Nuo said and raised her hand to wipe away the tears at the corner of Qiao Yumeng's eyes.

Only when Cheng Nuo's fingertips touched Qiao Yumeng's face did she realize that she had actually cried at some point.

"Could she... have gone home by herself?" Qiao Yumeng used all of her strength to squeeze out this sentence with difficulty.

"Okay, I will call the property management now and ask them to take a look at the door. Don't worry." Cheng Nuo was very worried about Qiao Yumeng. Her entire face was so white that it was almost transparent. Her entire body was trembling and her eyes were not focused.

Cheng Nuo took out her phone and dialed the property company's number. Qiao Yumeng could not hold on anymore and fell to the ground.1

She previously bet Qiao Yurou did not dare to do anything to Qiao Yuxi. That was why she kept pressing on, but it seemed like she was wrong... If anything happened to Qiao Yuxi, she would definitely not forgive herself...

After ending the call with the property management, Cheng Nuo quickly squatted down to pull Qiao Yumeng, "Yumeng, you cannot sit on the ground and be careful of the infection in your hands."

Qiao Yumeng blankly looked up to look at Cheng Nuo and rolled her eyes, feeling exhausted, "Cheng Nuo, it is Qiao Yurou... it is her..."

Cheng Nuo also thought so but she still had hope in her heart. She hoped that Qiao Yuxi left the kindergarten and went home by herself and not what Qiao Yurou did.

"Don't be anxious. Let's wait for the property management to say something. I think Qiao Yurou is currently at the peak of the storm and should not dare to do this..." Cheng Nuo said this but her heart was uneasy.

In this world, there were many things that could be solved with money. Qiao Yurou did not need to do it personally.

"Good, good." Qiao Yumeng nodded her head. Her hands were already shaking badly.

"Yumeng, Cheng Nuo." Lu Chen hurriedly got out of the car after receiving Cheng Nuo's call. When he saw Qiao Yumeng like that, his heart ached. He wanted to hug Qiao Yumeng and tell her that he was there.

Qiao Yumeng looked up at Lu Chen and once again fell into despair.

"I hope Yuxi went home by herself. I have already called the property company and waited for their reply." Cheng Nuo and Lu Chen explained.

Lu Chen nodded and asked, "Then what does the school say?"

"The school... They said the school doesn't open at noon and Yuxi is a child. It's impossible for her to leave by herself. She must have fallen asleep in a corner and is still looking for someone." Cheng Nuo subconsciously swallowed her saliva after she finished speaking.

If Qiao Yuxi had only fallen asleep in a corner like the school had said, that would be the best. But what if... Someone had quietly taken her away from the kindergarten? That would be the end of it.

"It should be what the school said." Lu Chen nodded and took out his phone to send a text message to Fu Qianchen, asking if he was with Qiao Yurou.

Fu Qianchen did not reply. He did not know if he did not see it or he did not want to reply at all.

Lu Chen stared at his phone for a while. He called a friend who worked at the police station and explained the situation before hanging up.

"Yumeng, don't panic. Yuxi might have fallen asleep in a corner like what the school said. Didn't we do this often when we were young?" Lu Chen put his hand on Qiao Yumeng's shoulder and comforted her softly.

Qiao Yumeng covered her mouth and cried silently. After a long while, she looked up at Lu Chen and whimpered, "But... I cut my own hand and deliberately framed Qiao Yurou..."
