Chapter 20: Are Your Three Children Doing Well?
Translator: Lordbluefire
Chu Cichen and his family returned home.
After getting out of the car, Chu Cichen instructed people to inform the entire Sea City that the Chu Family had no problem with the Shen Family. Moreover, Lin Wanru’s orders were to be retracted.
Matriarch Chu hadn’t thought of doing this yet, so she could only sigh at her son’s thoughtfulness.
After that, the group of them hastened their steps and entered the upper levels.
Although Chu Yu didn’t show any bad symptoms before they left and he sounded energetic enough on the phone, Chu Cichen was still worried.
Just when he went up, Chu Cichen was stopped by his subordinate. “Miss Lin has been sent to the hospital, and the Lin Family will be the ones taking care of her. Also, I have secretly retrieved Miss Lin’s DNA sample. Now, the truth will be out as long as we take the little young master’s sample to compare…”
The light in Chu Cichen’s eyes gleamed brighter. “Do it immediately.”
“Yes.”
Just after his subordinate answered, Chu Cichen suddenly heard Matriarch Chu’s cry of shock from the room. Chu Cichen quickly entered and saw Matriarch Chu shouting, “Little Yu has left home!”
No one was on the bed. Now, the nanny and maid at the side were shivering as they explained, “Little young master cried and said that he was tired after the phone call and he wanted to rest. He then told us to go out and even made it clear that we are not to disturb him. We didn’t expect he would do this!”
Hearing this, Chu Cichen was in no mood to punish them. He strode to the bed and saw a note written there. [Grandmother, I’m going to look for the beautiful aunty.]
Matriarch Chu exclaimed, “He basically has no idea what Shen Ruojing’s address is! Quickly check the surveillance cameras and see how he got out!”
Very soon, they went to the monitoring room and saw that half an hour ago, Chu Yu had secretly slipped out.
He had avoided everyone below and intelligently entered the Chu Family’s van used for purchasing stuff.
The Chu Family’s businesses were too big, and there were many servants in the villa. Just the amount of food the entire Chu Manor ate per day was unbelievably great, so that van was specially used to purchase ingredients.
Chu Cichen calmly spoke, “Call the driver!”
Two minutes later, Chu Cichen saw the video recording of the van. After the van left, it headed to the market. The market was very chaotic, and not many places had surveillance cameras.
There was footage that saw the van stopping at the seafood section. When the purchasing was being done, Chu Yu climbed out of the van. He then glanced around him in a daze before running toward an alley without cameras.
A sense of unease then flooded Chu Cichen’s heart.
The marketplace was an extremely messy place with different types of people mixed in together. Also, the cameras at the few entrances and exits didn’t capture Chu Yu leaving. This meant that——
He was either still in the market or had been abducted by someone and was being hidden in a car and brought away!
Chu Cichen revealed some panic in his eyes. “Find him!”
Two hours later.
The Chu Family sent out over a hundred guards and searched through the entire marketplace but wasn’t able to find any traces of Chu Yu.
Chu Cichen harbored the last bit of hope in his heart and called Shen Ruojing. The call lasted a long time before it got picked up. After that, Shen Ruojing’s calm voice could be heard. “Hello?”
Chu Cichen fell silent. “Is Chu Yu at your place?”
“No.”
Shen Ruojing replied cleanly and subconsciously asked, “What happened?”
“…Nothing.”
Chu Cichen faintly had a guess in his heart. “If he goes to look for you, please contact me immediately.”
After hanging up, Lu Cheng was pacing before him nervously. “Bro Chen, seeing that the other party was able to bring Chu Yu away so quietly without traces, they are not simple. Think carefully, did you offend anyone recently? Especially so for people close to you?”
Chu Yu had always been a hidden existence. Other than the servants who signed a confidentiality contract, only a few people knew of his existence.
Lu Cheng racked his brains and couldn’t think of anyone suspicious. However, he discovered Chu Cichen clenching his fists as he sat on the sofa.
He started slightly. In his impression, Bro Chen would always be able to maintain his calmness no matter what problems he faced. Hence, this was the first time he saw Bro Chen being nervous.
But after that, he saw Chu Cichen slowly loosening his clenched fists and moving his fingers around.
This reaction…Lu Cheng then asked, “Bro Chen, you know who was the one doing this?”
Chu Cichen nodded, “Mn.”
“I’ll immediately summon the subordinates to gather. Tell me who it is. We will raze their place to flat ground. They are really gutsy to have touched Little Yu!”
“There’s no need to be anxious.” Chu Cichen’s eyes were so dark that it was terrifying. His entire person exuded an extremely chilly air. “If we forced them too far, they might choose complete destruction!”
Lu Cheng paled. “What should we do then?”
Chu Yu was only five years old and didn’t have the ability to protect himself. Now that he was in the hands of others, if they made any hasty moves, the other party might really finish Little Yu off to destroy all evidence.
There was only a single solution then.
“Luring the snake out of the cave.”
–
Shen Family.
Shen Ruojing sat comfortably on her sofa. There was a thermal flask next to her, and warm wolfberry tea was inside. This drink was very nourishing.
Her gaze landed on her phone.
Did Chu Yu go missing? If not, why would Chu Cichen ask her that question?
However, what did this have to do with her?
Chu Yu’s birthday was on the fourth of October.
Her children’s birthday was on the tenth, so they were only a week apart.
The twins were considered premature births. They came into this world when they were eight months old. If that was the case, when Chu Cichen and her were dating back then, he was already cheating on her. Regardless of whether he could remember her or not, he was a——
Scumbag!
Shen Ruojing placed her phone on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest.
Thirty seconds later, she opened her eyes while feeling vexed. She then took her phone and called a number. The other party picked up instantly and asked, “Boss, have you thought things through? Are you selling the patent?”
“…Help me do a check on the Chu Family.”
Lu Hui was someone skilled in everything; there was no gossip in Sea City that he didn’t know. When he heard this, he directly said, “Oh, they lost their grandchild.”
Shen Ruojing’s eyes narrowed. “Why?”
“The little young master of the Chu Family has gone missing, but no one knows the details. After all, no rich family would announce to the world how many children they have. I heard that the missing child went missing in the marketplace.”
Shen Ruojing’s grip on her phone tightened.
After that, she felt that she was very ridiculous.
Chu Yu was Lin Wanru and Chu Cichen’s son, so why would she be worried for him?
She then hung up the phone and after drinking a mouthful of her tea, she suddenly stood up and headed outside.
Shen Qianhui asked doubtfully, “Where are you going?”
“Buying ingredients.”
As she said this, Shen Ruojing already got into her car and drove out.
Shen Qianhui glanced at the ingredients she had bought earlier at the marketplace, as well as their fully-stuffed fridge, as many ??? appeared in her mind.
Shen Ruojing went to the largest marketplace in Sea City. There were countless streams of people here. Every day, the traffic would reach over ten thousand people, so it was extremely chaotic.
She parked outside and found a fruit stall while taking the chance to observe the surrounding situation.
“…Miss Shen?”
All of a sudden, a voice filled with hesitation rang out.
Shen Ruojing turned and saw an unfamiliar young female looking at her. That female excitedly said, “Oh, it’s really you! I was the nurse who aided you in childbirth five years ago. Are your three children doing well?”
