Chapter 542
Ling Yiran's mind went back to the news and cases of child abduction she had seen in the past. Suddenly, her brain was even more befuddled.
If Lil Yan was really abducted, she would never forgive herself!
However, the more anxious she was, the more blank her mind became. She wanted to find Lil Yan quickly, but she did not know where to start.
Just then, someone grabbed her arm, and a familiar voice rang in her ear. "Calm down."
It was these two simple words that made Ling Yiran stop feeling so helpless.
"What can I do? Lil Yan is gone!" She choked on her voice, and her eyes were already wet. "It's all my fault. I should have gone to the restroom with Lil Yan myself. If I accompanied him, he wouldn't have disappeared."
"It's my fault. I asked the staff to go with him, but you can rest assured that we'll find him. I'll seal off the building right now and search for him carefully," said Yi Jinli.
"But... What if a human trafficker took Lil Yan away and has already taken him out of the building?" Ling Yiran thought of that possibility.
"Then, I’ll shut down the city. I’ll shut down the city within ten minutes. You can't get to the exit highway in ten minutes. Once the city is sealed off, even the human traffickers have to stay in the city and can't leave. We'll have plenty of ways to find him," he said.
She was shocked. Shut down the city?! Could such a prosperous city be sealed off so simply? However, these words came out of his mouth, and it was hard to believe that he could not do it!
"Believe me, I can find Lil Yan. Even if I have to turn the whole Shen City upside down, I'll find him for you." Yi Jinli promised.
He would go to such trouble to find a child because he did not want to see her burdened with guilt and sin.
He knew that with her character, she would never feel at ease if Lil Yan was not found!
Yi Jinli took out his phone and dialed a number. He was about to explain the matter to the person on the other end of the phone when suddenly, a child's young voice rang. "Aunt..."
Ling Yiran got a jolt. This was… Lil Yan's voice!
She immediately raised her head only to see Lil Yan walking over from a short distance away. He was being led by a man.
Almost immediately, Ling Yiran rushed forward and hugged Lil Yan. She choked with sobs as she said, "Where have you been? Why did you walk away all of a sudden? I was afraid I wouldn't find you!"
As she sobbed, she talked a lot. The little one did not know what she was saying, but he could feel her sadness. He kept rubbing his tiny head against her cheek while his tiny hands held her.
When Yi Jinli saw Lil Yan, he said into his phone, "It's all right now." Then, he put away his phone and looked away from Ling Yiran and Lil Yan to the man holding Lil Yan's hand.
After seeing the man clearly, he could not help but slightly raise a brow. There was a flash of amusement in his eyes. What a coincidence, he did not expect to see this man here. It was Ye Wenming, Lil Yan's biological father!
Was this some kind of fate?
Ling Yiran had finally calmed down. She took a deep breath and looked at the little one in her arms. "Where have you been?"
Lil Yan only stared at Ling Yiran's lips as if trying to figure out what she was saying.
