Chapter 244 - Chapter 244 Chapter 244 Joining Hands to Search for the Child

Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Joining Hands to Search for the Child Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Joining Hands to Search for the Child Upon receiving the news, Ji Muye rushed over from the hotel immediately, his face filled with worry and fury like a frost.

The surrounding area of the incident washroom had already been cordoned off.

The person in charge of the amusement park had also immediately started broadcasting a looped announcement, urging parents to keep close watch over their children.

Although the park had sealed off the news here, there were still people who had been to the restroom at the same time who spread the word.

A child had gone missing in the amusement park!

In an instant, the parents who had brought their children to the amusement park became frantic, losing all interest in play, and they began running toward the exits.

With the park’s high volume of visitors, it was impossible to completely seal it off, and a large-scale stampede could easily occur.

The police immediately dispatched a lot of personnel to the scene.

Visitors carrying suitcases had to open them for inspection, and parents with children would have to compare photos to confirm there were no issues, after which everyone could pass through safely.

When Ji Muye found Lu Xining, she was calmly observing the structure of the women’s and men’s restrooms.

After reviewing the surveillance footage so many times before.

Lu Xining shrewdly discovered a space between the men’s and women’s restrooms, and upon asking a staff member, learned that it was an emergency exit designed for unforeseen situations.

However, the staff member confidently assured her, “Ma’am, it’s not that we didn’t remind you, but it’s impossible to move children through here.”

He immediately pulled up all the surveillance that could capture the exterior of this door, playing them one by one for Lu Xining to see, indeed as he said, no one lingered there.

“This area, from the time the park opened until now, has never been used.”

“There are three keys: one is held in the main control room, one is with the area manager, and the last is with the cleaning lady. The moment you contacted us, we immediately arranged for them to come over with the keys.”

The area manager indicated that there were no issues with the three keys.

Originally, Lu Xining did not discount the possibility that the child was still in the restroom, but upon inspecting both the male and female restrooms, each individual toilet seemed to be in order.

When Ji Muye arrived, Lu Xining was pushing open each door, carefully checking every restroom.

Next door, in the men’s restroom, the Lu Family’s bodyguards were also conducting a search.

But the final conclusion that emerged was that there was no news of any child.

Lu Xining looked completely calm, but her tightly clasped hands betrayed the urgency in her heart.

The man draped the blanket he had brought over her shoulders, comforting her, “Don’t worry, if someone went to great lengths to take the child, the motive is definitely not simple. If it’s about money, they are bound to contact us.”

What we fear most now is…

What if it’s not about money, but purely to avenge the society!

Hearing Ji Muye’s comforting words, Lu Xining’s mind flashed with inspiration, thinking of some details she had overlooked.

The person who went to such lengths and efficiency to take the child couldn’t have acted on a whim; they must have made the necessary preparations in advance.

For instance, the first thing to do when a child goes missing would be to check the surveillance…

And when she contacted the person in charge of the park, from checking the surveillance to checking the restrooms, everything was too smoothly and efficiently handled.

It was as though someone had already anticipated the subsequent actions and had been waiting for her to approach them.

Furthermore, if it wasn’t about money, then it had to be about people.

Rather than causing such a big fuss over a 2-year-old child, she preferred to believe that the person behind it was targeting her or Ji Muye.

She filtered through her mind the people from Port City she had come across.

Old Lady Zhou from the Zhou Family, Feng Suli…

Gou Shanmu from the Port City Shipping Company, or perhaps her father whom she had yet to meet…

And last night, Shang Lvxing and Shang Yueling…

Lu Xining quickly reviewed recent events and shared them with Ji Muye, inquiring about his side of things at the same time and whether he had any recent conflicts with anyone.

“There’s nothing, everything has been stable recently, and even my arrival to Port City was done in secret.”

Apart from the encounter with the Shang Family last night, nobody else knew he was in Port City.

After listening to Ji Muye, Lu Xining became more inclined to believe that the problem arose on her side.

The man also read the implication in her eyes.

He shared his guess with her, “Shang Yueling returned to Beicheng last night, Shang Lvxing wouldn’t hurt you or the child, which leaves only the Zhou Family and the Gou Family.”

Lu Xining’s gaze suddenly sharpened, locking onto his eyes, “Why are you so certain that it has nothing to do with the Shang Family?”

They were her initial suspects.

Ji Muye wasn’t sure if she knew about his own origin, but still, he told her what he knew.

“Because Shang Lvxing has been suspecting that the daughter the Shang Family took back is an imposter.”

“And he has his eyes on you.”

“He is doubtful about your background and is also having someone investigate the identity of your mother ‘Mu Jingyu’…”

When smart people talk, they don’t need to explain too much.

Lu Xining’s gaze condensed slightly, instantly catching the meaning in Ji Muye’s words, and understood why she had been encountering Shang Lvxing so frequently lately.

If Shang Lvxing truly suspected that she was the daughter of the Shang Family, then not only would they not take Little Dumpling away, but they would also send someone to protect them, ensuring their safety.

Ji Muye, “Compared with the Shang Family, the Zhou Family and the Gou Family are more suspect!”

“I’ve already sent people to check the recent activities of Zhou Ni Juan, Feng Suli, and Gou Shanmu; don’t worry, nothing will happen to Nuonuo.”

Though he spoke calmly, Ji Muye’s heart rate too had lost its usual composure.

If the other party dared to brazenly kidnap a child in an amusement park, the power they wielded in Port City was certainly not small.

And today, it just so happened to be Old Lady Zhou’s birthday banquet.

Zhou Ni Juan and Feng Suli were at the banquet venue, preparing for tonight’s event.

As for Gou Shanmu, who chased after Zhou Jiawang’s shadow every day, she naturally wouldn’t miss the chance to draw close to him.

Lu Xining’s eyes turned icy cold; rather than waiting for the snake to emerge, it was better to strike proactively.

Her thoughts were perfectly aligned with Ji Muye’s.

She left some people to continue the search here, ensuring her phone was fully charged, making sure “they” could get through with calls and messages.

Lu Xining and Ji Muye headed to the parking lot, prepared to personally attend the birthday banquet venue.

Just as they passed the exit in the amusement park shuttle, she narrowed her eyes and spotted a girl she saw today by the women’s restroom entrance.

She urgently exclaimed, “Stop the vehicle!”

Lu Xining approached the girl and tapped her on the shoulder, asking, “Excuse me, have you been wearing that outfit all day today?”

The girl nodded, looking puzzled at her, “Yes, why? I haven’t changed.”

Lu Xining had copied the surveillance video from the time Little Dumpling went missing onto her phone.

She already had an answer in her mind, but still searched for the frame featuring the girl, and after confirming with her, determined that the person in the surveillance was indeed her, but she had worn that outfit a few days before.

Lu Xining and Ji Muye exchanged a glance, realizing the same thing.

The surveillance had been tampered with!
