Chapter 404: Chapter 299: My Name is Xiao Yi_2

It seemed... aside from wandering everywhere, hoping to one day accidentally meet his mother, there were no other options left.

"...!"

But just at that moment, the boy suddenly saw a towering building nearby.

As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you see. If he could get to the rooftop of that building, he surely could overlook the entire city!

By then, he would definitely be able to easily find his mother!

"...!" The boy didn’t know much about complicated matters; he simply had the idea and immediately took action.

The boy instantly started running toward the building, while Eve stood there, somewhat dumbfounded.

"...Eh? What’s wrong? Where are you going?"

Eve quickly noticed that the boy wanted to go to the building, and seeing him just now looking up at its rooftop with a flicker of brightness in his eyes, she roughly guessed what he planned to do...

"Ah..." Eve immediately followed and shouted, "Wait, calm down a bit, even if you stand high and see far, there’s still a distance limit, isn’t it? If you can’t even see the people downstairs clearly, how could you possibly see people far away?"

However, before Eve could finish, the boy had already reached the front door of the building.

Just as he was about to rush in, the guard at the door saw his actions and immediately stopped him.

"Wait... wait! Kid, what are you doing? You can’t go in here, only personnel from the company are allowed."

"Uh..." Seeing the boy being stopped, Eve felt helpless and could only stand by and watch, ready to see how the situation would unfold.

"What’s wrong?" At that moment, another guard came over and asked, "Whose child is this? Is he from someone in the company?"

"I don’t know, but he was insisting on getting inside. I almost couldn’t hold him back... I don’t know why he wants to get in so badly, maybe his parents are really inside, perhaps it’s something urgent."

"Right, maybe there’s a family emergency." The guard crouched down, asking the boy, "Kid, what’s your name? Who are your parents? Why are you here? Don’t worry, just tell us what’s going on, and we will definitely try to help."

"..."

The boy slightly opened his mouth, wanting to convey his thoughts to them, but he couldn’t make a sound.

For a moment, the boy didn’t know how to express his thoughts to them.

But in that instant, an idea suddenly came to him.

Soon after, the boy took out the money from his pocket and handed it over to the two guards.

"This...!?"

"...Ah!?"

Naturally, the guards quickly understood the boy’s intention and were dumbfounded.

"This..." one guard said, a bit at a loss, "Is this supposed to be a bribe? It’s the first time anyone has tried to bribe me, and it’s a kid at that... I don’t even know what to say."

"Who would’ve thought, even kids nowadays know they should try to bribe with money, sigh... truly a sign of the times going downhill."

The other guard said while glancing at the money in the boy’s hands, grumbling:

"But... if the bribe was a bit more, it would be better."

Hearing this, his colleague immediately gave him a disdainful look and said, "Could you have a bit of self-respect?"

"..." Eve watched them, unsure of how to comment. However, it seemed like the boy wasn’t in any danger, so she decided to keep observing the situation.

While they were causing a commotion at the door, someone noticed and approached.

"What’s happened here?" he asked.

"Ah!"

Approached by him, the two guards were immediately startled and lost their casual demeanor; they straightened up and put on serious faces, standing with respect as they addressed him:

"President! I’m very sorry for this issue; we’ll get this kid out right away!"

The person continued to ask:

"So, what happened here? What does this kid plan to do?"

"Nothing!?" they said in unison, "The child probably just wanted to rush in for fun; we are going to get him out now!"

"Wait!" the person frowned and said, "It’s okay to have a problem, but thinking of covering it up or delaying it rather than solving it is not good."

"..." The two remained silent, unable to respond.

"However..." the person added, "considering your previous actions, it seems you were planning to handle it seriously, which is good... Anyway, continue with your regular duties; I have some free time now, so I’ll take care of this child."

The two security guards seemed to still want to prove themselves, but the person did not give them the chance and took the boy some distance away, then asked the boy:

"So, little guy, what do you want to do? Speak clearly, and then I can help you within my ability, just charging forward blindly only causes trouble for others."

"..."

The boy still couldn’t say a word.

"Hmm? What’s wrong?" the man asked helplessly, "Are you afraid of me? This... my face shouldn’t be that scary, right? Oh, right."

He seemed to remember something, then said:

"By the way, I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name... is Xiao Yi. What’s your name?"

"!" Hearing this name, Eve was naturally surprised, but she quickly thought of something.

It seemed that the boy’s connection with this man was not going to be a simple brief encounter.

"..." The boy remained silent, not answering; he couldn’t answer because he didn’t have a name of his own.

But setting that aside for now, the boy could feel this man had no ill intentions and even seemed genuinely willing to help.

Children can instinctively sense when someone genuinely wants to help them and will naturally seek help from others.

So he wanted to share his thoughts with him.

At this point, the boy remembered that he had paper and a pen, which were intended for communicating more complex messages that couldn’t be expressed through gestures.

"Oh? Using paper?" the man named Xiao Yi said, surprised, "Although I don’t know why you aren’t speaking directly, it’s impressive that you can write at your age. You’re even better than my daughter."

"..."

Then, just as the boy was about to write something, he stopped.

Because, with Xiao Yi’s reminder, he remembered that he... couldn’t actually read or write.

That also meant he couldn’t communicate in writing either.

"...Ah, that’s right, you can’t write yet."

Eve realized something, so she came up behind the boy, took his hand, and helped him write down his thoughts on the paper.

"Don’t worry, big sister will help you."

Though their minds weren’t connected, Eve could understand what the boy was thinking.

Then, a new sentence appeared on the paper, and the boy showed the piece of paper to Xiao Yi.

The sentence written on the paper was a very short one:

Can you help me find my mom?
