Chapter 158: Chapter 155: Child Missing Incident
"Fanfan!" Chu Biyao called out softly, running towards Ye Fan, "Fanfan, quickly sit down, it’s been hard protecting your elder sister, hurry and take a rest."
Ye Fan sat down and asked with a smile, "What is it this time? Go ahead, tell me."
Seeing Chu Biyao’s attitude, he knew for sure that something was up.
"No wonder you’re my Fanfan, you could tell right away I had something to say." Chu Biyao chuckled, "The explosion site, such a realistic scene, I wonder, did you manage to capture any shocking footage?"
"No, I was on stage at the time, there’s no way I could have captured any close-up video." Naturally, Ye Fan had cameras on him; to satisfy Chu Biyao’s wishes, he always installed small cameras whenever he went out.
"I see." Chu Biyao wasn’t disappointed at all, and curiously asked, "So, were there really killers in that two-story building turned into ruins? People even filmed limbs from the corpses."
"Yes, roughly over twenty of them, all dead." Ye Fan didn’t hide anything.
"Really?" Chu Biyao was stunned and immediately felt a sense of disappointment, "What a pity, it’s such a shame, those were killers, and we didn’t even capture their appearances or conversations, and now they’re all dead. If only I could have gotten some footage of those killers, that would have been amazing, such great material just slipped right past me, I shouldn’t have missed it."
Chu Biyao felt particularly regretful; having information on the killers would have been such genuine film material.
"Don’t be unsatisfied, what I’ve captured with the cameras on me is probably enough for you." Ye Fan said.
"That’s true. I heard from my sister that you went with Zhang Lu to catch the bad guys, it must have been a thrilling scene." Chu Biyao quickly expressed her delight.
At this time, Xu Li called, and Chu Mengyao didn’t have to think much to know that it was her parents who had seen the reports and wanted to ask what the situation was all about.
"Hello, Mom..." Chu Mengyao didn’t even finish her sentence before Xu Li interrupted anxiously, "Daughter, are you okay? Don’t tell me the killers mentioned in all those reports were after you?"
"Mom, you and Dad don’t need to worry, I’m fine. As for what those reporters say, don’t believe them. Most of it is exaggerated; there’s no such thing as killers. It’s just a gimmick to attract attention." Chu Mengyao said earnestly.
"You think it’s so easy to fool me? They speak so vividly, with evidence and logic, how could it be fake?" Xu Li was a sensible person, seeing through everything, "Don’t hide bad news from us just to spare us worry, share with us, even if we can’t help, we might come up with something."
"Mom, you’re overthinking." Chu Mengyao winked at her sister.
Chu Biyao hurriedly leaned towards the phone and shouted, "Mom and Dad, really, it’s nothing. You think too much, how could killers possibly target my sister?"
Xu Li thought for a moment, realizing it made sense, killers shouldn’t be targeting her daughter.
Chu Zhongtian’s voice came through, "Ye Fan is there, right? He’s an honest person, I want to hear what he has to say."
The sisters handed the phone to Ye Fan, who said seriously, "Uncle, Auntie, you don’t need to worry, it’s really nothing."
"Ye Fan, I’m trusting you, you’re not lying to your uncle, are you?" Chu Zhongtian doubted.
"No." Ye Fan braced himself, knowing he had to stick to the white lie.
"That’s good, as long as everything’s alright." Chu Zhongtian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Li said, "Daughter, are you getting into hype now, talking about killers to the reporters to increase your influence, and even confidently saying you coordinated with the police to trap the killers?"
Deep down she was very skeptical; her younger daughter’s hype was normal, but her elder daughter never liked dealing with the media in the first place.
"Yes, since we just established a new industry, a bit of hype might increase some influence." Chu Mengyao could only make something up; to allay her parents’ worries, she had to say that.
"Ye Fan, do come over to our house when you have time, you still owe me a drink." Chu Zhongtian brought up an old topic.
"Sure." Ye Fan agreed.
Hanging up the phone, Chu Zhongtian and Xu Li were half-believing, half-doubting.
The two still trusted Ye Fan’s words, easing much of the worry in their hearts.
Chu Biyao patted her chest, "I didn’t expect Mom and Dad to find out so soon about this, we almost let them worry too."
"With the three of us reassuring them, I believe Mom and Dad won’t worry too much now." Chu Mengyao felt relieved inwardly.
"Thanks to Fanfan, otherwise, it would have taken a lot of convincing to get Mom and Dad to believe us." Chu Biyao praised Ye Fan with a nod.
Ye Fan also knew that the sisters’ white lies were for the good of Chu Zhongtian and Xu Li, so he didn’t mind lying along, and besides, as long as he was by Mengyao’s side, nothing would happen, no need to let Chu Zhongtian and Xu Li worry.
Moments later, Chu Mengyao’s phone rang again.
Seeing the caller ID, she was full of doubt, "A call from Principal Wei, she wouldn’t call me for no reason, has something happened? It shouldn’t be, the school’s operation is all normal, how could something go wrong?"
Principal Wei was an elementary school principal.
Chu Mengyao privately funded the orphanage and the Yucai School, which operated together.
The orphanage took in children who were abandoned from a very young age, as well as those who had no families or lost their families due to accidents.
Yucai School was next to the orphanage, and when the children reached school age, they would enter the classrooms for their education.
Yucai School had both elementary and middle school sections, with Principal Wei heading the elementary school.
Between the orphanage and school, there was a large playground specifically for the children to play.
Chu Mengyao answered the phone with doubt, "Hello, Principal Wei, is there anything you need?"
"President, I didn’t want to bother you, as you’re busy managing a big enterprise and have many important things to handle, but I had to let you know. You told me that if anything happens at the school, I must inform you no matter what time it is, so I can’t keep this from you, I have to report it." Principal Wei sounded rather embarrassed, with some apology.
"Go ahead, what’s the matter?" Chu Mengyao asked patiently.
"Three children have disappeared, it’s already been three hours and there’s no sign of them. I’ve reported it to the police, but the police suggested that the missing children might have been taken by traffickers." Principal Wei stated.
"What?" Chu Mengyao was taken aback.
