“Mine.” Kerry Ye gritted his teeth to say this and hung up the phone.
Soon, a recent photo of Pingan was sent to every staff at the amusement park, with the following sentence, “This is the son of Mr. Ye. Whoever finds him will be rewarded.
After making all the arrangements, Kerry had time to take care of Venus Mu next to him and asked, “Are you OK? I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Venus took a deep breath, waving her hand and said, “No, I’m fine. Looking for Pingan is more important.”
After going through so many things, Venus was no longer the young girl she used to be, who was stronger to withstand all the blows.
“Finding Pingan is important, but you’re also important. Henry and the others have already gone to look for him, and it’s too dangerous here, so let me you to the guest room to rest first, OK?” Kerry was most afraid of Gavin and his companions. He couldn’t let anything happen to Venus.
Venus hands were trembling, and she also wanted to go to look for Pingan, but she knew clearly that if nothing happened to her, she would be helping, so she nodded, “Okay.”
Kerry was so anxious that he picked up Venus and carried her across, “I’ll carry you over there faster.”
Kerry, swiftly, avoided the crowd, running all the way to his office. He swiped his fingerprints to enter and put Venus on the sofa. Before leaving, he kissed her on the forehead, “Be good and stay here, I’ll ask a female employee to accompany you. Don’t worry. Believe me, I will get our son back. “
“Go now. I’ll be fine.” Venus urged him to leave.
Kerry didn’t dare to waste any time and got out of the office, closing the door on his way out.
Venus could not sit still. It was her son and how could she not be worried?
Venus went to the window and looked out, but all she could see was the crowd moving around. She couldn’t help but wonder what Gavin would do to Pingan. As a bargaining chip, or simply to vent his anger, or maybe he just wanted to take Pingan away? They were all
possible.
Due to the overly tense mood, her stomach suddenly ached, and Venus took a few deep breaths and got back to sit down, when there was a knock on the door.
Venus walked behind the door, putting her hand on her waist, and cautiously asked, “Who is it?”.
A gentle female voice came from outside the door, “Mrs. Ye, we are employees of the amusement park, and Mr. Ye asked us to accompany you.”
We?
Venus opened a crack, and there were two young girls in work uniforms standing outside, one carrying some fruit and the other carrying several plates of dishes.
“Hello, Mrs. Ye.” One of the girls greeted her, and Venus took a glance at the badge on her clothes, making sure they were the staff.
She opened the door to let the two girls in and closed the door again.
“Thank you so much.” She said.
The girls put the things on the table. Seeing she was still standing, and said, “Mrs. Ye, sit down and have a rest please.”
The pain in her stomach seemed to have eased a lot as she sat back down on the couch, and to distract herself, she asked the two girls, “What do you two mainly do at the amusement park?”
“I’m from the office, and I’m mainly in charge of reception, serving guests and stuff like that.”
The other said, “I’m a docent, but I only work in the afternoon.”
“Oh, you guys look pretty young. Do you have a boyfriend?”
While the three women were chatting, the outside was about to become a mess.
It had been more than ten minutes, and Pingan seemed to have disappeared, with no news at all. The amusement park was large, with a lot of staff, and they all kept searching in the crowd, for a child with eyes in different colors.
Just as Kerry was about to freak out, Henry ran over with a set of Donald Duck clothes in his hands, “Young master, I found this in the trash.
“Where is it?” Kerry asked nervously.
“At the merry-go-round.”
Kerry suddenly remembered something, turning around and ran to the control room, and Henry immediately followed him without saying a word.
It was silent there and Kerry said to the staff, “Get all the videos near the merry-go-round.
The staff had also received the message from the group, and knew that the boss had lost his son, so they didn’t dare to waste any time, and with several clicks, all the videos from the four corners of the merry-go-round area appeared on the screen.
“Show me what you’ve got twenty minutes ago.” Kerry sounded nervous. It took him about five minutes to run over here, and if plus the time that Henry was looking for him, twenty minutes was almost the time.
As the videos went backwards, Kerry watched and asked Henry, “Where’s the dustbin?”
“In the southeast corner.”
Henry likes Pingan very much, loving to hear him sweetly call out “Uncle Zhang” and his laughter. He was very friendly to everyone, even the maids in the house, who were always greeted by him. In Ye family, Pingan was loved by everyone.
Henry didn’t dare to image if Pingan really couldn’t be found, what would happen to Kerry and Venus, the latter one was even pregnant.
And all of this was because of his carelessness. Henry couldn’t forgive himself.
As time passed by, Gavin disappeared as if he had evaporated without a trace.
No one knew what he looked like, and all he had to do was to change his clothes, but as for the child, there were thousands of children at the amusement park today, and it was difficult to find them.
It was almost the closing time in the afternoon, and the crowds were pouring towards the exits, with more than a dozen bodyguards standing at the exits carefully identifying each child that came out.
Most of the children were jumping and running around their parents, while some were tired and leaning on their parents’ arms. In order not to miss anyone, the bodyguards needed to check them one by one.
But many parents felt they had been offended, “What are you doing?”
“I’m sorry, but there’s a child lost in the park and we’re looking for him.” This was the only explanation they could say.
They were all parents, so of course they would understand, so they allowed them to check their children.
Around 5:00 p.m., a family of three arrived at the exit. The man was wearing a mask and Hawaii shirt and pants and the woman with white skin, holding a sleeping child in her arms.
“Excuse me, would you mind me having a look at the child’s face?”
The woman was reluctant, “What are you doing?”
“Looking for a lost child,” the bodyguard said again with a serious look, “we’d appreciate your help. Please.”
The woman still didn’t want to, “What do we have to do with the lost child? My baby is having a hard time falling asleep, and you’ll wake him up.”
“It’s just a sec. I won’t do anything to him.”
“What right do you have to do this? You’re not the police.”
“Madam…”
