Chapter 940: She Found It
Lei Qingyi straightened his seating posture. After a while, a staff member came in with an item. It was a pink color phone with a big screen. It weighed quite a bit being held in the hand. Of course, the appearance of the phone startled Ma Guijuan.
Why is this phone here? Isn’t it the one I have found and was taken away by my son?
“Explain,” Lei Qingyi did not want to rumble on with this woman.
“What do you want me to explain?” Ma Guijuan’s shoulders collapsed. She did not seem to be that stubborn anymore.
“What’s up with this purse?” Lei Qingyi tapped the table lightly with his finger. “Don’t worry.” The corner of his lips cracked a little. “I’m not going to do anything to you, it’s just that I know the person who lost this purse, and now she’s having a little trouble. All I want to know is the location you found this purse. After you have told me everything, you can take both the phone and purse with you, including the items inside the purse, if you wish.”
Ma Guijuan thought for some time and finally lifted her face. Alright, let me be honest with him. After all, it’s not like I have committed crime or arson.
“I found it in the parking lot.”
“Continue,” Lei Qingyi knitted his eyebrows tightly. “Could you roughly remember when you found it?”
“Around...” Ma Guijuan tried her best to recall. “I remember it was before lunchtime, it should be around half-past ten. I purposely checked the watch before walking over. At that time, the purse was already on the ground. Moreover, on that day, video surveillance was under maintenance. If not, I would not dare to bring it back.”
“Did you see anyone else at that time?” Lei Qingyi tried to remember every detail as she confessed while connecting the dots.
Ma Guijuan shook her head. “No, there isn’t anyone else or else I wouldn’t dare to take the purse. I would definitely return the purse as soon as possible.” However, it struck Ma Guijuan odd about the person who lost the purse. There was a lot of valuables in the purse, aside from the money, there were also tons of credit cards. Would anyone really leave the purse somewhere without searching for it?
“Now I know,” Lei Qingyi felt as though there was no point carrying on with the interrogation. “Don’t tell anyone about this incident,” Lei Qingyi warned Ma Guijuan and then continued, “you can take the purse but you have to pretend as if nothing has happened.”
Ma Guijuan squeezed the purse in her arms tightly, she felt like she had offended someone whom she should not have offended, getting herself involved in something threatening. She quickly rushed off with the purse in her embrace. After living in fear for a few days, she was lucky that no one came for her. As such, she gradually returned to her original life as a janitor, but this time possessing an additional purse with 200,000 yuan in it.
“That’s the whole incident,” Lei Qingyi told Lu Yi. “I have been asking around, doing investigations. The purse was indeed found by her, and they have nothing to do with the incident. This can only further confirm that if anything happened to Yan Huan, it is planned or else the video surveillance wouldn’t be under maintenance so coincidentally when she was being kidnapped.”
However, Yan Huan was someone who liked to keep a low profile and she had not offended anyone. Hence, it was impossible for her to be kidnapped by someone. Even if she did offend someone, that person would also have to take into consideration the powerful background of the Lu family. In this regard, no one would dare to provoke the Lu family, not to mention that it happened in the underground parking lot at Linlang which was her territory. Having said that, this missing incident was really strange. This caused others to be puzzled even after further deliberation because Yan Huan did not seem to have a real opponent.
Lu Yi was feeding his daughter with milk. Little Xunxun used her little hands to hold the bottle. She was not talkative. No, to put it right, she was unwilling to voice out at all. Her long lashes quivered; her tiny face was as thin as a rake in an unhealthy way.
Lei Qingyi reached for Xunxun’s little forehead, luckily, she has recovered. It’s just that getting admitted to the hospital due to her sickness this time has brought great influence to her weight. This little girl is so much skinnier than before. She is now all skin and bones.
“Please help me to investigate the Su family,” Lu Yi spoke lightly. He had also lost quite a bit of weight. Both the father and daughter were competing to see who became thinner. Moreover, his eyes were full of blood vessels.
It was obvious that he had not been resting well this entire month.
“They...” Lei Qingyi did not inform him that he had done his investigation on them but he could not get anything out of it. Su Muran stayed in the house all the time, living her half-dead life without making any appearance. Since the kid in the Su family was gone, they had been keeping a low profile and they rarely stepped out of the house.
Xunxun’s little hands let go of the milk bottle. She opened up her big, watery eyes and fixed her gaze on her father. She then tugged her father’s shirt using both of her soft and tiny hands.
Lu Yi pinched his daughter’s tiny finger, then carried her to the window. He opened the curtains, allowing Xunxun to enjoy the scenery. Xunxun had been like this ever since Yan Huan was not around. She started to have a liking for looking at the scenery after she could not find her mother. In fact, she might have a greater desire to walk out but she was too small to leave the premise herself and it was freezing outside. Thus, she could only search for her mother through a layer of glass.
The surrounding air which was accompanied by a tinge of loneliness emanated from the pair of father and daughter had resulted in others to feel gloomy and unbearable.
Little Xunxun leaned on her father’s shoulders. Her watery eyes made others feel sorry for her. This kid was almost as skinny as a skeleton.
Lu Yi took out his phone and showed Little Xunxun a photo of Yan Huan.
“Mommy...” Little Xunxun hugged the phone; her eyes turned red. She did not know what happened and why everything had changed overnight. Her mother no longer embraced her or played with her.
She was still young so she might not understand, but after some time, she would forget her mother. If they could not find her mother, she would eventually forget what her mother looked like in the future.
Xunxun started crying, so did her father. Similarly, no one could come in contact with the sense of anguish at a place unknown to others.
That sadness, that anguish, no one could understand, no one could reach.
The child could cry out loud, but the man, her father had to restrain himself all the time.
Yan Huan opened her eyes again and she was completely numb. Hence, she could only let others apply all sorts of drugs on her, even more so like her previous life, taking away her blood so far as to drain out all the blood in her body.
The expression on her face remained emotionless. She still looked like a dead person even after those people had left. She was being caged in here, not knowing the location of this place. It was an enclosed space with no windows or sunlight. The only source of light that could brighten her eyes was the fluorescent lamps in the room. She could not feel the presence of sunlight, the rustling sound of wind or the fragrant scent of flowers.
