When Li Qingcang heard what Jing Zhichen said, he walked up to him and grabbed Jing Zhichen by his collar. He said, “After Gungun ran away, you just sit here all day?”
Jing Zhichen replied, “I’m waiting here in case she es back. What if she es back here and finds that I’m not home?”
“Jing Zhichen, are you that stupid? Gungun ran away from home. Why didn’t you tell us? We can help you find her. Gungun is not capable of protecting herself. Have you thought of what will happen if she runs into people with ill intentions? Have you wondered if Gungun will run into any trouble while she’s gone?”
Jing Zhichen’s face turned even paler after being scolded by Li Qingcang.
“QIngcang, where would Gungun go?”
!!
“How would I know?”
Li Qingcang wanted to smash open Jing Zhichen’s head to see if his brain was still there, but he couldn’t even say anything harsh when he saw how disheartened Jing Zhichen was.
“What time did Gungun run away last night?”
“I think it was around midnight.”
Jing Zhichen remembered that he had woken up around midnight and went into Gungun’s room.
He was worried that Gungun did not have her blanket on her, so wanted to go into the room to cover her with the blanket.
Gungun was not there.
He only saw the DNA report and a letter that Gungun left behind.
“Did you go out and look for her last night?”
Jing Zhichen nodded. “I went out to look for her but she was gone.”
“You’ve got to be kidding me, Jing Zhichen!”
Li Qingcang took out his cell phone and called Qie Yiyan. “Yiyan, Gungun has gone missing. I’ll send you her photo. Can you show it to your men and ask where they last saw her?”
“Okay.”
When Qie Yiyan received Gungun’s photo he started gathering his men to search for her.
The capital was a big place, so it was hard to look for her. It was easy for a young girl like Gungun to be taken advantage of by people with malicious intentions.
“Are you that stupid? Jing Zhichen, if a human trafficker catches a young girl like Gungun, she’ll be taken away. They’ll make her cut off her legs or dig her eyes out before forcing her out on the streets to beg. In the worst-case scenario, they will remove her organs before throwing her into a river or in the garbage can. Haven’t you read the news about cases like that?”
Every word that Li Qingcang said sliced through Jing Zhichen’s heart like a sharp razor knife.
He raised his hand and slapped himself across the face.
Ye Tianxin wanted to help, so she said, “Qingcang, you should go look for Gungun with Zhichen. I will stay here. I’ll give you a call if she es back.”
Li Qingcang nodded and grabbed Jing Zhichen. “Let’s go.”
He turned to Ye Tianxin and told her, “Tianxin, stay here. I’ll call Guan Chenxi and ask her to keep you pany.”
“Don’t worry about me. Just go out and look for her.”
Just when Li Qingcang left the villa with Jing Zhichen, Qie Yiyan called.
“Qingcang, Gungun left the villa at one o’clock last night. She got into a taxi with the license plate number 9528. The taxi was heading towards the wildlife park in the city.”
Jing Zhichen heard what Qie Yiyan had said as the phone was on speaker mode. Gungun had gotten into the taxi at one o’clock.
When he went into Gungun’s room at midnight, she was already gone.
Could Gungun have stayed in the garden during that time, waiting for him to go out and look for her?
