Chapter 867: She Went Missing
These were her beloved children. She was a useless mother in her past life, who could not take care of her own child. She was vulnerable to others which resulted in an unwilling abortion of her child. Her child did not even have any chances of living. What she ended up seeing was merely a piece of bloody flesh.
She lowered her head as tears began to form at the corner of her eyes, dripping to the back of her palm. She absolutely did not want to be separated from the children in her belly anymore, nor would she allow anyone to harm her children.
She quickly stood up and grabbed her clothes. After fumbling it for a moment, she managed to find some loose change.
She opened the door and pretended to be walking around the walkway, just like how she used to do. There were not a lot of people as she was in a special ward, hence she was the only person around. She would meet one or two nurses at most, who were already familiar with her. Of course, at times when they had nothing to do, they would request a few signatures and take a few selfies with her. However, due to Yan Huan’s current circumstances, the nurses could only keep the photos to themselves, and they could not share them out.
A few more familiar faces, Yan Huan lowered her head as she thought to herself. She wrapped herself tighter with her clothes as she continued her steps. However, she did not just walk back and forth around the place as usual. Instead, she went down via the elevator and walked out of the hospital without any hurdles.
She could feel the hot air blowing on her face when she reached the entrance of the hospital, and yet she was still feeling cold.
Maybe it was because of her thin clothes, or maybe…
It was despair.
She covered half her face with her hair as she continued to walk out of the place. Then, she got into a taxi and left the hospital.
Lu Yi had just reached the procuratorate and managed most of his tasks. He would visit Yan Huan in the hospital once he was done with his work. However, right after he sat down and even before he switched on the computer, he received a call from He Yibin.
“What did you say?” He stood up abruptly.
“You’re saying that she has disappeared? How can she disappear?” There were plenty of doctors and nurses there. “Why would she just disappear? Hold on, I’m coming over right now.”
Lu Yi quickly grabbed his clothes and rushed out. He did not have the time to switch off the computer on the desk as he scurried off with hasty footsteps.
By the time he reached the hospital, he immediately went to Yan Huan’s ward. There was nobody around as expected, even the clothes that Yan Huan had left aside were gone.
“How did this happen?” He asked the nurse in a low tone. Wasn’t she asleep before I left? He thought to himself. He thought she would still be asleep when he came again afterward as she usually slept for long hours, just like how she was at home. She felt drowsy easily now, otherwise, he would not have left her alone.
But… What actually happened? He had been away for less than half an hour, how could a person just go missing like that?
A few nurses who were questioned by Lu Yi instantly felt a gush of cold wind sweeping across them. Such an icy feeling was terrifying; it caused them to tremble. They felt innocent when they heard his question as they were also curious about the answer.
One of the nurses stole a glance at Lu Yi. However, it was only one glance as she was afraid to even catch a second glimpse.
“I really thought Miss Yan was just walking around as usual. But, she was already missing when I came to visit again.” The nurse’s eyes became watery as she spoke, it was as though Lu Yi was a scary uncle who came out of nowhere to bully a little kid.
Lu Yi turned around and walked out of the door. Coincidentally, he met He Yibin, who was also unaware of the situation. How could someone just disappear like that? This was illogical as she could not have escaped through burrowing or flying.
Besides, she was not in good condition right now. Should anything happen to her, nobody would be able to bear the cost of his children.
“I’ll take a look at the surveillance camera.” Lu Yi took out his phone and called Lei Qingyi to come over.
Lei Qingyi was shocked the moment he heard the news. Immediately he stuffed his chubby son into Yi Ling’s arms.
“What’s wrong?” Yi Ling instantly felt an uncomfortable feeling in her heart upon seeing the change of expression on Lei Qingyi’s face. “Is there something wrong?”
“No.” Lei Qingyi patted Little Lei’s small head. “It’s just something about work, I’ll be right back.”
“Go ahead.” Yi Ling waved her hand and carried Little Lei in her arms. After all, as long as her son was around, it did not matter to her where the father went. Hence, she did not ask any further.
As Lei Qingyi walked to the front door, he heaved a sigh of relief. He was worried that Yi Ling would continue to ask for the real issue. However, he could not let her know about this, or else she would have gone berserk. The matter at hand was already troublesome. If she started yelling and shouting, the matter would become even more troublesome as everyone would know about it.
Gosh, he really did not dare to think any further.
Yi Ling did not have any other talents but her rallying point was extremely terrifying. As long as she wanted to, all her busybody aunts would line up for her service. There was once when he accidentally touched her body after a fight with her. He did not have the intention to hit her and it was just an accident. He did not do it on purpose. The Lei family had been holding on to the principle that the men in the Lei Family should not hit a woman.
However, Yi Ling was positive that he hit her and told all the aunts right away. As a result, Lei Qingyi was criticized for the entire month. During that time, no one at home treated him well, it was as though he was a stray rat. Even Little Lei would look at her with watery eyes and comment that Dad had hit Mom.
For goodness’ sake, that’s really a matter of angles. He really had zero intention of hitting her, but as luck would have it, everyone thought he did.
Right now, he could not let Yi Ling know that Yan Huan had gone missing. Knowing Yi Ling’s temper, she would definitely rush to the hospital and create a scene. The most important thing for them to do now was to search for Yan Huan, and not to squabble or make a horrendous racket. No matter what happened, they had to find her and bring her back.
He hurriedly drove to the hospital, while Lu Yi and He Yibin sat together silently.
“Let me take a look at the surveillance tape.”
Lei Qingyi grabbed his hair and got ready to see the surveillance tape. There would definitely be surveillance cameras around the hospital. He would then be able to deduce something out of it once he watched the tape.
By the time the hospital extracted the surveillance tape, it was already around two o’clock. They could see Yan Huan coming out from her ward right after Lu Yi had left, wearing only an extra layer of clothes and slippers on her feet. However, it was obvious that she was making her way to the elevator.
