Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
However, when the news reached Mei Shu’s ears, she had no time to be happy.
Because Mei He had been lost.
Zhao Yan anxiously said over the phone, ‘Miss, I’m sorry, it’s my negligence. It’s common for Young Master Mei He not to go out for meals. In addition, he doesn’t like people entering his room, so I’ve always had servants place the meals outside the door of his room. But today, the lunch that was sent over has been untouched all this time. That’s when I found it strange, and only upon entering did I discover that there was no one inside!”
“Got it. Ask the security guards in the community to check the surveillance cameras and find the direction where Xiao He left.” Mei Shu carried her bag and walked out as she instructed calmly.
Butler Zhao quickly went to do something.
Wen Miao had wanted to ask Mei Shu to stay for a while to revise. Seeing that she was frowning, her heart skipped a beat. “What happened?”
Mei Shu said, “My brother might be lost. I have to go back and find him.”
Wen Miao said without hesitation, “Then I’ll go back with you. 1 can help you search nearby. The more people there are, the higher the chance of finding him.”
Mei Shu hesitated for a moment and nodded. “Okay, thank you in advance.”
“Don’t stand on ceremony with me.”
As they talked, they took a cab home.
This was the first time Wen Miao had come to the Mei family.
She had always known that Mei Shu’s family was rich, but she didn’t know that her family lived in a big villa. The interior of the house was magnificent, like a star hotel. She became uneasy for a moment.
If it were in the past, Mei Shu would have noticed her change, but now, Mei Shu was obviously not in the mood to pay attention to anything else. When he saw Zhao Yan, he hurriedly walked over. “Uncle Zhao, have you found the surveillance cameras?”
“Miss, there are a total of four exits in our community. Three of them are intact, but there’s no trace of Young Master Mei He inside. The other one was broken not long ago and hasn’t been repaired. If Young Master really left the community, he must have walked out of that exit.”
“Have you searched the community carefully?” Mei Shu put down his bag, got up, and walked out.
Zhao Yan reported as he followed, “We’ve sent people to search the community for him. I’m sure they haven’t found any. Young Master Mei He should be no longer nearby.”
“Got it.” Mei Shu took a deep breath and suppressed the worry in her heart. She instructed calmly, “Call Mei Feng and Mei Jing and ask them to come back immediately after school to help find Mei He. When Mei Yan comes back, ask him to stay at home and not run around.”
“Understood.”
As he spoke, Mei Shu had already walked out of the courtyard.
Zhao Yan looked at the weather that suddenly became gloomy and couldn’t help but persuade her, “Miss, it looks like it’s going to rain soon. You’d better wait for their news at home. I’ve already sent many people out. They should be able to find them.”
“No, 1 want to find Xiao He in person. We can contact each other by phone at any time.” With that, Mei Shu ignored Zhao Yan’s obstruction and led Wen Miao out of the community.
On the way, she could hear the servants and maids calling Mei He’s name everywhere, but there was no response.
She was getting more and more anxious, and her footsteps were so fast that Wen Miao couldn’t keep up with her. She could only trot beside her.
“Why don’t we call the police?” Wen Miao glanced at the sky and suggested.
Mei Shu shook her head. “The police don’t handle cases of missing persons until it’s been more than twenty-four hours. Let’s search on our own first. Xiao He is timid and unfamiliar with this area. If he left home on his own, he shouldn’t have gone too far. I’m worried that someone deliberately took him away.”
Hearing this guess, Wen Miao was shocked. “Who could it be?”
Mei Shu shook his head and said, “Mei Mu has been taken away by the police, and Wang Yue hasn’t come out yet. 1 really can’t think of anyone else who will deliberately target Xiao He. Let’s find him first. Thank you for accompanying me. If it rains later, take a cab home.”
“It’s okay. I’ll go back after I find Xiao He. I’ve already called my mother.” Wen Miao said, “We are good friends. Now you need help. How can I just sit by and watch?”
“Thank you. Then 1’11 start from this street.” Mei Shu pointed to the left side of the community after leaving the gate.
Wen Miao naturally chose the other side. “Then let’s contact each other by phone at any time.”
“Okay.” After the two agreed, they began to split up.
At this moment, the cries in the community alarmed people in the villas.
Lu Si frowned and glanced out of the window impatiently. “It’s so noisy. What happened?”
Jiang He looked out too and said, “I’ll go out and take a look.”
Lu Si continued to work with an impatient look.
Soon, Jiang He came back in a hurry. “Master Si, bad news. Miss Mei’s younger brother, Mei He, is missing. They’re looking for him everywhere.”
“What did you say?” Lu Si suddenly threw away the document in his hand, got up, and looked out of the window. Sure enough, he saw a few familiar servants. He immediately instructed, “Check all the surveillance cameras near the community.. Be sure to find Mei He immediately!”
