“Auntie Dong, please don’t worry. Maybe Coco went to play somewhere else and will come back soon,” she whispered, trying to console the distressed Auntie Dong.
“No, it’s different this time. He won’t come back,” Auntie Dong shook her head repeatedly, her voice filled with anguish. “Xiao Xiao saw him being abducted by two men in black with his own eyes.”
Shen Ning’s eyes turned icy, and she said softly, “In that case, Auntie Dong, you go upstairs to take care of Xiao Xiao. 1’11 go talk to the property management.” Xiao Xiao must be terribly frightened right now!
With tears in her eyes, Auntie Dong nodded and slowly made her way upstairs.
Shen Ning immediately contacted the property management and explained Coco’s disappearance. They took it seriously and dispatched several security guards to search the community. The apartment complex wasn’t large, but they couldn’t find any trace of Coco. They also reviewed the surveillance footage, but there were no suspicious individuals entering the community.
“Miss Shen, it’s only been three to four hours since your child went missing, and we haven’t seen any suspicious individuals entering the community. I suggest you check nearby places first. It hasn’t been twenty-four hours yet, so the police won’t take action,” the property manager advised seriously.
Without hesitation, Shen Ning rushed outside.
“Coco, Coco!” she cried out as she frantically searched the area around the community.
Soon, in a secluded overgrown area next to the community, she found a small car lying there. She hurried over, picked it up, and recognized it as the toy car Coco had been playing with earlier in the morning.
The car appeared to have been dropped forcefully, with two of its wheels missing.
“Coco, Coco!” she cried out in anguish.
But there was only silence among the rustling leaves.
She took out her phone and snapped a photo of the scene before rushing back home.
“Xiao Xiao, take a look. Is this the place where those two men took Coco?” Shen Ning showed Xiao Xiao the photo she had taken with her phone.
Xiao Xiao only glanced at it and tearfully nodded.
“Xiao Xiao, please tell Mommy what happened. How did this happen?” Shen Ning anxiously asked, wiping away her daughter’s tears.
Xiao Xiao choked up as she spoke, “Mommy, I don’t know what happened. Coco and 1 were playing in the community. He was playing with his toy car, and I was jumping rope. Suddenly, Coco’s car went outside the railing. He ran to pick it up, and when I turned around to look, I saw two men in black clothes putting Coco into a big sack and throwing him into a car. 1 shouted loudly, but the two men jumped into the car, and it drove away.”
As Xiao Xiao finished her account, she burst into tears.
Winter Aunt also started crying.
Shen Ning stood there in shock, feeling anxious, panicked, and in pain, all flooding her heart at once. She felt like the world was spinning.
The thought of Coco falling into the hands of those ruthless criminals twisted her heart like a knife.
She stood there with her phone, feeling lost and not knowing what to do.
Despair and fear overwhelmed her, making her feel dizzy.
Suddenly, she remembered something and immediately dialed a number.
“Ningning, what’s going on?” Li Zhijun was in a bar singing karaoke and playing mahjong with a group of wealthy kids when he saw Shen Ning’s call. He picked up immediately.
“Li Zhijun, let me ask you, did you tell anyone about Coco’s secret and our address?” Shen Ning’s voice was hoarse as she questioned.
Li Zhijun was taken aback. “Ningning, what do you take me for?”
“But do you know what? Coco is missing now, and 1 can’t find him anymore,” Shen Ning shouted uncontrollably. “Since 1 moved here, you are the only one who knows this address..”
