Chapter 25: False Alarm
Dean Lan looked at Sansa Ran with a questioning face and said, “Didn’t he run to your place? Not there?”
Sansa Ran looked at the uninformed Dean Lan, angry, blamed, “How can he be here? Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on Jeffrey? You’re sitting here by yourself, playing with your kids?”
Dean Lan opened his mouth and didn’t say anything. Jeffrey ran to Sansa Ran and he wasn’t paying attention.
Sansa Ran thought of the children trafficked by the traffickers and became more worried about Jeffrey, she did not want her children to be separated from her. The ice cream in her hand melted because of the heat and the liquid fell to her hand, but now she had no time to think about it.
Sansa Ran’s hand fell to the ground, helplessly squatting down and clutching her head, muttering: “What now, Jeffrey where are you?”
Dean Lan pulled Sansa Ran, who was crouched on the ground, up and said comfortingly, “It’s useless for you to be like this now, just get up and let’s go find Jeffrey together.”
Sansa Ran finally came back to her senses, glared at Dean Lan and said, “If Jeffrey is not found, I will never let you go.”
Dean Lan, knowing that he was in the wrong, changed the subject and said, “Let’s split up, you look this way and I’ll look that way, and we’ll meet there in half an hour.”
Sansa Ran could only panic and shout around, “Jeffrey, where are you? Come out, don’t play with mommy, she’ll be angry later.”
No matter how loud she yelled, no one responded.
Sansa Ran took out her phone and flipped through the photos of herself and Jeffrey, looking for people one by one in the playground and asking, “Hello, have you seen this little boy?”
The person being asked waved his hand and said, “Sorry, I haven’t seen him.”
Sansa Ran kept asking passersby, but the answers she got broke her heart.
Time kept ticking away, and the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
The two met again at the bottom of the Ferris wheel, and the answer was clear when they looked across at the man with empty hands.
Sansa Ran did not know how to describe her feelings now, and cried out in despair.
Dean Lan has never been with a woman before and did not know how to comfort Sansa Ran who was in tears in front of him. He could only clumsily pat Sansa Ran’s back and said, “I swear to you, I will definitely find Jeffrey, don’t cry.”
Sansa Ran’s heart is now full of anger, in her mind if Dean Lan did not watch Jeffrey, Jeffrey how would be missing. She blamed, “If it wasn’t for you, how could Jeffrey have disappeared? What do you give me to guarantee that you will find him.”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Dean Lan clenched his fist, and now he himself did not know what to give Sansa Ran to guarantee that Jeffrey would be found.
Passersby looked this way, no one knew what was going on, just wanted to be a simple spectator.
Sansa Ran could no longer bear the pressure in his heart and punched Dean Lan’s chest with his own hand, knowing that even this would not bring Jeffrey back, but how could the anger in his heart dissipate so easily.
Dean Lan was silent, letting Sansa Ran vent her anger.
Amy called at this time and said, “Mr. Lan, where are you now? The person in charge of the Hyn project with us wants to see you.”
Dean Lan didn’t have time to worry about that much, thinking about the lost and found child, he said anxiously, “The project is cancelled, now you bring someone to the amusement park immediately.”
Amy didn’t know what happened to make Dean Lan have mood swings, and asked in confusion, “Mr. Lan what is happening here?”
Dean Lan looked at Sansa Ran, who was crying, and said impatiently, “Jeffrey is missing from the amusement park, you tell everyone who is still at the company to stop what they are doing and bring them here immediately to find him.”
Amy said, “Yes.”
Dean Lan looked at Sansa Ran and said, “It’s useless for you to cry now, send me Jeffrey’s photo from your phone, I’ll have someone help find him.”
Sansa Ran had just heard the phone call and wiped her tears with a ray of hope and passed the photo to Dean Lan.
Dean Lan took Sansa Ran and continued to search aimlessly for Jeffrey in the amusement park.
Sansa Ran shouted Jeffrey’s name and kept looking for her son, but Jeffrey was still missing.
Seeing Sansa Ran looking around like a headless chicken, the amusement park staff stopped her and suggested, “Miss, the amusement park is so big, you can’t find it even if you look around like this. If it really appears that the child has been abducted and sold, it gives the traffickers an added advantage in terms of time.”
Sansa Ran is now confused and does not know what to do, helplessly said: “Then what should I do? Can you help me look for them together?”
The staff shook his head and said, “I need to run the rides here, I can’t leave. Do you see that staircase? You go up there is an office, you go to Miss Li there, she is responsible for the amusement park broadcast, should be able to help you.”
The staff member’s words made Sansa Ran feel like a lifesaver, and thanked her hastily. Then he followed the direction the staff pointed and went up the stairs.
Sansa Ran knocked on the door and entered the office.
Miss Li offered Sansa Ran a glass of water and said, “Hello, this lady. What can I do for you?”
Sansa Ran was out of breath from running and said incoherently, “The baby, help me find the baby.”
Miss Li has been in this amusement park for many years and has met many parents who have lost their children looking for them. So Sansa Ran’s words made Miss Li understand the meaning and said comfortingly, “You are looking for the child, right? Don’t worry, I’ve been working here for many years. Children lost in our amusement park, basically can be found. You first drink a glass of water to rest, the child’s basic physical signs told me. I will go to you to turn on the broadcasting equipment and mobilize the rest of the amusement park to look for it together.”
Sansa Ran, who now had any intention of drinking water, recalled Jeffrey’s attire today.
A few minutes later, only one voice was left echoing in the amusement park: “An emergency notice is being issued. Please be aware that a child named Jeffrey is now lost in the amusement park, wearing a red trench coat on top and jeans on the bottom. Please look around to see if there is such a child, if so please contact this number xxxxxxxxxxx. here on behalf of his parents thank you.”
Although the message was posted, there was still no response.
Sansa Ran was not willing to sit idly by and said goodbye to Miss Li and then went to the amusement park to look for him.
Time never stopped, and it was late into the evening, but there was still no word from Jeffrey.
