After returning home with the child, her ex-husband knelt down and gently coaxed her.

"You like him too!"

Huang Yuanyuan suddenly approached and startled An Ning with a sudden shout, causing her to quickly close the webpage.

Huang Yuanyuan interpreted her actions as a guilty conscience born of infatuation. She excitedly asked, "Isn't this CEO of Ou Teng incredibly handsome and authoritative? He's absolutely gorgeous! A celestial being! Even his back view is stunning!"

Huang Yuanyuan closed her eyes and sighed, "He's practically the kind of guy every woman wants to sleep with. If I could have a little romance with him, and kiss him a little, my life would be worth it!"

After saying that, she opened her eyes, then became serious again. "So, Anning, it's normal for you to like him too. Don't be shy. Not to mention that many women in our company like this President Lu, any woman who has seen his photo or seen him in person can't help but like him!"

"Yuanyuan," Anning turned her head and asked, "Are you very concerned about him?"

"Of course!" Huang Yuanyuan said without exaggeration, "From the day I joined Haowei, I knew our company was determined to cooperate with Ou Teng. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated! The first thing I did was to gather information about Ou Teng, and then guess what?"

Anning looked at her in confusion, only to see her suddenly open her round eyes and smile with a smug look on her face, "Of course I've fallen in love with him!"

She said indignantly, "Every time I'm exploited by Supervisor Sun and want to go on strike, I just like you do, I open the Ou Teng Group's website, look at President Lu's handsome face, and suddenly I'm full of energy, like I've been injected with adrenaline!"

As she spoke, she placed her hand on An Ning, looking at her with sympathy, "So you were just scolded by Manager Sun, and you must have wanted to see President Lu to ease your mood, right? I understand you."

An Ning seemed thoughtful, then asked her, "Do you know when he became chairman?"

"Just take office." Huang Yuanyuan said, her round eyes wide open. "These rich kids who inherit the family business can become chairmen of a large corporation at a young age."

"Do you know the famous Lu Group in our country? They're top-tier tycoons, and the Ou Teng Group is under their umbrella." After saying that, she whispered to An Ning, "I heard that this President Lu is the Lu Group's heir apparent."

An Ning asked doubtfully, "Shouldn't the Lu Group be taken over by his father first?"

"His father, the official news a few years ago was that he had retired and gone abroad for vacation." At this point, Huang Yuanyuan leaned mysteriously close to An Ning's ear, "But according to rumors, his parents may have passed away—"

"jingle--"

Huang Yuanyuan was interrupted by the ringing of Anning's cell phone before she could finish speaking.

The phone call came urgently.

An Ning glanced at the caller ID and quickly answered, "Sister Zhao, what's wrong?"

The next second, he suddenly stood up from his seat, his face deathly pale. "What did you say?!"

......

The taxi stopped on the side of the street.

An Ning's fingers trembled as she opened the car door and hurriedly got out.

Zhao Li was standing on the street, sweating profusely. When she saw her, she was at a loss for what to do.

"Miss An, Xuanxuan is missing!"

Zhao Li was so scared she almost cried. "I brought Xuanxuan back from the hospital and we bought groceries at this intersection. I told Xuanxuan to play by the door. After I paid, I turned around and couldn't see him anymore..."

Xianxian is gone!

Xianxian is gone!!!

An Ning's mind was filled with those words, her blood seemed to freeze, and her whole body went numb.

She and Zhao Li split up to search, their figures moving back and forth through various streets and alleys.

"Xianxian!"

"An Xuan!"

The name called out did not receive a tender reply.

An Ning felt so choked up that she could hardly breathe. Her clothes were soaked with sweat, and large beads of sweat dripped down her fair face.

After searching through the last fork in the road, she stood blankly at the street corner, her face so pale it was almost bloodless.

Looking at the endless stream of cars and people on the wide road, for a moment it was as if I had tinnitus and couldn't hear anything at all.

She heard nothing; her mind was completely blank.

"Miss An!" Zhao Li was covered in sweat, her face filled with guilt and worry. "Xianxian has never been a child who likes to run around. Do you think Xianxian might—"

"No way!"

An Ning instinctively retorted, sweat soaking the stray hairs at her temples, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, trying to reassure herself, "He won't be kidnapped by human traffickers...no way..."

But once the words "human trafficker" appeared in her mind, they began to gnaw at every nerve in her body.

Her whole body was ice cold and she was trembling uncontrollably.

The last nerve in my brain snapped completely.

She hurriedly picked up her phone, her hands shaking so much that she almost dropped it.

The call was answered quickly.

An Ning clung to the situation like a drowning person grasping at a straw, tears streaming down her face. "I need to call the police... my son... my son is missing... I can't find him..."

She crouched on the ground, choking back sobs, barely able to utter a complete sentence, "Please, please help me find him... he's only three years old..."

On the other end of the phone, the operator was asking the usual questions.

Anning, tears streaming down her face, clutched her aching chest and struggled to speak, "He's usually so well-behaved, he wouldn't run off... He's just gone... Please, please help me find him... I beg you..."

After understanding the situation, the other party said, "It will take 24 hours to file a case," which almost made Anning collapse.

Unexpected accidents can happen every minute and every second, let alone 24 hours!

Xianxian can't wait!

What if he really gets kidnapped!

An Ning was heartbroken and collapsed to the ground, covering her face and weeping bitterly.

"Miss An..." Zhao Li, who was standing beside her, also cried with guilt, "Could Xuanxuan's father think of something? Or does he know any relatives in the police force?"

Upon hearing this, An Ning suddenly looked up, revealing a pair of red, swollen eyes from crying.

......

The conference room of the Auten Group.

The sudden vibration of a cell phone interrupted the ongoing meeting.

The man in the main seat glanced at the caller ID and sneered inwardly.

It must be about cooperation again.

Cooperation is never that easy.

Without hesitation, he hung up, tapping the table twice with his long, slender fingers to signal the meeting to continue.

Immediately afterwards, the phone vibrated again.

The call was disconnected again.

The next second, the phone rang again.

Lu Xiyan glanced at the number "7" on the caller ID, his finger hovered over the hang-up button, hesitated for a second, and then slid to the answer button.

He answered with a stern face and a calm tone, "What is it?"

A panicked, helpless sobbing voice came through the phone, muffled whimpers, "west Yan... An Xian is missing... Can you please help me...?"
