100% Love from the Boss

Chapter 393 Pretend to Be Asleep and Be Ready to Run away!

Xia Xiaoluo didn’t get any useful information from Xia Youfeng. She couldn’t find Taotao, so she almost went crazy.

At the same time, through the surveillance videos of the airport, Yao Sheng saw the image of Xia Jingru. And after investigating, he doubted that Xia Jingru had used the ID card of Zhao Shuyuan, a woman from Macao. Zhao Shuyuan was more than thirty years old and she was a waiter in a Casino in Macao. Meanwhile, Zhao Shuyuan had some connections with Zhu Yufen.

Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo to the police station hurriedly. People of the Ling family and the Ouyang family, and the other relatives and friends who cared about Taotao also gathered there.

The richest man in A City lost his son because someone kidnapped the little boy in the school. It was a piece of big news there. Facing a group of people who were famous and powerful in A City, the police station was under great pressure.

Xia Xiaoluo and He Meishu couldn’t help crying badly. Men like Ling Desheng and Ouyang Feng could always control their emotions well, but apparently, they were also anxious and uneasy.

“Don’t worry, Xiaoluo. So many people are helping with it, so we can definitely find Taotao. Taotao will be OK!” Dou Ya comforted Xia Xiaoluo.

Ling Tianxue was sitting beside He Meishu, holding He Meishu’s hands. Ling Tianxue knew that He Meishu cared about Taotao very much. He Meishu looked almost collapsed.

At that time, Ling Tianyi’s mobile phone rang. All the people there held their breath, because they knew that a phone call at this time was of great importance.

“Yao Sheng, how is it now?” Ling Tianyi asked hurriedly. After the big event that Taotao was kidnapped, Ling Tianyi wasn’t calm anymore. It seemed that his tone was extremely anxious.

“Nothing new. That woman seems to have disguised herself. I’m trying to search for Taotao through the surveillance videos. But Taotao is so small that it is difficult to look for him if he is hidden somewhere.” Yao Sheng said.

“But we have to do something.” Ling Tianyi said. Yao Sheng didn’t tell him any good news, so Ling Tianyi became more anxious.

“I will make some active efforts. Our last clue is in the abandoned parking lot in the west of A City. I have checked it out, but there is no improvement. It isn’t in the area of the urban monitoring system, so I doubt that Xia Jingru will take Taotao to the villages and towns in the west of the city. I’m short of hands now, so you arrange some people to go there right now. I will tell them what to do.” Yao Sheng said.

“OK. I will do it at once!” Ling Tianyi said and hung up.

Ling Tianyi told it to the police, relatives and the friends there. All the people were willing to cooperate with him. They arrived there in only half an hour.

Being experienced, Yao Sheng made some simple arrangements. After that, they started to search for Taotao in some towns and villages nearby separately. Xia Xiaoluo and Ling Tianyi drove to the place where Taotao would probably be, Fuxin Town, together with some powerful friends of underworld that the Ling family could order.

At the same time, Xia Jingru took Taotao to escape in an unlicensed taxi.

Xia Jingru and Taotao were sitting at the back seat of the car. Xia Jingru kept closing her eyes to have a rest, she didn’t care about that Taotao, who was fainted due to the drug, would get hurt in the bumpy car.

Because of the jolt, Taotao finally woke up, he glanced at Xia Jingru secretly. Although he didn’t know Xia Jingru, he knew that he was kidnapped by someone evil.

Taotao didn’t cry or scream. Instead, he pretended to be asleep, sometimes he opened one eye secretly to observe the scene outside the window of the car.

Taotao touched his trousers pocket secretly, because there was a key ring with a small model plane on it. He planned to throw it out at the right moment in order to guide his daddy and mommy to look for him.

There were some buttons on his shirt, so he could also tear them down and throw them one by one at the key positions.

Finally, the car stopped at Fenghuang Village. Taotao kept pretending to be asleep. When Xia Jingru was carrying Taotao out, the small model plane in Taotao’s trousers pocket fell on the ground, and nobody noticed it.

Taotao kept pretending to be asleep. Because he knew that the woman who kidnapped him would watch him over more carefully, she would hit him or tie him up. Therefore, he had to pretend to be asleep, waiting for an opportunity to run away.

Not knowing that Taotao was awake, Xia Jingru carried Taotao into the village directly. One of her reliable relatives was living in Fenghuang village. That was the mother of Zhu Yufen, as well as Xia Jingru’s biological grandma.

Xia Jingru’s grandma was more than seventy years old, and she was weak as well. Long before, Zhu Yufen abandoned her mother after marrying Xia Youfeng, because she was going to live a better life. However, Grandma Zhu was a kind person, she often tried her best to send some native chicken and dry food to her daughter and granddaughter who lived in the city, making them taste the fresh food.

Grandma Zhu always cared about Zhu Yufen and Xia Jingru. Xia Jingru also knew about it, but she disliked the rural people from her heart. She looked down upon her biological grandma.

Although Xia Jingru hasn’t contacted her grandma for years, she knew that her earthy grandma really liked her from her heart. Therefore, she could only ask her grandma for help this time.

At the fork road of entering the village, Xia Jingru couldn’t bear Taotao’s weight, so she wanted to change a posture to carry him. At the same time, Taotao tore one brass button on his shirt down and threw it on the ground. He believed that his teachers, schoolmates, his daddy and mommy would be anxious after he disappeared. He also believed that they would look for him, finally finding him here.

They arrived at the house of grandma Zhu. When Xia Jingru put Taotao down and knocked at the door, Taotao tore another button down and threw it near the gate.

It was totally dark at that time.

Grandma Zhu’s husband died many years ago. Her only daughter went to the city, and seldom returned home after marriage. So she had been living alone for a long time. It was late now, so she locked the gate, having a rest at home.

Hearing that someone was knocking at the door, Grandma Zhu walked to the gate slowly. Because she lived alone, so she didn’t open the gate at once. Instead, she stood there and asked, “Who is that? Why do you knock at the door now? Talk to me tomorrow!”

“Grandma, it’s me! It’s Jingru!” Xia Jingru shouted hurriedly.

“Jingru? It’s impossible!” Grandma Zhu knew that her daughter left A City together with her granddaughter. She didn’t know where they have gone. So she didn’t believe that Xia Jingru would come to knock at the door when it was dark.

“Grandma, it’s me. I have come back. I have something urgent to do now. Grandma, open the door! It’s me, Jingru.” Xia Jingru was anxious. She would be discovered if she kept standing at the gate. It would be troublesome if someone came to find her.

“Jingru?” Grandma Zhu was old, so she couldn’t understand it quickly.

“Yes! Grandma, I’m your granddaughter. I come here to see you today.” Xia Jingru said patiently.

“OK! OK! My Jingru comes to see me.” Grandma Zhu became excited at once, and then she opened the iron gate with her shivering hands.

“Grandma, look at me. It’s really me!” Xia Jingru said to Grandma Zhu.

“Right! Right! Jingru has grown up, becoming more beautiful.” Grandma Zhu almost cried and said. When she met Xia Jingru last time, Xia Jingru was only 16 years old. Although so many years had passed, Grandma Zhu recognized Xia Jingru at once because of her appearance without any doubt.

“Grandma, is it convenient for me to come in?” Xia Jingru asked politely.

“Sure! Jingru, come in now. It’s autumn and it’s cold outside! Hurry up!” Grandma Zhu became excited, because she had been missing her daughter and granddaughter for many years. Her granddaughter finally came to see her, so she was extremely delighted.

Xia Jingru carried Taotao who was at the gate into the house, and put him on a shabby sofa in order to make him continue sleeping.

“Jingru, who’s the boy? He…” Grandma Zhu looked at Taotao excitedly. There was light in her eyes.

Grandma Zhu guessed that Taotao was the son of Xia Jingru. So she regraded Taotao as her own great grandson.

“He is the son of my friend. I was asked to look after him for a period of time, so I took him with me. He was weak, so he fell asleep on the way.” Xia Jingru didn’t want Grandma Zhu to know that she kidnapped Taotao, so she told a lie.

“Jingru, by the way, you are 26 years old now, right?” Grandma Zhu asked.

“Em! Grandma, you have a good memory!” Xia Jingru talked with Grandma Zhu. Even though she was evil sometimes, she could feel that her grandma treated her sincerely. Therefore, she kept chatting with her grandma patiently.

Taotao kept listening to their conversations secretly. He remembered the name “Jingru”, and he planned to tell it to the police later.

“Whether you…” Grandma Zhu cared about the marriage of her granddaughter, “Do you have a boyfriend now? Or have you…”

“Grandma, leave it alone. I know what I should do. Grandma, I’m hungry, is there something to eat?” Xia Jingru interrupted Grandma Zhu. She only loved Fang Ruichen who was going to get married. But she was not the bride.

“Right! Right! Look at me! I am too stupid now. You come to see me from far away, but I’m busy talking with you. I forget to cook some delicious food for you.”

Grandma Zhu said and took some fruit to Xia Jingru hurriedly, “Jingru! Have some oranges. I planted them by myself. I am going to cook some food for you now.”

“Grandma, just something to eat is enough. Don’t make too much.” Xia Jingru said while she was peeling an orange.

“It’s OK. You come here, so I’m delighted!” Grandma Zhu went to the kitchen to cook for Xia Jingru.

Xia Jingru glanced at Taotao, she found that Taotao’s eyes were still closed, “You look like your mother very much. You are both lazy pigs!

Taotao was irritated because Xia Jingru not only abused him but also his mommy. However, he was reasonable, so he controlled his anger. He couldn’t conflict with the woman, he had to continue pretending to be fainted.

Taotao was waiting for an opportunity all the time. As long as Xia Jingru went out, he would run away. The marks could not only help his daddy and mommy to look for him, but also help him to run away.

Seeing that Taotao was in a deep sleep, Xia Jingru wanted to see Grandma Zhu after she ate an orange.

Xia Jingru finally left the living room. Taotao opened his eyes and looked around. He left a brass button in the room and got down from the shabby sofa secretly. It was the only opportunity. After pretending to be asleep for a long time, he finally got the opportunity to run away.
