Chapter 140
On the other side, Shi Shuning had not been in a good mental state for the past few days. Busy with company affairs on one hand and worrying about Ye Jinmeng's safety on the other, he had not had a proper rest for a long time. At this moment, he was lying on his desk dozing off.
"Ding, ding."
Two consecutive text message notification sounds woke Shi Shuning up. With hazy eyes, he picked up his phone and opened the message. Upon seeing the text, he immediately became alert.
He directly opened the location and sent it to Policeman Shi, then strode out of the office.
In the hospital, Xu Wanwan had just laid down on the hospital bed when her phone rang. Thinking it was a spam message from an unfamiliar number, she glanced at the message content, and Xu Wanwan sat up abruptly.
"Wanwan, what's wrong?" Gu Qi asked in confusion.
"Meng Meng, Meng Meng sent me a message. Quick, quick, contact the police..." Xu Wanwan trembled as she was about to call Policeman Shi.
Gu Qi and Ye Jinchen immediately became alert. At this time, Ye Junli rushed in from the neighboring old man's ward, waving his phone excitedly, "Meng Meng sent me her location, I'm going to find her now..."
"Dad, I'll go with you."
Ye Junli saw the anxious look on Xu Wanwan's face and nodded.
Gu Qi's eyes turned red, "You guys go, I'll take care of things at the hospital and look after Dad and Jinchen. You must bring our good girl back safely!"
"Okay!" Ye Junli replied, "Wanwan, let's go!"
Ye Jinchen saw Gu Qi's reddened eyes and hurriedly comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, everyone will come back safe!"
When Ye Junli and Xu Wanwan arrived at the parking lot, they received a call from Shi Shuning.
"Uncle, Meng Meng sent me her location. I've already forwarded it to Policeman Shi."
"I received it too. Wanwan and I are heading towards that location now."
Shi Shuning paused, "Okay, be careful."
While in the car, Xu Wanwan couldn't help but tell He Junting the good news. Worried about Xu Wanwan's safety, He Junting didn't think twice and immediately drove off after receiving the location.
One car after another sped through the silent night, with cars starting from different locations eventually converging.
A few police cars led the way, followed by Shi Shuning's group of private cars.
Tonight would undoubtedly be a sleepless night.
Ye Junwen finished his shower and heard the sound of a movie playing outside. He felt both tense and excited, never expecting that he would finally be with Meng Meng.
With anticipation, he opened the bathroom door, only for a blast of cold wind to dispel the warmth from his body.
Ye Junwen shuddered and looked up to find the bed empty. Turning his head, he saw the window wide open, with the curtains billowing in the wind. His heart sank as he rushed to the window to look outside.
Outside, a rope made of tied clothes swayed in the wind, but there was no one on the ground.
Ye Junwen couldn't believe that everything Ye Jinmeng had done was just to deceive him and escape!
He stumbled backward, listening to the movie playing on his phone. Ye Junwen turned his head to see the pink diamond necklace lying quietly next to the phone.
Ye Junwen's eyes widened as he picked up the necklace.
"Why! Why don't you even want to accept a necklace!"
Ye Junwen raised his hand and threw the necklace to the ground.
Ye Junwen's gaze darkened, and a bloodthirsty, demonic voice emerged from his throat, "Ye Jinmeng! You better run faster, or else, when I catch you, I'll break your legs!"
With those words, he left the room and called for Zhen Kechuan.
"What's the matter?" Zhen Kechuan was woken up, feeling annoyed.
"Ye Jinmeng has escaped!" Ye Junwen gritted his teeth.
"Escaped?" Zhen Kechuan's brows furrowed as he walked towards Ye Jinmeng's room.
Seeing the rope made of clothes tied to the window, Zhen Kechuan's expression darkened, "So she had been prepared."
Ye Junwen's face was cold, "She tricked me into coming to her room to watch a movie, and even tricked me into taking a shower. She must have escaped during that time."
Zhen Kechuan noticed the phone playing a movie on the bed and felt a sinking feeling, "Your phone was left here while you were in the shower?"
Ye Junwen nodded, and the next second, he realized something, his eyes widening, "Did she contact the outside world?"
"We can't stay here any longer. Hurry and put on some clothes, and let's go! Once we find a safe place, I'll help you capture Ye Jinmeng again!" With those words, Zhen Kechuan immediately ran towards the room.
"Damn it!" At this moment, Ye Junwen wished he could capture Ye Jinmeng and severely punish her, but since their location might have been exposed, they could only escape first.
Ye Jinmeng groped her way through the darkness in the forest, running frantically. She was exhausted but didn't dare stop, as it was too dark to see the path clearly. She kept bumping into tree trunks or tripping over roots, but she didn't dare make a sound, fearing that her location would be pinpointed.
She didn't know how long she had been running when she finally spotted what seemed like flashlight beams in the distance. Only then did she stop in her tracks.
Not knowing if it was friend or foe, Ye Jinmeng crouched down and slowly peeked out until the illumination revealed their clothing, and Ye Jinmeng stood up and started crying.
"Woo woo... police officer..."
The police dog barked a few times in her direction, startling everyone. They immediately shone their flashlights towards Ye Jinmeng, causing her to shield her eyes from the bright light.
Shi Shuning focused and saw her, "Meng Meng, it's Meng Meng!"
He immediately ran over and hugged Ye Jinmeng tightly.
Ye Jinmeng, feeling the familiar embrace, cried out loud, "Woo woo... Brother Shuning, I missed you so much! I was so scared!"
Shi Shuning patted her back soothingly, "Don't be afraid, it's safe now. I've always been here!"
Xu Wanwan and Ye Junli also approached. Ye Junli choked out, "Meng Meng, Dad is here too."
"Meng Meng, I'm here too!" Xu Wanwan followed.
Ye Jinmeng then emerged from Shi Shuning's embrace and saw her father and Wanwan, feeling even more aggrieved.
"Dad, Wanwan, you finally came..."
Xu Wanwan cried and hugged Ye Jinmeng. Ye Junli embraced both his daughters and patted their backs, comforting them, "Dad's taking you home!"
Policeman Shi saw this reunion and felt relieved. Thinking of the two fugitives, he continued to have the officers search according to the location.
Ye Jinmeng, upon hearing Policeman Shi's voice, raised her head, her voice choked with sobs: "Officer, I'll take you to find them, there's a castle over there..."
