Chapter 154 Cui Yunye has disappeared
Chapter 154 Cui Yunye has disappeared
"Fog..."
In the last second before he completely lost consciousness, Shang Tingyan seemed to see Jiang Liwu's slightly panicked gaze; she turned to him.
……
Not long after she returned, Cui Yunye's subordinates hurriedly reported to her that Cui Yunye had gone missing.
"Missing? How could he be missing? Are you sure? Have you searched carefully? Maybe he's not missing?" Jiang Liwu's spirits lifted, and a sense of panic spread through her heart. Thinking that Cui Yunye might still have intermittent flare-ups of his legs that rendered him unable to move, she frowned slightly.
A pair of dark, cold eyes stared at his subordinate with an oppressive gaze.
The subordinate felt a chill run down his spine. "We've searched everywhere—at home, at the company, the gym, the club—anywhere the boss might go. He's not here. Most importantly, we can't contact him at all." This was the real reason for reporting him missing; they couldn't reach him at all.
Because of Jiang Liwu's importance to Cui Yunye, they dared not hide anything from him.
Cui Yunye never travels alone because his leg injury can flare up at any time, so he rarely brings subordinates with him. He has many bodyguards protecting him, but this time when he disappeared, no one saw how he vanished.
"Think carefully again about where else he might go, and what you might have overlooked?"
As Jiang Liwu spoke calmly, the subordinates' chaotic thoughts inexplicably calmed down a bit, and they began to recall the events.
Suddenly, the subordinate had an idea and his eyes lit up. He said, "We'll also go to the welfare home, play with the children, and sometimes stay for the whole day. We go every year."
“The welfare home…” Jiang Liwu thought of how Cui Yunye had left for twenty years after losing Grandma Cui, and her heart sank.
Before she came back, Cui Yunye was an orphan.
Liu Zai has always had a tough time, shouldering everything at a young age. He was forced to grow up, become sensible, and mature at a very young age.
"He lives in the welfare home."
Thinking of her promise to Cui Yunye, Jiang Liwu was quite certain of Cui Yunye's current position.
"Take me there."
Jiang Liwu's subordinates immediately arranged a car, and she got in.
In the car, Jiang Liwu asked, "What do you usually bring for the children when you go?"
"Just some daily necessities, clothing, stationery, toys, and so on." Other things include improving the conditions of the welfare home, such as ensuring meals meet the required standards, improving living quarters, adding a library, and building various recreational facilities.
"Then don't miss it this time either."
The subordinate replied respectfully, "Understood."
Halfway there, Jiang Liwu had his subordinates stop the car.
She got out of the car, and several bodyguards immediately followed her.
She came to a flower shop where hundreds of flowers were in full bloom, and the air was filled with a fresh and rich floral fragrance. Jiang Liwu was attracted by the bright orange-yellow sunflowers, so she asked the owner to make her a bunch.
While waiting for the flower bouquet to be finished, she went to a nearby candy store and selected several delicious candies to be packaged into a small gift box.
Holding flowers and a gift box, Jiang Liwu got back into the car.
Upon hearing this, a subordinate couldn't help but remark, "When the boss visits the orphanage, he also brings candy gift boxes for the children."
He cautiously added, "There are quite a few children, so one bouquet per gift box might not be enough..." It seemed that even one flower and two candies per child wouldn't be enough...
"This is for one person only, the child I'm taking away."
"Huh?" The subordinate was taken aback.
Weren't they going to find Cui Yunye? How did it turn into Jiang Liwu planning to adopt a child?
However, his subordinates dared not object to this decision.
Let alone taking one, the Cui family could afford to support them all.
Seeing her subordinate's expression, Jiang Liwu knew he had misunderstood, but she did not explain.
……
Cui Yunye was indeed at the orphanage. He was dressed very elegantly and formally, obediently gazing at the orphanage gate and the street outside, waiting.
The children circled around him, saying, "Brother Yunye, your legs can really stand up."
"Thank goodness, your leg is alright."
"Brother Yunye, come play football with us!"
When a child tried to hold Cui Yunye's hand, Cui Yunye refused with a stern face.
He looks particularly fierce when he has a straight face, with a thuggish air, sharp eyebrows, and a ruthless and merciless demeanor.
But the children aren't afraid of Cui Yunye because they know his inherent gentleness and patience.
Still puzzled, she touched her chin and asked, "Why?"
Cui Yunye came to the welfare home to visit them, talk to them, play with them, and be their friend, didn't he?
"Because I have something very important to do today, something extremely important."
The children pressed, "What's wrong?"
Cui Yunye said earnestly, a faint smile playing on his lips, "I'm going to be adopted, I'm going to have a home."
The children looked at each other in surprise and shock, "Really?"
"Brother Yunye is going to have a home."
"Brother Yunye should have a family long ago."
"Is it the one you've been waiting for... um..." Someone frowned, counting on their fingers hesitantly, then remembered, "The one you've been waiting for for twenty years?"
Cui Yunye's smile deepened, and he nodded, "Yes."
You see, in the eyes of children, that person is a liar. If they really wanted to take him home, why would they make people wait for twenty years?
Therefore, they were very skeptical about the authenticity of this matter, but did not want to hurt Cui Yunye too much.
Will she really come to take you home?
Cui Yunye, with his thick eyebrows and deep-set eyes, was very determined. "Yes, she will come. She will find me soon."
Everyone was so curious about who this person was that Cui Yunye had waited so many years for, they wanted to see who it was, so they stopped talking about going out to play and waited with Cui Yunye.
They looked around, and suddenly a sharp-eyed child shouted, "A car is coming this way!"
Cui Yunye's eyebrows twitched, his fists clenched, and tension betrayed his clenched bones. He tugged at his clothes, straightening them even more, unable to conceal the surging excitement and anticipation within him.
However, the people who got out of the car were not Jiang Liwu, but a group of his subordinates, each of them carrying gifts and daily necessities for the children at the welfare home.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised, and their attention was drawn to these things.
Cui Yunye loosened his grip, his eyes suddenly dimmed, and he even lowered his head a little.
It was his subordinate who came to see him, not Jiang Liwu. It wasn't surprising that his subordinate could find him, since it wasn't the first time he had come.
They probably mistakenly thought he was there to visit the children.
He always brought things with him when he came, but this time he brought nothing but himself. So his subordinates prepared the items for the children as usual.
He has already recognized Jiang Liwu, and should be content. Perhaps he shouldn't have made such a fuss.
