Chapter 212 - Little Master Is Missing

************

CHAPTER 212

When Li Fengjin heard the opening of the door he had thought that Bai Renxiang had returned from the restroom.

But he would not have thought that he would see her son instead. He was perplexed. 

"Mister!" Bai Xiaojin shouted in relief to see someone he knows and can be of help in finding his mother. He ran to where Li Fengjin sat with wide eyes.

'What is he doing here?' Li Fengjin asked himself. Li Fengjin did not have to chance to stand yo from his chair when Bai Xiaojin pounced on him.

"Help me. My mummy is missing," Bai Xiaojin said.

Li Fengjin was shocked. But Bai Renxiang was just with him a few minutes ago. How come she had gone missing within that short amount of time?

Meanwhile, driver Jun was in a frenzy. He had begun to curse his fate and stupidity for leaving a three years old kid alone in a tinted black car with unlocked doors.

Why had he not chosen to carry the little master with him to get the ice cream? Of only he had none, that was what he would have done when Bai Xiaojin asked that question.

"His would I know that you are not lying?" Bai Xiaojin's voice rang at the back of Driver Jun's head.

"Oh no. What do I do? What do I do now?" He raked his hands through his good comb hair, scattering it in the process.

"Little master Jin?! Little master Bai Xiaojin, where are you?" He asked. 

He had lost it. People passing by could not gelo but strangely look at him. But driver Jun did not even give a fuck about the stares. Would they staring at him bring his little master back from where he had gone off to? Of course not. So why bother himself about them.

Driver Jun searched around the car. He even knelt on the floor to check if his little master was hiding under the car. If that was possible, he would them rejoice and not let the kid move an inch under his watchful gaze.

Swing as he had searched around everywhere around the car, he began to ask people sitting on a bench or walking by the roadside or just waiting to hail a cab.

"Please excuse me. Have you seen a boy of age three with black hair, blue eyes and around this height, around here?" He brought his hands a little bit above his knee as he asked a couple walking by.

"No, we did not. We are sorry," one of the couples said. Driver Jun sighed and he placed his hand on his head and waist.

"Hey. Please excuse me. Have you seen a little three years old boy with black hair, blue eyes, cute handsome face and thus height, walk oat here by any chance?" He asked another person and the answer was the same.

He went on asking people if they had seen his little master. Driver Jun describe everything describable about Bai Xiaojin but no one seems to have seen him.

Left with the last resort, he took out his phone from his pocket and decided to call Bai Renxiang. In just two rings, the call got connected and Bai Renxiang's voice could be heard.

"Hello, driver Jun," she said.

SILENCE

"Hello?! Driver Jun! Is anyone on the line? Hello?!" Bai Renxiang repeatedly asked. But yet the person on the other end of the call remained silent.

It made Bai Renxiang furrow her brows in confusion. She looked at the screen of her phone to be sure that it was her driver that called her. 

'It is driver Jun. Then why is he not answering me?' She thought.

"Hello. Driver Jun, are you playing pranks with me?" She asked with a stern voice.

"No, young miss," he finally answered.

"Oh! So you have found your voice. Now, tell me quick. Why did you call?" 

"It's... Young miss the... I am so sorry. I never meant for them to happen. It was all my fault. Please forgive me, young miss," driver Jun pleaded with a cracked voice. He was on the verge of bursting into their tears. He could not imagine what would befall him if something bad were to happen to his little master. Elder maser Jiang will bring his full wrath upon him.

Meanwhile, Bai Renxiang was confused at what the driver was talking about. What was he pleading for? What did he not mean to happen?

"Driver Jun, please speak up properly. I can't understand you right now. Tell me what is wrong," she urged him.

"It is the little master," driver Jun stalled.

"Uh-huh. What about the little master? What happened to Bai Xiaojin?" She asked. She was beginning to get impatient with all his stalling and half information. Can't he just go straight to the point and get things over with? 

"It... the little master is not here... Little master Bai Xiaojin is not in the car? He is missing. I can't find him... I am so sorry miss Bai... Please forgive me..."

As soon as Bai Renxiang heard tye disheartening news, it felt as if a thousand lightning bolts had struck her all at once. All that the driver was blabbering on the phone fell on deaf ears. Bai Renxiang stared into nothing as her lips and fingers trembled.

Her son. Her Bai Xiaojin had gone missing. 

Without even thinking, she dashed out of the restroom and fan back to the large room Li Fengjin was in. All that was playing in her mind was driver Jun's last words she heard before she went blank.

HE IS MISSING.

I CAN'T FIND HIM.

THE LITTLE MASTER IS NOT HERE.

Bai Renxiang ran without a care in the world. Her heart was pounding hard against her chest. Not long enough, Bai Renxiang reached the big black door and pushed it open. It made a loud sound as it collided with the wall behind it.

BANG
