Chapter 2723: You are the only one I can count on now.

The politician paused, then he added. “The fact that he willingly put down his face and traveled far just to seek that woman with his men showed that she has an important place in his heart. At the very least, she weighs much more than you do. If she’s a scheming person, she can put you in place even without marrying into the Mu family.”
“That b*tch…” Song Enya gritted her teeth in fury. “In that case, what should I do?”
“Since he wants to bring that woman back to the capital, we shall just let him do so.”
“Are you saying that we should ignore the situation and let him bring back that woman to continue her pregnancy?” She could not understand her father’s reason for suggesting such.
With a wicked grin, the man told his daughter, “No need to be so impatient; there are plenty of ways to make her lose the child. Things are still in your favor as long as that child remains unborn.”
The sulky missy flipped her head to the side at that.
He heaved a heavy sigh before confiding in a gentler tone. “Your brother’s future is as good as ruined after what happened to him, while your sister is still young and insensible. You’re the only one whom I can count on now!”
“Dad…” Her eyes turned red at this point. “This is a dreadful life to lead!”
“Who d’you think is responsible for this?” His anger surged again at that reminder. “Wasn’t it your fault for playing such a lousy game despite having a good hand? You refused to listen to our advice when we told you to give up on Mu Yazhe!”
“I-I…” She stuttered, knowing that she was in the wrong.
“From now on, just do as I say; d’you hear me? Don’t go making rash decisions and acting of your accord. As your father, I won’t harm you. You’re still young; don’t ever do such foolish things again.”
She bit her lip and mumbled, “I-I got it…”
…
It was a dark and windy night.
In the ward of Yan City’s First Hospital, Chu He stood in front of a window, looking solemn, as she stared at the night sky. Albeit her calm expression, feelings of unease filled her mind.
She was a person who could maintain her composure in the face of any adversary, but when it came to her son’s disappearance, she could not help panicking. It was just that, unlike the other mothers, no hysteria or mad agitation could be seen on her face. Her worst state was just her accidentally spilling the cup of water onto the ground out of heedlessness.
Naturally, she was quite worried about her son, but she knew that panicking would do nothing to help her. She needed to stay rational and clear-headed at times like this.
Twenty-four whole hours had passed since Baby Chu’s disappearance, but she did not report the case, for even she could not provide any clues to the police. Without any clues, there would not be much progress to the investigation.
In hopes of tracking her son’s location, the woman rushed to the police station that morning but soon realized that she had no clue or lead on his whereabouts.
How am I gonna find him?
Black Dragon Pool is a backward village that has only a handful of CCTVs installed. Apart from speed cameras, it’s rare to even find one for surveillance on highways.
Besides, I don’t even have any information about the vehicle, including its license plate.
Meng Qingxue was still sleeping at the hospital, so the policewoman could only return there and wait for the woman to wake up before asking her for clues in order to make further plans.
