Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 506 - 504 Zaizai Disappeared

Zaizai’s eyes widened in surprise as he got off the slide and walked over to the man, hesitantly asking from behind the fence, "Who are you taking me to see?"

"Your godfather asked Uncle to pick you up and take you to see him," the man replied, squatting down with a smile to be on the same level as Little Meatball.

Godfather?

Has godfather returned to the country?

Zaizai felt a surge of excitement, but he was still very guarded, crossing his arms, "Godfather once said that I couldn’t go with anyone but Mommy, Grandma, or godfather himself. If godfather wanted to see me, why wouldn’t he come himself?"

"You know your godfather is running for mayor, don’t you?" the man said patiently.

Zaizai nodded, "I know."

A few days before godfather left, he had taken him and Mommy shopping at the supermarket. Some reporters had chased them for an interview about the mayor thing, but then Zaizai had watched from the car as those reporters were scolded by godfather until they scurried away, defeated.

"During the mayoral campaign, many people are watching Mr. Huo’s every move. Mr. Huo isn’t married yet, and if people saw him picking you up from kindergarten, those who want to strike at Mr. Huo would take note. They’d certainly start rumors and slander him. Do you want to see godfather get stabbed in the back and lose the chance to become mayor?"

Zaizai’s big eyes flickered as he considered this, "I don’t want that."

"That settles it, then. Hurry on out, Zaizai. Your godfather must be eager to see you by now," the man urged.

Still wise beyond his years, Zaizai’s gaze turned scrutinizing, "But even if godfather sent someone, it would usually be Uncle De who comes. I don’t know you, and I haven’t seen you at Disheng Villa. How can I know you’re really godfather’s person?"

The man spoke softly, "Your family used to live in Fuyah Residential Area, and your mommy is a senior assistant designer at Yundu Women’s Clothing Design Department. And your godfather is the major behind-the-scenes shareholder of Yundu, right?"

Zaizai hesitated for a moment.

The man lowered his voice further, "Hurry up. If those paparazzi journalists see that your godfather sent me to pick you up and they get a photo, it would be problematic."

Although still half-doubtful, Zaizai was really worried about his godfather and walked to the entrance of Qixing Kindergarten.

Concealing his excitement, the man was just about to take hold of Zaizai’s hand when Zaizai furrowed his brows, "Wait a second." Saying this, he took out a children’s cellphone and dialed his mommy.

But he was greeted with the sound of a phone turned off; oh right, Mommy had said her phone was out of battery earlier.

"It’s okay, Zaizai, Uncle will call your mommy once we get in the car," the man said, his voice becoming more urgent as he pointed to a modest, inconspicuous minivan parked nearby.

Zaizai, who had been on the verge of trusting the man in front of him, suddenly felt his wariness spike at the man’s momentary anxiety.

"Then I’ll go tell the teacher first," Zaizai said, turning around and preparing to run toward the classroom.

A flash of ruthlessness crossed the man’s eyes, and seeing his chance slipping away, he quickly moved after him, "Zaizai, Uncle will explain it to the teacher too—don’t worry."

Zaizai instantly understood something was not right, his expression changing, "Liar! If godfather were coming to get me, he would have let the teacher know!"

The man’s face darkened, and without hesitation, he hoisted Little Meatball over his shoulder, covering his mouth and nose with his hand and signaling to the people in the vehicle to swiftly slide open the door and get the child inside.

With a "bang," the door shut and the car sped away from Qixing Kindergarten, vanishing into the distance!

By the time Jiayi finally rushed to the kindergarten, she hurriedly got out of the car without even catching her breath and ran towards the garden.

She was considerably late, and by that time all the children had been picked up. Zaizai must have been impatiently waiting all by himself.

Just as Jiayi entered the kindergarten, she ran into a teacher head-on. It was Zaizai’s class teacher, who looked visibly sweaty and panicky.

"Mrs. Chu Zhuoting, you’re here. Did you pick up Chu Zhuoting?" she asked.

Jiayi’s heart skipped a beat. "No, I didn’t."

"Chu Zhuoting said he would go to the playground to wait for you while playing on the slide, but he didn’t come back for a long time. When I went to look for him, he was nowhere to be found. Some children on the playground said they saw him talking to a man for quite a while, and then he was taken onto a black car. I tried calling you, but your phone was out of battery and kept turning off."

Jiayi’s ears buzzed with the sound. What did this mean? Was Zaizai taken away by someone?

It couldn’t be... She wasn’t any kind of tycoon. The children at Qixing Kindergarten all came from prominent backgrounds. Even if someone were to kidnap a child, they wouldn’t kidnap Zaizai.

She quickly borrowed the teacher’s phone and called her mother, asking a few questions. As expected, her mother was also unaware of the situation.

Jiayi’s heart plummeted, but there was no time to think more; she and Zaizai’s class teacher rushed to the nearby police station together.

By the time they finished giving their statements at the police station, it was already nine at night.

Based on the class teacher’s account, the police constructed a composite sketch of the suspect.

The man who had forcibly taken Zaizai was estimated to be between forty and fifty years old, wearing a suit, slightly overweight, roughly 175 cm tall, and driving a black van. He looked like he could be an assistant or bodyguard for some high-ranking person.

"Alright, we’ve taken note of everything, you can go back for now. We will notify you if we have any news," the officer stated matter-of-factly as he stood up after the questioning was over.

"Is that it? Officer, will you conduct a city-wide search now? When will there be any news about my son? Who exactly took my son? We’re not wealthy, are the kidnappers part of a human trafficking ring?" Jiayi burst out, standing up as well. She had been through a whole evening of questioning, her face pale, her heart wrenching continuously; she had been clenching her will, which was the only reason she hadn’t collapsed.

"We will start with a search around Qixing Kindergarten. If we don’t find him tonight, we will expand the search area tomorrow. But, as for a city-wide search, Miss Chu, I believe you understand that the police have limited manpower and resources. We have a pile of much more serious criminal cases at the police station, and we can’t neglect all other cases just to help you find your child. Of course, we can sympathize with your situation. For now, go back and wait for news, and as soon as we have any updates, we will notify you immediately. Also, be vigilant at home. If anyone contacts you about your child, inform us immediately," said the officer in a detached tone. He was well-practiced in handling cases of missing children and dealing with anxious parents.

After speaking, the inquiring officer left.

The police’s words sounded dismissive, no matter how Jiayi heard them. She felt herself going weak, thankful that the kindergarten teacher was there to support her and keep her steady.

"Mrs. Chu Zhuoting, now all we can do is go back and wait for news from the police," the kindergarten teacher said with a mournful face.

Stepping out of the police station’s gate, Jiayi was still in a daze. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

She couldn’t take in a single word of the teacher’s apologies, her soul felt as if it was being sucked out, with only one phrase echoing in her ears: Zaizai had been abducted.
