Chapter 517 The Reason Why Bao Got Missing

Mei Ling'er: "Auntie, calm down first and tell me the details of what happened."

Grandma Qi Han was completely panicked. She wanted to calm down, but her anxiety and fear made her mind confused and she didn't know where to start.

Seeing her dull eyes, Wu Yilu guided her, "Auntie, you arrived at my house at 7:30. How long had it been since Erbao went missing?"

Qi Han's grandmother didn't directly answer Wu Yilu's question, but explained, "After I found out Erbao was missing, I immediately called the police, but they haven't contacted me yet. After calling the police, I couldn't just sit there and wait, so I started looking for him around the community. When I found you, I thought one more person would mean more strength, so..."

The woman looked her straight in the eyes, "What about Qihan's parents?"

When she heard the other party mention her son and daughter-in-law, Qi Han's grandmother's eyelids drooped and she pursed her lips like a suspect who refused to plead guilty. The fingertips of her left and right hands touched each other, but her fingernails never touched the ground firmly, and she felt insecure, as if she was floating in mid-air.

Wu Yilu couldn't bear to expose her true thoughts, but Mei Ling'er said bluntly:

"If you conceal the fact that Erbao is missing because you are afraid of being blamed by them, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

Qi Han's grandmother was sweating profusely. She was afraid her daughter-in-law would be angry, so she chose to search for Erbao alone. If she could find him quickly, it would also avoid a conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. And this time was different from the past. Her son would probably say a few words to her.

She glanced at Master Ling, who looked as if he could see right through her inner thoughts. That was true; Master Ling had probably already calculated everything. But she held onto her luck and said, "Master Ling, you're incredibly smart. You'll definitely be able to find Erbao."

"If I tell my son and daughter-in-law, two more people will be anxious and angry. The most important thing now is to find Erbao. Don't you agree?"

How could there be such a mother-in-law? At first, I felt sympathy for her, seeing her crying so hard because her grandson was lost again. But the more I listened, the more strange it seemed. Something must have happened when Erbao went missing.

[Yes, yes, I thought so too. This grandma has a calculating look on her face, and it's obvious she has a reason for it!]

Mei Ling'er shook her head, took a sip of boiled water, and continued to ask, "Can you remember when Erbao got lost?"

Grandma Qi Han frowned, pressed her temple with her right hand, rolled her eyes a few times, and replied dejectedly, "I can't remember, I really can't remember."

"Before I came to Xiao Wu's house, I searched all around the neighborhood and even rummaged through the bushes."

"I searched the entire neighborhood, including the slide where I usually take my second child to play. I searched every spot carefully."

"After searching our community, I went to Xiao Wu's community. I searched the area adjacent to ours, but I couldn't find Erbao."

"Erbao is still so young, where can he run to... wuwuwu... My hands are broken and my legs are bruised. I really don't have the strength to do it anymore. Xiao Wu also searched their neighborhood thoroughly, but still couldn't find him."

"Master Ling, please help me!"

"I'm really worried about Erbao!"

"As long as you can help me find Erbao, I can give you my gold chain, which my daughter-in-law bought for me recently." As she said this, she took the gold chain out of her neck and twisted it off.

"If these are not enough, I have a gold bracelet and a pair of gold earrings at home, all of which I can give to you! Please help me, please..." Grandma Qi Han knelt directly on the ground, clasped her hands together and saluted Mei Ling'er.

Mei Linger waved her hands, "I can't stand you doing this."

It’s not that she doesn’t want to help, but that there is no need to help at all.

Mei Ling'er took a sip of boiled water and said, "If you don't tell me the truth, no one can help you."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yilu said doubtfully, "Master Ling, I've actually been wanting to ask this for a while now. Erbao is only a year and a few months old and has just learned to walk. How could he have run very far on his own? Could he have been taken away by someone..."

"But that shouldn't happen. Auntie is watching Erbao all the time. If a dangerous stranger approaches, she will definitely react. How could she let someone take Erbao away?" The woman sighed heavily. She couldn't help but express her doubts. If Qi Han's grandmother was dissatisfied with this, she could only accept it.

There's something wrong with this grandmother. She evaded Master Ling's questions, only saying useless things or feigning pity. I've been listening for so long. How could a child who just turned one year old run away on her own and even run to the next neighborhood?

"I...I don't know either." Grandma Qi Han lowered her head and glanced around.

If you don't know, who would know? We're not like Master Ling, who can see through other people's thoughts.

Mei Linger smiled slightly, "If Erbao had always been in your sight, he certainly wouldn't have disappeared for no reason."

"And now you don't know where he is because you snuck away while you were taking care of the kids."

"This is the real reason why you don't dare to look for Qi Han's mother. A normal person's first reaction would be to check the surveillance. If Qi Han's mother saw the surveillance, you would definitely be in trouble."

"You haven't been telling me the truth. It doesn't look like you're sincere about finding Erbao. Should I hang up the video call with you?"

Qi Han's grandmother was petrified, her defenses instantly broken. She explained truthfully, "Master Ling, don't be angry. I told you what I was saying... I took Erbao to play at the east gate of the complex. Besides us, there were quite a few other people playing there. I put Erbao on the balance bike and went to the chess room next door to get toilet paper."

"When I got the paper, I happened to see my former poker friend, Lao Liu, playing cards. The cards she had were so good that she was confused and didn't know which card to play. So I helped her look at the cards. When I finished helping Liu and returned to the east gate of the community, Erbao was gone, leaving only the empty balance bike."

What was I saying? How could a one-year-old baby get lost? It must be the caregiver who didn't keep an eye on the child. Aunt Qian is really a jerk, leaving the child alone at the gate of the community.

Let's take a step back and say, couldn't we just carry the child in and get some paper?

The entrance to the residential complex is considered a relatively safe place, with surveillance cameras and security guards. Most people wouldn't dare snatch a child there.

Seeing someone speaking for her, Grandma Qi Han hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, we often play there, and nothing like this has ever happened."

Mei Ling'er had a bottle of boiled water in her mouth, and when she heard the woman's words, she almost spit out a mouthful of water.

"Has this never happened before?"
