CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

Chapter 258 - Mo Chen Is Missing



After Lin Qianru said that she might have signed the note when she was not wearing her glasses, she didn't hear her daughter's voice for a few moments.

She thought that her daughter was angry on Mo Chen so she couldn't help but try to pacify her

"Roulan, don't be so worried. It is a school trip. Mo Chen will come back safely. You should try to understand him. It was his first trip. He must have been afraid that you will refuse and hence did this."

"I …I know, Mom."

Mo Roulan said to her mother. However, it could be sensed from her voice that she was not happy with whatever had happened. 

When Mo Roulan put down the phone after hearing Lin Qianru's words, her face didn't look that good.

Her lips were pressed in a thin line as if she was angry.

However, she was not angry. 

She was just a little disappointed and hurt.  She tried to tell herself that Mo Chen was just a child who didn't even know what kind of danger he was in.

A moment later, she walked to Teacher Dong who was still standing at the school gates.

"I am sorry, Teacher Dong. Actually, Mo Chen told my Mother about this trip and my mother forgot to tell me."

Although Mo Chen did wrong, Mo Roulan was not going to tell his teacher about this. However, when he comes back, she will surely teach him a good lesson.

Teacher Dong was a very generous and gentle lady. 

So she accepted Mo Roulan's apology. 

"Teacher Dong, can you please tell me about what time Mo Chen will come back?"

Teacher Dong smiled as she could sense the worry in Mo Roulan's voice so she told her softly

"Miss Mo, Mo Chen will return until this evening. You don't need to worry. The school bus will drop the children to their houses."

She intentionally added.

"It is a very safe trip, Miss Mo. All the teachers that we have sent with the children have managed many trips before from the school. So you can be assured that Mo Chen will be very safe."

Mo Roulan forced a smile and thanked Teacher Dong for this assurance.

Teacher Don's phone suddenly started to ring so Mo Roulan took it as a sign to leave.

She had just turned around to walk towards the car when she heard Teacher Dong's sudden shout.

"What?"

Mo Roulan just stopped at a place. She didn't even turn around as she tried to assure herself that the panic in Teacher Don's voice must not be because something happened on the trip.

It could be her personal matter also.

However, she couldn't stand at the same place anymore and assured herself when she heard Teacher Dong asking someone on the phone.

"Where can he even go? Search around…he must be there."

God knows what the person on the other side of the phone said but Teacher Dong's face looked solemn suddenly

"It is a big forest. Call the officers and ask them to help you. I will tell principal Sir about this matter right now."

Saying this, Teacher Dong had just put down her phone and was about to go inside to talk to the principal when Mo Roulan blocked her way and said   

"What happened, Teacher Dong? Is everything fine on the trip?"

Teacher Dong had not expected that Mo Roulan was still there or perhaps in her panic she didn't notice Mo Roulan's presence.

However, she felt very guilty when she saw the worry on Mo Roulan's face.

Just a few moments ago, she was assuring this girl that her brother would be completely safe with the teachers. However, what she was going to say next was just equal to biting back on her words.

"Miss Mo…actually, our staff on the trip is not able to find Mo Chen for an hour."

Mo Roulan's face went pale and she stepped back in shock.

"Mo Chen…can not be found …since an hour."

An hour … it was such a long time. Mo Roulan was only concentrating on this fact for a few moments. Her mouth suddenly felt very dry.

She could hear Teacher Dong assuring her that they will find Mo Chen. She was saying that she had already asked other teachers to call the forest officers and they will help them in finding Mo Chen.

However, Mo Roulan could not feel any comfort reaching her heart through those words.

Where was her brother?   

Did they take him away again?

So many horrible scenarios flashed in Mo Roulan's mind. 

Her heart and mind were still clouded with pure fear.

And in this fear, finally, a face flashed in her mind and she immediately ran towards the huge black car inside which Chu Feng was still sitting.

Teacher Dong looked at Mo Roulan's leaving back in confusion but she didn't have time to follow her and check where she was going. She still needed to tell everything to the principal so she went inside the school first.

On the other hand, Chu Feng was shocked when he saw Mo Roulan running towards the car in hurry. He was about to open the door and go out to ask her what happened but Mo Roulan was too fast.

She ran towards the back seat of the car and opened the door hurriedly.

"Miss Mo, is everything alright?"

Mo Roulan heard Chu Feng's question as soon as she entered the car.

However, she didn't have anything to say to him for now.

Her hands were trembling as she tried to find her phone inside the bag that she had left inside the car.

With one of her hands, she rubbed her blurry eyes.

This was not the time to cry.

Not now, Mo Roulan.

She said to herself inside her heart and sighed in relief when she finally found the phone.

Chu Feng was very baffled to see Mo Roulan's state but she was not telling him anything. He couldn't also sit idle and do nothing.

In the end, the wise assistant got out of the car and walked to the security guard to ask if he knew about something.   

While Mo Roulan was finding a number amongst her contacts with her trembling fingers.

"Found it…"

She whispered to herself in a trembling voice as she stared at the number saved under the name 'Emergency Call'.

She had done it intentionally because she wanted to make herself remember that she was to call He Jian only when she was in some very big trouble …something she couldn't handle herself.

And today she was really facing such a trouble. 

Mo Roulan dialed the number with her trembling fingers. She could hear a sound indicating that the call was still reaching the other side.

In these few moments, she suddenly remembered the time when He Jian had not responded to her call in her past life.

And Chu Feng had also said that he was busy with some big project.

Will he pick her call?

"Please He Jian…"

Mo Roulan whispered to herself as a tear slid down from her eye.

"I really need you at this moment."
