Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Chapter 837 - Going to Shufen will only cost time.

It took a fraction of seconds for Li Xue to contemplate the whole meaning of the Principal's words. And when realized, her expressions almost went pale. "What do you mean? The driver must not have yet reached the school, how can she not be there?" She asked in an almost horrified voice.

The Principal on the other side was no less scared. Given to her panicked state, it could be said that in her career this was her first time encountering any such situation. Having the school's rules and regulations all strict and serious, she has never seen this coming until now. Furthermore, there was another reason that has kept her nerves on the edge.

Knowing the little girl's identity as the daughter of Feng Shufen, she could already visualize how complicated the situation could get. "Ma'am, we have checked every detail through the CCTV footage in our school, but there are no traces. We doubt that somebody has ki-kidnapped her".

Kidnapped her?

Who could that be?

Li Xue could not guess but the situation did seem suspicious to her. "How could there not be any traces in the CCTV footage? Aren't the schools all equipped with those?" She asked, her voice rising a little along with her anxiousness. Though at the moment, she knew that it was important for her to keep calm, still she wasn't able to hold herself in. Furthermore, the emotional imbalance from before wasn't doing any help.

"Mrs. Feng, I know it's a mistake from our side but some corners of the school area don't come in our surveillance zone. That has helped the abductors in achieving their target. In this case, we would have called the police in the first case but given the special case of Li Wei, we thought it would be preferable if we inform President Feng first. But seeing his number coming unreachable, we could only inform you". The Principal explained, knowing well that none of her explanations would be able to lessen her guilt.

Li Xue looked around as her fingers disconnected the call leaving the person on the other side all helpless. Her thoughts went completely blank for a moment.

Her daughter was abducted and she had no idea of this. Her heart felt clogged up which she tried to ease by taking some breathes but nothing simply seemed to come in her aid. Her body trembled as she almost felt her knees getting weak to hold her up.

At that moment, she felt a pat coming over her shoulders. Turning around, she looked only to find Feng Yi Lan standing behind her, looking all worried for her. Her eyes staring at her, trying its best to guess what has gone wrong to bring her in such defeated look.

"Li Xue, what happened?" Feng Yi Lan asked, looking concernedly at her friend. Earlier when she had talked over the phone, she had already set out to catch her halfway. And when she reached here, she only saw her standing at the entrance, all devastated like she had lost something precious.

"Why are you looking like this, standing here? Did someone bully you inside?" She asked again, her eyes at once going to glare inside the mall, in search of someone responsible. But not finding anyone particular, reverting back to look at Li Xue.

Li Xue stared at Feng Yi Lan. Her eyes went all strict from the sudden lack of emotions. Like suddenly it has gone dead. "WeiWei is not in the school."

Feng Yi Lan's brows twisted. "What do you mean she is not there?". Her senses became all alert.

Li Xue shrugged her shoulders and repeated, "Her Principal called to inform that she is not there?"

"Do you mean kidnapped?" Yi Lan's expression changed as her fingers were all ready to dial the number of Qi Shuai.

Li Xue again shook her head. "I don't know but her friend has told that she has left willingly with the person. And WeiWei will never go with a stranger unless and until she knows him or her". She said, her feet suddenly accelerating to rush somewhere, making Feng Yi Lan as well follow her pace.

"Where are you going? I think we should go to my brother first. Kidnapping or not, he will be able to find it soon" Feng Yi Lan said but even after hearing her, Li Xue had no time to wait.

"I can't use my time to do that at the moment, Yi Lan. I need to find out on my own. The Principal has already tried to reach his number but it's unreachable. At the moment, going to him will only cost us time. And the more we delay, the more I will fear for my baby. So let me go my way first, while if you have time, you can either reach Shufen or Director Qi."

"But where are you going now?" Feng Yi Lan asked, suddenly stopping halfway to look at Li Xue already hailing the cab from a distance. At the same time, her fingers dialing the number of Qi Shuai and Feng Shufen alternately, but both numbers coming to be out of reach.

Li Xe turned to look at her friend as well. "To the school first. There is still an hour before everyone leaves. I need to talk to WeiWei's friend to know exactly who has gone to take my girl there" She said before opening the door of the cab to get inside at once to leave.

Behind, Feng Yi Lan nodded. "Fine, you go that way while I will try to get to reach my brother in the company. I am sure he must be there." She said, readying herself in rewinding her steps. Li Xue agreed to her with a nod before turning to the driver to request.

"Drive to Cygnus International School".

The driver looked through the mirror for a moment, getting all stuck at Li Xue's face before nodding and driving away in rush. "Yes, Ma'am!"
