Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 146 - Investigation

In the Han villa, the atmosphere was dark and gloomy as everybody gathered. From the moment Xinyi realized that Siying disappeared, her tears refused to stop. Soo Enlai did his best to calm her down, but nothing was helping it.

"Xinyi, don't worry. We are all here. Zhiyuan will find Siying in no time. He mustn't have gone that far."

Though he consoled her, he was anxious himself about Siying too. He was just a three-year-old child who knew nothing about this world.

"Dad, why did Siying leave…? H-How can he disappear like that? W-where is he now? I cannot rest until I see him again!" She sobbed hard. There was no news about Siying even after almost half a day had passed by.

Han Guang and Han Mingli snickered, standing in a corner. "This is what I wanted. Just look at how she pathetic looks. I snatched her son away from her."

Han Mingli said, "That is fine and all but don't underestimate Uncle and Zhiyuan. They will do everything in their power to find him."

She snorted. "It will be already too late. Siying is so small. By now, he would have already come under some car or some goons would have taken him away. For a child as ignorant as him, he cannot survive that long."

His gaze twinkled. "You are right. So much time has passed by now. In a big city like Beijing, it wouldn't take long for him to get completely lost. With Siying out of the picture, there will be no heir for the Han family. Zhiyuan wouldn't be able to bear the depression either which will affect the business. There would be no one to handle the company."

She sneered. "We will take advantage of that and snatch all the wealth for our son, Keung."

On Xinyi's side, Ah Cy sat beside her and hugged. "Xinyi have faith in Zhiyuan and Liang. Yunru is investigating too. Do you think they won't be able to find Siying?"

Xinyi cried. "Ah Cy what should I do? Siying...he is so small. He must be so hungry. What is he doing? The city is so big. He knows nothing about it! I-I cannot calm down!"

Zizi hesitated and placed her hand on her shoulders. "D-Don't be such a crybaby. Bro and Grandpa will do anything to bring him back, okay?"

But she couldn't stop herself from shedding tears too.

Han Huizhong, Zhiyuan, Liang and Yunru entered. Xinyi ran to Zhiyuan's side and clutched his coat. "Where is Siying!?"

She looked behind them. "I don't see him. Where is he? You found him, right?"

His heart clenched in pain to see her condition. "Xinyi. We have found some leads, but not Siying yet."

She was stunned.

He quickly held her shoulders and assured her. "Xinyi. We are close to finding him. Rest assured-"

"How can I be assured!? It's evening now! A small child is somewhere lost in this big city! How should I stay calm? He-he is so small...he doesn't know anything. It's so easy for him to get hurt…I-I…"

He pulled her in his hug. His eyes stung in tears. He was afraid for Siying just as she was. He wanted to break down too, but as his father, he had to stay strong and find his son as soon as possible.

"Xinyi, I promise to you. I won't let anything happen to him. I will find him no matter what costs me. Please trust me," his gaze was determined and unyielding.

Xinyi wailed as she hugged him. "I want Siying back, Zhiyuan. Do anything...do anything but bring him back!"

Yunru seriously said, "Sis, I have investigated and asked around, showing his photo to all the shopkeepers and passersby. Some of them said that they did see him but they weren't so sure. They didn't take a good look at his face."

Xinyi quickly asked, "T-then?"

Liang said, "The last place where people seemed to recognize Siying was near a toy shop. We investigated that shop owner too. But he doesn't know anything and he didn't see him?"

"How can he not see him!? He was just in front of his shop!" Xinyi exclaimed.

Zhiyuan cupped her face and stared at her. "Xinyi. Please calm down. I know it's difficult, but you will get sick if this went on. We won't rest until we find Siying. I promise. I will bring Siying to you before this day ends."

The tears stained her cheeks wet and she quivered. Liang signaled Ah Cy and she nodded. "Xinyi…"

Han Huizhong was silent this whole time. He refused to shed tears like Xinyi. But inwardly, he was trembling. It was faint, but his hand was shaking with which he held his stick.

He gritted his teeth. "We will find him, got it? We have already reached the toy store. It wouldn't be that far! So stop crying! Soo Enlai! Your daughter is so weak."

Soo Enlai pursed his lips and shook his head. He and Ah Cy took her away while Zizi brought some water for her. Even though Yunru was here too, she didn't spare him any glance.

Just then, Zhiyuan's phone buzzed and he quickly picked it. He coldly said, "What did you find?"

As he heard the response, he froze. "Alright. Find about them right now," his voice was icy and his eyes swirled in a threatening aura.

Yunru asked as he quickly detected the change. "What did you find?"

"Yunru. I want you to investigate two men. They were the last one seen with Siying, taking him somewhere."

He widened his eyes and so did Liang. Liang asked, "Take him somewhere that means…"

He clenched his fist. "It could be that some men guessed that he was alone and…" his jaw tightened in fury, "might have kidnapped him…"

Yunru coldly said, "I will get to it right now."

Han Huizhong angrily laughed. "Some guts they have huh? Let me get my hands on them and they will regret they were ever born into this world."

Liang said, "Should we tell this to Xinyi?"

"No! No need," Zhiyuan instantly rejected the suggestion. "You already see how her state is. We will not tell her about it. I don't want to worsen her condition. Nobody will tell Xinyi about it."
