Sweet Time Only for You: The Entanglement between Mr. Lu and Miss Song-Chapter 254: There Is Something Odd About the Case (Part 1)

But when the last rescued child walked down, there was still no sign of Song Dabai and Luolu.

Lu Jihan’s face darkened.

He looked at Officer Zhang and asked, "Officer Zhang, what’s going on? Didn’t you say there was good news? Why haven’t we seen Song Dabai and Luolu’s shadow?"

Officer Zhang’s expression was somewhat heavy.

He said lightly, "The case has other peculiarities. When we arrived, we didn’t see your son and the little girl from the orphanage."

Peculiarities?

Song Yinyin’s heart skipped a beat.

She blurted out, "Officer Zhang, what exactly went wrong? My son won’t be in trouble, will he?"

Her voice unintentionally carried a sobbing tone, urgently anxious.

Beside her, Teacher Wen was also so anxious that her eyes were red, covering her mouth and crying faintly, muttering the name ’Luolu’.

Seeing the two women so distressed, Officer Zhang said, "Mr. Lu, let’s sit in the office and talk." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Lu Jihan maintained a semblance of calm.

He nodded, turned back to gently pat Song Yinyin’s hand, and signaled her with his eyes to ’take it easy,’ then followed Officer Zhang to the office.

Inside the office, Officer Zhang wasted no words, stating directly, "Here’s the situation—"

It turned out the place the police raided was the criminals’ hideout.

Originally thinking they could catch all the criminals when they rushed in, unexpectedly, there were peculiarities; two suspects temporarily took two children and left.

When the police arrived, those two suspects and the two children were not there.

Those two suspects were the same two men in hats who took Song Dabai and Luolu.

After hearing this, Lu Jihan couldn’t calm down for a long time.

The police launched a raid on the human traffickers’ den, and although it alerted the criminals, most children were rescued, yet Dabai and Luolu...

Lu Jihan furrowed his brows, his hands at his sides unconsciously clenched tightly.

"Are there still any clues about them now?"

Officer Zhang regrettably said, "Their accomplices said they left early in the morning with the two kids and haven’t returned yet. However, those people mentioned that they have acquainted friends in Imperial City. We are trying to investigate those two people’s friends, hoping to track down where they might go."

Lu Jihan nodded, saying in a deep voice, "As soon as possible."

It seemed that the trail temporarily broke off.

Disappointment flooded over his heart instantly.

When Lu Jihan came out of the police station, his heart was clenched tight, and he couldn’t help rubbing his aching temples.

In the courtyard, Song Yinyin stood in a daze, her face terribly pale.

Seeing this, Lu Jihan quickly adjusted his state.

He walked to the car door, reached out to gently pull her into his embrace, and soothed her with as soft a voice as possible, "Don’t worry, Officer Zhang said there’s still hope."

Hearing his comfort, Song Yinyin couldn’t hold it any longer and burst into tears.

Lu Jihan didn’t stop her, letting her lean on his shoulder, crying her heart out.

Now, her entire body was tense as if about to snap; it might be good for her to cry, to vent emotions and relieve her strained nerves.

So, he stood quietly in place, gently stroking her back with his warm palms.

Again and again, soothing with a steady rhythm.

After crying for a while, Song Yinyin was somewhat exhausted, wiped her tears with her hands, and looked up at him.
