Chapter 253: Who Locked Her Up? (3)

There were still 20 minutes before the event as the swimmers involved came forth one after another.

At the VIP viewing area, Chu Mubei looked at Lu Yanchen and squinted one of his eyes in a smirking manner. “Last night, did you do anything to Little Sister Shi Guang after heading back? She has an event to swim for today. You had better not cause her to underperform, heh…”

Lu Yanchen merely looked at him coldly without replying.

Observing the waiting area for the swimmers and the people who were streaming out, Lu Yanchen frowned slightly when he did not catch sight of the figure he was waiting for. At that moment, his phone rang out. However, Lu Yanchen’s gaze was fixated up ahead, as he seemed to have not heard it.

Chu Mubei looked at him curiously. “Your phone’s ringing. Why are you not picking it up?”

Still, Lu Yanchen seemed oblivious to the sound as his eyes darted around, seemingly searching for something. When he saw the time that was being displayed on the huge screen up above, his gaze turned even darker.

“Old Lu, your phone is ringing. Aren’t you going to pick it up?”

Lu Yanchen looked over at Chu Mubei. As though he had recalled something, he took his phone out and glanced at the screen. Seeing that it was just a good friend of his, he tossed the phone over to Chu Mubei before striding out.

“Eh, where are you going?”

His phone was still ringing. With no other choice, Chu Mubei could only pick up the call.

Lu Yanchen hastened his footsteps as he walked over to the backstage.

Even though they had already been separated for two years, he still remembered every single sentence of hers clearly. He would never forget her saying that for official competitions, she would definitely appear at the waiting area 20 minutes before the event to complete her preparations.

And for every single video of her competitions that he had watched, that was always the case.

But now, there were only 15 minutes left before the start of the event, and yet she had not appeared. It was possible that she might have been held up by something. But, Lu Yanchen could not shrug off this uneasy feeling in his heart.

And indeed, on the pathway, he caught sight of an anxious-looking Zhang Shulin. “Have you found her yet?”

There was another girl standing beside him, wearing her competitive swimsuit while being draped in a towel.

She was gripping her phone nervously and calling out, filled with an expression that was about to break out in tears. “No, I’ve tried looking everywhere but I just couldn’t find her! I don’t know where she is gone! She told me that she was going to use the washroom, but I’ve searched the washroom a couple of times now, and in the surroundings as well!”

Zhang Shulin was totally in a huff as he heaved out angrily, “Just what is she doing? Where is she at this critical moment?”

“I still can’t get through to her phone!” Xu Zixian looked at Zhang Shulin while at a loss. “Or… I can go and try looking for her again!”

“No! Hurry and go prepare yourself. The event is about to start.”

Xu Zixian hesitated for a moment and requested that Zhang Shulin definitely find Shi Guang with a flustered expression before heading over to the waiting area to make her preparations.

…

Disappeared? Couldn’t find her no matter what? Lu Yanchen felt his heart skip a beat. His first thought was of her being kidnapped.

But, that was not right either. Even if anyone wished to kidnap someone, they wouldn’t do it at a place like this that was so crowded!

His handsome face was screwed tightly, pondering calmly about where she might be.

This time around, he really did not know where she was, neither where he should even begin to search for her. Making a quick round like a headless housefly, he suddenly thought about how that girl had mentioned looking for Shi Guang in the washrooms.

But, which washroom was that?

Has she looked in the other washrooms?

In such a huge place, there shouldn’t only be one washroom, right?

Lu Yanchen spun around and bolted up to the 2nd floor with lightning speed.

It was really quiet on the 2nd floor, with hardly anyone present. With his fastest speed, he located the washroom area and indeed, he could make out someone shouting, “Someone! Anyone! Help…!”
