On the other side, at Cygnus International School,
Li Xue has already rushed all the way to school. Sitting in the principal's room she was trying her best to get any hints from the things but as said earlier, there seemed to be no left traces in the school. Like the Principal has said, the person has carefully used the dead zones of the school to take away Li Wei with.
But then the question arises – Why did her girl obediently follow someone like that. Though her little one was dangerously obedient sometimes, still that obedience was limited to some persons that mainly includes her and Feng Shufen at most and also …
"Xiao Fei, did you see who took away Li Wei before?" Li Xue asked the little girl about whom WeiWei had talked earlier. She has been the last one to accompany her before she went missing.
The little girl blinked as she stared at Li Xue for some moment. "Are you really Xiao Wei's Mama? You are more beautiful than she has said. Just like some fairy princess from the sky." She said out of a sudden, blinking her eyes dreamily again and again.
If it had been some other time, Li Xue would have had fun chatting with her but right at the moment, there were many other things for her to be concerned about. So she simply nodded before asking again. "Dear, yes, I am Li Wei's mother. But we can talk about the rest at some other time. I promise I will invite you home to play with me and WeiWei next time. But for now can you please remember who was the person that took away Li Wei earlier?"
The little girl nodded. Her eyes shining at the name of invitation. "Aunty, earlier, someone came to meet Xiao Wei during our break time. I was with her and he also gave us chocolates. At first, Xiao Wei was reluctant to take the chocolate from him but then later when she showed her a video call on the phone, she smiled and happily accepted it. She even shared her chocolate with me, before accompanying that brother in his car".
Li Xue's eyes panicked as she stared at the girl with slightly knitted brows before asking again. "Brother? Did she not mention him with any name?" She was sure that her girl would never simply let just anyone get near her until she knew him, let alone talk about taking something from strangers. She has not taught her something like that.
Furthermore, after the airport incident, she has also promised to be cautious from the next time. There would be no way she could think of her breaking her words of promises for anyone. Definitely, the person would be someone she already knew from before.
The little girl thought for a while before shaking her head. "No, no, Aunty. Xiao Wei didn't know the brother who had come earlier. She was familiar with the uncle who was on the video call. She went with that brother for him."
The Principal who was standing behind interrupted. "Mrs. Feng, she is just a little girl. It would be hard to make her describe the person. Do you think there is some other way?"
Li Xue looked back over her shoulder as she nodded. "I know, Principal Ma'am, that it would be hard to ask her but at least there were some hints. Other than her, no one else knew about this, nor the CCTV footage here could be a help".
The Principal at once drooped his head. Li Xue looked back at the little girl in front of her and ċȧrėssed her hair. "Thank you Xiao Fei for telling me about this. You can go back to your class. It's already time for the final bell and I am sure your parents will be here to pick you up. Be careful on your way." She said and the girl nodded before bowing to the Principal to leave.
But before walking out of the room, she turned around to ask, "Aunty, is Xiao Wei in danger?"
Li Xue didn't know the answer to this question. But still, she shook her head. "She will be fine. Don't worry."
The little girl Xiao Fei nodded with a smile before asking another question to confirm. "Then will you really invite me to play with her? She has told me how beautiful her house is and I really want to visit her home to meet her White Ears".
Li Xue smiled before nodding. "Sure. You can come to play with her anytime. I am sure WeiWei will be happy if you come to visit her at home." She said and the girl smiled before leaving the room.
Behind, the principal apologized, "We are really sorry for leaving a loophole, Mrs. Feng. It has been a fault on our side and in no way, I could find a way to help this thing out. We should have been careful. But …"
The principal was in the middle of her words when suddenly a beep on Li Xue's phone deviated the concentration away from the conversation with the Principal. Her brows furrowed as she looked at the message that beeped. The more she read, the stiffer her expressions became.
While at the same time, a knock at the office door also interrupted as a school staff came running inside to inform in a huffing tone. "Principal Ma'am, this is bad. Our school has been surrounded by media from all sides. They are trying to barge in but the guards have held them outside."
"What? The media is here?" The Principal was taken aback but the staff firmly nodded.
"Yes, Ma'am. The media are crowding outside. They are telling that they are here for Ms. Li Xue. They have got information of her being here."
The Principal's expressions changed, becoming a lot more worried than before. Her eyes turned to look at Li Xue whose expressions were hard to read. Her fingers were clasping on the phone as her eyes were staring at the distance with her own thoughts.
