Chapter 1594: Missing
Ning Shu turned around and walked away. Shi Sinan looked stunned and her face was filled with disbelief. Her mom just walked away so casually and left her.
How could her mother be so indifferent when she was in so much pain?
Shi Sinan was now in an incomparably complicated mood.
Ning Shu didn’t care how Shi Sinan felt, though. No matter how much pain she was in, Ning Shu would not feel sympathetic.
Ning Shu had just left the villa when she received a call from the hospital maid. Her tone was anxious and filled with fear as she said, “Master is missing. I just went to get dinner. When I came back, Master was gone.”
Ning Shu’s expression turned overcast. “Dad’s missing?”
“I just went to get a meal…”
“When did he go missing?” asked Ning Shu.
“Just a bit earlier, like ten minutes ago. I returned after getting the meal, and Master was gone,” said the maid with great trepidation.
Ning Shu frowned and hurriedly drove to the police station. She used her fastest speed to call the police.
Upon hearing this news, Ning Shu’s first thought was that it was definitely done by Xi Mucheng.
She had sealed off all news about the old man’s situation, and his name wasn’t even in the hospital’s system.
So, how could Xi Mucheng still find the old man?
After Ning Shu thought about it, she felt that she had messed up on the video call. The old man was wearing a hospital gown with the hospital’s logo. Back then, the video call was less than two minutes long, so she didn’t pay much attention.
Ning Shu slapped her forehead. After doing thousands of calculations, she never thought she would neglect such a minor detail. She should have transferred the old man to another hospital immediately.
Ning Shu shook her head. She was still lacking in strategy and schemes.
If she didn’t have a few tricks up her sleeves, trying to beat others with her brain only was genuinely challenging.
At that time, Xi Mucheng must have deliberately spread rumors of the old man’s death in the company. If he hadn’t died, at the time of the video chat, Xi Mucheng could find out the old man’s location based on the ward.
Anyway, when the old man appeared in the video, he was covered in clues. It allowed Xi Mucheng to find the hospital.
Ning Shu went to the police station and said that her father had been kidnapped from the hospital.
But the old man had disappeared too suddenly. Ning Shu had no clues. Even if she spoke to the police, the kidnappers hadn’t called yet. Therefore, the police had no way to take action.
If Xi Mucheng really kidnapped the old man, she was afraid it was not just for the money. He might also take the old man’s life.
After all, Xi Mucheng hated the Shi family to the bones!
When Ning Shu returned to the hospital, the maid was sitting on the sofa with a frightened look. As soon as she saw Ning Shu, she quickly apologized, “Miss, I really just went to get dinner. When I returned, Master had disappeared.”
Ning Shu frowned. “Doesn’t the nurse send the meal over?”
“Master said he was tired of always eating those tasteless dishes. He asked me to see if there was any other food,” replied the maid.
Ning Shu glanced at the maid before turning to look at the bed. The bedsheet was a bit messy, indicating that the old man had struggled before he was taken away.
Ning Shu hurriedly pulled up the hospital’s surveillance video.
The screen showed the maid taking the lunch box out of the ward. Not long after, a man in a nurse’s uniform walked towards the room. He wore a mask, his hair was a little long, and it almost covered his eyes fully. It was impossible to see the man’s face.
This person was of medium build. Even in a nurse’s clothing, Ning Shu believed he was a man.
In any case, there was an indescribable awkwardness.
However, this probably wasn’t Xi Mucheng since his body was tall and robust. Even the largest size of the nurse uniform couldn’t fit him.
