Chapter 60: Little Jiu Is Missing (2)

The streets were extremely crowded. Sheng Tianchi searched the vicinity but still could not find Su Jiu. Anxiety overwhelmed him, and a panicked expression crossed his usually indifferent face.

Oh no, I lost the little girl!

Su Shengjing will definitely kill me when he comes back later!

Despite this thought, Sheng Tianci was not worried about what Su Shengjing would do to him. He was more concerned about Su Jiu’s safety. Such a small and cute child like her will definitely attract attention to herself. If the human traffickers target her, the consequences would be unimaginable!

At this moment, Su Shengjing returned from buying the children’s set meal and coincidentally encountered Sheng Tianci. When he did not see Su Jiu beside him, he quickly walked over. “Where’s Little Jiu?”

Sheng Tianci’s face was pale. He said with a look of despair, “I… I think I lost her…”

“What did you say?!” The meal in Su Shengjing’s hand fell to the ground. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he grabbed Sheng Tianci’s collar. “You lost her? You’re not joking, right? Didn’t you say you would look after her?”

“I just took a call, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye!”

“Bastard!” Su Shengjing’s anger surged as he aimed a forceful punch on Sheng Tianci’s face.

However, he was not in the mood to blame anyone. His worry for Su Jiu surpassed everything else. He immediately sprinted around the area and squeezed through the crowd to look for Su Jiu.

Sheng Tianci almost toppled onto the ground due to the punch. He felt that he had deserved it. After all, he was the one who had lost the child.

He also dashed out with Su Shengjing to look for Su Jiu. Whenever Su Shengjing saw someone, he would ask them if they had seen a four-year-old girl in a pink dress, and every time he heard someone say no, his despair deepened.

An unprecedented sense of panic and fear overwhelmed him. His forehead and back became covered in a cold sweat.

Even when he had been sabotaged, mired in countless scandals, and forced to leave the entertainment industry, he never felt this way.

Su Shengjing could barely imagine what would happen if a three or four-year-old girl lost her way on the streets. What if she meets a bad person…

He did not dare to think further. As his eyes turned redder, he started to shout at the top of his voice while searching, Little Jiu, where are you? Come out quickly. Don’t scare Daddy!”

Many people glanced at him as he staggered about. However, as he was wearing a mask, no one recognized him. Still, many people whipped out their phones to film him.

Fifteen minutes later, Su Shengjing and Sheng Tianci returned to the supermarket. Neither of them found any traces of Su Jiu.

Blaming himself, Sheng Tianchi slapped himself hard. “It’s my fault! it’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have taken that call!”

Su Shengjing ignored him. His eyes were still bloodshot. He took out his phone and was about to call the police when a thought suddenly came to his mind. He rushed to the cashier and asked, “Do you have any surveillance cameras here?”

“Yes—”

Before she could finish her sentence, Su Shengjing bellowed, “My daughter is missing. Check the surveillance cameras for me. Immediately, now!”

Su Shengjing’s desperate and fierce appearance shocked the cashier. She had no choice but to extract the surveillance footage and call over Sheng Tianci and Su Shengjing. They watched the footage together, starting from when they had first entered the supermarket.

Su Shengjing intently stared at the computer screen. He saw that when Sheng Tianci reached the small supermarket, he placed Su Jiu on the floor to answer a call. Su Jiu then walked in alone and grabbed two bars of chocolate from the shelf.

However, at that moment, a man dressed in a black coat, hat, and mask appeared. The mask concealed his face. This man snuck toward Su Jiu.
