After Getting Abandoned, I Choose to Become the General's Wife

Chapter 89: Strange Old Lady

Wang Xu walked to Fang Ya’s side and looked at Li Yu, whose face was full of tears. “Did you get separated from Kang Qi at the Ferris Wheel?”

“Do you remember anything else?” Wang Xu asked seriously.

She had read a lot of detective novels. Although she did not know if she could help, she hoped to learn something from Li Yu.

Li Yu sniffled and recounted the situation she had told Fang Ya and the others.

She did not know if her answer now had any meaning, but no matter what the situation was, she had to give it a try.

“We came down from the Ferris wheel. Kang Qi said she wanted to eat ice cream,” Li Yu said with a sobbing tone.

“I didn’t want her to eat it, so she started crying.” Li Yu continued, “An old woman came over and gave me a lollipop, saying that she wanted to coax the child.

“She said that the amusement park is the paradise of children. Don’t let the child be sad here,” Li Yu said and could not help but sob.

“Old woman? What kind of old woman?” Wang Xu asked curiously.

Although some older people tended to coo over little kids, it was odd for any of them to use terms like child’s paradise.

Li Yu thought about it. “A heavyset, older woman. She looked very kind.”

“Then was she here with her family?” Wang Xu continued to ask.

Li Yu thought about it carefully. “I don’t think I’ve seen her family.”

“They could have been close by,” Li Yu speculated.

When Fang Ya heard this, she could not help but be surprised.

She and He Feng had only paid attention to the words, nothing more.

They had assumed that it was a given for the old woman to be here with family.

However, based on Wang Xu’s current train of thought, this had suddenly turned suspicious.

Fang Ya held Li Yu’s hand and asked, “Could you recall her face, any details?”

“Or try to recall, where did that old lady go after that?” Fang Ya patiently guided Li Yu.

Wang Xu also helped. “Think about what she did after she said that.”

Li Yu’s mind was still in a mess as the two of them threw questions at her.

She held her head and tried hard to think, but she could not think of any details.

He Feng walked forward and held Fang Ya’s hand. “Don’t be too anxious. Let her think slowly.”

He Feng took them out of the warehouse and sat her down on a bench not far away.

Fang Ya sat beside Li Yu and looked at the Ferris wheel in the distance. “Don’t be anxious. Think slowly. Think carefully.”

Li Yu followed Fang Ya’s gaze and looked at the Ferris wheel.

Her gaze paused. “Kang Qi said she wanted to eat ice cream, but I didn’t let her eat it. She started crying.

“I originally wanted to wait for her to cry enough before bringing her away,” Li Yu continued.

“That old lady came over and gave Kang Qi a lollipop to appease her,” Li Yu continued.

“Later, Kang Qi stopped crying, so I took her to the other side of the merry-go-round,” Li Yu said as the scene from that time surfaced in her mind.

“There were many people around the merry-go-round. I was anxious and wanted to see what was going on ahead,” Li Yu said as she choked up.

“It was at that time that I let go of Kang Qi’s hand…” Li Yu’s face was once again filled with tears.

“When I came back to my senses and looked back at Kang Qi, she was already gone!” Li Yu said, crying bitterly.

He Feng’s brows were tightly knitted together. “Did the child get lost on the way from the Ferris wheel to the merry-go-round?”

“Yes!” Li Yu nodded. “On the road, there are many people.”

“On the road, it’s impossible for the child to be snatched away. Kang Qi must have followed that person willingly.” He Feng continued to make deductions.

“Willingly followed?” Wang Xu was a little puzzled. “Who is so charming?”

“It’s either someone she knows, or someone coaxing her to leave with something she likes.” He Feng gave two possibilities.

“Do you know who else would want to take Kang Qi away?” He Feng asked.

Li Yu shook her head. “Just like I said, her father is no longer around. Over at my in-laws’ place…”

Suddenly, Li Yu’s expression changed slightly. “I seem to have seen that old woman from somewhere before!”

Fang Ya was also shocked. “Think about it, where is she?”

Li Yu furrowed her brows and thought for a moment. “She looks like someone from my in-law’s side of the family!”

Fang Ya and He Feng looked at each other.

“Then we’ll go to your in-law’s house to look for her now!” Wang Xu immediately grabbed Li Yu and was about to leave.
