CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

When Lin Qianru got the news of Mo Chen's disappearance, two hours had already passed since the whole fiasco.

The worried mother went running to the school.

Inside the principal office, she argued with the principal as to how they could be so irresponsible to lose her son during a school trip.

"I will file a complaint against the school."

A tear fell down from Lin Qianru's eyes and she wiped it with one of her hands and continued

"This is such an irresponsible act from your side, Principal Song. Who would dare to send their children on any school trip after this incident? Who would dare to trust this school with the student's safety?"   

Principal Song gulped when he heard Lin Qianru's words. He could not afford any police complaint against the school.

It would completely damage the school's reputation so he tried to comfort Lin Qianru.

"Miss Lin, please calm down. I have already called the forest department. The search team is searching for Mo Chen. He will be found very soon."

Lin Qianru just shook her head and turned around to leave the principal office.

With a heavy sigh, she looked at her phone. There has not been a single call from Mo Roulan's side. Neither she called her nor is she picking her call.

It made Lin Qianru's heart sink deeper.

Did Mo Roulan even know that Mo Chen was missing?

She didn't know where her son was as well as her daughter was at this moment.

And she couldn't do anything. 

A thought suddenly came to her mind as she walked towards the school's entrance. 

She immediately scrolled through her contact list and finally found He Jian's number. This number was given to her by He Jian and he had told her that she could call him anytime on this number.

Lin Qianru didn't feel right asking He Jian's help, however, she didn't have any other way.

"Brother, is there any bus stop here?"

As she dialed He Jian's number, she asked the security guard.

The security guard pointed towards the bus stop that was just a few steps away from the school entrance.

Lin Qinaru sighed in relief when the call went through.

At the same time, her eyebrow gathered together to form a frown. She would not have hesitated to hire a taxi to reach the forest as soon as possible. However, she couldn't see any taxis around.

"Hello Auntie"

It was He Jian who spoke on the other side of the phone and Lin Qianru immediately thanked God for that.

"Jian…Jian sorry for calling you. I might be interrupting your work but it was very important."

Lin Qianru said first.

She was very afraid that He Jian would feel bothered by her sudden call so she hurriedly said everything. Even if he only helped her in talking to the higher-up officers, she would be very grateful to him for that.

"Actually Mo Chen had gone on a school trip today but he…

"I know."

Just two words came from the other side and Lin Qianru was shocked.

Hearing the silence from the other side, He Jian continued 

"Lanlan called me more than an hour ago and told me everything."

Lin Qianru sighed in relief. It means that Mo Roulan knew that Mo Chen was missing.

"Where is she? Can you let me talk to her?"     

  The silence on the other side of the phone made Lin Qianru's heart fill with panic.

"Jian…Roulan is with you, right?"

"No."

One word from the other side and Lin Qianru heart sank while He Jian continued

"Lanlan ran away from the school before I could get her."

Inside the large room that was filled with many screens, He Jian was standing with his phone attached to his ear.

His blue eyes while staring at one of the screens. On that screen, Mo Roulan could be seen very clearly going inside the forest sneakily.

The officers who were sitting on the chairs and looking at the screen shook their heads. 

He Jian's eyes were narrowed as he looked at the figure of the running girl on the screen. No one could guess what he was thinking.

"Lanlan is inside the forest."

"What?"

He could hear the shock inside Lin Qianru's voice.

'Did you think what will happen to your mother before going inside?'

He Jian's eyes flickered as he thought while staring at the paused figure on the screen.

If not about him, she could have at least thought about her mother.

On the other side, Lin Qianru had now sat on the roadside and she was crying with her mouth covered.

"It is my fault. If only I have not signed that note…" 

"Auntie, please go back home. I am going to enter the forest in a few minutes with a big team. I promise you that I will find Lanlan and Mo Chen very soon."

Hearing the sniffs from the other side, He Jian said as gently as he could to Lin Qianru.

The officers who were sitting on the chairs heard He Jian and turned to look at him with parted mouths. When did they decide this? 

However, Lin Qianru immediately shook her head and said

"I can't…I can't go home like this. My children are not at home. How can I go there with a peaceful heart?"

"Jian…I am coming there? I will also go inside the forest with you."

He Jian frowned. He had never liked to repeat his words. However, Lin Qianru was Lanlan's mother so he didn't want to be rude to her.

Only now he perhaps understood why Mo Roulan hid so many things from her mother.

'My Mother can't take the stress. It is not good for her health.' He Jian remembered that Mo Roulan had told him once.   

But he only thought that she was very protective towards her family.

So he used the same tacit Mo Roulan used on her mother.

"Auntie, I am sending a car for you. Wait there."

"Okay, I will wait here only. Thanks, Jian."

"No problem Auntie."

He Jian said softly and then cut the call. He had never been so patient with anyone in his whole life. However, he doesn't want to create any problems for now.

He surely couldn't take Lin Qianru inside with him. So he would actually send a car for Lin Qianru but he will enter the forest before she reaches there.

He couldn't wait that long.

He just wanted to find Mo Roulan as soon as possible.
