Lin Che looked at Lu Yunshi and sighed . She waved her hand gesturing for Lu Yunshi to come to her .
Lu Yunshi looked at Lin Che while sobbing . “I’m really sorry…”
Lin Che said, “Next time, remember to tell us before you go out and play, alright?”
Hearing this, Lu Yunshi nodded vigorously . She wiped her tears away and said, “It was because Father never lets me go out on my own . There are always people following me . I’ve always wanted to go out alone and play . When I saw Armie today, he called me from outside and said that he would take me to play games . I knew that he wasn’t a good kid, but I still wanted to go with him . ”
Lin Che asked in confusion, “Armie?”
Lu Yunshi nodded and said, “Armie is the name I gave him . I think that name sounds very nice . ”
Lin Che shook her head in disbelief . “Your father restricts you from going out alone because you’re too young . But if you want to go out, you can discuss it with your father, choose a safer place to go to, and keep him informed of your location at all times . I think your father would let you go out . ”
“I know… I won’t do this ever again . Baby Che, you must be in so much pain . ” She looked at Lin Che’s arm and genuinely felt terrified and upset . When she saw her jump down earlier, Lu Yunshi felt as if she was about to suffocate .
From a young age, she lived in a place akin to an ivory tower . Of course, she had never experienced anything like this .
Lin Che said, “Of course, it hurts a lot . It was really very high . It looked alright but you would definitely have gotten injured if you jumped down . Look at me . Didn’t I get hurt? So you must not do the same thing again next time, you hear me?”
Lu Yunshi immediately nodded her head vigorously .
At this, Lin Che smiled in satisfaction and said to her, “Alright . That’s fine, then . Fortunately, it only hurts a little . I don’t blame you either . I was the one who accidentally fell down anyway . ”
Just then, they heard Eric’s voice outside .
His face froze when he came in and saw the situation .
Staring at Lu Yunshi, he frowned and said, “Annie, you…”
Lu Yunshi hastily buried her head in her father’s chest . “Father, I won’t do it again . Really, I won’t . I won’t ever sneak out again . . this time, I caused Baby Che to get injured . It’s really my fault . I will definitely lock myself up when I’m home… I don’t want any allowance either… please don’t be angry, Father…”
Eric’s face gradually relaxed . He merely looked at his own daughter in frustration .
He pulled his daughter to him . Gazing at Lin Che, he suddenly bowed to her and said solemnly, “I’m sorry that Annie caused your injury . Someone has already informed me about what happened earlier . Thank you for sacrificing yourself to save Annie . Annie is insensible and does not know how to weigh the severity of things . But I know that she’s still a kind-hearted child . I hope that you can forgive her . ”
Gu Jingze explained this softly to Lin Che by her ear .
After understanding his words, Lin Che hastily said, “I understand . It’s alright . In the first place, it was also a lapse of responsibility on my part that she managed to run away . I hope that Mr . Eric won’t be angry that I didn’t inform you beforehand . I was worried that you would be furious and blame me . I was also afraid that blowing the matter up would put Yunshi in even greater danger . But we were indeed looking for her slowly . Gu Jingze was also conducting an inch-by-inch search for her . We only informed you when we were certain that we had found her . ”
Eric said, “I understand . Why would I blame you? In the first place, Annie had always clung to you . You only brought her along and let her cause trouble because you like her . She was rebellious and wanted to go out and play . It was indeed abominable of her to jump out the window and it was difficult to stop her . Besides, you’re so sincere . I can feel your sincerity . ”
Lin Che said, “I just have a suspicion that someone deliberately lured her away . Otherwise, he would not have lured her out at the precise position of the CCTV’s blind spot . Although Yunshi was being very rebellious, this incident would not have happened either if not for this person luring her out . ”
At the side, Gu Jingze said, “Yes . Mr . Eric, what came to my mind first was also that someone probably deliberately lured her out to cause a rift between me and you . I was worried that someone was trying to make things difficult, so I didn’t tell you about this earlier . It was also because you were in the Glazed Tile Palace and I couldn’t contact you, hence the delay . ”
Eric said, “If this really is the case, we must thoroughly investigate the matter . But I can feel your sincerity . Lin Che’s kindness and bravery can really set an example for Annie too . Lin Che, thank you . This incident has taught Annie a lesson . I think that she won’t be so mischievous in the future . ”
Lu Yunshi shyly shrank into her father’s embrace .
Lin Che felt very envious when she saw how he doted on her .
Yunshi was so naive only because she had truly been protected too well . She had no concerns and was very mischievous .
On the other hand, she never dared to do such things in the past, because she had never had any backing .
However, now she felt that she had become much braver, she even dared to bring her bodyguard to someone’s door to search for someone .
Because…
She looked at Gu Jingze beside her .
She thought to herself that she had subconsciously treated Gu Jingze as her backing . Whenever she looked at him, she felt very safe no matter what happened .
Therefore, Yunshi was lucky and she too was lucky .
But the person who had lured Lu Yunshi away…
Soon after, Gu Jingze brought Eric with him and pulled the boy to them .
The boy was a handsome boy with a cheery disposition . They could tell that he was quite young .
He looked at Lu Yunshi, Lin Che, and then at Eric and Gu Jingze . Thereafter, he did not dare to raise his head again .
He found it inconceivable that he would meet so many prominent figures within a day . All because he took someone’s money in exchange for luring this little girl out to play .
He said, “I really didn’t know that she was Eric’s daughter . ”
Gu Jingze replied, “Tell me who instructed you to do this . ”
He said, “I was just bored… and I thought she was very pretty, so…”
“Are you refusing to tell the truth even now?”
“I…” He looked up and shrank under Gu Jingze’s gaze .
Gu Jingze walked towards him step by step . His fierce gaze was immensely pressuring and nearly caused the boy’s resolve to crumble under the pressure .
At last, he could not bear it and said hastily, “I don’t know who it was either . Someone just told me about this matter in the game and transferred money to me . I was told to take this girl away . He told me not to hurt her . I was supposed to simply take her out to play for a few days and hide her in a more concealed place . I wasn’t supposed to get discovered…”
Gu Jingze said, “Give your details to my subordinates . As for you…”
If they knew his bank account number and his game account details, they should be able to find out something .
But how should they deal with this boy…
Just when he was about to speak, Lu Yunshi suddenly implored from behind them, “Please don’t hurt him…”
