Shen Xi’s heart skipped a beat. She immediately touched Gu Chen’s forehead. Sure enough, he had a fever. Now, he even started to talk nonsense.
Shen Xi was just about to pull her hand away, but Gu Chen fell on her body, still shouting in horror.
Shen Xi was helpless. She could only pat Gu Chen’s back gently with her hand and said gently, “It’s okay. You’ll be fine when you wake up. Your leg is fine. There’s no problem at all now. No one will hit your leg…”
Gu Chen’s voice gradually weakened, perhaps because he had found a safe aura on Shen Xi’s body. He only occasionally said a word or two about “pain”.
Looking at Gu Chen like this, Shen Xi felt a little sympathetic. Was it the Guan family who broke his leg?
Shen Xi shook off the thoughts in her mind. She could not make wild guesses about such things.
Shen Xi looked around anxiously, trying to find something useful to reduce Gu Chen’s fever, but she could not find anything.
The next second, Shen Xi’s palm was pinched by Gu Chen again. The force almost crushed Shen Xi’s hand.
Shen Xi took a deep breath. After a while, she straightened Gu Chen and placed her slightly cold hand on Gu Chen’s head.
After her palm was heated up by Gu Chen’s body temperature, Shen Xi placed her hand on the wall to cool her palm before continuing to place it on Gu Chen’s forehead.
However, this was still a drop in the bucket. Shen Xi wanted to pull out her hand which was held tightly by Gu Chen. She wanted to turn Gu Chen’s head and use his forehead to press against the cold wall, but she could not pull it out.
Shen Xi could only resign herself to fate and keep cooling her hands, putting them on Gu Chen’s forehead again and again.
Gu Chen seemed to yearn for that little bit of coldness on his forehead. He fell towards Shen Xi and instinctively rubbed against Shen Xi’s small hand.
Seeing that Gu Chen was injured because of her, Shen Xi could only let Gu Chen do as he pleased.
However, in a place where Shen Xi could not see, the corners of Gu Chen’s mouth curled up slightly. It was great that Xi was awake and willing to let him lean on her.
Such satisfaction occupied Gu Chen’s entire mind. In the next second, he really fainted.
When it was ten o’clock at night, the Shen and Lu families had already realized that something was wrong. The Shen and Lu families immediately gathered their men and began to look for Shen Xi.
Guan Lei, who had just returned from the old mansion, saw so many people coming in and out of the Shen family’s house at night and immediately felt that something was wrong.
The next second, Guan Lei received a call from Meng Yu. “Guan Lei, is Xi with you?”
Guan Lei’s eyes trembled slightly. “She’s not with me. What’s wrong with Xi?”
On the other side, Nieng Yu said in a slightly heavy tone, “Zheng Huai called me just now to ask if Xi was with me. He said that Xi was missing, so I called to ask you.”
After all, Shen Xi had snuck to Guan Lei’s house that day to hide from her family.
When Guan Lei heard that Shen Xi had disappeared, he immediately rushed to the villa opposite and anxiously searched for Shen Xi in the living room.
At this moment, the people in the living room also saw Guan Lei, but they were not in the mood to deal with him.
Shen Qian cried until her eyes were swollen like walnuts. “Xi said that Shen Luan was near the mall, so I left. I didn’t expect that Shen Luan wasn’t there at all. Xi just disappeared like that.”
“What mall?” Guan Lei asked loudly.
Shen Qian was shocked by Guan Lei’s loud voice and blurted out, “Jingsong.”
Guan Lei received a clue about Shen Qian and immediately informed Guan Ba to bring people to Jingsong Mall. At this time, Lu Shan and Shen Yan were already searching Jingsong Mall with their people.
“Uncle, Auntie, have you checked the surveillance cameras?” Guan Lei asked.”
Lu Shan nodded with slightly red eyes and said, “I’ve already checked. I saw Xi chasing after a thief, and then afterwards there were blind spots in the surveillance cameras.’
Guan Lei’s heart sank slightly. He took the surveillance video from the manager of the mall and watched all the videos before and after Shen Xi disappeared. Then, he frowned and asked the manager, “This video is incomplete. Did you tamper with it?”
The manager of the mall was instantly frightened. He quickly said with a bitter face, “We didn’t tamper with the video. It’s like this originally.”
Guan Lei did not care about the manager’s desperate explanation. He found a place with fewer people, turned on his watch, and hacked into every surveillance record in the mall..
