Chapter 11 Missing (1/2)

Kang Jun had spent the last hour searching for Mingyu and he was beginning to get very worried but also slightly annoyed.

”This way, President Kang.” The general manager said as he led Kang Jun to the security room.

Anyone watching him would believe that he was calm and in complete control but Mr. Long, who followed close behind him, shivered. He hated when his boss became like this. The killing intent emanating from Kang Jun's back chilled him to the core.

Once they entered the security room, the general manager presented them the security footage from both within the building and outside. Kang Jun loomed above the man on the computer who began to slightly tremble due to Kang Jun's crushing aura.

It was much worse than usual due to his horrid mood.

Mingyu's disappearing act was a habit. Everyone in the Kang family's main house knew this for a fact, but he had disappeared twice in one day, which was something he seldom ever did.

The boy had a fever at that…

Inexplicable anger boiled like a volcano within Kang Jun.

At the hospital, Kang Jun had tried to convince Qiao Lan to leave Mingyu to him or, at least, to Mr. Long but she had other plans.

Today, there was a meeting of sorts for socialites.

Events like these were Qiao Lan's favorite.

Kang Jun understood her love for the events, not because he himself found them fun in any way, but he understood that after marrying into the Kang family young, Qiao Lan had been forced to sacrifice her freedom for the family's prosperity, so he, and everyone else in the family, allowed her to do as she pleased, but this proved to be a mistake…

Qiao Lan was like a hyperactive child in the body of an exceptional lady. She went to any and all events that there were despite being tasked to raise two children on her own.

Actually, there were some events that she attended solely because of the children.

At a young age, Qiao Lan had been given two kids within the span of two years. Mei Xue, who was now seven, and Mingyu, who was now six, and she was proud to show them off to the world.

Although there was one small problem…

And that was Mingyu.

Mingyu was not like Qiao Lan or Mei Xue, from a young age, he had been frail and so he had never been able to attend the grand majority of those events.

He had only attended an event once and it had ended disastrously. Because of this, he had grown to not like events in general.

After that incident, The Kang Family's secret little young master had become like a legend in the socialite circles.

This made Qiao Lan want to bring him even more…

And what better opportunity than the first gathering of the summer season! Every single year the event was bigger and bigger and Qiao Lan was sure that this year it would be the biggest of them all.

At the hospital, Kang Jun had warned Qiao Lan that bringing Mingyu to an event of that size would only cause a negative reaction but she couldn't care less.

”Mei Xue has been coming to these events with me since she was four years old. Mingyu is six and he's a boy, he must be stronger.” She had retorted as she pulled Mingyu away from him.

Kang Jun pinched the space between his eyebrows. He couldn't really say anything to her because he knew that she would have a retort for every argument he presented, but the main reason lied with Elder Kang.

With him at Qiao Lan's side, she could do as she wished without fear.

And, out of respect for the Elder, Kang Jun seldom said a word or tried to interfere unless he believed it to be necessary.

Although, today, Kang Jun was worried. He would have pushed harder to stop Qiao Lan but, he had business to attend to in the hotel so, if anything happened he would be just a few steps away.

In the middle of his business meeting with an investor, Kang Jun had stepped out to meet Qiao Lan. He warned her once more not to bring Mingyu in, but all she did was frown and then said,

”You were a great help with raising them, really, you were, but you're not their father so you don't have a say in how I raise my kids.”

It took all the willpower Kang Jun had to not say, 'Don't be so high and mighty, You're not their mother either.'

Instead, Kang Jun sighed and said, ”Just be responsible.”

”I will.” After saying that, Qiao Lan gave him a smile.

Kang Jun left, without looking back and Qiao Lan did the same.

Who would have imagined that once Qiao Lan entered the gathering hall that she would lose sight of Mingyu almost instantaneously?!
