Chapter 724 - Xiaojie is Missing (2/2)
Xiaojie’s IQ was high and although he had leukemia before, he had been focusing on strengthening and training his body ever since he was healed. Now, his physical strength was slightly better than other children his age.
He had been training for two weeks in the training camp. Not only that, he was able to withstand hards.h.i.+ps and had a great performance, which was why his instructors never s.h.i.+ed away from praising him.
He had been getting along well with the other children in his dormitory.
However, there was a small episode tonight.
After Xiaojie went to take a shower, one of the grandchildren of the Royal relatives from the dormitory next door had ran over to his dormitory. He sat on Xiaojie’s bed and saw the painting Xiaojie placed under his pillow.
The painting had been painted by Xiaojie himself, with him smiling extremely happily while his Daddy and Pretty Zhizhi held his hand as they walked along the bright and sunny street.
Xiaojie did not like it when others touched his private belongings. After his shower, he immediately walked over when he saw a small boy laughing nonstop at his painting, s.n.a.t.c.hing his painting back.
Seeing Xiaojie’s scrunched up face, the boy felt that Xiaojie’s att.i.tude was not good, saying immediately, “Didn’t your Daddy divorce already? You don’t have a Mommy now, so you should only paint your Daddy and yourself.”
Xiaojie took the painting. “I have a Mommy!”
“I heard from my Daddy and Mommy that the ex-Fourth Princess Consort isn’t your biological Mommy, right?”
Xiaojie did not reply.
At this, the small boy was slightly furious. “Ye Jie, don’t think that you’re above everyone else just because your Daddy is the Crown Prince!”
Staring at the boy whose expression was slightly dark, Xiaojie pursed his lips. “My Daddy will marry by Mommy very soon.”
“Is your Mommy’s surname Nan?”
Xiaojie furrowed his eyebrows slightly, asking softly, “How do you know?”
“I heard my Daddy and Mommy mention it when I went home the last time.” As the boy spoke, he stared at Xiaojie pitifully. “You’re so pitiful.”
Xiaojie’s black eyes were wide, staring at the small boy in confusion. “Why are you saying that I’m pitiful?”
“Because your Mommy is gone! Even if your Daddy gets married in the future, he can only find a step-mother for you!”
Xiaojie blinked his eyes, unable to immediately digest what the small boy had said.
Seeing Xiaojie’s expression, the small boy suddenly remembered what his Daddy had whispered to his Mommy.
His Daddy said that the woman that the Crown Prince liked was involved in an accident. The news had not been revealed to the public yet, and that his Mommy should not tell others.
He thought that even if the news wasn’t revealed to the public, Ye Jie would still know about it.
However, Ye Jie’s current expression… did he not know yet?
The small boy caressed his head, not daring to look at Xiaojie’s current expression. “It’s almost time to sleep, I’m going back to my dormitory.”
The small boy had just arrived at the door when his arm was pulled by Xiaojie.
The small boy turned around, a little afraid when he saw Xiaojie’s red eyes. “I-I only heard it from my Daddy and Mommy. Ye Jie, don’t hit me, if not, I’ll tell the instructor…”
Xiaojie let go of the small boy’s hand, his small body suddenly bolting out of the room.
…
Mu Sihan rushed down to the training camp site.
The instructor had already looked at the CCTV. Xiaojie did not leave the training camp site, but he did not know where Xiaojie was hiding.
The campsite was huge, and with Xiaojie’s IQ, it would be hard to find him if he really wanted to hide.
The instructor said apologetically as he met Mu Sihan’s cold eyes, “The people in Xiaojie’s dormitory said that he found out about his Mommy’s death.”
Mu Sihan furrowed his eyebrows. “Bring me to the security room.”
Xiaojie was very smart, knowing the CCTV placements in the camp site very well since he had perfectly avoided all of the CCTV.
“Crown Prince, I’ll get all of the instructors to go search…”
Mu Sihan raised a hand, his expression cold and calm. “Let him have some time to calm down.”
“But, he’s still a child…”
“I’ll let you know if there’s anything else. You can go and rest!”
Staring at Mu Sihan’s tensed expression, the instructor knew that the Crown Prince was the most worried about Xiaojie going missing.
