Chapter 204 - 204: Running Away From Home

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Father Xue returned home exhausted after not receiving any news from the police station.

His teenage child had suddenly disappeared. He could not drink or eat, so he could only sit in the living room.

However, before he could sit down for half an hour, the police called.

He picked up the phone with hope, only to hear that the police wanted to visit Xue Meng’s room to determine if he had the possibility of running away from home.

“How could he have run away from home?! “Father Xue slammed the coffee table angrily.” The surveillance footage clearly showed that someone knocked him out and took him away! You guys…”

Father Xue was about to scold the police for being useless, but he suddenly remembered that Xue Meng liked to pester him and ask him some strange questions.

For example, how did his mother pass away back then? Was he an only child? Do you have any siblings? Why was he named Xue Meng? According to traditional culture, Meng was used to describe the eldest son. Then, should he have had younger brothers and sisters?

Xue Meng was very smart and considerate of his family. He had stopped asking questions about his family background when he was in primary school and had accepted the fact that he was a single-parent family very mature.

At that time, Father Xue was busy. Although he answered his questions one by one, he did not notice that it was unusual for Xue Meng to suddenly bring up the past.

Now that Xue Meng had suddenly disappeared, Father Xue recalled that the police’s words might not be unreasonable… Would Xue Meng run away from home with a kidnapping drama? Was it because of his mother?

Father Xue found it hard to believe that Xue Meng would do such a thing, but there were indeed many doubts that made it difficult for Father Xue to let go.

Xue Meng’s mother’s family did not accept Father Xue from the very beginning.

After Xue Meng’s mother passed away, they cut off all contact with him. If Xue Meng was holding a grudge against his mother…

“If you want to come, come. I’m at home.”Father Xue changed his tone and sighed heavily, blaming himself for not noticing Xue Meng’s abnormality earlier.

It didn’t take long for the police to arrive as promised. However, this time, it wasn’t the police officer who had received Father Xue at the police station. Instead, it was two unfamiliar faces. The younger one was called Li Duo, and the steadier one was called Zhang Li.

“Thank you for your hard work. We understand your pain. This time, we also hope to broaden our investigation and find new clues.”Zhang Li said politely.

Lee Duo nodded seriously, but a trace of absurdity flashed across his heart.

The father in front of them was as panicked and sorrowful as every father of a lost child. As police officers, not only did they not follow the surveillance cameras to find clues, but they also embarked on a path of no return.

If it wasn’t for the approval of the higher-ups, Lee Duo would have thought that he was hallucinating. He actually had to listen to the strange Taoist priests and demons to investigate the missing person.

“Come here, his room is here.”Father Xue didn’t want to say anything more and led the two of them inside.

Xue Meng’s room was simple and clean. There were white walls on three sides and a window on one side. On the left side of the window was a bookshelf. In the corner was a table. Other than that, there was a bed and a wardrobe. There was nothing else.

Everything in the room was neatly arranged. Only a few half-read books and confiscated exercises were placed on the desk, which looked a little messy.

“Does Little Meng have the habit of writing in her diary?”Zhang Li asked. As he walked into the room, he carefully observed his surroundings.

Reading other people’s diary was a very immoral act. Zhang Li could only apologize to Xue Meng secretly. Now was a critical time, so he could only use extreme measures.

“No, I haven’t.” Father Xue shook his head and pointed to a few notebooks on the middle shelf.” He doesn’t write in a diary. He only likes to read books and wrote some reflections.’

Lee Duo’s sharp gaze landed on the book on the lower level of the notebook.””He’s still so young, but he’s read a lot. Humanities, geography…You even dabble in metaphysics?”

“Metaphysical? I’ve never bought these before.” Father Xue was stunned and followed Lee Duo’s gaze. Xue Meng’s bookshelf had several books on Taoist spells, and the books had many reading labels like the other books.

Zhang Li calmly took out the book and flipped through the pages where he had taken notes..
