Chapter 1302: Chapter 1301: Searching Everywhere
Ye Qiu was driving towards a hospital when Xia Lan called to inform him that Xia Tiantian had discharged herself and disappeared.
Right now, Xia Lan was most worried that her daughter might suddenly do something rash, like jump in a river or off a building.
Ye Qiu had long known of Xia Tiantian’s temperament and didn’t expect something to happen so quickly. He said, “I’m coming over right now, don’t be worried!”
After hanging up, Ye Qiu hurriedly drove to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital entrance, Ye Qiu parked the car and rushed inside the hospital. Xia Lan had already enlisted the help of the hospital’s nurses and security, but it was futile.
With so many patients entering and exiting the hospital every moment, how could the nurses and security have time to notice a patient leaving on their own?
Seeing Ye Qiu arrive, the helpless Xia Lan immediately rushed to him for an embrace, unsure of what to do.
“Sister Xia, don’t worry, I’ll find out right away!”
Ye Qiu took Xia Lan to the hospital’s monitoring room. Through the surveillance footage, he might be able to find out how Xia Tiantian left.
After Xia Lan mentioned which room Xia Tiantian had stayed in, they went to the monitoring room to investigate the surveillance footage.
Initially, the two security guards in the monitoring room didn’t want to pay any attention to Ye Qiu. This surveillance was supposed to monitor the hospital’s activities, and they couldn’t just let Ye Qiu watch them.
“Do you want to be fired right now?”
Despite his ordinary attire, Ye Qiu spoke with such authority that he frightened the two of them.
“Check the footage for room 506 immediately.”
The two security guards then started to review the footage and indeed saw Xia Tiantian getting off the hospital bed alone, sneaking out of the room, moving down the corridor, and taking the elevator down.
“Keep checking!”
Logically, for the safety of patients and to prevent medical disputes, the hospital had surveillance cameras both inside and outside.
So, they watched as Xia Tiantian exited the elevator and left through the main entrance. After she got outside, she was no longer visible.
However, it was certain that Xia Tiantian had left.
Outside there were so many people and vehicles, it’s really uncertain where she went.
“Can you check more?”
The two security guards cautiously asked.
Ye Qiu didn’t pay attention to them further. After pulling Xia Lan outside, he said, “You should call Xia Tiantian’s class teacher and her classmates and friends to ask where Tiantian might be?”
Jinling is so big, how do we search?
The only way was through her classmates and friends to determine a rough area and then conduct a detailed search.
Of course, Xia Tiantian has a phone, but it’s unknown if there’s any phone tracking.
Ye Qiu took out his phone, dialed Xia Tiantian’s number, and found it turned off, with no clue as to where she might be.
Xia Lan quickly called Xia Tiantian’s class teacher: “Teacher Hong, Tiantian suddenly left the hospital and is missing. I’m afraid she might do something foolish. Please help contact her classmates and friends to find out where she might have gone?”
What? Xia Tiantian is missing?
Teacher Hong knew that Xia Tiantian had heard about her father’s accident, and she had left the hospital. If anything happens, it would be a big trouble.
“Mrs. Li, I’ll ask right away.”
Teacher Hong called each student one by one but no one had heard of anyone being with Xia Tiantian. Actually, some girls had just called Xia Tiantian to invite her to a birthday party, but since they planned to go to a bar, how could they tell the class teacher?
After calling all the classmates, no one claimed to have seen Xia Tiantian.
As for Xia Tiantian’s usual friends, Teacher Hong wasn’t clear about that.
“Mrs. Li, have you found Xia Tiantian? I just asked her classmates, and none of them know where Xia Tiantian went.”
Xia Lan, after listening to this, nearly collapsed. If it weren’t for Ye Qiu supporting her, Xia Lan really wouldn’t know what to do.
How could this be?
“What about Tiantian’s friends, do you know them?”
Ye Qiu asked Xia Lan.
“I don’t know.”
Xia Lan usually didn’t know her daughter’s friends, after all, Xia Tiantian seldom brought friends home to play.
Things seemed really bad now.
If Ye Qiu couldn’t narrow down the search area, it would be impossible to find out where Xia Tiantian went.
“I’ll have the police check the surveillance footage.”
There were many surveillance cameras outside the hospital entrance, but these were managed by the police, not the hospital, so they had to be checked by the police.
When Ye Qiu called Zhao Ruxue, Zhao Ruxue hadn’t seen Ye Qiu for a long time, she didn’t even know what Ye Qiu was up to.
Now seeing Ye Qiu’s call, she was surprised and asked, “Why are you calling me?”
“Something happened. Can you help me check the surveillance near the hospital for a little girl who discharged herself and disappeared?”
Ye Qiu briefly explained the situation to Zhao Ruxue, who then understood the missing girl was Li Fei’s daughter and said, “Ye Qiu, I’ll contact the police to look into it!”
After hanging up, Xia Lan was completely helpless, not knowing what to do.
Meanwhile, at Zhao Ruxue’s request, police personnel checked nearby road surveillance according to the description Ye Qiu provided of the young girl, carefully investigating.
They spent a long time but didn’t find anything, mainly because there were just too many vehicles and people near the hospital to know where Xia Tiantian went.
After almost an hour, Zhao Ruxue and the police hadn’t found anything useful.
“Ye Qiu, it’s probably untraceable; there are too many people and vehicles around there.”
“I’m heading to the City Police Bureau now.”
Ye Qiu and Xia Lan got into the car, and Ye Qiu drove towards the City Police Bureau. Before they could reach the bureau, Xia Lan’s phone rang again; it was Teacher Hong.
“Mrs. Li, I got word from a student that tonight is a male classmate’s birthday, and I’m not sure if Xia Tiantian was invited for the celebration?”
“Birthday celebration? Where is it being held?”
“I’m not sure either. Let me contact that student’s parents to ask where their son is celebrating.”
Xia Lan anxiously waited, and after several calls, Teacher Hong heard it might be celebrated at a bar.
Hearing it was at a bar, Ye Qiu felt it was very likely, knowing Xia Tiantian’s personality, she probably favored places like that.
“Teacher Hong, which bar is it at?”
“After asking, that student’s parents still didn’t say.”
After thanking Teacher Hong, Ye Qiu immediately said, “It’s very likely Xia Tiantian is at a bar.”
