I Am Born With A Sliver Spoon

Chapter 77

Chen Hao was alarmed by the screams.

He dashed there without any delay.

The area around the city moat was bleak and desolate. There were no park or recreational facilities.

That woman’s face was covered in tears and her clothes were drenched.

As soon as she saw Chen Hao, she almost kneeled down. “Quick, please rescue my daughter!”

She was fine-looking. Judging from the jewelry she wore, it seemed like she was someone reputable.

She pointed at the river frantically. Chen Hao saw a little girl flailing in the water.

It was clear that this woman rushed to rescue her daughter when her daughter fell into the water. However, this woman could not swim, causing her to scream for help gracelessly.

Chen Hao noticed that the struggles of the little girl had faltered and she was sinking under the water.

He knew that the little girl didn’t have much time.

Without hesitation, he ran forward and jumped into the river.

Chen Hao lived in a small village at the outskirts of town when he was young. There was a river in the village where Chen Hao learned to swim.

Fortunately, this area of the city moat was not deep.

On top of that, the little girl might have learned some basic swimming skills previously, so Chen Hao managed to rescue the little girl.

When the little girl was dragged out of the water, she coughed out some water. Her face was red due to the suffocation.

Her mother was worried to death. She patted on the little girl’s back while thanking Chen Hao repeatedly.

“We should call 120!”

“Absolutely, the girl is too young. Geez, how could you let your child go near the water without your supervision?”

Several residents came after they heard the noises.

Some of them were busy calling for aid while a few women reproached the young mother.

“Please don’t blame my mother. Uncles and aunties, it’s not my mother’s fault, it was me who insisted on putting the wishing boat into the river. My mother did not do anything wrong!” The little girl, named Tian, defended her mother when she heard that her mother was being criticized.

“What an obedient child!”

“Indeed, such a sweetie. Madam, you should keep an eye on your child. If it wasn’t for this young man, the consequences might have been disastrous!”

“Young man, you’re a hero!”

The residents looked at the bedraggled Chen Hao with laud.

The mother held the hand of the frail little girl and brought her to Chen Hao.

“Young man, thank you so much. What is your name and where do you live?” She asked for Chen Hao’s address so that she could reward him.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Chen Hao understood, but he refused to accept any reward. Chen Hao believed that most of the people would do the same if they were in his place. Thus, he waved his hands and rejected.

“No worries, it’s better if you send your daughter to the hospital as soon as possible!”

Chen Hao gradually walked out of the crowd while he was speaking.

“Big brother, can we meet again?” Tian suddenly spoke feebly. She felt like she was at the brim of death just moments ago. She was petrified but Chen Hao had jumped to her rescue regardless of his own safety and it brought a light of hope to her. Hence, she asked him softly.

“We will!” Chen Hao did not want to let the little girl down. He smiled and left, ignoring the calls of the young mother.

This incident was just a short interlude.

Chen Hao ran back to the roadside.

It had been 20 minutes since Su Tongxin went to buy milk tea.

Su Tongxin must have completed her purchase now.

However, there was no sight of Su Tongxin at the roadside.

Huh?

Why did she take so long to buy a drink?

He took out his phone. It was all wet. He realized it had switched off due to the water.

Perhaps Su Tongxin went back to the car dealer shop alone after she failed to reach me.

He went to search for her in the milk tea cafe but she was not there.

Chen Hao could only return to the car dealer shop to try his luck.

At this moment, Wang Qiang called him.

He called to inform Chen Hao that the car repair had been completed.

40 minutes was sufficient for a few professional technicians to replace the damaged parts of the car.

“Manager Wang, did the girl who came with me go back to this shop?”

“Huh? She’s not here! After she left with you, she did not come back! What happened, Young Master Chen? Is there any trouble? I’ll be at your service!”

“Thanks, Manager Wang. It’s nothing!”

Chen Hao hung up the phone. He was perplexed. That’s strange, where would Su Tongxin have gone?

It was not possible that she had gone back. She would not leave without him.

She was not here, and she was not at the car dealer shop either.

Where else could she go?

Chen Hao searched for her nearby, but she was nowhere to be found.

After an hour of searching, Chen Hao started to panic.

Su Tongxin went out with him, could it be that she had met with trouble? He hadn’t thought that it was possible because he was just nearby all this while.

But his effort was fruitless.

The more Chen Hao thought, the more cold sweat seeped out.

Chen Hao had no choice but to return to the car dealer shop. He wanted to see if he could turn on his phone.

After a few attempts, the phone was turned on.

The notifications showed that Su Tongxin had called him several times and even messaged him.

Unfortunately, his phone was turned off.

Chen Hao quickly returned her calls. To his dismay, Su Tongxin was unreachable.

What happened?

Chen Hao could no longer remain calm.

He called Su Tongxin’s house but was told that she had not returned home!

Something was wrong!

Chen Hao raised his head abruptly.

Everything was out of control!

“Manager Wang, do you know the manager of the milk tea cafe? I need to check on the surveillance camera! Quick!” Chen Hao stood up immediately.

Wang Qiang stayed beside Chen Hao ever since Chen Hao came back to the shop.

When he heard that Young Master Chen’s girlfriend might be in trouble, he did not delay in reacting.

He nodded hastily and said that he knew the manager. He then led Chen Hao to the milk tea cafe.

After inspecting the surveillance camera’s playback, Chen Hao was clear of the entire incident.

It happened two hours ago.

After Su Tongxin bought the milk tea, she realized that Chen Hao was not there.

She quickly called Chen Hao, but his phone was not in service.

Su Tongxin was anxious.

She squatted at the side and waited for 10 minutes, but Chen Hao did not appear.

At this moment, a black Passat stopped beside Su Tongxin.

A young man with a cap got out of the car.

“Are you Su Tongxin?” the man asked smilingly.

Su Tongxin nodded. “And you are?”

“Hi, I am an Uber driver. Young Master Chen had something important to attend to so he left earlier. He informed me to send you back to Yun Gui Community,” the man with the duckbill cap said with a smile.

While he was speaking, he glanced toward the direction of the city moat without anyone noticing.

“Oh, thank you. I’ll give Chen Hao another call. Why did he turn off his phone?”

To be honest, when the man mentioned Chen Hao and her name, Su Tongxin did not suspect any further.

She was not sure of Chen Hao’s background, but he must have had an emergency since he left without a word. He was probably worried about her safety, hence he had called someone to fetch her back.

On top of that, this man knew she stayed in Yun Gui Community. Chen Hao must have told him that.

With all this information, Su Tongxin did not doubt him.

However, she felt uneasy that she was unable to contact Chen Hao but none of the calls she made reached him.

“Miss Su Tongxin, are you coming? I have another errand to run!” The driver pressed her.

“Oh, let’s go! Just send me home first!”

Su Tongxin did not want to waste the time of others. She got into the car.

She was slightly mad at Chen Hao for leaving without a call.

I know how to take a taxi home!

The car left.

10 minutes later, Chen Hao appeared in his drenched clothes.

“Stop! Rewind the video! Enlarge the face of the driver!” Chen Hao suddenly shouted.

The owner of the milk tea cafe did not know the identity of Chen Hao, but he did not dare to snub Chen Hao since Manager Wang, who was the bigwig in this area, treated Chen Hao reverently.

He obeyed Chen Hao’s instruction to rewind and enlarge the face of the driver.

Chen Hao carefully observed the driver.

The driver’s face was hidden under the cap and he had some stubble at the corner of his lips.

But Chen Hao recognized the driver.

It was him?!
