Hello, Mr Li Chapter 217 - Who Took Her?

Hani looked at Changyu through the rearview mirror and noticed that she was deep in thought.

She sighed sadly. 

Miss Changyu was a nice woman. She was everything a man would probably want in a woman. But here she was, lonely and broken.

Changyu stared out the window in a daze. She looked at the Orphanage they had just come out from. The hope she had gone there with was no more.

"I will talk. Please... I will tell you everything." Her mother cried out. 

Maybe they thought she had been bluffing when she asked her bodyguards to lock them up. After an hour in the bas.e.m.e.nt, they must have realised that she meant it and so, Madam Song yielded first.

"Talk." Changyu simply said without any intention of bringing them out of the dark and uncomfortable bas.e.m.e.nt.

Just as she had ordered, the place was very hot which caused sweat to drizzle down their bodies. Both their hands and feet were tied with chains. They totally looked like mad people. 

That's right, she didn't have to be the only mad one.

But, she wasn't impressed by the fact that the place was tidy. She would have preferred it if it looked like a haunted house instead.

"Please.. Get us out of here. We will tell you everything you need to know" Her father pleaded with her for the first time. 

"I gave you the chance earlier but you took it for granted. You better start talking. Do not expect anyone to get you out of here until you tell me everything I need to know." She replied coldly.

"He....he did everything" Madam Song pushed the blame to her husband. "He totally did everything. I warned him against it but he refused."

Changyu's breath became unsteady and her hands began to shake.

So it was true after all. Her baby didn't die. They had both done something.

"We were in it together. Do not dare try to put the blame on me now" Elder Song countered angrily. 

"What do you mean by that? I warned you against it all. You were the one who went ahead with your plans. You are a bad father!" Madam Song accused.

"Keep quiet. I do not care who planned it. I just want to know what happened and where my baby is!" She demanded. 

25 Years Ago.

Madam Song paced around the sitting room nervously while her husband sat on the couch in his usual composed manner. 

Soon, the door opened to reveal Anna who was cradling a little baby that was well covered—more like hidden.

"My goodness. That's him."

Madam Song quickly carried the baby from Anna.

"Actually.... It's a She" Anna stuttered. 

"What!?" Elder Song who had been quiet shot up from his seat and looked at his wife who was equally surprised. 

"A she? That stupid daughter of yours had to disgrace this family even more" He said in frustration. 

The plan had been to tell people that they adopted a son since they had none. What was the point of having two daughters and adopting a third?

"What are we going to do?" Madam Song asked in panic. "How is Changyu?" 

"She is still unconscious. According to doctor Peters, it's nothing serious"

"Wait outside" Elder Song told Anna and turned to face his wife after when she left. 

"We can't keep this child." He said pointedly.

"What do you mean? She is our grandchild. Where are we supposed to keep her?" 

At that point, the little girl began to cry. She had just come into this world but she was being moved about. 

Madam Song tried her best to stop her granddaughter from crying as she spoke to her husband. 

"We have to keep this child. No matter what."

"If anyone finds out about this do you think there would be anything to this family again? What would people think when they suddenly see a little girl in this house after hiding our daughter from the public for months?"

"But..."

"We have already chosen a groom from a reputable family for her. This baby is going to ruin everything if we keep her. She is going to ruin this entire family!" He said loudly which caused the baby to cry even louder. 

"What..  What are we going to do?" Madam Song asked with tears in her eyes. 

The plan was simple. Sending the baby to an orphanage was impossible for them and they couldn't just abandon her somewhere. She at least, needed a family to take care of her. 

Because he cared about his granddaughter, he asked them to drop her off in front of 'Happy Ending Orphanage'. It was the best Orphanage he could think of and at least, the staffs there would easily find her.

With tears in her eyes, Anna refused to do it when she was told.

How could she possibly do something like that to a child who was like her grandchild?

"Please...." On her knees, she cried. "The weather is too cold. And it's already late. No one is going to find her this night. She will freeze to death if we leave her there" She begged.

"Then wear her the thickest sweaters. We can't possibly drop her there during the day. If you don't do it, I'll just ask one of the guards to do it then. You don't have to worry about getting seen, we will block off the entire CCTV cameras in that area" Elder Song spoke angrily. 

Changyu cried when she listened to her mother's narration. Her legs gave her away and she crashed on the floor. It was a girl. It was a fragile little girl. Her parents did that to her daughter.

"W....hy? Why did you do that? Why!?" She cried at the top of her lungs.

"We are sorry. Changyu we are truly sorry. We didn't want you to have any obstacle in your life. We are very sorry" Her father began to cry as he apologized. Seeing his daughter like this now, he was beginning to think he had made the wrong decision back then. 

Changyu looked at the both of them with evident hatred in her eyes before leaving them there.

The light in the room was put off so the couple both cried silently in the dark room.

Changyu used a hand to clean off the tears that threatened to fall from the corner of her eyes. 

They told her it was this particular orphanage HAPPY ENDING. 

She felt she had heard of the name before but she could not really place it.

Just like her mother had told her, they had not only cleared the footage for that night, but the footage for the entire day wasn't there either.

No matter how hard they checked, nothing was there.

She had visited Happy Ending Orphanage yesterday to ask questions but most of the staffs there were all knew.

There was only one elderly woman who had stayed there for close to 30years and had promised to check the past entries.

But after returning today to meet with her, she was informed that they had been just one record of a child found outside the orphanage and that was about eighteen years ago and it was a boy.

If her daughter had died, they would have obviously seen her body there. But if she wasn't there at all, it only meant that someone had carried her daughter from there that night. 

According to her parents, Anna told them that she dropped the baby outside the gate. They also confirmed from the driver and bodyguard that had taken them there. 

So who carried her baby? 

Her phone rang and she almost ignored it when she saw it was a call from her sister but she changed her mind and took the call instead. 

"Where are they? I heard your place was the last place they visited. No one had seen them ever since." Her sister questioned. 

"So?" Changyu asked indifferently.

"Where are they?" 

"They are in my place. You can go meet them there if you wish" Changyu answered before hanging up.
