His calm expression fell to pieces. Lu Yichen only felt his hands and legs run cold, and he lost his sense of bearing.
"MOM—" he shouted. He didn't know where he should start looking for her.
He didn't care about anything else right then. He looked around helplessly, trying to find any trace of his mother.
His mother might have gone to the toilet. She must have. Nothing must have happened to her, thought Lu Yichen.
Lu Yichen's heart tightened. He didn't dare to imagine whether his mother had lost her way or had been kidnapped…
His blood turned colder and colder.
He tried to calm himself down to formulate the best plan to find his mother.
However, he was unable to calm his anxiety and was a mess.
Not only had his mom not gone out of the country before, she had also never been outside of City A.
How scared must she be feeling now?
Lu Yichen's eyes were red now. He gritted his teeth, enduring his anxiety as he tried to find that familiar figure in the mass of people.
I hope nothing's wrong, I hope nothing's wrong, I hope nothing's wrong…
He had never felt himself so weak and helpless before.
He seemed to not be able to do anything other than pray now.
"MOM— WHERE ARE YOU!" He screamed in a heart-wrenching voice.
"Yichen…"
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out from behind him.
Lu Yichen turned around anxiously and almost slipped and fell. His pupils dilated as he looked at the person before him.
It was his mother.
His only kin.
She was standing in front of him, unscathed.
Lu Yichen's legs went a little weak. Luckily, he was able to hold himself up and didn't make himself look like more of a mess.
"Where… have you been?" His voice was hoarse and dry as he asked, but it was not reprimanding.
It was his fault for leaving his mother alone.
Lu Qianlan looked at her sweaty son and the lingering panic in his eyes guiltily.
She heart ached immensely and she understood what had happened.
"Sorry, mom made you worry. I only saw that person… Did that man steal your wallet just now? I saw him and went to chase after him…"
But I asked you to stand here to wait for me!
Lu Yichen breathed in deeply and closed his eyes, keeping the rebuke that wanted to come out of his mouth in.
"Mom, your health isn't good so you couldn't have caught up to him. It's okay if my wallet is gone."
"But…"
"Where's our luggage?" Lu Yichen looked at her hands and it was only then that she realized that there wasn't anything beside her. Their luggage was nowhere to be seen too.
He suddenly had a bad feeling.
Could it be that the luggage had also been stolen?
Lu Qianlan looked as though she could see his worry and shook her head hurriedly, "No, it's not lost. That young man there is holding on to it for us and they've gone to chase after that guy."
"What young man?" Lu Yichen had to stay vigilant. After all, this was not China. There were all sorts of people out here and no one could tell if they were really being good-hearted or had bad intentions.
However, he couldn't blame his mother for not being vigilant.
Lu Qianlan looked behind him and smiled. "Those young men over there. They've caught the person."
Lu Yichen turned around and saw three men in western suits. One of the men had their luggage in his hand, and the other two were holding on to the East European who had stolen his wallet.
The person with their luggage in tow walked up to them and said to Lu Qianlan respectfully in Mandarin, "Madam, is this your wallet?"
Lu Yichen looked at it. It was indeed his wallet. He took it and nodded. "Thank you."
Even though he believed that there were good people in this world, he still maintained a skeptical attitude and looked at the men in front of him guardedly.
