Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 267

“Ah, I went out with her, but after a while of picking up stuff, some other kids called Sanya away to play, so I just stayed there to pick.”

A sense of foreboding filled Sheng Fei’s heart.

Lu Sanya often went out to play with her little friends. It was almost lunchtime, so where was Lu Sanya?

Feeling uneasy, Sheng Fei directly asked Lu Er who Lu Sanya had gone to play with.

After Lu Er answered honestly, Sheng Fei went to find the other kids and spoke to their parents. It turned out that Lu Sanya had indeed played with their daughter for a while.

But after calling their daughter back home, Lu Sanya left by herself.

The last sighting of Lu Sanya was at the west end of the village, and it seemed she was with a few adults at that time.

However, after that, no one had seen her again.

As the sense of dread intensified, Sheng Fei’s heart raced. She felt that something was wrong. It was the instinctive feeling of impending danger.

Sheng Fei furrowed her brows and immediately began to inquire with people nearby.

Some had seen Lu Sanya, while others hadn’t. A few kids said that Lu Sanya had gone to the west end of the village, while others claimed that she went to the foot of the mountain to find Lu Er.

Their information was inconsistent, and no one knew where Lu Sanya actually was.

Sensing that something was off, several concerned neighbors joined Sheng Fei in the search of Lu Sanya.

Before long, Lu Ting returned.

He had heard from someone in the county that Lu Sanya was missing and rushed back.

Once he saw Sheng Fei, Lu Ting was extremely anxious.

“What happened? I heard they said Sanya is missing. Wasn’t she at home all this time? And you were watching over her, right?”

“I also don’t know. I just let Sanya and Second go to the foot of the mountain to pick up some firewood. I was working at home. I had no idea she would go missing.”

Sheng Fei’s face filled with worry. She constantly blamed herself.

She couldn’t believe that Lu Sanya had disappeared.

Lu Sanya was not the same like before. Unlike before, when Lu Sanya would go wherever she pleased without telling Sheng Fei, now if Lu Sanya were to go anywhere, she would definitely inform Sheng Fei.

If she hadn’t told Sheng Fei, it meant something had happened or she couldn’t speak up.

The thought of human traffickers sent a wave of panic through Sheng Fei. After searching with the villagers for a long time, they still hadn’t found Lu Sanya.

Now, Sheng Fei was in a state of desperation, unsure of what to do.

If something had truly happened to Lu Sanya, Sheng Fei felt as if she could die.

She had already regarded Lu Sanya as her own daughter. Even though Sanya could be mischievous, Sheng Fei loved and cared for her.

With Lu Sanya missing now, they had searched everywhere without success and had no choice but to go to the county police station to file a report.

The police began their investigation.

Throughout the afternoon, Sheng Fei and Lu Ting didn’t do any work. They were outside searching.

The village was small, where could Lu Sanya possibly go?

Moreover, after asking the villagers, no one had seen any outsiders passing through. If there were no outsiders, how could Lu Sanya just vanish?
