Cold Haocheng's footsteps seemed frozen as he watched the tiger slowly approaching him from a distance. He was completely paralyzed with fear.
He didn't even know how to cry!
Meanwhile, Cold Thunder, busy in the office, received a call from the driver responsible for picking up Cold Haocheng from school.
"Young Master, it's bad! The kindergarten teacher said that an hour ago, Madam took the young master away!"
"What?!" Cold Thunder immediately stood up. "Did she say where she went?"
"No!"
"Go find her near the kindergarten immediately!"
After hanging up the phone, Cold Thunder rushed out. He had been too careless; he hadn't publicly announced his divorce from Chu Yun, and he should have informed the kindergarten. He never expected that Chu Yun would take advantage of this!
He initially thought that with a house worth tens of millions and a million in savings, Chu Yun would be satisfied!
But he never anticipated that she would still seek revenge!
At the hospital
Lu Kenian brought Lu Xiaonan for a follow-up examination. After a series of tests, the doctor informed Lu Kenian that Lu Xiaonan was recovering very well.
As they left the hospital, Lu Xiaonan looked at Lu Kenian with a bright smile.
"Mom, you said you would take me to the zoo, you can't go back on your word!"
Lu Kenian pinched Lu Xiaonan's little nose, "You little rascal, you still remember after all this time!"
"Of course I won't forget!"
Lu Kenian glanced at the time, "How about we go tomorrow instead? Once we get to the zoo, we won't have much time to look around."
"No way, no way! Let's go now! Tomorrow you'll say you want to go home and we won't be able to go!"
Lu Kenian had indeed booked tickets to return home for tomorrow.
"Alright then."
To save time, Lu Kenian quickly hailed a taxi, fortunately the hospital wasn't too far from the zoo.
As soon as they entered the zoo, Lu Xiaonan became excited.
"Mom! Look at the monkeys! They're so playful! Their bottoms are so red! Mom, why are the monkeys' bottoms red?"
In her excitement, Lu Xiaonan launched into a barrage of questions.
Lu Kenian could only respond with half-hearted answers.
"I heard a child fell into Tiger Mountain! Let's go check it out!" Suddenly, someone nearby chattered as they ran towards Tiger Mountain.
"Mom, will the tiger eat the little kids?" Lu Xiaonan asked.
Lu Kenian looked anxiously towards Tiger Mountain.
As time passed, more people began to notice Cold Haocheng in Tiger Mountain, and soon the entire zoo's visitors had gathered around that area.
Chu Yun frowned as she observed the increasing crowd around her.
This was bad; she had attracted too much attention and was standing out too much.
She glanced at Cold Haocheng, who was still by the ditch, as the tiger approached closer.
"It seems someone will help me capture this moving moment."
Chu Yun wrapped her coat tighter and quickly left the crowd.
"Mom, can we go take a look?" Lu Xiaonan tugged at Lu Kenian's sleeve.
Lu Kenian wasn't one to seek out excitement, but with this situation... Did the zoo staff know about it? Everyone was just watching; had anyone reported it to the zoo?
She decided to take Lu Xiaonan over.
When they reached near Tiger Mountain, Lu Kenian looked at the small figure by the ditch.
How could it be so familiar?
"Mom, it seems like Cold Haocheng."
"Do you think so too?"
Lu Kenian looked around but did not see anyone from the Cold Thunder or the Cold Family.
"Xiao Bei!"
Lu Kenian shouted towards Cold Haocheng.
"Cold Haocheng! Come back! The tiger will eat little kids!" Lu Xiaonan also yelled at the top of her lungs.
Hearing someone call his name, Cold Haocheng moved slightly, which made Lu Kenian certain that this child was indeed Cold Haocheng!
"Xiao Bei! Come back!" Lu Kenian shouted with all her might, but Cold Haocheng acted as if he hadn't heard anything!
Tigers are not impulsive animals; when they notice humans entering their territory, they cautiously probe the situation. Only when they determine that the other party poses no threat do they launch a real attack.
The zoo staff received the notification and rushed over. They began to set off firecrackers to scare the tiger back into its den.
The tiger was indeed startled and started to retreat.
Lu Kenian's heart was in her throat as she immediately took out her phone and unhesitatingly called the Cold Thunder.
"Get to the zoo, Tiger Mountain! Xiao Bei has fallen into Tiger Mountain!"
When he received the call, the Cold Thunder was aimlessly searching for Cold Haocheng on the street. He even tried to call Chu Yun, but the call wouldn't go through.
After hanging up, he immediately drove to the zoo.
"Mom, I'm scared," Lu Xiaonan's voice suddenly trembled with tears.
Lu Kenian quickly covered her eyes. "Xiao Nan, everything will be fine."
The tiger was cautiously preparing to return to its den; once it went back inside, they could send someone in to rescue Cold Haocheng.
At that moment, however, the situation changed.
Firecrackers and water sprays were standard measures at the zoo.
But after the staff set off firecrackers and sprayed water continuously, the tiger suddenly gained courage and started walking toward Cold Haocheng!
This was bad!
Lu Kenian immediately found a zoo staff member.
"Does the zoo not have any firearms for emergencies? Shoot immediately! Save my son!"
The staff member also appeared very anxious.
"You, as a parent, how could you let your son go into Tiger Mountain?!" a staff member accused.
"This is not the time to discuss that; saving him is the priority!"
"To be honest, we have firearms at the zoo, but using them requires approval from higher-ups. We've already submitted the request."
"What about a tranquilizer gun? Surely that can be used?"
"The tranquilizer takes effect after twenty minutes. By then, your son might already be eaten by the tiger! Moreover, using a tranquilizer now would only cause sudden pain, which would agitate the tiger and make it more dangerous!"
The staff member's words left Lu Kenian looking pale.
"No, you must have a way! You feed these tigers every day; you must know how to handle them," Lu Kenian pleaded, gripping the staff member's sleeve tightly.
"This is the first time we've encountered such a situation. To be honest, we really have no solution!"
The staff member appeared helpless. Although they had firearms, using them at the zoo was strictly regulated, and they were powerless in this situation.
"Then you need to think of something quickly! You can't just stand by and do nothing!"
"Right now, we can only wait for approval from our superiors. The best we can do here is set off firecrackers to drive the tiger away; there's really nothing else."
"The tiger is coming!" someone suddenly shouted from the crowd.
