CHAPTER 158
Hey guys. I am very very sorry for the late update of the previous chapter. I literarily bowed three times. Please forgive this author, hmm?

When Bai Renxiang asked that question, the security man felt as if his soul has left his body to face this scary woman alone. He kept opening and closing his mouth like a fish in water and that greatly infuriated Bai Renxiang.
"Answer me, you idiot. Where were you when my son walked past this gate?" She repeated the question in a much louder voice.
Bai Renxiang\'s were almost crazed red. Tears had gathered in the rim of her eyes, making things blurry for her and threatening to fall in any moment from then. But being the strong woman that she was, Bai Renxiang tried not to let those tears fall. Instead, she blinked them back.
"What did I hear happened? How can a child be missing from our school? And whose child is it?" The principal came rushing out of his office when he heard that a child from their school went missing.
"The parent of the child is that woman over there," one of the teachers pointed at Bai Renxiang. The principal could only see the back of a woman in a white pantsuit and the pale white trembling security man. He walked towards the woman and got the shock of his life.
"Ms Bai!" He said her name out. Bai Renxiang, on hearing her name turned to the person who called and saw that it was the principal.
"Ms Bai are you... are you the parent... of the child that is missing?" Mr Tang stammered as he asked her. He had to steel himself mentally to look her in the eye. She looked so frightening and intimidating for a petite woman like her.
"Yes, I am. I want to know the reason why such a prestigious school has such a lame security system? Let me even forget that because I do not care about that as my son is more important. What I really want to know this very instant is where this man kept his eyes when another child saw my son leaving the school premises with a man that looked scary?" She said while pointing her finger to the security man.
Mr Tang too looked at the security man in disbelief. How could he have let such a thing happen? He then looked around to find the second security guard that is supposed to be watching the gate along with the other security guard.
When Mr Tang sighted him behind the three teachers, he called him out.
"You. Come here this instant." The security man came forward with his head bowed.
"Where were you when a child left the school premises?"
"I do not know when any child left through this gate. I busied myself in watching the other side of the gate and I swear that only women who seemed to be either mothers or nannies left through the gate," he answered swiftly.
Bai Renxiang, the principal and everyone else turned to look at the other security man. He had yet to answer the question thrown to him. He still did not utter a word. How could he? He would not be bold enough to say that he was dozing off on duty, would he?
"Mummy!"
They heard a child\'s voice a little bit far from the gate. Bai Renxiang instantly turned at the sound of that voice. She could recognise it anywhere in the world. It belongs to her son. To her relief, she saw Bai Xiaojin running towards her with a bright smile on his chubby face, displaying his cute dimples. Bai Xiaojin jumped into her arms and buried his head on her shoulders.
Bai Renxiang hugged him so tight she was almost squishing him. But Bai Xiaojin did not complain. He saw what happened. He saw and heard every single thing. So he knew how she felt.
Bai Renxiang let her son down from her embrace and checked if he had been injured anywhere. Bai Xiaojin almost laughed at her actions.
"I am fine mummy. Nothing happened to your baby, okay?" He said to calm her weary heart.
"How do expect me to believe that huh? Who was the man you followed out of the school? How many times do I have to tell you not to talk to strangers not to even talk of following them to God knows where?" She said as a tear slid down her cheeks.
"I am fine, mummy and that is what matters, okay?" He said cutely as he wiped her tears with his small hand.
"Okay. But you can\'t escape this at home," she let him know that his cute tricks will not work once they were at home.
"Ms Bai, please forgive the carelessness and lack of diligence on the path of the security man. I will deal with him personally," Mr Tang apologized.
"I respect you a lot Mr Tang and that is why I would not dwell on this matter any further." At Bai Renxiang\'s words, everyone sighed in relief but her next word shocked them.
"My son looks exhausted. But that does not mean I will forget about this. I will only not dwell further on it for today. I will speak with you, Mr Tang tomorrow. Also, I hope the school\'s security system by then is enhanced and renewed," she said glaring daggers at the security man.
"Have a good day Mr Tang," she said before she left the school premises without another word or sparing one more glance at them. After they left, Mr Tang sent everyone home by dispersing the small crowd that had gathered to watch the small scene.
On their way to the car, Bai Xiaojin tugged at Bai Renxiang\'s hand that was linked with his. She stopped and looked down at him with a slight frown.
"Mummy looked cool when scolding that security man at the gate," he said with a smile and adoration in his eyes. But then his smile dropped.
"But you are late."
