The mall had seven floors. Michelle went up and down on foot and searched every corner of the mall. However, she was still looking for till very late at night. She didn't know what happened to that woman, but she had to find her child first.
In order not to affect the company's reputation, Michelle did not call the police. After all, there were professional security guards in the mall. She believed that everything would be fine as long as she could find the missing child.
"Where will she be?" By this time, it was already dark outside and the shopping mall was quiet. The door had been closed, and that woman would not leave no matter what. She had to be placed in the security room.
Leaning against the cold wall, Michelle's forehead was wet with sweat. Her phone kept ringing, but she wasn't in the mood to answer it.
'What How could I not realize? ' Suddenly, an idea came to her mind. Michelle became aware of it at once. She immediately took out the intercom and said to the others, "you guys go to the parking lot of the shopping mall and the warehouse to look for it."
There was a large supermarket in the shopping center. Michelle was responsible for finding someone in it.
It was dark in the supermarket. She could only see a small area nearby with the light of her mobile phone. When walking, she suddenly heard something and stopped subconsciously.
Luckily, the supermarket was so quiet that the sound could be heard without carefully listening to it.
'It's so late. No one is allowed to stay in the supermarket. It must be the missing child, ' she thought! She couldn't help getting excited at the thought of it.
"Anybody there?" She shouted outside.
No one answered. Occasionally, a gust of wind blew past, as if someone was talking in the ear.
Michelle couldn't help shivering, but she still followed the voice. The voice came from the downstairs of the supermarket. At this time, Michelle was standing at the entrance. She looked at the dark building in front of her and only felt that the wind was colder.
"Is there someone down there?"
Then she went downstairs. The colder she walked, the clearer the voice became.
After walking to the end, she saw an ice house. It was the voice from inside. Without hesitation, Michelle immediately took the intercom to call for help, but since she was far away from the signal area, it went out of control.
"Is there someone in there? Little kid, are you inside? " Being anxious, she had to knock on the door. Although she did not know what was behind the door, the chilly air from the inside made her tremble.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she felt that the cry inside was getting lower and lower.
"Damn it!" She cursed in her mind.
The large iron door in front of her was locked. She was too weak to break into it. But if she went out for help, the more dangerous the people inside!
At this time, she could not rely on others, but only on her own strength.
She looked around and found a hammer in the corner. Without saying anything, Michelle grabbed the hammer and smashed the door. The lock was old, but it broke with a few attacks.
She could not help shivering with fear when she opened the door. All that she could see now was the white mass and the thick fog.
Suddenly, Michelle felt that she was pushed down by a person. It seemed that the person who pushed her was very strong and wanted to run away. And because the freezer was wet, she slipped on her high heels and fell to the ground.
She tried to run after him, but the door of the freezer suddenly closed! Making a loud noise!
How could it be? She had opened the door just now, but why did it close automatically?
When she looked carefully, she found the doors around the freezer were rusty, as if they had not been cleaned for many years. The foods sold in the freezer were all seafood, meat, vegetables and other foods left in the supermarket that day.
"Is there anyone outside?" Standing up from the ground, she tried to knock at the door of the ice house, hoping that the people outside could hear her.
"What? She's still in the mall? " Scott was working on documents in the company. He didn't expect he would be so busy today. He just heard that Michelle had been staying in the mall till now and she had lost contact. Suddenly, his restless heart rose again.
When Scott arrived at the mall, he learned that the woman had left with her child, but he didn't see Michelle. At this moment, everyone was anxious.
"Where did you find the child?" Scott had always believed that the child could be found because of Michelle. But now, the child was back, but Michelle was not here. That meant the child must know where she was!
Now he was like a crazy beast, grabbing the manager's shoulder and shaking it from left to right.
"No, we didn't ask. That woman left with her kid as soon as she found her kid. " The manager looked at Scott with awe as this was the first time he saw him in the Barstow Mall.
The president of the Jiang Group could only be seen on the news report of daily life, and no one had contacted him in person. It was such an honor for him to work in the Barstow Mall?
