Chapter 312 Getting to the bottom of things
She probably didn't go outside, right?
It's so dark here, probably not.
The idea popped into my head, but I felt it wasn't very practical, so I shook my head and denied it before even saying it aloud.
Aunt Xue looked at Ruilan with concern and tentatively asked, "Madam, maybe she's sulking and hiding in her room, deliberately trying to keep you from seeing her."
"Out of spite?" Ruolan recalled the scene when she entered the room and shook her head in denial. "No, the bed was neatly made, and there wasn't a sound in the room. Aunt Xue, she shouldn't have gone out, right?"
"I...I guess so..." Aunt Xue's voice trembled slightly as she spoke, afraid of saying the wrong thing and making things more complicated.
upstairs.
"Ruolan?" Gu Yinshen opened the bathroom door and looked at the empty house where Ruolan was nowhere to be seen. His face darkened instantly.
Did she go to Sweetie's room?
Gu Yinshen turned around and hurried downstairs.
"Sir, you've come at just the right time." Aunt Xue heard the voice coming from the stairs and immediately turned her gaze. The moment she saw Gu Yinshen, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She had no idea how to handle this kind of tricky situation.
Aunt Xue pretended to greet Gu Yinshen, but she also moved her body far away from Ruolan.
"Why did you come down suddenly?" Gu Yinshen came to Ruolan's side, put his arm around her shoulder, and led her upstairs.
"Yin Shen, my eyelids have been twitching since just now." Ruolan broke free from Gu Yin Shen's grasp, feeling vaguely uneasy.
One problem is that Sweetie isn't around at home; the other is that they've suddenly become very strange. Combining these two factors, the problem becomes much bigger.
"Let me see." Gu Yinshen turned Ruolan's body back to normal with a worried expression, carefully looking at the eye she mentioned that had been twitching.
It was probably a psychological reaction; there was nothing unusual to be seen.
"Are you feeling very unwell?" Gu Yinshen asked.
Ruolan nodded.
It wasn't just her eyelids that hurt; she also felt inexplicably heavy-hearted. It was as if something was stuck there, unable to come up or go down.
She pressed her hand to her chest, while gripping Gu Yinshen's arm tightly with her other hand. "Did something happen to Tiantian? Tell me, don't hide it from me!"
Gu Yinshen knew Ruolan's temperament; now that she had asked, there was no way to hide it anymore.
"She is at the police station now."
"The police station?"
Ruolan looked at Gu Yinshen with surprise and disbelief, "How come she's at the police station? Didn't you say she was in her room at dinner?"
“I didn’t tell you the truth because I was afraid you would worry,” Gu Yinshen explained. “We’ve found her now, and I’ve sent people to bring her back.”
Ruolan staggered back a step, her back hitting the sofa. "So many things have happened, and I didn't even notice."
She was an incompetent mother from the very beginning. Heaven, seeing her longing for her daughter, sent her child back to her side, yet she didn't even appreciate it.
Her carelessness almost caused her to leave heartbroken.
"Yin Shen, let's go pick up Tian Tian now!" Ruo Lan grabbed Gu Yin Shen's hand and said urgently, "She must really want to see us right now."
"I've already sent someone to pick them up; they're on their way back," Gu Yinshen said gently.
"No, I have to go and bring her back myself!" Ruolan let go of Gu Yinshen's hand, as if she were possessed, muttering to herself and rushing out anxiously.
She didn't know which police station it was, nor did she know where Tian Tian was, so she went to pick her up without knowing anything.
Gu Yinshen couldn't bear to see Ruolan like this, so he caught up with her and grabbed her hand. "Don't worry, let me contact them first and see where they are."
Ruolan stopped, regaining her composure somewhat.
The call was made, but the other party did not answer immediately. After a few busy tones, the call was automatically disconnected.
Ruolan's heavy heart had just settled down when it jumped up again. "Yin Shen, could something have happened to Tian Tian?"
"No, that won't happen." Gu Yinshen held her hand firmly, offering her support. "She's with the police now, and she's very safe. There could be many reasons why she didn't answer the phone, but it definitely has nothing to do with Tiantian."
"really?"
"You don't even believe what I say anymore?"
"I believe you, but..."
"Ruolan, don't worry, I'll have someone bring her back safely. It's cold outside, let's go back to the living room first, and after I contact them, we'll see if we need to drive there to pick her up ourselves."
After calming down, Ruolan gradually regained her composure. She nodded, agreeing with Gu Yinshen's words.
……
"I don't know them, I won't go with them!"
"But they were indeed the people your father arranged to pick you up."
The policewoman followed Sweetie's movements and explained to her.
Both bodyguards were tall and burly, standing at 1.8 meters, but they were helpless against the child throwing a tantrum and could only stand there like wooden statues.
Every police officer in the police station who had nothing to do surrounded Tian Tian, patiently saying nice things to her again and again.
Despite all our attempts to reason with her, she wouldn't listen to a word and refused to leave with the two bodyguards in front of her.
Seeing that he couldn't appease them, the police officer turned to the bodyguards and said, "You've seen the situation. You should call the Gu family."
The two bodyguards exchanged a glance, and then one of them took out his phone from his pocket.
When the screen was turned on, they discovered that Gu Yinshen had called them ten minutes earlier.
The call was dialed back, but the other party did not answer.
The police station is in complete chaos because of Tian Tian. They can't get in touch with Gu Yinshen either, and even the bodyguards are having a headache.
……
"Mom and Dad, why aren't you resting yet?" Mengmeng got up to drink water and saw Gu Yinshen with a serious face in the living room, and Ruolan with a worried look in her eyes.
She glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already quite late.
Hearing Mengmeng's voice, Ruolan's thoughts were pulled back. She turned around and asked with concern, "Why did you come down?"
"Mengmeng wants to drink water."
"It's evening, and the weather is a bit chilly, so you should drink some hot water."
As Ruolan spoke, she stood up from the sofa and walked towards the living room.
The water in the measuring cup on the table had already cooled down, and she didn't want Mengmeng to drink it directly, worried that it would upset her stomach at night.
She opened the sliding door, went into the kitchen, and picked up the kettle.
"Mom, did you and Dad have a fight?" Mengmeng asked anxiously.
At this hour, they should be resting in bed, not sitting on the living room sofa staring at each other with heavy hearts.
If they really do argue, how can she persuade her parents to make up and stop arguing?
With a headache, Ruolan came to Mengmeng's side and said, "Mom and Dad didn't fight."
