Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everything looked happy and harmonious.
The unforeseen event happened around nine o’clock.
Lu Nings phone rang.
In the room, Lu Zhi was the first to hear it. “Ningning, your phone is ringing.”
Lu Ning stood up and walked towards her room.
Shen Yunci reminded her, “Ningning, come back quickly after the call. The best part is about to begin.”
Lu Ning smiled and replied, “Okay.”
She pushed the door open and entered the room. She picked her phone up from the bed.
The caller ID was Lin Ci.
She smiled and answered the call.
However, it was not Lin Ci’s voice.
The smile on Lu Nings lips faded bit by bit.
Her eyes immediately turned red, and tears fell from her eyes. Her phone also fell to her feet.
Halfway through the show, Shen Yunci realized that Lu Ning was not back yet and was puzzled.
“Ningning?”
She called her twice, but no one answered. She got up to look for her.
“Ningning, what’s wrong? Who’s the call from?”
Shen Yunci pushed the door open and entered, only to see Lu Ning standing by the bed with her back facing her.
“Ningning?”
Shen Yunci called out again and walked over to look at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning stood there in a daze, as if she did not know anything. There were still tears on her face.
Shen Yunci was shocked. “What’s wrong, dear? What happened?”
Lu Zhi came over when he heard this.
“Old Lu, come and take a look at Ningning.”
Lu Zhi was about to go over when their phones suddenly rang at the same time. Lu Ning picked it up and took a look. It was a group message.
The missing persons list had just been updated. There were a few more names on it, and one name was abnormally dazzling.
Lu Ning suddenly turned to look at Shen Yunci.
“Mommy.”
Shen Yunci quickly responded.
“Mommy’s here.”
Lu Ning was as stiff as a robot. “Little Ci.”
That was all she said, and large drops of tears fell from her eyes. Lu Zhi opened his mouth and looked at Shen Yunci with red eyes.
“Little Ci, she’s missing too.”
Shen Yunci’s eyes instantly turned red. She looked at the stunned Lu Ning and immediately hugged her.
“Don’t be afraid. Ningning, don’t be afraid. Little Ci will be found. She will be found.’
She said that as she started crying.
Lu Ning, on the other hand, looked a little numb as she let Shen Yunci hug her.
She moved to hug Shen Yunci, but she did not cry or make a fuss. She just knew very well that she was next.
She clenched her fists and looked down at the ground. Her gaze slowly became firm.
No matter what happens to me, I have to save Little Ci and everyone else!
They had been arrested for no reason. All because of her. All because they were her friends.
Chen Xingqian and Guan Chiyue’s names were also on that list.
For the entire afternoon, Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi accompanied Lu Ning, afraid that her imagination would run wild.
It was not until the sky turned dark that Lu Ning looked at them. “Dad, Mom, you don’t have to stay with me. I’m fine.”
The two of them did not dare to leave.
“I’m really fine. I just want to stay by myself for a while. Can you let me be by myself for a while? I’m a little hungry. Mom, Dad, can you make me some spicy chicken? I want to have that.”
The two of them looked at each other and nodded.
“Alright, if there’s anything you need, tell Mom and Dad, understand? If you want to say something, you have to tell Mom and Dad, okay? Don’t hold it in.
Little Ci will definitely be found safe and sound.”
Lu Ning smiled and nodded. “Yes, I know. She’ll definitely be found.”
Her voice was firm, which made Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi feel relieved.
The two of them looked at Lu Ning, then stood up, opened the door, and walked out..
