Su Jinli called Su Zhan several times, but his phone was turned off.

Her heart was immediately covered with a layer of dark clouds, just like the weather outside the window, which was getting darker and darker. She kept making phone calls and looking out the car window with anxious eyes.

Li Yanchen occasionally looked up at Su Jinli through the rearview mirror to observe her expression and every move. He didn't ask any more questions, as he could see that she was very anxious and didn't want to disturb her mood further.

Su Jinli put down her phone, pursed her lips and thought for a while, the original plot of the novel kept popping up in her mind - the painful look on her father's face after he suffered from depression, struggling alone to digest the divided emotions in the sea of ​​suffering, having the desire to survive in his heart but unable to resist the helplessness of the somatic symptoms.

After the Su family learned that Su Zhan was suffering from depression, Su Changhong said lightly that it was all because he had money to burn and nothing to do. She also blamed Song Li and Su Jinli, mother and daughter, for dominating Su Zhan's life and causing him to lose the career he loved, etc...

The more I thought about it, the more confused my mind became, and the more upset I became. My brain was even uncontrollably distracted by the original plot of the novel, and I couldn't calmly analyze and think about where my father had gone.

At this time, Li Yanchen spoke up, "Don't be anxious. Think carefully about where your uncle would go and why he left so suddenly."

Li Yanchen's words pulled Su Jinli back from the quagmire of the original plot. She raised her head and glanced at the man.

"You need to calm down now." He said, "Uncle is not a child. He would not run away from home for no reason."

After hearing Li Yanchen's words, Su Jinli gradually calmed down. Indeed, everything in the original plot had not yet happened. There was no need to worry or be afraid. Dad had not yet been diagnosed with depression.

She swallowed her anxiety, pursed her lips and recalled the information she had obtained so far. Could her father's sudden departure after the live broadcast be related to the live broadcast?

She immediately opened Douyin and searched for the live broadcast replay. Sure enough, she found many screenshots and short videos related to today's live broadcast. Various marketing accounts were also spreading the word, all discussing that the popularity of Su Zhan's live broadcast was due to Su Jinli's paid online hype.

"So that's how it is..." Su Jinli murmured with her head down.

Li Yanchen slowed down the car and asked her what she saw.

Su Jinli told him, "The news that I hired internet trolls to praise my dad leaked out."

Li Yanchen smiled calmly, "What's so strange about spending money to praise your own father?"

"Yeah, what's so strange about that?"

"Yes, this is simply an act of filial piety."

The two people's ideas hit it off immediately.

After discussing this with Li Yanchen, Su Jinli felt calmer and clearer, the dark clouds and anxiety in her heart completely dissipated. The two of them decided to ignore the online situation and find Su Zhan first.

When she called Song Li again, her voice was trembling. "Li Li, what should I do? I hope your father is alright. He's old, why is he still so childish?"

"Don't worry, Mom. Dad will be fine." Su Jinli said, "I will find him as soon as possible."

Song Li also dropped what she was doing and hurried home to find her lover.

The servants in the Su family villa had lost all their desire to work. Even the chef stopped preparing dinner and gathered together to figure out where the male host might have gone.

Su Zhan was considered quite old, and it wasn't more than a few hours since he'd left home, but it was a departure from his usual behavior and a cause for concern. He'd barely socialized in recent years, and when he'd been away for extended periods, it was always with his wife and daughter, rarely going out on his own. With Miss Lili at home, Su Zhan was even less likely to attend private social events.

In addition, the weather was bad today, and it was really worrying that he went out on foot instead of driving.

The servants had also heard the rumors on the Internet. They said that the Internet is a double-edged sword, which can make someone famous, but can also crush them in a very short time. Everyone was very worried about Su Zhan's situation.

The more they discussed, the more worried they became. Aunt Wang suggested, "Why don't we call the police?"

The chef sighed, "It's only been a while since we lost contact. Can the police help us find him?"

Just as he was speaking, Su Jinli arrived home, and Li Yanchen followed in.

Su Jinli asked Uncle Wang to check the security footage in the yard, and saw that her father had walked towards the northern path. Then she went to the security office and checked the security footage in the park, and saw that Su Zhan had walked out of the park from the north gate alone.

The security captain said, "The surveillance cameras outside the park require the property manager to be present to view them."

Li Yanchen took out his phone and said, "If the property manager doesn't show up within a minute, he can resign."

The security captain asked, "Who...are you?"

"Li Rong Property Shareholder."

"Are you Mr. Li?" The security captain's eyes widened and he quickly called the manager.

A few minutes later, Su Jinli and Li Yanchen saw Su Zhan's route after leaving the park. He first wandered around the park a few times before turning and heading towards the back mountain.

"Go look for it on the mountain." Li Yanchen ordered the security team to follow.

Su Jinli and Li Yanchen had just walked out of the security room when they saw Song Li's car driving into the park.

The car stopped and Song Li hurriedly got out and asked, "Lili, how is it? Have you heard from your father?"

"It's okay, Mom. My dad went to the back mountain. He must be practicing singing."

"What? Your dad jumped off a mountain?" Song Li jerked her body back and almost had a convulsion.

Li Yanchen went over and supported his future mother-in-law, "Aunt Song, uncle just went up the mountain, he didn't jump off the mountain."

Song Li covered her chest with her hands. When she heard that her husband was going up the mountain at this time, the image of him jumping off the mountain automatically appeared in her mind. Her hands were cold and her feet were weak with worry.

When Su Jinli saw her mother's reaction, she was moved by the feelings between husband and wife. Although nothing can be seen when life is ordinary, in fact, the feelings between the two parties have long penetrated into each other's bones, blood, and genes, becoming an inseparable whole. One party is the lifeline of the other.

Li Yanchen asked Song Li to go home and wait for news while they went up the mountain to look for him. Song Li couldn't sit still and insisted on going up the mountain with him. The servants at home also came with them, and a group of people went up the mountain to look for Su Zhan.

As they reached the foot of the mountain, it began to drizzle. No one in the group had an umbrella. Li Yanchen took off his coat and handed it to Su Jinli and Aunt Song to drape over their heads to protect them from the rain.

Su Jinli took the coat and felt as if the same scene had just happened not long ago. Just that morning, when the family of three was climbing the mountain, her father also took off his coat to protect her and her from the wind and rain.

Li Yanchen's behavior often collides with Su Zhan's.

"The wind is strong on the mountain, Aunt Song, please walk behind me." The man's strong body stood in front of Song Li and Su Jinli.

The group walked up the mountain, and when they reached halfway up the mountain, they heard Su Zhan's singing.

"Is that your father's voice? Did I hear it right?" Song Li excitedly grabbed her daughter's hand.

"Yes, I told you my dad is just here to practice singing."

Song Li rushed out and ran up the mountain in the light rain, shouting as she ran: "Hubby! I'm coming, husband! Husband! Wait for my husband!"
