The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

"Who are you looking for?" Aunt Ping came out to check after hearing the sound.

Chen Ci stuck his head out of the car and said, "President Gu's guest."

Before leaving, Gu Yinshen gave specific instructions. Aunt Ping looked at the person in front of her and matched him with the person Gu Yinshen had mentioned.

"Our husband hasn't returned yet," Aunt Ping said as she opened the door. "Come with me to the living room first, and I'll let him know as well."

Chen Ci looked around the layout of the Gu residence and couldn't help but ask gossipily, "Where is your wife?"

Aunt Ping, who was leading the way, turned around and looked Chen Ci up and down. "Why are you asking this?"

"I'm not only here to visit President Gu today, but also to present Mrs. Gu's portrait," Chen Ci replied with a smile.

Aunt Ping sized him up, then looked away and continued walking forward. "Our madam has taken Miss out."

"When will you be back?"

"I don't know about this."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ci's face immediately darkened. "When did you leave?"

"Good morning," Aunt Ping replied. "Mr. Chen, please rest here. Would you like tea or coffee?"

The person I was supposed to visit wasn't there, so I lost my appetite for anything to drink.

Chen Ci bent down and sat on the sofa, replying perfunctorily, "Whatever."

"Okay." After Aunt Ping left the reception room, she immediately told Gu Yinshen about his arrival.

Anticipating that he wouldn't arrive at the agreed time, Gu Yinshen felt exceptionally pleased as everything unfolded as he had predicted.

Since he deliberately came early, we should have enough patience to wait.

……

"This is it. There are clean work clothes in the cabinet. Change into them first. Then take the vacuum cleaner to the bathroom on the third floor. There's a private stall there for mops. Mop the floor first, then put the vacuum cleaner by the door," the woman in protective clothing said to Tian Tian.

"Okay, I remember everything."

Sweetie was wearing a mask, and only took it off after the person who led her there left.

Smelling the mixture of disinfectant and air freshener, she frowned, put her mask back on, and quickly changed into her cleaning uniform at the location the person had just indicated.

The cleaning carts are all in a separate tool room next to the work area. Tian Tian placed her schoolbag under the cart, and a layer of cloth on both sides perfectly wrapped the outside of the cart.

She stood in front of the mirror, tidied herself up, and then pushed the cart out.

"What exactly is going on?! The child's disappearance has nothing to do with us, so why are we being locked up inside and not allowed to leave?"

"That's right, I have things to do! I'm not going to delay things."

"Where are the people involved? Shouldn't they come forward and give us an explanation?"

After the exits were blocked, some other customers inside the mall began to complain.

Sweetie weaved through the crowd, heading towards the staff entrance.

In addition to the official passageways, there are also dedicated cargo transport passageways inside the mall, which are only accessible to staff.

Having already found out, Sweetie naturally pushed her stroller inside.

Looking at the sun hanging in the sky, my heart instantly became excited and surging.

She will soon be able to complete the task assigned by the immortal!

There is a bank diagonally opposite the shopping mall, which is only a three-minute walk away.

Sweetie opened her backpack a crack, peeked inside, and after confirming that it contained cash, she zipped it up and slung the backpack over her chest.

Inside the mall.

Ruolan sat in the monitoring room watching the surveillance footage show that Tiantian went into the toilet and never came out again. Her heart instantly went from a glimmer of hope to a plunge into an ice cave.

"How could someone go in and never come out again?" Ruolan couldn't understand.

The bathroom only has one entrance and exit. People were seen going in and out of the bathroom without any unusual behavior in the video. How could a living person just disappear from the bathroom? It's too surreal!

The staff also found it unbelievable, but the video clearly showed that the person went in and never came out again.

"Madam, please rest assured. Our mall will definitely investigate thoroughly and bring your daughter back to you," the staff member promised.

No verbal promise is as good as seeing someone in person. Ruolan's eyes were fixed on the computer screen, her hands trembling as she took her phone out of her pocket.

She didn't know how she turned on her phone or how she made the call. But the moment she heard Gu Yinshen's question, Ruolan could no longer hold back.

"Yin Shen, Tian Tian is missing..."

"Where are you now?"

Ruolan sobbed, responding with intermittent sobs, "The...the shopping mall..."

"Ruolan, calm down. Send me your location first, and I'll come find you right now."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, the staff member next to me came over.

"We have already called the police, and the police have arrived and are investigating the scene."

"Any clues?"

The staff member shook their head, "Not yet."

Ruolan's eyes became vacant, and her face turned pale.

Half an hour later, Gu Yinshen arrived at the monitoring room where Ruolan was, where the police officers who had finished their investigation were still sitting.

"Yin Shen!"

What exactly happened?

Gu Yinshen came to Ruolan and reached out to support her arm.

Her body was as cold as ice!

"Put it on." Gu Yinshen took off his coat and draped it over Ruolan's shoulders.

The lead police officer recognized Gu Yinshen and immediately stepped forward to greet him, "Mr. Gu, is the lost child your daughter?"

"Yes." Gu Yinshen did not deny it. "Is there any result? Was it lost or kidnapped?"

"Not yet. We reviewed the surveillance footage and questioned several people who were in the restroom at the time. But those who saw your daughter for the last time only saw her enter the stall; they didn't see her come out," the police officer stated, explaining what they knew.

The case is currently stuck here. A living person can't just disappear into thin air. After all, time travel in TV dramas is just a fictional creation.

Gu Yinshen looked at the screen in front of him and said, "Could you please play that surveillance video again?"

"Okay." The staff member immediately clicked play.

The video, from the moment the two women entered the mall to when Ruolan discovered Tian Tian was missing after she went into the restroom, lasted less than an hour.

"Could you please switch it back? I'd like to take another look," Gu Yinshen requested.

Following his instructions, the staff switched the video back to the scene where Ruolan followed the cashier to pay, while Tiantian stood alone inside the store.

After looking at this place several times, Gu Yinshen finally caught a glimpse of the expression on Tian Tian's face one last time.

“It wasn’t kidnapping,” Gu Yinshen said.

Ruolan asked curiously, "Yin Shen, how did you know?"
