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

"Ruolan, what did she say to you when you went to pay?" Gu Yinshen asked.

The police had just asked him the same question.

Ruolan blurted out, "She said she was thirsty and didn't want to try on any more clothes."

"Thirsty? Or do you need to go to the toilet?" Gu Yinshen asked Ruolan to confirm.

Ruolan tried to recall again, "If I remember correctly, she did tell me she was thirsty."

The police officer next to him noticed Gu Yinshen's doubts and asked, "Could it be that you felt thirsty and then needed to use the restroom?"

After all, the mall staff had questioned the customers who had seen Tian Tian in the restroom. They learned that Tian Tian needed to urinate.

"Maybe." Gu Yinshen did not refute the policeman's words, but he already had other thoughts in his mind.

"Yin Shen, send someone to look for her. We can't let anything else happen to our Tian Tian." Ruo Lan helplessly held Gu Yin Shen's hand.

Upon hearing this, the police officer next to her immediately said, "Mrs. Gu, rest assured, we will do our best to find Miss Gu."

The police haven't even figured out how the person disappeared from the bathroom, so how can we expect them to bring the person back as soon as possible?

Ruolan held no hope for them.

"Thank you for your help." Gu Yinshen left the monitor. "May I leave now?"

The police officers and staff exchanged glances and then responded simultaneously.

"Of course, we will contact you as soon as we have any news."

Ruolan pulled Gu Yinshen back as he stepped forward, "Yinshen, but Tiantian hasn't..."

“Ruolan, there’s no point in waiting here. Let’s go back first; maybe she’ll come back on her own,” Gu Yinshen explained.

Despite saying that, Ruolan was still unwilling to leave just like that.

"Ruolan, listen to me!" Gu Yinshen's tone became slightly more forceful, and he gripped her hand a little tighter.

After leaving the monitoring room, the two took the elevator downstairs to the first floor.

The police have searched the entire mall, and mall staff have also inquired with relevant personnel about the situation. Since the remaining customers could not be kept inside, the closed doors were opened.

People swarmed out the door, unwilling to stay inside any longer.

Gu Yinshen pulled Ruolan back, "Let's wait a bit before we go out."

Seeing the crowd swarming out, Ruolan frowned. "Yinshen, do you think Tiantian might be among them?"

"No." Gu Yinshen replied without any hesitation.

Even the most incompetent police could find nothing during a thorough search. There's no other possibility: Tian Tian had already left the mall using some means, which is why she couldn't be found on the CCTV footage.

Turning his gaze away from the crowd, Gu Yinshen took Ruolan's hand and walked out.

As soon as I got on the bus, my phone in my pocket immediately started ringing with a pleasant sound.

"Was that a call from the police?" Ruolan asked expectantly.

Gu Yinshen took out his phone, glanced at the unfamiliar number on the screen, and decisively hung up the call.

"Why didn't you answer?" Ruolan asked anxiously. "What if it was someone from the mall calling? Maybe they've already found Tiantian."

“It’s Chen Ci,” Gu Yinshen said. “He’s already waiting at home.”

Ruolan thought back for a moment and remembered what Gu Yinshen had said yesterday.

She thought it was Sweetie.

Ruolan quietly sat back down in her chair, her eyes fixed on the view outside the window, afraid of missing Tiantian walking along the roadside.

Halfway there, I turned at the intersection and headed towards the company.

the other side.

Sweetie has been led to the VIP room by the bank staff.

"Miss, would you like tea or coffee?" the bank employee asked humbly.

Sweetie enjoyed the hospitality. She sat there haughtily, her fingers unconsciously tapping on the table.

"Cafe!"

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The staff then left the VIP room.

Sitting alone inside, Tian Tian immediately dropped her previous arrogance and nervously glanced at the 'paper money' in her backpack.

Seeing the unchanged 'paper money', my heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into my stomach.

It seems the immortal's illusion technique is quite powerful; at least for now, there are no problems at all.

As the footsteps grew closer, accompanied by conversation, Tian Tian put her backpack down and adjusted her posture to sit on it.

"Knock knock~"

"Come in!"

The staff member who just left was carrying a tray in both hands, followed by a man in a suit and tie. His name tag read "Manager."

"Hello ma'am, this is our bank manager. He will personally handle your business in a moment," the staff member announced.

The money in her backpack must be at least a million. Such large deposits make customers feel valued by banks, and they are usually served by managerial staff.

Sweetie glanced at the man and nodded in response.

"Miss, would you like to deposit all of it, or are you interested in our investment projects?" The manager asked with a smile as he sat down next to Tian Tian.

After depositing the money, she would withdraw it little by little over a short period for errands. She couldn't be bothered to even listen to any talk of financial management.

She pushed her backpack forward and said, "Please help me count this money, which is divided into 100,000s each."

"Store them separately?"

"Yes. I only deposit it into a current account; I don't need any investment products."

Sweet words instantly dashed the manager's hopes and left him with doubts.

"Miss, may I ask where this money came from?"

"Is this something you want to know, or is this a necessary step in saving money?"

The bank manager was stumped by the question. He hesitated for a moment, then quickly explained, "It's like this, our bank has regulations. Large-scale deposits and withdrawals require us to inquire about the purpose or source of funds. So, I'd appreciate it if you could inform us."

After he finished speaking, Tian Tian immediately stood up from her chair and said, "Then I'll go to another bank."

"Madam, please don't rush off!" The manager quickly blocked Tian Tian's path and explained in a flustered manner, "Although there is this request, in order to respect our customers, you also have the right not to inform us."

Such a large sum of money, whether deposited for short or long term, makes the customer an excellent client for the bank.

The manager tried his best to salvage the situation, fearing he might miss out on such a big customer.

Sweetie sat back down in her original spot during the attempt to win him back.

"Enough with the chit-chat, deposit it for me now." Tian Tian tossed an ID card in front of the manager.

The manager picked it up, compared it to the top and bottom, and then turned to his subordinate beside him and said, "Xiao Wang, go get the money counter."

"Good manager."

The door opened, and Tian Tian's heart started to race with nervousness.
