"I don't want you to rub ice cream on your clothes because it's too cold," Gu Shiyu explained.

Mengmeng turned around, glanced at Gu Shiyu, and stepped forward to hold his hand. "Of course Mengmeng knows. Mengmeng just feels that it is very lonely."

One second they were in their hands, pampered and cared for. The next second they were in a dirty trash can, unnoticed.

If given a choice, would ice cream no longer want to be ice cream that melts in an instant?

I don't understand why Mengmeng suddenly became sad, but this kind of emotion is very damaging to a person's inner thoughts.

Gu Shiyu held Mengmeng's hand tightly, "Even if it's fleeting, they are still recognized and loved, which is already worthwhile for them."

"Really?" Mengmeng's eyes lit up.

"Of course." Gu Shiyu gently stroked Mengmeng's head. "Alright, we should head out to find Uncle Ling now."

"Okay." Mengmeng nodded in agreement.

The two walked side by side on the path in the botanical garden, feeling the breeze and watching the branches swaying on both sides, their minds and bodies were soothed.

After leaving the botanical garden, Gu Shiyu gave the driver the address of Xie Beiling's residence.

……

"Yin Shen, is there still no news?"

Ruolan, restless, stood up from the sofa and anxiously went to Gu Yinshen's desk.

The computer screen was showing surveillance footage from the mall. Ever since he returned, Gu Yinshen had been watching it obsessively, over and over again, not wanting to miss a single frame.

Ruolan looked down at the screen, frowned, and snatched the mouse from Gu Yinshen's hand to pause the video.

"Ruolan?"

"Yin Shen, this schoolbag is a sweet schoolbag."

Ruolan pointed to the screen.

On the screen, a woman who looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old was carrying a child's backpack.

"Are you sure?" Gu Yinshen pressed.

Ruolan nodded, "I can't be wrong. Tiantian was carrying this backpack on her back when she left this morning. I tried to help her carry it several times, but she refused. So I have a very deep impression of this backpack, there's no mistake."

Zooming in on the video reveals that the figures become blurry. Combined with the angle, only half of the woman's face is visible.

"She came out of the bathroom carrying Tian Tian's schoolbag. Where is Tian Tian? Could she be in the schoolbag?" Ruolan covered her mouth in horror.

The schoolbag looked heavy, and judging from its appearance, her guess wasn't impossible. However, stuffing a three- or four-year-old child safely into a schoolbag was always a difficult task.

Gu Yinshen got up and helped Ruolan to sit in the office chair he had just been sitting in, his fingers kneading her stiff neck. "There were many people in the restroom at the time, so what you guessed would be difficult to carry out. Moreover, no one present noticed anything unusual or heard any strange noises."

Thinking back on it carefully, that's indeed the case. No matter how powerful someone is, they wouldn't dare to make a move in a public place, especially in broad daylight when there are many people around.

Ruolan looked at the backpack on the screen that was almost identical to Tiantian's. After a moment of silence, she suddenly realized, "Tiantian's backpack was also very bulging when she went out."

"The same as this backpack?" Gu Yinshen pressed.

Ruolan glanced at the screen again, and said uncertainly, "It feels the same."

Gu Yinshen took out his phone and took a picture of this frame on the screen.

“I sent it to the police, and they should be able to find out her personal information soon.”

"Is such a blurry photo acceptable?"

"That's not clear."

Gu Yinshen glanced at the time, then took out his phone and called Gu Shiyu.

The phone rang for two seconds before being answered.

"Dad, let's not go back for now."

Hearing Gu Shiyu's voice coming through the receiver, Ruolan immediately shouted into the phone, "Shiyu, something's happened!"

Gu Yinshen did not intend to tell Gu Shiyu about Tian Tian's situation. This phone call was just to tell him that he could go back first when he was tired of playing with Mengmeng.

He had just received a message from Aunt Ping; Chen Ci left after taking a phone call.

"Brother, is that Mom and Dad?" Mengmeng asked curiously as she heard the voices drifting out.

"Hmm." Gu Shiyu nodded, moving the phone from Mengmeng's ear to his other ear. "Dad, what's wrong?"

“Sweetie is missing,” Gu Yinshen said.

Whether she was abducted or left on her own initiative, the matter is still not fully resolved.

Ruolan reached for her phone and tearfully told Gu Shiyu on the other end, "I took her to the mall, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared."

When Gu Shiyu heard about Tian Tian, ​​he instantly lost his mood.

"Did you call the police?"

"I reported it, but half a day has passed and there's still no news."

Gu Yinshen comforted Ruolan and took the phone back, saying, "Be careful when you're out with Mengmeng."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

"Ah."

After the call ended, the curious Mengmeng immediately came over.

"Brother, Mengmeng thinks she heard Mom and Dad talking about Sister Tiantian. What happened to her?"

"It's nothing." Gu Shiyu put his phone back in his pocket and turned to look out the window. "We're almost at Uncle Ling's house."

Sweetie looked out the window, and her attention was immediately drawn away.

"I wonder if Uncle Ling is home at this time. If he's not, should we go to the research institute again?"

"They should be at home."

As they were talking, the car arrived at the door of Xie Beiling's residence.

Seeing the car parked at the entrance, Gu Shiyu got out and opened the car door for Mengmeng.

"Brother, will Aunt Yumian be angry with me because of what happened last time?" Mengmeng became nervous after getting out of the car.

She recognized Aunt Yu Mian from the start and deliberately let Uncle Ling come over. If Aunt Yu Mian knew, she would definitely think that she had deliberately set her up.

Thinking about this problem, Mengmeng faced the closed door in front of her and instantly lost all motivation to move forward.

"No, she will like you very much." Gu Shiyu replied firmly.

To date, in Gu Shiyu's memory, anyone who has met Mengmeng and had any contact with her has invariably fallen in love with her.

Uncle Ling is already a headache enough for him, but what if Aunt Yu Mian also really likes Mengmeng? Will they team up to try and 'lure' Mengmeng away from their home?

Gu Shiyu felt anxious instantly.

The two stood outside the door, neither of them moving forward for a long time.

"Beiling!"

Through the living room's floor-to-ceiling window, Xie Yumin saw Mengmeng and Gu Shiyu standing outside the door.

Although the departure that night was rushed and awkward, Ruolan noticed Gu Shiyu standing at the door, looking at her with surprise.
