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

Two grown men in their thirties and forties were now speechless in the face of a child's scolding, not daring to utter a single word of rebuttal.

Seeing this, the police officers nearby all felt that Mengmeng would be a good candidate to become a police officer when she grows up.

Gu Shiyu didn't want these people to affect Mengmeng, so he picked her up and turned to sit down on an empty bench next to him.

Seeing that her son was still angry, Ruolan glanced at Gu Yinshen and, at his signal, meekly sat down next to him.

"Shi Yu".

She had barely uttered a sound when Gu Shiyu turned his head to look in the other direction as if he hadn't heard her.

Having not spent much time together, and now having touched upon something that Gu Shiyu cared about most, Ruolan was somewhat nervous.

"Shi Yu, Mom apologizes to you." Ruolan looked at Gu Shi Yu with pleading eyes, like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for his forgiveness.

Although Gu Yinshen believed that Ruolan had indeed made a mistake, she was still the child's mother and deserved respect.

"Shi Yu, your mother has already apologized and realized her mistake. This matter is over, so don't be angry with her anymore," Gu Yinshen advised.

Gu Shiyu had already calmed down from Mengmeng's words when he was outside the door. He ignored Ruolan because he had acted impulsively and said some things he shouldn't have. Now, facing Ruolan, he felt awkward.

"Mr. Gu."

Officer Chen's shouts rang out.

Gu Yinshen immediately responded, "Officer Chen, I'm here!"

Officer Chen came over, panting, "We have a new lead."

"Really?"

“We tracked down her last stop through citywide surveillance footage to a tea restaurant. After staying there for an hour, she took a taxi and left. We are now using the taxi's location tracking system to trace its route,” Officer Chen explained, providing further details.

The current situation is like a giant cicada pupa, which they are peeling away layer by layer.

Ruolan excitedly grabbed Gu Yinshen's hand, "That's great! Does that mean we'll be able to find Tiantian soon?"

Officer Chen listened and said, "Mrs. Gu, what you said is still uncertain. We have only found the suspect who took your daughter. As for whether she is related to your daughter, we cannot be sure yet."

"When will we be able to find her?" Ruolan pressed.

"This..." Officer Chen couldn't give a definite answer either.

Solving bizarre cases can be incredibly time-consuming and require a lot of manpower. If all goes well, the child might be found tomorrow. But if things don't go smoothly, it's entirely possible that the child won't be found for years, decades, or even a lifetime.

Gu Yinshen put his arm around Ruolan's shoulder and said to Officer Chen, "We're not in a hurry. Officer Chen, just follow your procedures. If there's anything we can do to cooperate, we'll do our best."

"Okay. There's nothing else for Mr. Gu right now. You can take your wife and children home to rest. After all, the children might find their own way home. If you get any news from your side, please contact me as soon as possible."

"Will do."

As the group emerged from the police station, Mengmeng looked at Ruolan, who seemed heavy-hearted. She wanted to cheer her mother up, but she didn't know what else she could do besides ensuring Tiantian's safe return.

On the way back, apart from each other's breathing, there was no other sound coming out of the car.

"Mommy," Mengmeng called out cautiously.

Ruolan glanced at Mengmeng, forced a smile, and replied, "Mom's here."

"Mommy, don't be sad. Sweetie sister definitely doesn't like it when Mommy is unhappy because of her." Mengmeng shifted her body and reached out to stroke Ruolan's arm.

Will she think that way? Or will she blame her for being so careless and losing her again?

Ruolan smiled bitterly, her voice full of dejection, "I hope so."

Hearing this, Mengmeng felt a pang of sadness, and tears welled up in her eyes. But she worried that because of her, everyone's mood would become heavy.

"We've temporarily handed the matter over to the police, and the private investigators are also working hard to find Tian Tian. We'll have results soon," Gu Yinshen said, trying to ease the somber atmosphere.

The car turned and returned to the Gu residence. Old Zhang parked the car and quickly got out to open the back doors one by one.

"Ruolan." Gu Yinshen called out from behind after Ruolan got out of the car.

She turned around, her eyes filled with exhaustion as she awaited his next words.

“Let’s go in together,” Gu Yinshen said as he quickly got out of the car.

As Mengmeng watched her parents walk hand in hand, all the unease and unhappiness she had felt along the way vanished, and a smile appeared on her otherwise bitter face.

"Brother, Dad is trying to make Mom happy!" Mengmeng excitedly told Gu Shiyu, turning her head.

This kind of scene was common three years ago. If Tian Tian hadn't appeared, they might have been even more loving and happy.

Gu Shiyu held Mengmeng's hand and said with concern, "It's cold outside, let's go."

"Brother, Mengmeng isn't cold at all!" Mengmeng playfully twisted her body, teasing her brother like a little rascal. "Mengmeng thinks brother is very cold, though!"

Gu Shiyu pretended to be cold and pulled his open coat closer. "Yes, I'm getting old and can't stand the cold anymore. So Mengmeng should hurry up and go back inside to warm up."

"Okay, Mengmeng will definitely take good care of her brother."

Mengmeng's laughter echoed in the front courtyard of the Gu residence.

In the bushes opposite the entrance, Wang Kang raised his hand and patted his calves. After everyone had gone inside, he could no longer bear the tiny insects in the bushes nibbling at his calves.

With a single stride, he burst out of the bushes, the movement so large that he nearly dropped the camera he was carrying.

Wang Kang opened the camera's storage and looked through the footage he had just taken.

"I didn't expect that woman to be right!" Wang Kang kissed the camera screen affectionately, unable to contain his excitement, and immediately took out his phone to call his boss.

The phone rang and rang twice, then he put it away and rushed back to his studio.

He had barely left when the sound came from the bushes again.

Sweetie patted her trouser legs and stared at the Gu residence with a resentful look.

Her disappearance gave Mengmeng an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and try to kick her out of the Gu family completely.

Hmph, she can forget about it!

Sweetie turned around and sat back down in the woods behind the bushes. She reached out and touched the ground, checked the time, and then hid her phone in the bushes.

In half an hour, she will transform from an adult back into the appearance of a three- or four-year-old child.
