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

"Dad~"

A weak voice called from behind. Gu Shiyu turned around and saw Tian Tian holding Gu Yinshen's hand with a look of fear on her face.

Gu Yinshen squeezed Tian Tian's hand back and asked gently, "Daddy's here. What happened?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tian Tian raised her arms and hugged Gu Yinshen's body.

The sudden embrace made Gu Yinshen frown.

He was about to give up acting; his body was strongly resisting the sweet touch.

Sweetie rested her chin on Gu Yinshen's shoulder and said in a tearful voice, "I just saw a figure enter my room through the window. When I turned on the light to see what the person looked like, he suddenly disappeared. I thought he opened the door and ran out, so I was about to open the door to check. But before I could open the door, I fainted."

He felt the force gripping the doorknob from inside, and it was indeed coming from Tian Tian.

Gu Yinshen moved her body away from his embrace, and with both hands he held her shoulders, "Didn't you see it clearly at all?"

Sweetie tasted it, "The room is too dark."

The window on the balcony wasn't completely closed, and moonlight shone in from outside.

Gu Jingsi walked onto the balcony, put his hands on the railing, and looked down.

There was nothing below, not even the figure she had described.

Turning back, he pressed, "Are you sure it's a person?"

"If it's not a person, then what is it?" Sweetie asked back.

Gu Jingsi stared at Tian Tian for a moment, then smiled and walked into the room. "Are you hallucinating?"

What appears to be an inquiry is actually a test.

Sweetie rubbed her temples and thought for a moment, "My head is all messed up, I don't know either."

"Let's take a look at the surveillance footage," Gu Shiyu said.

"Yes, if it's a person, the surveillance cameras would definitely record it. And if he's still at the Gu residence, it's too dangerous!" After saying that, Tian Tian covered her mouth in horror.

Seeing that she did not resist checking the surveillance footage this time, Gu Shiyu understood that what she was talking about might not exist.

However, whether this is actually the case or not still needs further investigation.

He turned and left the room, while Gu Jingsi and Gu Yinshen remained in the room to keep her company.

"Shi Yu." Ruolan, wearing a shawl, met Gu Shi Yu as he walked down the corridor.

Gu Shiyu glanced back at Tian Tian's room, then strode towards Ruolan. "Mom, why did you come out?"

"What are you all doing in Tian Tian's room?" Ruolan asked with a serious expression.

"Mom, you should go back to your room and rest first." Gu Shiyu helped Ruolan and tried to lead her into the room.

Ruolan stopped in her tracks, unwilling to go any further. "Shiyu, what exactly are you doing?"

She didn't sleep a wink all night. She knew exactly when Gu Yinshen came in and when he left. She just wanted to know what they were hiding from them.

Seeing Ruolan's persistent questioning, Gu Shiyu really didn't know how to start.

"Ruolan." Gu Yinshen seemed to sense it and came out of the room.

Seeing Ruolan pulling Gu Shiyu and demanding answers, he hurried over. He reached out and pulled Ruolan's hand off Gu Shiyu, gesturing for Gu Shiyu to leave first.

"Why are you awake?" Gu Yinshen gently pulled Ruolan's shawl closer to his chest.

Ruolan didn't reject his advances, but she wasn't particularly happy either. She looked at Gu Yinshen and asked the same question she had just asked Gu Shiyu, "What exactly are you doing!"

"What do you mean, what are you doing?" Gu Yinshen feigned ignorance. "Oh, you mean why were you in Tian Tian's room?"

Ruolan looked at Gu Yinshen expressionlessly.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Gu Yinshen gave a vague explanation: "I heard crying, so I came out to check. I found the sound was coming from Tian Tian's room, so I went to her room to see what had happened. Luckily, she just accidentally fell down, and it's nothing serious, so you don't need to worry."

Worry?

Ruolan found it amusing.

She didn't want to know what happened to Tian Tian; she just wanted to know why Gu Yinshen's visit to the study had caused such a huge change.

They all experienced a state of discord at the same time, and then simultaneously returned to normal. Now, all three of them have suddenly reverted to their abnormal state, without any warning whatsoever.

Ruolan pulled Gu Shiyu's hand away and said coldly, "I'll ask you one more time, are you going to tell me or not?"

"I've already explained it to you!" Gu Yinshen said helplessly. "Ruolan, it's getting late. Mengmeng and the others are still resting. If we talk here, we'll wake them up."

Seeing that Gu Yinshen was still hiding it, Ruolan withdrew her hand in disappointment and left without looking back.

She hated being lied to. Back then, it was Gu Yinshen's seemingly well-intentioned lie that caused a rift in their relationship.

He is still the same now.

Gu Yinshen followed Ruolan, intending to go into the room with her to appease her before going to Tiantian's place. However, after Ruolan entered the room, he immediately closed the door behind her.

His ears were ringing from the door banging. Gu Yinshen sighed, "Ruolan, you should rest first. We can talk about it when you wake up tomorrow morning."

He didn't rush to leave, but waited at the door for a while before turning around and walking towards Tian Tian's room.

On the other side, Gu Shiyu also reviewed the surveillance footage from half an hour ago.

Aside from the three of them, no one else appeared in the corridor during that time. Similarly, there was no one in the courtyard.

So either Sweetie was lying, or what she saw wasn't a person, but a ghost that couldn't possibly exist in the world.

"Brother, did you find anything?" Sweetie asked.

With his notebook tucked between his hands, Gu Shiyu faced Tian Tian's enthusiasm and asked, "Before you fainted, didn't you feel anything was wrong?"

Sweetie thought about it seriously, "I just felt a little difficulty breathing, then I felt a little pain in the back of my neck, and then I don't know anything else."

Gu Jingsi hurriedly snatched the laptop from Gu Shiyu's hand, holding it with one hand while rapidly clicking the mouse with the other.

"Let me see too." Sweetie leaned closer to the computer screen.

Gu Shiyu had already seen it. He stood to the side, recalling what Tian Tian had just said.

Actually, it's not much different from what I said at the beginning. But there's one more thing: she went into more detail later on.

"Why is there nothing here?" Sweetie asked to herself.

Gu Jingsi went back and looked again, making sure he hadn't missed anything suspicious. He looked at Tian Tian and asked, "Are you sure you saw a figure? Or are you just dreaming and sleepwalking?"

"Sleepwalking?" Sweetie mumbled, shaking her head and waving her hands. "I'm sure, it's definitely not sleepwalking."

"It might be sleepwalking." Gu Yinshen suddenly remembered that Tian Tian had sleepwalked before.
