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

“No!” Gu Shiyu coldly refused.

Xie Beiling couldn't understand what motivation was left to keep going after things had developed to this point.

“Things have already progressed this far, it wouldn’t be good to give up halfway,” Gu Jingsi said, trying to mediate. “If you don’t want to continue, then don’t come to the Gu family these next few days.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yinshen, who had been panting heavily, said, "If there are no more clues today, let's end it here."

"The end?" Gu Jingsi asked rhetorically.

Having already put in so much effort and still not achieved results, are you really going to give up so easily?

Gu Shiyu's heart also became conflicted.

To prevent Mengmeng from getting hurt again, we must find out the secret about Tiantian this time.

"Dad, I don't agree with ending it today."

"Should we continue to pretend that we are completely devoted to her without investigating the matter?"

Ruolan's current behavior is just like it was four years ago when she learned of his improper relationship with Ji Mengran, and she was just as determined to leave his side.

"But if we don't investigate thoroughly, will Mengmeng continue to suffer from injustice from time to time?" Gu Shiyu countered.

“Yes, brother. The reason we’re doing this is precisely to prevent any further trouble,” Gu Jingsi chimed in.

The words may be crude, but the principle is sound, and everyone present understood this.

However, if this continues, new problems will arise.

Just like Ruolan, she's about to leave him.

Gu Yinshen lowered his head and said helplessly, "Are you just going to let your mother continue to misunderstand?"

They can neither explain it nor stop this behavior. Are they really preparing to make these chaotic days even more chaotic?

Xie Beiling supported Gu Yinshen's approach. Rather than torturing himself and those around him in this way, it would be better to think of other solutions.

"I'm going back. There are people waiting for me at home." Xie Beiling patted Gu Yinshen on the shoulder.

He has already left Xie Yumin alone at home for a day or two. If he continues to focus his attention on things he shouldn't, Xie Yumin, who has finally returned to his side, will probably leave him as well.

"Dad, are you really going to stop?" Gu Shiyu didn't get a definite answer, so he asked again.

"Hmm." Gu Yinshen nodded. "Whether she's biologically related or not doesn't matter. If she does anything that would harm the harmony of the family, we can just send her away."

After saying that, he took out his phone and contacted Lao Zhang, the driver who drove Ruolan and the others.

When the car arrived at the beach, Mengmeng got out and ran happily towards the sea.

With her feet wet in the seawater, she turned around excitedly and shouted, "Mommy, Aunt Yuan'er, come quick!"

Children will always be children; they get overjoyed by the smallest things.

Looking at the absent-minded Ruolan, Nan Yuan'er thought it over and decided to tell her about their plan.

"Sister-in-law."

"Ok?"

Ruolan turned to look at Nan Yuan'er.

"Are you worried about your older brother?" Nan Yuan'er asked.

Chasing after another car is extremely dangerous. If you drive to the side or fall, the consequences could be unbearable.

Ruolan didn't hide anything from Nan Yuan'er, nodding and saying, "Yes, his behavior was too dangerous. Luckily nothing happened. If something had, I don't know what I would have done."

"Sister-in-law, I know you're angry because of what my brother and the others did to Tiantian. Actually..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ruolan called out, "Mengmeng?"

In the instant she spoke, Mengmeng's figure disappeared from sight.

Nan Yuan'er's face turned deathly pale. She pointed to a black dot on the waves and asked, "Is that... is that Mengmeng?"

"It can't be, it can't be." Ruolan muttered to herself, but her body betrayed her and she walked toward the dark spot.

At this time of day, there were hardly any people at the beach. Nan Yuan'er wanted to find someone nearby to help Mengmeng, but she couldn't see anyone else besides them.

"The phone, the phone!" she muttered, her arm trembling as she took the phone out of her pocket.

A pleasant ringtone sounded, and Gu Jingsi took his phone out of his pocket. Looking at the caller ID, he waved the phone in front of Gu Yinshen.

"Hey, honey, where are you guys?"

"Jing Si, something's happened!"

The call was on speakerphone, and this sound made the hearts of the three people present jump instantly.

Gu Yinshen snatched the phone away and asked urgently, "What happened?"

"Mengmeng... Mengmeng seems to have been swept away by the waves!"

"what?"

The three responded to Nan Yuan'er in unison.

Nan Yuan'er clutched her phone, tears streaming down her face. "Come here quickly!"

"Yuan'er, don't rush. Send me your location first, and we'll head over now. Keep your phone on the go in the meantime. See if there are any search and rescue personnel nearby. If you need help, don't go into the sea to rescue people directly," Gu Jingsi anxiously instructed.

Gu Yinshen has already called Lao Zhang again.

Ruolan walked into the sea, and a wave crashed over her, forcing her to step back.

After the waves subsided, the black spots disappeared as well.

"Sister-in-law, it's too dangerous, you come up first!" Nan Yuan'er shouted.

Upon hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Gu Yinshen reached out and snatched the phone away. He hung up immediately and made a video call.

Nan Yuan'er quickly answered the call, and the screen displayed the anxious faces of the three people.

"Where is your sister-in-law?" Gu Yinshen questioned.

Nan Yuan'er switched the camera to the beach, where Ruolan was standing and calling out Mengmeng's name.

The video showed only the two of them on the entire beach. Gu Yinshen shouted through the phone, "Ruolan, it's too dangerous, come back!"

The wind carried his voice to Ruolan's ears, and she subconsciously turned around, mistakenly thinking that Gu Yinshen had really arrived.

"Sister-in-law, come back first!" Nan Yuan'er called out. Seeing that Ruolan hadn't moved and that the second big wave was about to come, she hurriedly went forward to pull Ruolan back.

Gu Jingsi, who was watching the screen, saw what Nan Yuan'er was doing and stopped her, saying, "Yuan'er, don't go any further."

She was pregnant, which already made it difficult for her to move around. If she went any further, the waves would come and neither of them would be able to walk.

"mom!"

Mengmeng held a stone in her hand and looked nervously at Ruolan, who was facing the sea.

"Mengmeng!" Nan Yuan'er saw Mengmeng appear in front of her unharmed and immediately stepped forward to grab her hand and examine her carefully. "Mengmeng, it really is Mengmeng."

On the other side, Ruolan heard Mengmeng calling her name. She turned around and saw Mengmeng standing in front of Nan Yuan'er. Her body subconsciously moved towards them.

But the waves came too suddenly. Ruolan had only walked a few steps when the waves surged up and quickly fell back down.

Seeing that Ruolan was about to be swept into the sea by the waves, Mengmeng dropped the stone and ran towards Ruolan.

"Mommy!" Mengmeng called out.
