Gu Deshou was a successful businessman. He could sacrifice anything for his business affairs. Even though he felt really guilty for putting Zhuang Nainai through so many tough situations, he still continued to force her to do things for the benefit of his company.
However, he had never thought of making use of anyone in his entire life. All his innocence and passion had been dedicated to her.
However, he was also the person who had ruined everything that she had. He had caused her vibrant life to become the wreck that it was now.
Gu Deshou couldn’t explain how he was feeling at the moment. His phone was vibrating violently in his pocket, but he didn’t answer the call. His phone eventually turned off when it ran out of battery.
Zhuang Nainai wasn’t aware of all of these things happening. It was only after her phone started ringing that she snapped back to reality. She raised her head and quickly picked up her phone without looking at who the caller was.
Hello, do you have any news regarding my mother yet?



Si Zhengting sat next to her, his brows furrowed. After Zhuang Nainai disappeared yesterday, she had realized that she had not activated international roaming. Thus, Si Zhengting had done so for her. This was so that they could contact each other much more easily.
But now, she was… really too anxious and bewildered. They weren’t in China. If there was any news, the caller would have contacted the convalescent home first.
The more flustered she was, the more concerned she was. Upon reaching this conclusion, Si Zhengting’s heart sank.
He knew that if they couldn’t locate Mother Zhuang, his relationship with Zhuang Nainai would probably be over for real.
Without realizing it, Si Zhengting took a step forward and held Zhuang Nainai’s hand tightly.
The warm hand holding hers caused Zhuang Nainai to regain some of her rationality. She grimaced, about to say something, then heard a piercing voice emitting from her phone,
Zhuang Nainai, is Gu Deshou with you at the moment?! Is your family of three together?!

She had not expected to hear Li Yufeng’s voice through her phone.
Zhuang Nainai raised her head and glanced at Gu Deshou, then furrowed her brow. She didn’t feel like speaking. Thus, she hung up the phone.
Then, her phone started ringing and vibrating continually.
She was annoyed by Li Yufeng’s antics and wanted to turn off her phone. However, her phone number was the only phone number that her mother remembered. If her mother wanted to call and seek help but could only reach a phone that was turned off, what would happen to her?!


After thinking for a bit, Zhuang Nainai blacklisted Li Yufeng’s number, then started her long wait, which seemed to have no end in sight.
Half a day passed again, but no reliable source of news reached them. The director also seemed to be at a loss for what to do. He could only stare at his phone.
There was a hotel next to the convalescent home, which made it convenient for them to seek temporary lodging. However, when the director broached the topic with them, Zhuang Nainai and Gu Deshou replied in unison for the first time,
I’m not going.

They wanted to wait for news in the home.
The director, caught in the middle in this difficult situation, looked to Si Zhengting for help, and Si Zhengting nodded in reply.
During the wait, Si Zhengting left the home to buy some warm water and food. He knew that Zhuang Nainai was not in the mood to eat anything, so he found a driver to drive him a long distance away to buy some Chinese food.
Even though he did so much for her and accompanied her throughout the long wait, Si Zhengting was deathly afraid.
Late at night, the police suddenly called. After the director picked up the call, he was rooted to the spot in shock. He turned around and looked at Zhuang Nainai and Gu Deshou, who were looking at him with eager anticipation in their eyes. His lips moved, then he said something in Chinese.
Zhuang Nainai couldn’t understand anything, but she did hear him say the word
die.
This word caused her to jump to her feet, glaring at the director disbelievingly. She turned around to look at Gu Deshou. He said,
The director said that the police have found a Chinese woman by the river. However, she’s already dead…
