Chapter: 951

He finished speaking, Xiu Changkun walked out slowly with his hands behind his back.

Xiu Chunran let out a long sigh and hesitated for a moment before saying to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, you know many people in Jinling. That Mr. Hong seems to have a good relationship with you. Can you ask him to help look into this? See if anyone has seen Mom."

Ye Chen said: "Wife, kids will sometimes get back late from playing outside too. Mom only went out for an afternoon, what's there to rush about? She used to play mahjong and wouldn't even get up from the table after losing eight rounds. If she really is going to someone else's place to play cards, it would be hard to find her even if we turned Jinling upside down!"

Xiu Chunran thought for a moment before saying: "Alright then, let's wait a bit longer. If Mom doesn't come back by 10 o'clock, I'll go to the police station."

"What about the police?" Ye Chen said uncomfortably: "It can't be that serious? The police are usually quite busy during the day, and this kind of thing shouldn't bother them."

"But how else should we do it," Xiu Chunran said seriously: "My grandmother has been missing for so long without being found. If my mom is in the same situation, what would we do then! If we don't see or contact Mom by 10 o'clock, you'll have to accompany me to the police station!"

Xiu Chunran hardly touched her food during dinner.

She repeatedly picked up her phone to call or send WeChat videos to Ma Lan, but everything was like still water, with no feedback at all.

Xiu Changkun was one face of calm and composed, thinking that it would be best for Ma Lan to run away, just like Qi Hongyan did. That way, he could have a carefree life.

Xiu Chunran kept insisting on going to the police station, while Xiu Changkun said beside her, "Hey, Chunran, your mom is an adult now. She might have something she wants to do, so what business is it of yours? If she really wants to leave this house, you can't let the police bring her back here, right?"

"How could that be?" Xiu Chunran said seriously, "Mom has been waiting for Tang Chen's soup for so long. Now it's finally moved in, and she wants to leave again. With her character, she won't leave at this time! Dad, you've lived with Mom for so long, don't you understand her?"

Xiu Changkun suddenly fell into deep thought.

His daughter's words struck a chord with him.

What kind of person is Ma Lan?

She's someone who's proud to the point of explosion, even dreaming of enjoying herself.

And she's also the type who would never think of leaving home when the whole family is moving in together. This is completely out of character for her.

He couldn't help but furrow his brow, pondering in silence, wondering if Ma Lan had indeed met with some unexpected incident?

In reality, Xiu Changkun was still very displeased with Ma Lan, but having lived together for so many years, he couldn't help but feel a pang of unease if something had happened to her. If he were staying at home drinking tea, it would seem somewhat out of place.

So he let out a sigh and said, "Let's eat first, then go out and look around together."

Xiu Changkun saw his daughter's attitude relax slightly, feeling relieved inside, and hurriedly said, "How about we go our separate ways later? I'll report to the police, and you can find your mom at the mahjong parlor she usually goes to."

He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go look for it."

Yè Chén said, "Old lady, why don't you come with me to report to the police?"

Xiu Changkun quickly said, "Reporting to the police is simple; one person can handle it. You should follow your dad and go around looking together instead."

"Okay." Yè Chén nodded slightly, but was still worried about Xiu Changkun, so he turned to Dōng Ruì Lín and said, "Ruì Lín, why don't you accompany Changkun?"

Dōng Ruì Lín quickly replied, "No problem, I'll accompany Changkun." JrNovels.com
