Lan Rongchang had never suffered such a blow. His already aged face seemed to have aged ten years more. He squatted on the ground, his eyes red and swollen. "How could this happen? I called Qingqing this morning, and she was perfectly fine!"

"Qingyue is lucky and will be alright."

Gu Chong's words of comfort to Lan Rongchang were so inadequate that even he couldn't calm down, let alone Lan Rongchang.

At this moment, everyone was overcome with sadness.

"Have you found him yet?" Gu Chong asked the staff member who stayed behind. The person must still be in the city and couldn't have gone far.

Staff: "Not yet, but we are working hard to find it, Mr. Gu, please rest assured."

The car disappeared in a blind spot of the surveillance cameras. The driver was either caught driving under the influence of alcohol or had an accident in the blind spot and the car stopped.

The operating room door remained closed.

Time passed second by second, but Qi Yu remained standing there like a statue, silent and motionless, as if he had no feeling and had not even moved his body.

Yang Yue went out and came back, having bought some food.

"Dad, Uncle Lan, President Qi, Axi, Yizhi, I bought some food, please have some first."

Everyone had taken time off from work to come here, and it was well past lunchtime. No one knew when the surgery would be over.

Lan Rongchang shook his head, his voice hoarse, "No need, thank you, child."

He can't eat anything right now.

Gu Chong was in the same boat; he had finally found his daughter, but the family hadn't even had a chance to enjoy the happiness of family life.

The sculpture at the entrance is still there, in the same spot.

Gu Yizhi moved his lips, ready to say what he had prepared, but his throat was so sore that he ended up saying nothing.

It was already dark, and none of the people waiting outside the surgery room had any intention of going home.

At home.

Yang Yue gave Chu Chu and Gu Chenxi a bath and carried them back to their room, where the two little ones shared a room.

"Sweetie, let's go to sleep now."

"Auntie's house, why isn't Mommy home yet?" Chu Chu asked in a childish voice, covered with a cartoon quilt, her two chubby hands outside, and her big, bright eyes like grapes.

Having witnessed such a bloody scene, it's impossible that Chu Chu wouldn't have been traumatized. Fortunately, Yang Yue was experienced in taking care of children and managed to distract Chu Chu by talking non-stop for an entire afternoon.

Gu Chenxi was also curious, "Mommy, when is Auntie coming back?"

"Babies, go to sleep quietly, you'll see it when you wake up, okay?"

"Really?" the two little ones exclaimed in unison.

"Of course it's true. Be good, and I'll tell you a story."

Yang Yue picked up the storybook from the bedside table, turned to the page she had folded last time, and continued the story.

Her voice was beautiful; she told the most interesting stories with the fullest emotions. As soon as the story was finished, you could hear Chu Chu's soft breathing; she had fallen asleep.

Yang Yue put the book back in its place, left a bedside lamp on, closed the door, and went out.

She called Gu Yizhi, "The two children are asleep now, how's Qingyue?"

On the other end of the line, Gu Yizhi's voice was very low, "Still in surgery..."

"Why don't you, Dad, and Uncle Lan come back, and I'll take your place!"

Axi received a work call and left first. She didn't know if Qi Yu was still there, but when she brought Chu Chu home, Qi Yu was still there.
