As soon as Xian Mingyu returned to the new courtyard, Xia Xia and Aunt Qin rushed out of the house anxiously.

"Young Master, didn't you come back with Young Madam?"

"The young mistress went out this afternoon and hasn't returned yet."

Bai Xiaoruo hasn't returned yet?

What time is it now?

That girl must have gone crazy having fun outside, right?

What did you say?

Xia recounted the whole story to Xian Mingyu: "It's like this, the young mistress waited for you at home for several hours today, but you didn't come back. Around 3:30, the young mistress said she was going out by herself. She didn't even bring the driver; she went out alone, saying she was going to see her grandfather."

Xuan Mingyu strode into the house and used the landline to call Bai Xiaoruo's cell phone. A few seconds later, her cell phone rang, but the sound came from the sofa.

Damn it! She actually left her phone at home.

Without her cell phone, it would be impossible to pinpoint her location, making it like searching for a needle in a haystack in such a large city as L.

In the past, no matter where she went, she always carried her mobile phone with her.

He hadn't taken her out today, and Xian Mingyu had a bad feeling. What if that little girl had encountered danger outside? What if...?

He dared not think any further and immediately dialed Gu Yao's number again.

"Immediately get me a new copy of Bai Xiaoruo's information, especially her relatives, including information about her maternal grandfather. Send a few more people to search in the west and south of the city. Also, keep an eye on the Ji family, especially Ji Ziqian and Ji Shushu, and see if they have any contact with Bai Xiaoruo."

Gu Yao had just answered the phone, still a little confused. [What happened? Has something happened to Xiao Ruo?]

"It's not certain yet. She didn't take her phone with her, and she hasn't come back since she left this afternoon."

[I understand. I'll go check for you right now. Don't worry too much; Xiaoruo will probably be back soon.]

Hopefully.

Hopefully, that little girl will really come back soon.

Return safely.
