Lin Feiran had previously bought a small house in the city for Lin Rong and hired a servant named Aunt Wu to help her with housework, so that Lin Rong could enjoy the long-lost peace and quiet after so many years.
The old house in the countryside is the old house of the Lin family from many years ago. It is located on the edge of Linjia Village. Now no one lives there and there are only a lot of old miscellaneous items piled up.
Lin Rong grew up here and has deep feelings for this old house. He is reluctant to demolish it or sell it, nor is he willing to buy it. Basically, he comes back once a year to clean up the house so that it won't be left uninhabited for a long time and become completely abandoned.
Aunt Wu said that Lin Rong took a bus back to his hometown in the countryside early this morning. He should have been back in the afternoon, but it is already past eight o'clock in the evening and there is still no news. He can't get through on the phone.
Lin Feiran also called Lin Rong, but the call was not connected.
She immediately made a decision: "I'm going to go back to my hometown!"
It’s so late, and I can’t contact him since he hasn’t come back. I’m afraid something must have happened.
Chu Yu: "Okay, I'll go with you, and I'll also ask someone to help you check your mother's whereabouts and see what's going on."
Lin Feiran frowned and said, "Your hand is injured, so you don't need to go. You should rest at home..."
Chu Yu insisted: "It's just that one hand can't move. I can take Lao Guo with me. It's late at night and we're going to the countryside. I'm worried that you will be in danger alone."
Lao Guo is a bodyguard and driver under him, and he is very skilled.
Lin Feiran agreed.
Lao Guo drove the car, and the three of them headed to Linjia Village, which was more than an hour's drive from the city.
Linjia Village was quite prosperous in its early years, but now as most young people go to big cities to work hard, the population of the village is getting smaller and smaller. Now there are only a few left-behind elderly people, and the village is empty.
Especially now it is ten o'clock in the evening and everyone in the village is asleep. The whole village is dark and quiet, which is quite eerie.
Lin Feiran became even more worried when she thought that Lin Rong had no news here.
When we arrived at the Lin family’s old house, it was also dark and silent. It was old and dilapidated, and looked like a haunted house in a horror movie.
Lin Feiran called out to Lin Rong several times at the door, but there was no response from inside.
The door of the old house was opened. It was obvious that Lin Rong had been in there before. Lin Feiran had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in to look for him.
Chu Yu and Lao Guo also followed in, and the three of them turned on the flashlights on their mobile phones to provide lighting.
I searched the old house up and down but couldn't find Lin Rong.
At this time, Chu Yu received a call from his subordinates, saying that they had found out that Lin Rong did take the bus back to Linjia Village this morning and entered the village, but there was only surveillance at the entrance of the village, and no one knew where Lin Rong went afterwards.
At least it can be confirmed that Lin Rong is indeed in Linjia Village.
When Lin Rong comes back, he may not just stay in the old house. If he can't find it here, he can only continue looking nearby.
Lin Feiran became more and more worried, her heart was tense and seemed to be hanging in her throat.
He said to Chu Yu anxiously, "Let's split up and look for it. This way we can be more efficient."
Chu Yu: "Then you should at least be with Lao Guo. It's okay for me to be alone."
Now he already regretted not bringing enough people with him.
He now has an injured hand and is not as strong as Lao Guo, so it is safer to let Lao Guo follow Lin Feiran.
Lin Feiran knew that even if Chu Yu lost one hand, he would still be able to protect himself if he encountered any danger, so she had no objection.
The three of them split into two groups. Chu Yu went towards the village to look for Lin Rong, and asked the villagers if they had seen Lin Rong. Lin Feiran and Lao Guo went to look outside the village on the other side.
There were no street lights outside the village, and it was getting darker.
The flashlight on the mobile phone is not bright enough or penetrating enough. It can only illuminate a small area in front of you. You can't see anything further away.
Lin Feiran didn't care about being afraid anymore. She opened her mouth and kept calling Lin Rong's name as she walked.
When they walked to a river outside the village, Lin Feiran suddenly saw in the dim light that there seemed to be a figure in the water by the river!
She rushed over and saw the figure lying on the shallows of the river, motionless, his life or death unknown. Looking at the familiar figure and clothes, it was actually Lin Rong!
Lin Feiran was so frightened that she screamed.
"mom!"
Lin Rong was on the other side of the river. She wished she could just jump over in one step, but the river was several meters above the edge of the embankment. It was summer, the flood season, and the river was turbulent and fast. Most people would be swept away immediately if they got into the water.
Old Guo also ran over and saw Lin Rong on the other side of the river. He quickly said to Lin Feiran, "Young Madam, please don't move. I'll do it! I'm a good swimmer and can swim across!"
Lin Feiran knew that this was no joke. No matter how anxious she was, she could only watch Lao Guo take off his clothes and go into the river, swimming hard towards the other side of the river against the fast current and waves.
After swimming for half a day, he finally reached Lin Rong. Lao Guo pulled Lin Rong to the shore and went to check on her condition.
Lin Feiran was already waiting anxiously, shouting over there: "How is my mother?..."
God knows how panicked she is now.
Lin Rong must not be in any danger!
What she never expected was that before Lin Feiran finished her words, a huge force suddenly came from behind her and pushed her hard!
Lin Feiran was standing on the edge of the riverbank. She was caught off guard by the sudden push and fell into the river!
Below was the turbid yellow river water, surging and surging, with waves swirling violently, and it was unknown how deep it was.
"Feiran!"
At the moment when Lin Feiran was about to fall into the river, a hand suddenly reached out and held her hand tightly!
She was suddenly pulled back, but her whole body still hit the river bank heavily. She felt a piercing pain in her leg, probably because she was hit by a stone on the river bank.
Lin Feiran turned her head and even in the dark, she recognized the most familiar face.
It was Chu Yu who held her back!
Before she could even recover from the thrill of surviving the ordeal, she felt something was wrong. The hand Chu Yu was holding hers felt a little strange...
Only then did Lin Feiran realize that Chu Yu was using his injured right hand to pull her!
