There are currently 36 people waiting before Ning Wan.
Ning Wan turned her head, her gaze frequently drifting towards the doorway.
Ning Wan didn't set up her stall yesterday because Ning Yan's book ran away from home.
It's getting late. If I don't go back and prepare lunchboxes soon, I'll be starving again today...
...
Compared to Ning Wan's anxiety, Aman, who was also a missing person, appeared much calmer.
He looked at the ceiling for a while, then stared at the floor.
Then he observed the crowd of people queuing up together not far away.
Ning Wan tugged at his sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Aman, I'm taking you to the police station now. Just sit here and wait. A police officer will come to find you soon, okay?"
