As soon as the fire was extinguished, Lu Xiaoyao and the others snapped back to reality as if on high alert.
"It's almost dawn, let's pack up and head up the mountain."
Their original plan for today was to go sightseeing in the mountains, but after Wang Wenfei said that last night, their plan was changed to going up the mountain to find someone.
"However, let me make this clear from the start: we... have only searched until 2 PM. If there's no other way, we'll head down the mountain and come back before dark."
After last night's fright, Lu Xiaoyao has learned her lesson. Not only will she not go out after dark, but she will also light torches in her living area.
“I always felt that your dad’s disappearance was just a plot device, and now it’s time for us to go up the mountain. Who knows what we might encounter up there.”
"Well, but we probably can't go up the mountain, there's probably something else waiting for us."
Just as they finished speaking, a commotion suddenly arose downstairs.
"What happened?"
Mingmei got dressed and ready early in the morning, waiting for Lu Xiaoyao and the others to come downstairs. But Lu Xiaoyao and the others didn't come, and her shop door was knocked on loudly.
"Mr. Ming! Have you seen the girl who came home?"

Hearing Wang Wenfei's voice in the store, the other person's face instantly turned fierce again, and he cursed, "I told her to go find her dad, but she's here eating and drinking like a king with her classmates!"
After saying that, she rudely reached out to push Mingmei aside and rush into the store, but unexpectedly Mingmei grabbed her hand and pulled her out the door.
"What do you mean?!"
The other person's voice was so loud that Mingmei felt like she was going to go deaf. Lu Xiaoyao and the others heard the commotion and rushed downstairs to check the situation.
"Mom, what are you doing here?"
Lu Xiaoyao and the others looked at the middle-aged woman with a shrewish face at the door, and then at Wang Wenfei calling her "Mom." In an instant, everyone knew that this person was probably up to no good.
"You didn't come home all night, of course I had to come looking for you! Are you going to abandon this family and run away like your father did?!"
