"The old professor has grown old over the years and it is difficult for him to travel far away. But he still hasn't given up looking for his daughter and goes out every once in a while. You are lucky, as he just came back from a long trip and he probably won't be traveling again in the short term."
After listening to Gao Heguang's words, Su Miaomiao felt very suffocated in her heart.
How could such a righteous family end up like this?
"I have no other intention in telling you this, I just want to remind you that the old professor is no longer in the same mood as before because his daughter is missing and his lover has left him. His temper has also become a little strange. We will go find him later. If his behavior makes you feel uncomfortable, I hope you don't take it personally."
This is the reason why Gao Heguang just talked about such a long paragraph.
"Don't worry about that. I will never offend the old professor." Su Miaomiao said firmly.
"Yeah." Gao Heguang nodded.
The car drove for about half an hour and finally stopped in front of a very dilapidated building.
This place is already close to the outskirts of the city. The road is narrow and broken, and there are many dirty children on the roadside. They are all hungry and skinny, which makes the eyes on their faces look big and black.
Looking at it from a distance, it still seems a bit scary.
"Don't worry, these people won't hurt anyone." Gao Heguang was afraid that Su Miaomiao, a girl, would not be able to adapt to such a place, so he spoke to comfort her.
Su Miaomiao nodded slightly, looked away after just a few seconds.
Even in the provincial capital, there are still so many people who are hungry and cold.
Gao Heguang led the way in front, while Lu Xiuyuan carefully protected Su Miaomiao by his side.
After passing through a long alley, they finally arrived at their destination for the day.
"The old professor lives on the third floor." Gao Heguang took Su Miaomiao and Lu Xiuyuan to the third floor.
The building was shabby and had a long corridor on each floor. Each door represented a household. Su Miaomiao could tell at a glance that there were at least a dozen households.
"The old professor has almost spent all his family wealth in his search for his daughter over the years, so he has no choice but to live here," Gao Heguang explained.
Su Miaomiao nodded slightly.
Gao Heguang found the old professor's house and knocked on the door.
There was no movement in the room. Gao Heguang knocked patiently a few more times. On the fourth time, Su Miaomiao heard footsteps.
The next moment, the door was opened a crack from the inside.
An old man with white hair and a haggard face stood inside.
"Professor Jiang, it's me, Gao Heguang." Gao Heguang introduced with a smile.
Professor Jiang stared at him for a moment. After recognizing him, the vigilance in his eyes subsided a little, and all the doors opened.
"Why are you here? Is there any news about my daughter?" Professor Jiang's voice was very hoarse.
"Professor Jiang, can we go in and talk first?" Gao Heguang asked.
Professor Jiang frowned, but did not refuse and moved aside.
Over the years, those friends and relatives who once actively helped him have now distanced themselves from him.
Gao Heguang was one of the few people who were willing to visit him over the years.
Gao Heguang brought Su Miaomiao and Lu Xiuyuan into the room.
The room was completely barren, and there was nothing of value to be seen with the naked eye.
"Professor Jiang, these two are my friends. He is Lu Xiuyuan, and this is Su Miaomiao. She is currently studying at the University of Melbourne." Gao Heguang introduced to Professor Jiang.
