Chapter 225 The Old Lady Disappeared
Gu Yunchi answered truthfully, "I asked Yubai to ask Tianxiang, and Tianxiang told me."
Lan Yu pursed his lips and was silent for a few seconds, "You could just ask me directly, why are you taking such a big detour?"
Gu Yunchi: "I want to give you a surprise, is it a surprise?"
Lan Yu: "Okay, it's indeed a little surprise. Are you busy? Did I disturb you?"
Gu Yunchi glanced at the row of department directors sitting on the long sofa opposite, and replied with a smile, "I'm not busy. There's always work to do. Occasionally stopping to talk to you is also a way to relax."
Seeing that Gu Yunchi said he was not busy, Lan Yu continued, "By the way, my aunt's test results are out. She is three months pregnant. She was shocked. She never expected that she had been pregnant for such a long time."
Gu Yunchi: "She should thank you. If you hadn't discovered the abnormality, she wouldn't have known when she would have discovered it."
Lan Yu: "There are cases like this, where people didn't know about it until they had stomach pain and gave birth."
Gu Yunchi: "Well, I remember seeing similar news."
Sister Li brought over the cut peaches and said, "Madam, please taste these peaches and see if they are sweet."
Lan Yu picked up a small fork, pierced a piece of peach and took a bite, "Hmm, this peach is very sweet, Sister Li, let us all eat it together."
Gu Yunchi listened on the other end of the phone and said with a smile: "Then I'll have someone send a few more boxes."
Lan Yu: "Okay, these peaches are really good. They're not our local peaches, are they?"
Gu Yunchi: "No, these are peaches from City A. I had them picked from the orchard and then airlifted here."
Lan Yu: "Wouldn't that cost a lot of shipping?"
Gu Yunchi: "That's just a small amount of money, just eat it if you like it."
At this moment, Tian Xiaoqin suddenly ran over and asked, "Has everyone seen the old lady?"
Sister Li wondered: "Isn't the old lady watching TV in her room all the time?"
Tian Xiaoqin: "Originally, she was, but I just took her quilt to the backyard to dry. I stayed there for a few minutes, and when I came back, the old lady was gone. I thought she ran out to play with you."
Gu Meichan waved her hand and said, "My mother can't run far. She must have gone to some room. Let's search each room and call everyone else out to help look for her."
"Honey, grandma is missing. I'm going to look for her first. I'm hanging up now." Lan Yu quickly hung up the phone and dispersed with everyone else to look for Zhang Yulan in the house.
Two minutes later, everyone returned to the living room, but no one found the old lady.
"It's broken!" Sister Li suddenly clapped her hands and shouted.
Lan Yu looked at Sister Li and asked, "Sister Li, what's wrong?"
Sister Li: "The courier just delivered peaches and I asked him to help move them to the kitchen. Could the old lady have run away at that time? I didn't close the door at that time and there was no one at the door."
Tian Xiaoqin blamed herself, "It's all my fault that I didn't keep an eye on the old lady. She must have run away at that time. I'll go out and look for her."
Li Wenhao: "I'll go with you, let's look for it separately."
Gu Meichan also said, "I'm going too."
Li Wenhao disagreed: "You and Yuyu are pregnant, so you should stay at home. If your mother comes back, no one at home will panic. The rest of you come out with me, and we will search nearby separately."
Sister Li analyzed: "The old lady has poor legs and feet, she probably can't walk far."
Lan Yu thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, you guys go out and look around. I'll call Yun Chi and ask him whether we should call the police or ask some people to come back to help look for it."
Li Wenhao: "Okay, let's do it this way. Let's go out and look for it first. We have to hurry up."
Li Wenhao took the others out. Lan Yu quickly called Gu Yunchi, and Gu Meichan also called her second brother Gu Qingdong.
Gu Yunchi had just learned that his grandmother was missing, and he had been feeling very panicked and had a bad premonition.
He let the department directors go first. Then he saw Lan Yu's call and quickly answered it. "Yu Yu, have you found grandma?"
Lan Yu: "Hubby, we've looked everywhere at home but couldn't find grandma. Sister Li said she might have run away when the courier was delivering the goods. Now my uncle has taken Xiaoqin and Sister Hua out to look for her."
"Do you want to call the police and ask them to help find it?"
Gu Yunchi thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll contact the police to help find it. Don't worry, it's easier for the police to look for it than for us to find it ourselves. You wait for my news at home and don't run around."
Lan Yu: "Well, my uncle asked my aunt and me to stay at home, and my aunt is calling my second uncle now."
Gu Yunchi: "Okay, then I'll hang up first. I'll call the police."
After Gu Yunchi hung up the phone with Lan Yu, he immediately called Jiang Lin, the criminal police captain of the Dongcheng Branch.
Jiang Lin learned that it was Gu Yunchi's grandmother who was missing, and he took it very seriously. He immediately gathered his team members and rushed to Gu Yunchi's home.
Gu Yunchi and Gu Qingsheng also rushed back.
On the way, Gu Qingsheng informed his elder brother Gu Qinghui and asked him to rush to Gu Yunchi's house as well.
Half an hour later, people who were on the road arrived one after another.
As soon as Gu Yunchi entered the house, he asked Lan Yu, "Are my uncle and the others back? Any news?"
Lan Yu shook his head and said, "She hasn't come back yet. I created a group and everyone is still looking for her nearby. I asked many passers-by and they all said they haven't seen grandma."
Gu Qinghui was puzzled: "That's strange. My mother is such a big person, how could she just disappear like that?"
Jiang Lin looked at Lan Yu and asked, "Madam, when I first came in, I saw a surveillance camera at the door. Is that normal?"
Gu Meichan quickly answered: "It's normal. We watched the surveillance video together and we did see my mother go out, but the surveillance video's field of view is limited, and we only saw her walking to the right."
Jiang Lin: "You never came back, did you?"
Gu Meichan nodded and said, "Yeah, I never saw her come back."
Jiang Lin: "Okay, do you have a recent photo of the old lady? What is she wearing today?"
Gu Meichan: "The surveillance camera can see what my mother was wearing. It seemed to be a reddish-brown floral suit, but I could only see her back."
Jiang Lin: "It is best to take a frontal photo, and describe the clothes in detail."
Lan Yu: "You have to ask Xiaoqin about this. Xiaoqin is responsible for taking care of grandma. She should have a photo of grandma, and the clothes that grandma wears were also prepared by her."
Jiang Lin: "Then let's call Xiaoqin back first, so she can tell us the details."
"Okay," Lan Yu called Xiaoqin. "Xiaoqin, where are you? Come back soon. The police are here and need to know about grandma's condition. They also need a photo of her. Have you taken any photos of her recently?"
Tian Xiaoqin: "Madam, I just took a few photos of the old lady this morning. I will be back soon. I will ride a shared bike back. It will be very fast, only five minutes away."
While waiting for Tian Xiaoqin, Gu Qinghui pulled Gu Qingdong aside and said, "Second brother, Mom shouldn't be able to walk far in her current condition. Do you think someone has kidnapped her?"
Gu Qingdong: "No way, why would you kidnap my mom?"
Gu Qinghui: "You want the shares in my mother's hands? Otherwise, why would you kidnap an old lady?"
Gu Qingdong narrowed his eyes, "You mean, it was my uncle who kidnapped my mother?"
Gu Qinghui: "I think it's probably true. Didn't my uncle ask the third son to take my mother to the nursing home last time? However, I heard that the third son and his wife went abroad to travel, so this must have been done by my uncle himself."
Gu Qingdong: "Then I will go talk to Yun Chi and see whether we should contact my uncle or go directly to his house to ask for the person."
