Chapter 141 Something Happened at Home
Under the enthusiastic care of his two brothers-in-law, Xi Jiu fell into dire straits in the kitchen.
Ruan Qi didn't know that her boyfriend had to peel garlic after cutting snails. She returned to the living room and cleaned up the messy house with Nie Heng.
"Little Dog, where's the Master?"
"He's back to his master's sect." Nie Heng threw two small dried fish to Da Hui and Xiao Hui and replied, "He said he was going to see Master Chu and would be back before dinner."
Ruan Qi nodded, adjusted the pillows on the sofa, picked up her phone and sat down.
She opened Weibo and replied to the birthday wishes from her friends in the circle, then opened WeChat and clicked into the Ruan family's "Happy Family" group.
The chat history in the group still stopped at this morning. The last message was sent by Grandpa Ruan, wishing his granddaughter a happy birthday and attaching a big red envelope.
Ruan Qi accepted the red envelope and looked at the time when Grandpa Ruan sent the message - a little after seven this morning.
Ruan Qi frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
Every year when the little girl celebrates her birthday, her family members are even more enthusiastic than she is. For example, when she was in Country M and couldn't come back for her birthday two years ago, her family members flooded the WeChat group with messages all day long, sending out huge red envelopes.
But today... the Ruan family group seemed too quiet.
From eight o'clock in the morning until now, nearly eight hours, no one in the group has spoken.
This is not in line with the style of the Ruan family.
The more Ruan Qi thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She left the WeChat group and privately messaged Ruan's mother, Yang Liu.
[It's Xiaoqi: Mom, what are you doing? ]
After sending the message, Yang Liu did not reply for nearly five minutes.
Ruan Qi began to panic, and all kinds of terrible possibilities suddenly flooded into her mind, such as 'Grandpa Ruan is seriously injured and hospitalized, Grandma Ruan is unconscious, and Ruan's parents are discovered by their enemies'.
She privately messaged Ruan's father again and sent him an emoticon.
As a result, the message fell on deaf ears. Mr. Ruan, who would answer his daughter's calls as soon as possible even when he was asleep, did not respond at all.
This time, Ruan Qi was completely panicked.
She grabbed Nie Heng's arm and asked anxiously, "Little Dog, did your family contact you today?"
"Home?" Nie Heng shook his head blankly. "No, what's wrong?"
Ruan Qi's face began to turn pale.
"I just contacted my parents, but they didn't reply. The last message in the WeChat group was around 7:00 this morning. This isn't normal, little dog."
When Nie Heng heard Ruan Qi's words, his expression gradually changed.
It's indeed abnormal.
My family dotes on my senior sister so much. How could they not flood the group with messages on her birthday?
The smile on Nie Heng's face disappeared.
"Don't panic, Senior Sister. I'll call the home phone. There are two nannies at home, and Grandpa Ruan and Grandma Ruan are also here. It's impossible that no one will answer."
After saying that, he took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed the landline at home.
The phone beeped for a long time, and the cold electronic sound made people feel uneasy.
Nie Heng slowly tightened his grip on the phone, and finally, the line was disconnected.
No one answered.
At this moment, Ruan Qi and Nie Heng's hearts sank completely.
There are two nannies on duty at home at the same time, and Grandpa Ruan and Grandma Ruan usually don't go out. It is impossible for no one to answer the landline phone.
Unless something happens at home and they can't answer the phone.
However, the people of Qingyun Village were simple and honest, and the possibility of something happening at home was almost zero. Unless—the enemies of Ruan's father and mother from the past appeared.
Thinking of this possibility, Ruan Qi suddenly stood up from the sofa.
"Book a flight! Go home now!"
